STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Feb. 2j.-The bears We're
more aggressive at the Stock exchange
and their increased activity and the con-
sequent decline in prices was due TO The
passing of the Canadian Pacific to the
nondividend paying list, the practical de-
feat of the Patterson pooling bill IN the
senate on Saturday last and the firm
ness of sterling exchange. Actual rates
are now higher than at any time since
the bond syndicate began its operation,
and the selling figures are close ON to the
gold exporting points. The bearish feel
ing was intensified by rumorS that the ST.
Paul will pass its dividend. There was
some selling of the general list on rumorS
of an extra session of congress, Il belief
obtaining in some quarters that the ap-
preparation bills will fail because of lack
of time and that the president Will have 10
call the new congress together II only to
enact these measures. Canadian Pacific
naturally led the list in point of decline,
the stock selling down Sl9 per cent. to Al,
only 600 shares having been traded In.
The decline in the usually active issues
was equal to Il to 1si per cent. Delaware

Desertions from the Navy

The statement has been recently made
that twelve hundred sailors deserted
from the navy last year. This is the
proportion of one desertion for every
seven enlisted men. The explanation is
that we cannot keep men in the service
without some encouragement; that the
men realize there is no future for them;
that they get discouraged and desert in
order to enter some other vocation. 1t
is claimed by those who have given the
matter some thought that, if the men
knew that continued and honorable
service would ultimately lead to some
post CT preferment in the navy, they
would remain. These theorists seem to
take no account of the fact that deser-
lions from merchant-ships are and al
ways have been quite as common as
those from the navy. The fact is, Jack
is a rowing chap who is always looking
for a new and more lenient master.

Presidential Heads.

Washington's hair was long and
gray.
Garfield was bald and his hair of q
semi-blOnde color.
John Tyler was fine haired and he
was fne-looking man.
Jefferson had red hair and we are
told that he was freckled
William Henry Harrison combed his
hair we'll to the front of his ears, and
he was gray at the time he was elected.
President Lincoln did not pay much
attention to his hair and most of his
pictures represent it as rather long.
1t was dark and strait.
John Adams wore a wig, and his
son, John Quincy Adams, had the
baldest hcai which ever rested on the
pillows of the White House.
Some of Jeilerson's portraits repre-
sent him with his hair hanged in front
and coming down over his forehead in
the style of the dude of to-day.
President Arthur had dark hair,
which was growing gray when he left
the White House. He kept it well
conf bed back from his face and wor
it short.
President Cleveland's hair is brown
and thin. He wears it short and
combs it up from his forehead. His
head is bald at the crown, and it's
badness is said to be daily increasing.
Frank Pierce had thick curly hair
which fell down upon his forehead.
His head is bald at the crown, and its
badness is said to be daily increasing.
Frank Pierce had thick curly hair
which fell down upon his forehead, and
James Buchanan kept his gray head
well trimmed, combing his hair so as
to show to the full his high, open
brow.
Polk patterned after Jackson in
combing his hair straight back with
hardly part, and both Fillmore and
Taylor parted their hair on the left
side of the head, while Frank Pierce
parted his boldly on the right.
Everyone knows how Jackson's hair
stood up all over his head as straight
and stiff as the quilts of a porcupine.
but all are not aware that he was as
gray as badger during hls presiden-
tial term, and his hair was as fine as
the thInnest strands of spun silver.

the cadi's judges, nodded to their chief,
and he addressed the foremost of the
party. who quickly explained what had
taken place at the entrance to the sa-
cred temple. The knife, still rocking
with the blood of the Berber''s victim,
was handed TO the cadi. Holding the
sinister weapon, so all could look at 1t,
he then shook it in the prisoners face,
demanding what excuse he had for do
ing the deed.
"As defiant as ever the accused faced
his judge, speaking few words in his
hasty way, which my guide interpreted
to mean that he had killed the man in
self-defense and that he gloried in the
deed. This was answered by an impa
tient wave of the hand, and the doomed
man was led away.
" rs that all the trial he will have?'
asked.
ALL, was the terse reply.
What will be done with him?'
He will be taken to the dungeon
what then?'
T" He will stay there until he is taken
out to be stoned to death
"Loath to lose sight of the naughty
Berber. whom 1 must confess had
aroused my admiration by his bold, in
dependent spirit, though l could not
hold him blameless for his act, I fol-
lowed the officers and their charge
from the court along one of the streets
to the entrance Of the dark, gloomy
prison, whose history was a tale of the
blacklist horror. Before this terrible
place the party halted, while the sound
of rafting keys came to my ears as the
Jailer unlocked the massive door. AS
the iron-bound door creaked on it's
hinges foul stencil suddenly swept
over the scene, and hideous cries and
groans came from within.
For the first time the Berber showed
signs of weakening, and as his captors
pushed him forward toward the dark
entrance of the tomb-like dungeon he
shrank back. Muttering bitter male
dictions, the Moors were about to
thrust him bodily into the place, when
something very unexpected, if not mys-
FERROUS, happened.
In the intense excitement Of the
affair, no one had seemed to notice the
approach of a horseman, but at that
moment coal-black horse and rider
doomed up beside the prisoner. The
rider was boy of not more than fif
teen, perhaps less, and he Showed that
he was son of the doomed man.
AT sight of him the Berber suddenly
flung off his captors, and with mighty
bound he was aStride of the powerful
steed. Then, before the amazed Moors
had recovered from their surprise, the
boy rider was urging his black horse
furiously through the crowd.
OF course great excitement instant
ly reigned, and weapons of all kinds
flashed in the air. and furious rushes
were made for the escaping twain, but
all in vain. Soon breaking through the
mob, the Berbers found comparatively
an open course, and the last I saw of
them they were but a speck on the dis
tant plain. The Moors mounted in hot
pursuit, but as they came back as
empty-handed as they went felt con-
fident the fugitives had made good
their escape. 1 cannot say 1 was sor-
ry, and l have often thought / would
like to meet that brave boy Berber,
who risked so much for his fathers
sake
