Foreign exchange was quiet, with alight sup- ply of bills. ‘The First National Bank paid out $1,500,000in. zold and €150,000in currency to meet its debit valance at the Clearing-House. The clearings reached the enormous sum of $14,846,000, or 2,500,000 more than the clearings of Friday, till ‘then the largest ever made in the city. The gold which the First National disbursed was in “wenty kegs, each containing $75,000, and weigh- ing 300 Bs. To save the trouble of counting and handling and the immense labor of carrying it up the flight of stairs to the Clearing-House room, the gold was delivered directly to the creditor ‘banks, which gavé ‘the First National orders on the Clearing-House for their bal- finces. Itgives an {dea of the expense of hand- ling coin, that five men were required to trans- port and guard this gold through the streets. As coin is evidently coming extensively into circulation, the officers of the Clear- ing-House have matured’a plan to avoid such expense and trouble in- future. Banks having gold will deposit it in a safety- deposit vault underneath the Clearing-House. Certificates will be given furit which can be ‘used either to pay Clearing-House balances or “to draw the gold out again. The vault will be ‘under the joint charge of the President of the ‘Clearkng-House and the Chairman of its Execu- tive Committee. Some such plan is indispensable _if coin is to be used in the settlement of Clear- ing-House balances. . Receipts of currency are largely in excess of the shipments. The country is ordering large amounts of New York exchange sent East. ‘The price yesterday was 25@50e per $1,000 pre- mlum.

Exccutive Com- mittee of - the associated. railroads is continually augmenting itself and cx- tending the sphere of operations of the Board of Commissioners of Arbitration. The new year opens upon 8 brilliant prospect for the railroads of the country. The traflic is large, rates good, and the companies maintain harmonious relations. It follows that good rail- way stocks judiciously bought should prove a good venture. Stocks of the class of the North- western and St.Paul and other such railroads, with large earnings and ruling low in the mar- ket, are likely to rule higher during the year upon which we have entered. Several stocks were materially advanced during the week on rumors, some apparently well-founded, others hopelesiy ridiculous. In the latter category may be classed the assigned reason for the advance in Canada Southern from 66 to 71. Itwas given out that there was a project to lease it to the Michigan Central. There'is no foundation whatever for such rumor, and itis simply started to sell the stock. ‘Another rumor, apparently resting on a better foundation,is‘that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy isabout to make aconsolidation with the Burlington & Missouri. According to this rumor, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Com- pany will issuo to its stockholders a certain amount of stock of the Company full paid. This has had the effect of advancing the price of the stock from about 115 to 140, at which price it is sold to-day. To the Western Associated Press.

Porl: declined 15¢, lard 5c,wheat 1Xc,corn 3c, and onts 3c, while barley was nearly inactive. The Jater feeling wasa steadier one, but opening quotations were not regained. The animus of the day seemed to be a disappointment that the new year did not open stronger in England. ‘The private cables did noté a firmer tone Satu day, but.there werefew orders here from out- side, and tle market was somewhat oppressed by the fact that deliveries hnd been very free the previous day on January contracts. It was estimated that fully 90 per cent of the wheat here was delivered, and about all the pork and lnrd; while Saturday's receipts of grain were unusually heavy. Mess pork closed 5c lower, at about $13,374 for new, seller December, and $13.52%@13.55 for February. Lard closed steady at $7.57% for new, seller December, and $7.67}@7.70 seller February.

Trade continues very quict, as is to be expected. Boots and shoes were quoted dull at unchanged rates. Groceries met with a light inquiry and were generally steady. Sugars were strong and advancing, In the dried-fruit mar- ket there was only, a restricted movement, but the tone of the market remained firm both for domestic and imported varieties. Fish were firm, whitefish and cod at an advance. No price- changes were noted in the butter and cheese markets. Oils were steady as previously quoted. There was a firm market for leather, tébacco, and'pig-iron. S e Lumber was steady, with moderate sales. Iron, nails, and hardware generally were firm in con- sequence of the late advance in fron. A rather quiet wool market was reported, but dealers ex- ‘pect it at the opening of the year. The stock is small and firmly held. The hide market was easy under fair receipts, with buyers in- clined to move slowly, in consequence of the weakness East. Hay was steady, ‘Timothy seed advanced undera fair inquiry to fill orders, and other seeds were quict, exhibit- ing no material change in prices. Poultry was dull and, weak, under rather large offerings for # Saturday, and the soft, rainy weather made it unsafo to carry much of the stock over. - The news comes from Germa1 to the effect that the hog crop of that country isa large one, which will probably diminish their purchases in the United States, especially as the German” tariff will help to repress importations. A firm here which sold largely short to parties in Europe, at much lower prices than are now cur- rent, is reported to have procured a release ‘from their contracts. ¥ PROVISIONS. » HOG PRODUCT'S—Were rather quiet and unsettled’ at a lower range of prices, The, trading was chictly Jocal and the weather was unfavoruble for handling, for which reason green meats ruled very dull. “There was little change in the tone of advices from other points, except that New York was dull and easier.

