THE G RDLE OF FRIENDSHIP.

She gathered at her slender waist
The beauteuuS rOheS she wore
Its folds golden belt embraced,
One rose-hued gem it bore.
The girdle shrank its leSsening round
Still kept the shining gem.
But now her flowing locks il bound,
A lustrous diadem.
And narrower still the circlet grew
Behold glittering band.
It's rOSeate diamond set anew.
Her neck 5 white column spanncd.
Suns rise and set the straining clasp
The shortening links resist.
Yet flashes in bracelets grasp
The diamond on her wrist.
At length the round of changes past
The thieving ears could bring,
The jewel glittering to the last,
Still sparkles in ring.
So link by link. our friendships part,
So loosen, break, and fall,
a narrowing zone; the loving heart
Lives changeleSs through them all

vigorous and Combined Attack Upon
the Stock Market-Tho Trouble BE-
tween the baltimore and Ohio and

New YORK, Aug. IA recently formed
bear clique began operations in earnest in
the stock market to-day. The principal
point Of attack was the trunk lines and the
most was made Of the trouble between the
Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania
railroads, great stress being laid upon the
cut in passenger rates by the former These
and Vanderbilts were theprincipal sufferers
by to days raid, the Graugers sympathizing
to n certain extent while the coal stocks
displayed considerable nrmnoss. Money
ruled comparatively easy throughout the
day until after delivery hour when the
price was run up to 20, In which neighbor-
hood there were more transactions than on
any previous day in which there was such
manipulation. At the same time vigo.
rous and combined attack was made upon
the stock market and the entire list
yielded rapidly, the market closing weak
at the lowest figures reached.
The operations by the bears to-day ex-
hibited more system than has been noticed
for long time, and the clique was aided
materially by the room traders, who are
generally bearlsh at present.
Money on call is tight, ranging from 5 to
90 lost loan at 10, and closing at 15 TO 20.

AN AVALANCHE OF PEAT.
Loss OF Life and Great Destruction of
Property.

Property.
Secretary Bayard has received dispatch
from the United States consul at Port
Stanley, Falkland islands, giving an &c.
count Of a slide Of peat which occurred on
the night Of June 2, causing loss Of life and
great destruction OF property.
Extending the entire length OF the south
shore OF the harbor aud at q slight elevation
is peat-bog from which the laborng popu-
lation cut their fuel. There are no chan
nels which drain the bog and large quanti-
ties Of water collect there during the long
rains, which at certain seasons last for days
at a time. For three days previous to the
disaster a rain storm had prevailed. About
s O'Clock in the evening the bog began to
quake and finally with noise like thunder
II broke loose, rushing down upon the
town, carrying everything In Its course,
blocking up the streets and piliDg up the
peat In places to the height Of six or eight
feet. Solid stone walls were rent asunder,
fences, porches, iron lampposts torn away,
turned up boate, houses, all swept away
before its march.
The bewildered and terrified population
believed their town was being destroyed by
an earthquake, and added their piercing
yells and cries for help to the indescrlbable
horrors Of the night. The avalanche lasted
only an hour, but its path was one of great
devastation. A mass Of scattered peat,
amounting to no less than $4,000 tons, lay
over the town. A boy OF z and an old
man named Patrick Heating were lost. The
body Of the latter has not yet been ex-
humed.
At the date Of the dispatch, fourteen days
after the slide, the people living near the
inundated parts were fearing another disas-
ter, ana were constantly on the alert.
The consul shared their apprehenslons To
some extent, as the winter season, when
heavy SHOWS and rains prevail, was at hand.
The citizens Of the port had collected f20O
for the relief of the principal sufferers.

MARRIED LADIES.
Shall They Combine Their Names with
Their Husbands' surnnmes?

Shall They Combine Their Names with
Their Husbands' surnames?
1t lsbecoming the fashion among married
ladies In London to keep their maiden name
in addition to their husbands surname.
This practice has long been in vogue among
actresses and other ladies who have made
q reputation for themselves before mar
riage, the benefit Of which they are unwilling
to lose. The names of Mesdames Gold
schmidt-Lind, Trebelli-Bettini, Lemmens-
Sherrington, and hosts of Others will readily
occur to every one as cases In point.
But until lately the fashion was confined
In England to actresses, singers, authoresses,
and other ladies whose loss at marriage
through the change OF name would have been
so substantial a pecuniary one that IL might
be estimated In thousands Of pounds. 1t
is only now that ladies In private life have
begun to realize the fact that their own loss
In changing their name, and thus, to great
extent, losing their Identity, is quite as real
and quite as important to themselves as the
actress would be to her, although possibly
no one would 60 80 far as to say It had a
monetary value. The loss Of many old
friends as well as OF possible bonds Of sym
pathy between herself and new acquantances
Is the common result, to bride, OF the total
suppression Of the name by which she has
hitherto been known. VINO i6 TO recognize
the bosom friend OF her schooldays, her
adored Araminta Cleveland or Belinda More
vile, under the prosaic disguise Of "Mrs.
Smith" or "Mrs. Jones9n One might be on
the same steamer with her or staying at the
same hotel and be none the wiser. One
might live next door to her for years In
London, seeing her name constantly In the
Blue Book or Court Guides, and yet never
recognize her as the playmate OF one's
childish days. More painful still, she might
possibly, should she die rich and childish
widow, wish to leave something handsome
to her old school-fellow In default Of other
heirs, but, her cid friend having taken TO
herself the name OF Mrs. Brown, and thereby
made the disguise doubly complete, both 20
down TO their graves deprived of the friend
ship which might have solaced their declin-
ing years, the survivor being also deprived
OF the 50 but nevertheless real consolation
OF being the others reslduary legatee.-
