During the attack the natives made a great deal of noise, and the clamor attracted the attention of *ome of the English soldiery on duty. These at first supposed that the fight was merely one of the usual native rows, but when they discovered the character of the as­ sailed they made a descent upon the assail­ ants, liberated Long, and captured all the ring­ leaders.

Trevelyan, in reply, said it would be idle to deny the existence of personal danger in the task of governing Irelaud. The remedy against, outrages was to have a tribu­ nal which could be trusted to do justice with­ out fear. When the Irish people are oonvinopd that they have a tribunal which will five a verdict according to the evidence, it will aye an important effect. Those who expected agrarian murders to suddonly cease were ex­ pecting as impossibility. The fixed policy of the Government is to distinguish between crim­ inal and political acts. They did not care to oonoern themselves with political meetings, but against outrages they were determined to wage Mi undying and unrelenting war. The remarks of Trevelyan wore received with cheers.

Heroic Capture by a Xm* Torjt Domestic of a Prowling Marauder. Ih* Secures a Burly Burglar, Attn an Unequal Straggle of Los* I>urattem. A Dew I or* telegram says: Mr. William Armstrong is a leather dealer in " The Swamp,' and he resides at No. 105 Madison avenue. He and his family spent the heated term out of town. During their absfeaoe the custodian of their mansion has been a tried and true serv­ ant named Annie Laussen. Annie is a young girl, slender and apparently delicate. She never left the house unless necessity compelled her. On last Thursday evening, shortly after 7 o'clock, such an emergency arose. On her return she saw n man comiug up the basement stairs, his arms laden with Mr. Armstrong's plate. She sprang tbrougn the gate and grabbed the intruder by the throat. He was taken at a disadvantage, as the attack was unexpected, but he attempted to free himself with his left arm, the other still holding the stolen silverware. Her hold was secure. He dropped his plun­ der, and, by using both hands, broke her grip and vaulted over the railing. He and Annie reached the sidewalk simultaneously. He struck the girl in the face, and she threw both arms around his body. It was no lover's embrace. He tripped her, aad both fell heavily to the pavement. Then the contest began in dead earnest Kick and struggle as he might, there was no breaking her hold. Both were breathing heavily, and the girl's strength was fast waning, but she uttered not a cry. She was determined to capture the ras­ cal. By a desperate effort he regained his feet, dragging the girl up with him. Owing to her failing power, be freed himself from her grasp and attempted to run, but, still bent on captur­ ing him, she grabbed him by the coat and tore it from his back. In the strugglo they again fell, and rolled over and over from ttie rail­ ing to the eurb. Annie's clothes were rent to shreds, but she still held on. Finding herself on the verge of unconsciousness and her hold relaxing, she gave utterance to a series of screams. These were her only outcries during the unequal contest. It had the effect of bring­ ing to the scene Roundsman Haughcy, who arrested the burglar. Here again Annie displayed her wonderful courage. She went into tho house, washed her hands and face, combed her hair, slipped on another dress and walked to the station i.ouse to make a com­ plaint against the burglar, who said he was Joseph Williams, of Albany. When this was done she walked out coolly and composedly and returned home. She slept well during the night, and had no need of medical attendance. PARTY CONVENTIONS.

