Why Gen. Hancock Died Poor.

A New York letter says: Surprise is
expressed that Gen. Hancock did not
leave a larger estate behind him. but he
was ger us to a fault, and he had
many calls upon his charity. It was the
heavy cross of his life. that his twin
brother, for thirty years resident of a
distant Western city, had disappointed
his expectations, lost his ambition and
sunk into a living death His brother
was a lawyer, one of the most brilliant
in the Northwest, clearing from AS, 600
to $40, 900 q year by his practice, when
he fell a victim to his love for good
company and good cheer. He went
down from his high position like a
rocket. and for the last fifteen years has
been entirely supported by his brother,
the General. There is a touching little
bit of romance connected with this sad
story. The lawyer was in his prime, a
magniticent-looking man, and became
engaged to the beautiful daughter of a
lady in whose house he boarded. The
engagement began twenty-five years
ago. But the lady saw danger ahead,
and she refused to marry her ardent and
handsome wooer until he would for
swear the flowing bowl and show him
self a thoroughly reformed man. He
still lives in the same house, and the
lady is there, too, and still unwedded.
She is true to her love, but is equally
true to her promise, and while she ten
derby cares for the man she loves and
mourns, she knows that her life is
wrecked, and that there is no hope now
on this side of the grave, The world is
fun of such unnoticed heroines.

MIR. PHILIP d. ARMOUR, the great

parson, who afterward returned it with
a note saying that he had ''discovered

PRISONERS in the Benton, Mo-, Jail
the other night thought that they had
n good chance to escape. They sprung

he came down, pried open an outer
door, and was free. The plan was for
him to get tools, and come back and
liberate his fellows. But the night was
so intensely cold that it was not long
before Rine was back without the tools,
begging the jailer to put him in his
cell before he froze to death.

that she can go through the snow for
some miles on foot. She has smoked

The Best way to Get Ria of Bugs and
CaterpilIars.

The regular monthly meeting Of the Hor-
ticultural Society was held last night at
German Hall, John Saul presiding. On
account Of the sickness Of Mr.. William J.
Cogan, the secretary, j. I. @. Clark acted
in his stead. The fret subject discussed
was the beet means Of destroying the cater
pillars. Burning sulphur under the trees
was recommended by one member, but
Others thought that while sulphur would
certainly kill the caterpillars, it would also
kill the trees. Another means suggested
OF killing them was spraying the trees with
solution made Of Paris green or London
purple. This remedy seemed to meet with
most favor with the members Of the society
present.
How to rid the rose bushes Of the bugs
that infest and destroy them was the next
subject considered. Washing the bushes
In strong suds made from whale oil soap
was suggested as good remedy. Also
suds from old-fashioned soft soap was said
to be very efiicacious. But the remedy
that was most recommended was q decoc-
tion made by boiling tobacco stems In
water and washing the bushes with IT, Prof.
Saunders exhibited some very handsome
roses and also a.variety OF beautiful phlox.
Mr.. John Saul exhibited some beautiful
specimens OF Japanese lilum auratum

Mr.. Edward Spencer Pratt, whose ap-
polntment as minister resident and consul
general to Persia was yesterday sent into
the Senate, is native Of Alabama, and was
born o few miles from Mobile, and almost
within sight OF the Gulf Of Mexico. His
father was the late William II. Pratt, the
well-known southern banker and financier,
who was so signally instrumental in pre-
venting the state of Alabama from adopting
policy Of reputation. Mr.. Spencer Pratt
is now In HIS 35th year, which will doubtless
make him the youngest minister In the SER
vice. The greater part Of his life has been
spent in study and travel. He was taken
to Europe when not quite four years OF age,
and there educated In the most liberal
manner, principally in France, where
his older brother was decorated with the
Cross Of the Legion Of Honor for valiant
services rendered to the French wounded
during the late Franco-Prussian war.
Mr.. Spencer Pratt is a scientist, and
holds the degree Of doctor In medicine and
surgery. Since his return TO this country
he has devoted himself to the development
OF commerce, and Of the internal resources
Of the south, and frequently contributed TO
the press on these subjects. At the
late Worlds Exposition at New Orleans
he first represented his state officially as
commissioner, and there did valuable
work. He is devoted student OF oriental
ism, and thoroughly conversant with east
ern affairs.

THE MARKETS..
More Animation Than Usual In the
Trading In Stocks.

Trading In Stocks.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-The trading to-day
was marked by more animation than for
some days previous, and larger blocks Of
stocks changed hands. The Pennsylvania
statement for June showed such an unex-
pectedly favorable state of affairs that the
street readily accepted IL as an index TO the
business Of the other trunk lines, and dis
position to buy them was manifested early
In the day, and those stocks soon became
again the feature Of the market, New York
Central receiving the chief attention. AL
though no confirmation Of the Lake Shore
bond sale was received, 1t is generally
thought that important negotiations favor
able to the company are in progress.
In the early trading the unfavorable crop
news and the passage OF the forfeiture bill
by the House at Washington created an un-
settled and rather heavy market, but the
buying Of the trunk lines soon rallied the
list, and prices continued to advance, with
only slight reactions throughout the day,
and the market finally closed strong at
about the best figures reached.
Money on call is easy, ranging from to
21, last loan at 81, and closing at 2 to 81.
Sterling exchange is dull at unchanged
quotations; actual business, 1851 to 1859 for
sixty.day bills and 4S7 TO 1871 for demand;

THE LEGISLATIVE BILL
Has Passed Both Houses and Has BE,

Has Passed Both Houses and Has Been
Sent to the President for Approval.
The conferees upon the legislative bill
have reached solution Of their differences
and the bill has passed both houses. There
were but two points at issue after the recess
sion Of the House from its opposition 10 the
provision for senator's secretaries. The
Senate conferees esrecommended that the SEN
ate consent to the dropping Of the provi--
sion OF $4,000 to meet the expenses Of
gathering marriage statistics. A compro-
mise was reached with respect to the Senate
amendment increasing by $l50,000 the ap-
preparation for the internal revenue service,
both sides asserting TO an increase Of $70,-
600. This leaves the appropriation for the
internal revenue service $1,970,000. The
total appropriation made by the bill is $20,-
654, ,346, which is $S6, 900 leqs than the ap-
preparation contained In the bill as II passed
the Senate and S722, 900 less than the appro-
priation authorized by the current law.
