Railroad Bonds — Irregular.

Stocks — The market after a firm opening and
advance of "_ to li per cent, became weak and
depressed. Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
was the special card, breaking from 97 at the
close yesterday to 9*1% ; 1-1,4.5 shares changed
hands on the way down. The Immediate cause
of the break was the announcement that tbe
white pool hsd been liquidated somo days ago,
and this led to selling for long account, and the
shorts also increased their outstanding contracts.
Delaware A Hudson was heavy, falling off from
82 to 78 on publicatiou of the annual report as
filed with the railroad commissioner, which
shows a deficiency of over $77,000 for the year.
The bears made frequent raids on Western Union
Telegraph, and broke the price from GO?* to
&7 it - The market closed weak at or near the
lowest point of the day. Business of tbe dy
was active, and large blocks of some of the lead
ing shares were thrown on the market, and tbe
news current was bearish. Pacific Mall was ex
ceptionally strong, rising 1 "-._ to 56 on an official
statement that the company's indebtedness to
the Panama railroad, $30,000, would be paid.
Parties: controlling the indebtedness hare sig
nified their intention of accepting the offer of
the steamship company. Lending rates con
tinued comparatively easy, leading shares com
manding 1-2S@l-61 per cent, per diem for ase.

. ECCENTRIC JOHN SAU3XOXS.
Announcing Hl* Own funeral tand Then
Hiding Himself in an Ores.
John S. Sam mons, the eccentric old farm
wbo on Thanksgiving day bad a paralytic fit
aod. falling upon bis redhot stove, was found
alone insensible with bis face and bead
burned to a crisp, and wbo now Ilea in a
critical condition, known all over the coun •
try. He Uvea in Crawford. Years ago be
provided himself with a complete burial out
fit. He also purchased coffins for the burial
of bis dogs and cats, his only companions.
He bought his own coffin and set the day for
his own funeral. His arrangements were
complete for the burial service. Even the
shroud was arranged and the undertaker en
gaged to officiate at the ceremony. He also
bought a dozen pairs of black gloves for the
pall-bearers, and it is said a clergyman was
co tra •d. The entire populaUon of the sur
rounding country became excited over the
event, and when tbe Ume arrived for tbe
ceremony plows were stopped, farmers don
ned their Sunday clothes, and housewives let
their churns stand sUU in order to attend It.
Hundreds congregated at the old man's
bouse, and hardly a farm-house within fifteen
miles was unrepresented. A great many
believed Id tbe vagaries of the old man, and
attended, not with the hope of seeing him
dead, and laid out in the coffin attire that be
had provided for himself, but with a desire,!!
be really was dead, to pay bim a tribute of
ri-s|H-ct. Others made fun of him and said
be was a lunatic. Some four hundred con
gregated for the funeral. The roads were
lined with wagons bound for bis little old
farm-house, and every tree, bitch ing-poet,
and fence-bar was utilized for the horses.
The. crowd soon pre entirely too large to
be accomodated within the walls of the two
story house, and as tbe visitors remained
about the place it was discovered that even a
stone tomb bad been built among the rocks
by tbe bands of tbe old farmer. He bad pre
pared the tomb both for himself and for bis
dogs aud cats. As his friends and neigh
bors eutered the house they naturally looked
for the coffin. - They found tbe coffin and
tbe pall-bearers wearing the black gloves he
bad furnished, but the corpse was missing.
Everybody was mystified, and a search was
made. Every nook and corner in the old
farm bouse from cellar to garret was ran
sacked.
No one bad seen bim leave the place, and
all were sure that it bad beeo impossible to
spirit away the body cither dead or alive. At
last the dingy old kitchen | was overhauled.
Closets were thrown open, boxes uncovered,
and drawers pulled out, but ao trace of the
misslog man could be found.
"Look in the oven," suggested an old la
dy who had taken an interest in the search;
"maybe be might bave crawled to there."
The door of the huge oven soon swung
open, and the ecceutric old farmer was dis
covered io his hiding place. It was the last
place in the bouse to look for a person either
dead or alive, and bat for the forethought of
the old lady would probably have been passed
by. Tbe old man was pulled out by bis heels
aDd found to be in good health. Then the
foar hundred friends and neighbors sßeoUy
returned to their plows and churns, ing
to let Jofao Sammoos boxy bimself when he
did die. Bat this feeling has since died oat,
and now the news of the serious accident to
the old man has been received with mach
regret among all his acquaintances. — New