Toe trouble arose from popular opposition to the treati'-s recently entered into •ath the Uuited States and England A meeting pretadod over by Lord SLayor Daw­ son was held at the Mansion house, Dublin, for the purpose of starting a fund for tbe aid of evicted tenants. An inclosure of £20 was re­ ceived from Grev. Tne statement of the fact elicited cheers for Grey and cries of "Down with Lawson." THE Joyoe family, consisting of four persons, suspected of having given informa­ tion to the Government respecting the murder Dispatches irom Alexandria of Aug. 90 state that four English regiments made a reconnois- sance along the Mahmoudieh canal, drawing out shells from Arabi Pasha's force. British troops occupied Port Said and Ismalia and dis­ armed the native soldiers. Rear Admiral Hew­ itt stopped traffi ; on the Suez canal, at which De Lessens made a very strong protest At; Port Said the British troops threw up some earthworks between the European and Arab quarters, ani Admiral Seymour and Gen. Vv oli-eley were on hand with seventeen trans­ port* and five men-of-war. The Directors of the Suez Canal Company held a meeting in Paris, at which resolutions were passed re- afili-ming the neutrality of the highway, de­ nouncing the warlike measures of the British, and reserving tho right to claim compensation from England. The British Admiral Hewitt telegraphs from Suez that the men of the gunboats Sea Gull and Mosquito, aided by 200 Highlanders, carried the intrenchment8 at Shaluf at the point of tbe bayonet, killing 100 rebels and capturing forty- five. It was given out at Port Said that traffic on the Suez canal would be suspended only long enough to permit the British vessels to pass to Ismalia. Arabi Pasha was ereoting extensive earthworks in the vicinity of Aboukir. The French Government sent to De Lesseps in­ structions to be more prudent in his language. The Porte refuses to permit the exportation of males for the British forces in Egypt. A battalion of 600 Highlanders made a re- connoissance at Ramleh, and the guns at the water-works hill simultaneously opened fire, to which the Egyptians replied after the third round. The Seventy-second regiment engaged the Egyptians at Serapeum, killing 100 of them. The transports which went into the Suez canal debarked their troops at Ismalia. Gen. Wolseley had an interview with De Les- nep-. at Ismalia. After hearing the General's explanation, the Count expressed himself as fully satisfied with it, and aegretted that there had been any misunderstanding. Tbe Khe­ dive of Egypt has ordered the authorities to implicitly obey Gen. Wolseley. The French papers generally condemn England's occupa­ tion of the Suez canal, the Gambettist organ asserting that it has beep made a branch of St George's Channel. The Austrian gunboat Nautilus, seeing a white flag flying on the forte at Aboukir, on Aug. 23, sent ashore an officer and twelve men who were held as prisoners. The British polioe' arrested nineteen Greeks who were pillaging in the Arab quarter Of Ismailia, and shot ten of them. The Egyptians cut the fresh-water canal near Ismailia. Constantinople dispatches of Aug. 23 stated that the interviews of Lord Dufferin and the Sheik- ul-Islam had cleared away some of the obstacle* to the signing of the military convention, and it was believed it would soon be definitely con eluded. The English were in full pe^session of the canal from Suez to Port Said. Arabi was hourly throwing up new in'renchments aud otherwise fortifying his position. It was re­ ported from Madrid tha' Spain had determined to join with Uussia and Germany in protesting against the protection of the 8uez canal bei;>g confided to the British. Threatening letters from Syria, Arabia and Egypt, it was said, de­ terred the Sultan from signing the military convention with England. Reports of out­ rages on Christians in Asia Minor were current a Constantinople, many, it is alleged, having been assassinated al Beyrout Advices from Alexandria of Aug. 25, were to the effect that the British commanders were anxious to occupy Cairo, and would push toward that city rapidly. Areoentdispatch from London says: The steamer Hope, commanded by Sir Allen Young, C. B., which left here in June last in search of the crew of the steamer Eira, has arrived at Peterhead with the entire crew of that vessel. The Hope picked them up in Matolshkin Straits, Nova Zembla, the 3d of August, they having lost their ship off Franx Josef Land and jour­ neyed in boats to the straits through the ioe. Leigh Smith, commander of the Eira expe­ dition, gives the following account of its ex­ perience : " On July 13,1881, we steamed through pack- ice, and ten days later sighted Franz Josef Land. We proceeded toward Cape Ludlow, which was close to the pack to the northward. Aug. 2 we went up Nightingale Sound and thence to Eira Harbor, and erected a store­ house. On the 16th we started east to look for the Jeannette, but were unable to pass Berent Hook. On Aug. 21 the Eira got mpped between a land-floe and pack-ice a inile east of Cape Flora, and sank before we were able to save many of the stores. We built a hut on Cape Flora of turf and stones, and covered it with sails. We wintered there, and during the whole time no signs of scurvy appeared. Twonty-nine walrus and thirty-six boars were killed and eaten. We left Cape Flora June 21, 1882, in four boats, sailed eighty miles without seeing any considerable amount of ice, and reached Nova Zembla Aug. 2. When the Eira was nipped the leak gained so rapidly that in two hours after it had been discovered it was necessary to abandon the ship. H-uxdly had the last man left the vessel when the ice eased and the Eira rapidly sank. A tent was first erccted on the ice, and the house was subsequently built" Ail the boats of the Eird were saved. Most of the men saved some clothes and bedding. For sixteen nights the crew slept in a tent, from which they wore at times almost floated ont by raiu. mitrm over gold and silver com. Our position that the Government should retain for itself the option of paying its bonded debt whenever it had money to do so, instead of funding it into long-time bonds, Is rapidly becoming the posi­ tion of the intelligent masses of our people. These and similar evidences of progress which have been made through the force of public opinion, educated by our agitations, show that our labors have met with a good measure of success.

