Street Cars In the City of Mexico.

While the principal cities of this coun- try arc no doubt very favorable places for street railway investors, yet in pro- portion to their number and wealth the people of the City of Mexico contribute moro, perhaps, to the support of their horse cars than those of any other city. Nobody seems to walk there who can scrape together enough to ride. Mules are the motive power, and these thin beasts gallop along at a reckless pace under constant flashing from their driver There are first, second and third class cars, which vary in price from a real (about 12 cents) down to 2 cents The first class coaches are about as comfort able as the Broadway cars of New York. The second class cars have small win dows near the roof without glass, a bench running lengthwise along either wall, and another without back down the center. Third class cars carry freight and Indians indiscriminately. One road, which extends far out of the city to the principal cemetery, runs funeral cars draped ill mourning, and does big bus mess in funerals.
 AS all tho lines meet at the principal square of the city, the mourning coaches can be switched off to any part of the town. At the cemetery they are side tracked to await the return of the fune- ral party.-Street Railway Journal

CHAPTER XIX.

''I will let her alone and she will marry Jeannot," thought Flamen and he believed himself a good man for once in his life, and pitied himself for having become sentimen- talist
 She would marry Jeannot and bear many children, as those people always did; and ruddy little peasants would cling about those pretty, soft, little breasts of hers; and she would love them after the manner of such women and be very content clattering over ths stones ill her wooden shoes; and growing brown and stout, and more careful after money, and ccasing to dream of unknown things, and not seeing God at all in the fields, but looking low and beholding only the ears of the gleaniing wheat and the feet of the tottering children; and so gaining her bread and losing her soul, and stepping nearer and nearer to earth till she dropped into it like one of her own wind blown wall flowers when the bee has sucked out all its sweetness and the heats have scorched up all its bloom; yes, of course, she would marry Jeannot and end so,
 Meanwhile he had his Gretchen, and that was the one great matter.
 So he l>ft the street of Mary of Burgundy, and we:It on his way out of the chiming city as its nlatin bells were rung, and took with him a certain regret and the only innocent affection that had ever awakened in him; and thought of his self negation with half admiration and half derision; and so drifted away into the whirlpool of his amorous, cyni- cal changeful passionate, callous, many col ored life and said to himself as he saw the last line of the low green plains shine against the sun: "She will marry Jeannot-of course she will marry Jeannot And my Gretchen is greater than Scheffer's"
 What else mattered very much, after all, except what they would say in Paris of Gretchen2

cc,dsn,ith.s Grave.

We nave among us, in the heart of this rich city. in Goldsnlith's buildings, hard by the Temple church, the grave of Oliver Goldsmith. The insignificant monument that covers his remains, and the tenth rate statue, if such it can be called, that adjoins it, are in state of decay that does tao greatest discredit to Goldsmith's fellow countrymen. On the one side of the stone is the inscription: Here lies Oliver Goldsmith" and on the other. Born 10 Nov, 17oS. Died 4th April, l774." Many of the letters and figures on the stone are well nigh oblit- erated, while the inscription underneath the statue it is absolutely impossible to dccipher. This is no new tale.
 Some of our contemporaries have very properly again and again called the attention of the public to these facts, but still nothing is done. Surely the few pounds necessary to keep his grave in proper state of repair might well be subscribed. It is now entirely neglected and deserted. save by a few kindly folk who sometimes deck it with flowers. A movement having the object we have indicated and headed, say, by the two great English actors who have given us such delightful renderings of what was perhaps Goldsmith's greatest creation Dr. Primrose-could not fail to secure the hearty cooperation of all those who have derived pleasure and amusement and instruction from that master of fic- tion, who was not only one of the great est novelists of his time, but the purest hearted and most good natured of men.

StcDhenSon's Leisure Hours.

George Stephenson, the great railway pioneer. did not know his alphabet until he was Is years of age: but he no sooner became convinced of the necessity of learning to read in order to get on in the world than he set about it with all the energy he possessed, and went to school i.though he made rather a big schoolboy) while he was working twelve hours a day at very laborious work. Beside learning to read and write and acqair- ing the other clements of education, he mended clocks and shoes for his neigh bors in hs "leisure hours" George Stephenson's cXalnplc shows that a great deal may be done if we only make up our minds to do it.-Boston Herald.

 She ran to him and threw herself on ,he 1a,np ground and held him there, and leaned her forehead on bis feet. But though he looked at her with wet eyes, he did not yield, and he still said:
 Il will come back soon-very soon-ba quiet, dear; let me go."
 Then he kissed her once more-many times and put her gently within the door and closed it.
 low, sharp, sudden cry reached him, went to his heart, but he did not turn; he went on through the wet, green little garden, and the curling leaves, where he had found peace and had left desolation.

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Potatoes still rule quiet, though some dealers
report a better feeling. The short supply two
weeks ago has brought an over-supply to mar
kets, and some money has been dropped by
SPECTATORS who figured on scarcity. The
cost of bringing potatoes from Iowa and Min
nesota is close to Csc per bushei. The price on
track here this morning was 40c. Apples move
slowly. Grapes are in good supply and fair de-
mand. There are still a few peaches on the
market at a range of 81 so to So bushel. But
as their season is practically over, demand is
light. Dairy products are active and firm, but
unchanged. Choice eggs are very firm at'out-

preface of which the following is an extract:
'sThe case will be Immediately appealed to
the Supreme Court of the United States, and
the question of the validity of the patent can
moi be finally settled until the appeal is decided
by that court. If that decision is in our favor
ali users of incandescent lamps having carbon

This particular patent although we believe that
they will be liable under other patents owned
by us 1t will be about three years before the
case can be reached in the Supreme Court. In
the meanwhile, all persons making and using
ipcandescent lamps having carboniZed ibrous

risk If this Sawyer-Mann fbrous carbon pat
ent were the only patent for the manufacture
of incaudescent lamps, it might be thought
that the public would be free to make them.

The exchanges were large, indicating brisk

That money is being put into these enter

BUSINESS IMPROVING.
Stocks BulIish mt the Opening, but Give
Way Under n Persistent Bear Raid
An Active Close Mt Frac.
ffonaI lectineaf

NEW YORK, October N.-The Improvement
in the condition of the money market made
further progress to-day, and the restoration of
passenger rates to Denver with the continued
encouraging traffic returns gave the stock
market bullish tone at the opening of busi-
ness. The fluctuations, however, are still con-
trolled to a large extent by the professionals,
who are at present on the short side of the ac-
count, and thus the history of the days trans
actions is chiefly comprised in the efforts of the
bears to break prices by determined attacks
upon few stocks. Atchison and New En-
gland were more conspicuous among these,
and pressure to sell the former found little de-
mand and absolutely no support whatever. A
rumor that the reorganization plan was meet
ing with, unexpected opposition was circulated,
but could not be confirmed. There were
points out to sell new England before the OPEN
ing, and it was said that large block of the
stock was to be sold. The two stocks mem
toned furnished nearly half of the total busi-
ness done and they overshadowed the entire
list
The bears gave considerable attention to Cot
