which to_sell more stocks. Missouri Pacific seemed to be sustained at about 85. As it is 87 per cent stock, and drawing near to its quarterly dividend, it is not selling at a price that would warrant its being selected for punishment. There is metal more attrative in the ‘“‘three figure’ properties. The stub- bornness of St. Paul causes considerable eomment. This may be explained by the fact that our cousins across the water are hanging on to considerable of it in expectation of a2} per.cent dividend this month. This d: vidend to them is very attractive, particularly ‘when they can buy the stock in the seventies. New England, Norfolk & Western, Cotton Beed and several other light-weights did not change much. The activity and interest centered more in the dividend payers and coalers. In late dealings the market was un- settled. Some stock had recovered part of the morning’s decline. The feeling was not at all buoyant. Total tales 349,000 shares. GoverNmMENTS — Government bonds were dull and steady. YESTERDAY'S QUOTATIONS, V. RBdsregistered. 124% 0. & N.

Chicago papers are wailing over a decrease in the amount of hogs packed, as the foilow- ing from the Tribune will show. Omaha comes up smiling however, with an_increase of 117,000, ~ As Chicago's decrease is 164,159, it may bo inferred that Omaha has gotten the greater portion of their deficit. The west is getting there, not very slowly either, and next year Chicago's decrease will be still greater. ‘The following is the Tribune's story: *‘The winter packing season shows a decrease over previous years. During the winter season of 1887-'88 Chicago houses killed nearly $1,600,000 hogs, against 1,734,- 822 the scason of 1886’87, The actual hum- ber packed was 1,440,410, or 245,360 less than the previous season. During the months of November, December, January, snd Feb- ruary, 183788, Chicago. recelved 100,000 dressed hogs from western points which were counted in Chicago's stocks, and that fact makes the Chicago packing’ greater than it appears, a8 the hogs mentioned are not included in the live receipts of the Chicago market. Receipts for the four months creased 200,041, and the shipments of live hogs decreased 164,513, while the shipments of dressed hogs increased 71,000. The re- ceipts of hogs for the summer seasQy o! ;»:7 23, making a decrease '\ 004 for the sumnwer and winter season. Ship- %ucnls for both scasons decreased 674,207 head Omaha comes to the front and still man- tains her position as third in the rank of the ‘mrkmg cities, a8 will be seen by the follow- ng table, While Chicago and St. Louis show a decrease Omaha shows an increase.

Much of Sheridan’s reputation, says the New York World, as a profanity expert may be atiributed to Buchanan Read’s poem describing Sheridan’s famous ride from Winches- ter to Cedar Creek. Sheridan, accord- ing to RRead, rode down the lines with a territic onth) which was so soul inspiring us to bring the demoralized soldiers back to their senses and instil them with new courage. She in was accompanied on that ride to Cedar Creck by two staff officers, Brigadier General G and Colonel O'Kee Sheridan said, accord Forsythe, when he went up and met his soldiers !Icom;; from the enemy: *‘Boys, those of you who are not cowards follow me, for I'll sleep in that camp to-night or I'll sleep in helll” The effect of these words, General Forsythe says, was magical. The turned with a cheer and followed Sheridan to a man. A few years ago General Sheridan, in conversation about the origin of Mr. Read’s poem and how it came to be written, said that the idea was first ed by James E. Murdock, the elocutionist and actor, of Cincinnati. Mr. Murdock was around Sheridan’s headquarters after the battle of Mi sionary Ridge. He was there to bring back the body of his son, who had been kiiled in action. There was some delay in getting the body, as the enemy occ pied the ground where his son fell. M tead was nlso ut Sheridan’s headqua ters frequently. The general sai +*On Sundays he (Murdock) always used to recite poems around headquarters, and there was one of Browning’s that the boys never missed a chance to call It was a great favorite with me, don’t know, just as it was with the sol- diers, and we ne let the old man off without his reading it. It was the story of the ride from Ghent to Aix. Well,” you see, after the battle of Cedar creek, there was published in Harper's Weekly a story of my ride from Winchester, and a picture ‘of me on the back of old Rienzi. Murdock had agreed to recite & poem at the san- itary Tair that was being held at Ci cinnati at that time, and Read had promised to write something appropriate or him. But when Murdock called on him for the manuscript, the arternoon he was to recite, he hadn’t touched a pen to paper—said he didn’t know what te about. Well, Murdock had a man who was in the battle, and was full of the story, being a friend of mine, you see; so he pulled the copy of Harper’s Weekly from his pocket and repeated to Read all that the officer had told him. Read jumped up and locked himself in his room, wrote the poem off- hand in an hour, and got his wife to ¢ a copy and hand it over to Mur- dock before dark. The latter was de- lighted with it, and read it at the sani- ary fair that night.” “When did you first see it?” “‘The first I saw of it was in the news- One of my officers brought it to t one morningin the camp down in the Shenandoah valley.” —_— BART'S BOODLE. A Noted Stage Robber Supposed to Have Dug Up His Buried Plunder, St. Louis Globe-Democrat: A special from Heraldsburg, Cal., gives a curious story of the unearthing of buried treas- ure near that place. A few evenings ago two men in a wagon camped on the McPherson ranch, four miles from Her- aldsburg. Theytold Mr, Morrison, who lives on the ranch, they were too poor togo to ahotel. Next morning Mr. Johnson, who resides on the river banlk, a short distance east, in crossing the point to the Morrison place, found where the ground had recently been ex- cavated. A search proved that the rious men seen by Morrison the evening before had done the digging. An examination of the ground by a re- vorter showed that anoak 45 feet east of the hole had been blasted years ago. Alsoaledge of rock lay the same distance to the west, and a ridge of rock along which the excavated hole was lo- vuws led down in a direct line toward the Geyser Peak. Several small places showed where the shovel had been used to strike the plant which the men had evidently been seeking., The earth having been turned up an old, rusty, broken shovel, minus the handle, lay on the small plle of dirt. This had been buried with the treasure to asstst the finder. The bottom of the hole, which was about two feet deep and the same in di- ameter, showed that some object had been removed. Most of the residents believe Black Bart, the famous stage robber recently released from San Quin- tin after serving seven years, was one of the men who dug up the honrd, an? that the treasure wasthe proceeds several stage robberies which Bart com- mitted here. He is known to have se- cured several thousand dollars at the time, and, although closely pursued, he munflged to escape_capture., The other theory is that the digging was done by half-breed Indians, who mnrdered a man on this spot thirty-five years ago. He had $2,000 on his person, and, though his body was found, no trace was ever ed of the coin, Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria, When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.
