The stock exchange continues lethargic. Apart, from the stevdy current of investmont buying of high class stocks, nothing is doing. Dealers concur in tho opinion that specula- tive business is at its lowest ebb, Never be- fore has such a prolonged period of inaction been experienced, The dullness is partly sttributed to the protracted settlement of the financial troubles of Baring Bros., Muriettas and others, Hitherto such embarrassments on attaining a crisis have ended in a sharp collapse. After the climax of pauic with a rapid fall of values, the public has bowun to buy, tempted by low prices: speculation has been resumed and busiucss hus soon recuper- ated. ‘The new system of making a series of arrangements in prolonging a liquidation hus sunstituted a slow and prolonged dwindling of prices in place of a sudden drop.

New York Supreme Court Declsion on a Note, New York, June 28.—A case of intcrest to business meu was decided by Judge Cullen inthe suprowe court u few days ago. It shows how an -ofticer of a company makes himself personally linble for the company’s futerest through ignorauce of the law goveru ing negotiable paper, Suit was brought by the Merchauts' Na- tionul bauk of Portland, Me., against John Clark and Edwin H. Close to recover the faco of promissory note given by the lattor to the Clark & Chaplin ice company of Muine in payment of & debt of the Ridgewood ico compnuy of Brooklyn. which failed last Sep- tember and is now in the hands of a receiver, The note was afterwards discounted by the bank, which is the plaintiff in the action. ‘This note was given by Clark & Close, as they supposed, in their ofticinl capacity as prosident and trousurer of the Kidiowood 16 compuny aud as an obligation of thut com- puny, but to their astonishment it now be- romes apparent, by a techuical error i the form of the note, that they are personally liablo as makers thereof, and the Ridgewood Iee company is in no way responsible on it. The note, Which is in the priuted form in use by the company for some time past, reads thus: BoOKLYN, N Y., September 18, 1890.—Three months aiter dute we promise to puy to the order of Clurk & Chaplin lce company &,000 at Mechanies' bunk, vilue receivea JOUN Crark.

He also instructed them thai the woeds “president and treusur alter tho numes of Clark and Close were merely superfiuous and that they must con- sider it tho individual note of Clark and Close.

NECKETARY F - STER'S VIEWS, of Continued Cotnage of Sil- Dollurs Not Practical. WASHINGTON, Juno 25, —After the cabinet meetiug Secretary Fuster made the following statement in regard to the silver question: After full und careful considera- \on of the law relutiug to coinage of silver, Secretary Foster finds that the act of March 8 roquires “that the secrotary of the treasury shall, as 5000 a8 practicable coin trade dollar Dbars into silver.”” He also finds that §150,000 Nave been appropriated for the re-coluage of 1 as will best serve to give it circulation. | That's | af ibsidary silver coln into such denominations There is & constant demand for smail coins, principally dimes, which the mints have not | been able to supply. Tho seccretary has de- cided that his fiest duty in this matter is to oboy the direction of congress, Congross hus ordered the coimage of trade dollar bars into standard silver dollars, Coinage of trade dollar bars in this manner will transform what cost £,087,i05 into 5,148,281 standard | dollurs. The sccretary finds that this will quire four months to perform tho work of coining trade dollar bars into standard dol- | lars and rocoining subsidiary silver. There- fore the question of continued coinage of sil- ver dollars is not a practical one at present. —— Tn advanced age the declingng powers are wonderfully refreshed by Hood's Sursaparilla, It really does “make the weak strong.’’ i ONLY AMA JRS YET, t Wait Till These G tlemen Get Some Experience. big was the fish you was the salutation of T to Harry P.

