-hare -peculation opened weak and lower
on continued talk of embarrassments in tbe
drv good* trade. Before 11 a. m. the suspen
sion of Halsted, Haines A Cos. was announced,
and prices fell off '4®H-i per cent. At 11 a.
m. a -teadier feeling set in, and tbe market
gradually hardened. When the bank state
ment was published speculation became
stmug. as the exhibit was favorable. This
stimulated buying for long account, and
prices rose per cent., Pacific Mail lead
ing. The upward movement continued strong
till tbe last hour, when there were rumors of
another failure in the dry goods trade, which
brought about a general selling movement
and prices declined. Pacific Mail, Western
Union. Lake Shore, Northwest, Bt. Paul, Cen
tral Pacific, and Lackawanna being most
prominent in the decline. In the final sales
there was a fractional recovery. Compared
with last evening, the closing prices are
1*; per cent, lower for Canada Southern,
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, Northwest,
St. Paul, Lackawanna. Louisville and Nash

The Post’* cotton re nor t savs: “The near
months of future deliveries were pressed on
the market without intermission, and as there
are no buyers except at a decline, lower
prices are the natural consequence. General
opinion points to a continuance of this state
of things. Operators without hardly any ex
ception are bearing the markets. They only
buy to secure moderate profits; then are
again going 6bort. August lost 10-100 c and
the later months 7-100 e, but recovered before
the closing 6-100®4-100c. and left off dull but
steady, and 4-100®3-109c lower than yester
day.”

5:00 p. m.—The leading operations in the
grain list opened with a fair show of activity
this morning, but the promise of firmness was
short-lived; there were early reports of a big
failure in the dry goods trade in New York,
and such free receipts of grain at outside
points in the early wheat districts, principally
in 9t. Louis, as to argue very lively gelling by
farmers; there were very few outside orders
on the floor, but the looks of the outside crowd
arc “long," and under these conditions there
was liberal selling, although no noticeably
large individual trades; foreign advices were
heavy, and exerted a weakening influence.
Cash wheat closed nominally at Bo%c, with
but little doing in this branch of the trade;
the average range in active options was with
in %c. the closing being steady and very little
changed from the opening figures. Corn
ruleu easier, less active and generally weaker
than wheat, but responded early in'the ses
sion to the influence quoted as affecting its
neighboring cereal, and in addition was more
heavily sold than wheat; cash corn ruled at
51c; the day’s bnsiness left corn, on an aver
age, %c lower than the opening quotations.
Oats were steady and firmly held for near op
lious, but long deliveries were weak and low
er; the receipts are heavy, aud show every
indication or increasing; this will be seen
from the statement that on the #th there were
62 cars, cn the 10th 97, on the 11th 120, and to
day 139 cars. Rve was quiet at 61c for spot
and 6!%c for July delivery. Provisions were
lightly traded in, the day’s transactions leav
ing tbe market generally worse than it was
tin? morning, except, possibly for near deliv
eries of ribs, for which there was a fair short
demand.

Washington, July 11.— The Secretary
of the Interior has requested the Secre
tary of War to cause the arrest of Capt.
Payne and such of his party—reported to
number 1,500 or 2,000, now upon the Cher
okee outlet lands of the Indian Territory
—as have violated the terms of section
2148 of the Revised Statutes, and to expel
all other intruders now upon the lands be
fore the movement assumes more formi
dable proportions.

LOUISVILiL.ES EXPOSITION.
Improvement* In the Building—A Mam
moth Live Stock Exhibition Other
Note* from the Kentucky Metropolis.
Correspondence of the Morning Sen*.
Louisville, Ky., July 10.—Whoever
may think the Southern Exposition of
1884 in the good city of Louisri He is go
ing to play a mere second fiddle to its
predecessor or to current affairs of the
kind elsewhere will be a little out in his
reckoning. Without quite so much
sounding brass and tinkling of cymbals
as heretofore the President and managers
aDd all the corps have been working in
dead earnest and there, is considerable
business bustle around the building. A
new roof, impervious to rains, has re
placed the leaky affair of last summer,
and several other alterations have
been made preparatory to the opening day,
which is now but little more than a month
off. The large annex used for the car
riage and wagon display last year will
now be devoted to a grand horticultural
exhibition, and there is to be a mammoth
exhibit of live stock such as has never
been gathered together in Ifr-ntncky be
fore. The appropriation by Congress for
the government display relieves” us ol a
large item of expense; last year this de
partment was very fine and complete, but !
the entire expense was borne by the Expo
sition Company. The art gallery is hav- j
ing anew concrete floor laid and an art
committee, with Carl Brenner, the cele
brated artist among them, is now scat
tered through the East securing pictures, j
The recent financial convulsions
in Wall street will doubtless prevent the j
loan of some of the treasures in the col- i
lection last summer. Seney and Grant
and the other fallen greatnesses will 1
hardly be in a condition to contribute of
their store this year. The whirligig of
time when it begins to go round can settle
things up in very short order sometimes.
