The lirst thu.jr did was to climb
in tin' fjallcry ol the Slock Exchange,
and look dow n into the den ol 2,000
I'ntills and "heart, that were growl
ing, bowline;, Murine;, and bellowing
there. I have been in Jiedlam. and 1
have presided at u Democratic Ktalo
Convention; butl never saw or heard
nnytliing liko thm. I said to myself,
"Thiri thine; cannot go on long. 'This
thing must slop beforo night.' These
men will kill themselves. Thm thing
will burst, explodo of its own internal
fury." Hut I looked up and read the
legend above the I'resident, "Founded
in 1712," and then concluded it would
still go on.
Then I went to a broker whom 1
had met at tho Union Club, and told
him what I wanted to learn, lie kindly
took hold of tho tape which enntinu.
ally Mi earns out lrom tho "lickur," as
tho little wheel of fortuno is called,
which constantly records tho riso and
decline, of stocks, and tried to c.pluiu
all ubout it.
I found it impossible to get interest
od. Thero wort about two hundred
dirlerent names ol stocks on tho list.
Tbcso wero represented by one, two,
or threo letters or figures, or sumo sort
of Abbreviated word that I could not
understand or distinguish, and I waB
constantly getting confused.
Around this "ticker" gathered and
grouped a knot of eager, nervous and
anxuius men. Ten, lilteen, or twenty
at a tnno would clutch at the tapo as
it streamed out with its endless lines
of quotations and mutter to themselves,
iubher atcach other, swear liko pirates,
drop the tape and dash away. Others
would dart in, clutch tho tano. swear
or chuckle, as their fortunes went.
wheel about, givoorders to their broker
to buy or sell, as they pronhesied tho
future of tho market; and so it went
on all day, from 10 to 3, when tho battle
was ended by tho full of tho hammer
in thehtock J'.xchani:e,
W hen I tell you Unit thero aro more
than nvo thousand of theso "tickers,
or indicators, you can form some idea
of tho magnitude ol tho business. If
wo give ten men to each "ticker," you
have tho spectacle of fifty thousand
stalwart men slunding thero holdinir
up a littlo dotted striiur. waiting, hoi-
low-eyed and anxious, on tho smiles of
ncklo lortuno. To this fifty thousand
you may auu two thousand brokers.
ion must givo each broker at least
livo clerks, ofhco boys and messengers.
which swell the list to ten thousand. To
this sixty-two thousand you can safely
add two hundred thousand speculators
on the outside. So you have a loial
engaged in this gambling of more than
a quarter of a million.
1 ho stock broker is not ncccssnrilv
a rich man. llo must, of course, huvo
a seot in the board, which costs about
120,000. Hut other than that ho re-
liiires little moro than an ofliio and an
indicator, or "ticker." llo takes the
stock which he buys for you to bis
nana, ana norrows tho money which
ho pays for it. Hut they do not long
remain poor if they havo a fair m-
tronago, lor their commissions aro
enormous, double their old price, and
they have no risks whatovcr. They
rarely deal in stocks themselves, and
they aic careful to have plenty oi "mar
gin lor their own protection.
Of the broker I am bound to sav
that I believe him honest, and not void
of all conscience Resides, I found
him, as a rule, a well read, well travel
ed gentleman. They chronii lo fowor
commercial failures, by far, than do
tno morciionts ot tho great cily of
iiew lorsr, anu iney rare v rk'tiro n
tho Courts.
Hut to return to tho nul led. Findinrr
littlo interest in this creat maoltrom
of excitement without taking part, I,
iiiiieriiioaiiviceoi my nroKcr.Uoughta
lilllo Wabash: I bought Wabash becauso
it was the Mist stock on the 1st which I
could distinguish from tho mass of two
hundred names. And I camo to ro
mcmbcr it bocouso 1 hail boen born on
its bonks, as it were. Indeed, on tho
very banks or tho Wabash River I
havo soen my futher furrow tho field
lor corn in tho Spring, while my
mother followed alter dronnimr tho
corn in the furrow ; while threo little
boys toddled after, myself of the num
ber, and covered the erain that lav in
the little squares of the mellow earth.
And so jt was with a touch of tender
ness that I bought Wabash, and be
causo one of the eairer nartv holdinu
on to the tnpo watching, waiting the
turn ol tontine s wheel.
bhe did not bolrav mn. M aim lr
began to move upward from the first.
It was not so dull now. How inter
esting it was; leaded tho click or
the ' ticker" the pulse and hoart bent
of Iho nation. If tho land was heallhv
prosperous, the nulso bnnt h!i
and buoyant. If tho land was
threatened with drought, short
crops, or misfortune of any kind, the
pulse was low, feverish and dull. It
was dark like a poem.
1 li ail an interest in the nrnaner t
of the land beyond a sentiment. I
was a part owner in tho ono hundred
thousand miles of railways in America.
From that day forth 1 studied tho
geography of my country as never bo
line. My littlo up town room in the
fourth slory was hued with maps of
American railways. In less t linn a
week 1 nould quote tho opening or
closing prices of half the stock on tho
list.-
How patiently 1 hold on to tholune
along with the other timid and hope-
mi uiiio mourn : wo would exchange
opinions, encourage each other, and
lay great plans tor tho futiiro. We
becumo very confidential, our littlo
knot around that "tickor," and when
ono of our sot lost money ho bad our
honest sympathy. They wero pleas
ant days theso first, fiir Blocks went
up steadily, and it seemed nt last.
when and whero I had least expected
it, 1 was to niako a fortune without
eilhor caro or toil. I am perfectly
certain that in thoso fiw weeks I grow
to no a Conor man.
At last 1 closed out. I had in mi
nium more man eiu.uuu. i had not
invested no many hundred. What
scribe had over been so fortunate.
Stocks still advanced. It seemed as
il they would never stop going up.
I sal down and tried for days to do-
cido what to do. Coolly, deliberately,
unu alter us mucit and us mature
thought as I am capable of, 1 went
back lo Wall street with my money. I
had no use for 810,000. 1 had irreat
use for $50,000. I hug myself in satis
faction now, to remember that I
thought not so much of myself as of
my friends at this time. 1 could get
on with that sum well. Hut awnjt out
on tho great gold shoioof the vast
west sea 1 wanted lo build a home a
city. I would gather about mo tho
dear spirits of old. In some sweet
spot whero their wero woods and cool
waters, a warm sun, and prolific soil,
wo would meet and build a city a
city of ref'ugo whero every lloheiniun
a home, rest.