R. Dufrene had been silent up to this time, The man who thinks he has the best tish story is always silent until the amatear story-tellers have tried themselves. *“Palk about fish," said Dufrene, don't know what fish are, Why lact 'w when I was down in Florida my boy and I | captured a 2i5-pound terrapin. I'll cheorfully set up the cigars to any man who has caught on & hook as big a fish as that within fifty pounds. It mukes me tired to hear you fellows who fish in the northern lakes talk about the finuy tribe. If you want wood fishing you go down south with e time." 'IL just take those cigars, Dufrene.” It was Chris Hurtmun who spoke up at this juncture. ‘The eyes of the Yostparty had bulged clear out of their sockets ut Dufrene’s story. Their surprise wus a little too previous, however, for Chris Hartman, with his bland, frank face, deliberately, without reservation, crackea the head of Dufrene and all the rest of them with the following yarn: A year ago last winter my family and 1 were ‘in Los Angeles, Cal. One day we wont to Redondo Beach, the best fishing port on the southern coast of California. We had been fishing with lines off the whart for | about an hour and had caught smelts and flounders and cod and I don’t know what be- sides. The fact is we had been playing in tho biggest kind of luck, when suddenly I felt a tremendous yank on my line, and " be- fore I knew what I was about I was jerked from tho wharf into the water. I was fishing in my bathing suit, so that this did not make much difference, except that [ was a _triflo scared. 1 held on_to the line, however, and called to M. G. McKoon for help. In a moment he had jumped into the water and grabbed a ‘line with me. Wo swam a fow feet toward shore and then touched bottom. Such a scrambling and pulling as followed no fisherman on any other coast ever saw. It took us two hours to pull the fish ashore. I thought I had a whale or atleast u Pacific coast porpoise before we landed him, What do you suppose it was? It was the biggest Jew fish that ever grew in the Pacific ocean; it weighed 350 pound I'm fully six feet high iv my boots, as you can sce, and after the fisn was spread out on the beach I measured hiw and he was eight feet long. Gosh! All persimmons! I nover saw such a fish in_my life. I sup- rllod the entire Omaha coloney in Los Ange- los with fish for three days, all cut off this ought to have She weighed 16 1could tell you of pulling monster.” Durfrene turned pale during this recital. Tt was too much for him, for the very good roason that_he ate part of the fish. Ho was knocked speecbloss and as ho wiped tho sweat from a closely cropped head of very thin hair, he beckoned the party into the nearest refresiment establishment and they all drank to the neaith of Chris Hartman, with hats off to slow music and in silenco. 'The crushed look of the popular ex- architect found a perfect foil in the face of the vice president and general manager of the telephone company. The flushed and victorious face of Hartman shone with the brilliance of a Pucific coast oleander blovsed and the other two fishermen simply smoim and looked happy. Say!

New Youk, June 28.-Dr. Charles Au gustus Briggs has, in_ the current number of the North American Review, published yes- terday, a discussion of the theological scraps of which heis the center. As an introduc- tion to the discussion, Dr. Briggs relates the controversies that huve disquiote the Chris- tian church from the begluning. Proceoding turther from theological progress, Dr. Briggs gives au analysis of the present theological crisis, This brings him to the very matter reluted In his address and he relates his case in more popular language. He nas u para. graph or two on biblical theology, of which he is the professor at the Union seminary. Ho says, after showing thg importance of the scienc “Biblical theology 1s the yougest of the daughters of biblical science.” The writer of this article was, 1f he mistake not, the first in this country to write upon the subject aud to attempt o complete course of lectures upon it." “Then follows a few words on the much dis- cussed subject of a future state between death and glory which Dr. Briggs calls the “middlo state.’ Says ho of it: It banishe from the mind the terror of w judgment im- mediately ufter death and the illusion of a magical transformation in the dying hour,, aud it presents in thewr stead a heavenly uni: vorsity, & school of gruce, an advance in savctity and glory in the presence of the Messiah and the saintly dead, which is & bi@ssed bope to the living and a consolation to the suffering and dying.” The paper closes with statement of the fruits of the theological crisis. These Dr, Briggs conserves to be a strengthening of the sources and foundations of Christianity and a rejection of the childish conceptions of the universe us prevail in the traditional aogma, S De.

Butler's War Book. General Benjamin F. Butler is hard at work on his war book, writes the Wushing- ton correspondent of the Globe-Democrat. Ho spends most of his spare time, while in Washington, at the war department, reading over the records and taking notes. His con- tribution to tho historv of the war will be the last one by leading gonerals on the union side. Tt will be in some respects the most in- teresting. Old Ben's literary style doos not mellow with age. It rather grows vitriolic. The inquiries he makes and the rocords ho sponds most timo over indicate that ho will dovote much of his attention to Grant and the closing year of the war. There is-in- spiration for this. General Grant's closing report and review of his operations has been put into typo at tho war rocords offico, It covers the period from the time Grant took command of all the armies, east as well as west, In the winter of 1864, to the surrendor in the spring of 1865, It is elaborate, and it 18 unsparing toward Butler. Toward Sher- man, Sheridan, and his subordinate com- manders with ‘one exception Grant is con- siderate and often complimentary o his ofticial report. I'or Butler he has only severe criti m, and more thun ouce denunciation, When Grant laid his plans for the spring of 1864 he had strong hopes of bringing the war to an end before midsummer. The most aggressive campaign was planned all along the line. I determined,” says Grant, “(1) to use the greatest number of troops practi- cable against the armed force of the enemy, preventing him from usiug the same force ut different seasons against first one and then another of our urmies, and the possibility of repose for refitting and producing necessary supplies for carrying on resistance: (2) to hummer continuoiisly aganst. the armed force of the enemy and his resources until by mere attrition, if in no other wuy, fhere should be- nothing left to him but au equal subwission with the loyal section of our com- mon country to the constitution and laws of the lard.” ‘Then going into details of his plans and their execution, Graut, 1n his report, holds Butler directly responsible for the failures of three great movements. In almost so many words he makes him responsible for the con- tinuance of the war a year longer than was oxpected. He charges upon him the failure of the movemeut to capture Richimond. He makes him the scupegoat for tho Petersburg flusco. Ho goos into details to show what a farce Butler made of the Fort Fisher affair, und then he virtvally dismisses him from the army in disgrace. in all Graut's official re- ports there is not to be found anything like the scoring which is given Butler. It is almost vindictive. Butler has read the roport of Grants in the proof sheets, with all of the accompany- ing correspondenca and documents. To it ho will make claborate answer in his own book.

