"Onr bugle sang truce when the night cloud
hail lowered.
And the sentinel stars kept their watch In
the 6k v;
A thousand bad sunk on the ground overpow
ered. The wear; to sleep and the wounded to die"
It is Thanksgiving evening.
Ail dsy long through the pouring rain,
through mud churned into a sticky, pasty
mass by the feet of men and hors:s, and cut
into deep sullies by the ponderous wheels,
without rest, with scarce a morsel to eat,
save that hurriedly snatched from the hav
ersack, cold, wet, footsore and weary, the
column has held its way, till at nightfall,
for the first time, comes the welcome order
to halt.
Thanksgiving evening; what a contrast!
Far away in the North, in the homes which
these men are seeking to defend, there is
comfb.t and good cheer; there is music and
there is dancing; the sound of happy voices,
and if, perchance, a shadow falls when now
and then comes a thought of the absent, it is
quickly raised, for realization is not there,
and then is jt not Thanksgiving? But what
is tbcw to give thanks for here? To these
thousands of exhausted, famished men this
is the eve of battle, and to many the eve of
death, for them there is no music to-night
but the mournful sough of the wind through
the leafless brunches, no comfort but a bit of
hardtack washed down, perhaps, by a
draught of bitter, black coffee, and after
that a bed on the cold earth 'neath the
dripping skies. Xo comfort. Stay; there
is one, one thing at least to be thankful for,
it is rest, sleep, and in the land of dreams
to forget. Not dreams of blood and car
nage,of bardshipand wretchedness. O, no,
for be.ore its kind fairy, who there leads the
wanderer on, evil things and darkness fly.
"What U it that is passing through the
mind of that stalwart fellow, who with sev
eral of his comrades, has thrown himself
down at the foot of yon lofty pine? What
is it that makes the hard lines on
that weather-beaten face soften, and
causes the sleeper to look almost
as if he were young again, and
why that smile? the smile that his mother
might have remembered as bis when a boy.
The answer is simple; it is because he is a
boy, a boy again. Time to him was turned
backward in its flight and the rain that is
splashing heavily around and upon him is
the gentle patter of a summer shower falling
upon the roof of the old, red barn at home,
the old, red barn, wherein on rainy days
like this one, he and other lads, hsppy
in a respite from work or school, were wont
to enjoy themselves as only countrv boys
know how. Or he is coming through the
meadows, through the long, sweet grass,
over which the shadows are creeping from
the "West, with dog at his heels, and the
lazy cows, with tinkling bell note, rambling
on before. How pleasant and peaceful it is,
in the barnyard where the milking is
going on.
THE TINGE OF BLOOD.
He sees it all jnst as it used to be, and
yet, 'tis fanny, but why does that reddish
tinge on the creamy foam, cast by the light
of the setting sun, make him think of
blood? He stirs uneasily but does not
awake. Uo, not yet 'Twas but a rocket
that for a moment illumined with sickly
glare the misty darkness the boom of some
distant gun. The opposing watch fires,
like the many eyes of two riant monsters
who will at dawn fly at each others' throats,
plow sullenly and red; the rain is still Jail
ing, bat thesoldier sleeps on.
Again with the changing scene he is
seated at bis father's well-spread table on
this same Thanksgiving Day. Faces
smile merrily into his; faces that he has
not seen lor many a day, and some that have
long been dust. How happy he is, and
what an appetite ! How delicious the smell
of the old gobbler, staffed to the bursting
point with luscious dressing; and that plum
pudding what fragrance in its steam 1
Once more waves the fairy wand,
and as a young man he has
scored his first great success. No
matte; what : 'tis a modest one
enough, no doubt, but to him it is great, and
so thinks she to whom he is telling it, to
gether with another story the only one that
never grows wearisome w ith repeating. How
pleased is the girl; how she smiles, and,
blushing, looks down only to raise her eyes
again the next moment to the eager, confi
dent face of her young lover. Little she
guesses what will happen ere they two hare
trodden life's path to its ending; that the
future is to tell. And so the pictures come
and go, bnt always touched with light, as
gaily roams the warrior through the happy
past, till all too soon the morning star is
shining.
"What was that! Surely not the crowing
of a cock, of the honest, old chanticleer,
whose load clarion was wont to herald the
day in the long ago? If yes, then has his
voice become strangely altered; it is a
shriek, a scream, like 'the wail of a lost
soul, the warcrv of a demon. And those
other sounds; what can they be? Is it?
Soldier arise, 'tis the shriek oi the shell that
fills thy dream ear, the roll of the alarm
drum, the thunder of cannon. The combat,
which had raged the day before, has opened
again, even sooner than was expected, by a
sadden, combined movement of the whole
Confederate line. It is a rude awakening,
indeed, but the gallant fellows are no slug
gards. Before the quick commands of
"Fall in there! fall inl Close up!" are
scarce uttered, every man is on
his feet Hunger, weariness, all are forgot
ten, and in their place gleaming in every
eve and throbbing in every nerve is the
wild, fierce thrill ot battle. Crash! the
ground shakes. The rising sun, bursting
through the cloud rack, touches for an in
stant the crimson and blue of the starry
banner and gilds the polished steel, then is
swallowed up again in another cloud, from
out of whose depths blazes the death light
ning. Men fall, singly, by twos and threes,
and here and there by scores, but the gaps
thus formed close quickly, and grim and
defiant the veterans stand firm, waiting for
the order to charge.
THE CHABGE.
It comes at last and with ringing cheers
away they go down the slope and across
the fields where lately waved the golden
grain, bnt where now another harvest is
being reaped; over fences and yonder wall
of stone to where blue and gray seem to
mingle and flame meets flame in sheets of
withering fire. Listen to the death rattle,
for sorely that crash of musketry is nothing
else. It sounds all the plainer now that the
deeper thunder of the batteries covering the
advance is for the moment hushed. There
is music enough this morning, but 'tis of a
kind that the turkey-stuffing, cbampague
gnzzling stay-at-homes would hardly care to
dance to. Louder and loader sounds this
dreadful music Hotter and fiercer
wages the fight, advanced, forced
back, a point gained here and there another
lost, writhing like monstrous serpents,
straggle the serried lines until can it be?
Tes; the blue falters, wavers and then back
ward reels, while above the howling of the
awful storm peals again and again the rebel
yell. They fly; the forces of the Union flee
headlong in mad disaster, and see! To
complete the route, from away to the right
into the crowd of wild-eyed, frantic men
sweep the horses of rebellion, crushing,
trampling with cruel hoo's, and the bright
sabers, now red, fall and rise and fall again.
Is the day lost, and does treason triumph?
Eo; there is a stop. The stone wall lately
passed is reached again and the boys rally.
The rebel horsemen pause, too, In their mur
derous work, for upon them comes a band of
other riders headed by one whose golden
curls lead on to victory. "Custer! Coster!"
bursts from 10,000 throats, and Custer it is.
Straight for the haughty Southern cavaliers
ride the farmer boys of the .North. Horse
rears against horse, steel rings with steel;
there is a perfect feast o! blows,
a trampling, a rushing to and
fro and the tide of battle
turns. Before the Confederate legions can
recover from the confusion into which that
gallant charge has thrown them reinforce
ments have arrived and victory is won. But
at what cost? Ask the dead, the bloody
heaps of slain, the things that so late were
men. Listen to those cries of agony that,
now that the war cloud has spent its
thunder, are filling all the air; think of the
tears, the aching hearts, the bitter, hopeless
longing for those who will never come
again; ask the widow and the orphan.
Oh, war, war, savage war! thou art indeed
terrible. Yet there is in thy dread spirit
something that we could ill do without, for
from the ground sown with blood and tears
springs future good, and man learns "wbat
a noble thing it is to suffer and be strong."

