Pledging them is termed "hypotheca-

sued, bearing satisfactory power Of at
torney on the back or appended, and
transferred agreeably to the laws of
the Exchange. A "bad delivery" is
the opposite, and involves the right OF
appeal to the Committee on Securities,
and thence to the governors. differ
ences" are money balances paid where
stock is not ansferrcd-which seldom
happens. To lend fiat" means with
out interest. To "water" stock is TO
increase its quantity and impair its
quality. To ''pass u dividend" is not
to pay it. There are other slang
phrases used in connection with the
business OF stock privileges, which is
not recognized" by or done publicly
st the Exchange. Privileges to receive
or to deliver securities are bought and
sold outside the institution. Russell
Sage is the king operator in these pc
culiar transactions. Stock privileges
are puts" and "calls," or combina-
tions of both. A put" is the privilege
OF putting or selling to the one who
sells it certain quantity of u specified
stock at designated price within q
fixed time. A ''call'' is the privilege
of calling for or buying certain stock
at specified price within given
time. The seller of the put must be
ready to buy, and of the call to sell,
whenever called upon. A ..straddle''
is the option of either buying or SELL
ing; it combines the put and call in
one, and differs from the spread in
that the market price at the time of
purchase is filled into the latter. while
in the ''straddle' the price may vary
from that of the market, by agreement
or otherwise. The cost of stock privi-
leges varies with the length of time
they have to run, the difference be-
tween the prices named in them from
those current on the day the privileges
are sold, the activity OF the market,
and other conditions, and is from one
per cent to three per cent. of the
amount involved. Experts affirm that
they have q duplex character-that of
policies of insurance and that of tick
cts in lottery. In exceptional cases
only are they means of profit to any
but those who issue them. Even the
latter-with the exception of the
shrewd operator now so CONSPICUOUS in
the business. and possibly not even of
him-are likely to come to grief, as the
large majority of their predecessors
have done. The gain of the holder is
dependent, first, on favorable turns in
the market, and next, on his ability
and promptness in utilizing them.
Keen intellect, provision, nerve, watch,
fulness, and tigerish spring at oppor-
tunity must unite to prevent the loss
Of what is invested in them. Don't"
is the best advice to those who seek
advice about fooling with them. .-R.

Chronic Catarrh.

c. w. Mellier, of 400 South Fourth
street, st. Louis, is twenty years of age,
and has been a sufferer from chronic
catarrh, which had become quite often
sive. When he came to DR.. Hartman, two
months ago, he was told it would take six
months to cure him. But he has pro-
gressed beyond all expectations, and
nearly all signs of the disease have dis
appeared. Before being treated he could
not breathe out of the nose, and now he
has perfect control of the nasal organ.
PERUNA did the business.
James Dunn, of 1870 Gay street, St.
Louis, has suffered from catarrh since
1870. The gentleman told the reporter
the following straightforward story of
his case. I took the disease in Mem
phis. 1t commenced in my head and
extended to my throat, and bad cough
followed. l went to number of ply.
sicians, and they told me my trouble was
liver disease, and one said it was palpita-
ton of the heart that caused the cough.
For the last year have been practically
worthless. could not ascend fight of
stairs without suffering from shortness of
breath and fast beating of the heart, and
my appetite was very defective. After
eating often coughed SO hard that I
would throw up everything in my stom-
ach. could not walk any distance with
out painting. Five weeks ago 1 went
under the care of DIR. Hartman. and now
my cough has disappeared and feel like
a new man., PERUNA was his treat
ment.
Next came George Sauerbaum, residing
at 1929 Carr street, st. Louis, who is an
old patient of DR.. Hartman. He stated
that he had suffered most intensely from
chronic catarrh of the head and lungs, but
is now almost cured, his lungs being en-
tirely well and his head greatly improved.
The gratitude of this gentleman was
almost boundless, and he expressed it to
the reporter in the strongest terms, say
ing PERUNA will cure any disease"

Lassoing a Bride.

