Did It Like an American

From the San Francisco Argonaut.
 When the attack was made on Sidon, in the war with Syria, it became necessary for the British troops to advance across a long, unprotected bridge in the face of a battery of six guns. which completely com- manded he approach. The men were un- willing so expose themselves to certain death, when Arthur Cumming, carefully dressed in full uniform, stepped forward to the middle of the bridge. It was immedi- ately swept by the fire of the batterys When the smoke had rolled away, there stood Cumming intact, carefully brushing the dust from his boots, after which he stood erect fixed a single glass in his eye, and looked back at the men. This was too much, and they captured that bridge and battery with whoop.

 Private Wire to Paine Murphy & Co.
 Birmingham, Aug. 1.-The market again opened with a boom, everything showing advances. The advance was steady with the exception of Tobacco, which quickly made new record at 145. around this price there was some unloading. Burlington, about noon, announced 11a dividend or equal to per cent. and this stock advanced near ly per cent. The advance continued un- til D. m. A new manipulation was In the coalers, which were advanced 2 to per cent. respectively. After the clearing hour a sudden shift in the Kaleidoscope showed big unloading in, Tobacco and In five min- utes a break of 8 per cent. was made. A quick recovery of per cent. followed. This stock is becoming too dangerous. to pre- dict it's course for ten minutes. The shorts in Sugar were treated to a surprise, the stock advancing 4 per cent. on them. The general list was affected about 1 per cent. on the Tobacco furry. The street Is still extremely bullish and we are too conserva- tive to antagonize the majority but we are looking for good reaction, nevertheless, and would wait before buying high priced securities.
