market were absorbed served to re-
lieve the fears of a wiping out or
margins and shrinkage of collaterals
which have aggravated the weakness
of the market for several days past.
An important factor in the support or
the market was the heavy buying for
London account The reduction of the
Bank of England discount rate from
4 to 31a per cent. was the basis of the
improved tone of the English specula-
ton. The decided reaction in the cot
ton market served as restorative of
confidence and relieved the pressure
of LIQUIDATION of stocks to cover losses
by the shorts in cotton. The market
lost much of it's animation on the up
ward course and the days net ad-
Vances failed to wipe out entirely yes
terday's losses. But the demand was
well maintained at the higher level. A
feature of the day was some further
wide declines in the marketing of in
active stocks.

made Of clay, the same as that used for

made of clay, the same as that used for
adobe bricks. Afterwards we followed
steep path up to the opening of the
principal mine. On the way thereto
we met carts loaded with salt, drawn by
oxen; and women bearing heavy bags
of salt on their backs. While waiting
for candles we had time to look about
us and enjoy the unrivalled view. In
front stretched the great plain of Bogo-
ia, the Chibcha's ancient elysium; and
to the left, shut in by high mountains,
the important town of Nemacon; and
dimly discernable few miles to the
right the village of Sepo, made famous
by one feeble and crippled girl who does
the most wonderful wood-carving, rep
resenting characteristic Colombian
scenes.
Inside the earth, we followed the
salt mines to higher and higher levels,
instead Of descending, as in other mines.
The darkness, rendered more intense
by our faring tallow dips, was appal-
ling, and utter silence, of which one
can form no conception above-ground,
enveloped us as with a shroud. The
walls are supported by solid columns
of salt; salt everywhere, above around,
below, nothing but salt.
The superintendent Informed us that
the stupendous mountain of salt must
have been formed by the ocean which
in prehistoric ages washed over the
place where we were standing; but
whether geologsts agree with him or
not, | cannot say. In some places the
salt was white as snow and sparkled
like diamonds in the light of our can
dies: but as rule it was dirty slate
color Away up in the heart of
the mountain where the air is close
and oppressive and the blackneSS and
silence more terrible than before, is a
little chapel, followed out of solid salt,
in which is an image of the Virgin sur
rounded by tall crosses. Night and day,
which are alike here, from year to year,
whatever wars and changes may be 60
ing on in the outer world, candles are
always kept burning in front of this
strange shrine. Miners never fail to
say their prayers here, fully believing
that this act alone saves them from fall
ing into the clutches of the evil spirits
of the mountain. FANNIE 3, WARD.

Rural Free Delivery.

More than 4, 900, 600 American farmers
now have the benefit of the rural free
delivery, an6 the amount of mail they
receive has been more than doubled
since the system was adopted. During
the past year the system cost the gov
ernment about s24,00O,O00, and with
this amount the postof1ice department
has been able to give excellent satisfac-
tion. There are still 100000 square
miles not covered by the rural delivery
system. To accomplish this work it
will require the employment of 10000
to $1,000 carriers in addition to those
now employed, making the entire force
when the extension is completed about
10000. The department expects that
this will be accomplished within the
next three years.

What Might have Been?

In the January Review of Reviews, Mr..
Henry b. F. Macfarand says that the late
Hon. Thomas B. Reed in entering upon the
ton of remaining permanently in the me-
tropolis, and he adds: 'Having in three
years gathered the modest fortune which he
thought necessary, he was preparing to re-
turn to Congress from his old district at the
next election, his former private secretary,
Representative Allen, who had taken his
lie would have been only 65 when he re-
turned to Congress, and might have added
largely to his fame. He might have been
again speaker, and perhaps even president. "
The Kennebec journal pertinently remarks:
sit is difficult to believe that any such pro-
Reed. II may have been the dream Of some
his of less wise friends"
