venture to put one of the many in writ
ing. A friend of mine in the little town of
Nunda n. Y. employees from three to ten men
continuously, and the employer, as a general
rule, was quite popular with his help, more so
I suppose, from the fact that he was ever
ready and willing to discuss a subject pro
and cou with them, and he never lets his
temper get the better of him. On this occa-
sion he had a burly Irishman at work in his
warehouse, whom l will call O'Houlihan.
Now O'Houlihan was Democrat to the very
backbone, and his employer never lost an
opportunity to try and wean him and induce
him to vote for the ''Grand old Party.''
O'Houlihan had been to the meeting the
night before which was addressed by the
Hon. Daniel E. Sickels. He came homo
rather late filed full of mixed decoction of
the morning the gentleman addressed Pat
politely, and inquired II he had heard the
Honorable Mr.. Sickels speak last evening?
Pat replied in the affirmative when the fol-
lowing dialogue ensued.
Employer-Now see here Pat very soberly)
you had better join the Republican ranks.
O'Houlihan-Well sur Boss that's a matter

Employer-Pat. I'd give ten dollars to
see yon on the right political track.
O'Houlihan--And work month gratis
to see you on the same side as mesef.
Employer-Pat if you vote the Democratic
ticket and Democratic President is elected,
you will be working for me for dollar day
less next year, than you receive this year
Labor will be so cheap that you will be glad
to work for your board if Democrat is
elected.

trade says: There exists the material from
which large wheat crop is possible. Fine
native wheat is firm; inferior wheat and d
weaker; flour is inactive; foreign wheat is
unimproyed and receipts small. The eargoes
off the coast have declined Cd. Two cargoes
of No. California has gone to the continent
without extra freight, at 30s Sd. Eleven car
goes arrived four sold and four were with

NEW YORK.

Speclal Telegram 10 Lne CloDe.
New YORK, Mar. 3.-Stocks opened very
active though somewhat irregular. Delaware
q Lackawanna was again prominent, open
ing at 1907 and selling at 1913 within half
an hour Lake Shore, the grangers', Union
Pacific and Louisville 81 Nashville were the
strong features and advanced in manner
that must have caused the shorts in them
to feel anything but comfortable. The fears
that the twist in Delaware 81 Lackawanna
would (as in the case of the Hannibal d St.
Jo) consign it to oblivion were groundless,
1t has been active enough to suit
the most fastidious. Those who see
fit to sell solid per cent. security short
with impunity, must expect to pay the pen
alty-the stock still lives. BY 80 p. IN. the
market was ON the edge of a small boom.
All the lending properties were advancing
and very active, giving an appearance of as
much health as anything witnessed in long
time. The bears were worsted at every point.
There was some excellent buying of Pullman
Palace. The only disturbing element
appears 10 be fear of war be-
tween some of the western lines.
We're these difficulties settled it
would be plain sailing for the bulls. The
market closed buoyant, with nearly every
thing at the top notch for the day.
There was a good deal of uneasiness on
the part of timid shorts in Lackawanna, and
as high as l 15 was paid for the use of the
stock. In the room the difference was at no
lime more than = and during the forenoon
gradually reduced, so that by the middle
hours there was no difference be-
tween cash and regular stock. While
Lackawanna absorbed large share
of attention, the Vanderbilt brokers
were buying Union Pacific. In fact the
manipulation continued wherever there was
any short interest,notably New York Central,
Lake Shore, st. Paul and Louisville 81 NASH
vile. After the first hour the market was
feverish, very strong and quite weak by
turns. Union Pacific sold up to 50 and in a
very short time was at 80; Northwestern
huctuated between 1174 and 119; Lake
Shore was steadily advanced and was not
allowed to go back materially. At the same
time Canada Southern was active and adj
vancing. West Shore bonds were strong all
day. Transactions in Lackawanna and
Union Pacific were very large.
The S. V. White party who manipulated
the deal In Lackawanna were free sellers d,l-
ring the forenoon, and the shorts found no
difficulty in supplying all their needs. New
York Central loaned at 1872; Northern Pa
cific preferred at 1-64; Union Pacific at a :;
Lake Shore at Il and Lackawanna from a
to q. The Northern Pacific was very quiet
until the last hour when Oregon Transconti-
mental was taken in hand and advanced
sharply. The strictly Gould stock was en-
tirely neglected except Western Union. Van
derbilt brokers were buyers of Lackawanna
at the close. The Osborn party were seem
ingly rulers OF ST. Paul. The general tone is
firm.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1884-03-04

though there are some lines of local short stuff.
The receipts of cattle were 1000. At the
opening the market was quiet and easy. Buyers
held off for concessions which receivers were
slow to grant, but towards noon they began to
take hold quite freely, and liberal business was
transacted during the remainder of the day
Holders became more anxious to make sales
and the feeling was weak on shipping, and
dressed beef grades, but steady on butchers
stock. Stockers and feeders were firm with no
offerings.
The receipts of hogs $500, with the quality
poor Shippers and spectators bought the best
grades freely, but packers held off. The feeling
was strong and prices advanced 10@20c. Sales
ranged at So. 6.IO@6.74 for light, S6.40@6.S0 for
rough packing, and S6.s5G7.40 for heavy pack
ing and shipping lots.
The receipts of sheep were 3,000, and the
market was easier. The largest shippers held
off the eastern markets being reported lower
Sales included 43s, good Nebraska wethers
averaging 1Os pounds at $5.65. This lot would
have sold for $3.50, Saturday. A few loads OF
natives averaging 100 pounds sold at S5.4O, and
one lot, averaging 10 pounds at S5.75, common
and inferior were dull.

All .Americams Lore Words,eorth
Modern Age.

AT dinner not long since, in converse
ton with the lady next to him, Mr.. Mathew
Arnold happened to mention Wordsworth,
adding, in an apologize way, that he sup
posed very few Americans knew anything of
that poet. The lady, who happened to be a
very good specimen of the ssra americana,
couldn't quite endure that reflection on her
countrymen, and took strong exception to
the statement. To fortify her assertion she
said she didn't believe there was guest at
the table who hadn't copy of WORDSWORTH IS
poems in his or her library. Mr.. Arnold,
acting ON the suggestion, interrogated each
one on the subject. To his surprise, he
learned from the replies that every one
claimed to possess the poets works.
