NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, June 1s.--There were two infu-
ences which exerted a favorable effect upon the
stock market to-day-the announcement Of
nnal settlement between the Chicago Gas Trust
and tho city and a reduction Of the minimum
rate OF discount by the Bank Of England as an
ticipated. The FIRST Of these showed positive re-
suit in very material advance In the price OF
the stock interested but the latter failed 70 have
any marked effect anywhere In the list.
THE MARKET FIRM.
The market on the whole presented a firm line
after the early reaction from the high figures Of
the opening, and there was slow but steady inn
proyement, which, however, was scarcely per-
ceptible during most OF the time. New England
again became prominent for strength, and its
manipulators succeeded in closing IL materially
higher on light transactions.
SILVER Up.
Silver certificates we're also stimulated, pro-
badly by the meeting Of the silver men here, and
after more activity than usual Of late IL closed
/ higher. The final dealings displayed a stronger
tone than at any previous time Of the day, and
the market closed firm though dull at small
fractional gains as a rule Sales Of listed stocks,

 Ex-Senator Ingalls, is too bright man to stay down.

 Things change, even in Scotland. A few Sundays ago the Rev. J. H. Crawford, the esteemed pastor of Presbyterian church in Dundee, made a plea in his sermon for cheap theatres. After calling attention to dee, for whom there are no recreations ex- cept the hquor-shop, he declared that the only way to humanize them was to give them some innocent amusement. What was needed was 6 place where the poor could go, not only where nothing debasing could be seen, but where precisely the mo- blest conceivable influences would be brought to bear upon them in precisely the most attractive way. He did not know on whose shoulders Elijah's man. tie would fall-whether the theatre was to be the church of the future or not-but he knew this, that they could make very dull people under stand in the theatre; they could make very callous people weep in the theatre; and they could make very vicious and bad-living people ashamed of themselves in the theatre, and this at least was in the direction of doing the church's work.
 It all depends on how you look at a thing. A meeting of the Maharastra Hin- doos was held recently in the Thadordwar temple, Bombay, to consider what steps should be taken in protest against certain libellous hsndbills distributed among the l natives by Christian missionaries. The chairman, MT. Dhondu Shamrao Gsrud, in explaining the object of the meeting, said that handbills containing a gross libel of | the great Hindoo god Krishna had been circulated by the Bible Tract society. A slur was cast on their god Krishns, and
 such misrepresentation wounded the re. ligious feelings of the Hindoos. He sd. | vised them to memorabilia government | praying that the missionaries should be
 stopped from interfering in their re | ligious matters and defaming theil gods. Since the Queens proclamation
 of 1858 protected their religion:
 freedom, no one had right to interfer,
 with their religion. They should respect fully ask the government to prevent tn, missionaries from attacking their religion
 or their gods any longer. After severa | gentlemen had expressed their opinion ir
 favor of organizing strong protest against the conduct of the missionaries, il was resolved to ask the mahsjsns to con
 vene monster meeting to Inemorialize tn, | government for redress.

Saved by the Pony.


 In the neighborhood few miles east of Goliad, Texas, Mexican pony is the hero of the hour. The pony, which is a very small one, was bought by a farmer, James then been the constant companion of the Lester children. They have ridden ''San Jose" rolled over him, and pulled his ears and tail, and have always considered him as one of the family. When the children went on any expedition where they didn't care to ride "San Jose" generally went along anyhow as naturally ss though he had been pet dog.
 One day not long since three of the chil- dren went on a nutting expedition, and the two little girls rode ''San Jose, while the brother walked beside him. Arrived at the point where nuts were most plenti- ful, San Jose was turned loose 10 grAze ai his will until the time should come for re- turning home. The children worked steadily for several hours, and then the boy went on to a tree some distance away, leaving his sisters to rest where they were. He was fully out of sight, and the little girls wero walking about s;de by side, ex. | ploring the ground to See if any nuts had | been left. Suddenly almost beneath theil feet sounded an ominous whir, and there was the coil of huge ratflesnKke with ita head drawn back ready to strike. Neither child moved an inch. Each said after. wards that she could not have moved | that she felt as though she were frozen ! stiff. But suddenly, while the head went 1 weaving back and forth, there was a quick trsmple of hoofs, @ rush through the bush es, and "San Jose' lesPed into the ring With his four little sharp hoOfs brought together, he shot up into the air, landed square on the snakes coil, and was of again before the head could strike Tn, interruption had released the frightened children from the rattler's influence, ant they ran & short distance away and stopped to witness the fight The rattler wa wounded, but in sn instant it resumed itl coil and it's offensive attitude, and tn, children began to think it was all ovel with poor ''San Jose" But mol He cam, again with that sudden spring with sl four of the little hoofs straight upon th, snakes body, and this time the body wa cut half in two in one place and wa wounded in several others. The snAk, writhed and twisted, and in the midst O it's contortions bit itself again and again There was no more fight in it. It tried ta crawl away, but San Jose" lesped upon and trampled over it until it lay quiverinI upon the ground. 'fSan Jose was stil doubtful about it, and paved it over wit one forefoot, after which be smelled it owe carefully.

