A MARKET OPINION.

Sullivan Bros. & Co say.
Burlington for April makes surplus In
crease Of 100000 out of gross increase OF
Sl64,001. They charge up something like "a
per cent per mile operating expenses, against
st. taul' -.charge OF GO per cent. This goes TO
show one of the beauties of railroad booklxeep'
ing. II is our opinion that purchase OF 100
ST. Paul and a sale of 100 Burlington VIII
show profit Of sl0O per share in the future.
We compare them 10 Lake Shore and Atchison
of some years ago or Sugar and Cordage of
late years.
The tariff cranks feel confident that as soon
as the Sugar tariff becomes law prosperity
will then bloom. On market order OF 1000
shares of Big Four the market drops IS
share against an advance of 50 in the leading
speculative Granger on purchase Of 25,0OO
shares.

splendid siege-train had perlshed, de-
stroyed by a feat that only one man
could have planned and executed, an
achievement destined to surround with
unfading glory the name of Patrick
Sarstleld! The success Of this hazard
GUS enterprise animated the besieged
with fresh resolution; while In the camp
Of the enemy it produced mingled rage
and CONSERVATION.
But in spite Of the loss OF his SIEGE
train William did not entertain the
idea of giving up the fight. In week
he had another siege-train of thirty
six cannon on the ground, and the work
of bombarding the city hegan. In a
short tlmo the town was on fire in
several places. and Sarsfeld and DE
Boisselleu at this point ordered that the
women and children should retire to a
place Of safety in the Glare suburb. The
women in Il body rebelled agans. the
order. They loudly protested, and de-
clared passionately that mo terrors
should cause them to quit their hus,
bands and brothers in this dreadful
hour, fighting for God and country"
They had already bravely aided in
erecting the defenses; they were now
resolved to aid in the struggle behind
them. ready to die ON the breach or on
the walls beside their kindred ere tho
hated foe should enter Limerick. Noble
resolve, nobly executed! The women
were as good as their word Into the
trenches by the sides Of their husbands
and fathers and brothers they went, and
day after day, women, old and young,
full of determination, were seen lahcr-
ing in the breaches. mines and counter
scraps. digging the earth. filling the
gabons. piling the shot, and drawing
the ammunition. while around them
showered balls, bombs and grenades"
And or Aug. 81, when breach was
made In the walls and the foe had pene-
trated into the town. the women were
IN the thick of the fray. Down through
street and lane and alley poured the
citizens. women and men, the butcher
with his axe. the shpwright with his
adze, each man with such weapon as ne
had been able most readily to grasp;
the women, like liberated furies,' fling
ing stones. bricks and other missiles
with fury OF the foe. For three hours
this bloody hand-to- hand fight in the
streets and the breach went on. Before
defenders thus animated it was no dis.
grace to the assailants to give way. q,
O'Clock In the evening they had be,r
completely driven out Of the streets
and back into the counter-scrap. Here
the contest was for n moment renewed
but only for moment At the point
of the sword and pike the assailants
were driven into their own trenches.
and shout of victory arose from the
