The stock market to-day wa < the dullest for many weeks, and price s sagged nearly all day, though final changes in but few cases’ amount to more than small fractions. The fluctuations were confined to the narrowest limits, while there was no special pressure to sell. There were only two stocks in which the extreme fluctuation exceeded 1 percent.. Union Pacific and New England; while the latter developed s dden weakness, the former was specially strong until the afternoon, when it gave way with the remainder. Manhattan was again notably strong, and after opening down, ad vanced 2 1 e-r cent. The movements in the re mainder. except Fort Worth and Denver, which was strong, and Canadian Pacific, which was weak, call for no comment. The opening was somewhat irregular, but generally firm at ad vances extending to % per cent. There was a momentary heaviness in the early trading. A rally followed soon, however, and fractional ad vances were established. The list became very dull, and slight gains were in most cases lost before the end of the first hour, after which prices slowly sagged off. There was no change whatever in the market, and It closed very dull at about the lowest prices reached. Trans actions amounted to 178.990 shares. Closing prices show irregular changes, but declines are in the majority, though Canadian Pacific with 1% per cent, was the only important loss, while Manhattan rose 1% and Fort Worth and Denver 1 per cent.

Green & Co.’s report on cotton futures savs: “The market has been slow and dragging pretty much all day. Occasional indications of an at tempt to neutral lie the declining tendency might be noted, but it carried little influence, and with the supply constantly overlapping the demand, the cost went off steadily. Liverpool was disappointing, there could be found predic tions of a coming addition to tho volume of re ceipts, and with actual cotton tending in this direction in a more liberal manner, the hulls were feeling pretty tiled. There was a decline of s@? points, with no recovery, but the final tone was steady. ” The New York Cotton Exchange will be closed Saturday, Dec. 24.

Chicago, Dec. 15.—The provision market was the only one which displayed life at the opening of the Board of Trade to day. The continued light receipts of hogs caused May pork, which closed yesterday at sls 25, to open at sls 30, and in the first flurry it ran up to sls 37%. Shortly after it went back to sls 15. Then, under purely iocal deals, it rose to sls 27% before tbe call hoard convened. Toward the close of the morn ing session some heavy local operators began bulling lard, and in sympathy pork went to sls 52%. The upward movement was also con sidered as being due to the covering done by shorts. Wheat and corn and oats were very dull and fluctuated within the limits of %c.

This comes before the public with all the sanction de rived from a pajier read before the Royal Society, and with all the authority attached to the name of the distinguished astron omer, Norman Lockycr. The new theory, he declares, is the result not of sjietmlation, bat of spectroscopic research. It is summed up in the statement that all the self lumi nous bodies in the celestial spac'-s are com posed of meteorites or massos of meteoric vapor, produced by heat brought about by the condensation of meteor swarms due to gravity. Tills hypothesis, if accepted, may, as one eulogist "roioarks, weld ail previous knowledge into oue harmonious whole. At present it is received by men of science un der all reserves.

A Tragedy Recalled by the Finding or an Old P stol Barrel. Frnm the San Francinco Examiner. A rusty pistol barrel, the relic of a dra matic and sanguinary episode which oc curred in this State before it had passed from under the dominion of the Mexicans, can no.v lie seen in one of the glass cases in the museum of the State Mining Bureau. The tale which is associ ited with it is one of hot-blooded love, passion and jealousy— a narrative such as a novelist might found a dozen stirring chapters upon. The remnant of the weapon, which would have been as little thought of as any old re volver in a pawnbroker’s shop, had it r.nt been for the last thrilling combat in which it figured, was recently found by a little son of J. A. Manters, while playing in the tim ber of the northern part of the town of (iridley, Butte county It hail apparently lain there for many years. The earth had covered it, and its once glittering surface was black and dingy with age. Tiie barrel is 4 inches in length, and is thicker than that of a Winchester rifle. The boy was, of course, unaware of the value of the old piece of metal, but jwirtief who looked at it found that the tube was all * right, and tliat with anew stock the weapon would be ready for use again. It was consequently preserved, and, being sub jected to further examination, a small gold plate was found by the side of the nipple. Some letters were engraved thereon. They had been somewhat worn away, but by the aid of a magnifying glass it was seen that they were “H. ilcti.” It was then that the following story was related: In the fall of 1839 a party of Mexicans were traveling through what is now Butte county, their destination being the valley where the town of Chico now' stands. The train of horses and wagons with which the men and women were journeying in the slow style of that day belonged to a wealthy Spaniard named Ijapesada. He and his family constituted the principal portion of the party. Ho had many an acre in Alta California, and on his lands grazed innumerable horses and cattle, but his most prized possession was a daughter, who was then, at ltl years of age, the very embodiment of all that soft beauty and sensuous grace peculiar to the women of Castilian descent. It was natural for men to fall in love with her. Like all girls w-ith the warm, passionate blood of .Mexico coursing in her veins, her bodily develonment hail been rapid, her affections had ripened early, and at the age of 16 she w as already a woman. Among those who were her worshipers wore an American named Thomas Lousing, who bail been born in Vermont, anil a Scotchman named Harvv McGruigan. They were constantly near her, and the in fluence of her presence never allowed their love to cool. McGruigan hail more oppor tunities than Lansing to lie in her society and advance his suit, since ho was secretary to Don Lapezuila, and took his meals at table with the family. Lansing was the wagon boss, and had general charge of the caravan while on the road. Both had lived in Mexico and among the Mexicans for a long time, and were as familiar with the language as a native. McGruigan was a pleasant wooer ( besides being much handsomer than Lansing, and soon the latter saw that his rival was smiled upon, while ho himself had none of the girl’s regard. Naturally fiery tempered, Lansing conceived a violent hatred for the Hootch man, and never missed a chance to seek a row with McGruigan. Throughout the journey lie had repeatedly endeavored to involve McGruigan in trouble. It was thus mattei’s'stood when the valley in which Gridlev is situated was reached. There Lansing insulted McGruigan in such a man ner that the latter yielded to his angry feel ings and challenged the other to a duel. This was just what Lai>sing desired. He had been waiting for the moment when ho might kill his successful rival ever since the lovely senorita had let the Scotchman know that her heart was all his own. None of the usual formalities of the code were needed for such an encounter as the men proposed. They repaired to a grove of timber then occupying tho site of what is at present the town of Gridlev, and there, after a short space had been measured off, began shooting at each other with their pis tols. Three shots were fired by each man. The third bullet from Lansing's pistol was effective. The ambition of his hatred had been satisfied, as the leaden [diet entered McGruigan’s brain, and he fell dead. Lansing himself hail received a bullet in his left arm, and one shot from McGruigan’s weapon had carried away the lobe of his right ear. Having satisfied himself that McGruigan was dead and would trouble him no longer. Lansing turned to leave the spot. Ho had replaced his pistol in his belt and given a last hasty glance at the face of the dead man, when from behind the trees appeared the girl herself. She crept up behind Lansing and stabbed him in the neck with a stiletto, severing the jugular vein Ho sank on the grass and died. The girl had noticed the two men leaving camp, hud been attracted to the scene of the duel by the sound of the firing, and had arrived there in time to see the man she loved fall lifeless to the ground. The fate of the girl herself seems to have been forgotten. The pistol barrel now on exhibition is sup posed to be the identical one used by Mc- Gruigan in that bloody contest. OFFICIAL. ORDINANCES.