TEXAS REPUBLICANS. The Texas Republican State Convention met at Austin, and effected a permanent organiza­ tion by the election of J. G. Tracy, one of the 306, Chairman, without a dsssenting vote. A platform was adopted pledging the support of the party in Texas at tne approaching election to the candidates who come before the people for suffrage purely as Independents, free from party nominations or other forms of caucus dictation, and who agree to support a broad, liberal and generous policy, embracing free Bohool education ten months in the year, a free ballot and fair count, a revision of the j ury laws, BO that jurors shall be drawn impartially, the sale of school lands to actual settlers only and in paroels not exceeding 640 acres, and provis­ ions for working oonvicta within the walls.

Wentworth, writing in the Syracuse Christian Advocate, says : In 1851 or 1852 quite a revival occurred in Carlisle, Pa., in which the students of Dickinson College and the people of the town alike participated. Meetings were held nightly in the Methodist Church in the village, and the profeasape *>f the college took turns with the preacher in ckarge in supplying the pulpit evening after evening. _ One night it came the turn of Prof. Johnson to preach, and he gave one of the most closely-argued sermons on the Bubject of "Repentance" to which I ever listened. It was clear ss crystal, but cold as an iceberg, and fell upon unheeding ears. Students were sleepy and villagers restless. A stirring invit­ ation with the true revival ring was needed, not a Butlerian dissertation. Everybody knew what repentance was» and only needed warm urging to engage in the duty at once. Previous meetings had been stirring, but this evening eve­ rything seemed dead and cold ana life­ less. 1 then gave the meeting np for lost. All at onoe, ss the professor was on the last sixty minutes of Lis characteris­ tically acute but dry argument, a pierc­ ing shriek arose from the third pew of the middle tier to the right of the speak­ er. A good sister. Miss Gray, had si­ lently tilled up and at length flowed over in a ringing old-style Methodist shout of "Glory !" "Hallelujah !" " Bless the Lord!" which set everybody in the house on the qui vive in an instant and dumbfounded the speaker. He tried to •top her. "Not now, Sister," said he, "not to-night, if you please; by and by, when we get up yonder, we will shout, but to­ night it is our business to convince these sinners of their duty to repent." But the more he talked the louder she shouted. She made the house ring again, and kept it up. Preaching for that night was out of the question, and further pulpit talk was impossible. President Peck sat on one side of the communion table and I at the other, within the altar rail. I said to him : "Sing and invite mourners forward." He did so in a few burning words, and the altar was speedily crowded. Sister Gray's shout had saved the meeting ; but the special joke of the occasion was that the good sister was as deaf as an addfer. DELAWARE DEMOCRATS.

MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS. The Democratic State Convention of Michi­ gan assembled in Jackson on the 23d of Au­ gust, with full delegations^ from every district The following platform was unanimously adopted: The Democrats of Michigan, in convention assembled, recognizing the people as the souroe of political power, ana tbe constitution as the fundamental law of the land, do solemnly de­ clare : i. Thai home rule is tho esseace of free gov- t cr i^ient, that tiio lin9 bounding State and national authority is clearly defined, and needs only to be strictly followed to conserve tbe bro idert libertv to the people. i. Earnestly believing that a real civil-Bcrvioe reform is needed to purify every department of our Fed.-ral Government, we therefore de­ mand. as an initial but important step in this direction, an amendment to the Federal pon- stitution which will give to the people of the several cities, villages, and such other postal dihtii - s as ni iy be authorized by law, the right to elect Postmasters. We also demand that Federal Mitiordmate officers shall not be ap- pdP&MLor removed for political belief, nor ap- I p<M&Cli]til their abilitv and merit have been ! proven L v open public examination and com- j petition, and that political assessment or foroed | contributions from public officers should be made felony by law. I 8. We are unalterably opposed to the unjust, ' unequal and iiuquftous system of taxation | called a protective tariff, which oppresses the I farmer and laborer, destroys our merchant | marine, breeds aud enriches monopolies, and | impoverishes the poor. The traditional policy ! ana principles of the Democratic party are on ' the side of complete commercial freedom, and j we demand an immediate and aggrestuve reve- i nue reform in the direction of fr» e trade, sub- I ject to a tariff only sufficient to raise the rieces- | »nry revenue for governmental expenditures economically administered. 