Anew feature will be a department de
voted to relics of the war, collected from
both the blue and gray ranks, several
prominent ex-soldiers being now through
the South soliciting contributions. The
great Northwest is expected in full force,
and almost every exhibitor has arranged
to ship displays directly from this city at
the close of the exposition to New Or
leans. There is to be the same splendid
music, an electric system more stupen
dous than ever, and altogether there is no
fear that the Southern Exposition of 1884
will in any way shame its progenitors.
THE WORK OF PAVING THIRD AVENUE
with concrete and asphalt is receiving its
final touches, and when completed we
will have a boulevard of which the most
magnificent city might well be proud.
Some time since our municipal govern
ment issued bonds to the tune of |1,500.000
to be expended entirely in paving and re
pairing streets. Third avenue, from the
river out to Broadway, is now laid with a
granite pavement so solid and compact it
seems fitted to resist the wear and tear of
ages; there is constant and heavy travel
over this street, and these reverberating
stones thunder quite awfully under even
light vehicles.
A few blocks beyond Broadway were
put down in the asphalt last fall as an
experiment new to Louisville. When
finished, this fashionable drive was a
living delight—smooth, noiseless, springy,
it seemed the climax of beauty and com
fort to pedestrians and drivers. But it
was a thing of beauty which turned out
a joy for only a little while. When the
winter sleets came on Third avenue, in
that part, was a sea ot glass. Small boys
preferred it to the skating rink, and
foot passengers slipped and sprawled
picturesquely over its icy surface. It
was very interesting and much better
than the circus for liveliness. By and
by large holes and yawning chasms ap
peared and the repairing brigade was out
in full force, patching up. Nevertheless,
the decree went forth to put down Third
avenue in asphalt in one continuous path
out to the House of Refuge, and we have
in consequence the handsomest drive and
promenade Louisville has ever known,
but, perhaps the problem oi durability
will come up for solution hereafter, and it
may lie demonstrated to the taxpayers
that asphalt pavements hardly pay for
themselves in the end.
A social club of young Louisville
bachelors who are among the can’t-get
aways propose to take comfort to them
selves for spending the heated term in the
city by giving a series of afternoon teas
to each other. These entertainments are
strictly temperance, so the members de
clare, but as no ladies are invited the
gentlemen are perfectly safe in making
any report they please to the outer world.
The host on these occasions apologises tor
whatever defects may be discovered in his
little spread, presses his guests to partake
with overflowing gush, turns the table
talk upon the trials and delinquencies of
servants and worry of housekeeping gen
erally, discusses the news at the last sew
ing society, and rips up the domestic
a flairs of neighbors and friends impar
tially, in all of which he is assured of re
sponsive chords of sympathy in the
bosoms of his guests. Sometimes a de
lectable bit of thrilling gossip comes up
which is distributed in low tones and dis
cussed with closed doors. Altogether,
these little gatherings are described as
“the most enjoyable affairs of the
and as they are participated in by oniy
a select few, are attended with a certain
eclat that lifts them into an atmosphere
far above ordinary levels.]
THE WOMAN’S COLLEGE OF PHARMACY,
which is always proud to remind the
public that it is "the only institution of its
kind in this country, held its commence
ment exercises a few evenings since in
great style. There were three graduates,
and there were essays, conferring of de
grees, music, flowers and all that sort of
thing. Each of the graduates has ob
tained a position as practicing pharma
cist, and sallies iorth with her diploma to
conquer or be conquered. One young
lady. Miss Launtiue Vetter, who read the
valedictory—“ Woman in Medicine”—was
made a Professor of Botany on the spot.
If that is not progression for the
down-trodden, what is it? A Professor
of Botany ts not to be sniffed
at under any circumstances, but
when the Professor dawns upon the en
raptured vision in a Jersey jacket and
curl papers, give him a front seat and
hats off! Who wouldn’t feel inspired to
join the botanical class and ponder upon
pistils and stamens and pollen dust and
all the rest? There has been a beautiful
little hubbub in this same college recently,
all because Miss Bessie White, who is a
graduate of the School of Pharmacy of tbe
University of Michigan, was refused a
license to" practice by the of
Pharmacy. Miss White is a woman,
which may be slightly superfluous to
state, and she isn’t in the least ashnmed
of it. This of course was the animus
of the wooden-headed board in reality,
though they urged a strict reading of
the law, that an applicant must be a pu
pil of some local school for three years,
and a quantity of trash of the same color,
and they politely could not and would not
and should not." The young lady shook
her diploma in their faces and they didn’t
appear to see it. Then she went to law
and got her rights, and the State Board
came up to the mark and gave her a li
cense. Miss White is not one of the meek
and skim-milk variety, who don’t know
her rights from her wrongs; she is a sis
ter of the high-flying John D. White, "Hhe
Javhawk of the Mountains,” and it was
probably the jayhawk blood that pulled
her triumphantly through her little diffi-
culty.
