BANK RESERVES ARE SMALL, An Artificial Stringency Mayv at Any Time Be Expertenced — Legitimate Trade More Encouraging. The Ontlook Improved. New Yok, Oct. 25.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee. |—R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly ro- view of trade says: The money market has become more easy, with the prospects that a serious disturbance this season is no longer 15 be apprehended. The banks are running with narrow re- serves, and an drtifioial stringency may at any time'be engineered, but the movement of crops has been hoavy. In the natural course of events the return of money to this ceénter should soon begin and the possibility of a foreign decline seems more remote, The Bank of England gained last week £1,270,000, and the baok of Frauce $230,000 in gold Securit'es do not appear to be moving very largoly either way, while the merchandise exports for three weeks show a gain of 14 per cont over last year, against a gain of 10 per cent in imports, The rate of foreizn ex- change has accordingly declined a share. Thero is a litilo more stringency ub Omana, less at Cleveland and an active demand with a consorvative tone at Chicago, but other- wiso tho markets west and south all report pplies adequate for legitimato trade, Collections are unusually satisfactory at almost all points, though Milwaukee notes some tardin because the farmers are hold- g back their products for beter prices, The volume of trade, fair for the season at all points, is greater than a year ago at most, and the agerogate of bank clearings outside of New York exceeds last year’'s by 2 per cent. Chicago finds & larger increase, par- ularly mn dry goods, while sales of cloth- ing and shoes are fair, notwithstanding tho mild and dry weather, Provision sales aro larger than last year and grain sales arc about as large. The wool trade has been the largest here for along time and more active at Boston, where sales weore 3,100,000 pounds, but dull at Philadelphia, Plainly some manufacturers are taking hold with more confidence, the market having been nearly cloared of some grades of foreign stock imported under the old rulings, and imports of worsted having of late decreased, Tron grows stronger. Tho Thomas com- pany has advanced its price §1. A demuand from Canada and from Mexico is felr, for- eign prices being high.

The market for securities has been weak in spite of the relief 1n the money market und some very favorabie reports regarding particular properties. The trafiic arrangement between the Union Pacific and the Chicago & Northwestern is thought to foreshadow an abandonment of the so-called vresidents’ association, and an attempt to secure more effective consolida- tion. Karnings are 10} per cent larger than last year, for February thus far, but the Penosylvania statement for September shows a very scanty increase, and caused disappointment. On the whole the specu- lutive warkets are mot promising, and are judiciously let atone by the public. But the outlook for all legitimate business is more encouraging than it has beeu for along time, ‘The businexs failures during the last seven days number for the United States 188, and for Canada 37. For the correspunding week inst year the figures were 222 failures in the United States, and 32 in the Dowminion of Canada. THE DETECTIVE'S DREAM.

The Fate of Young Oharles Paul of Eikhorn Precinot. PROBABLY FATALLY INJURED. J. H. Clampitt of This City One of a Hunting Party Charged With Having Fired the Fatal Shot—His Prea. Shots for a Walnut, J. . Clampitt, dealer in manicure goods on Capitol avenue, went hunting on Wednes- day last, and as one of the supposed results of his skill with the fowling piece, n young boy is lyimg at the point of death at the Clarkson Memorial hosnita The boy is Charies Paul, the six-year-old son of Henry Paul, of Elkhorn precinct. Clampitt was accompanied on the hunt by B. Wittig, B. Bryant and several othor sportsmen, They had & poor time of it and saw no game at all until about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, when one of tho party treed a squirrel. Four of tham at once began shoot- g ab the animal, and finally killed 1t. A number of boys had been following the hunt- ers and were hanging around them when the shooting at the squirrel was indulged in, Aftor the hunters had captured the prize, they went to the residence of Mr. Oswold® near Elkhorn and were having an ovening’s enjoyment in making cider and drinking it wlien a constable appeared on the scene and placed Clampitt under arrest, on the charge of having shot young Paul. Clampitt was' taken before Justice Smith at Elknhorn, wio refused to fix bail, wus Dbrought to Omaha and placed iu Sheriff Co- burn's charge, ‘'hat_ official refused to give the reporters any information in