Palmyra and Thebes are justly celebrated as very ancient ruins, but Pithole, Pa.,, is probably the grandest youn; ruin in the world. Here was a great city whic! was founded, grew. to opulence, fell, and whose streets are now onion and: cabbage pntches—all within fifteen years. Why, it took those slow- coach Egyptinns 2,000 years to make such aruin as this! Such is American enterprise. .. “ When did youcnme here?” I asked Mr. John- son, who acted in the capacity of both founder and guide to the ruins. ou know,” he said. “TI “I'm a carpenter, came here in 1865 to help put down the first well for the United States Petroleum Company on the Holmden farm. The country around here was almost uninhabited. The ground was stony, and the flelds were full of pine stumps.” “ Did you strike ofl?" “I should say we did. We struck a ‘ flow-cr.’ She threw 1,000 barrels of oll into the alr a day. AS 500n as she ‘flowed’ the speculators went off in the night, and bought the furm of Tom Holm- den ut a low figure. Lord! when he came to sce be wat the next morning, didn’t he feel bad, ough? “ What was the efféct of the thousand-barrel . well?" Lasked. “ Why, it seemed to set the whole neighbor- hood crazy. The whole oil region turned out ‘and came up here. Soldiers, with pockets full of money, just discharged from the army, came pouring in with the rest. In fact, Tom Holm~- den’s farm, in less than forty-eight | hours, lookedas if it had ten circuses on it, You never sawsuch scrambling. And prices! Why, you never heard of such prices. Twenty well Swere under way ina week. Machinery had to be drawn through the mud from the station, on the Miller farm, four miles distant. Thousands of barrels of oil, worth $5 a barrel, had to be drawn through the mud. Farmers rushed in with teams for fifty miles around, Contractors paid $100 for drawing an engine four miles through the mud. Fifteen dollars a ton for dra -coal. Ten dollars for carrying a trunk. Farm- ers got 310 for carrying one passenger. Twoand three dollars were puid for meals, and $5 for a bed. Dollars were us common as nickels ‘are now. Why, I could make $25 day carpenter- ing. I- got $650 for building o one-story buliding® and I did the work with four men in a day and a half. I got $45 for putting up some shelves for a druggist, and did the work in thirty minutes. Nails were 50 cents per found, and lumber $300 per 1,000. Farmers tore down their fences for miles around, and sold them to the crazy oil operators. “Great guns!-how the merchants poured in! and what pyces they got; 85 for a Po of boots, and $l for adrink of whisky. Fortunes were made and lost in a day. Hundreds of wells went down, and were sold at fabulous prices, after- wards ending in dry holes.” “ How were the wells usually sold?” I asked. “They were divided into ‘sixteenths.’ Thou- sands of soldiers, farmers, and busiuess-men were inveigicd into buying these ‘sixtcenths.’ Some made fortunes and more lost all. Specu- lntors paid $500 for the refusal of a ‘sixteenth’ next to 1 producing well, telegraphed to New York or Philadelphia, and mude several theu- sand dollars in » few hours. A sixteenth of 4 well often sold for $20,000 cash. Millions of dol- Jurs came floating into Pithole. Hotels went up like magic. Theatres sprang into being. Murphy built « shanty, got a dance woman by tho nume of Mme. Brignoll, and oil men would throw fifty- dollar bills at her feet. Streets sprang into line. Within sixty duys thirty pretty barmaids were holding forth at a free-and-easy, No. 7 First street, all in a rude board room thirty by sixty.” “When did Pithole culminate?” “ Well, she started in June, 1865, and in June, 1886, she was a full-fiedged city, with 15,000 peo- ple, with criminals, policemen, clergymen, churches, schools, and the third largest Post- Office in the State of Penusylvania, Why, Post- master Hill had seven clerks, and to get a letter ou had to stand in 2 Post-Office row for half un hour. ‘We bad a Mayor, a City Council, and daily mewspapers.”” “Did you have any good buildings?” I asked. “Certainly. The Iuncan House, on First strect, cost So,000: ‘The Chase House cost over $60,000. Handsome business blocks went up, gas was put in, the streets were sewered, and, I fell you, we were a great city. People paid $2.50 for i seat at a variety show, and the town was filled with dance-women and minstrels.” “When did the decay come?” * Oh, in 1867 we begun to pecem Afterward utter ruin came upon us, 1 oil-wells stopped flowing, and we were ruined. They took down the Duncan House and moved it over to Oil City, and the Chase House, which cost $60,000, was sold for 360, Many men burnt up their houses in 1867 to get the insurance, until no ce company would take a risk in Pithole. In fact, everybody left Pithole as rats leave a si ship. The people who rap away from Pithole built up Shambury, Titusville, Oil City, and Tid~ ioute.’ as I once walked The I walked around Pithole, Pompeii. The city is literally deserted. houses are all tottering or fallen. Window panes are goue. No painter or glazier has been seen here for ten years. Fourth street, once a thriving business strect, has entirely sian et |. King’s hardware store bas gone, the Rieeord office bas disappeared, the sidewalks have yotted away, and barren desola’ ition meets me on. every side. Ou the hill, where the Atheneum used to be filled with a shouting audience who athered to throw money at the feet of Maud Stanley and ascore of Black-Crook dancers, I could See piles of potato-vines where the farmer had dug his crop. Where Murphy’s theatre once stood, and where the manager often took in us high as $2,000 during an evening, are bunches of ‘burdocks and two old sandstones which denote the corners. * : . “How many families are here now?” I asked Mr. Johnson, as I looked around at the ruins. “Three—only three; and still we represent all the political parties in the-fleld. I’m a Demo- crat, Ferguson is a Greenbacker, and Hunter is a Republican. Don’t often huppen, does it, that afounder of a city can take you around and show you the very ruins: that he built himself? T tell you—why, damn it, of course nobody doubts but the Coliseum and Pantheon are grand old ruins, but when you talk abont young ruins, yeplendid young ruins,—Pithole can buck up any on ’em!" Ext PERKINS, THE CIVILIZED CETYWAYO. London Times. * Nothing bas yet transpired. ag to the final ar- rangements to be made with regard to the ex- Zulu King Cetywayo. He is still an involuntary occupant of Cape Town Castle. The other day he thought himself too old to learn, and declined an offer to be taught; but he has since altered his mind, and taken some writing lessons, and now manages with pencil and slate to make tol- erable copy lines of the words “Queen Victoria.” Recent portraits of him show a marked change in his external appearance, When his like- ness vas first taken, after his arrival by the transport Natal, he was presented in al the nakedness of primitive Zulu costume; but in the Iatest photographs he appears meta- morphosed into a very plensant-lookiog colored gentiemun, dressed after European fashion ina tweed suit, with white handkerchief protruding from his breast pocket, and gloves and cane in hand.’ The transition from barbarism to civiliza- tion isso sudden and decided as almost to,sug- gest doubt whether this can be the person who Peapeprated tho ucts of savagery ascribed to the ate Monarch of Zululand. The ex-King him- self, However, soon satisfied the curfous upon this point. He makes little or no reservation as to tho sacrifice of human life, which was part of the system of his Government, and which he justifies on the plea that there was no‘other way of. Sufprelne his authority among his people. Most of the reported fucts as to the massacre of the Zulu girls who would not conform to the national muarriage-laws are confirmed by bim. At the feast of the first fruits, it appears, he had given his sanction to one or two of his regi- ments to put on head-rings, indicating that they had attained to sniependent, manhood, and at the same time issued # command that the young women at the various kraals were to mal soldiers. The women showed no inclination to comply with this command, and, when called to account, ve ms a reason that the regiments permitted to marry were not good enough for. n e dignity of **hend-rings,” and again declared that the girls of macriageable age ern to marry atonce. Still they refused to comply, and _vurious devices were again resorted to to evade the order, some young women even wash- ing off the red dust on their hair which marked them as marringenble. The King's anger was then aroused, and in a fury he directed the Umeityu Regiment, 8,000 strong, to march to .the several kraals . throughout the country, and kill every person | who had disobeyed him. Numbers of girls and others connected with thom were slaughtered. The bodies of some were placed at the cross- ronds as an example of the King’s displeasure, and whien the pnrents of the individuls 50 killed went to bury the bodies, they brought Cetywayo's wrath upon themselves, and they and tho, whole of their families In some instanves were de- stroyed, Several women, however, saved them- selves by seeking shelter and’ hiding with friends;- and those who survived lost no time in coraplying ‘with the King’s orders and marrying into the regiments appointed to them. Mr. Longeust, the interpreter now with Cetyway. was in Zululand ut the time, and was himself int strumental in saving