ESPECIALLY FOR THE LADIES,

A Christmas Hymn.
1t came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old.
From angels bending near the earth
10 touch their harps of gold;
peace on earth, goodwill to men
From Heavens all gracious King p
Inc worlo in solemn stiffness lay
10 hear the angels sing.
otln through the cloyen skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurlsd
And still their Heavenly music floats
Ger all the weary world
Above its sad and lonely plains
They bond on lowering wing,
And ever DER its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
But with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel strains have rolled
Two thousands years of wrong
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring
Oh, hush the noise, ye men of stlife,
And hear the angels sing.
And ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toll along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing
Oh, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing.
For 10, the days are Fastening on,
BY prophet bards foretold,
When, with the ever-ciroling years,
Comes round the age of gold;
When Peace shall over all the earth
It's ancient splendors fling,
ana the Whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

NEW YORK, July 3O.-Vanderbilt has
evidently thought it advisable TO copper
his famous remark in Chicago when he
said. ID the public, as President Depew
of the Central has announced that in the
settlement of the West Shore troubles every
effort was made to satisfy the dear public
and no effort will be made to punish any one.
or will be permitted. The early feeling
was very bulliSh, and the Gould following
got decidedly the worst of it in yesterdays
deal. Armour is giving points on an adj
vance in st. Paul and the general opinion
prevails that the reaction has been brought
to a standstill and will be followed by a
healthy rebound. The Sun, in its financial
columns, says: Mr.. Jay Gould. according TO
stock exchange gossip, has suffered losses
by the recent rise in the Vanderbilt and
granger stock to the amount of 81, 900, 600.
He has sold 100. 900 shares of Union Pacific
stock. a large quantity of Western Union.
and as much Missouri Pacific as the market
would bear. Being thus amply provided
with funds, he proposes to
TAKE THE FIELD
in conjunction with the Baltimore & Ohio
party. against the Morgan-L auier. Wander
bilt-W oerishoffer combination. They did
not consult him before putting the market
up and he means to show them that they
made mistake, all of which our readers
may believe or disbelieye, according to their
knowledge and judgment. 1t is beginning
to dawn upon the minds of investors that the
settlement of the West Shore trouble. pro-
posed by DreXel, Morgan II Co.. will fail to
raise the dividend on New York Central
stock above 4 per cent. per annmn, if it
does that. Without the West Shore COM
petition, the Central in 1882 earned barely
6% per cent. on its capital. Since then its
fixed charges have increased $500, 900 per
annum, while the interest on the proposed
$50, 900, 900 new4 per cents. will be 81, 00O.-
600. besides the expense of running the
West Shore. If the Central earns as much
hereafter as in 1882, it will have ST. 500. 600
more of fixed charges to pay than in
1882. 1t
EARNED THAT YEAR
IS, TAB, 9o4 minus 81. 500, 600. This leaves
50, 243. 9o4, or about 81 per cent. on its
$50, O00,0 of stock. Drexel. Morgan d
Co. report that the assents of West Shore
bondholders TO the scheme for transfer TO
the New York Central are coming i'm salts