The various scattered charities of Louis
ville have recently been organized under
one head known as “The Louisville
Charity Organization.” This swiety is
for the protection of persons benevolently
inclined from impostors and for the proper
investigation of applicants for charity.
Every head of a house in the city has been
furnished with a package of tickets, so
that, a mendicant who appeals to you on
tbe street or rings at your door bell with a
harrowing recital of misery is given a ticket
to the Charity association, his case is in
quired into,and if worthy he is assisted with
remunerative work or with food and cloth
ing if unable to work. It is a very excel
lent plan, and the only one which can
separate the deserving poor from the im
postor. It is also a blissful lifting of the
burden from individual shoulders. When
a beggar besieges you you need not hurt
his feelings by saying “no” outright; you
give him a ticket’ and save your nickels
and vour old clothes, and your reputation
for benevolence need not suffer either.
After the beggar is investigated it is op
tional whether you supplement the ticket
with a cold potato or not.
Mr. Bret Harte, in his otherwise clever
story, makes himself a trifle ridiculous in
bringing his Penelope from her blue-grass
home, where she “trailed silk skirts over
bare floors” and looked upon blank walls,
and was quite provincial in her speech
and ideas. The refinement and luxury of
half a century back in the blue-grass em
pire would put such a description to
shame; it is simply laughable to-day. It
would be even too bare and uncouth to
suit the present of Dakota or Colorado,
or any where else in the wild West. Mr.
Harte either don’t know what he is talk-
I ing about, or he talks with malice afore
thought. A more intimate acquaintance
with blue-grass homes and people would
make him feel like a great punctured
wind-bag. Coyle Douglas.

Correspondence of the Morning Mete*.
Palmer, Alachua County, Fla.,
July 10.—Palmer is a little place, Savan
nah a big city, but little folks can be
introduced to big folks, I guess.
We, of the interior, among the pines,
hear of your great schemes, your politics,
your theatres, your business marts, and
wonder in our seclusion how it would
seem to be there.
On such days as the gloomy Fourth
we fancy we can hear the distant boom of
your cannon, the faint ringing of your
bells, tbe shouting of the numerous small
boy, and whiz and fizz of übiquitous fire
crackers, or tbe ambitious twang of the
voices of amateur orators reading the
Declaration of Independence.
All these are things of the past with us
Palmerites. To play the “Star Spangled
Banner” with redoubled emphasis on that
day, to sit on the piazza and imagine the
familiar routine, to swing a little, to lie
in the hammock and wonder how many
city-tired people would exchange with us,
to hear now and then the sharp click of
the pistol or the crack of a barrel full of
torpedoes, to see the birds sonr in airy
circles, to “listen to the mocking bird,”
to get tired of the silence and then re
member how dead tired we used to get
with the noise—these till m the dav and
the moonlit evenings—is a continual cele
bration.
Well, it is all over, and maybe we are
quite as happy as if we had been in the
midst of city excitements, explosions and
accidents.
As I said before, Palmer is a small
place, but it is alive. There are but few
farmer folks here, but they are bound
to do their best. They have sent ofl' car
load after carload of squash, tomatoes and
cucumbers, for Palmer land is prolific.
There are standing on my front porch, in
plain sight of the thousands who don't go
ty, five mammoth pumpkins, all from one
solitary seed, that weigh in the aggre
gate 200 pounds. They measure from 43
to 44 inches round, and I don’t believe,
for the product of one single vine, they
can be beat anywhere. I don’t know
much about farming either, but these
mammoth things, as they stare me in the
face, make me feel proud—no, humble —
for I am in the presence of a great mys
tery which wiser heads than mine cannot
explain.
The soil in this county seems capable of
wonders, if you just help it a little. We
are only waiting for new comers here.
We will give them a climate that is un
surpassed, homes that can be made beau
tiful, gardens that are worth cultivating,
and by-and-by, groves that will insure
immunity from want, forever and ever.
We see your paper occasionally. There
are some people of fine tastes here, and
they pronounce it the best of all they re
ceive among the weeklies. We want to
get up reading clubs and dramatic asso
ciations, and churches, and then we shall
feel that we are in the way of progress.
We have already a school house, a store,
depot, and we contemplate a saw mill for
the future, a handsome chapel, a town
house, and figures for a population to
which we can add two or more ciphers.
