NEW YORK, March IL --BradRtreets Review
of ths New York stock markets says The un-
expected passage Of the Bland seisniorage bill
has been leading feature in connection with
the stock markets this wuek. The adoption OF
the bill by the senate was fully anticipated, it
being shown by the renewed tone of the sitne-
tion and the falling off OF public interest. The
market throughout was much quieter than last
week, although prices have receded very ma.
teriallv, the underlying tone of strength being
asserted in the face of renewal of beaIish
efforts to create q depression, and in some In
stances, particularly among the low priced rail
road shares. disposition TO advance has been
exhibited. The strength of exchange created
the usual anticipations of gold shipm ents, but
ately as light as the supply of CONNIE erciai
drawings, and nnother week passed without
the announcement OF sny gold engagements

"AND YOU'LL REMEMBER ME-"


One cyoning as the sun went down
Among the golden hills,
And silent shadows soft and brown.
Crept over wales and rills,
watched the duslSy bats awning
Dip down he duslzy lea;
Hardening, heard maiden sing:
And you'll remember me-
when other lips and other hearts,
Came drifting through the trees;
In language whose excess imparts,n
Was borne upon the breeze.
Ali love is sweet AMI hope is strong,
And life's o summer sea.
A woman's soul Is in her song:
And you'll remember me.
Still ripping from the throbbing throat,
With JOY akin 10 pain.
There seemed tear in every note.
sob in every strain;
Soft as the twilight shadows creep
Across the listless lea,
The singer sang her love to sleep
With: you'll remember me-

sPEEDlsR THAN IN AMERICA.
Telegraphic Business In England Conn
pared with That In This Country.

| Photographic Business In England Conn
pared with That in This Country.
William H. Preece, the celebrated
I English electrician, visited Chicago
and other American cities last year,
and recently published paper in
which the Geographic systems of the
two countries are compared. Mr..
Preece says:
st is quite impossible to inspect the
telegraph system of the United States
and compare it with our own system
without drawing comparisons about
the way in which the work is done in
the two countries. The result of my
visit was to confirm my views that we
do our work better in England than
they do in the states. Our apparatus
is better, our speed is higher. Mes
sages are handled with greater relia-
bility A message can be sent and it's
reply received with certainty in IN
hour in England. fancy such rapid
ity would astonish the users of the
telegraph in the states, except those,
in such busy centers as New York and
Chicago, and generally the speculative
branches of the community. The do
nestle telegram scarcely seems to
have reached the United States, and
this is owing probably to the fact that
the districts of private residences, the,
small towns and the villages do not,
possess telegraph offices unless they
are supplied by the railway company
at the railway station or by the West
ern Union company, who do the work
for the railway company.
II fail to see any superiority in the
skill of American OPP
orators. They certainly have
not made the same advance
in technical education that we
have, and altogether it may be said
that the management of the tele-
graphs in the hands of private enter
prise does not compare favorably with
The management of the telegraphs by
the state at home. At the same time
It must not be assumed, because the
government has advantageously taken
The telegraphs in hand at home, that
such q process would be possible in the
states, In my opinion it would be alb
olutely impossible. The civil service
IT the United States is in very
haotic condition The principal APP
continents are four-year appointments
MY and are filed politically.
The reason why our post Offices and
ur telegraph Offices at home work SO
veil is because the public exercises
UGH useful and such determined
supervision over the work The free
pening of the press to complaints;
he readiness with which members OF
he house of commons ask questions
hough at times, perhaps, irritating
nd vexatious-are undoubtedly good
or the service, for they keep us all
live. Such a state of affairs is impos-
BILE in the states. The governmental
he United States must first reform its
vii service and when it gets officials
ito the service whose tenure of office
secure and whose zeal is as uneues-
oned as it is in England, then there
i'll be some chance of their govern
ent acquiring the telegraphs; but
lder existing circumstances the ac-
lfsitfon of the teiegrapns by the gov
nment of the United States would
Mount virtually to the deterioration

Senator Voorhees, says of Lincoln:
HE had great laugh-a high, music

small of his back and the other rub
blng his hair in all directions, and

General Agent Sheldon Jackson has
made special report to the president
concerning the introduction of Sibe-
rian reindeer into Alaska by the gov
ernment The plan is pronounced
thoroughly successful, though slow
progress has been made owing to lack
Of sufficient appropriations. During
last summer 1877 reindeer were pur.
chased in Siberia, 1874 of which were
safely landed at the station. This
made total of $40 in September
Herds of 100 reindeer each have been
given to four mission stations; and dis
tribution to various other stations will
follow as the herd increases. The
statements that the superstition of the
Siberian natives would prevent the
purchase of live reindeer that deer
could not survive transportation. that
it is impossible for them to thrive In
Alaska, and that the Alaskan DOGS
would scatter and destroy them, has
been disproved by experience.
