CURIOUS cen bination of logic with
lack OF principle has sent a French
medical student of good family to Jail
for ten years. He had failed in his
examinations and thereby lost his
exemption from military service. Ii
obliged to serve two years he saw no
way of making up the deficiencies in
scholarship. but he knew that wild.
owls son would be exempt from the
conscription. He proceeded, there
fore to make his mother widow by
shooting his father, with whom he
was on perfectly good terms twice in
the head. The father recovered and
succeeded in getting his sons sentence
reduced.

RALEIGH TOBACCO MARKET.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Feb 20-A total OF $4,000
shares for the transactions on the Stock
Exchange to-day tells the story OF the
stagnation which prevailed. The usual
naTowness Of the Saturday half holiday
market was added to by the prospective
full holiday Monday. The fact that trad
ing would be suspended over two days
caused some OF the professional short
interests to start to cover as q provision
against possible contingencies IN the
interval. This movement Wns not exten-
siye nor long lived, but it caused an up
ward tendency in prices. The covering
came TO stop. however, and the ad-
vance in prices was checked in the last
half hour.
Corn depression was reflected in this
market from foreign exchanges, where
uneaginess continues. The market gagged
under these combined influences, 80 that
the early gains were almost oil lost and
the market was heavy. The evidence OF
il coming revival is most conspicuous in
the iron and steel trade as a consequence
OF the dissolution Of the steel rail pool,
the reduction of price and the enormous
contracts hich have been made as a con
sequence. The demand for raw mate
rial thus created, the employment aasur-
ed to labor and the impetus given to all
branches OF the iron trade are conf
dently eonntea upon 10 help en ths imdus-
