A brief dispatch from Detroit told
about the selling Of lawyers nat at
auction to satisfy judgment, but the
case is curious enough to make few
of its details worth giving. The
heroine Of the story is servant named
Clara Brush, who had been employed
in the house OF Alexande. Hurst, an
attorney OF some prominence. In
last June the girl was discharged, for
some reason not stated, and she sued
Mr.. Hurst for a small balance, which
she claimed and he denied IVES due
her. Judgment of IS, including
costs, was awarded in her favor. Tie
constable to whom the execution of
the judgment was intrustel found no
property to levy on until October,
when he seized horse and carriage
belonging to tie lawyer. Hurst
thereupon paid 81, and on his promise
to pay the balance next day, tho rig
was given back to him. The promise
was not kept, and nothing more WAS
done until some months later, when
tho constable, happening to enter
courtroom where Hurst war arguing a
case, noticed the lawyers hat lying
on table. The officer quietly
stepped up, seized tho hat, and car
z'ed it away. It was duly advertised,
aod was sold at auction from the
Court House steps, in the presence of
about a hundred amused spectators.
,Hno highest bid was sixtyfve cents.
This the constable accepted, and by
paying shs remaining thirty.ive cents
from hi own pocket settled Mise
Brush's cla.AA in iull.

things,
II We had but day:
We should drink alone at the purest springs
In our upward way;
We should love with lifetinc's love in an
hour,
II the hours were few:
We should rest, not for dreams, but for
lresher power
TO be and to Go.
We should guide our wayward or woaried
By the clcarest light;
I've should keep our eyes on the heavenly
hills
II they lay in sight;
We should trample the pride and the dis
content
Beneath our feet;
We should take whatever good God sent
With trust complete.
We should waste no moments in weak regret,
II the day were but one;
II what we remember and what we forget
Went out with tho sun;
We should be from our clamorous selves set
free
To work or to pray,
And to be what tho Father would have US be,
II we had but day.

She knew that she had appealed ct

in the scholar, as Hannah had never
done. intellectually she was nothing
to him, but for that she did not grieve.
As an intellectual companion ouiy, a
woman has no actual power over e
mans heart; but as beautiful woman
she can use him as it best suits her
purpose. HanDah's ledger paid his
money in advance now, and she felt as

There was no need now to substitute

that he never treated Madeline as an

 The advance was not long sustained, how ever, the nervous shorts had evidently cay

New York June 9.-The stock market pro- claimed today with extraordinary emphasis the vitality and firmness of the improve ment in values which has been achieved in the last two weeks. The bears were ex- hausted in partially effective efforts to bring about d reaction which they had to abandon in face of the strong rally of the last hour which carried the whole mar ket with an embracing surge to a higher plane wipng out the loss which the pains taking efforts of the bears had accom- pshed earlier in the day and driving them to cover losses by hasty purchases on the fast rising scale of prices. The dealings in the last hour were characterized by great animation and the volume of sales, which was brought up to a total considerably in excess of that of yesterday which was the largest since the present period of activity in stocks Today's transactions in Sugar also were only about half as large yes terday though the days sales in. that stock still footed up the enormous aggregate of over 45, 900 shares. St Paul and Burling- ton came next in the order named. There were nine stocks in which the dealings ex- ceeded 10000 shares and some thirty-hys, in indicates greatly improved distribution of tha dealings. The force of the rally is prob Confluence in the general outlook for busi-l ness and the refutation of the theory that marked reaction in the market was imperi-i tive, It was this theory coupleds-with re-, vived rumors of crop damages in the nor-th-i west that melted some traders to make short sales for a decline in the morning. The movement to cover developed. how ever that small supply of stocks was of-t fering.
