Some correspondents have made in.
quirics about the water towers used by
the New York Fire Department, and the
letters show that there is much curiosity
in distant places concerning those con
trivances which enable the firemen to
extinguish flames in lofty buildings in
this city without danger. A water tower
is a large iron tube, supported on a truck
by turn table. The big end of the tube
is fastened to the table by means of a
hinge and cog wheels, which are moved
by crank. BY turning the crank two
men can elevate the tube from hon-
zontal to a vertical position. The tube
is in sections, and these sections are un-
screwed and packed on the truck except
when the tower is brought into play at
a fire. When the tower is raised in front
of a burning building the hose from two
or three fire engines can be connected
with the lower end of the tube and the
water pumped by all the engines goes
up through inc tupc "nU Ou' u piS
nozzel at the top. A wire cable enables
the firemen to raise or depress the end of
the nozzel, while the motion of the turn
table works the nozzel in another direc-
ton. The tower is used to throw large
streams of water directly into the upper
stories Of high buildings when flames in
tho lower stories prevent the fremen
from entering, or when the front walls
are too unsafe to permit the tiremen to
reach the upper windows by means Of
ladders. The New York Fire Depart
.ment has three water towers at present,
but only two Of them are kept in active
service.

A NOse.Pulling Affair.

Mr.. Adams's private secretary was his
son, John Adams, who soon made him
self very obnoxious to the friends of
General Jackson. One evening Mr.. Rus
sell Jarvis, who then edited the Wash
ington Telegraph, a newspaper which
advocated Jackson's election, attended
drawing room at the White House,
escorting his wife and party of visiting
relatives from Boston. Mr.. Jarvis in
troduced those who were with him to
Mrs. Adams who received them court
eously, and they then passed on into the
East Room. Soon afterwards they found
themselves standing opposite to Mr.. John
Adams, who was conversing with the
Rev Mr.. Stetson. 'WhO is that lady2N
asked Mr.. Stetson. "That, " replied MIR.
John Adams, in a tone so loud that the
party heard it, ''is the wife of one Rus
sell Jarvis, and if he knew how con-
temptibly he is viewed in this house
they would not be here.n The Boston
ians at once paid their respects to Mrs.
Adams and withdrew, Mr. Jarvis having
first ascertained from Mr.. Stetson that it
was Mr.. John Adams who had insulted
them. A few days afterward Mr.. Jarvis
ing an explanation by friend of his,
Mr. Mclean. Mr.. Adams told Mr.. Nc
Lean that he had no apology to make to
Mr.. Jarvis, and that he wished no cor
respondence with him.
A week latter Mr. John Adams went
to the Capitol TO deliver messages from
the President to each House of Congress.
Having delivered that addressed to the
Speaker of the House of Representatives
he was gong through the rotunda toward
the Senate Chamber when he was over
taken by Mr.. Jarvis, who pulled his nose
and slapped his face. A scuffie ensued,
but they were quickly parted by Mr..
Dorsey, Representative from Maryland.
President Adams notified Congress in
a special message Of the occurrence and
the House appointed a select committee
of investigation Witnesses were exam
ined and elaborate reports were drawn
up. but neither the majority nor the
minority recommended that any punish
ment be inflicted upon Mr. jarvis. Ben.

THEY NEVER COME BACK AGAIN

Oh, the days, the days in the dear old past,
With their kisses, their blisses and painl
My heart droops sad meath the overcast,
orthey never come back again.
Oh, my cup was brimmed with pleasures
delight,
And my sky was sunny and clear,
But the morrow's blank as l look tonight
Through the glim'ring veil of tear.
Come back, come back, dear days agone,
With your kisses, your blisses ard pain,
For my heart droops sad as wait o'erloDg
For the days that neer come again.
Swept Off on the ebbing tide afar
My barque that was light and gay;
And waited long at the harbor bar
For its sails TO return this way.
All, nevermore1l come back to me
The kisses and blisses of yore;
For see 'yond the posts Of eternity
The rain aud the shadows pour.
The sweet, sweet past, with its fond delight,
Is lost in the darkness drear,
And the morrow's blank as gaze tonight
Through the glim'ring veil of a tear.
The worlds as bright as of yester-e'en,
And hearts are light and gay,
But my souls drear as gaze on the scene,
And dream of long gone day
The pressure of lips and clasp of hands,
Like phantoms adrift in the rain,
Like spirits afar in the shadow lands
But the days they ne'er.come again.

Well Pnnctured.