4. That the right of Congress to make ap­ propriations for the improvement of rivers and harbors should be restricted to such as are of TTM"""1 importance; that the people of Michi­ gan oannot be bribed with a share of the theft KANSAS OREKNBACKKBS. The Greenback State Convention convened at Topeka and organized by the election of P. H. Elder President, and W. J. A. Montgomery Secretary. A series of resolutions reaffirming the National platform at Chicago of 1880 was adopted, adding thereto the platform in the same or similar shape as adopted by the Na­ tional Executive Committee at St Louis last spring. This declaration as it stands em­ braces, beside the above platforms, the fat- lowing : Resolved, That we pledge the vote of the Na­ tional Greenback-Labor party to the enforce­ ment of all laws upon the statute books of Kansas. Resolved, That we favor the reduotion of the rate of interest in the State BO that the maxi­ mum rate for the use of money will not exoeed the average profits of labor. Ex-Gov. Chase Robinson, the first Governor of Kansas, was nominated for Governor, and the remainder of the ticket was made up as follows: lieutenant Governor, J. G. Boyne; Secretary Of State, A. P. Elder; Auditor, W. F. Garrison; Treasurer, J. H. Ludlow; Attorney General, J. D. McMriau; Superintendent of Public Instruc­ tion, J. S. Whiteman; Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, L. C. Uhl. The following were nominated for Congressmen-at-Large: H. L. Phillips, JohnDavis, Allen Williams (colored), The Lumber Interests of the Coantry, Prof. Sargent's Forestry Bulletin, is­ sued by the census office, makes m brief a comparative showing of the immense lumber interest of the country for the census year, as derived from the returns of the census enumerators and from the reports of the speeial agents for manu­ facturers. It is well known that the lumber business is one of large magni­ tude, but it is doubtful it its real import­ ance has before been properly estimat­ ed. The number of establishments in the country engaged in lumber manu­ facture is 25,708, employing a capital of $181,186,122. The value of the logs nsed amounted to $139,836,869; value of mill supplies, $6,318,510; wages paid during the year, $31,815,974. The fol­ lowing exhibits the various products : Fv?et of lumber (boardmeasure), 18,,091,- 356,000; number of laths,l,7t51,78S.iKX); number of shingles, 5,55 ">,046,000; num­ ber of#taves, 1.248,226,000; number of sets of head ngs, 14ti,f>23,U0J;feetof spool and bobbin stock (board measure), 34,- 076,(KM); value of ail other products, $2,682,6B8; total value of all products, 8233,167,729. In the number of feet of lumber produced, as well as in most other particulars, Michigan li&ids the list, followed by Pennsylvania, Wiscon­ sin nnd New York. Of the New Ea- gland States Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire may be regarded as the lum­ ber-producing States, in the order nampd. It is fast becoming a serious question where the future lumber sup­ ply is to be procured, since at the pres­ ent rate of manufacture our forests will be practically exhausted in ten years. Already great scarcity in some kinds of timber, the supply of which was a few years ago regarded as inexhaustible, prevails. What Becomes of Old Pianos f That well-known and most adventur­ ous Frenchman, ycleped De Tonnant, who, calling himself Orelie jthe First, was for some time King of Araucara, wished to gain at one time the support cf a most influential old Patagontan chief. He accordingly bestowed on i he savage a worn-out grand piano, which he had bought for 80 francs. A few days after making this generous present, De Tonnant went one morning to pay an early visit to the Patagonian. He found him sleeping peacefully with his wile inside the piano, from which he had carefully removed sounding-board, strings, etc., and which, thus trans­ formed, constituted a not uncomfortable bedstead. This may account for the final resting-place of old " grands," but what is the end of worn-oat oottage pianos? THINKKHS are as scarce as gold; bnt he whose thought embraces all his su»»- ject, who pursues it uninterruptedly aud fearless of oonseqaenoes, is a diamond of enormous size.--Lavater. The Boston *' Haleslady." It is the custom to depict the proprie­ tor of our large stores as a burly, over­ bearing brute with little judgment and no sympathy. Bnt in. one instance, at least, we found an exception. Not far from Temple Place, Boston, is a large fancy-goods store, owned and presided over by a very timid man ; a man of ex­ cuses and but little fixity of purpose. During the busy season this man is the slave of these poor, weak creatures whom he is popularly supposed to grind under the heels of his imported shoes. To illustrate our meaning. The busy season bad arrived and the rush for novelties began. The usual force in the store was not sufficient for the demand and ex tra help had to be secured. The gentleman of whom we speak one morn­ ing engaged a fine-looking young lady, tall, neat in dress, and as she stated of experience. " You will come at 8 o'clock please, and remain until 6." "Very well," was the sweet leply. All went well until the first week's salary had been paid and the second week began. Our new saleslady came at 11 in the morning and retired at 4 in the after­ noon. Our timid proprietor day after day attempted to nerve himself up to the awful task of fault-finding in the bnsy season when good salesladies are so