Dog Intlulgence.

The creation of something like q lan- guage among our civilized dogs has nat urally been accompanied by the devel- opment of an understanding of human speech. Although we cannot attach much importance to the mass of anec- dote on this point, there is enough which is well attested, sufficient indeed which has come within the limits of my own observation, to make 1t clear that dogs, even without deliberate teaching, frequently acquire tolerably clear un- derstanding of a number of words, and even of short phrases. They will catch these not only when given in distinct command, but when uttered In an ordi- nary tone without any sign that they relate to their affairs. It is true that these understood words generally relate to some action which the dog is accus- toned to perform, yet there are instan- ces so well .attested that they deserve credit, which seem to show that the creatures can get some sense of the drift of conversation even when 1t is are not familiar and does not clearly re-, late to their own affairs.
 An extremely human characteristic of our canine friends is shown in their susceptibility to ridicule. Faint traces of this quality are to be found in mon- keys, and perhaps even in the more in- telligent horses, but nowhere else save in man, and hardly there, except in the more sensitive natures, do we find con tempt, expressed in laughter of the kind which conveys that emotion, so keenly and painfully appreciated. With those dogs which are endowed with large human quality, such as our various breeds of hounds.it is possible by laugh ing in their faces not only to quell their rage, but to drive them to distance. They seem in a way to be put to. shame, and at the same time hopelessly pug zled as to the nature of their predica- ment. In this connection we may note the very human feature that after you have cowed a, dog by insistent laughter you can never hope to make friends with him.-Prof. N. $. Shaler"in Scrib- nor

The Publication of the Presidents Views
 on the Financial situation Led to q
 Change for the Better.
 New York, June h6i-There was change for the better in stock circles today as the result of the publication of President Cleveland's views on the financial situation. The first effect of its publication was witnessed in the cessation of foreign selling of American se- curities, which has been prominent char aeteristic of the past weeks operations. In fact European traders turned mp as buyers of it's specialties, taking about ten thousand shares of St. Paul and other international favOrites. This buying as well as a little for local accounted to rise in the early dealings of A to 13s per cent, General Electric, Erie, the Changers, Louisville and Nashville, Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific and Western Union scoring the largest gains. J. Plerpont Nor gan's statement that the situation abroad had improved, and that the foreigners were sim ply waiting for q better condition of affairs here before branching out, was not without its influence
 In the afternoon Missouri Pacific, Cordagc, General Electric and Lead all ran off < to 24 per cent, but the general market held firm. While the feeling for the moment is bulllsh, operators are not disposed to extend their lines until tariff matters are disposed of.
 Speculation closed firm and Ii to 114 per cent higher, the latter in Lake Shore, which rose to 133 on light transactions. Colorado Coal and Iron development sold down to 5@0T from 13, the last reported sale.

SENATOR VANCE is DEAD
NORTH CAROLINA MOURNS HI r
GREAT LOSS.
Faithful Friend and Citizen Gone
Passed Away in washington
Saturday Night


Saturday Night.
Senator Zebulon Baird Vance, North
Cardinals favorite son, is dead
That is 1.-THE sad news received in
Winston from Washington early Sun
day morning.
He died at his residence, 1927 Mas
sachusetts avenue, Washington City,
at 1O:45 Saturday night.
Senator Vance had been in bad
health for the past year.
About noon on Saturday he had a
stroke of apoplexy. The stroke sent
the blood to the brain and after that
time he was unconscious. His ply
sicians at once realized that there was
no hope of his recovery.
A few months ago the Senator was
compelled to abandon his Senatorl al
duties and take trip to FLORIDA IN
, the hope of recuperatlng. HIS trip
proved beneficial and on his return to
Washington he was able for awhile to
partially resume his official duties,
Ills improvement, however, dld not
continue long, and for tue last few
weeks was confined to his house. He
was practically an invalid, but has
lately been able to receive few init
mate friends and superintend the
looking after of the interests of his
constituents.
During the past week he has been
reported doing well as could be ex-
pected and the serious change for the
worse Saturday was wholly unexpect-
ed.
Senator Ransom and Repro sentative
Henderson, Of the Seventh North
Carolina district, and Il few other
close friends spent the greater part of
the evening in the parlors of the
Vance residence and waited anXiOuSly
for tidings from the sick room. They
left about half an hour before the
Senator died and were notified by
messengers of his dea6h.
Those present at Senator Vance's
death-bed were Mrs. Vance, Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles N. Vance, Harry Mar
tin, Marshal Allison, Judge HOke,
Miss Hoke, Rev. DR.. Bitter, DrS. w.
w. johnson and Sterling Rutlin.
WILL DE BURIED IN AsHEvILLE.
The remains Of Senator Vance, af-
ter lying in state in Raleigh, and pos
sibly Charlotte, will be sent to Ashe-
vile for interment, where his first
wife, his father and mother and Inc
child are buried.

