 From the opening here the rise was continued. The market was buoyant until the last half hour and then boomed to the close on the bank state ment showing only half as much loss of surplus as was generally expected.
 Atchison was far and away most active, and is up full point but the sharpest rise among the best known issues was in Rock Island and Bur ington. Two distinct and large short interests one in each of these stocks-covered up to top figures.
 The Burlington thus bought in was sold for fall round S0-about fifteen points lower-and the Rock Island was put out round 73-about ten points lower.

Contrary. From the Youths Companion,

Not all of the residents Of Cape Cod are eccentric, as. those who are not familiar with the region might infer from the many stories which are told of queer characters there. But it is no doubt 8 fact that many Cape Cod people have strongly ac- centuated dispositions in one way or another.
 In Cotuit, many years ago, a local legend runs, Captain Barnabas Z--and his wife, Abigail, who were both queer after their way, lived at peace for good many years, be the 'contrariest woman on Cape Cod. :" Whatever was said or proposed she was almost sure to go against it
 But Captain Barnabas was as patient as his wife was contrary, and by dint of all ways allowing for his wife's disposition, and usually proposing the exact opposite of what he wished to do, he got along very comfortable for many years.
 But at last, on one evil day, when Mrs. Abigail Z- was down at the harbor visit ing reletive on board schooner then in the port, she fell overboord and sank in the water.
 Captain Barnabas was near by and was called in haste. He reached the spot and immediately went out in boat to search for his wife.
 "Look here!" some one called out franti- cally, seeing him push off. "Your going the wrong way of the tide! You're looking up the tide not down the tide."
 The captain kept on.
 ''Mebbe," said he calmly, "you wa'n't acquainted with Abigail. If 'twas any body else they'd "a gone with the tide, but bein' as it's Abigail reckon if she ain't gone ag'inst the tide it wa'n't her that fell imp
 This time Barnabas' philosophy was wrong. His wife's body was found next day down the harbor. For once she had gone with the tide.