difficult to obtain, and day after day his nerve deserted him, and still she oame at 11 aud retired at 4. One day our heroine entered the store dressed a la Martha Washington but destitute of the illusionary lace so greatly admired in public. Our proprietor at last ap­ proached the young lady, and suggested that her "dresseh--was--er." "What's the matter with my dress ? If you don't like it you know what you can do." He did know. He couldn't replace her; and still she came at 11 and retired at 4. He suggested that 11 o'clock was a little late. "Oh, dear, no. There is no trade before 11." "But you leave at 4." " Any customer I should care to wait on would not come- later." And still she came at 11 and retired at 4. As business grew dull he suggested the fact only to be informed that his business never was better. He hinted they would have to separate, and she coolly asked him where he was going. He intimated that she was a trifle too tall, and learned that a long reach was better than a step ladder. And still she came at 11 and retired at 4, much to the amusement of the other feminine martyrs in the store. Fortune at last favored him in the person of a young man matrimonially inclined, and that proprietor is willing to risk his reputation that the lady rises at 11 and retires at 4. This is not an exaggerated ease nor an isolated one by any means, and it is not alone the timid shop-keeper who is ruled by those whom he is supposed to govern and abuse.--Boston Star. The Bursting of the Monsoon. The expression, " The monsoon has burst," has a meaning in it which <mly those who have lived in India can f^lly understand. On the regular "bursting " of the monsoon, the very existence of the people of India may be said to depend. But for the monsoon, the whole country would perish under ii» glaring sun; and, during the early days of June, Anglo- Indians look anxiously for the brief announcement of its coming. The south­ west monsoon sets in generally toward the end of April, the steady wind sweep­ ing up from the Indian ocean, and carrying with it dense volumes of vapor, which slowly oollect in dark masses of clouds as they approach the continent. From Adam's peak, in the Isle of Spices, right along the eastern and western Ghauts and the Nilgiris, every hilltop is gradually shrouded in mist, instead of^ standing out clear and sharp against the sfcy. Darker and denser become the cloud masses; the horizon assumes a heavy, leaden appearance, sometimes kindling into a lurid glare, answering to the sense of oppression, both mental and physical, which accompanies it. The at­ mosphere "becomes "close" and oppres­ sive alike to man and beast; but the heat is borne with patience, for relief is at hand. Flashes of lightning play from .cloud to cloud, and a heavy thunder reverberates through the heavens. The wind sudden­ ly springs up into a tempest, and along the shore the white waves are tossed in foam against the rocks or over the burn­ ing sand. Then a few great heavy drops of rain fall, like balls of lead from the apparently leaden sky; the forked light­ ning is changed to sheets of light, and suddenly the flood-gates of heaven are opened, and not rain, but sheets of water are poured forth, refreshing the parched earth, carrying fertility over the surface of the country, filling the wells and natural reservoirs with a fresh store, and replenishing the dwindling rivers and streams. The whole earth seems sud­ denly recalled to life. Vegetation may almost be seen to grow, and from the baked mud of the river banks emerge countless fishes, which for weeks or months beforo have lain there in torpor. The phenomena of the bursting of the monsoon are repeated from hill-top to hill-top, till the whole country, from Cape Comorin to Bombay and the great plains beyond, is similarly visited. Then follows a period of comparative repose, during which the welcome rains continue to fall, with but short intervals, lor three or four months, invigorating and re­ freshing all things.--St. James Gazette. Menial Indolence. There are two sorts of understandings, one of which hinders a man from ever being considerable, and the other com­ monly nuikes him ridiculous--I mean the lazy mind, and the trifling, frivolous mind. The lazy mind will not take the trouble of going to the bottom of any­ thing; but, discouraged by the first dif­ ficulties (and everything worth knowing or having is attended with some), stops short, contents itself with easy, and con­ sequently superficial, • knowledge, and prefers a great degree of ignorance to a small degree of trouble. These people either think or represent most things as impossible,whereas few things are so, by way of excuse for their laziness. An hour's attention to the same object is too laborious for them; they take everything in the light in which it first presents it­ self, never consider it in all its different views, ani, in short, never think it through. The consequence is that when they come to speak upon these subjects before people who liave considered them with attention, they only discover their own ignorance and laziness, end lay themselves open to answers that put them in -- Vvh •nn*. soap ends, the spots be carefully rubbed with a bit of cloth wet with ammonia.

