Union Pacific and the Market.

NEW YORK, Aug 13-The stock market
to-day was less active but displayed 4 firm
TO strong Tone which but for the influence
OF Union Pacific might have been the cause
of material improvement in prices. Signs
are NOT wanting that the Union Pacific
floating debt scare has served its purpose
in the street and probabilities are that in
few days some other sensation will take its
place and the floating debt will be forced TO
settle itself as far as Wall street is con-
cerned.
The market the last few days has shown
an unmis taxable disposition TO break away
from the Union Pacific, and assertions are
not wanting that the attack upon the Union
Pacific was entirely for the purpose of
picking up stocks in other directions.
Union Pacific to-day was still the most con-
spcuous figure in the market, but its trans
actions were on much smaller scale than
during the last few days, and its tuctua-
tons were brought down to a parity with
the rest of the list. while later in the day
its relative Importance in dealings was
subOrdinated 10 that OF some other stocks.
Burlington, Atchison, St. Paul, Rock
Island. Louisville and Nashville were fea-
lures of the trading, but the remainder of
the market with the single exception of
cordage showed no animation or movement
of Importance. The market closed quiet
aud firm, generally at small fractions better
than last nights prices.
Railroad bonds were once more fairly ac-
tive. but the increase in the amount of bust
ness done was almost entirely in Atchison
incomes. which furnished s., 236, 900 out of
the total days business of s., 9S5 600. These
bonds were also specially strong, and clos
ing at 81, scored a gain of = per cent.
Government bonds dull and steady.
State bonds entirely neglected.

Pork Packing and Provisions.

The Cincinnati Price Current says: The
Western packing for the week shows

ceding week and 3i5,ooO last year, making
an aggregate of $4,000 since March l,
against 6,O95 900 a year ago-decrease .6223,-
600 or q per cent. Prices OF hogs have
wldened little III range in some markets,
without much change in the general aver
age, closing about the same as week ago
IN most of the Western markets. The
quality Is not deteriorating, as rule, and
corresponds generally with recent previous
marketlngs. Packing operations were es-
peclaiy active year ago now, and through
the month of August, diminishing somewhat
toward the close, and declining quite de-
cidedly in September
In the provision trade the movement of
product has been moderate for the time of
year, hardly up to expectations, and values
have been fairly easy, Notwithstanding the
maintenance of prices of hogs. In fact, the
light offerings of hogs measurably tends to
restrict export business, owing TO the lin
tied supply of such Qaulity as is necessary
to produce the special cuts mostly called
Tor. But few houses in the West are now
operating, excepting in restricted way TO
meet special current needs. chiefly in the
way OF fresh product. Prices of leading
articles were all sustained at Chicago until
Yesterday, when sharp break occurred.
The export clearanceS of product for the
week were fairly liberal of bacon, but much
reduced OF lard, the aggregate falling
largely below the corresponding period last

On the Foreign Exchange.

LONDON. Aug. l3.-The Trieste failure and
the Russian ukase together have depressed
most international stocks. 1t is feared that
the failure of crops in Russia will give rise
10 popular disaffection from which the Rus
sian government is not unlikely to endeavor
10 distract public attention by i policy of
foreign complications or aggression. There
is indication of apprehensive feeling on the
stock exchange and even American secur-
tiles vest erday failed to attract the atten-
ton of buyers. The Russian ukase caused
a hardening OF prices of cereals in Liver
pool. Rye is not much dealt in in England
as compared with the business in that COM
modify on the continent, but its absence
caused Indian maize to be in request and
for that Liverpool is one of the chief Euro
pean markets, hence further advance in
maize is expected.

A Story of Lord Dudley.

The habit of thinking aloud was pecu-
liarity of one of the earls of Dudley, and
of this an amusing anecdote is told.
Lord Dudley, being invited to the house
of friend, had ordered his carriage at an
early hour, having some miles to travel be-
fore he could obtain his accustomed re-
pose. To his great modification, after re-
peated inquiries for Lord Dudley's car
riage, it had not arrived.
One of his guests, seeing how much
his lordship was disconnected by the event,
very politely offered him seat in his. The
gentleman in question had to pass his
lordship's house on his return home, and
though he was almost stranger to Lord
Dudley, his rank and position in the coun-
try were, Of course, well known to him.
Nevertheless, they had not been seated in
the carriage more than twenty minutes,
when the peer, who had up to that mo-
ment maintained a most perfect silence,
observed, in a low but distinctly audible
tone of voice:
"Im very sorry accepted his offer. /
don't know the man. 1t was civil, GER
tainly, but the worst is, suppose, must
ask him to dinner"
He then relapsed into his former state Oh
taciturnity, when, after a few minutes, the
gentleman pretending to be afflicted with
the same failing, and initiating his lord
ships tone, observed:
Perhaps he'll think did it to make his
acquaintance. Why, would have done
the same to any farmer on his estate.
hope he won't think it necessary to ask
me to dinner, for Ishan't accept his invi-
tation."
Lord Dudley listened to him with earnest
interest, Immediately comprehended the
joke which he himself had provoked, Of
fered his hand with much hearty good will
to his companion, making every proper
apology for his involuntary rudeness, and
from that night the travellers became in
separable friends.-Shefield Telegraph.