Then we shall sign ourselves proudly the
citizens of Palmer. M. A. D.
inviting Attention to Gen. Jackson.
Editor Morning Mews: The name of
Gen. Henry R. Jackson has been promi
nently brought forward and very thor
oughly canvassed as the name that should
lead to victory before the Democratic con
vention soon to meet in this city to nomi
nate the candidate for Congress from the
First district.
On the roster of brilliant men whom the
State of Georgia has reason to be proud of,
I know no name that should stand higher,
or a man that so completely comes up to
the standard of measurement than does
the same and man Henry Root Jackson;
and it may not be amiss just at this time
to give a short resume of his life aud
work.
Gen. Jackson was born at Athens,
Clarke county, Georgia, his father being
the late Dr. Henry Jackson, a man dis
tinguished in his day. Young Jackson,
after the usual preliminary studies, gradu
ated at Y’ale Colleire and studied law. He
made his first political speech at Prince
ton Factory, near Athens, in 1834, at a
barbecue, which speech was convincing
and gained much applause.
Alter studying law and entering on its
practice in Savannah, young Jackson was
elected Captain of the “Irish Jasper
Greens,” with which command he entered
the Mexican war. In 1846 he was promoted
to the Colonelcy of the regiment, and was
succeeded in the Captaincy of the
“Greens” by that sterling man, the late
Capt. John McMahon.
After the Mexican tygr Co]. Jackson
was appointed District Attorney for the
district of Georgia. Afterwards was
elected Judge of the Superior Court for
the Eastern Circuit,and daring the Judge
ship the following incident of history
occurred: In 1851 a steam vessel moored
at the Eastern wharves and was sus
pected ol complicity iu the Lonez insur
rection Againsf Cuba. The Unfted States
District Attorney, the late Henry Wil
liams, Esq., hearing of the arrival of the
vessel, obtained a warrant for her seizure
and placed it in the hands of the United
States Marshal to execute. The crew of
the vessel, armed to the teeth, defied
the authority of the United States. Judge
Jackson was appealed to by the Sheriff of
this county, the late Benjamin Cole, and
Judge Jackson Issued his warrant for the
capture of the vessel. The authority of
the State of Georgia being defied, Judge
Jackson went down to the vessel, crossed
the gang plank, and unarmed trod the
deck of the vessel, arrested the conspira
tors aud seized the vessel, thereby sus
taining and maintaining the dignity and
majesty of the State of Georgia.
Shortly after this Judge Juekson was
appointed Minister to Austria under the
administration of President Pierce. It
was while Minister that a German-
American citizen 011 a visit to the father
land was arrested for the evasion of the
requirement of military service. Minister
Jackson, on hearing of the case, asserted
the dignity of the United States and com
pelled the recognition of American citi
zenship of the former German subject.
011 his return from Austria Judge Jack
son resumed the practice ot law in Sa
vannah, and continued thereat until the
breaking out of hostilities between the
States. He then entered the Confederate
service and was made a General. Among
other military exploits, he won the Green
brier fight. On the return of peace Gen.
Jackson returned to Savannah, and has
since kept as bright and untarnished
from even .the shade of suspicion as had
always been the character, integrity and
patriotism which is now presented to the
Democracy of the First district.
Gen. Jackson is an orator, a most able
and distinguished jurist, a man of
acknowledged literary attainments and a
poet, and who can read his lines “The
Red Old Hills of Georgia,” but must con
fess that the man who gives utterance to
such sentiments can do but one thing,
and that is in the halls of Congress repre
sent truly and indeed, not only the First
district, but the entire grand old State of
Georgia from her “red old hills” down to
the sea gi^borders of the First district
and his fellows without a
superior, uven though an equal might be
there. Chatham .
She Loved Eternal Punishment So.
A good old Methodist lady, very par
ticular and very pious, once kept a board
ing house in New Y’ork. Staunch to her
principles, she would take no one to board
who did not hold to the eternal punish
ment of a large portion of the race. But
the people were more intent on carnal
comforts than spiritual health, so that in
time her house became empty, much to
her grief and alarm.
After some time a bluff old sea Captain
knocked at the door, and the old lady
answered the call.
“Good mornin’, ma’am. Can you give
me board for two or three days?" Got my
ship here, aud shall be off soon as I load.”
“Wa’al, I don’t know,” said the old
lady.
“Oh, house full, eh?”
“No, but ’’
“But what, ma’am?”
“I don’t take any unclean or carnal
people in my house. What do you be

“About what?”
“Why, do you believe that anyone will
be condemned ?”
“Oh, thunder! yes.”
“Do you ?” said" the good woman, bright
ening up. “Well, how man% souls do you
think will be on fire eternally?”
“Don’t know, ma’am, really—never cal
culated that.”
“Can’t you guess?”