regard to the prisoner or. to even tell his name or the offense for which he was arrested. The facts were secured notwithstanding. Young Paul, the boy who was shot, is in a critical condition. He received n charge of Dird shotin his abdomen. He says ho is sure that the shot was fired by Clampitt. The shot filied one sido of his abdomen, and inflicted & wound from which it 18 'very doubtful the boy will recover. Clampitt claims that the shooting was en- tirely accidental. ‘'hie above is stated to be Clampitt's ver- sion of the ca ‘There is anotherside to the story, however, which, if true, throws an entirely different light upon the affair. Jeff Megeath was 10 Elkhorn precinct when theshootingand subsequent arrest took place ‘The facts in the vase, as iearned by him, ur as follows: Clampitt, Benny Wiggins and one or t other hunters were going from Bryant's farm, where they were stopping, over to Oswald’s place, whore they had in- tended to spend the ovening. On the way they vassed Charles Paul’s farwm, here two young boys were pumping water for the cattle. The hunters stopped uud had a drink of water. Clampitt had a bottle of whisky and gave the two lads a drinis out of it. 'he hunters then started on, their way when the boys commenced guying then, One of the little fellows, it is said, picked up a walnut which bad fallen from a'tree under whicn they were standing and threw it at the hunters, at the same time yelling *'Rats.”’ AU this, Clampitt. turned around and said: “Iilfix’ you for that,” and fired his gun. Without “waiting to sce the cffects of the shot, he procceded on his way with his friends to Oswold’s place, where he was aiterwards arrested. Charles Frank, who w of hunters, told virtually the same story He did not know, he said, of Clampitt having given the boys uny whisky, but the rest of the story tallied with what Clampitt and Bryant had told him. *We werc at Oswald’s,” said Mr. Frank, “malting cider when Clampitt and Bryant came- over. They had becn there but u short time when a constable came from Justice Smith’s court at Elkhorn with a warraut for the whole party of us, None of us knew anything about _the shooting but Clampitt and BBryant, and the boy who was shot said that it was the fellow with the vhite pants who did the shooting. Clampitt one of the party who wore vhite pants, and so the constable went back to Elkhorn to have the warrant made out for him alore. He did not know anythicg s one of the parly about it and we did not tell him ut the time but kept him playing high-five until 10 o’clock vhen the constable came back and arrested Clampitt was arrested Le and Bry ant both told the same story. They said they were passing Paul's place when the two boys began throwing walauts at them, Clampitt, to scare them, as he claims, turnod and fired his gun into the tree and did not know that he had shot gne of the boys, until the constable came and placed him under arrest,” Reports from Elkhorn are tothe effect that the neighbors of Paul are very badly cited over the shooting, They take no stock. whatever, in the story of accidental shoot- ing. Anexamination shows that the pump by which the boy was standing was filled with shot, a complete contradiction, they cluiw, of Clampitt’s statement that he ficed Tiis gun into the tree. Ixcitement ran so high over the matte that the constable having Clampitt in ch decided 10 bring bim to Omabia for safe-keep- ben he took the train at Elkhorn Thurs- day night thore was a large crowd around the depot, and for a while it was feared that the prisoner would be taken from the oflicer. No attempt of the kind was made, however. Justico Smith, of Elihorn, has refused to fix any bail for Clumpity, pending a prolimi- nary hearing of the case, which will not be held until the result of the shooting is known.

Logan county, West Virginia, has an aren of 800 square miles, The only town in the county is Logan Court House, with a population of 500. There is one church building in the county, and that wis erected by o private in- dividual. The nearest vailroad station to the county seat is fifty-ive miles, Goods are tuken to the county in push boats at 75 cents per 100 pounds, as there are no ronds throughout the county. Land sells from $1 to#3 per ucre, Dense forests cover the greater part of this hilly and mountainous county. The hills are full of veins of conl varying in thickness from four to twenty-one feet, The Letter Came ac Last. Mrs. George W. Towle, of Kezar I'atls, Me., recently got a letter. The letter was not an ovdinary every-day sort of an epistle, but one that has trav- eled, It left the postottice at Granger, N. Y., October 8, 1878, and has been somewhere on the road ever since, just where nobody knows, but it only reached Kezar Falls a few days ago. — - A Venerable Bank President.

