TOUGH CLOTH. A Startling Incident Which Occurred Be* for* the Dsn Shoddy. It was in a country grocery store, of course. Every thing in the shape of a plausible yarn either originates in or is directly traceable to a grocery nowa days, and I do not feel at liberty to de viate from the established rule. Sev eral good stories had been told abont tlie strength and durability of certain kinds of cloth by several members of the gathering. There was a lull in the conversation, and the clerk cast a meaning look at the clock and twirled the store-key in his fingers, when sud denly, as if moved by the spirit, Yank ton Puckett arose from his seat on the cracker-barrel, spilled a gill of com pound liquid of dog-leg and saliva into the coal-scuttle, stood with his back to the stove and began: "Yas, gentleman some kinds o' cloth is stouter'n all git out. But the stuff we nsetcr buy beats all. I remember way back in '54,1 bought a bolt of doe skin from old man Smitkjns, that used to keep the store up yonder at Pitkins' Corner, this side of Cragg's Bend. Doeskin them days was doeskin! Tough? Well, I should say so! Stouter'n blazes! tougher'n 'buck skin! Well, as I said, I bought a bolt, and my wife rigged me out with a suit from it, fixed off in the style of them days with a spike-tail coat. Don't know what a spike-tail coat is? Well, that's a fact, yon don't see many on them nowadays but it used to be so's a man couldn't be without one. They had long tails and short at the waist in front. Well, sir, I wore that suit every Sunday till after the war, and then took to wearin' it for eveiy-day! How well I remember it! That suit o1 clothes was associated with me a good parto' my best days. What Mr. Yank Puckett lie? Lived here all yer life an1 don't know me yet? I'll be darned! Well, one spring (in '68 I think it was) I was piowm' a clearin' on my land up there near Cragg's Bend, and the patch was full o' hickory stumps. I had two fine yoke o' cattle, and had on that same identical coat. I was walking along behind the plow with my head down, when all at once the plow struck one them blamed hickory stomps, kei bump! Gosh! I can feel that Jar yet. But do you think my cattle stopped for stumps? No, sir! Yanked that plow through it slicker'n grease. Did I bold on to the plow handles? Of course! Didn't have time to let go. But the plow jerked me through theopenin'in the stump so quick that my coat-tail stuck out hori zontally behind me, and was caught by the halves of tbe stump, as tbey clapped back together like lightnin'. That pesky stump had a death-grip on my coat tail but I was resolved not to let go n' them plow-handles. Fhiz-z-x-z r' Something began to give, but it was the coat WelVsfi 1 we jort yaiK, that or hickory stum? oat by the root4 as slick as you please, and 1 let the stump hang on to my coat-tail till we1 got to the edge of the field, when 1 supped out of tne coat and chopped il loose.