Un reluming to W ull street, 1 choso

10 get un sorts ol opinions. 1 got

With my "beurs" 1 sold St. Paul
short.. There was talk of rust, grass
hoppers, rains, floods. St. Paul would
tumble to tho centre. It had already
advanced from eighteen to sixty uinu.
1 sold ut sixty-nine, seventy, and
seventy-one.
With tho ' bulls" 1 bought Pacific
Mail. No danger of grasshoppers on
1'ucilio Mail. No drought, no floods,
or rust. Pacific Mail had fallen from
sixty-two and would surely go up to
eighty. I bought PucilicMail and sat
down to wait lor it to go up and St.
Paul to go down.

They hud never seen tho great city.
Now they should see it, bear tho
mighty preachers, and sail on tho Ai

short of St. Tuul and long of Pacific
Muil. I expected Pacific Mini to go
up and St. Puul to go down. They
did, and 1 had $21,000. 15ut that was
not enough to build a city with. 1
held on.
Ono day it was rumored that tho
rust was not so bad in St. Paul after
all. It begun to sturt up I Pacific

said that tho Chiueso had started an

Tho reports during the week from flub

cution of Iho Land League leaders, and
the policy of tho Irish executive touch
ing the wholo quostion. The latest
accounts say tho government intonds to
indict only six of tho leading agitators,
Mr. Parnell included. It is needless
to remark that Air. Parnell and his
frionds laugh at any legal proceedings
that may bo instituted against them,
wen knowing that no Irish mry will
ever be found to convict them, while
tno j'.ngiisl) government could not ven

Growing imnationcc is manifested hv
the Irish landlords in regard to what
iney consider to bo hesitation on the
pan of tho government. Tho expec

Mr. Gladstono, on Tuesday a week,
however, at the Guildhall dinner, bus

government concealing its police from

Mr. Justin AlcCurthy, M. P., bus
been interviewed concerning tho Irish
situation. His recent adhesion to the
Laud Lcaguo caused at the timo con
siderable surprise, and, therefore, a
distinct expression-of his views bo
comes a mailer of no little interest and
value. Ho says: "I did not join them
before because thoy went rather further
than I thought politic. Ono reason
why 1 did not teel inclined to join the
Land League was because they ap.
peared to go on one remedy and one
only thai is, the legalized expropria
tion of landlords and the graduul con
versation and occupation of land in
Ireland by peasant proprietors. J hat
is a greut schemo, und might, 1 think,
be successful. Hut there is meantime
ample room tor other measures. Tho
League did not soem to recognize the
desirability of other measures, and that
is the reason why up to that timo 1
held aloof. Hut when the leaders of
Iho Lcuguo becamo objocts of govern
ment prosecution I fell soBtrongly op
posed to that systom ot carrying on
political affairs that I thought it tho
duty of every Irishman, if his princi
ples would allow it, to join tho Leaguo
as a demonstration against tho prose
culion ; and so I considereil it u mat
ter of duty to placo myself on record
against unjust attacks, not only on the
part of the government, but of English
public opinion as well.
"Tho prosecutions will bo a totul
fuilnro. Tho Government has nothing
to bring up. 1 do not really believe
that Air. Parnell would bo convicted,
oven by a M idtllesox jury. Wo do not
think lhat Air. Parnell has dono any
thing for which he may bo prosecuted,
or intended to convey any meaning for
which ho may bo prosecuted. I think
ho has conducted his agitation hon
estly. If ho intended lo tako nny
measures approaching to armed resist
ance or rebellion ho would sny so
frankly, and not think of concealing
his purposo. 1 should think thero is
no danger of aeonflict. Air. Parnell is
barrier between Ireland and possible
agrarian insurrection, no still bo-
lievcs in constitutional and parliament
ary agitation and peoplo still believe
in him, and so long as ho is powerful
tho agitation will bo constitutional and
poacolul. If thegovernmentforceslnm
from bis present position I n ally could
not vonture lo say what might happen.
"As lar as uio government is con-
corned thero is only ono thing that
could be more unlikely than the fuiluro
of prosecution and that would bo its
success. As any idea of preventing
the agitation by prosecuting Air. Par-
1 think It almost loo ridiculous
for discussion. Ono immediate effect
will be mode. Mr. Parncll's popular
ity will bo oven moro complete than ot
pescnl. I should say that tho only
soction ol Irish populations with whom
he is not popular, is a certain section
of tho Nationalists who despise consti
tutional ogitation altogether.''
