The Madisonian tells this amusing story of
the long ago: In the long, long ago. near
the village now known as Standfordvllle. but
better known as’Devil s Hall Acre, in Put
nam county, there was once a small town by
the name of Upper Level.’ Time has oblit
erated all signs of this ancient town, and only
wild vines and underbrush now mark the spot
where it once stood. In its palmiest days
Upper Level' was a great resort for sporting
men. who would gather there, at certain
times, for the purpose of horse racing and
gambling. In 1834. on the day preceding the
night, when the stupendous meteoric display
in the heavens tilled the world with conster
nation and amazement, the little village of
‘Upper Level' had on its best clothes, and
was royally entertaining a large crowd of
gamblers and horse racers, who had gathered
♦here for a days sport. Some time
during the day a man lost a valu
able sadule. and after searching high
and low and falling to find It. he brought
down all the curses and anathemas in the vo
caliulary on the head of the person who had
stolen It. When night came, and the meteors
began flashing across the skies. Increasing
every minute in volume and force, the terror
of these people can be better imagined than
described. Every one thought that judgment
day had surely arrived, and where oaths and
jests had reigned a few hours before, all was
now prayers and cries to heaven for forgive
ness. The thief who stole the saddle was so
overcome with fright that he went out in the
bushes, procured the article and returned it
to Its owner But ’Upper Level’ is Upper
Level’ no more. Only wild birds and rabbits
sing and plav among the bushes where it
once was; and the wind sighing through the
trees at night stems to rhant a requiem over
the desolate spot."
Macon Telegraph: Spencer Douglas,
who Is very well known to a number ot peo
ple in Macon. and is now an officer in the
united States navy on the ship
Newark, stationed at Rio. Brazil, writes an
interesting tetter to a friend in Macon. The
letter is dated Dec. 7. Mr. Douglas says:
"There has not been much excitement here
since X wrote you last, considering the fact
that we are ln the midst of war; or probably
we have become so used to It that it has lost
its charm. Certainly, the tiring is just as con
tinuous and the marksmanship just as poor.
One pretty sight we had the opportunity of
seeing was the sinking of the rebel monitor
Javary by a ten pounder shell from one of the
forts, and the next day the burning of a rebel
store ship by the government forces. All
of this took place very close to where we
were lying; in fact, so dose that the shots
aimed at the two steamers, Cumba and Jupi
ter. frequently fell within 50 or 100 feet of us
and we were compelled to move out. Peixoto
has fortifled the town strongly, armed
every available hill and built breast
works six feet thick of sand bags all along
the water front. On Mello leaving the other
day command was assumed by Admiral Sol
uana de Gama. De Gama was in command
of tta'* navy school and the Ilpa da Cobras
hospital (naval) and fortress,and has up to the
present been a neutral on account of not
wishing to implicate the cadets, who have
followed him to a man into the rebel cause.
On account of his being an imperialist, I am
rather inclined to think that his combining
with Mello has a significance. He is gener
ally acknowledged to be the brightest man in
Brazil and has the largest following, so, all in
all, I am not sure that the .rebels have lost
ground, though they have lost severaljpoints
of advantage here. Officially, Soldana Is a
very clever man, and socially a very pleasant
one’ He was for years minister to Washing
ton, and It was from our own naval academy
that they modelled this one in Brazil."

New York. Jan. 18.—There was very little
doing in the stock market to day. The under
tone was strong, the efforts to oreate uneasi
ness regarding the portion of hanks in the
event of a revival of gold shipments being off
set by the more favorable trade reports, and
the decision of the ways and means commit
tee not to tackle the income, matter on the
tariff bill. This was considered as meaning
an early decision, so far as the Wilson bill is
concerned. The further accumulation of
money at thts centre was another point ln fa
vor of the bulls, the banks having gained *6.-
787.025 In surplus reserve. They
now hold *92.583,675 above the legal
requirements. This breaks the record
once more; Manhattan was one ot
the strongest stocks on the list, advancing
from 12354 to 12354 on light transactions. The
refusal of the general term of the supreme
court to confirm the report of commission for
a cross town elevated system led to some cov
ering by the tears who put out short eon
tracts early in the week The general market
first advanced '4 to 4 per cent, then lost most
of this gain, but ln th“ final, transactions was
firm again under the leadership of Sugar and
left off at or near the 1 est figures of the dav

