The Bald Lover.

From the philadelphia Prcse.
An amazing statement. calculated to
shock the sensibilities of many women
ard outrage the feelings OF an honorable
and distinguished body Of fellow-citizens.
has appeared in a New York periodical.
1t 10 this: I'm what thing is the bald
head man the obvious inferior Of his les.
intellectual brother? In his capacity for
love-malting. OF course. A baldhead man
making love is a palpable absurdity-a
contradiction in terrns-a picture no ar
fist can paint
This is either rank injustice or paltry
envy on the part Of some anonymous and
hirsute writer, whose girl has, no doubt.
had the good taste to show a preference
for some man who. like Charles Lamb,
once cut his hair. but has since had his
hair cut him. Great men in all ages have
scorned their own hair. Plato was partly
bald. SO was Shakespeare, and rare Ben
Jonson had no hair at ALL Could Shake
speare and Ben Johnson make love? Be
sides. was there ever time men looked
so well as when they wore wigs?
II 10 the height Of absurdity to suppose
that any woman of tender sentiment could
deride her lover because of his partial Or
complete badness. How could she? In
the fashion OF today. for instance. has she
30 much hair OF her own that she could
afford to ridicule his deficiency?

Old Hate Of Catholics.

From the London Chronicle.
A Roman Catholic lord mayor Of Lon
don would not have been tolerated two
centuries ago. In those days every ma
tional crime. disaster or misfortune was
attributed to the "papist." An inscrip-
ton declaring that the great fire OF Lon
don was caused by 1.-The treachery and
malice of the popish faction in order to
the carrying on their horrid plot for ex-
tirpating the Protestant religion and old
English liberty and introducing popery
and slavery" was placed upon the monu-
ment by Sir Patience Ward, afterward lord
mayor. The story, though it found ready
credence and was solemnly affirmed by
the house of commons, was ridiculed by q
cotempOrary versifier:
The snifiing Whlg Mayor. Patience Ward,
To this damned lie paid such regard
That he his cody masons sent
T'engrave X round the Monument
James II ordered the inscription to be
removed. but It vas restored on the ac-
cession OF Willis:. Ill. and finally de-
leted in 1890. 1t had, meantime, provided
the inspiration for Pope's famous couplet
and Mr.. Pope's religion, such as 1t was,
followed his name:
London's column pointing Mt the skies
Like tail bully lifts its head, and lies.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Mergenthaler sold today al the meeting
of the stock exchange at 2iS- the highest
price paid for II in recent days There
were only ten shares to be had at that
figure and the further Offering was at
90, with the bid at 217'2. In addition to
the appreciation In the figures for this
stock. which has been a feature of the
trading OF the local exchange for some
weeks past, just at present the dividend
period is drawing near when a payment
of $50 per share will be made. This
will be rex. month, so that the current
figures are to be considered with this in
view. as the stock now carries with it the
right to the December dividend.
Nothing was done in Lanston and no

Greene Cananea Copper has been quite
active during the week, owing TO the
pending negotiations for a copper merger
to include this company. but for the past
day or 50 has been checked In the upward
course, so that the present tendency ap-
pears to be slightly the other way.
Today the STOCK was offered at 1ils.
while the bid for 1t was 1875. One lot
sold for IL. Options were offered at 141s

The stockholders OF the Bell Company
of Pennsylvania have been notified that
the certificates for the stock handed in

The Atlantic Graveyard.
From the Syracuse Post-Standard.

The Atlantic graveyard. dreaded by all
the wives OF north Atlantic sailors, does
not. strictly speaking. include the Bay OF
F'undy but rather that part OF the New
foundland coast which extends farthest
toward the south and east. between Cape
Race and the French islands Of Miquelon.
Between Bull Head on the east Of New
foundland's farthest peninsula and Eng
land cape on the west, ninety miles OF
coast line, lay whitening the bones Of
seventy-seven good ships that have gone
to their death there In eighteen years.
The deeply indented shore line sprinkled
with islands, shoals and sunken rocks and
interla ced by currents whose sinister and
treacherous behavior passes the knowi-
edge of man, is deathtrap which catches
hundred OF brave men every year and
causes a loss of millions Of dollars in
ships and goods.