“Can’t say—perhaps 50,000.”
“Wa’al, hem!” mused the old woman;
“I guess i’ll take you: 50.000 burning
souls is better than nothing.”— Eli Per

AT THE WATERING PLACES.
I The Old Time Gaieties Showing a Fall
ing Off This Season.
Correspondence of the Morning Mews'.
New York, July 11. —The present out
look of the watering places, several of
which I have visited recently, is not very
promising to the hotel proprietors and
gives little evidence of much gayety in
society circles. In Newport there are so
many empty houses, so many mansions
closed and barred, and so many have
passed into strange hands, that until the
new elements that are to make society
there this summer are well fused
and blended, little or nothing can go on.
The “royal and imperial families of Astor
and Vanderbilt,” as they were imperti
nently named last season, are conspicu
ous by their absence. The doors of Mrs.
Paran Stevens’ hospitable mansiou.which
were forever turning on their busy hinges,
will be closed to her friends this season.
There will be no charminsr dinners at Mr.
C. C. Baldwin’s. Lady Mandeviile. Mrs.
Griswold Gray, Miss l’znaga,
Mrs. George Rivers, Mr. Fred
eric Stevens, Mrs. Edward Cooper,
Mrs. Lloyd Bryce and the Misses Hewitt
are all among the absent. The arrival of
Mr. James Gordon Bennett, who is ex
pected to sail about the middle ot this
month direct for Newport in his vacht
Namouna, will make a stir in yachting as
well as social circles and mav'give rise to
a little temporary gayety. The hotels are
all open at Saratoga, and 3,000 or 4,000
people come and go daily, but emptiness
in tt)e midst of vastness is the only idea
conveyed to the visitor's mind at the
present moment. At the United States
there are but a handful of people as yet.
The life is rather a rural one at present,
excursions to Mount McGregor and to the
lake for trout dinners and woodcock sup
pers being the chief diversions.
SARATOGA IS, DURING ITS SHORT SUMMER
MONTHS,
a great political centre, a racing and
sporting focus, a meeting place for every
scientific and professional association
throughout the country, and a rallying
point for tourists from’ every city in’ the
Union. This year the Baltimore hounds
are to be bunted there and several stables
of racers are now in daily training. Sara
toga is, in short, a place apart, unlike
any other watering place on the face of
the earth, and, while it is distinctly na
tional and American, its floating popula
tion is made up of representatives from
every part of the civilized world. Lenox,
which is the autumn Newport, is expected
to suffer as many changes in her social
world this summer as her prototype by
tbe sea. Mrs. Hartman Kuhn, one of the
oldest residents of Lenox, and whose
house was one of the most delight! ul
in the village, has closed it and
gone to Europe, and Mr. and Mrs. David
Lydig, who are among the oldest habitues
of tbe place, are living at Garden City.
The enlarged hotel will probably bring an
influx of new people, who will introduce
new ways and new hours and interfere
with the primitive simplicity which has
hitherto been Berkshire’s great charm.
Long Branch is similarly afflicted with
Newport, though there are, of course, as
in the case of tne latter named Mecca, a
few well known people. Among them are
Commodore Garrison and Gen. Grant. It
is conceded by the Commodore's triends
that his health has improved 6ince his ar
rival, although he is stijl feeble, and his
voice cannot always be heard distinctly.
He seems cheerful and resigned to his
financial losses, to which he alludes freely,
but more as if it were a relief to him that
the crisis had come at last, and he no
longer had the dread of it hanging over
him, thau as if he felt any bitterness
about his lost fortune. Mrs. Garrison
also bears their pecuniary losses with
cheerfulness. She has never been an ex
travagant woman, and since her hus
band's losses has made up her mind to
retrench wherever possible. The cottage
at the Branch was settled on her when it
was built in 1881, and now she will sell it
as soon as she can. If sold this season,
the family will probably take rooms at the
West End Hotel. Mrs. Garrison’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Randall, are expected to
join them soon.
COMMODORE GARRISON WAS ON INTI
MATE TERMS
with his wife’s father when she was a
little girl, and has always been fond of
him. Last summer he would not permit
Mr. and Mrs. Randall to stay anywhere
but in the cottage with him, but they
have never lived with him in New Y'ork.
He and Mr. Randall play cards together a
great deal. In the eveni’ngs during other
summers since Commodore Garrison has
had a cottage, Gen. Grant and
he, Mr. Randall aud G. W.
Childs, of Philadelphia, played euchro
together nearly every ' evening,
sometimes at the residence of one and
sometimes at that of another. This sum
mer it is understood there will not he the
old intimacy between the Grants and Gar
risons, the latter having lost by the fail
ure of the former. Of course the ladies of
the family will not be estranged by this.
