NEW YORK, december i6-The stock market
was again listless and dun AMI all interest IN

the past week. Tho great disinclinatiOn T. trade
pending the holidays gave them an opportunity
to make demonstration against the market ont
usual Of late the better class 81 securities was
left severely alone, and the Efforts at deprcss on
were directed against n few stocks IN which
weakness was most 20 BE- expected. The dcath
Of Mr. Gowen made the occasion OF rumOr
that hs holdings Of Reading stock and Junior
securities would come upon the market, and du-
ring the forenoon especially considerable pre'-
sure vas brought upon the stock. m al there WAS
lcss success than among the Incomes, and tho
attack was extended ~ LackawBuna, with moro
Satisfactory results, though the final decline
~ it was q fraction only. The same tactics were
rcsOrted - IL tho case OF the sugar re1nerles,
because OF The death OF one mem Der OF the Have
meyer family: and. while there were sOmo vide
fluctuations made az enc time, a material drop
from the best figure WIS accomplished, the rally
in the Afternoon was com lete, and the stock ac-
tually clOscd with fractional improvement.
Tho opening was dun: but the first prices we're

On Sunday last, ut the suggestion

On SUNDAY last, at the suggestion
of A. n. Chi,iress, we Litched up
our pheaton and drove down to Alto,
accompanied by Mr.. Childress. Rev.
o. P. Miles preached very interest
ing discourse, but owing to the fact
that the ladies continued to come III
and some of the men blocking up the
windows, by using them for seats, it
became oppressively hot and we had
to retreat, but did so in order, and
occupied a seat in hack near by
which WAS much more comfortable.
1t occurs to us that if the artition
wall was removed and all the space
utilized in the church it would be
an improvement. Alto has long
been noted for large congregations.
We were under many obligations
to our friends for invitations to dine
with them. We must have had a
dozen invitations but could only ac-
cept one, which we did and shared
the generosity of Vim. r. Baird and
family. At the request of our travel
ing companion we remained over &c
hight service and arrived at home
IL p. M, though as these are moon
light nights it il very pleasant driv

The Elixir Of Life Not New.

JEAN L'FoURCAD's WIFE
DR.. Brown-Sequard is not alone in
the discovery Of elixir vitae. says the
Philadelphia Enquirer Long be-
fore the war DIR. Jean LaFourcade,
who practised medicine in New o.
leans and kept drug store on Es-
planade street, prepared and sold an
elixir which when taken had a won-
derful revivifying effect on the aged
and infrm people to whom it was
administered. DR.. LaFourcade sold
his elixir in form similar to licorice
sticks, and Of about the same color.
The stick, when consumed regu-
larly by infirm and aged people, made
them rs young, revived their i'm
paired energies, and added vigor to
their physical being. Hundreds OF
instances are on record in New Or.
leans where Papa LaFourcade'
sticks" had a beautiful effect on the
partakers. The Life Elixir of which
nension is made in our advertising
columns is said to contain the same
active principles as the original vitae