North of Lander, Wyo., $50 miles
lies the cattle country of the Big Horn
Basin. On Owl Creek few settlers
have gathered in and formed the nu-
cleus of what in the next few years
will bcla large and prosperous farming
community, but as yet it is only the
nucleus, and the sway of the cowboy is
regnant. Intelligence has just been re-
ceived of the first wedding of the Sec
ton. big Charley''has welded ..Meet-
utse Nance" a native sage-brush belle.
The bride and groom came seventy
hive miles. on horseback to the Squire's,
the former sitting her broncho as firm
~ and squarely as big Charley" and
IN exactly the same fashion. When
within few miles of the Squire's they
met that functionary surrounded hy
some half dozen cowboys, and now
the fair bride turned restive and de-
clared that she did not propose to mar
ry 'any man on earth" But the boy
were equal to the occasion, and so was
the Justice and the groom. At a short
distance stood an empty corral.
'sTake her over to the corral, boys,
and put her in" said his Honor.
'Meetutse Nance" made wild
break for the hills as she heard the or
der, but the days of her freedom were
about over. She was quickly run
down, and amid volley of feminine
sage-brush eloquence the delighted
boys started her on the lope for the
corral. Reaching there Nance jumped
from her ''bronk" and tried to gain
some adjacent brush, but it was no 90.
However, she fought vigorously, and
his Honor ordered, ''Hobble her boys"
The boys were in ecstasies. A pair of
rawhide hobbies were stripped from
''cayuse's" neck and their twist ad-
justed about the sturdy ankles of the
struggling bride. She was conveyed
into the corral, and his Honor, mount
ing the fence, bade the groom take his
place at her side and ''catch on" to her
hand.
This done, his Honor assumed the
look of dignified Importance called for
by the occasion and said, ".Big Char
ley and .Meetutse Nance, you came
into this corral single. 1 now pro-
noah0S you couPic' Dig Cnarley,
your wife,"
But this big Charley" found it diff
ficult to do, and it was not until one of
the cowboys had gently cast his lariat
over the new-made wife that the hus-
band was able to turn the lady loose.
Then the Justice called his boys to.
gether, and, saying, Come on, boys;
we hain't no business here now,n led
Them away. One of the boys looked
back, and the happy couple were busy
lnpacking their camping outfit, and
the honeymoon had evidently begun.

The Beaeflt. ortho Civil War.

From General Grants account of the
Chattanooga campaign which is pub
lished ia the November CeatUrg, and
is accompanied by explanatory maps,
We take tho following: There was
no time during the rebellion when I
did not think. and often say, that the
South was more to be benefited by de-
feat than the North. The latter had
the people, the institutions, and the
territory to make a great and prosper
Gus nation. The former was burdened
with an institution abhorrent to all
civilized peoples not brought up under
it. and one which degraded labor, kept
it in Ignorance, and enervated The gov
erning class. With the outside world
at war with this institution, they could
not have extended their territory. The
labor of the country was not skilled,
nor allowed to become so. The whites
could not toll without becoming de-
graded, and those who did were de-
nominated poor white trash. The
system of labor would have soon ex-
hausted the soil and left the people
poor. The non-siayeholders would
have loft the country, and the small
STAKEHOLDER must have sold out to his
more fortunate neighbors Soon the
slaves would have outnumbered the
masters, and not being in sympathy
with them, would have risen in their
might and cxterminated them. The
war was expensive to the South us we'll
as to the North, both in blood and
treasure; but it was worth all it cost"

A Rare China Plate.

In the possession of Mr.. William NV
ers, of Washington avenue, Albany,
N. T., is stone china plate of great
antiquity. Mr.. Myers is now man
of some 60 years, and the plate was the
property of his grandmother. The de-
sign is unique. The edge is scalloped.
A dark, narrow band follows the line
OF the edge, and inclosed within this
circle of fifteen white scrolls is seen,
each scroll bearing the name of one of
the states of the union. In the field of
blue black stars are set. Wreathed
within the scrolls, a group of rosebuds
and apple blossoms appear. These
flowers rest against background of
black. In the center Of the plate is
pictured colonial mansion set upon
gentle sloping bill. A half-score of sheep
browse in the foreground, while near
by stand maiden and youth dress
ed in the fashion of the day. To the
right and back of the house is a small
grove. Fleecy clouds float in the dist
ance. but overhead appears the serene
blue sky. framing this landscape is a
circle formed of conventionalized ferns,
bound together by four rings. On
both sides of this framework are stat
ues, surmounting pedestals. A figure
on the right represents Justice holding
aloft with her right hand portrait Of
Washington, while she leans with her
left upon the framework of the land
scape. Upon her robe are embroider-
ed Monte emblems-the compasses
and rule. Liberty adorns the other
side of the framework. She kneels
upon pedestal similar to the one on
the right, and is represented as crown
ed with helmet and plumes. In her
left hand she grasps a staff topped
with the symbolical cap. Resting amid
the foliage supporting the pedestals
fruit group is represented. Upon the
faces Of the pedestals is inscribed
Liberty and Independence" The
plate bears mark showing that it was
made in Staffordshire. The age Of the
plate is attested by the network of
minute scratches which covers its face.
The plate originally came from the old
homestead Of the family in Schoharis
county. Albany Egpress.
