sToRY OF CID ABE, THE WAR EAGLE.

For centuries the eagle has been the
emblem of liberty, the inspiration OF
poets and the terror Of his feathereo
friends. The king of birds has fur-
nished the story writer with count
less incidents, from aerial battles 10
child stealing. One Of Victor Hugo's
greatest poems begins: "L'aigle-c'est
lie genie-O -Olseau de Ia tempete, qui DO
mont lie plus haut cherche lie plus haut
falte." The poet parallels the struggles
of genius with the battle of the eagle
for existence, till both spread their
wings in the plenitude of power.
These are the fanciful ways OF look
ing at the bird of freedom, and it was
doubtless similar ideas that Induced

To what race belongs the credit Of
having first invented skating is still a
problem over which men Of science
are dlspudng. There is much doubt
among historians upon the subject. for
traces have been found among pre-
historic remains all over Northern Eu-
rope indicating that the art was prac-
tlced by primitive peoples. The Eski.

found to be In possession Of runners

mentioned by Danish historian about

Of London" says that In the twelfth
century young men fastened leg bones
Of animals under their feet by means
of thongs in order to slide along the
ice. This statement Is confirmed BY
the pair Of bone skates Of that period
now in the British Museum. 1t is like
". however. that these early London
ers borrowed the Idea from Holland
probably via Lincolnshire. wher,
skates have been used on the frozeI

st. Denis. The old man was pale and
wan, and his steps were short and trem-

looked not so pale, but sorrowful look
was upon his face, and in his dark, rich
brown eye dwelt melancholy light, such
as could only come from a bruised and
bleeding heart His hands were folled
upon his bosom; his eyes bent upon the

THE RICE MARKET.

Deliveries were somewhat interrupt
ed by the storm last week, but local
and nearby demand has increased, so
that sales are quite an item ahead of
previous equal periods since the open
ing of the new crop, and far ahead Of
last year at same time. Prices for
prompt delivery are in the main, well
sustained; soft spot here and there is
visible where offerings of particular
grade are momentarily in excess of
absorbing power of trade. The. high
quality of this seasons product has
operated faVorably on the movement
as one buyer remarked "it is a pleas
ure to do business in an article when
the quality is uniformly of such high
character" Receipts are more abund-
ant, but transportation facilities have
not been of rapid transit character
and vexatious delays have occurred.

trade has been somewhat spurty, but

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct 15.-The professional
traders in stocks renewed their at
tempt to-day to divorce the movement
of the railroad stocks from the de-
pressing influences now overhanging
the industrial securities. The effort
met with rather less success, even,
than was the case yesterday.
There was more business done dur
ing the first hour than at any other
time during the day. After that the
market fell into neglect, owing to the
evident futility of efforts to attract
buying of the railroads. There was no
urgent general liquidation manifest,
but the Industrial securities continued
to suffer in spots. The reported dis

New York, Oct. 15.-Better prices re-
suited to-day naturally from a more
bullish feeling in general, because of
improved demand from spinners and a
better Eastern outlook. Port receipts
for the day were 45.262 against Al, 400
last year, Exports up to 2:15 p. M. 49,

ports caused by disappointing receipts
were a big factor in the rise. Sully
