NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The stock market
opened foverish and ragged. Louisville
and Nashville, 90 lower; Central Pacific,
IL; Now York Central, Iii Lake Shore,
trrie, Union Pacific, and Kansas and
Texas, about \ lower than Thursdays
closing. The market recovered most of
the losses in the first half hours trading,
except on Louisville and Nashville, which
sold down to 80, and gained steadily until
noon, showing best prices Of the day.
Then trading dulled, and the market
began TO decline upon rather free realiza-
tions by the room traders. During tho
afternoon the bulls yielded worry slowly.
The bears tried to break ST. Paul, but 1t
hung at about 85l; IL touched S7f just
before noon.
Other active stocks about per cont,
from best prices reached at noon. Tho
plosing tono was rathor tame with q de-
sided inclination to take profits upon the
recent advance. Bonds dull, unchanged.

An Unsatisfactory Bond.

In the matter of Daniel p. Wright
guardian Of L. b. Wright, petition was
filed in the orphans court yesterday by
Irwin B. Wright, uncle Of tho ward
stating that the additional bond filed in
the case is worthless that II. w. BARLEY
was accepted as one Of the sureties against
the petitioners earnest protest; that no
has known BARLEY for nearly twenty
years; that he never know him TO pay
debt or own a oent's worth of property,
and that the property on Thirteenth
street Is covered with deed of trust be-
yond its value; that the other surety,
Philo Il. Wright, holds property in the
jurisdiction of the court ample to secure
the bond, but the property is held in
trust by him. For these reasons II is
asked that additional bond be required to
~ given.

The Young Lady and the Twins.
Chicdgo Herald.

A young lady was wheeling her mar
ried sisters twin babios along the street,
and close observer could have noticed
hor halt for u second, appear embarrassed,
while crimson blush mounted hor
cheeks. She saw coming up the street
her old beau, whom she had not seen for
two years, a. ho had bson away. Of
course tho fellow naturally supposed his
sweetheart had been married during his
absence, 80 no began grinnlng as no drew
near, tipped his hat, and passed on, con-
graduating himself on tho fate he had
escaped. 1t 10 useless to attempt to de-
scribe the feelings of tho young lady.

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate of
hard nickel composition metal and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts ofthe cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and sotidity, while
the vritten guarantee of the manufacturers
Wdrranting each case to wear twenty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
by years Of use without wearing through
the gold. nrnrorr T.. noo !. ,sso

Balky Believers.

Many are religious by fits and starts.
There is no attempt, as there should be,
at self-government and equipoise. They
don't live as if they believe that he
that ruleth his spirit is greater than he
that taketh city. Self-mastery is no
part of their creed. They consent to be
controlled, mastered by the force of emo
ton, impulse, temper Nerves super.
sensitive, the snap of twig startles them
temper like finder, the crack of an admon-
ishing whip angers them and then they
indulge in long pout and stubborn balk.
There are baking Christians, untrue, I'M
reliable, like balky horses which, so long
as the road is smooth, and the load is
light, and the harness don't gall them,
and you humor them, and coax them, and
pat them on the shoulder, and talk
sweetly to them, and have everything to
their liking, pull very we'll but let some
little thing happen out of the common
run of affairs, let the favoring conditions,
cease, then they balk and kick. 1t is so
with many in the church; they have no
deep sense of religious obligation. In
their esteem their religion is matter that
they may or may not regard, just as they
feel inclined. Its holy claims of daily
devotion to God, of loving service TOR
Christ, of fealty and loyalty to the church,
they submit to the tickle arbitrament of
their presiding impulses; if the verdict
be favorable they serve, if unfavorable
they balk, and their concern gives way to
unconcern, indefinite, protracted, abso-
Lutte Christian InteIhgencer.

The Old City Of Damascus.

The city of Damascus unrolls the longest
scroll of any city in history. Before
Abraham was, it was and Abraham was
q conspicuous figure in its early morning.
And Damascus is not the worlds oldest
city alone, but it is one of its most at
tractive in its situation and external
aspect. 1t stands on q great plain with
the grand Lebanon range of mountains
towering near it, and above all, the lofty
peak of Hermon, with its majestic fore
head of unmelting snow. The age of
Damascus, among other things, is due not
only to its situation on the great thorough
fare from the east to the west, but also to
the river ALBANIA flowing abundantly
through it in canals and rills and foun-
tains, carrying verdure and freshness to
every street and square and private court
yard and dwelling all the year. The
ALBANIA is fresh and swift running river,
clear as crystal. You are not surprised
that Naaman asked if Pharpar spd ALBANIA,
rivers of Damascus, were not better than
all the waters of Israel, when Elisha de-
manded that he should battle in the Jor-
dan. The Jordan below Lake Galiee has
not the clearness and beauty of these
rivers of Damascus. The city stands in
an immense forest-garden, green and lovely
as a picture, with trees and Towering
shrubs and fruit hanging richly from un-
counted boughs throughout the city, and
stretching for acres on every hand-apri-
cots and citrons and pomegranates and
almonds and tamarisks and pears aud
peaches and plums and mulberries and
the trailing vines of the luxuriaut grape.
The city fills the forest, the forest fills the
city, white amid the green, green amid
the white, the sight and sound of flowing
water everywhere, and the domes and
minarets of eighty mosques rising up with
the silver poplar, and the dark, tall, taper
ing cypress. Dean Stanley writes that,
when Mahomet first came up from Mecca
as camel-driver to this city, he stood
for long time gazing on it in silence,
with intense interest. Finally he said
Man can have but one paradise, and l
have chosen the one above, and turned
away from this bright vision" The Mos
lens call Damascus the earthly paradise,
and come up to it for feast and banquet.
1t is place to crafty every appetite and
lust. The dress of the people is as many
colored and picturesque as their cafes and
homes, and the palaces of the wealthy
are brilliant and almost as unsubstantial
as the leaves of a New England autumn.

The Sabbath.

The ideal Sabbath is the Sabbath at
home, when the head of the household
farmer or mechanic, merchant or lawyer,
capitalist or operative-enjoys a weekly
rest among those for whom six days of
labor have been spent. Whether the Sab
bath institution was or was not created
by the fourth commandment seems to be
in these words: Thou, nor thy son, nor
thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor
maid-servant," glimpse of the restful
enjoyment which the Day of Rest, in the
primitive conception of it, would bring to
the families that keep it. The Day of
Rest being rest, not revelry or dissipation,
aud being, therefore, day of home en-
joyment, with its opportunity for sober
thoughts and conference. A Sabbath
keeping people will become thoughtful
people, and such thoughtfulness is manli-
ness. All men, and especially the busy
millions in an advanced civilization like
our own, need for the minds sake, not less
than for the sake of wearied nerves and
muscles, the seventh daily intermission of
their ordinary work. A true Sabbath is
something far more restful than day of
noisy jollity. In its calm air the mind
rests by thought, not thoughtlessness by
quiet musing, by conscious or unconscious
retrospection; perhaps by consideration
of what might have been, perhaps by
thinking what may yet be, perhaps by
aspiration and resolve toward something
in the future that shall be better than
what has been in the past. The home in
which Sunday is day of rest and home
enjoyment is hallowed by the Sabbath
which it hsllows. In the Sabbath-keep-
ing village life is less frivolous, and at the
same time industry is more productive