If the Saxon boys do not cut up the pranks and perform the tricks of their American oouains, they enjoy themselves in a way that is entirely satisfactory to themselves. They have, during the summer, in all the large towns and cit­ ies, large swimming baths, constructed like those in Chicago, where they flock in large numbers in the evenings and on Sundays. They can have all the fun of this kind they want, including clean towels and neat dressing-rooms, for about 5 American cents. Then gymna­ siums and museums are well patronized* It is a rare thing to find a Saxon young* ster who cannot perform on the horizon­ tal bar, on the rings or on the flying trapeze feats that would be creditable to a professional athlete. Tbe boys are generally well developed, muscular and agile, and good health seems to take a fancy to them. In disposition they are amiable aa girls--more amiable than some girls. They are polite and accommodating. They do not swear, "chaw" nor smoke. Fist fighting is not to their liking, and vulgarity is unknown among them. They are sedate, quiet, peaceable and good natured at ail times, while in the pres­ ence of their elders they observe with astonishing precision and wonderful judgment the laws and regulations laid down for their guidance at home and in the schools. The work which the small boy is called upon to do in America is done here generally by girls or full-grown men. There are no telegraph boys. All dispatches are delivered by men in uni- form. There are no cash boys, girls generally filling such positions. Boya are not called upon to run errands for the public. Ab|e-b6died men in uni­ form, large enough to be trusted with valuable packages, stand at every cor­ ner, and are ready to come at your beck or call. The newspapers are carried and s6ld by men. There are no newsboys. . No idle boys are seen on the streets. When they are not at Bchool they are learning a trade, and after business hours they generally betake themselves to some place where they can exercise themselves, or they study their lessons so as to be prepared for the early morn- ingclass. There are no street Arabs in any of the German cities--no ragged urchins, no Artful Dodgers and no " wipe nip­ pers." There are no sooty-faced, blas­ phemous bootblacks. In a word, the American small boy, of high or low de­ gree, would find his occupation gone, whatever it might be, if he emigrated to Germany. He would pine away and die of a broken heart.--Chemmitz Cor. Chi­ cago Daily News. It Wasn't Fly-screens. She knew he was the fly-sereen mill ̂ by the samples under his arm, but she held the door open and permitted him to say: , " Madam, I notice that you haven't a : fly-screen at any door or window." - " Not one," she answered. % "You must be overrun with flies f* w We are."

" Yes, sir." <(And I can make thepa cheaper to yon than any other man in the'busi­ ness." " I think you can." "Do yon prefer plain green or fig­ ured? " "Well, I always did like pale green." " Very well; I will measure the win­ dows and take your order." "You needn't trouble yourself any farther," she quietly replied. " What, don't you want screens ? " " No, sir. The other day the woman across the street had ten minutes' con­ versation with a tin peddler, and she's had her nose in the air over me ever since. A fly-screen man is about three times as high as a potato man, and I've been fa-lking with you to let her see that she isn't the only lady in town who can put on airs. She's mad as a hen by this time, and now you get up and dust or I'll have my dog run you clear to the river." - THEMVRKETS. .$ #» ,.. 7 80 .. 13 .. 3 50 .. 1 20 .. 1 18 .. 83 .. 48 ..91 60 ®H00 (H 8 80 « 18* & * 60 « 1 25 ® " , <* 8» H* @22 50 12Js<£ 12* NEW YORK.
