clerk in the old City hotel. which

where he remained until 1865, when he

The Berlin brokers are grooming.
According to the regulations just is
sued, in consequence of the new boerse
law prohibiting dealings in futures, the
immediate supervision of the Berlin
Stock and Produce Exchanges is to be
intrusted to a committee consisting of
the senior members of the Berlin Mer-
camille Guild, but the management is
placed in the hands Of a special boerse
committee of thirty-two members, of
whom twenty-four must be active deal
ers and eight senior members of the
Mercantile Guild. Complicated provis-
ions regulate the election of the com
mittee, which, in the case of the Pro-
duce exchange, is to include five repre-
sentatives of agricultural interests and
two of the milling trade. The exchange
is to be opened from II until 2 o'clock
daily At the latter hour the official
quotations for the day are to be settled
according to information furnished by
sworn brokers specially appointed for
the purpose. The actual prices are to
be fixed by members of the aforesaid
boerse committee. Bonds, shares and
scrip are to be quoted once daily and
foreign rates of exchange at least thrice
a week. Corn, spirits, oil, etc, are to be
quoted every day, and at the end of
each month an average price, based on
business done during the four previous
weeks, is to be published. A number
of minute ordinances regulate the mi
nor details Of exchange business, such,
for instance, as one providing that bus
mess shall begin and end at the sound
of bell. These things are by no
means welcome to the commercial COM
munity, and some towns are already
beginning to create free associations
instead of the existing boerses. There
are signs of an approaching conflict
with the government, whose subservi-
ency to the Agrarian party has given
deep offence.

Sixteen years ago Roscoe Conkling
and Thomas c. Plat resigned from the
United States senate with the idea of
going back to New York and getting a
"vindication" from the people and the
legislature of their State. They didn't
get it. Conkling is dead. Last night
Mr. Platt was nominated for United
States senator by the Republican eau
Gus at Albany, receiving 142 votes,
while his opponent received only seven
votes.
The affair is a strange and impress
sive bit of politics. Mr.. Plat has
waited a. long time for his "vindica-
ton" 1t came at last, and though he
perhaps doesn't care very much about
it now, it must be rather gratifying to
him to feel that he is going back to the
senate so easily and abundantly. He
has certainly become very efficient
boss" A man who can, without be-
| ing formal candidate, or being for
mally nominated, walk away with a
caucus as he did last night has what
| is known as a pull There is great
difference of opinion concerning the
quality of Mr.. Platt's pull" but after
last nights exhibition of it there can
be none concerning it's efficacy.

THE FUTURE STEAMSHIP.

What Must be Done to Make a Four

J. H. Biles of Glasgow, the Designer

1 have been asked to look into the
future and tell the readers of the
Youths Companion what kind of cat
lantic greyhound as the modern At
lantic liner is called, time is likely to
bring us, but I cannot see far enough
into the future to discern the grey
hound which it conceals. I can only
draw on limited Imagination for in
formation on this subject, and try to
conceive a future steamer with such
improvements as seem not impossible
from consideration of the existing art
of building.

road upon which we have come. Many
human beings are living who We're

says, cannot make this a criminal Of

propose to keep on newspaper advertis-

and medicinal properties. There are
not enough people, however, who read

some degree be at fault for this, par
ticu1arly the man who keeps his adver-
