GENTLENEss NOT A VIRTUE.
Some Cases Drought to Notice in
which 1t Is Singulsrly

A young man at the art school had
just finished painstakingly sharpening
three or four sticks of charcoal for one
of the girl students, says the Boston
Transcript,

With bow and timid smile of
pleasure the young man moved away.
isn't he real nice boy?" asked the
girl who had been favored of her
friend who sat at the next easel.
NO." was the uncompromising an
swer of the next girl, who was oder
and possessed of more vigorous views
"Why-why-"
mo; he's not nice boy; he's a real
nice girl. Hes the most negative speci-
men of young man ever saw. Why.
If another fellow stepped purposeiy On
his toes he'd apologize for being in the
way"
"But he's gentle and of very sweet
disposition" argued the first girl.
Granted, but he might be all that
and still be little more Of man
Now, what like in the way of q
man is one who is noble, gentle
chivalrous and generous. but with
plenty of firmness and with strong,
well-defined views on every subject. A
man should always be at the positive
pole; make him negative and he isn't a
man. Your real nice boy is nice be-
cause he's too meek to be .gflythins

time, and do you know what I've had
an aching desire TO do?'
'sNo; whGt?"

urge him to brace up. Of course it
would be rude finished the older girl
with sigh.
II have a married friend who has
boy of ten," resumed the older girl,
after pause, during which she indus
triously filed in several square inches
with light and shade. Her boy was in
clined to belong to your real nice girl
sort of being. OF course it followed
that other youngsters picked upon
him a great deal. His mother paid for
q course of instruction in the manly
art for him. Then she told him that
every time he got into fight she would
give him quarter"
"Horrible!" shivered the other girl
THAT would make regular bully Of

of the bullying kind. He's muscular
now, though his build is SO slight that
one would not suspect him of strength.
Hes gaining in flrmness and quickness

that her conscience doesn't trouble her

crimes, she thinks, is to turn girl-boy

I'm in love with that mother, and her
son, whom l used to secretly detest,

"I-I don't know" said the younger
girl, obviously. 1t is doubtful mat
ter, to be sure. But there is no doubt
that most women like man or boy
who can fight on occasion.

cossful than those for the fall. At the mo-
ment the market is largely under the in
huence Of professional manipulators, and
the majority of these it is plain are on
the bull side.
The course of the railroad share market
amply confirms the advice given in these
ietters-that railroad shares should be
preferred above the industrlals. American
railroads were never in such sound con-
dition as today sound both financially
and physically. Nearly all have passed
through the reorganization process; they
are managed by professional railroad men,
not stock spectators; they are honestly
managed, and running a the lowest cost
per mile in their history while many Of
the industrials are running at their larg-
est ratio of expense. Again the railroads
have many sources Of income and their
gains being less excessive than the in
dustrals are less likely to suffer shrink
age when business quiets down.
The future of the market will probably
be irregular, but prices seem more likely
to go higher before they go lower. As
we have said, conditions are favorable to
activity and an advance. Money IS easy;
earnings are large, and general trade sat
isfactory. Further, the market has had
strong inside support: and as long as this
continues we are not likely to have any
important recessions Crop reports are
generally satisfactory, and the April gov
eminent report indicates a winter wheat
yield Of 3d. 10000 bushels more than last
year. For the present we advise quick

are almost nothing. LES than 2O.OOO. againsl

are almost nothing, less than 10000, against
5000 last year. In addition crop prepara-
tons are still backward on account of I'M
favorable weather and the Texas floods
continue. Doubtless these bullish infiu-
ences would have caused more strength
were they not in a measure offset by m
creasing evidences that the market for
manufactured goods is losing strength. AS
was predicted here some months ago, this
indication is first cropping out in accumu-
lating stocks on the hands of retailers. At
the close May was Is points higher at 9.4Sc,
and August points higher at 9.23c. The
new crop months show little change.
While prices may be carried higher by
small supplies and bullish manipulation, it
must be admitted that present figures dis
count a great deal, and for any further
material advance to be healthy and per
manent, il appears necessary for the new
crop TO have a bad set back, which is, OF
course, very possible.
The chief specula tive interest of the
week was in the provision market which,
following the forecast repeatedly made
here, was active and strong. Lard has
now forged to the front with the import
ant advance of 60 points, July closing 1875,
July ribs closed 40 points higher a t 81 22a,
and July pork So points higher a S13.O5.
The tendency is strongly upward. Under
present conditions of stocks and hog sup
plies, ribs can easily go to S12c lard TO &c,
and pork to $500 Higher prices still than
these have often been attained on much
less prOvocatiOn. Wheat and corn show
nominal changes.
Stocks were irregular. with scattered ac-
tivity In railroad stocks losses and
gains were fairly well divided, a specially
strong feature being Missouri Pacific. In
dustrials were generally lower, led by Su-
gar and the iron and steel stocks. The
market was closed Saturday. but the bank
statement was quite favorable and viii
very likely have a stimulating effect Mon
day morning. The disposition seems 20
be to take up low and medium priced
stocks in cases where increasing earnings
give fair promise for future prospects. In
this connection it may be well 10 pay a
little attention to Pacific Mail, Noble AMI
Ohio, Missouri, Kansas and Texas, and
Texas and Pacific, besides several Others
