PUGILISM VS.. HOUSEKEEPING.

In the current number of the "Angli-
can Church Chronicle" is an article on
"PugiIism," in Which the editor says
eve are sorry our own papers, generally
so clean, have soiled their pages with
the relation of the fight which took place
of late in France between the American
and English pugilists. Beautiful Lenten
reading for our young people,
We might turn round and say we are
sorry the anglican" soiled its pages a
short time ago with description OF the
great Derby horserace, in which several
OF the horses were badly spurred and
whipped by the jockeys. Beautiful
reading that for our young people.
When the sailing vessel arrived with
the news of the recent prize fight, there
were only two papers containing the par
ticulars. Many persons, including
church members, came to this office to
ask if we would publish a description of
the prize fight at length. We ac-
coded to their request and published
over a column, other papers doing the
same. There is no more harm in pub
fishing an account of a prize fight in a
daily paper than there is in publishing
particulars of a horserace in d Oh rch

In Austria the policy of fostering tire
the sugar industry by bounties has
reached such pass that more is actually
paid away in bounties on the export of
sugar than is raised by the tax on sugar
itself. That is, the consumer of sugar in
Austria is taxed, and the whole pro-
ceeds of the tax are applied not to the
administration of the country or to its
defense, but to the cheapening of sugar
for the English consumer.

GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
Ekw YORK, May 1.-The stock market
to- day WAS very dull except during the
fist hour, and while the general drift OF
prices was upward in the forenoon they
reacted later in the day. Trading was
more unlnteresting than on any dsv dur
ing the past month, and outside of few
shares there was no movement
of any kind. London figures came
higher this morning, and this market re =
sponded to limited ex'ent, the first
prices being from to / per cent. above
those of the close on Saturday, but there
WAS very little doing outside of Reading,
end Richmond and West Point, the
former being active and strorg
on rumor that arrangements
had been made for the placing of new As
in London during the current week, and
the latter was siced by the contest for
control at the coming election, and dis.
played more strength than any other
stock on the list; but the traders made .
demonstration against the lists, and
most of the advance in these
stocks was lost afterwards. The sn-
nual election of the Stock EX-
change had something to do with the gen.
eral apathy, though the interest WAS not
became extremely dull and somewhat
feverish, with general heavy tone, and
except in Richmond and West Point
prices Yielded slowly throughout most Of
the time. Comparatively small offerings
OF bonds to the government were given
as pretext for this movement, but it did
not re CHI very large proportions. St.
Paul WAS the only stock showing marked
movement. In the afternoon the decline
al one time wss &c, but toward 2 p. m.
the market took slight turn. The clos
ing prices show changes about equally
divided between fractional gains and
losses, the oRly important change in the
active list being an advance Of 4c on
Richmond and West Point.
Railway bonds were in better demand
at advancing prices. This tone con-
tinued throughout the day and the final
changes are almost invariably in the
direction of higher prices. Houston and
Texas frsts rose a to Hi.
Government bonds were quiet bat
strong.

VALLEY VIEW, TEX, May "a, 1883.
To the Editor Of the Gazette.
Valley View is situated right in the
heart of the wheat region, and is becon
ing one of the most important shippins
points for grain in North Texas, as IL
shown by the Santa Fe's books here
Not less than $4,000 bushels OF whea,
have been bought and shipped here dur
ing the past season. There Is no better
point in North Texas for q mill and
elevator.
The Alliance are preparing to erect at
once q large grain and ware house
st the depot, to furnish add.
tional accommodation for the order.
1t is estimated that, with sufficient accom-
modations, not less thin 100, 900 bushels
Of wheat will be handled at this station
during the coming season.
The closing exercises Of Valley View
academy have been the event of the past
week. The examinations occupied four
days, the results showing marked pro-
nciencY on the part Of the pupils. On
Friday evening most enjoyable enter
tainment was given at the school build
ing. The exercises consisted Of well
selected rlsys, recitations, songs, etc
interspersed with choice music on the
piano by the pupils Of the music depart
ment. The entertainment was witnessed
BY at least 500 people. The principal, J.
N. London, ana his assistants, have done
. good work for Valley View and vicinity
during the past nine months. Our peo-
pie are now all thoroughly aroused on
the question Of education and will hence
forth leave no stone unturned to make
Valley View second to none Of its size as
An educational point.
