MUNDANE MEANDERINGS.

CLEVELAND JAN 35th. 1882.
Electric cars have come to stay. Never since
the introduction OF the system has 1T been put
to so severe deep snow test at this point, as
during the past tWOlweeks. Many thought the
deep snow would stop the cars, but the cars
continue to glide almost as rapidly and quietly
alon as boys coasting sled on the down trip
The sanding, sailing, and sweeping OF the car
tracks, however, is death to the sleighlng, and
even the most elegant turnouts hunt the Dack
alleys, while the tramway barrows own the
town.
Caution used to be virtue. 1t has become
unpopular. however, in these latter days. Sup

peoule (the flower of the place should get ou!

for taking such precaution Yet such simple
ordinary prudence, or something like it, in
eros sing railway tracks. would have saved
scores of lives in the past few months. In all
matters recklessness is far too much the rule
while the appalling array of accidents due to
carelessness is equal to the drain of great war,

Touches of Human Nature.

A woman always respects the judg-
ment of the man who tells her that she
is prettier than other women.
When a man begins to try to find
out why woman is blue the chances
are pretty good that he will end by be-
ing blue himself.
The man who is the most skeptical
of other people is usually the man who
is most surprised because other people
do not put their trust in him.
If men were put under solemn oath
before they were allowed to tell fish
stories or make love this world would
be great deal less interesting than it
is now.

the music of the future, but it must be
remembered that Wagner then had

Somehow woman who has lost her
power over man who loved her once
never blames herself for his detection.
She always puts the blame either on
mans Inconsistency in general or on
some other woman.-LOuiSUiite Journal.

Name.
Review of the Market.

Henry Clews' weekly Financial Review
issued today says during the past week much o.
the business on the stock exchange has grown
ont of the efforts Of the ''bcar' operators to
get out of the false position in which they had
placed themselves by over-discounting the
worst probabilities connected with the late
storms and the crop situation. Large amounts
OF "short' contracts have had to be covered,
and that, in the face of buying orders from
London and also from outside operators Ap-
parently the "short" interest has been mainly
covered. excepting in one or two specialties,
such as Rock Island and c., B. l. O.; ard the
demand thus induced has caused general ad-
vance in prices. The rise IN value has brought
out a moderate amount of long stock, which
for the moment checks the upward movement:
but the predominant feeling Is one of increased
confidence. The report Of the Department of
Agriculture on the condition of the growing
crops removes the past misgivings to the
prospects Of wheat. The corn crop still re-
mains in 30 much uncertainty that it il out of
the question to venture upon any approximate
estimate in respect to it; the most sanguine re-
ports, however, do not pretend to compare il
with that of last year. The situation Of the
cotton crop cannot be regarded rs satisfactory.
We learn that at Liverpool arrangements are
in contemplation for taking up the American
option business, il it by law becomes prohibited
in this country. This would give to England
the complete control of the cotton markets Of
the world, seriously to the cotton growers detri-
ment in this country. In spite, however, of
the uncertainties at present surrounding our
promise Of another wear Of abundance. which is
calculated to strengthen our Investments and to
stimulate the reyiving European demand for
them.

EDITOR JONES MENTIONED.
The st. Louis "Republic's" Chief is Not q
Candidate for the Vice Presidency.


The st. Louis "Republic's" Chief is Not q
Candidate for the Vice Presidency.
ST.. LOUIS. Mo-, June Especial kilograms
received here by afternoon papers yesterday
contained statements to the effect that for some
days there had been talk among democrats in
New York and elsewhere of the nomination at
Chicago Of a journalist for Vice President, as
Mr.. Reid had been selected for that Office by the
republicans, and that among others the name of
Editor Charles II. Jones of the st. Louis Re-
public bad been mentioned. An Associated
Press representative called upon Mr. Jones to
make some inquiries regarding the matter
"Is this the drst news you have read regard
ing this matterf" he was asked.
NO." he replied; ~ have received q score or
more Of letters and kilograms regarding the
matter within the last three days. The first
intimation had was on Wednesday night, when
learned through q dispatch from New York
that the matter was being agitated aud
that some Of Mr.. Cleveland's friends
and my own were mentioning my name; also
that telegram concerning 1t had been sent
ont from New York. was asked what
my views concerning the matter were
and my answer that such an idea
had never entered my mind. and that
there are other democrats in the west who
could be relied upon to add greater strength
to the ticket and who had aspirations in that
ureCuOu, Wuue uuu none. i nave answered
only a few of these letters and kilograms and
my answer has been that am not a candidate
and, a. delegate to the convention, 1 expect
to support some one who is a candidate"
"Should the nomination come to you would
you see fit to accept"
"My answer is that nominations to an ex-
allied Office like that Of vice president do not
come in that way. am quite sure that shall
not be called upon either to accept or decline
the nomination for the Vice Presidency, and
am not giving the matter any thought. What
l am most interested In Just now is the plat
form to BIO adopted by the convention"
