Enjoyed the Bngpipes.

In his story of the life of Lord Strath-
coma Mr.. Beckles Wilson tells an
amusing anecdOte of his lordship's ear
ly days when as Donald Smith he en-
tered the employment of the Hudson
Bay company and commenced to build
up the riches which made him a peer
millionaire.
A fellow Scotchman who worked
with Smith on the same station
brought out a set of bagpipes on one
occasion, and when the Indians and
Eskimos had gathered round he struck
up 1.-THE Highland Laddle" or some
such air. The delight Of the aborigines
was immense. Their faces lit up with
rapture, and with open mouths and
ears they drank in the sounds produced
by the instrument.
Afterward a discussion arose at the
company's factory as to whether the
EskimOs were of Mongolian or Ice
landic extraction.
"Hoots, mon, ye're a. wrang," broke
in the impatient piper. did ye no see
the chiefs this mornin' whilst l was

Irish Proverbs.

The proverbs Of nation are the dis
titled wit of generations Of its people,
and the true wit of the race Is often
times in proportion to the truth and
beauty of it's proverbs. Few nations
and few languages possess more beau
tlful sayings than the Irish. ''The silent
mouth is melodious," is an Irish apho-
rism pregnant with beauty and poetry.
And another saying. inculcating char
ity which is spiritually needed in this
modern world of ours, is that which
tells us, "Our eyes should be blind in
the abode of another" The beautiful
faith and the magnificent optimism Of
the Irish race are well pictured in their
proverb, "God never shuts one door but
he opens two" Autumn days come
softly, quickly, like the running Of a
hound upon q moor" is poetic, vivid
truth. And here is a sharp, satirical
one that cuts several ways at the same
time, "a poem ought to be well made
at first, for there is many a one to spoil
Il afterward. ."-Leslie's Monthly.

FEW STOCKS ARE AFFECTED

New York, April 14-A revival of the Northern Securities settlement excite ment resulted in a speculative revel on the stock exchange, which spread pretty generally throughout the list, but tho conspicuous fact about the days opera tions was their enormous congestion in the few stocks immediately affected by the current rumors, especially Union Pa cifc, St. Paul. New York Central and in the curb market Northern Securities itself.
 The last named stock bounded up to the neighborhood of 1S0 thus justifying predictions which have been current among the streets speculative operators for some time, but without obtaining general credence. The rumors to ac- count for the advance were many and various, and for the most part exceeding ly vague That which was most definite ly formulated alleged an intention to double the present volume of Great Northern preferred stock for purposes which were very dimly indicated in the story as it circulated.
 The capitalization of enormous values discovered in Iron ore lands in the com panys possession, was hinted at. Great Northern preferred closed at 3150330, with no sales, the last sale having been at 822 It was argued that this develop ment would greatly expand the value of the Northern Securities company, about to be distributed under the order of dis solution of the supreme court. As a large proportion of this distribution will fall to the Union Pacific treasury that stock was held to be entitled to a cor responding advance, but with the excite ment started in the market this expla- nation was deemed inadequate and sur mise fell back on the supposed uses to which the Union Pacific preferred stock is to be put.
 This line of conjecture led to the re- covery in various stocks pointed to as desired object of acquirition by Union Pacific, but which have been dropped out of consideration for time with the growth of slepticism over the stories current. These stories were as entirely without official authority or admission as at any time. The palpable fact. 5S- ever, was that almost unlimited amounts of the stocks most nearly concerned passed constantly through the market all day, and the absorptive power for them seemed unsuitable. The volume of trans actions and the movement of prices in rhe general railroad list was moderate and the extent of the price movement was found on careful scrutiny not to be very
