 Than on Monday.
 New York, March 12,-Stocks to-day were very irregular and the sales were considerably smaller than yesterday, The opening was weak on account of lower prices from London. The decline at this time was equal to 1s@1A per cent, Louisville and Nashville, Jersey Central, Manhattan, Tobacco and the grangers making the largest losses, Subsequently, firmer tone prevailed, owing to the declaration Of the regular dividends by the Manhattan and Chi cago and Northwestern directors and a belief that the New York Central will on Friday declare it's usual dividend In the matter of the St. Paul dividend the street has settled down to the opin- ion that the directors will order the payment of 1 per cent. on the common stock as usual,
 A better demand for cotton and grain also had a good influence on the mar ket for stocks, and the failure of Me Kim & Go. yesterday led to covering of short contracts by timid bears. The improvement in prices ranged from fl to 21s per cent.

Reminiscenoes of an old Johnny Reb.

 The banjo was in use long before the day of Joe Sweeney. It was principal ly played by the negroes, and was in deed a rude instrument. The first one I ever saw was made in this way: A large gourd covered with raw sheep skin served for the drum, and the strings were of horse-hair, pulled from a white horses tail 1t had only four strings, I am confident that Sweeney added the bass string. My fathers carriage-driver was a banjo-player. He played two or three changeless tunes on one cord. I saw Joe Sweeney for the first time about 1S42, while was at school at Prince Edward Court house. He and his brother sam were together Joe led on the violin and Sam played the banjo. Both had good voices, especially Sam, rich, full bar itone of great sweetness and power. Even at this distant day I can recall some of the tunes they sang-"Old Dan DO Johnnie Booker" "Juli- anna Johnson" "Oh, Susana," "The B1ue-Tailed Fly" Jim Crack Corn and I Don't Care"

The SnoWba!ler.

The late snow is Just the kind which

BOYS are making the most Of it.
The Chinese and the Indians COM
plain that they are singled out as a
special mark for snowballing. but we
opine that everybody gets it sin the
neck" about alike. The new State
officers get it good and hard' and
even the deputies do not escape. The
writer saw Supreme Judge get a
swat in the ear yesterday, and the man
is wise, who when he gets hit passes
quietly along and makes no row about
it. Trouble with a crowd Of snow
balling small boys. is not desirable
proposition and the sooner you get
that figured out the better.
We were all boys ourselves once,
and took a delight in snowtalling
older persons. The writer recalls the
time when in 1861 in Newark, New
Jersey, he smacked theMayor Of the city
square in the ear at 60 yards and only
took one shy at him.
OF course we felt very sorry for it
seven or eight years after, when we
began to realize that it was not the
correct thing. When You get q dose
Of the beautiful, done up in COM
pact ball, instead Of filling the air
with unproductive profanity, console
yourselves with the reflection that in q
few years from now, the boy who did
it win regret the circumstance, and
wish that he had hit you somewhere
else or earlier in the morning.