NOT WEN A KIPPLE
Caused in Business Circles by the
Failure of the Lawrence Bank.
EVERYTHING IS IN GOOD SHAPE.
Timely Talk on the Interesting Subject of
Kext Spring's Flitting.
FAEMEfiS CUP OFF FK0M THE HAERED
Notwithstanding a bank failure and
continuons bad weather last week influ
ences sufficient to paralyze business in any
other city the general trade movement was
spirited in quality and large in volume,
being $2,024,000 greater than for the corres
ponding time last year, showing a degree of
prosperity that should be gratifying to the
business part of the community and discour
aging to the croakers.
The only shrinkage in values was in the
speculative commodities stocks and oil
and these were depressed simply by reason of
the withdrawal of support.
The sensation of the week In financial circle
was the failure ot tha Lawrence Bank, a
private institution operating under State law,
bnt the only effect it had upon the business of
the city was to make bankers a little more
cautious in scrutinising collateral for loans.
Outside of the banks the failure was discussed
and put aside as an ordinary incident having
no special bearing upon the general trade of
the city.
Reports on the street yesterday afternoon
were to the effect that depositors, it not paid in
full, would recover at least 75 per cent The
bank wants reasonable time to enable It to
make the most of its assets, and this should not
be refused, as to act hastily would inevitably
result In the sacrifice of much valuable prop
erty. The change of moving day is essential to the
health and comfort of a large part of the com
munity. Tenants should impress this upon
their landloras and urge them to sign the
agreement Prompt action is "necessary to
secure the benefit of the change next year.
A lite-long friend of W. W. Young, President
of the Lawrence Bank, thus writes:
To the Hnanclal Editor of The Dispatch:
Whatever may be the outcome of the unfortu
nate failure which has agitated financial circlet
for a few days past, there is one thing sure, that
the bnBlness integrity of W. W. Young will come
ont unscathed. He has, no doubt, done unwise
things let him who has not cast the first stone
bnt the public may rest assured there Is no
crookedness. Mr. Young bat a big heart, and
when he saw friends In financial straits was ever
ready to extend a helping hand. A truer. Under
friend 1 never knew. Be is generous to a fault.
When the whole story of the Lawrence Bank
trouble Is told It will bo found that W. W. Young
has been more "sinned against than sinning."
He has been made a scapegoat for others' delin
quencies. When he saw a friend In straits there
was no man readier to-help, and his generous na
ture has brought upon him burdens sufficient to
crush the bravest soul. A little chanty for a kind
and true-hearted man In the deeps will be timely
now. East End.

