,Mn,L Cheeks. Pome time ago it was deemed
pedient to do away with the dirty stream of
the Cohocksiuk in the northern part of the city.
nd substitute for it a large sewer, through-!
vhich the foul water no longer pleasing to the
he mat eenes could flow unseen. Measures
(re accordingly U'kcn for the accomplishment
of this en',, and before long nothing whatever
Vill remain of the once rural stream except the
name, and this will soon be forgotten. The
Hream has passed successively through the
stages of being a beautiful spot in nature, and a
public nuisance of the worst kind, and now it
is to become a hidden thir g, no different or bet
ter, save in size, than the thousands of other
wiiniliar structures undermining the city. The
work of building has been going on for some
time, and now the upper portion, between Ninth
Tnd Berks, and Dauphin aud Sixteenth
meets, is nearly completed. That portion be
t ween Delaware avenue and Laurel street has
given considerable trouble to the builders, and
the work has been slow on account of the pecu
liar nature ot the ground. A proper foundation
is very diflictsit to built at this part because of
jicK8ands. But the progress, though slow, 19
nire, and befor very long the work will be en
tirely finished. An Improvement and another
difficulty in the construction of this culvert Is
its straight course. When Dock creek nnd
Fegg's were eulvvrted, forming Dock and Willow
streets, the original courses of the streams were
followed, making the crooked streets. But in
the work on the Cohocksink the sewers are
iG-tie to follow the line of the straight city
ctreete, and the creek Las to be turned aside
from its old courses. But in this the builders
lave been very successful bo far.
Another aud similar improvement is at the
tame time being made in West Philadelphia
over tne waters of the Nanganesy or Mill creek.
Here a sewer is being built which will be by far
e largcsi in the city. It will pass two tnon
fand cubic feet of water per minute, and will
drain an area of lorih-six hundred acres.
The other creeks in the vicinity of the city
will boou in like manner have to give way be
lore the advancing improvements.
Perhaps some of us will live to see the day
"when Gunner's run, Frankford creek, the Wissi
vioming, Pennypaek, and the Pojuesing will all
rhare the fate of Do:k, Willow, Mill, and
Cohocksink ereeks.

The exciting news from Europe since Satur
day has already nad an unsettling ettect on the
money markets generally, and speculation on
further results is becoming quite lively. The
first great battle of the war has been undoubt
cdly favorable to the Prussian arms, and the
effect upon bonds and stocks is less marked
than it would otherwise have been, but ope
rators are very wary in their operations in
view of the uncertainty which shrouds the
iuture.
The loan market is again active and rates are
firm, Western exchanges being rather against us,
owine to crop movements; 6(a)H per cent, is the
range for call loans, and G( 8 per cent, for first
class mercantile paper.
Gold fluctuated rapidly on the strength of
foreign news, ana tue victory ot Prussia weak'
ened the market, though we fail to see on what
grounds. Sales ranged from 110119, closing
at about llvpg.
Government bonds, according to London dcs
Batches this morning, advanced 2 per cent
In this market they are active, and about i per
cent, higher than on Saturday.

ntoararcfnl rene at the Grave-A Morfern
l.nertea.
The New York Sun of to day says:
A circumstance occurred at Heal s burial yester
day afternoon which would seem to be beyond the
bounds of possibility. Jt appears that as Keal'
body was being lowered into the grave a man with
an umbrella np was seen pushing his way through
the crowd to tho giive. A bystander who was
eltKwcd by the m;in said, "There's no snnshlne, why
don't you put tbat umbrella down?' ''AH right,
mate, ,r said the man, "I will."
Mu'ti'iitig someiltlng to himself, the intruder
for'''d his way through the mass of neopie, and ar
riving as the edge of the grave, which thegrave
dtgger was preparing to fill up, threw some rotten
epgs upon thi! cinn, nnd exclaimed, rapidly,
There, take that, llauglng was too good fur you,
d vou !''
ScemiDg to become perfe.'tly insane he leaped into
the prave, and drawing a revolver, apparently from
the umbrella, he cocked it, and was about to tire
into the coftln, when, suddenly changing his pur
pose, he pointed the weapon at the crowd, and
said : "You made my sister a widow, now I'll make
your sister a widow." Two or three of the buna)
party precipitated themselves upon the wonid-be
assassin, and, although be fired the pistol, managed
to Knock It np In the air, and nobody was hurt.
A scuttle ensued, and, the Intruder would have
been killed at once, as the excited crowd had one of
the graved igger's ropes about his neck, and were
on the point of hanging him, when Father Joyce, who
has charge of calvary Cemetery, saved the man's
life, and aaw that he was conducted before Justice
Madden, of ltlissvllle, ueeus county, who com
mitted him to Newport lock-up for safe keening.
It was thouaiit that; au e.rort was to be made
during last n ght to lynch the fellow. When
arraigned before the squire he refused to give bis
conic. All precautions have been taken to prevent
the man being rescued.