Not only Commodore Garrison, but his
father-in-law, Mr. Randall, lost by the
failure of Grant & Ward. The Commo
dore had indorsed to the amount of $50,-
000 for Col. Fred. Grant, and had to pay
it. One of the subjects which was fur
nishing food for talk when X left Long
Branch to return to the city was a rumor
that Gen. Grant’s creditors lately seized
his horses. Apparent confirmation
of the rumor is found in the
fact that the General is often seen in the
afternoou driving in his wife’s open car
riage with her and their daughter and
one or more of his grandchildren, instead
of in a light buggy behind a
fast trotter alone or with a gentleman
friend, or driving a rapid steed alone, the
manner in which he was oftenest seen
riding in the old days, both in Washing
ton WDen he was President and on the
hard shell road at the Branch. Even
when he had the coach and four in Wash
ington he was seldom seen in it, and once
while he was President (during the elec
toral commission in 1877), I heard him
say how he loved to get out with his fast
horse on one of the quiet roads outside of
Washington, and “unlimber” his steed
and hear the clatter of the swift moving
hoofs on the road.
Mr. Warner, to whom Ferdinand Ward
first made an assignment, is Gen. Grant’s
next door neighbor. Mr. Warner paid,
it is said by one who ought to know,
$60,000 for this cottage a little while be
fore the great failure began.
THERE HAVE BEEN RUMORS IN WALL
STREET
for some time past that Russell Sage, the
veteran dealer in puts and calls, had been
seriously affected in health by the terrible
mental strain to which he was exposed
during the recent Wall street panic, one
of the incidents of which was a run upon
Mr. Sage of several days’ duration by the
holders of his privileges. In the case of
the famous operator the strain was not
mental alone, but financial as well, inas
much as he was obliged to pay out over
$7,000,000, several millions of which was
a dead loss. The story that Mr. Sage’s
losses, together with ’ the excitement
of the ordeal through which he passed,
and the threats of personal violence
made against him had combined to shatter
his health, were at first denied. Yester
day, however, it was semi-officially an
nounced that Mr. Sage was suffering
from serious nervous prostration, and
that his physicians have ordered him to
give up active business in YVall street.
Mr. Sage intends, it is alleged: to obey
this mandate and to retire from active
participation in the struggles of the street.
He will begin settling up his stock
privilege business at once, it is said; but
he does not contemplate a complete with
drawal of all his interests in the railroad
and other enterprises in which he is
associated with Mr. Gould. 3lr. Sage is
74 years of age, and a millionare several
times over. His health had been good,
considering his advanced age, until the
recent financial troubles. Mr. Sage was
confined to his house for several days
after the panic bv an attack of nervous
Erostration. A few days ago he went to
ong Island for rest and recuperation,
and ba9 not yet returned to the city.
The details of the marriage of Miss Fan
ny Ronalds, who is a well-known society
favorite in New Y'ork city, to Mr. Thomas
Hay Ritchie, of Belfast, present several
interesting points. Beyond the immedi
ate members of the two families most in
terested, only the Duke and Duchess of
Marino Colonna, and Lord and Lady Wal
singham wore present. The bride was at
tended by her father and mother, and fol
lowed by two daughters of the house of
Colonna, as bridesmaids. She wore orna
ments presented by the Prince and Prin
cess of YVales and the Duchess of Albany,
and the bridal party marched out ot church
to the rhythm of Mendelssohn’* Wedding
March from no less distinguished hands
than those of Sir Arthur Sullivan. A
brilliant assembly of nobles and common
ers was entertained afterwards at the
residence of the bride’s grandfather, the
band of tbe Second Life Guards making
the music, and winding up with “Hail
Columbia."
The presents were many and splendid,
the titled of England contributing most
.renerously to the list of wedding gifts.
jl. rs - ltitchie received from her father a
get t>f silver and a check, from Miss
Catherine W'olle, of New York, a check,
from Ritchie a check, and to show
how English lovers greet their wives, the
groom’s presents alone numbered thirty.
TWO SOCIETY GIRLS,
one a New Y’orker and the other
a Philadelphian, have hit upon
a novel plan for making
the summer pass pleasantly and benefi
cially for themselves. The New Yorker
is to be at Long Braaeh and the Philadel
phian at Cape May, md they have agreed
to exchange gossipy letters daily Sreating
of persons and things at both resorts, the
letters to be published ra the autumn in
book form. The great difficulty in the
way of a successful fulfillment' of their
original plan, it seems to me, is that un
less they are unusually bright women
thev will not be able to keep up the strain
which the writing of a daily letter St
for publication would entail upon them.
M.
SHARP TALK ON WALL STREET
Blackwood’s Magazine on the “Free-
Booteis of American Finance.”
The July number ol Blackwood's Maga
zine will contain a forcible article on
“The Freebooters of American Finance.”
