New YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEw YORK. November 1.-THE stock
market to-day was very dull, but on the
whole displayed a firm tone, while in only
a few of the leading shares were the hue
tuattons Of sufficient Importance to de
serve notice. There was an annoying lack
of communication with the rest OF the
State and the East, and local operators
were Indisposed to take the lead In any
fresh movement. The coal stocks have
been in better demand and stronger. All
the activity IN to-day's market was ere
dited TO Atchison and st. Louis, but even
in those shares there was no real life, anu
prices crawled up only small fractions,
and while a portion of this gain was after
ward lost no weakness was apparent any
where in the list, except In tennessee
coal. which declined 90 80 ana recovered
later to 1874. The close was very dull anu
steady to firm at insignificant changes from
first prices and within small fractions Oh
last nights closing.

And surely she was; for, with returning
life, came evidence of suffering, and deep
lines of pain formed about her mouth and
eyes. Christopher noticed it, for he famed
her more vigorously with MS great ears,
Consciousness came slowly back; and
when it had returned, the first thing the
Fairy saw was her old friend Christopher
kneeling beside her.
Poor old Christopher" she said, very
family; and then, with great difficulty,
she raised her hand and gently caressed
his rough old face. Poor Christopher II
will break your old heart to see me die.
You have loved me, Christopher. But
they'll be good to you" Tears trickled
down her cheeks, the hard lines deepened,
the poor face became more piDched and
drawn, the beautiful eyes wandered va
cautly and then closed, and the Fairy
passed into unconsciousness again.
A physician now came and knelt beside
her, and, after he had examined her as well
as be could, he said;
"Sheis desperately hurt, but she is young
and is still alive. You must take her al
once to house, where I may care for her
properly"
They gently picked her up, and. as they
did so, moan escaped her. This reused
the elephant, already dazed by what had
happened. He began clumsily rising to his
feet, watching them as they bore her away,
and was evidently determined to follow.
Seeing this, Centerpole Tom, who held tbs
light body in his arms, hurried away and
almost ran TO small hotel not far distant
He took the Fairy within and laid her ou
a bed which they showed him in a rear room
on the ground floor.
But Christopher had not lost sight oi
him in spite of the crowd; and those with
out, seeing Christopher intention OF keep
ing close 70 his friend, and knowing it wai
impossible, sought to stay him. The,

back, but he noticed them not at all TheJ
threw boxes and chairs in his way, but be
tossed them aside. A carriage which stood
in his way was crushed. Christopher
seemed TO think that, as his friend was
among strangers, she was among enemies
and needed his protection. He would not
give her up.
The situation was desperate. Men eoun

Electricity in Agriculture.

One of the FIRST to recognize the great
importance of utilizing electricity for
farming purposes In England was the
Marquis Of Salisbury, who not only uses
the water power on his estate for light
ing by electricity, but also grinds his
corn, cuts his horse fodder, pumps his
water and does variety of other work
by means of electric motors. On many
manors which are adjacent to streams Of
water the farmers are beginning to real
ize the great possibilities which are close
at hand for the more economical work
ing Of their farms and are installing
electrical plants which can be worked at
a cost unapprosched by any other means.
There are tens of thousands of portable
and other steam engines owned by agri-
culturists in this country which could
be utilized in variety Of ways in con-
nection with electricity. The mere saw
ing in insurance alone would in number
less cases justify farmer in driving his
thrsshing, chsf cutting and grinding
machinery by an electric motor instead
of being obliged to bring his engine, as
now, right into his farm buildings