'Conversions" are the exchanges of bonds for equivalent shares of stock, such bonds being called "convert-j ibles." "Collaterals" are securities of any kind pledged for borrowed money.! Fledging them is termed "hypotheca tion." A "good delivery" is of cer tificates of stocks or bonds legally is-1 sued, bearing satisfactory power of at-, torney on the back or appended, and transferred agreeably to the laws of the Exchange. A "bad delivery" is the opposite, and involves the right of ap peal to the Committee on Securities, and thence to the Governors "Differ ences" are money balances paid where stock is not transferred—which seldom happens. To lend "flat" means with 'out interest. To "water" stock is to increase its quantity and impair its quality. To 'tpass a dividend" is not to pay it. There are other slang phrases used in connection with the business of stock privileges, which is not "recognizcd" by or done publicly at the Exchange. Privileges to receive or to deliver securities are bought and sold outside the institution. Russell Sage is the king operator in these pe culiar transactions. Stock privileges are '.'puts" and "calls," or combina tions of both. A "put" is the privilege of putting or selling to the one who sells it a certain quantity of a specified stock at a designated price within a fixed time. A "call" is the privilege of calling for or buying a certain stock at a specified price within a given time. The seller of tne put must be ready to biiy, and of tlie call to sell, whenever called upon. A "straddle" is the op tion of either buying or selling it com bines the put and call in one, and dif fers from the "spread" in that the market price at the time of purchase is filled into the latter, while in the "straddle" the price may vary from that of the market, by agreement or otherwise. The cost of stock privileges varies with the length of time they have to run, the difference between the prices named in them from those current on the day the privileges are sold, the ac tivity of the market, and other condi tions, and is from one per cent to three per cent of the amount involved. Ex perts affirm that they have a duplex character—that of policies of insurance and that of tickets in a lottery. In ex ceptional cases only are they means of profit to any but those who issue them. Even the latter—with the exception of the shrewd operator now so conspicu ous in the business, and possibly got even of him—are likely to come to grief, as the large majority of their predecessors have done. The gain of the holder is dependent, first, ou favor able turns in the market, and next on his ability and promptness in utilizing them. Keen intellect, prevision, nerve, watchfulness and tigerish spring at op portunity must unite to prevent the loss of what is invested in them. "Don't" is the best advice to those who seek ad vice about fooling with them.—it. Wheatley, in Harper's Magazine. PATTI'S CHAGRIN. Ono of the Unpardonable Mil take* Com mitted by tho Great Prim* Donna. A German paper tells a good story of how Patti made a mistake in Paris some years ago. She was called upon at a private en tertainment, to which she had been in vited, to sing a couple of songs. She did so, and the company overwhelmed her with praise. N ext morning the gentleman who had given tho entertainment sent her a magnificent pair of diamond ear-rings. They were worth not less than eight thousand francs. The prima donna expressed liet thanks in a note for the present, but she added a postscript to the effect that lie had omitted to inclose her three thou sand francs, which was her regular price for singing at private entertain ments. The gentleman was very much shocked, but he got even with her neat ly. He went to a jeweler and bought another pair of ear-rings for eighty francs. He sent his servant to the diva with these cheap ear-rings and a check for the amount she claimed. The ser vant said: "My master received your note this morning, and he finds your demand perfectly reasonable. Here is a check for it. He also sends you a pair of ear-rings, but those which I left here yesterday were intended for another person. They were sent you by mistake. Will you" have the kind ness to return them and overlook the mistake?" Patti saw too late that she had ruade a faux pas. With a face an red as tire she returned the magniiicent diamonds, but she sighed heavily as the servant put them under his arm and went oft with them.—Tid-Mls. The Afghan Language. "Ab," in the Afghan tongue, means water, as in Punjab (that is, the "five waters," referring to the five great rivers that traverse the northwestern province of llindoostan,) or as in Hur rirab (the water of the "Hurris",) oras in Surkh-ab (the "red water,") and- so on. "Koh" is a mountain, as in Safeydkoli (the "white mountain,") Koh-i-Baba (the mountains of Rabah or Babor,) or as in Hindoo Koosh (the Ilindoostantce mountain.) "Abad" as a terminal (the "City of Allah,") Ahmedabad (the "City of Ahmed,") and so forth. "Safeyd" is white, "siah" black, "surkh" red, "nil" blue, letc. Then there are the numerals, such as "panj" or "punj" (live.) "char" or "chahar" (four,) etc., all of which are descriptive of certain characteristics of the places to the names of which they are attached. "Panjdeh" is an exam ple, for as "deli" means a village and "panj" five, as already explained, the name of the place signifies a collection of five Turkoman villages. Whereve* "kotul" occurs it signifies simply a pass over a mountain spur. For instance, the first victory General Roberts won in 'Afghanistan was at tlie Pal war Kotul, the pass of the Paiwar, 9,000 feet high. —London Times. —In 1849 tin was discovered in New South Wales, but two years later gold was fQund, and the baser metal attract* edno mercantile Interest until 1872, when regular mining operations began.