It might bo “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp,’ or it might bo ‘Johu Brown's Body.' In an instant he would be jolned by others, aud so0u, away down the long road as far as tho colutun stretehed, & mighty chorus would be going up, while'the men would brace up, their eves brighten and their footsteps lose the weary movements as they kept step to the music. Twenty-five thousand - or thirty thousand men stretched out over w long dis- tance in marching, aud you can lmagine the effect of such a chorus of male voices. Per- haps away off on some paratlel road, & mile or two awiy, auother column would be ad- vancing, and this, too, would take up the re- frain, and the effect would be heightened twofold.

"The difference between the real soldier and tho bummer,” said Eli Perkins in a spoech to his own Grand Army of the Republic Post, New York City, (Kilpatrick No. 143), is this: The real soldior drew his sword in a causo of right and country, while the bummer drew bis sword in a vafle. ‘T know but onc place where the true soldier and the bummer bore any resemblance. In the face of the encmy, when the valls flow thick and fast around him, the soldier’s voica was still for war, and it was then that the bummer voice was still for war—awful still. “Che last thing Lord Nelson did was to die for his couutry, and that will be the last thing tho bummer will do. General Portor-says: *“The bummer went to tho war fully: cquipped for ‘overy- thing, from squirrel hunting to manslaughter in the first degree, und his trousers wero 80 100se and baggy that ho could pet over a barbed wire fence without scratching him- self. When he wanted fuel on the march, he took only the top rail of the fence, and ' he kept on taking the top ruil as long as thero was any fence left.” And now the bummer who got wounded by a chicken bone in his throat at Fairfax court hou soldiers were storming Chancellorsvitlo—wlio got dvspepsia eating sdrdines and jam with the sanitary commissioners in Baltimore while you werelosing your arms and legs ut Gottysburg, where Is he uowt Why ho is in Washington working for a pension.

Among important records of the late clvil war are regimental histories, both northern and southern, but survivors of these organiz- ations are so few and scattered, and many are s0 poor, that all plans end when the ques- tion of ways and means is reached. This difficulty has recently beea obviated in & pleasing wlg for one hard fighting New York regiment—the First mounted rifles. An art- 1st-ofticer of the regiment, Captain D. E. Cronin, has for two years been compiling a voluminous history of the regiment, illus- trated with portraits of all members whoso families could fiud war time photographs. He bas also completed mauy pictures from skotches made during his scrvice with tho regument. The entiro cost of this claborate and expensive book is met by a wealtny cit- izen, Mr. Daniel h, whose solo interest in the work is patriotic. In auny county in the union there are men who could easily afford to follow Mr, Parish’s example and make enduring memorials of the soldiers of their vicinity. Such books are necded now 1 a fow years they will have become inval- uable. Lincoln's Joke About His Biograp!

It wus in 1862 that they came togother agam, but each had watched the other's career’ with great in- terest, When Lincoln was nominated for the pros- idency, ex-Governor Dennison of Obio went to Springtield to seo him and get from him a skoteh of his life to be used for campaign purposes. Liacola said, “Oh, let it aloue; I never did anythiug worth writing about.” “The governor insisted that o sketch was very necessury, and then Lincoln gave the governor the iames of some of his friends to et his history from. Among those names was Green's, and Liucoln said when he gave it to Dennison ‘He knows what not to tell you, which is more important than what he does tell you," Lincoln in Richmond.