House renting promises to be quite lively
next spring. Applications are already being
made, and in a month there will be a perfect
rush, unless all signs should fait The demand,
so far, is principally for five and six-roomed
houses or flats, within 15 or 20 minutes of the
postofflce, and costing from $20 to $55 a month.
There are two classes of people in Pittsburg
who would use flats if they conld get just
wbat they want Ono class wants everything
on one floor, so as to do away with the dumb
waiter. This is easy to do here, where natural
gas is so generally used as to easily secure a
constant supply of hot water, and no coal to
carry. The other class would be satisfied with
the New York stylo of flats rooms en snite,
dumb-waiter and servants downstairs. This
'demand for flats should Interest capitalists
who are on the lookout for investments which
would pay 10 or 15 per cent
The supply of tenements, from all indica
tions, will fall far short of the demand. Very
few of those now occupied will be vacated, un
less under compulsion, and the newcomers,
whose name will be legion, will be compelled to
do considerable hustling to secure quarters,
notwithstanding the large number of houses
erected during the year. Whole houses, as
stated, are, and will be scarce. There is little
probability of a material advance in rental,
except, perhaps, in specially desirable business
locations.
There Is a dearth of business houses, which
may serve owners as a pretext for advancing
prices. This is another pointer for capitalists.
A city of the sue and Importance of Pittsburg
should see to it mat mil opportunity be given
for the expansion of business, which cannot be
done so long as there are insufficient accommo
dations for it.
As usual there will be a large movement
toward the suburbs, and rents will undonbtedly
have an upward tendency, as a natural result
of quicker transit and extensive street im
provements. tr
Tenants should insist upon their landlords
signing the agreement for changing moving
day. The only persons having valid reasons for
opposing the change are the doctors.
The weather last week was not of the kind
that brings joy to the hearts of the people en
gaged in outdoor occupations. The English
epithet ''beastly" describes it perfectly. It may
not have rained cats and dogs, but almost
everything else came down. City streets were
a 'terror to dainty pedestrians, and country
roads simply horrible, and are likely to remain
in that condition the rest of the season. Farmers
living at any considerable distance from the
railroads are as completely shut ont of a mar
ket for their produce as if none existed.
Builders, of course, suffered from the weather
as much as other people. Still they were not
knocked out entirely, bnt made considerable
progress on bouses under roof, and did a good
deal between showers to complete foundations.
The number of permits issued during the week
was 39, and the estimated cost of the improve
ments, SS0.460.
The Pittsburg Incline Company Is doing a
good deal to develop property in the Thirty
first ward, Knoxville and Beltzhoover boroughs.
The new freight and passenger incline is being
pushed forward as rapidly as possible. It starts
on Washington street, between Eleventh and
Twelfth streets, and lands at the intersection
of Washington, Brownsville and Arlington ave
nues. Thirty-first ward (AUentown). The work
will be completed April L, 18901
It Is unnecessary to point out the results that
will attend this enterprise. It means much to
the Southside generally, but very much more
to hill property on that side of the river.

