was agreed to adjourn until 10 o'clock

critical condition of the market, and the
risk the long interest would incur, but the
stock brokers almost unanimously favored
the proposition, as 1t would enable them to
swap ideas and probably bring holder and

A Good Story Told by "a Young Man from
Connecticut.
When the Queen Is at Windsor visitors
are permitted TO visit certain portions OF
Buckingham Palace, but Marlborough
House, the home OF the Prince of Wales, is
never open to the public, and both places
are so carefully guarded that one is not
often paid for lettering about. One young
and venturesome American from Connecti-
cut was standing in front of Buckingham
Palace on the evening Of the recent state
concert He walked to within a few
yards Of the palace gate, and there met a
sinewy young fellow with bright eyes,
broad shoulders, and a keen air, who was
swinging along leisurely, cane in hand. His
cutaway coat was thrown open. His shoes
were dust-covered, and he had the general
appearance OF a healthy man who had
walked dozen miles.
"Queen lives here~ said the American,
as the pedestrian slowed up.
"l es," was thereby
BY this time the pair had reached the gate.
The relocated foot-guard saluted the tall
young man as he opened the small gate.
"Goin' inl" said the American.
"Yes," was the reply, and the Yankee
kept pace with him until one of the side
doors OF the palace was reached

Here u half dozen fiunkies appeared, and
after much bowling and spine curving the
tall young man was ushered in and the
Yankee was informed that only holders of
tickets TO the state concert were admitted
TO the place that night
"Come on the next visiting day." said the
Prince. and turning to one Of the flunkies
he said "Be sure and give the gentleman
every facility when he calls again. The
Americans are curious in more ways than
one"
1t transpired later that the soldiers at
the gate supposed the American was one
Of the Princes companions and so allowed
him TO pass, and the American tells the
story as a good joke ON himself,

AN ANCIENT PRIZE-FiGHT.
virgii's Description Of Mil Between Two
Trojan Sluggers.

The first prize-hght OF which we have any
detailed description, says the New Orleans
Picayune, was specially reported by the
great Latin poet, Virgil, in the fifth book
of the 4Eneld. When Prince Eneas was
escaping with his followers from the de-
struction OF Troy he anchored his feet of
the coast OF Sicily and landed the men and
women for a season of rest, To celebrate
the occasion he organized contests of arch
ers, wrestlers and boxers, besides regatta
and foot-races. The prixe-hght was be-
tween Entellus, an old athlete, and Dares,
young champion OF the ring. We are not
told II the Marquis Of Queensberry's rules
were used or not, but there were scientific
regulations. Both champions had their fists
armed with gloves Of rawhide and lead,
Entellus, stripped Of his quilted coat, his
body barred, composed OF mighty bones and
brawn," while DSres "his brawny back and
ample breast he shows"
Both on tho tiptoe stand at full extent
Their arms aloft, their bodies inly bent;
Their heads from aiming blows they bear afar,
With clashing gauntlets then provoke the war.
Before, behind, the blows are dealt; around
Their hollow sides with rafting thumps re-
sound
Heavy with age, Entellus stands his ground.

FOREST FIRES.

Each year the forest fires in this
state get worse and worse, until 1t
really seems as though in a very
short time there would be no timber
left at all. From nearly every por-
ton of the state there come reports
of the terrible damage done to the
forests, and often of loss Of individu.
al property, until the evil has be-
come of such magnitude as to de-
mand some effective measurures for
its suppression. Just now is the
time of the greatest danger to the
trees, for everything is as dry as
tinder, and a spark may set flame
which will spread for miles, sweep
ing everything before it.
In great majority of cases these
fires are due to carelessness. A
camping party may leave a campfire
burning, or a hunter may drop q
lighted match into the dry rubbish
under his feet, or a woodchopper
may knock a coal out Of hispipe into
u little nest Of dry, pitchy scraps all
ready TO receive it, and in no time
up flashes the blaze, and breath OF
wind turns it into roaring con-
migration. Against carelessness 1t
l. useless to legislate except in a
General way, that is, 10y throwing
very safeguard possible around the
rests, and how this can be done is
a serious problem.
1t has been suggested-aDd the
suggestion is offered for what it may
be- worth that the legislature should
authorize the supervisors of the
.rveral timber-stocked counties in
The staue to provide a system Of
pat rolls for the forests within their
several counties during the very dry
months, say from the 1st of August
until the first rain comes, the ex-
pcnse OF such patrolllng to be borne
by the state at large. The state has
been suggested, both because the
whole state il interested in the pres
ervation of the forests and because
some of the counties could not stand
the expense Of maintaining the
patrol. Perhaps this may not be
the best scheme, but it is evident
that something will have to be done,

FIFTY-EIGHT years ago the hrst
train of cars ran out of Lexington,
Kentucky. They were propelled 10y
horse power at the rate of ten miles
an hour, and a dozen passengers was
considered good trip. Instead OF
wooden ties, the flat iron was
fastened to stone sills, laid length
wise, and to-day many of those
sills may be seen where they were
thrown aside. Ten days ago the
Louisville Southern railway ex-
tended their line to that city, their
first train entering ii precisely
where the first train left ii in 1881.
