lector ]. A. Pierce went to Madisonville re-
Gently and travelled forty miles into the
mountains, where they found an Illicit dis
tiIlery which had been in operation for
several years. The officers knew where it
was and hiding near il watched those who
went into the place. Having obtained in
formation which caused them TO suspect
William eagle and James Curtis of oper-
ating it, they arrested the men for making
moonshine whisky. They were then di-
rected to the distillery, where they found
one of the best arranged plants ever seen.
They destroyed 1900 gallons of mash and
seventy gallon STILL Other property

citement in the neighborhood, owing to
their prominence. eagle is worth $50 0OO,

other valuable property. He has never
been arrested before and is a church
worker. He does not deny his guilt. He

MARKED THE GREELEY HOUSE.
Albert Il. PiIlsbury Puts Tablet on
the Editors birthplace.

Manchester, n. H, July 23.-The fact
that Horace Greeley first saw the light in
this State is a subject of pride to the
people of New Hampshire. Nevertheless,
during all these years the house in which
Greeley was born has never borne any sign
to notify the passing stranger of the fact
And it is not likely that there ever would
have been sucn a mark of designation
had it been left to local enterprise to pro-
vide it. 1t remained for a citizen of an
other State TO perform that act of public
service. The stranger drove up to the
Greeley house in Amherst a week or two
ago, and pulling his horse called to the
present proprietor of the place;
IF l will bring you sign with the name
Of Horace Greeley on it, Will you put ii
up over the door there?"
The farmer gazed at the stranger full
minute and then slowly answered:
Nope, l dunno whether / will or not -
The reply was respectful, and as the
farmer was evidently in doubt whether
any expense would fall on him the strang-
er decided it was satisfactory. In few
days he reappeared. and stepping from his
carriage handed the farmer a small alum
mum plaeard bearing the following in
scription:

to see the sign fastened over the door in
a conspicuous manner and then handed to
the farmer his card. which revealed his
identity as Albert E. Pillsbury, Boston
Mass" Mr.. Pillsbury was at one time At

in explanation to newspaper man:
Il should have preferred to have the act
passed unnoticed, but as it is in some de-
gree a public matter, l suppose there is
no harm in acknowledging that l was the
cause of having the Greeley birthplace
marked for the information of tourists
and others. Greeley was by odds the most
prominent man the town of Amherst ever
produced, and his birthplace is often
sought by visitors. especially in the sum-
mer. During Greeley's lifetime every

The nenr Hug Dnnce.

To the Editor of The Times:
The season for dancing in the pavlions at the
different pleasure resorts in our vicinity being
now fully inaugurated and constantly attended
by the majority of our Young people Of both
sexes il may not be untimey 10 sound through
the columns of The Times, a note of warning
and Of advice to the happy and innocent, vet
thoughtless, participants. dancing is termed
by Jacques (an authority medicine) ''the best
of all indoor exercises and as such il probably
is, when indulged in with moderation and pru-
dence, il brings to bear upon the physical
system a multitude of exhilarating as well as
often enervating influences. Restricted within
the portals OF home even in a regularly-ap-
pointed public hall, where great license could
not be indulged, it Is not only an innocent and
delightful amusement, hut means Of physical
culture it favors the development Of the muscular
system and promotes health and cheertulness.
Notwithstanding these facts, it is unfortunately
well known that this pleasant exercise is but
too often perverted to the haaest purposes, and
instead Of being source Of health and happi-
mess, il becomes the source Of dissipation and
often LAYS the foundation for disease. The
many public places OF resort now in operation
where dancing is the favorite pastime give one
ample opportunity for observation as well as
reflection.
For instance. there is new and apparently
popular river resort style adopted bv the beauX
OF holding their fair partners in the round
dances-the seductive waltz and the fascinat-
ing "two-step!' Instead OF the old-time,
spectful, dignihed, and gentlemanly way of en-
circling the waist OF the young lady. armed
with a spotless handkerchief TO protect her
dress where his hand rested and with the
other hand lightly touching her right hand,
resting daintily on his shoulder arm. the
participants rush into n mutual embrace, or,
more truthfully 'hug," with both arms, their
hands meeting in the centre Of each others back
and in this attitude hold on like grim DEATH"
despite heat, dust. knocks, bumps and eopious
perspiration, until the last notes Of the
chestra die out.
Mothers who have regard for the future well
fare Of their daughters should beware how they
allow them to visit places where such impro-
prety is the rule. r.

The earnings OF the railways in all Sec
tiOns is perhaps the most potent of the
bullish factors in the market situation
1t is an unanswerable argument, and 1t is
the more convincing since these earnings
continue to hold their own and increase
when few months ago the chief bear ar
gument was that the present summer
months must see a material decrease in
all directions. Some OF the facts and eX-
pressions Of opinion recently developed
along this line are especially interesting
when taken together.
Northern Pacific's report for the second
week of July shows gross earnings to be
$562, 1881, against $44S, ,295 in the correspond
ing week of last year-an increase of Slli,-
0S6, or more than 20 per cent. Since July
l, Northern Pacific has gained s194.O9 in
gross, which is nearly % per cent over the
figures of the same period of last year.
Friends of the property are much encour-
aged by the continuance of heavy earnings,
and are using them as arguments for an
increase in the dividends on the common
stock.
Inside interests in Louisville and Nash
vile say that since July l earnings have
been increasing at the rate of $4,000 and
$l2, 900 a day, and that even better results
are looked for shortly, when several iron
furnaces along the company's lines go into
blast, and when the Ensley steel plant
starts operation. The point is made that
freight rates on pig iron are now 81 a ton
higher than at this time last year, and that
LouisvilIes volume of iron tonnage has
nearly doubled. The Ensley furnace will
produce 1000 tons of steel a day.
President Ripley, of the Atchison be-
lieves the good times OF 1892 will be sur
passed this year, and is OF the opinion that
the wheat yield will be good and the corn
crop a record breaker. Furthermore, Mr..
Ripley says that when Atchson's line TO
San Francisco is opened further impetus
will be given 10 the roads Western
