A lecturer that had for several minutes
harangued his audience on the beauties OF
politeness, was interrupted by a man who
arose and said
"That's all very well, cap-mighty fine
talkin', an all that, but in this town po-
likeness don't pay"
"You are mistaken SIR" the lecturer an
swered, "politeness pays in any and all
towns"
"No, you are wrong the interrupter
persisted, sit don't pay here. I'll tell you
why. For some time have been eating at
a lunch counter round yonder, and l no.
ticed that every man sat up to the counter
with his hat on, and as / wasn't brought
up that way, concluded to take my hat
off, and did So"
"Well, but did any one object'" the lee
turer asked
"Oh, no, there was no objection, but, you
see some fellow stole my hat. "-Arkansaw

Railroad bonds were slightly more active, but
failed to develop any more decided tone, and
among the few important changes in quotations
declines were the more numerous. The sales
were only $593, 900, without any special feature.
The stock market opened with a boom, the adj
vances extending to one and seven-eighths in
New York Central and C. c. c. and st. Louis
The demand did not sustain these high fig
ures, however, and there was d fractional re-
action with the usual result of dullness and stag
nation.
The market continued to present a firm under
tone until the last hour, when the buying began
in earnest, encouraged by the extremely lower
rates prevalent for money, and in short time
advances extending to one and half per cent
were established. Sugar Refineries led the up
ward movement on the rumor that $40 1000 OF
the stock had been deposited and, while the
rumor lacked confirmation, there was no reaction
in its price.

by the train escaped and it remained true
that no regular passenger on any trhin had
ever lost his life. It is remarkable

War Among Ovstermen.

STANFORD, Aug, 26.-They have war
of the lilies at the shore. 1t seems that
there is big set of oysters in the river,
and the harbormen have agreed among
themselves not to catch any more shells
where this set is until it is old enough to
be sold direct to the planters, when they
will readily bring ten cents per bushel in
stead of five, for which the shells are ordi-
narily sold. Lorenzo Smith, however, it
is said, refuses to enter this compact, and

for revenge. = :
