New YoRK, Sept. 21.-The stock market
to-day exhibited much less activity than

some excitement, but there was consdera-
bic pressure to sell and the expected reaction

arbitrage account, prices here being above
those in London. There was an advance

An eX-member Of the Cabinet tells a story,
recited by Senator Sumner, as an example
Of President Lincoln's perfect good nature.
Sumner called at the executive mansion
few days before Lincoln's second Inaugural
ton and informed him that he was resolved
to defeat his favorite measure In the Senate
concerning Louisiana, because II involved q
vicious principle. The President amiably re-
piled that Sumner could not execute his
threat, since there was clear majority of
the Senate in favor of the bill. "But It will
be defeated, nevertheless" asserted the
Republican leader. Accordingly, on the
last night of the session OF Congress, he
appeared at his desk 18th huge pile OF law
books, and as he had the floor began to
speak. After he had been going on for an
hour and a half he was asked how long he
would continue, and he replied that he did
not think he could finish his argument In
less than six hours. Consequently, the
session came to an end before Summers
speech, and no vote could be taken. He
imagined that the President would resent
his course, and was greatly surprised when
he received, the next morning, q note from
him asking him to accompany
Mrs. Lincoln to the inaugural ceremony
and the ball the same evening. No wonder
Summer was surprised. lie would never
have forgiven such an offense himself, but
Lincoln was the embodiment OF magnan
unity.

She Thought 1t a Beer Saloon.

sergt. Amiss was telling good yarn last
night at police headquarters, and pausing
moment to turn his head a slight cough was
heard, followed by feeble rap on the front
door.
"Come In" said the sergeant. A rust
ling sound was the only reply.
"Come In" said the sergeant again, in n
louder voice.
This brought in gayly. decorated colored
girl, with springy step. That she was In
the wrong box was plainly dlscernible. A
5-cent handkerchief worked backwards and
forwards from her side to her mouth us IL
there was something In her mouth that she
wanted kept In.
''What can 1 do for you ?" asked the SER
geant.
The woman's eyes grew big as saucers
and worked In all directions In their sock
cts.
"Oh-I," hesitatlngly said tho woman,
"thought that this was beer saloon,n and
she made bolt for the door.

A Plant to Suppress Malaria

DR.. Brandes, a physician at Hitzackes
Hanover, has written an article in German
medical paper, in which he demonstrates
the valuable properties of the anacharls
alsinastrum, water plant which has
hitherto been considered as an unmitigated
plague, choking up rivers, and altogether
useless. DR.. Brandes has remarked that IN
the district where he lives, and where
malaria and diarrhea yearly appeared in
sporadic or epidemic form, these diseases
have gradually decreased since the anach-
arts alsinastrum began to infest the neigh
boring rivers and marshes, and since four
years have totally disappeared. The above
named water plant nourishes itself on de-
cayed vegetable matter, and grows with in
credible rapidity. 1t thus destroys the
germs which produce malaria and diarrhea,
and, besides, its presence obliges the
frequent cleansing of standing waters-a
measure beneficial to health. DR.. Brandes
therefore proposes that the experiment
should be tried Of planting the anarcharis
alsinastrum in marshy districts. 1t is also
useful In protecting the young fish and
affords an excellent dung. The plant came
originally from Canada, whence IL was
brought to England, and thence to Germany
about 1s40. In North Germany II rapidly
spread far and wide and this year appears
in all parts in unusual luxuriance.-L0

1LL-FEELING ENGENDERED
by the Changes Being Made at Co
lumbia Buildings.

lumbia Buildings.
Considerable ill-feeling has been engen-
dered among some Of the District officials
OF the Four and.a half street building In
consequence of certain transfers Of officers
from one room to another proposed by the
engineer commissioner for the better &C
commodatlon, II is alleged, of the officers
Of his department.
Capt. Burrows, who has charge OF the
workmen Of the District, and who occupies
rooms on the fourth floor OF the building,
complains that he has not room to properly
transact the business for which he Is re-
sponsible. During the absence OF Commits
sioner Webb last week orders were given to
the license board to move into room 1G,
formerly occupied by the old fire depart
ment board. Captain Burrows was directed
to take possession Of room 81 to be vacated
by the license board; the latter, however,
objected to this as 1t was proposed that the
coupon division OF the District auditors
Office, which has been domiclled In room 16
Of late should share II with the board,
which claims the necessity OF as much
secrecy In passing upon the applications for
liquor licenses as do the commissioners
themselves. The auditor also objected to
this arrangement as IL would crowd that d.
vision Of his department into too close quar-
tiers to properly transact business. Maj.
Jones, OF the license board, and Auditor
Tichenor both appealed to Commissioner
Wheatley to oppose the proposed transfer
Mr.. Wheatley finally agreed TO grant q
"stay OF proceedings" until the return OF
Commissioner Webb. 1t would not be sur.
prising, however, IL the matter resulted in
the license board being crowded out alto
gether, in fact abolished as a board. Com
missioner Wheatley is thought to be hos
tile to the idea of the necessity OF license
sympathy with him In that respect.
Mai. Ludlow, 1t is said, is Indifferent as
to the necessity Of license board. 1t Is
In his way, as II occupies room that he
covets for the use Of his department.
