NEW YORK, March 1S.-Goyernments are
strong and dull, except for per cents which
are quoted u per cent lower.
In railroad bonds there was only moderate
business. Some more active issues show further
Declines
State Sccurities-Somewhat more active.
Stocks-The stock market was irregular and
at times quite feverish, and was decidedly more
active than for several days past, the weakest
spots in the market being Pacific Mail and Union
Pacific, which declined heavily on reports of the
threatened trouble between the two companies
1t was reported this morning that the Union
Pacific had given official notice to the Pacific
Mall of the discontinuance of the contract by
winch the former receives a monthly subsidy
from Pacific railroads of $685. 0u. According to
the terms OF the contract it can be terminated
only on six months notice, except by mutual
consent. Central Pacific is charged with divert
ing business over the Sunset route, and the
present troubles are thought to grow out of the
disagreement between Pacific railroads fully as
much or more than out of any misunderstanding
between the Pacific Mail steamship line and
Union Pacific. Pacific Mail was highest at the
opening, when it sold at COZ and closed at 5724,
loss OF 22S per cent, with sales of 39,480
shares. Union Pacific was feverish all day and
showed net decline of z per cent, with sales
OF $3.50 shares. No doubt the short interest in
these two stocks was largely increased to-day, but
there was also considerable realizing by old bulls
ID Pacific Mail. Central Pacific was also weak
on light dealing, declining l d per cent. The
break in the market to-day brought in fresh
buyers. and the bulls and bears are rejoicing
over the increase of business promised. The
leading bulls express the belief that the market
may sell somewhat lower, but that the decline
will be followed by decided reaction at an early
day. The Gould party say Mr.. Gould is now in
Charleston and is expected here this week
They claim the bull campaign will be startled
soon after his return. The Chicago, ST. Paul,
Minneapolis s. Omaha road declared its quarterly
dividend of IA per cent. on preferred stock.
After the next quarterly dividend declaration the
dividends will be made sem-annually.
The transactions amounted to 253, 639 shares:
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western 10000,
Lake Shore 1900. Chicago i Northwestern
u 200, New York Central $1,000, Pacific Mail
$4,000, Chicago, Milwaukee s. St. Paul 10000,
Union Pacific $4,000, Western Union Telegraph
$4,000.

Stolen Sweets; or. Kissing Shadows.

From the Gainesville (Ga.) American.
was coming up from Cedartown, on the
East and West one afternoon not long since.
In the rear of the coach saw young couple
who seemed to be very deeply interested in
each other. The young lady was well dressed
and had nice manners. Her eyes were
bright, her cheeks rosy and her lips vermil-
ion. The young couple appeared to be
much pleased with each other and, in spite
of their surroundings, were INDUCING in soft
speeches and melting chances. After
awhile the young man suggested that they 90
out on the rear end Of the coach aud enjoy
the beautiful scenery. The afternoon was
bright and the sun was shining across from
the West in genial way, casting long shad-
ows toward the East The train sped along
through fields, over bridges and around
curves, and in my admiration Of the fine
farms to be seen from my window l had al
most forgotten the young couple on the
coach. The train was gliding through
an open field when my eyes fell
on the shadows Of the young
couple reflected against the embankment on
the side Of the coach where was sitting. /
could distinctly see the outlines Of their fig
ures and the profles of their faces-even the
motion Of the young mans lips and the
shadow of the young lady's eyelashes could
be seen. 1t was amusing to look at aud l
called the attention Of my neighboi on the
next seat to It. Soon almost every one in
the car was watching the shadows. The
Young man seemed to be very earnest and
the Young lady very attentive. Gently, and
as II bv accident, the shadow Of the young
mans arm glided around the shadow of the
Young ladys waist, and the shadow Of the
Young mans lips was seen to quicker" aud
dive at the space between the shadow Of the
Young lady's chin and nose. The passengers
in the train became deeply interested, and
az the shadows would meet time after time q
litter would run up and down the line inside
the car. ''Dippin' sugar." said one old fell
low down in the corner. It seemed that
could almost see the sparks Of electricity fly
out Of the shadows on the bank as the lips
came together.
About the time the whistle blew for town
the Young couple came in looking harmless
and innocent-like and the young lady re-
marked, Wasn't the scenery just too Ioyely?''
''S1eet would have been better word,' said
the old fellow In the corner in quiet under
tone, and everybody laughed Ike he had said
something funny.
