An easily prepared and wholesome

Then pour in three quarts of freshly
popped com; stir until the sugar is thor

popped corn, and are delicious. But

SIeigh-Riding by Gaslight.

From Alexandria, Ind, to Anderson
is twelve miles, along the Anderson and
Alexandria turnpike. This winter the
beaux of the two places have an oppor-
tunity to give the girls sleigh rides by
gaslight for that whole distance, with
no extra charge for the illumination.
The pike runs through a wealthy and
thickly settled community, and the
farmers are already well supplied with
gas from wells that they have drilled on
their farms. They have for some time
kept fa.nbeaux burning all night in front
of each house for the convenience of
travellers, and now they propose to re-
duce the thing to a system and establish
regular line of lights for the whole
twelve miles. All that it will cost will
be the laying of little tubing to get the
lights at regular intervals, and the price
of a few boxes of matches with which
to touch the torches off every evening.

A DUKE IN DISGUISE.
BY HoRArIo AIeER, JR.


Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy,
was in the habit of throwing of his
court costume at times, and in various
disguises going forth to seek such ad-
ventures as might present themselves.
On one occasion, being overtaken by a
storm, he took refuge in small house
Just on the outskirts Of the citE of
Bruges. The house was neatly furnished,
but still in plain, inexpensive manner.
The door was opened by matronly look
ing woman, TO whom the Duke ad-
dressed his petition:
My good dame, have been suddenly
overtaken by the storm-will you, in
your kindness, allow me to tarry with
you until it is overin
with pleasure" was the reply.
Yet, as there are those who 90 about
with evil designs, should feel the more
willing If knew your name and condi-
you may judge from my dress, " said
the luke, evasively, that am a merch-
ant, and for my name, you may call me
Philip Frendrau.n
DO sou do business here in Bruges
hethinks l have never heard of that
name
..Here and elsewhere. My business
calls me to different parts of the King
dom. y
"You should carry on an extensive
business, then9"
80. SO, said the Duke. 'At any
rate, manage to gain a comfortable
support. You are widowln
"Alasi yes, sir. Ny husband died a
year or more sinee.n
"Haye you any childreni7
"une-a son Of twenty-one.
"N hat business does he follow7'
81 fear he will never follow any,"
"And wherefore notin
because, sir, he is at this moment
violently in love, and his suit does not
prosper.
The lady does not smile upon him,
oNot so" said the widow, a little
proudly. "She must indeed be blind
not to love my Henry, but it is the
father who oh ects."
And what is the ground of his OBJ
jectionr
lie IS wealthy and we are not"
Perhaps he thinks your son o fortune
hunter
He knows better; but the worst of
it is, that, but for his evil practices, my
son would be as rich as himself"
''Ha!" said the duke, growing more
attentive. 'Iet me know how that is,
if you have no OBJ ectiou."

FINANCIAL.

New YORK, Oct 25-lSpecial Telegram TO
The BEE. STOCKS - The stock market
opened active and steady, and shortly be-
came feverish and unsettled. There was
nothing definite in the talk OF the street late
or early. There appeared to be a general
disposition to wait rather than force the
movement The bear talk about Willard
being dangerously sick was not well founded,
although he is kept at home by Illness. In
trading this morning there was stubborn
resistance TO any advance, and Chicago bear
houses supplied tho market. First prices
showed difference from last evenings fg-
ures extending to g per cent, either way,
while Northern Pacific was exceptional with
decline of q per cent. The general list
was quiet to dull, but Union Pacific, Mis-
souri Pacific, and Louisville & Nashville,
among the stocks OF the regular
list, aud Sugar Refineries and Cotton
Oil among the trusts were active and gave to
the dealings what character they possessed.
Sugar was the feature of the market, being
very irregular and feverish. After opening
at ,24 1t declined TO 7l2. but then rose per
cent, from which point 1t rapidly declined TO
IL. The general list advanced slowly and
gains ranged up to e per cent but the drop
in Sugar checked the advance and some re-
cession was made, though firmer tone was
afterwards shown. During the hour to noon
the Improvement was quite general. Sugar,
after touching 7O9l, recovered quickly to ~,
Cotton Oil rose point from the opening to
43l1s, and Chicago Gas sold at 55 Coal stocks
moved up uniformly 4 per cent, and Gran
gers showed 2s(9B per cent gain over the
close last night. Louisville, Lake Shore
ana Northern Pacific preferred were
irregular and inclined to weakness.
This proved to be "a good day on the buying
side of stocks. Not only were railway stocks
firm to the close at very fattering advances,
but trusts recovered from the early nervous
ness and weakness and closed materially
higher for the day. During the closing
hours the shorts saw that the forces were
against them and they turned in as buyers,
but not without being plucked somewhat.
The net gains for the day were from l to 2
per cent, railway shares showing the most
activity Northern Pacific preferred, Atchi-
son, St. Paul, Union Pacific and Missouri
Pacific gained per cent each, and North
western II, Rock Island l2c and Lacka-
wanna per cent. Chicago Gas also gained
9 per cent to 561@c at the close. The earn
ings of all the roads reporting were most
excellent. Money was easier at Acc per
cent The outlook ls much improved. The
total sales were 22 400 shares.
