A crusty Old Bachelor.

It was in Pullman sleeping-car in the
middle of the night.
The passengers were all asleep but two.
One of these, an elderly female, was moan
ing in an undertone:
"Oh, l sm so dry, / am so dry, | am SO
very, very dry"
She kept this monotonous cry up until
the other wakeful passenger, an old bache-
lor in the berth opposite, grew wild. He
got up, CROPPED his way to the end of the
car where the porter was engaged in black
ing boots. gave him coin, and told him to
take pail of ice-water to the old lady and
see that she drank every drop of it. Then
he got back into his berth.
The porter carried out his instructions,
the old lady thanked him gratefully, and
all was quiet.
Presently, and just as the old fellow was
losing himself in sleep, the same voice
ENORMOUSLY piped out:
@Oh, | was so dry, was so dry, ] was
SO very, very dry"
The bachelor passenger bounded to a
sitting posture, bumped his head against
the bottom of the berth above him, poked
his face through the curtains and shouted
Indignantly
aMy dear madam, will you be kind
enough to dry up"

A Rebuke Reversed.

Sister Grimes, after hearing the an
nouncement from the pulpit of the annual
campmeeting, at once determined to go.
aEf the weather permits" said she to
her friend, Miss Simpkins, "and Providence
is willin', l shall go, an stay through the
meetin'."
Accordingly, the ancient hair trunk was
packed, and Sister Grimes set out. The
first few miles were uneventful, and were
passed in counting the telegraph poles and
musing upon the infinite. Suddenly
change came over the spirit Of her dreams.
She sat upright, with startled expression,
which soon changed to one of Indignation.
Suddenly she faced about, and addressing
a mild-looking man, with white neck
cloth, who sat behind her, inquired in
voice of terror:
"What do you mean by insulting me In
this manner ?"
HIndeed Madam"
aYou needn't indeed, madam, me. You
know you did it, and you needn't deny it,
you sanctimonious old hypocrite."
@Pray excuse me, Madam but
1T won't excuse you, you reprobate.
sWhat is the matter, Madam 2" inquired
the conductor, who was attracted by Miss
Grimes indignant tones.
@Why, this old sinner has been insulting
me-
"What has he done, Madarl 7"
eHe has-welI, he has been pinching
my ank-that is, my feet"
@Madam," said the solemn-looking man,
ewhat monstrous fabrication !"
Suppose you arise for moment, sug-
gested the conductor.
ssThere, he's just done it again, scream
ed Sister Grimes.
@BIess my SOUL calculated the ac-
cused
Sister Grimes leaped from her seat to the
aisle, with FIRE in her eye, and the conduc-
tor pulled from beneath the seat large
bag, from hole in which protruded the
head of large game cock, glazing fercely
about and Iunging with his powerful beak
at whatever lay near.
"Madam," said the solemn-looking man,
s'you see, it was your own wretched bird
that has done the mischief. You have ac-
cused an innocent man Of heinous ofense,
while you, yourself, are on your way to at
tend cock-fght Thus it is that Satan

AN ANGRY JUDGE.-The late Chief
Justice Bigelow, of Massachusetts, was
naturally hot tempered, but on one occasion
was brought to his bearings in way as
effective as it was amusing He was rid
ing in car which did not stop at Quincy,
where he resided, and, as it was passing by,
he pulled the rope and the train was brought
to a sudden stop. The conductor rushed
into the car and demanded, "Who rang
that bell ?" II did," said the Chief JUS
tee. "Why?" Because 1 wanted to get
off," at which the railroad official INDUCED
in some remarks which were not compli-
mentary and hardly respectful. The
Judge afterward complained to the presi-
dent of the road, who promised to look into
the matter. But he found that, although
the conductor might have used hot Ian
guage, the Chief Justice was not without
fault and said nothing about it. When
they next met, by chance, the latter de-
manded of the president whether he had
reprimanded the conductor. II spoke to
him, was the reply. "Well, what did he
say? 'He said that he was coming up
some day to adjourn your court" The
irate magistrate saw the point and did not
pursue the investigation

the ayowed purpose Of protecting it from

considerable talk in certain quarters, and
inquiries are being made as to what
grounds there are for thinking an attack by
the Socialists imminent if At all probable.

says:

might occur to render such thing likely.
We have over 800 stand Of arms there which
have been unprotected at night. 1t would
have been comparatively an easy mattet
for any one so disposed to 90 in and get
them. Should the Socialists resolve to make
an outbreak for any cause, they would nat
urally think of raiding the armory TO secure
arms If they should do such thing, !

for rot having guarded against /: and there
would be more or less justice in the crit

should be guarded. Then there is another
view of the matter The posting ota guard
there is beneficial to the BOYS in the way OF
discipline. They need that kind of expert
tnce Tor these reasons thought the step
a wise cre. The guard is a volunteer one
and involves no expense to the State or to

Bradstreet Reports Better Movement in
Trade Circles.

New YORK, January 3.-The general
movement Of merchandise throughout the
United States, as reported by special tele-
grams to Braistreet's mas not specially i'm
proved during the week. 1t may be said in
detail of dry goods which tended downward
all through 1854 until 1852 that they, on
the whole, ale higher and frmcr than a
month ago, with better feeling. The ad-
vances recorded in cotton goods are sustain
ed. Housekeeping linens have advanced
10 per cent in foreign markets. Iron may
yet 90 lower (pig) as coal is cheaper 10
Eastern furnaces but definite statements on
this point are difficult to obtain. The
money market at most centres is stronger,
owing to the improved demand for funds to
make annual settlements.
Cotton is steady, with future prices de-
pending much upon the movement of sup
plies from this date. Special kilograms
from many Southern towns report the
amount OF cotton remaining unmarketed
very light comparatively, aud indications as
pointing to lcssened receipts. The wool
trade has been fairly active for the season
and movements of buy indicate increased
confidence There has been 10 material
change in value.
The anthracite coal market has brought
lower prices for coal in large quantities, the
late reduction of 7jc per ton for steam
sizes having been increased to SlCG l2j per
ton to pig iron and other makes. Read
ing's unexpectedly ready acqUieSenCe in the
lowest rate which it announced as accept
able, points 10 the pressure eyertei by the un-
looked for reduction Of prices made by other
companies for season delivery. Petroleum
has been dull and steady.