An Interesting Case Of Telepathy.

A young married lady related TO me thu
following remarkable experience of this
kind; Shortly after her marriage she had
accompanied her husband TO India 1t was
toward the end Of the mutiny, and she was
separated from him-he being about forty
miles away, and, as she believed, in great
personal danger. For the first time in her
young life she was left alone. One night,
on retiring to rest, feeling far from well,
depressed, too, by the sense of loneliness
and by anxiety on her husbands account,
she could not help crying" and fell. as
she thought, into troubled sleep.
She dreamed or fancied that an elderly
gentleman who had shown them much
kindness on their first arrival in India, but
was then residing at a considerable dis
tance, entered her room, and approaching
the bed said, "My dear child, know well
what you are suffering, and, believe me, /
feel deeply for you," and that he stopped
down and kissed her. Though quite aware,
she said, that it was merely vision, she
felt greatly eonsoled.
The mutiny ended, she was with her hus-
band in Calcutta at an evening party, at
which she met their friend He expressed
his pleasure at seeing her again after long
interval. '1t is not so long," she replied,
''since l saw you," and she described the
vision. With expressions of the utmost
astonishment, he declared that he himself
had had a similar vision, or rather dream.
"Idreamed that / saw you crying and tried
to console you and kissed you."-Black-
woods Magazine.

Lady Hester stanhons.

It would be hard to find a more typical
example of the wayward, strong natured
and imperious Englishwoman than Lady
Hester Stanhope, the niece of William
Pitt. She was her uncle's constant COM
panion during the various crises Of his
government; and it was to her that, after
Austerlitz, when he lay on his deathbed
and despair for the western world in its
efforts against BoDaparte the conqueror
filled his soul, he cried, with that historic
cry, "Roll up the map of Europe"
Well, Pitt died, and Lady Hester's yo-
cation of politician was gone. She went to
the east, and there in Palestine she soon
gained the veneration, almost, indeed, the
worship of the people. They held her for
a prophecies, and she did not bring the
word into dis=epute. When Kinzlake paid
her a visit in the Lebanon she was sixty
years old, with face 'of the most aston
ishing whitepess." Further, "she wore q
very large turban, made seemingly Of pale
Cashmere shawls, and so disposed ~ to
conceal the hair; her dress, from the chin
down to the point at which it was con-
cealed by the drapery on her lap was =
mass of white linen, loosely folding" and
her legs weIe IN loose eastern trousers.
she ruled the villagers on her estate as
.lespotically as a pasha, and even In old age
showed the same strength Of will which in
her youth had made her famous a. break
er Of unruly horses In her natal district Of
Somersetshire.-All the Year Round

wonders Wrought by Pressure.

The enormous depth of the great Com
stock mines in Nevada and the gigantic
and incomprehensible weight of the mass
of stones and earth resting upon the tim
bers (Which actually hold up the noun
tains that have literally been honeycombed
by the miners), have wrought wonders
which puzzle the deepest thinkers For
instance, queer polished sticks, as smooth
as dressed mahogany and not thicker than
your wrist. are often taken out of deserted
portions of the mines. They are as hard
and as heavy as iron, and knife of the
best material will not make scratch on
them. Do you have any idea what they
are2 Drill cores, you think, but they are
not.
Originally they were solid oak timbers
IL by l2 inches square. But why are they
no thicker than walking stick upon re-
moval after having seen years of servicei
The weight of the mountain bearing upon
them from all directions, perpendicularly
as well as laterally Gor it is only in this
way that mines of enormous depth can be
safely tim mbered) has wrought the wonders
seen in the polished stick. Sometimes
these transformed timbers are found in
small sections, sometimes in long pieces,
and are taken out where cave-ins have oc-
Cured and displaced the vorkings.-St.

All the mystery about the eel, as science
has leaFned within the last few years. is
due to the fact that it lays its eggs, or
brings forth its young alive, in the sea,
where no one hasa chance to observe the
process. Other fishes, like the shad, leave
the ocean to spawn in fresh water streams,
but this curious and slippery customer does
precisely the reverse. The young eels,
newly born or hatohed, leave the salt water
snd make their way in armies up the
rivers inland. Obstacles apparently insur-
mountable they use the utmost ingenuity
Sn passing, even travelling considerable dis
tances upon dry land in order to get around
an obstruction.
In the spring and summer any visitor at
Niagara who 6escends beneath the great
sheet of water az the foot of the falls will
see literally hundreds of cart loads of small
eels wriggling over the rocks and souirm-
ing in the whirlpoels. OF course, it is i'm
possible for them co get over the falls, and
thus it happens that, although eels have
always been plentiful in Lake Ontario.
There were none in Lake Erie until they
were planted in the latter body of water