In it some of our great “operators” and
“philanthropists” are handled without
gloves. These paragraphs are taken from
advance sheets of the magazine:
“Neither Dr. Talmage nor Henry Ward
Beecher has yet succeeded, 1 believe, in
framing anew decalogue for America.but
that event cannot be far distant. * * *
The America** regard the accidents and
misfortunes of commercial life lrom a
different standpoint to ours. In describ
ing matters where old-fashioned morality
still presumes to intrude on the liberty
and license of financial enterprise, they
use a terminology which has been modi
fied to suit their special wants. * * *
In Wall street and at the Produce Ex
change—nay, even at the more primitive
centres of speculation in oil—people are
far more polite to each other. Operators
in these refined regions may come to
grief, or they may have to “lie down on
their contracts,’ but they never commit
what in the old country we call acts of
bankruptcy. They may ‘rehypothecate’
securities which they hold in pledge, but
they would be shocked at the suggestion
ol embezzlement. Dr. Talmage, who is
pre-eminently tbe hisrh pi lest of trans
atlantic civilization, brought out the dis
tinctive feature of its moralitt' very
lucidly—in fact, he made an important
contribution to the Wall street decalogue
of the future —when he observed in his
sermon on the failure of the Marine
National Bank: ‘Our sympathies should
be given for the financial sufferers. We
have heard only one side of the story.
The word ‘mistake’ will often cover
what the world calls a swindle.”

“In what other country need one look
for roguery so cleverly disguised as in
the following advertisement, cut from a
New York paper not three weeks old?
17*011 SALE—DEFAULTED RAILWAY
X 1 BON DS and Marine Bank stock, suitable
lor assets, cheap. Address .
“The reader may ask in bewilderment,
‘What on earth could any one want to
buy “assets” for?’ A New Y'ork trader
who had come to grief after the panic
would ‘catch on’ to the idea at once. He
has got to meet his creditors, and possi
bly—very probably, in fact —he is not
able to submit to them a statement of his
affairs which is at all likely to satisty
them. His trouble is that he has no
assets worth speaking of, and that his
losses cannot be readily accounted for.
If he applies to the above advertiser, he
may supply himself, at the cost of a few
dollars apiece, with shares in some insol
vent bank, or defaulted bonds of some
‘wildcat’ railway. Thus provided, he has
only to appeal to the sympathy of his
creditors as an unfortunate investor who,
for years back, has been putting all his
hard-earned savings into ‘these worthless
stocks before you, gentlemen.’
“To have been the legal owner of two
millions sterling, and then to have to call
a halt for want of a few hundred dollars,
is an antithetical, experience to be looked
for only in America. But there are
financial freebooters to whom even two
millions sterling are a fleabite. In one of
the early scares in YVall street Mr. Gould
caused some fun by the alacrity with
which he turned out the contents of his
strong box in order to disprove the re
port that he had been pledging them to
raise money. The aggregate value of the
securities exhibited, taken at the current
prices of the day, was fully $200,000,000.
If Mr. Gould had held on to them all
through the subsequent decline they
would by this time, to use nil expressive
phrase of his own, have been ‘scaled
down’ to thirty, or at most forty, mil
lions. But it is not probable that Mr.
Gould did hold on.
“Little wonder that Mr. Gould should
find it easier to make millions of dollars
than other men do to earn bread and
cheese. The mystery is, that he should
still find fools to play with him. YYlietker
gambling be repressible or not—most
likely it is not—so as it cpntinues it
should be made as nearly square as possi
ble. But it cannot be square without a
neutral stakeholder, and that is what gam
blers can seldom or never, have who risk
their money in Wall Street; The finan
cial freebooters whom they play against
control the stakes in having the manage
ment of the property gambled in. They
can pay unearned dividends, and they
can plunder or waste In a hundred differ
ent ways dividends which have been
earned. They can publish traffic state
ments when they are good and withhold
them when they are bad. They can
deliberately kill a good property Lv
strangling it with unprofitable leas'es or
guarantees; thev can make a bad property
look good by temporarily turning traffic
on to it which they can turn off again at
their own pleasure. It is not merely the
control of the property that gives them a
fradulent advantage, but they may also
command the bulk of the securities dealt
in. Some of the Gould lines, for instance,
are represented here by a few million dol
lars’ worth of shares out of thirty or forty
millions in existence. The other twenty
five or thirty-five millions, ns the case
may be, is probably pledged with some
bank in New York," or planted among a
few of the ‘insiders’ whom Mr. Gould
U9es as confederates. They can make
the stocks scarce or plentiful just as they
please. If they are engineering a fall
1 hey spread bad reports, encourage sell
ing, and lend out the stock freely to
bears. At a preconcerted moment they
deny the bad reports and call in the bor
rowed stock, when the bears get their
necks twisted. If the game be to ‘force a
rise,’ they spread good reports, lock up
the stock, and give an impression of
scarcity, till the favorable moment comes
for letting it loose on the heads of the
frightened bulls.
