stockings were originally red; but blue, gray and white have been worn at diff ferent times. Finally the red hose, with the ruff of Queen Elizabeth's era, were restored to them by George ", the only other change being that of TO- settes of red, white and blue ribbons instead of red leather ones, which last In 17S5 superseded the old silver shoe buckles
 It is presumed that no mention of the Yeomen of the Guard would be consid- cred satisfactory without some refer ence to their more popular designation of "Beefeaters" That this word comes from the French buffet" because the men were supposed to serve at table or stand at the cupboard where the plate was displayed, must it is feared, be discarded, like so many other fancies of our teaching of early days. Skeat, Pegge and a host of others, who have given the subject consideration, all dis sent from this derivation, alleging, among a number of reasons too plenti- ful to reproduce here, that the Yeomen had nothing to do with the care of the buffet, that duty devolving on officers  men ushers The balance of authority is now in favor of the theory that their sobriquet arose from their well-fed ap- pearance.
 The present establishment of the Guard consists of a captain, a lieuten- ant and an ensign, four "exons," a clerk of the cheque and adjutant, and one hundred and forty yeomen. The extra forty act as Wardens of the Tow er ana were in olden times a branch of the Guard itself. Six of the corps hold the ancient additional office of Yeo- men, Hangers, and two that of Yeomen Bedgoers. The duties of the former were to take down and put the royal tapestry or arras which was always carried with the king when he went from one dwelling to another; and the latter had charge of the kings bed and bedding. They had also care of the kings tent and camp equipage, and went with George II. to Hanover in 1743.S
 Tn conclusion it Is only right to say that during the whole of their history no body of men has by it's behavior more justified it's existence near and in attendance on the sovereign than the Yeomen of the Guard. But twice in over four hundred years have any crimes been imputed to any of their
 number. In the Harleian MSS. we read: July IA, 1554-This day Richard Smith, one of the Yeomen of the Guard, for spreading abroad .lewd and sedi- tious books, was committed to the Marshalsea, his coat being taken from l his back and he discharged the ser vice" And Hall the chronicler gives a case at the beginning of the sixteenth century of a murder by one of the Yeo-
 men, for which the king, abhorring l that deed and setting aside all affec- ! ton, caused him to be hanged in the
 palace of Westminster, where he hong two daies, in example of other. n I Pall Mall Gazette.

Stocks Were Dull But Strong on the Ex
 change Yesterday.

New York, Sept. T.-Stocks were dull but strong to-day. Operators who were generally arrayed on the bear side yesterday made a complete change of front and were moderate buyers throughout the session.
 At the start the market was stimu- lated by more favorable advices from London regarding the political situa- tion in the east and by the announce ment that the governors of the Bank of England had not advanced the rate of discount after all.
 Near the close it was rumored that Lazard Freres had engaged big block of gold abroad for shipment to New York. The report was subsequently, confirmed and it was stated that the firm in question had secured four mill lions of the metal This brings the total on the way engaged and arrived since August 2S last up to thirty-six millions. This new engagement had a strengthening effect and the shorts

 Manhattan and Sugar were the par tioularly strong stocks The former ad- vanced from SHE to S5A, The rise was attributed to covering of a long out standing short interest, Sugar bound ed up from 1O99s to 111% and was in sharp demand throughout. The gran gers, internationals, Tobacco, Chicago Gas and Leather preferred advanced F to 19s per cent. and closed at or near the best figures of the day
 The unfayorable developments were the dearness of money, 8 per cent. be- ing paid for call loans in some cases, and the decrease of $112,500 in gross earnings of the St. Paul for the second week of September Neither had any influence, however, and speculation closed strong with an upward tenden- cy.

 Tower of London.
 The first and only standing forces employed by our kings until the Resto- ration were their personal bodyguards. These, however, although they accom- panied the sovereign when he took command of the army in the field, from their numerical strength were more calculated to add dignity to the crown than to effect great operations in war. Such as these were the Sergeants at Arms instituted by Richard l. to guard him in the Holy Land against the at tacks of the followers Of a mysterious prince, known as "The Old Man of the Mountain who were termed Assassi- nj, and the Archer Guard of Edward TIL, who were attached to his person for the purposes of safe conduct and keeping Henry VII. came to the throne in 14S5; he claimed the crown by various titles, but it was after long train of civil commotions-7and when he was by no means certain that either for himself or his heirs the storm had subsided. On his coronation, therefore, he instituted the Yeomen of the Guard. and in order, as Lord Nerulam insinu- ates, that it might be thought rather a matter of dignity than diffidence ap= propriate to his own case, he made it to be understood, for an ordinance not temporary, but to hold in succession forever" It is said by some writers of the time that the nation was jealous of this establishment, and that the king was restrained, and only permit ted to constitute this corps as pro- lection for his person on condition that it should not increase to an army; that