For the last twelve years Otto H. Bow
man, who died at the Bridgeport Hospi-
tai Sunday has been kept alive by hypo-
dermic injectiolt ~ morphia. For the
nineteen month &e had been at the hos
pital it is estmeted that his skin had
been punctured 9, 1000 times in order TO
perform the operation, and five ounces
of sulphate of morphia was the guam
tity used. In addition to this he was
given daily two ounces Of whisky until
recently, when he was allowed a bottle
Of beer daily. Before entering the
Bridgeport Hospital he was in Bellevue,
where he was under the same treatment.
II is estimated that in the last twelve
years his skin has been puuctured 1000
times. and there WAS scarcely a spot on
his whole body where the marks of the
hypodermic needle could not be seem.

All sorts of queer trades flourish in
New York, and one Of the queerest is
the purchase and sale of current coins.
A printed list of quotations, sent out
daily by reputable iirm, gives the mar
ket value of all sorts of specie. A Vic
toria sovereign is quoted at $4.se, but an
old sovereign may be had for $40.
United States halves, quarters and dimes
are from to / per cent. under par, and
trade dollars are worth only II cents.
Mexican dollars arc divided into firsts
and seconds, and are rated at rs and 70
cents. There is a shave of 10 cents upon
Central American and South American
dollars. A New York club man to whom
one Of the circulars was sent, and who
proposed to save money by buying some
deprecated currency in which to pay his
debts, was rebuked by his associates.
~ would save $50 on every $780," he
protested. seYou will save the whole

Upon an indictment for selling or Of
fering for sale of oleomargarine un.
marked, the Supreme Court of Oregon
lately held that it was not necessary to
prove any overt act Of offering it for sale
in an unidentified condition, but that
the mere possession of it and placing it
in store with other articles held for
sale was sufficient to warrant a jury in
finding that the same was offered for
sale.

COMPENSATION,

The sun when setting in the west,
Its daily course has run;
The rising moon has only then
Its journey vast begun.
And thus, when one bowed down with
years,
Sinks gladly 20 his rest,
Another soul appears on earth
A heaven sent bequest.

The Months Business Quite Satisfactory
Staple Articles Firm-CollectiOns Easy
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug 81.
The volume Of business in the month which
closes to-day in most departments has reached
the expectations Of the early part of the month
and shows handsome increase over that of the
corresponding month 1885. and September opens
under most favorable conditions. Country mer-
chants, financially, are in better shape than at
any time for some years past, and there is a
noticed activity among country dealers looking
to the early purchase of stocks for the fall and
winter trade We have repeatedly pointed to
| merchants who draw their supplies from this
market that they lose all advantage by waiting
| until the last moment before making their
purchases, as all lines of goods have been
selling at very low margins and reac-
| ton has set in, and there is a strong
| tendency to elevate quotations, and the
| advantage will soon be with the holder
| Especially will the above remarks apply to gro
| ceries and dry goods. The New York Bulletin
says: Coffee has continued excellent support
for all grades ard it requires but short negotia-
tions to convince buyers of the necessity for
promptly making full bids The firmer indca-
| tions in the sugar market have served to quick
en- the demand somewhat for this staple but
| prices are yet low. No doubt permanent rise
! in price will come when it is least expected"
Rice is fairly active, and mo!asses and syrups
and spices strong, and tending upward In the
| local market there was no suggestion of change
| to-day except in the way of adjustment in GER
| tain lines of groceries. The weak tone of pou-
| try is still noticeable and Chicago shippers arc
| paying even lowor prices than Indianapolis ship
pers. The egg market rules higher; with cooler
weather the demand has increased. Receipts of
melons are large; demand good at low prices
! Apples are arriving literally; market dull
Irish potatoes are coming in in large quantities.
| prices are of % cents per barrel
GRAIN.

to-day than on Monday. Dealers took hold free

The unusual dulIness in the stock market
still continues Fluctuations continued within
a very narrow range and slittle interest is taken
in the market on one side or the other The
money market still continues to be the great
topic of discussion and to the uncertainty of its
future is in great measure, due the present
depression of business at the Stock Exchange.
The reduction in Sterling exchange caused
a better feeling in the afternoon,
but its effect was dissipated before
the close. Prices were lower at the
opening this morning. Declines ranged from to
per Cent, generally. Louisville Il Nashville,
however, was down per cent In the early
trading prices were weak Jersey Central and
New York and New England were conspicuous
in the decline. The weakness continued until
about noon, after which there was a slight re-
action, Hooking Valley being notably strong
but il the last hour prices receded again, and the
market closed weak, at or near the lowest figures
reached. Closing prices almost invariably show
declines although for fractional amounts only
Among the active list, Erie preferred is down J.
