 Cables from London received before the opening showed a slight advance in American securities there. This stimulated purchases of the leading in- dustrials, Louisville and Nashville and St. Paul, and higher range of values immediately followed. The rising tend ency was checked by the announce ment of the closing of the Murray Hill bank, small institution working under state charter, uptown.
 The bears assumed active operations when this was announced, and under fairly liberal offerings the active stocks yielded from F to SIS per cent. In this decline Northwest suffered the heaviest lOSe, tlIG olOSh iieINiAiS pCSi SUM oA1 o7 mors of a probable reduction in the dividend rate.
 Tn the afternoon session, when money on call dropped to 3 per cent. on heavy offerings by brokers representing the leading banks and capitalists, the trad CTS concluded that the bank failure re- ferred to would have but little influence and started in to cover The purchases from this source were sufficient to bring about an advance of A@41s per cent. in the general market.

CAUGHT MANY BoNIES.

Fishing Steamers Make Big Hauls in
 the Thames.
 The New London Day of August 10 says: The Thames river was teeming with ponies this morning and the fish ing steamers Annie l.. Wilcox, George Hudson, Nat Strong, Ranger and Vesper spread their nets right off the city and took in thousands of the fish.
 The process of catching menhaden is very interesting one and large num- Der of spectators on either side of the river watched the men gather them in. There were four nets set at one time and each one had big catch. The Wilcox was exceptionally lucky se- curing an extra big haul.
 When school of fish is sighted two big boats carrying the net set off from the steamer and rowing in opposite directions soon have them enclosel in q circle of net. A man in a smaller boat directs the operations and remaining at the open end of the net scares the fish back until they are closed in. No soon- CT is the circle completed than the fish suspecting the danger that surrounds them, begin to look for d way to es- cape and the water in the circle of corks that holds up the net becomes violently agitated with their frantic struggles to get out.
 The men in the boats then begin to pull in the net and when they come to a fish caught in the meshes shake him back into the water When all the fish are crowed into a small compass the with a big scoop holding several bar rels.
 It is prettyl hot, asEweH as hard work, handling heGnetsgon aday like to-day but the men get used to all sorts of weather and do the heavy work with an ease that is surprising to the land I lubber spectator. x {t

Cases of years standing, which have been pronounced incurable, are daily being restored to health by this mysterious agent. Many of the worst cases cured, without the use ot medicine. simply by applying the hands to the afflicted parts, and driving rom the human frame, by means of their great magnetic power, the pain and suffering of years. Nervousness, weak and shattered nerves, tired brain, poor blood, debilitated system, nervous de- bility, nervous prostration, sleepless- ness, despondency, mental depression, hysteria, paralysis, numbness, trem- bling, neuralgia, rheumatism, pain in side and back, epileptic fits, St. Vitus' dance, palpitation of heart, nervous and sick headache, dyspepsia, indiges- tion, loss of appetite, constipation, bil- iousness, kidney and liver disease; bladder troubles a speciality.

OF THE FINNY TRIBE,
The Season Promises to be Banner
 One For Fishermen,

One For Fishermen,
 The present season promises to be the most prolific for fish within the mem ory of the oldest fishermen. Beginning early in June the f1nny beauties be- became unusually plentiful and at one time, in the early part of July, were glut on the market at any price, tons upon tons being destroyed or allawed to spoil and used for manure.
 Nor was this plenitude limited to any one particular species. Soup, DOT gies, bass, striped and black, cod, and all other kinds the briny sea is heir to run in shoals of millions, and fishermen fhereabouts were in high hook until the catches became so large that prices fell with drop loud enough to be heard way out on the ocean. Shippers who had been regularly shipping large or ders to New York and Boston, sudden ly. found themselves without a. market and the productive fish localities were, for a time, forsaken.
 
 the past few weeks, been most success full in the hunt for the mighty swords fish and 1t has been no rare occurrence for a little smack to poke her nose out beyond Block Island a little way, and return with fourteen or fifteen hun red weight of the big fellows for ship ment to Boston, or sale to 0 local firm
 Now the spuniy little bluefish are commencing to be heard from and in the next few days he will be as plenti- hereabouts, unless all signs fail. Shad. too, are as at first stated, unless some unforeseen casualty happens there will be more fish, fresh and salt, taken from nearby waters this year than have been for at least a score of years.

OTHER DAYS.

Alas! alas, for the days gone by,
OF the flaming cheek and the flash
ing eye;
OF the timid touch of the finger tips,
OF the petels blown from the poppy
lips!
When days were dreams. and nights
were long,
And life flowed on like rivers song,
Under a June days summer sky
Alas! alas! for the days gone by.
Alas alas! for the days gone by,
And, alas, that our youth should ever
die!
Good fortune may come, and evil may
go.
But nothing can woo back youth We
know.
Youth, with its fragrance, charm and
flush.
Goes like the lyric of last years
thrush.
Youth will laugh when it hears age
sigh
Alas! alas! for the days gone by,

NOVELTIES IN CHINA WARE.

The newest pate cups, which are
much crinkled in shape, are reproduc-
tions of old Minton in lovely shades Of
primrose yellow.
Vases, fern dishes and table center
picces of ruby glass, with gilt orna-
mentation, are attractive features in
Bohemian glassware.
For the center Of the table the round
or oval mirror is now supported by a
raised stand OF old silver, which rests
on delicately wrought claws, holding
crystal ball.
The newest dinner sets are marvels
of beauty, both in decoration and
with heavy relief of gold, seems TO be
the favorite color, while the shapes are
decidedly low and irregular in out
line.
There is revival of the beautiful
Mutton ware, and bullion cups, game
sets and pate cups are reproduced in
all the exquisite shades and designs.
Mounted in gold and decorated with
medallions, they greatly resemble the
famous Serves ware
A novelty IN cut glass Is mammoth

jar, but with the distinguishing feature
of large hollow space in the cut stop

to keep the fragrant Havana was in
just the proper condition.
A novel ornament for the drawing
room is a hanging flower jardiniere.
Suspended from wrought iron brack-
ct are half dozen vases ~ Italian
faience, in odd flower-like shapes, re-
sembling tulips, orchids, etc, and these
when filled with delicate trailing vines
look as If they were part of the luxur-
liant growth.
Crystal, with delicately traced pat

for the exquisite Venetian and Bohem-
