Couldn't Pass the Note.

Mr.. CASTELAR, told how he happened to
be In New York at one time during the
war looking out for gang of counter
feiters. To avoid making his presence
in the city conspicuous he put up at a
second rate hotel, where he was I'M
known. For some purpose he handed to
the clerk at the desk brand new fifty
cent note. Tt was an issue just out, with
General Spinner's portrait on it, the like
ness having been substituted for pic
ture of Justice with her scales, which
the forgers had initiated very success
fully.
The clerk looked at the note with evil
dent suspicion, and handed it back.
81 never saw anything like that be-
FORE" he said.
'It is good, I assure you," replied Mr..
Cagilear.
81 don't believe ii, }" said the clerk.
"Very WELL" rejoined Mr.. Casilear
'1t doesn't matter, though I know ii is
good, because 1 made it myself"
The clerk smiled sardonically.
"That is just what occurred to me, I"
heSaid; therefore refused to accept it. I"
MIR. CASTELAR, felt that the joke was on
himself, so he treated himself to bottle
of soda water at the bar and left for

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The Review Of Stocks and Bonds the
Past Week.
The Stock Market for the Week has Shown
Strong Tone at the Advance-Railroad
Bonds Active and Prices Rising.

In Wall street the past week the stock mark
ct has shown very strong tone without any
unhealthy or spasmodic action. The advance
had been well held in the case of most stocks,
and there has been more confidence among
buyers and less inclination TO realize profits on
any small advance. The present strength of
stocks is based on the best foundation, that is,
large earnings and increasing dividends but
this, Ike some other things, may be overesti-
mated, and it is quite sufficient if prices keep
pace with dividend prospects and do not run
far ahead OF them. London was waiting for
some time to have our own market STOW conf
dence in American railroad securities, and now
that the improvement has come The foreign
buying also increases.
Railroad bonds have also been active at rising
prices. The demand is not confined to Income
bonds bought on speculative account, but it is
well distributed throughout the list of mortgage
bonds, and the prices of many OF the popular
issues have advanced largely.

having taken a HON. s. B. ELKINS.
fancy to him, sent him to the school in
which Elkins was a teacher during the
few weeks it was necessary for him to
be in Kansas City with the cattle. Jones
spoke Spanish fiuently, and an intimacy
having sprung up between Elkins and
himself, he taught his new found friend
the language, which he had acquired
from his Mexican employer. Jones also
incidentally filed Elkins' head with
stories of the wonderful territory of
New Mexico and the free and easy life
his occupation enabled him to lead.
Elkins obtained employment with
Jones' party as driver at fifteen dollars
a month, and giving up his position in
Z the school, he removed to New Mexico.
There his knowledge of human nature
in general and the Spanish language in
particular soon served to make him i'm
mensely popular with the people of the
territory. He succeeded a few years
later in breaking up the Ubiquitous peon
system. This exploit, it might be men
toned incidentally, was not bad thing
for Elkins in pecuniary way, for it is
said that he indicted 10000 peon owners
in one year, and at the price allowed by
the government - twenty-five dollars
each-the amount received from this
source alone would have been quarter
of million dollars. It is worthy of note
that Elkins and Jones have been as good
friends in prosperity as they were in adj
RerSity.

Exterminated hx Fashion.

Here is another victim to the demands
of fashion. An English paper says that
the beautiful Australian Tyre bird is
threatened with total extinction in New
South Wales, thanks to the extensive
American demand for its tail feathers
to adorn feminine headgear. In single
fortnight one agent alone exported 1000
Tyre birds tails to the United States.
Evidently the colony needs branch of
the Ladies' association, which is work
ing SO energetically in England against
the wanton destruction of wild birds for
their plumage.
