Wall Street Review.

New York, May l9.--The stock market
was abandoned almost wholly to profess
sional traders on the floor of the eX-
change No outside demand of any i'm
pOrtanCe was apparent at any point in
the list. Prices were marked up sharply
at the opening on demand from the
shorts who sold the speCialties yesterday.
Sugar Brooklyn Transit and the Flower
group generally showed the largest gains,
the demand being obviously from the
short interests. Total sales, 456,4 400
shares.
The railroad bond market continued to
show a large investment demand, es-
pecially for recent reorganization is

LIFE OF HENRY A. WISE.
History of One of the sOuth's Most
DiSfingnfshed Sons.

1t is perhaps to be regretted that Mr..
Barton II. Wise, in his ably written ana
very interesting life of his distinguished
grandfather, Gov. Henry A. Wise, of Vir-
ginia, could not have given a closer view
Of the home surroundings and personal and
domestic features and traits of that life.
We are well aware that according 60 the
ordinary inclination and trend Of the
American mind little is valued or appre-
ciated except the public honors and poliu-
cal events OF "a career, and that the no.
blest and purest progress in the shade
would scarcely attract attention.
Indeed, 1t has become customary to
chronicle only the leading public events Of
"A useful life and to tabulate the political
honors like a pedigree Of noted racer.
And yet all this in truth is but a small
portion of the life, and IL the child Is
really father to the man, the most in
teresting features TO the philosophic in
quirer are the formative influences that
primarily developed, and to a necessarily
large extent guided the maturer life.
Those intimate inquiries which exhibit the
inner and hidden progreHs, and which are
Illustrated by such WORKS as the Vicar
OF Wakefield" "Whte's Natural History
of Selborne" and the charming French
treatise known as the Voyage Around My
Room" have hardly as yet attained their
due need Of appreciation in American
taste. The more prominent events OF a
noted American life are sounded by the
storms and detonations which explode
around the political career rather than
seen in the flowers and fruitage that In
dictate the path of the sower. This doubt
less furnishes the chief reason why the
political field is so enhcing and alluring
TO many ambitious Americans.
1t Is a grand sight to view a great noun
tain rising majestcally above the plain
and cooling its sun-tipped head among the
clouds but until we Chamber about It's
sides and explore its mysteries we can
never feel assured that limpid fountains
sparkle in its crevices and that tender and
beautiful blossoms bloom on its slopes
Gov. Wise was emphadcally a fighter
He had plenty OF that gall which makes
oppression bitter lie was always ready

merited only by the Intelligent and eX-
perlenced were suddenly thrust upon
multitude of callow hedglings thoroughly
untitled for their reception or exercise,
and the ultimate outcome OF which no
living political doctor can diagnose.
This is now the concensus OF opinion OF
all thinking people not tainted by fanati-
cism4 The surrender of his thunderbolts
by Jupiter to Ganymede could not have
been more reckless. il was the transfer
of sovereignty from ProsperO TO Caliban.
Gov. Wise was a firm believer in the SUI
premacy OF the Caucasian race. and he
appreciated its Inheritance of those higher
qualities which obligated II 10 loftier pos
session and to nobler display. He was In
fun accord with the Views of Mr. Cal
houn in his strong treatise on govern
ment and realized with him that the very
juXtaposition of the two races made every
white person a natural aristocrat and en-
dowed him, IL with some of the vices az
least with many OF The noble virtues Of
that high strain.
He did not rear his children In the faith
that they were no better than the Afri-
can, as has been done In some sections
with fatally depressing effect He knew
that TO educate a child in The belief that
he was no higher IN the scale than horse
or a COW could never elevate the animal
to the human level, but might possibly
depress the human. Such theories he be-
lieved to be as disastrous as the worship
Of Idols made with hands.
The result was the rearing OF a self
contained, proud and manly race. and IL
pride does sometimes precede q fall he
realized that the fan and the prostration
would be enduring should all pride be ex-
cised. OF his career as a soldier much
need not be said. He was one among hun
dreds OF thousands who stood ready to
seal with their blood the faith that was
In chem, and untableted mu.titudes did
sacredly so seal It. All Of them bore their
many cruel crosses without plant. He
was born in that old corner Of Virginia
which was largely settled by the repre-
sentatives Of those strong races which con-
stitute the British people. the component
resultant of which, take It for all IN all
doubtless solidlhos into the most yeriie
Of the ruling races OF the earth
The offspring Of such ancestors, summed
and ripened by alr the melowng inhu-
cnces Of Southern American life, must
have inherited among many virtues at
least that OF indestructble courage. He