TRADE IN THE SOUTH.
Encouraging Advices Reported by
Eradstreet's Agency.

Increasing purchases in leading
lines at Savannah, Birmingham, Mo
bile and Atlanta are features, and
consumers at those points are buying
more extensively for cash. Collections
South are said to show improvement
very generally. Encouraging advices
are received from the Jacksonville
vegetable section, but strawberry
shipments are light and wholesale
business is fairly active, although
Northern travel is lighter. No spe-
cial change is noted at Galveston,
Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga or
Charleston. Business is fair only at
New Orleans, orders received being
numerous but small, and transactions
in rice most conspicuous. There is an
increasing request for cotton yarns,
shoes, morocco and leather at Phila-
delphia. Baltimore jobbers state the
bills due April 1st have been discount.
ed with considerable freedom. The
industrial situation is more compli.
Gated and less encouraging.

Sena tor Vance's Successor.

A special to the Atlanta Constitu-
tinn from Raleigh says q friend of
Coy. Carr, in conversation with the
latter reports him as saying that he
will take no action on the matter of
appointment OF Senator Vance's sue
cessor until delicacy permits him to
do so, but will net delay longer than
longer. He says this much however:
lie ascertained from the Governor
that the appointee must be chosen
from among those who believe in the
redemption of every pledge Of the
platform as construed by the people
of North Carolina and by Senator
Vance himself, and that only such a
man will the Governor appoint.

A GREAT LOSS TO TIE SENATE.
hfr. Vance's Death Removes One of Its
Ablskt Members

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE death
of Senator Vance robs the Senate of
so much Of individuality as to greatly
emphasize the loss. Since the death
OF Mr.. Beck, no Senator has died who
deprived the body Of so much of that
quality-a quality Of which there has
been q diminishing quantity since
man began to reach The Senate for
other reasons than great political
ability and character. Mr.. Vance
was one of the powers of his State.
controlling the people by his fascinat-
ing ability as speaker and by skill
in convincing them upon the stump,
in which he was unequaled by any
North Carolinian of recent days.
Big, some what brusque, plain spok-
en-, straightforward, Mr.. Vance was
a man of some very warm and thor
oughly crCditable impulses, loyal to
his friends and dangerous and effect
i've antagonist.
There has been no more earnest sup
porter or more interesting 2 dvucate for
tariff reform in the Scnaie than Sena-
tor Vance. His speeches on tariff
bills have always been interesting to
listen to, being, like all his speeches,
| copiously interspersed with anecdotes
most apt in illustration. The faculty
of employing humorous illustrations
was possessed by him in remarkable
degree, and has always been an insep-
cradle characteristic of his oratory in
Congress, as well as on the stump, and
it accounted for his power to attract
crowds all over his State during cam
paignS. His fund of stories, in which
people were associated curiouSly for
the purpose of enforcing his argument
seemed to be inexhaustible, and the
stories were always new.
The death OF Senator Vance makes
it necessary for the Democrats of the
Senate to provide a new Chairman for
the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, new member of the Com
mittee on Finance, and places on
three other less important commit
tees held by him. Senator Gray
stands next OF the Elections Commit
tee, and may be promoted to be its
head. Senator Vance was the fourth
member Of the Committee on Finance.