the lives of five young per- sons, whom he hid away. > . This was not the only occasion, however, when the King sanctioned “such slaughter of his pea- ple. Shortly before, some of his soldiers who were summoned to assemble at Nodwengo made the excuse that sickness prevented them from attending. He remarked thnt he would save the doctors the trouble of looking ‘after the sick, and “impis” of his favorit regiment, the ume- cityu, were promptly sent in every direction to kill the offenders against bis Royal command. Tn some instances the delinquents escaped from the fury of these impis; and, by the lawand cus- tom of the country, such as thus escaped were exempted from being again unished in any way. But for that law, ‘says Cetywayo, thore. would have been much more killing itf Zululand. epee USEFUL RULES. Burdette, Don’t you love to read the maxims which some wise man writes for the newspapers,—useful rules which are intended to save human life and alleviate human suffering? There is alwaysso much practical common sense in them. Here is a batch, for them: “For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing, and dash water in them.” ‘This is especially useful when you are on the cars, and there isn’t a drop of water in the coun- try nearer than the engine, or the next lake, forty-three miles behind you. ‘Remove cinders with the point of a pencil.” We never saw that: operntion tried but once, and then it was successful. The man got out the cinder. He also put out his eye. “ Remove insects from the ear by tepid water; never put a hard instrument into the ear.” Yes, that is pretty advice now,. isn’t it? Sup- pose nn Indian Peace Commissioner gets an in- sect in his enr when he is out in Colorado! Is that man to suffer until he can reach the Mis- sissippl-‘Riverin order to get enough water to fill his ear? “For light burns, dip the part in cold water; if the skin is destroyed cover with varnish.” 'A beautiful spectacle -a_man would present whohad gone up in a boiler-exeursion in o stermboat-race, and had come down scalded just enough to make two coats of furniture- varnish a necessity according to this admirable rule. * Before passing through smoke, take a fall breath and stoop low.” Just imagine, now, what a circus a smoking- ear would present if every man who entered it kept that rule pasted in his hat. “ Smother a fire with carpets; water will often. spread burning oil and increase the danger.” That's all well enoug’.; but, when a man’s house is on fire and burning faster then three steam-engines can throw water, he hasn't the time, and frequently he basn’t the moncy, to uy a whole carpet-store to throw over the con- flagration. And we don’t suppose anything less than a tapestry-Brussels would do 2ny good. “ For fainting, lay the body flat.” : Now, that is a good rule; there is some sensein that. Because, if you are careful to lay your body flat before you faint, it may save you a ter- rific thump when you fall. Let me addto this rule the advice. never faint on a ladder, or ina halloon, or on the top of achurch-steeple, or in front of arunaway team. It isn't safe. ‘ “Suck poisonous wounds, unless your mouth isgore; enlarge the wound, or, better, cut the wound out without delay.” + If that isn’t a lively plece of ndvice for a sane man to give to healthy people! Listen here— don’t you do anything of the kind. And, if you get a scratch on the throat, don’t enlarge it or eutit out. And, if you get a wound on the back of your neck, don’t you try to reach it with your mouth. Somebody try, that some day, and there’ll be a broken neck in the family. “Te in the water, flout on the back, with the mouth and nose projecting.” in’ Now, this is the best rule of the lot. That is .the cap-sheaf. You cut that out and paste it on your cuff, where you can always see it. Just follow that rule and you will never drown. No matter if you stay in the water twenty years, if you will just float on your back, with the nose and mouth projecting above the water, you won't drown. Wo don't know what wise man wrote these rules, but: this last one is worth all ‘the rest.

A little bit of girl wanted more and more but- tered toast, till she was told that too much would make her sick. Looking wistfully at the dish for a moment, she thought she saw a way out of her difficulty, and exclaimed: “ Well, give me annuzer piece and send for the doctor.” “Honesty the best policy.” Country practi- tioner (surprised at tho visit of 2 notorious quack and pill-vender)—* Well, what brings you Heres" Quack (evidently suffering from dis- tugbed peristaltic action}—“ Well, sir, the fact js41 feel rather queer, and—” County practi- tioner—"'Then why don't you take one of your ‘Pearls of Health’?” Quack—" That's just it, sir!
