FALL IN COTTON.

Speculation showed the price Of cot
ton up too high, and consequently
there was panic and drop or nearly
cent a pound in that staple, notwith-
standing the small crop. No panic in
wheat can ensue from the same cause
at present.-Minneapolis Tribune.
But the good times continue just
the same! OF course Speculation
showed it up but what showed it
down? Was it the increased purchas-
ing power of gold? or course not.

Testimony was introduced showing
that of $4,000 in notes held by the
bank, $lO7 900 was no t worth the paper

runer.l Honor. for . DOG.

"Black," the beloved dog of an Amer
lean lady and gentleman living at Vau-
cresson, outside of Paris, during the
summer, having died recently was
buried, says Paris letter, with the full
funeral honors usually accorded to hui
man beings. The canine pet was placed
in two caskets-one of oak, the other
leaden-was then conveyed in hearse
covered with flowers to Vaucresson
and there buried. The funeral was
followed by the Americans and their
friends, all the mourners being in car
riages. A monument, which cost sixty
pounds sterling, was erected to the
memory Of the lost favorite. The ex-
penses Of the caskets, the funeral, the
tomb and the memorial amounted to
one hundred pounds sterling. The un-
dertaker who carried out the order was
rather puzzled at first, and mentioned
the matter to a police commissary, who
advised him to get death certificate OF
the dog signed by two witnesses. This
counsel was followed by the Pompes
Funebres official, who was thus able to
fulfill his contract without any fear OF
interference ON the part of the repre-
sentatives of the law.

Railroad FinaI.cicring.

The chicauery of railroad Gnancers
continues unaba.ed, says the American
Agriculturist. OF late years it has
taken the form Of ''reorganizating" rail-
roads that had previously been so over
capitalized as to no longer permit of
further ileecing investors except by new
devices. These 'reorganizations' are
always manipulated by bankers who
receive enormous commissions, and
whose interests closes the moment they
get their pay. The usual result Of these
operations is simply to pile more stocks
and bonds upon au already overloaded
property. The Atchison system has al
|ready gone through two of these eX-
puleuces, in which ccttain bankers
waXed fat, but the railroad was left
ieaner than ever. Now third Atchi-
son reorganization is under way upon
the same old principles. Another glar-
ing instance is the present attempt to
rehahi!itate the Erie railroad, of un-
savury reputation. by assessing the
stockholders 10000, 900, for which they
are to receive that amount in bonds and
500, 100000 In new stock In both
these. as in other cases, the original
stock was mostly water, and even the
bonds exceeded the cost Of the roads.
Hence the only right thing is to wipe
out all the stogk. and so reduce the
bonds that new securities may be sold
at par sufficient TO give these corpora
tions the cash they really need. Then
they eau carry freight aud passengers
at reasonable rates and still pay interest
on their actual value. This is the old
fashioned honest plan, but the methods
in vogue are more brilliant" \ day
of reckoning will come.

he was rewarded in the Caucasus for
treating his men as comrades and shar-
ing camp comforts with them. He
says: One chilly night among the
mountains nwoke at three o'clock to
find myself warm and snug under two
extra native blankets. The owners Of
the blankets were squatting on their
hams, almost in the fire, and talking to
pass the long, cold hours until dawn.
Having rated them for their folly and
made them take back their blankets
and turn in, l rolled over and slept
again. When next woke it was seven
o'clock, and the men were still crouch
ing over the embers, helping to cook
breakfast, their blankets having been
replaced upon my shoulders. had
paid these men off the day before this
happened and they left me the next
morning with hearty God be with

anything more than the proper thing