New York. Jan. 13.—The Sun ln Its review
of toslay's cotton market says: There was
a decline of 12 to 14 points, mainly owing to
dlsappolnt.ng news from Liverpool, where
prices declined slightly in the face of a note-
worthy advance here yesterday. Local and
European selling contributed to the depres
sion. The Liverpool market was influenced
unfavorably by cables from New Orleans, re
porting that an unexpectediy large quantity
of cotton hail come into sight the past week.
After the close to-day prices recovered 2
points, owing to estimated receipts at New
Orleans on Monday of only B.OOU or 9.000 bales,
against 9.485 on the same duy last week, and
11.547 last year. Liverpool opened 1 to 2
points higher, but lest the improvement, and
declined 1 point, closing steady, with spot sales
of lo.ouo bales at unchanged quotations. New .
Orleans declined tf points. Receipts at the
ports were 19.741 bales, against 32,088 bales
this day last week and 14.995 last year. The
exports from the port, 9,757 bales to Great
Britain; 10.852 hales to branee, and 8 715
bales to the continent. Spot cotton here was
l-16c lower; no sales. There was an advance
of Rc at five of the southern markets,"
New York. Jan. IS.- Klordnn A Cos. say of
cotton: The week bus been full of encour
agement for the bulls. The lighter move
ment. together tvlth crop figures of R. T. Wil
son A Cos., a careful and conservative house,
who estimate they could at less than 5.101M100
bales, have brought a change In the attitude
in tialers. nn l the prevailing feeling here at
the moment is that prices will be higher.
The price of March deliveries rose to 8.30, but
Liverpool to day, Influenced by bearish ca
bles from New Orleans refused to respond to
our advances. The result was that many who
hid hougnt yesterday threw their purchases
overboard to-day, besides there was a constant
selling by timid longs, who feared their
profits may slip away from them and the
market yielded under the pressure. March
opened at 822 and though there were occa
sioual brief rallies, the general tendency dur
ing two hours of trading was downward.
March declining in the last five minutes to
8.16. The close was steady with 8.17 bid for
March After the close on the estimate that
New Orleans would get op Monday only B.ouo
bales to 9,060 bales against 11.547 on the same
day last year, the demand stiffened and
8.1.4 was freely paid for March We estimate
port receipts for the coming week at about
110,000 bales, against 97.683 bales for the cor
responding week last season, but It Is ex
peeled that the movement to the ports will
lie largely at the expense of Interior stocks
Rnd that the amount of cotton coming Into
sight, during the coining week, will thus
show a material decrease as compared with
last year. The prospect for the Immediate
future Is that we shall have an active and
variable market, with frequent and lively ad
vances. followed by sharp reactions, unless,
however, we are badly mistaken in our Im
presston that the crop will not exceed 7,200,-
UOO bales, the general trend of prices
Is likely to be upward. We think it very dan

Cuicago, Jan. 13.—The day tn the grain mar
kets was a dull and uneventful one, and the
general tendency downward Wheat closed
‘4c above Its lowest price, with a net loss of
*,®Rc for the day. The range of prices in
corn was ‘4®4tc, and the net loss was Rc.
Oats opened v,e below yesterday's close, and
lost J4e ln addition. Provisions were weaker
on a larger excetaof hogs than were expected
to arrive, and a corresponding decline on
their price. After some decline had been
made there appeared a good demand for pork,
which carried the price of the article over
yesterday’s close. Lard and ribs, however,
did not participate in the rea tion. May pork
gained 5c for the day. May lard lost 10c and
May ribs closed 5c lower than yesterday.
There was a good domestic shipping demand,
but continental Inquiry was quiet. Foreign
and domestic markets were both steady.