AVER'S

savin.: the lives of tbe third generation

first offered to the public.
There is not a household in which this
invaluable remedy ha. . once been in
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there Is not a person
who baa ever given it a proper trial
for any throat or lung disease suscep

of Erie county. We were Republicans, but
we supported him for Mayor, for Governor
and were the first to mention him for Presi
dent. He is a much underestimated man.
He was the brains of one of the leading legal
firms of that city and there were only one or
two men who were his equal. Other lawyers
were better known, because they bad been in
politics, not because tbey were better lawyers.
He bad charge of many highly Important
cases. Tbere was one patent case, involving
$350,000, which be won. Cleveland is a bis
hearted man, full gratitude, honesty and per
severance. He means well and does what he
thinks is rigbt. The men wbo fought him
in New York were those who were disap
pointed ln some way In their efforts to get
offices for themselves aod friends."
"Mr. Cleveland had a good many things
to fight in his own State.--
"•Yes. There was the defection of Hubert
0. Thompson, by which 30.000 votes were
lost in New York, although Cleveland saved
his official bead. John Kelly acted fairly, and
I believe be will be remembered. Then there
was the Maria Halpic story. If the truth was
kuown there would be very little blame placed
upon Mr. Cleveland in that mat;
"What of the Conkllng scheme, which tbe
-Yam champions."
"I believe Mr. Conkliug will be oar next
Senator. The Democrats will vote for him
and I think the eighteen more votes neces
sary to elect him will come from the Herubli
cans."
FANNY ELSSLER.
Mr*. KsmUe's Opinion of Her Dancing.
*—A dancer, like a singer or an actor, cannot
transmit her work to future generations, as
the poet or the painter doe*, and it is only
from the recorded opinions of her contem
poraries that we can form any Judgement
upon the character of her art. none of
the panegyrics of Fanny Elssler can we learn
as much as from the careful, lnt,llig.n., and
sympathetic criUcism wfaich Frances Anne
Kemble gives us in her "Records of Later
Life." Mrs. Kemble saw a good deal of Fan-
ny Elssler f a ber first triumphant season in
London, when Mrs. Grote, the wife of the
historian, was trying to "make an
honest woman" of the beautiful dancer and
introduce ber into society. ".Mile. Elssler,"
she writes, "was at this Ume at Uie height of
her great and deserved popularity as a dancer
and whatever I may have thought of the ex
pediency or possibility of makiui. wbat Mrs.
Grote called -an honest woman' of her, I was
among tfae most enthusiastic admirers of her
great excellence In her elegant art. She was
the only intellectual dancer 1 have ever
seen.
Inferior to TagUoni (that embodied genius
of rhythmical motiou) in lightness, grace,
and sentiment; to CUrlotta Grisi in the two
latter qualities, and with less mere vigor and
elasticity tban C.rito. she excelled them all
in dramatic expression; and parts of her per
formance in the ballets of the -Tarantella"
and the wild legend of 'Gisele, the WiUye,-
exhibited tragic powers of a very high order,
while the same strongly dramatic elemeot
was the cause of her pre-eminence Io all na
tional and characteristic dances, such as 'El
Jalco de Xeres,' the 4Cracovieuac,' etc. This
predominance of tbe intellectual element in
her dancing may have been the result of
origioal organization, or it may bave been
owing to tbe mental training which Elssler
received from Frederick yon Geotz, the Ger
man writer and diplomatist wbo educated
her, aod wbose mistress she became while
still a young girl. However that may be,
Mrs, Grote always maintained that her gen
ius lay full as much in ber bead as in her
heels. lam nol sure that the finest per
formance of hers that I ever witnessed was
not a minuet in which she danced the man's
part, in full court suit of . the Ume of Louis
XVI., with most admirable grace and nobili
ty of — Philadelphia Times.
Glory Halleluiah.
WriUng from Platt3burg, Mo., Mr. A.
Museer says: Io common with thousands
of Keutuckiaos of the Blue-Grass region,
fifty years ago, I knew Nat Speaks, a colored
man of undeniable genius and unaffected
piety. He was tbe originator of tfae hymn.
"The Old Ship of Zloo," with tfae chorus,
"Glory Halleluiah," out of which has since
grown "Jofao Brown's Body," and the cele
brated war song, "Rally Round the Flag."
Nat Speaks, whea I first saw him in 1534,
was of middle age aod black of skia as the
purest blood of bis race, kind in behavior,
aod simple in speech as a child. His free
dom had been bestowed upon him by bis
master, io wbose family he had been born a
slave, where he bad been taught by the
children to read and write. He passed bis
freedom in useful farm labor aad his spare
time as a volunteer evangelist; teaching by
example, rather than by precept, the simple
truths of Christianity. His strong point was
earnest singing of hymns of his own mak
ing, of the class of compositions general theo
as corn-field and coro-sbacklog songs, with
a grand chorus. "Tbe Old Ship of /.ion" is
readily recognized as belonging to that class.
"The gospel ship is Ing.
Sailing, sailing.
Foand for Canaan's happy shore.
All who wonld ship for glory.
Glory, glory.
All who wonld ship for glory
I vividly recall to mind that once,dorlog a
season of great religious interest in Cynthi
ana, Ey., Nat Speaks would be invited even
ing after tvening to tbe booses of the leading
eitizeos to slog his "Old Ship of Zioo," aod
many nice little sums of money were pressed
into bis bands for bis performances, which
never failed to Impress bis bearers, and not
always without tears Missouri Republican.
George Conklin, the lion-tamer, says be
will hare nothing to do with cross-eyed ani
mals, nor use any other remedy for bis
coughs and colds bat Dr. Ball's Cough Syrup.
