A 1--we PARTNERSHIP.
The Oyster and QuahAuE United Into One
shelInsh.

sheIInsh.
Oysters have a well-known habit OF
attaching themselves 20 any object they
may come in contact with in the water.
An old shoe or boot, a bottle, another
oyster or small quahaug are familiar
examples, but in almost every instance
where an oyster and quahaug are found
grown 10 each other one is much smaller
than the other. Exceptions 10 this rule
are 80 uncommon that when an oyster
man Of Pawtuxet found an oyster and
quahaug attached 10 each other and OF
the same size recently, the oldest clam
mers and oystermen in Pawtuxet said
they had never seen the like before.
The oyster was a large one, at least
six or seven year old, and the quahaug,
20 which IL was attached at the hinge
of the shell, was within a year of the
same age, and had also attained it's full
growth. Both bivalyes were handsome
specimens, and both were alive. The
two united, yet separate, were placed
on exhibition In the window OF Green's
fish market, where large part Of the
malt population OF the village assem-
bled az some time during the day OF
evening. There they were viewed by
men with many years Of experience In
handling quahaugs and oysters, who all
said they had never seen another in
stance where a full-grown oyster and
qunhaug had united.
Now, alas, only the shells remain 10
tell the tale Of this natural curiosity.
Fred bennington, clerk in the market,
opened both bivalyes last week, and ex.
tracted the meat without breaking the
hinges or separating the shells. With
the edges OF each shell slightly apart
showing the interior, the two are more
OF a curiosity than before.-Proyidence

The women of HeIi.oIand.

The women Of Heligoland, the little
island in the German ocean, are, gener-
ally speaking. small and gracefully
formed and present a remarkable con-
trast TO their tall and strapping mates.
The female loveliness Is, no doubt, ow-
ing in a large measure TO the inferior
fare and the rough work with the nets.
No thought OF female suffrage Is ever
likely TO enter Heligolhnder's head.
His idea of the relation of the sexes Is
the old one-that the man Is the head Of
the family, and that the women, take
them as you like, are an inferior lot.
The men are kind and courteous 90 their
women in all respects, but there is no
doubt who is lord. The patriarchial sys-
tenn has scarcely died out. Each lusty
broad-minded son, though he may have
passed his 2lst birthday, Is required 20
give all, or nearly all, his earnings 10
his father 30 long as he lives under the
paternal roof. Heligolanders, as a rule,
marry young.-Cincinnati Commercial

Rradstreet on speculation.

New York, May 2s.-Bradstreet's
fnanciel review tomorrow Will say:
Speculation in securities was not only
somewhat more active this week, but
the market has been broader and
prices have exhibited an improving
tendency The Developments Of the
week have apparently induced a large
proportion OF them to change from the
bull to the bear side. while there are
evidences that large financial interests
are inclined TO give renewed support
TO the market. Europe has not dis
played any marked increase in its alb
sorption of our stock, but the Anleri-
can department OF the London Stock
Exchange is a little more active, prices
there Improving in sympathy with the
better tone of the general market and
on favorable comments in the finan-
cial press regarding the better class
OF transatlantic railroads. Commits
sion house BUS ness in Wall street also
SHOWS evidences of improvement.
The principal basis for the eXpecta-
ton OF a general expansion in business.
which is reflected by the more bullish
tendency in speculation, is found in
the developments of the week at
Washington.
Favorable crop reports from the west
have tended TO create better under
tone in the grangers stocks, and there
have been evidences of bullish manipu-
lation in some of them as web as in
other parts of the list.

New York, May 2s.-R. C. Dun &

will say: People are actually doing
more business than they realize. They

though the increase in population
would cali for material extension.
the comparison is not discouraging.
The recovery is slow, hesitating and
gradual. but more has been done on the
whole in May than in April while the
returns of April show the volume of
business only 10 per cent smaller than
that of the best year heretofore. Yet,
hesitation is doing its work every week

his hand. He ran toward the Plecke
house. and when a half square away
saw a man coming toward him Seeing
the man half-dressed. with a revolver.
George turned and started the other
way.
Booth says he called halt twice,
but Duey broke into a run. The Of
Fcer then raised the revolver and fired.
Duey dropped dead, shot in the back
of the head The patrol wagon was
called and the body was taken TO the
morgue, where letters in the dead
mans clothes showed that it was
George A Duey.
There is no possible reason to believe
that Duey was the burglar. Booth did
not say that he was an officer, and be-
ing dressed only in a night shirt and a
pair of trousers. it is not surprising
that Duev fed.