“Another class of financial freebooter
who has been making things lively in
YVall street is the organizer of syndicates
to build competing railways. Several of
these have come to grief of late, and it is
doubtful if they do not deserve less sym
pathy than Mr. Gould himself. * * *
The evil that a stock manipulator does
dies with him, but a competing railway
for which there is no room lives, in a
fashion, forever. * * * The harm it
does to itself is a trifle compared with the
mischief done to pre-existing lines whose
business it filches from them. * * *
Not only is the property itself harmed,
but all railway property in America is
discredited through it. British investors
should have this peculiar risk of Ameri
can railways made clear to them, and as
far as possible they should know the men
who are specially "responsible for it. * * *
“What with rate wars, thimble-rigging
in YVall street, corruption from top to
bottom in their administration, threatened
dictation and interference by every
State Legislature, and a mania for the
building of competing lines, which are
not needed, and are never meant to pay,
the future of American railways is far
from brilliant. It would be difficult to
imagine securities less enticing for quiet,
unambitious investors.”
FISHING WITH DYNAMITE.
A Mysterious Yacht Creating Havoc in
the Niagara Kiver.
Within the last few days, says a Buf
falo (New York) special to tbe Philadel
phia Press , thousands, of dead fish have
beenfloatingdown Niagara river. Among
them have been large sturgeons, hand
some muscalonges, black bass and catfish.
On the beach, from Bayview to Dunkirk,
the dead bodies of fish have been washed
ashore. All appeared to have died within
a short time. It seems as if some fatal
disease had spread through the water and
caught these finny creatures in its em
brance.
A veteran angler said: “One after
i noon, a few days ago, 1 was fishing on the
i reef two miles out in the Lake. I saw
! moving slowly in the distance a small
I steam pleasure yacht. She had a cabin
; running her lull length and appeared to
hive a number of- people aboard. She
| exhibited great shyness and acted as if
*** £**£ to keep out of sight. Further
out in the lake several boys were fishing
her . Cf> urse. As she ajv
tfcera *\e hailed and asked tile
hifn t l ° *i ut .this was simplv a
’ * Q f, was n °t IPoing to Dunkirk, for
1 saw her the next day lying at Irvine
During the evening of that day the people
on the shore heard a rumbling sound
under water, as if a small clap of thunder
had gone ofT l>eneath the surface. The
next dav, and for several davs after, dead
fish came ashore. The bladder 0 t some
were bursted. My theory is that the
fellows in that boat, for the purpose of
securing a haul, sunk charges of dynamite
into the water aud touched them off with
electricity. Tbe fish that were near suf
fered the breaking of their bladders, and
others were stunned. Those that were
stunned would, of course, float, and could
easily be picked up bv those in tbe boat.
A number of barrels of fish, which did not
show the mark of a hook, were sold within
a day or two at Irving. ’’
The matter has been called to the atten
tion of the authorities, and an effort wi!
be made to find ahd punish the criminals
LIVING A LIFE OF MISERY.
The Struggle of a Bankrupt's Family
to Curtail Expenses and Keep Up Ap.
pearanee*.
It only requires a little imagination,
says the Louisville Courier-Journal, to
picture the miseries of a family when
bankruptcy is impending. The struggle
to keep up appearances; the impos
sibility of curtailing expenses lest suspi
cion be aroused; the demand for ready
money to defray necessary expenses, and
the lack of it as great as that which exists
among the street mendicants; to ride in
your carriage and look with envy upon
the laborer who earns and is paid his pit
tance ; to be obliged to resort to subterfuge
when servants’ wages are due; not to be
able to pay the bills oftrades-people when
presented; to feel that your life is a lie,
and you a fraud! How many are living
just such lives?
How many there are to-day who feel
that the sword is suspended above their
heads by only a hair, and that at any mo
ment it may fall? Only last Monday a
gentleman, who is reputed to be worth
$5,000,000, said to his wite, when he kissed
her good-bye on his way to the oity: “It
this were only another Sunday! Then I
would know that nothing could happen.
But every other day has its anxieties.”
Many are still anxious and hourly ex
pecting something to happen which will
make matters worse, for all feel that the
troubles are far from being over, and sar
the worst is yet to come.
It is with such painful forebodiugs that
men now go to their places of business.
Confidence has been destroyed by the fre
quency of defalcations where least ex
pected, failures which disclose rottenness
and treachery where least suspected.
There are many more who are to be laid
low before the business of tbe country is
established on a more secure basis, and
there must be less extravagance.
