for Harper's Magazine, has somewhere

he has put out-a sort of mental cache, in
which he has stored certain curious col
lections of out.of-the-way knowledge from
which he draws from time to time for the
amusement and edification of the less
erudite. The present little volume COM
prises fifteen essays, in which Mr.. Hutton
traces the origin of some of our modern
games and customs, and the beginning OF
the observance OF some OF the days we
celebrate.
Some of the essays are very interesting.

First Mortgage 6 per cent Bonds,
DUE JULY 1896.

We have bought $633,00O Maine

offers the holders Of Leeds and Far
mington 6's, the opportunity to ex-
change the same for the former on
the following favorable terms.

will deliver Maine Central Consol. as

ing in exchange an equal number of
Leeds and Harrington bonds, allow
ing par and per cent accrued in

The above is equivalent to selling
the Leeds & Pennington bonds on a
3 rs per cent interest basis, and OBJ
tanning the long consolidated as at
par, by using the premium obtained
on the former in purchasing the As.
We beg to call attention to the
fact that these 4 per cent bonds are
now practically first mortgage on
the road, as there will be only ST.
253,So0 outstanding when the
Leeds & Pennington are converted |
out Of total OF $9,00O,00O, to take
the place Of prior lien bonds; in five
years this balance will have been re-
tired and the consolidated mortgage
become first lien.
The saving in the interest charges
in the next few years is approx
mately $4,000; this is in addition to
amount saved in 1894 of 1000,
making total OF nearly 100000 or
2 per cent on the stock; increasing
the present net earnings to over
100000 or 10 per cent on the capt.
tai; 6 per cent. is now paid, the bal
ance going to surplus und improve

We recommend the proposed ex-
change at this time, the holders
thereby obtaining long, choice Sc
curity at a moderate cost.

The climate. the nature of the country

are very exhausting upon the Spanish
forces. Before the rebellion is subdued
the country must be swept practically
clear of the insurrectionists. So tremen-

gun with flourish of trumpets has
collapsed, because the Chicago grand jury
has failed to find an indictment. This
result might have been expected in view
of the results of previous prosecutions OF
so-called trusts, all of which have failed.
The truth is that the trusts employ the best
talent obtainable to organize them and it
is rarely they overstep the letter of the
law SO as to become amenable to it. The
pressure of a hostile opinion is likely to
break them down in the long run, but

others were damaged, and the two

an explosion to the wharf boats and
the Carrolton, which was next to the
Big Sandy, could not pull out in time
to save herself. All other boats in the
harbor pulled out and proceeded to
fight the fire. No one was injured or
killed on the landings and the river