Vom the .V. 1'. i'rre,' i.
The attractions of the seaside and summer
resorts proved greater than those of Wall street
for the great bulk of dealers at the Stock Ex
change, and hence the business of the week was
elugcrlfli and moderate in amount.
"Despite the inactivity in financial circles the
tone and temper of the markets underwent a
gradual change to cheerfulness and buoyancy
the result of the reaction abroad in the prices of
American securities. That this reaction was
sure to come in the progress of the war now ex
isting in Europe was prophesied emphatically
when the first' signs ot difficulty made them
selves manifest. It Is the inconsistencyof specu
lators which is so often the secret of their
losses. One of the most successful
'men of the street' owes his good fortune
to persevering in whatever policy his judgment
told him was correct. Ho was accustomed to
mark out his course for a future of several
months, commit his money to his brokers, and
give his instructions as to the purchase and sale
of stocks, whereupon he betook himself t his
yacht, and, out of sight and sound of the Stock
Exchange, would cruise the intermediate time
away. On his- return he found his ven
tures almost Invariably successful. Now.
had he remained at home Buffering
his mind to be bewildered and his calculations
to be challenged by the numerous intermediate
fluctuations arising out of tho thousaud and one
rumors and theories constantly circulating and
discussing in the gossipy precincts of the Long
Room, he would doubtless have frittered
away his money in '-buying when stocks were
high and soiling them when they were low.'
The moral of the above might have been
applied in more instances than one since the
outbreak of the present war in Europe. Those
who to-day are losers by the sharp decline
which has visited every department of the Stock
Exchange have their own timidity and incon
sistency to blame. When it first became appa
rent that war in Europe was threatened there
was a popular and general proclamation of the
idea that such a war would redound to our
benefit. How many proved their sincerity?
That there should be at the beginning of
such a political crisis some fluctuations and
some depression owiug to the endeavor of
finance to preserve Its equilibrium was very
natural. But tbat there should be the heavy
decline which did take place was illogical.
What has transpired as the great European war
has progressed? To-day in Londou the na
tional securities of the United States arc the
firmest and most buoyant In the market. The
first rush to convert everything into nioney ha
given place to a desire to convert money into
the niOBt reliable Investment. Our bonds
have rallied four to five per cent., although
the war has now reached a stage of severe fight
ing. Gold was 123X on the declaration of war.
It was 120 during the terrific fighting at Wels
tenburg. Were it another season of the year
the foreign iutluences affecting the premium
would be of little moment. But we are en the
eve of the period when, with the closing out
of the cotton crop, our exports are the high
est of the year, while a fear exists that
with the prostration . of the manufac
turiug interests in England the new crop
will fail of the usual demand. It remains to be
seen, however, whether in place of remitting
.specie in the ensuing fall we shall not be in re
ceipt of l irice amounts of foreign capital, sent
here lor refuge in the storm that threatens all
K u rope. It is well known that already orders
for the realization of capital invested with us
have been countermanded. How is it that the
municipality of Boston has within a few days
negotiated a loan of 14,000,000 with the Baring
Brothers, of London ? On Thursday last tie
Bank of England raised its rate of discount to
six per cent. On the same day consols in London
declined, and American five-tweuties advanced.
What is the reason -of this? ItJ is an old
axiom of finance that high rates of Interest
mean bad security. The advance iu the English
discount rate means tbat there is a distrust of
home paper. Consequently the securities of
America a country distant from the war and
likely to derive benefit from the war enhanced
in value. The higher the Bank of England
puts the discount rate the better it will be for
American crsdit, and the less likely are our
bonds to be returned to us. This theory will
explain also why gold, which, on the news of
the action of the Bank of Englad directors,
row at first to ti, declined subsequently to
