NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

new YORK, Oct. 15.-The speculation
to-day was irregular in its course at the
outset and remained dull until practi-
cally the last hour when an animated
movement set in. The squirt carried the
record of business for the day above
yesterdays total. In some respects the
market was the exact contrast to that of
yesterday as, after some hesitancy at
the start, a strong tone developed which
was unimpaired up to the close of bust
ness. The improvement scored was, a.
the weakness of the previous day had
been, chiefly due to the operations of the
professionals. The trading in bonds was
characterized by considerable strength
and animation, the dealings aggregating
$2,158, 900.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The cotton mar

The early advance was the result of
good buying, largely the result of Eng
fish orders, and orders from the South
being particularly heavy in particular
from New Orleans. The higher
cables were explained as partly
due to predictions that Neill
Brothers would be out with a
$3.50, coo bale crop estimate. The mar
ket was further strengthened by cover
ing of shorts and the purchases for out
side account.
Yesterdays sellers were prominent as

ball. He lodges two outstretched hands,
no hears fall as tackler hurls him
self forward in the effort to grasp him.
He feels rather than hears the rush OF
feet behind him, his own men blocking
the other team as best they can. Above
it all is the roar Of the crowd, sounding
in his ears like the rush Of some huge
mass Of water over fall.
Ahl is running as he never ran be-
fore. He knows his pursuers are gain
ing and the goal line seems so far away.
Twice his captain has saved him by
blocking off a tackler, but at last he
goes down himself.
The goal line is drawing near. Will
he reach il? His breath comes in great
gasps; the field seems to be spinning
round like top. A few more steps only
now. Suddenly no Is seized from be-
hind. but, with superhuman exertion,
he hurls himself forward and slides
over tho goal line with two Of the op'
posing team upon him.
They have him at last, but it is too
late. The run is made and under his
breast the football rests upon the ground
beyond the goal line There is barely
time 10 kick goal, and the game is
won.

said 10 me-.
"Sir, beg your pardon.
For what?" | queried.
If have annoyed you or hurt your

"Then | am glad. | never hurt any

his hat off at once apologized in the

"Yes, perhaps. Down here on Ninth

The ROYAL stag.

The sun was shining brilliantly as at
midsummer, and | knew the snow
would speedily disappear off the hills.
Punctually ut s o'clock John made his
appearance, and off we started, full Of
hopeful anticipation. After three quar-
ters Of an hours climbing We spled the
eight pointer with his seraglio OF kinds
lying on the lee side Of small ridge.
Keeping low down 10 avoid disturbing
them, we circled round and continued
our ascent toward the summit. Careful
ly examining every bit of fresh ground
as il came in sight, We discovered some
hinds in small correi about half "A
mile distant. Expecting to find stag
with them, we advanced cautiously IN
their direction.
The nature Of the ground being ia
vorable, we had no difficulty in crawling
within 100 yards of the herd. John was
carrying the rifle, in which he bad put
couple of cartridges, and left part Of
the stock sticking ont sf the cover i'll
order To be ready for any emergency.
As we peered over rocky bowlder there
confronted us a scene worthy the brush
Of Landseer. A large red stag was
standing, with broadside exposed, lit
tie over 100 yards distant AT a Z lance
I observed it was twelve pointer. Be
tween 40 and 90 kinds We're feeding
around. These, however, l scarcely no.
ticed, my eyes being riveted on the fat
launches and symmetrical antlers of
the royal stag.
Without moving my body mechan-
ically reached forth my hand and seized
the rifle. Feeling that John held 1t
firm, | looked round to discover the
reason. Still keeping hold of the rife,
he whispered. 1T is the reserved stag.

Hnndel's Obstinacy.

A child's obstinacy does not always
bring as fortunate results as was the
case with Handel, the great musician.
His extraordinary resoluteness rs a boy
doubtless led to that great success which
crowned the later years Of his life.
When he was some years Of age, his
father had occasion 10 visit son by q
former wife, who was valet to the Duke
of SAKE weissenfels. Travelling in those
days--200 years ago-was tedious and
expensive, aud DIR. Handel did not de-
sire TO be delayed with the care OF an
infant" during journey which the
demands Of responsible profession
would probably make as short as posi-
BILE.
But tho future giant Of music would
go. He cried. beloved and eventually
ran along tho road after the vehicle, un-
til the tender feelings Of the doctor
could refuse no longer. In an evil mo-
ment for his Jurisprudence scheme he
took the child with him.
No sooner did the little fellow reach
the ducal residence than he gave rein TO
his fancy on the keys Of every instru-
ment that he found open. The remark
able music that came from the finger
tips Of the child's hands was soon the
object If wonder and conversation
throughout the palace, and all this was
intensified when he secured an opportu-
