Sru"Es-The stock market took ar
other turn in n downward direction to-
day, being weak almost from the opening
to tho close. The market continues in a
very unsatisfactory condition, everything
seemingly depending upon what the legis-
latlOn at Washington may develop rs to
the special disturbances, while opiriOn in
Wall street Is that the Northwestern rail
road war IS not likely 20 last much longer.
II was made the means of
the decline to-day. The market
opened very weak at declines from
last evenings closing prices, and further
losses were sustained. Outside OF Read
ing and Louisville and Nashville there was
no feature at all. Extreme dullness mark
cd the dealings and the business done
showed a continuous decrease until toward
the last hour, when there was more ami.
nation ANA the decline was renewed with
force and extended TO several stocks which
had been ]s.aguant throughout the day.

The Homes of the Hindoos.

The Hindoos are not without taste in
their dwellings. They build the front
very light and airy, and with some orna-
mentation, and this part is for the hus-
band; the wife has her apartments in the
rear Of the house, and the windows are
only holes placed high up near the ceiling,
just hike many of the little ventilators we
see in this country. There the wife has
TO remain in seni-darkness. Some may
speak of the modern improvements made
in the houses, the introduction of gas and
water, but these improvements are only
a cause of more trouble for the women
prisoners. Formerly the wife could go
90 the well to draw water and have, for a
half hour, little gossip with her friends.
bat she is deprived Of all this now; also
when she wanted light she could go TO
n neighbor for red coal. but has now
lost those sole little CLEANS of happiness
in her life She is not allowed to read,
because if seen with book or paper or
pencil there is a superstition that her hus-
band might die, and she knows well what
the sorrow is Of being idow.-Ilome

PHIL SHERIDAN'S DASH.
HIS PERSONAL APPEARANCE DURING
THE EARLY DAYS OF THE WAR.

LD,t Under IIalleck. Buell. and Ro~ecran,
in the west-A Gagged Tiger-Ths Yer,
Incarnation Of Battle-The Northern
stonewall Jackson.
Gen. Phil Sheridan always had about
him more Of the dash, more of the mag
netism Of general than any of the Others
who in the end came out the great leaders
of the war For the first three years OF
the struggle he occupied subordinate posi-
tons. and his transition from captain
and quartermaster to one OF the three
most prominent leaders of the war was
even greater than that of Gen. Grant, from
colonel of volunteers TO general in chief.
As a division commander in the west
Sheridan was never heard of; but he seems
to have attracted the attention of Grant,
for it was Grant who called him from the
