ENGAGING SPECIE FOR SHIPMENT.

The common expectation that the recent buy
ing for foreign account would stimulate the Spccu-
ation in stocks today was not fulfilled. Inc
course of prices proved that, as rule, th!S
uying had been merely an arbnrage tranSac-
ton, and in spite of the extensive shipment OF
railroad bonds, a small demand for mercantile
remttances caused the engagement Of 81, 100000
specie for export This result was made con-
spicuous by the apparent strength Of the London
market up 10 the opening Of the Ncw-lo
board. 1t is not impossible OF course, that the
fresh advance in London was due to orders
received from this side Of the Atlantic. and, III
that case. the buying may have been for the
short account, for the early prices were IA small
fraction abovc the New-lOrk equivalent. 1t is
certain that the first prices at the Stock Exchange
were almost universally the highest for the day
and the favorites of the foreign markets were
no exception to the general rule. The reaction
was helped by the publication of the March earn
ings of the Union Pacific Railway, which were
much more unfavoruble than anybody had
cxpectcd. and Immediately afterward by the
announcement of gold shipments. The March
statement of the Erie Railroad was not made
known until after the close of business.
The leading stocks id not change their rcli-
tive position materially. Louisville ard Nashville
retained the first place and leading and Atkinson
followed in decorous order. Inc only o,her soocl>
in which the trrnsactICns reached 10000 shares
was Erie, which exceptionally closed a small
fraction higher The final declines were Ia IL
IL per cent on an average in spite OF Il modest
rally at the close. The variations IN either dltec-
ton were devoid Of meaning. The volume oil
business was extremely light, and the trading was
limited to the operations of professional traders
WHAT WAS DONE IN BONDS
Government bonds remained neglected, Dut the
views of holders were in favor OF higher prices
lhe offerings ~ the Treasury were above th'
official prices. Tie closing quotations were as
follows.

Patrick Henry

uttered sublime truth when he
said, ''It is natural for man to in
dulge in the illusions OF hope. We
are apt to shut our eyes against a
painful truth and listen to that song
of that siren till she transforms us
into beasts" We are apt to shut
our eyes while colds, catarrh or
consumption are getting the better
of us, hoping not, when our plain
duty is to get some remedy like the
Golden Medical Discovery of DR..
Pierce, and take it. We should not
listen to the song of the siren, but
rather heed Longiellow, who tells
us to "Act, act in the living pres
ent." That means before it is too
late. The discovery" is one of
the great successes of the age-a
safe, pleasant remedy tc take, and
can be had of all druggists 1t is
guaranteed to benefit of cure, or
money paid for it will be refunded.

ADVICE TO A BRIDE.

In the first solitary hour after the
ceremony take the bridegroom and
demand solemn vow of him, and
give him a vow in return. Promise
one another sacredly never, even in
jest, to wrangle with each other,
! whatever pretext, with whatever ex-
cuse it may be. You must continu-
ally and every moment see clearly
into each others bosom. Even
when one of you has committed a
fault. wait not an instant, but con-
Tess it freely.
And as you keep nothing secret
from each other, so, on the contrary,
preserve the privacy of your house,
married state, and heart, from faith
err, mother, sister, brother, aunt and
all the world. You two, with Gods
help, build your own quiet world.
Every third or fourth one whom you
draw into it with you will form a
party and stand between you two.
Promise this to each other. Re-
new the VOW at each temptation.
You will find you account in it..
Your souls will grow, as it were, to-
gether, and at last will become as
one. All, if many young pair had
on their wedding day known this Sc
cret, how many marriages would be
happier than, alas, they are now.

Michael Shea, a waiter at a
Brooklyn hotel, picked up a pocket
book in the dining room where he
was at work the other day, and upon
investigation he found that it con-
tanned $4,000. He didn't know
whether to put it into bank to his
credit, or to try to find the owner.
At this point the owner came in
and inquired for it. Shea thought it
best to turn it over to him, and for
doing so he received profuse thanks
and % cents.

That some Southern waters thy life it will
crave,
And at Apalachicola you'll find watery
grave.
Cans i thou tell Of some legend, long in the
past,
OF the light canoes that on thy brave
bosom dashed
Or some brave Indian warrior, borne on
thy tide,
With some dark dusky maiden, seated
close by his side.
Did he tell OF his bravery, as the light boat
he flashed
Or to thy green ivy banks he SO often
dashed,
Or of the scalps he had taken-he told in
his song
An what dids't thou hear, as thou went
murmuring along?
And when in the spring time on thy banks
would stray,
Plucking the crimped ivy blossoms that
scattered my way,
| remember the places where so often I've
stood,
With lover and friends, in my early wo-
manhood.
And with sad recolections, that time can
never erase,
| think of the love ones in deaths icy
embrace;
Then with faith and with hope seated deep
in my heart,
will soon cross that river, meet them
never to part.
And while to thy memory this tribute l
write, ::
With thy silvery waves forever in sight
A response from every Georgian, l hear
you exclaim,
And the shores of Alabama, re-echo thy
name.
Chattahoochee, thy name, has been in the
past,
Chattahoochee even down to the last
Chattahoochee thy name it must ever be,
From the hills of Habersham even down
by the sea.
MRS. HENRIETTA WRIGHT.

The public schools of New Rich
mond, O., have closed three months
in advance of the usual time, be-
cause the children OF colored par
ents insisted upon studying in the
same room with white children.
There are probably more bloody
shirt statesmen in Ohio than any
other state, and yet Ohioans refuse
to tolerate two or three children of
color" in the same room with white
children.

The Chicago Tribune says: The
Rev. DR.. Scott, the father of Mrs.
Harrison, still remains at his desk
in the pension bureau. His daugh-
tiers and the president himself have
tried to make him believe that there
is no longer any necessity for his
continuing to work. But he can
not be induced to surrender his po-
sition. Shortly after the election
Mrs. Harrison wrote to her father
asking him to resign, and saving
that as soon as they came to Wash
ington she would expect him to live
at the white house. This letter was
accompanied by note from General
Harrison, who made the request,
and was written in such cordial
strain as to leave no doubt of its
sincerity. But the old gentleman
wrote to his daughter, saying that
while he should be glad to be a FIRE.
quent visitor at the white house, he
could not think of spending the re.
mainder of his days in idleness. Sc
every dav DR.. Scott reaches his desk
at the pension office and works as
faithfully as any other clerk in the
office.
We admire the manly independ-
ence of the venerable DR.. Scott.