AVIRGINIA QUESTION.

In Virginia the negro has always been treated with more consideration than in some of the other southern States. In the old slavery days the relations between own CTS and slaves in Virginia were, ss rule, kindly, and since the war there has not been so much friction between the races there as elsewhere. It is therefore rather surprising to see Governor Mckinney rec ommending the passage of law requiring separate cars for negroes and whites on railroad trains. And it is not surprising to see this recommendation criticised by which declares 1t to be reasonably cer- tain that no considerable number of intelligent people, that have given the subject any consideration, make such demand" While admitting that there are some tnegro-haters" who are willing to prove their sincerity and consistency by paying extra for separate cars, it holds that it is unjust for them to compel others to pay also who do not ob- ject to the presence of well-behaved col ored people in the coach in which they are making brief trip. The Petersburg news. paper goes so far as to affirm that ''the negro is generally well behaved on rail road trains, and the persons most fire. quently found drunk and disorderly there do not have black skins" and it insists that 'tall that can be reasonably required of any passenger who pays his fare is that be be well behaved, free from infection, disease and decently clad"
 This is sensible talk, and there should be more of it. This is free country and for all

WHY BRUTEs ARE DUMB.

Curious Tradition of the Lake Re-
 zion Indians Of Southern Canada.
 The American Indians. especially those of the lake regions of southern Canada. relate a curious tradition to account for the fact that all lower animals gre dumb, says the St. Louis Republic. In very, very early times, they say, the father of all tribes lived in beautiful country over against the rising sun. His form was per feet and his face handsome in the extreme. his descendants being all superb specimens of humanity. Knowing of their accom- plishments and being much given to flat tering each other, they became very hsugh- their ,bigotry the great father warned the father of the tribes in dream that a del ugs would be sent to drown them from of the face of the earth. In the dream which forewarned the father of the tribes of the great calamity impending there was pre- sented to his visionary view the form and outlines of raft, which was to be used in saving a remnant of this bigoted people.
 In those days all animals talked as men do; and, when the father of the tribes in formed the beasts of .he field of his d'eam, and of his intentions concerning the building of great raft, they protest ed, declaring their unwilliegness to accom- pany him on any such expedition. But the mans superior intelligence prevailed. He built the raft, and loi had hardly fin ished when the great food came. The mans family and pairs of every beast took passage and AoAted for many montbs on the surface of the d-lnge- The clouds cleared away on the second day after the authorization, and for seventeen successive moons the man Used the sun as s guide, continually steering toward h:s place of setting. But the animals, every one of them (who, it will be remembered, had the power of speech), protested against sa'ling to the west, declaring in one voice that they preferred steering toward the suns rising place These murmErs had been going on for some days, when, to the inf mite joy of the man, who had been hold ng the fort against this horde of crea- rures who had the voices of men and the reason of beasts, great spots of dry land began to appear. Finslly this rudely con- sfructed ark grounded. and the man and his family and the beasts were again per mitted to press the face of the earth with their feet. Bnt great and lasting ca lsmity had overtaken the animals. For their murmurs against the man while on the water they were deprived of th =ir power of speech, and have rsmAined dumb from that day.
