Consul-General Williams.

Washington, April 15.-United states Consul-G eneral Ramon Williams has been granted the customary sixty days leave of absence from his post at Havana after application by letter to the state department, but it is not. known here whether he will make use of the priv ilege or not
 Williams has always secured his an- nual leave. but on several occasions has failed to make use of 1t.
 General Calleja, governor-generai or Cuba, with whom Williams had the alter cation which led the recently superseded Spanish cabinet to complain to this gov ernment about the consul-generai, has himself been recalled to Spain. It is understood that the new Spanish cabinet has not supported the complaint made by it's predecessors in regard to the consul general. However, MT. Williams Is under stood to have had enough of his official position in Cuba, which he has held over ten years. and that he has determined to settle in Brooklyn, where his family live. It would, therefore, not be surpris- ing if he resigned at the expiration of his leave of absence.

New York Stock Market.

NeW fork, AprI1 Misrepresentation at the Stock exchange was decidedly strong again today, and besides business was on a larger scale than of late. The sales of stocks aggregate POT ,90i shares, while in bonds the saless reached the enor- nous total of 2,3S2, ,000 the business being unusually well distributed.
 The feeling was confident, President Clevelands letter in which he again de- clared himself in favor of a sound cur fency having much to do with the appre- citation in the prices of securities. The latter was interpreted as meaning that the radical silver men in the next con- gress will not find their path as smooth as expected.
 The rise in grain, cotton and petroleum also made many bulls, and the fact that the iron market is looking up had it's in- nuence.
 From abroad reports were received that American stocks and bonds were in better favor, and these statements were backed up by orders from Europe for specialtes, such as Louisville and Nash vile, St. Paul, Denver, preferred, and Northern Pacific.
 Local commission houses reported a better inquiry from home operators, and in fact the market showed broadening tendency.
 Prices advanced 1a to 15s per cent for the railway list, the grangers be- ing especially prominent, owing to the closing out of long outstanding shorts. m Ine NanuefD1flS, MlCnlSan central made new high record, selling up to 100 Lake Shore got above Saturdays figures and touched 142$s, the best in years. St. Paul and Omaha preferred, which has not been traded for weeks brought 1091s. The last sale before to- day was at 104. The anthracite coalers ruled strong. There was no meeting of the presidents today, owing to the ab- sense, on account of illness, of one of the Reading receivers In the indus trials Sugar moved up to 1, to l03%0 104B, -the statement by a leading Of ficial that the demand for reiine had improved being mainly responsible for ahe rise.
 The Suns Review.
 New York, April 15.-The Suns cotton review says Cotton advanced 22 to "A points and closed strong, with change will not be open until Wednes- day New Orleans advanced 20 to q points. Spot cotton here was steady at an advance of A cent. with sales of 5610 bales for spinning and 100 bales for de- liveries on contracts The southern spot markets were generally firm and higher. New Orleans, Savannah, Norfolk, Au- gusta and St. Louis advanced 7s and Mo bile and Baltimore A cent.
 The port receipts today were 2O605 bales, against 15,3l4 this day last week and LOTT last year; thus far this week they are 29, 006 bales, against 2S, ,626 thus far last week. The exports from the ports were 2260 bales to the continent. Receipts at New Orleans tomorrow are estimated at $500 to 4500 bales, against 15.503 last week and 3143 last year.

A SAD SCENE.
A Story With Moral That WOnld be
Well TO Remember,

A Story With a Moral That WOnId be
Well TO Remember.
Spencer Bulletin.
Grey headed old man, about 60.
Has always been honest, hard work
ing and has saved enough of this
worlds goods TO make him comfort
able during the sunset of life. He
and his family living quietly and
happy, when along comes a young,
stout and conceited neighbor spec
ulator who wants a little ready cash
or wants to make what he thinks is
a good trade. He asks his old neigh-
Dor to go his security (that is to
pay the debt he is about to contract
ifyoung man cannot or will t,as he
chooses). Honorable old man hesi-
tates, but after many fair and fiat
tering promises from the young ras-
cal finally writes his name to a good
sized note. Old man is not quite
satisfied that he has done the prop
er thing for himself aud family, but
time passes on note becomes due,
young man cannot or will not pay
his just debt. Note is put in the
hands of an officer for collection.
Suit is brought and judgment rem
dered against young and old man
for debt and costs. Officer reports
that young man has no property
out of which debt can be made, he
having made way with it or fraudu-
lently covered it up. Nothing is
left for officer to do but 10 levy on
old mans property. Levy is made;
old man and his family are troub-
led. Good old man worries him
self sick, takes his bed and in few
days dies. After the clods cover
his face the property is taken from
his family and sold to pay another
mans debt. The above is sad
but true story of the accursed
practice of agreeing to pay other
mems debts by going their security,
and it was acted out in this county
but short time ago. Names OF
the actors of this sad affair could be
given but it wonld grieve the al
ready wronged.

The Farmers Lie.

The most humble farmer is a king
if he only knew it. Even in these
times of depression the supply of
comforts are only limited by his
own efforts. He had the opportu-
nifty 10 grow his own fruit and veg
etables which are the chief luxuries
of life. He need not be particular
about his every day dress. Very
warm clothing is only necessary in
these days of coldest weather, and
the good old family COW and horse
would receive good care and atten-
ton from their master when he is
very commonly dressed. If he nn-
dertook to wear broad cloth, a high
collar, etc, the creatures out of
due sense of propriety, would look
at him in surprise and wonderment.
It is not out of place for a farmer to
wear old clothes and consequently
he can consistently practice eeon6s
my III luis respect. HOW utuerent
is city life. You must dress we'll
every day or be classed with the
lowest. In business the mind and
nerves are strained to the utmost
tension to secure a livelihood. fit
is possible at all to keep out of debt,
good wholesome food must be sacri-
feed to buy clothing and keep up
general appearances. We are now
speaking of people who must work
in order to make an honest living.
Which class of the two is the most
Independent and happy2 Reason
would say the humble farmer. He
is lord of the situation.
