New YORK, March 27-It has been rather
a field day for the bears in Wall street The
Erie securities unsettled the market early,
the second mortgage bonds falling from 90%
to SO, and the stock from 22 Is to 20T. The
coalers were raided, and on big business
Delaware & Lackawanna dropped to 12411s,
and Reading from 55 to 5315. The West
Shore bonds were sold in large amounts also.
Lake Shore, on the prospect of
another 2 per cent dividend,
rallied to 102 but gave away later.
St. Paul was pretty well held until near the
close when it also became feeble.
Northern Pacific preferred held its own and
San Francisco preferred advanced to AK
TIE trade of the San Francisco line comes
from country that is full of grain and it is
enjoying lucrative business. The course
of stocks to-day has been quite discouraging.
Many believed that the sharp decline in the
grain markets would stimulate
the price of shares. It failed
to do so. There was no rally worth men
tioning in the late dealings. The market
closed quiet, with no indications of any i'm
provemen right away. Mr.. Gould's proper
ties appear to be left to take care of them
selves. On his return he may see fit to
brace them up.
Henry Clews g. Co. wired Schwartz &
Dupee, as follows: ''Soon after the opening
of the board the traders felt the sting Of
disappointment, that Mr.. Could
did not signalize his arrival by
becoming at once a pronounced buyer of
stocks. Many traders for several days past
have been busy loading themselves up ex-
pecting to sell out on him as soon as ht
reached Wall street. 1t soon became evidene
to such holders that it was necessary to look
elsewhere for buyers, than to Mr.. Gould, to
shift their burden upon. The market in
consequence has inclined to lower prices on
the apparent sad reality that Gould is not in
clined to climb for stocks at the present time.
Many uncharitable people indulge
in the suspicion that Gould may
be induced 10 be a buyer after

while at the then prices of some of the
stock. They assert he has fhdustriiously mark
etedunder the cloak of his absence but that his
time is not yet. There were ruinous rumors
calculated to produce favorable change, such
as the coalers would resume full work after
April first and that the trunk hne raotes were
to be restored at once, which coincided with
the out spoken and sanguine utterances pub
lished in an interview with Vanderbilt in the
papers but they failed to advance prices ex-
cept momentarily. The grain market race
ed again this morning and touched the low
est price for wheat in seventeen years. We
advise buYing now on weak spots.

Gordon Pasha's Religious Yiears.
Pail Mall Gazette.

| Naturally enough there is strong sympa-
thy in Gen. Gordon's character with Moham-
mechanism. Replying to correspondent
who had spoken OF MOhammedanism, as be-
ing imperilled he said: ''Not so. l find
the Mussulman quite as good Christian, as
many Christian, and do not believe he is
in any peril. All of us are more or less pa
gans. l like the Mussulman; he is not
ashamed of his God; his life is fairly pure
margin in the wife line, but, at any rate, he
never peaches on others. Can our Christian
people say the same thing?"
There is story to the effect that when the
King OF Abyssinia said to him, ''You are an
Englishman and Christian" Gordon re-
Piled: II am an Egyptian and Mussul-
man." But whatever truth there may be in
this story, he certainly views all religious
questions in a very broad and Catholic spirit
''The heather are Gods inheritance, and he
hears their prayers.n The incantations of
the native magicians, when employed in
good faith, are to him prayers which the
highest does not disdain to hear. When a
Aloogi Balaam cursed him from the river
bank he noted that it was odd disaster
soon afterwards followed, 81 believe" he
writes, ''that God may listen to the cries for
help from the heather who know Him not.
These prayers were earnest prayers for ce-
lestial aid in which the prayer knew he
would need help from some unknown power
to avert danger. That the native knows
not the true God is true, but God knows him,
and moved him to prayer, and answered his
| prayer
! Gen. Gordon is absolutely free from all
fear Of death. The story of his conversation
with the King of Abssynia is well known, in
which he informed the King that, 80 far
from dreading him because his life was in
his hands, he would be obliged to any one
who would relieve him of the burden of life
That expression, however, conveys a very
erroneous impression of Gordon's habitual
mode Of thought. No one is more cheerful
and few people have less patience with what
ne calls the 'cruet stand' expression of
countenance.
''Why are people like hearses, and look
like pictures of miserys 1t must be from
discomfort with the government of God, for
all things are directed by Him. If, by being
doleful in appearance it did good, 1 would
say be very doleful; but it does not do any"
So strongly indeed, does he follow this
out, that on one occasion he maintained
that a cheerful man of the world was much
more acceptable in Gods sight than a
gloomy ChristiBn.

English farmers are employing quick-lime
to prepare heavy clay soils for the produc-
ton of crops 1t is the usual practice to
apply the lime the season before the land is
to be planted.

latter sometimes dressed elegantly and ap-
peared well. Fisher was quiet and of pleas
ant address. An old admirer said of him
one day that ''no man was ever wrapped
up in tougher hide than Fisher" He was
run out of Mexico for robbery. He lived on
the border generally. He had killed many
men, his choice being Nexicans. He had a
deadly antipathy to the ''greasers," and en-
joyed killing them. When Fisher left Mexi-
co the last time he had several stolen horses
in his possession. His party was pursued.
When they reached the river he told his
men:
"Wait here till go back to the top of the
hill If they are so close that we won't have
time to get the horses across, / will fire my
gun and you will shoot the horses"
He rode back, and soon the report of his
gun was heard. The Mexicans came up soon
after only to find lot of dead and dying
horses.
Fisher was the man who was presented to
Horace Greeley in 1870 or 1871, when the
venerable editor was in Brennan for the pur-
pose of delivering an address before the agri-
cultural society. Mr.. Greeley had expressed
desire to see a typical Texas desperate,
and Fisher good humoredly posed before him
in this character. Mr.. Greeley looked at
him searehingly, and said he did not like to
ask an improper question, but he would
really like to know how many men Fisher
had killed.
"Only one," was the prompt reply.
'Why," said Mr.. Greeley, with look of
surprise. 81 was told that you had killed
five Mexicans at fandango on one occa-
sion, to say nothing about many other like
crimes.''
''Mexicansr' CALCULATED Fisher, with a
string of oaths which startled his inquisitor; !;
II don t call Mexicans men,
Among other stories of this mans mur-
derous exploits in Mexico is one to the effect
that he charged through town on the other
side of the Rio Grande with nine pairs of
Mexican ears strung ON his bride rein.