Protty Resulta to be Obt Homely Materials, A pretty design for sash curtains is developed in denim, says the Houso- keoper. The,curtain, aftor it is hemmed at the top and bottom, should be just the length of the window from its mid- dle to its lower sash, Trace on a strip of paper oxactly as long s the width of the denim, tho words, *‘PPull me tight, shut out the light,” and on anotl “Pull me back, no sunshine lack.' Paste these strips, one on each curtain, about an inch from the bottom. The iettering should be quaint and rustio in design. ~ Almost any fancy store keeps the rustic alphabets now. The couplets should thon be couched in white or red cord. Sew braes rings to the top of each curtain and suspend them from n brass rod, These ave pratty for ground floor bedrooms or dining-rooms, Denim _also mukts an effective por- tiere. One lately scen was mude of three widths of blue don ~the light sido being used for the outside. At the top and bottom hems of nino and eigh- teen inches were turned onto the right side and stitched—the dark on the light affording a pretty contrast. To cover the stitching a iength of white cotton rope one-half inch in diameter should be couched. Instead of attaching the portierc to the pole by means of rings and_ pias, yard lengths of rope were used. “They wers sewed at regular in- tervals to the upper edge; the ends were then thrown ovor the pole and se- curely tiod, after which they were fringed. - If the portiere isto be looped back, rope should be used and the ends fringed to correspond. The portiore could be lined, though the one de- seribed was unlined and hung in grace- ful folds. - Mistress and Maid. In England it is the law that when a erson hires a domestic servant, unless t is otherwise agreed, the hiriug is for one year, and if the employer wishes to dischargo tho servant before the time has expired, he must © heramonth notice or a month’s pay, says the Amer- ican Agriculturist. So ‘the servant must give a month’s notice if sho wishes to leave. Theve is no such law in this country. While it is very fre- quent for the mistress to expact a week’s notice from her servant before she leaves her place, and for the servant to expecta similar notice or a week's pay beforo discharge, such notice or pay is not required by law. In the absence of any agreement between the partios, the mistre: has a right to discharge her 8 nt at any time, with or without good cause, and the servant has a rvight to leave at any time she takes a notion to doso. The fact that a girl is hirved at a certain price per week does not re- quire her to work the week out. Such a hiring only fixes the rate of wages and not the time of service. A Simple Lamp Shade. Since lamps play so important a part in the decoration of homes, ingenuity has exected itself to provide beautiful shades for them. A very simple kind, t one that is effective and mnovel, is ng a plain yellow po tha deep floince of gath- Avound the top tied o half width of deep yellow surah, with sewing silk fringe across the ends. It tied in a simple yet generous bow- knot, whseh is spread out to cover ong half the shade. The same idea equally pretty carried out in old rose or cardinal red ned From Hints. For corns and bunions nothing is so cooling as the white of an egg. A solution of alum, ten grains to the ounce of water, is excellent for sonking your feel if they ave tender. Don’t think it is wasted time to pre- pare a few kindlings and iay them be- hind the stove with paper every night. Then if anyone is taken ill during the night aud a five is eded it is only a moment’s work to get it. Sunlight is one of the best disinfect- ants. The microbe that cause disease do not flourish in strong sunshine. It also has the advantage of being cheap. Ilgg stains can be removed by rubbing with common table salt, Leather chair seats may be revived by rubbing them with well beaten white of egg. Sandpaper will whiten ivory knife hanales after they become yellow with use or age. A brillinnt black varnish for stoves and fire places is made by stir ivoryblack with ording shelia nish. Faded hangings may be restored by ing the dust from them ing, then apply astrong iather of castile soap by means of a hard brush; wash the lather off with clean water and after- ward with alum water. When dry the colors will generaliy be found to be re- stored. ! iron io progrossive dominion of the kado.