operation, which reminded me somewhat
of a dance that had its origin in this coun-
Try at the worlds fair, was repeated until
all the shells were iooscnei on the left
side. The lobster once more began the
squeezing process, and after half an hours
hard work finally got clear of the shell
entirely, lying down by Us side for rest
which lasted for three days.
THE Shell looked much the smaller Of
the two; and save that il WAS mouonless,
might have been taken for a live and
healthy crustacean in fun dress. The
naked lobster did NOT look at an ike his
old self His colors We're SO bright as to
suggest that he had been parboied, and
he had the tender appearance of human
flesh from which the skin had just been
removed.
Il took out the shell, and upon examina-
ton could hardly believe that the former
tenant had squeezed out of it, so small
was the orifce through which he had
come Not only had he left the major
part of his eyes, but also the lining Of
his stomach, including his internal teeth
and some of the bones of his thoraX; yet
he seemed to be little worse for the thor
ough turnout ! touched him and found
that, although quite soft, he was COW
cred with an incIpient shell of the ap-
proximate solidity of oiled tissue. That
he did not like to be touched was made
my hands
During the three following days the
shrimps worried him 10 a considerable ex.
tent; but he grew with marve.ous rapid
ity until he was fully half as big again
as he he'd been and when l once more
touched him, the shell on his big claws
was sufficiently hard to give me a spite,
full nip. When l placed the lobster IN
the aquarium he was without his big
left claw, which had been accldently
wrenched off at the time of his capture.
The stump healed very quickly; a hard,
calcareous seal encrusting the end of The
joint.

Old SHE'LL he appeared with q rudimentary

hind the shield This claw grew even
more rapidly than the rest of the body:
and by the time the new she'll was hard.
the new claw. though still disprODortion-
ate, was OF very servceable dimensions.
This is Characteristic Of both Holsters and
crabs. They sometimes appear to dimem-
Der themselves voluntarily. They appar-
entity feel that they can make a better job
of an entire limb than of a single joint of
one If in taking a crab from the sea you
cause him to lose the outer-most JOINT Of
one of his big claws, he will presently
jerk away the rest of the limb right up 10
the shoulder. He does not simply drop it;
he actually and Enthusiastically casts 1t from
him. 1t Is useless: and he at once sets to
work TO grow a new one.
Since the operation which 1 have just
described took place I have witnessed
several more Holsters go through the same
process. They have varied slightly as 10
the length of time which they took to ac-
complish the change, but in every other
way the mode of splitting the shell and
squeezing their bodies out has been iden-

he ended with the crash of the crater and
the collapse at Appomatox.
After carefully perusing this interesting
work, ana realizing more completely
through its aid the serious and well-con-
sidered political convention into which our
fathers entered, we are more than ever
confirmed In the truth of that grand SEN
timent uttered by Lord Derby In his lines
presenting copy OF his translation Of
Homer to Gen. Lee, that eternal right,
though ali things fail can never be made
wrong.
But when we contemplate results, we are
almost driven into political pessmion and
forced to believe that the most sacred hu-
man ties beneath the bitter breath OF
fanaucsm will crumble like a fbpe Of
sand, and chat the most solemn and SEEM
ingly safe guarded compact between men
Is in its last analysis still reducible to
the old barbaric formula that might a.one
makes right.
The life Of Henry A. Wise will be read
with pleasure and profit by intelligent peo-
pie everywhere. 1t Will be particularly ac-
ceptable to Southern and Western read
ers. with whose more liberal political SEN
timent II chimes. II could be studied with
instruction even In New England, il the
inhabitants of that self-sufficient section,
through some influence more potent than
any yet discovered could be induced to
realize for several days that some great
character or some grand thought not ma
tive TO their narrow terri tory may pos
sbly at some time have helped to advance
the true interests Of the country or to
humanlze the world
In conclusion, we can cordially repeat
the prafatory encomium of Mr.. 3ahn 5.

DR.. ABB0
Has Won Fama and Wealth
in Savannah.

Many physicians have come and gone.
but never in the history of Savannah has
there been a man who has done such
large practice and made the reputation in
so short a time.
Abbo was the first man TO introduce
new system of treatment and medicine in
Savannah, and against strong opposition
has succeeded in establishing a lucrative
practice among the best class OF people in
the city. He came to Savannah three years
ago, and few months after he commenced
his work here, his fame went abroad in
the land. From 60 to leo people consult
him daily and for the last Two years he
has the largest visiting practice of any
physician in the city, making from 20 to
30 calls a day. attending 10 his Office prac-
tce as we'll People come from ali paris
of the United States to consult him, in
Guiding New York, Chicago and other large
cities. He maintains one of The best equip
ped institutions in the country. Thousands
of people freely assert that his treatment
has cured them of obstinate diseases after
all other means had failed. These facts
are beyond dispute.
1t is commonly understood chat he is the
busiest man in Savannah, aud has more
patrons than any physician or combua-
tlon of physicians in the city. As "a rule
ihe poorer classes cannot afford to pay he
rather high charges made by the doctor
yet ne is very charitable and does greal
deal of charity practice. Therefore il viii.
not do to argue that his patients are de-
hcient in intelligence, for among his pat
Ions one VIII find some of our best ciu-
zens well-to-dO people, many women, busl-
ness men, lawyers, journalists, ministers