"Will the bank failure have a bad effect upon
the real estate market:"
This question was put to a prominent Fourth
avenue agent yesterday evening. His reply
was:
Not the least It will be a benefit It will
cause people to buy real estate1 who never
bought before. They know it is safe. I sold a
lot in the Twenty-second ward this morning to
a man who would, have made a different invest
ment but for the bank failure. Many others
will follow his example. Tho fact Is, real es
tate is the best and safest thing that money can-
be put Into and people are fast nnddlnglt one"
STOCKS SLUGGISH.
Not Stack Tim. nnd Values Yield
to
Depressing Influences.
Natural gas stocks continued their downward
career yesterday, led by Philadelphia. Even
Bridgewater joined the funeral procession.
The tractions 1ere not much better, although
the belief that they have a rosy future prevents
them from falling hopelessly into the rut.
Railroad shares, on the other hand, were firm,
concessions being refused. There was an act
ive demand for bank, insurance, and bridge
stocks, which in some cases showed advances.
It should be said, perhaps, that the weakness
of the market was due more to the absence of
support than anything else, although the bank
failure and bad wea tier exerted a depressing
Influence.

UNLXTERRUPTED PROSPERITY
In This Hnppy Commuuliy, as Shown by
Trnlkful Figures.
That business in Pittsburg is on a substantial
basis of activity is demonstrated by the Clear
ing House report, which shows a gain in ex
changes over the corresponding week last year
of J2,024,774 20.
The week in financial circles closed yesterday
with a good supply of funds and a fair demand
from the best class of borrowers merchants
and manufacturers. There was no trouble to
get money on good collateral at 6 per cent, but
outsiders were taxed a little more. The talk
cf tight money, frequently heard the past few
days, is misleading. There is no tightness, no
squeeze, but nono to throw away, and more
caution is exercised in discounting. Gilt-edged
paper is wanted.
The Clearing Honse report shows that pros
perity is uninterrupted. It is as follows:

OH Keeps Up Its Reputation for Narrowness
and DnllncsaZ
The oil market yesterday presented the same
dull and uninteresting features which had
characterized it the previous days ol the week.
The only strength It had 'was furnished by
shorts covering, giving the bulls a chance to
runup prices. It was a pykers' market pure
and simple, outsiders taking no hand in it
Elements of weakness were a decline in re
fined at Antwerp and reports or good field
prospects in the new district near Shanopin.
Tho market ODened at 109? iiio-ho.c 11M,'
lowest 109, closing 110. Friday's clearances
were 700 Out) barrels. Clearances for tha week
were 3,658,000 barrels. The feeling at the close
favored a stronger and more active market this
A Washington, Pa., telegram was to the fol
lowing purport: The Clark welt which sur
prised the trade by coming in witb a boom, has
increased its production to 15 barrels per hour.
One ot the peculiar features connected with
the striking of this well, is the fact that the
Grayson well, In this territory, which was dry
and had been abandoned, commenced flowing
and is now considered a fair well. Knox No.
20, the McKown gusner. Is reported to have In
creased its production from 25 to 53 barrels ner
hour. I
The reports from Manntngton that the B toner
well and the oil fields thereabouts bad been
abandoned are without foundation. Four wells
are now drilling In that field and good results
are expected when the drill strikes the sand.
Jennings dfc Co. In Luck.
It is only a week since Jennings & Co. struck
theirgusher on the Davis farm, one and a half
miles from Crafton and one mile southeast of
Arbuckle. This well is still making a 16-barrel
producer an hour, and not drilled in yet. This
developes their SOO-acro leases around it
Yesterday afternoon their Cape farm No. 2,
three and one-quarter miles southwest of pres

was covering of shorts on a liberal scale, and
the upward movement which followed was very
pronounced. Outside of Reading and Atchison
there was little interest in the stocks of tha
usually active list, though the Northern Pa

that the success ot the reorganization plan
would be announced to-day, but like all the
active stocks its final gain was Insignificant
The center ot Interest in the regular list was
Chesapeake and Ohio, which was strong and
active for ail three classes of stock on the be
lief that the IVanderbilt-Drexel-Morgan Inter

Silver Coinage and Probable Legislation by
Congress Large Railway Earnings.
By John M. Oakley ft Co. i Special 'Wire.
New York, November 23. There Is always
some uncertainty Immediately preceding the
assembling of Congress, and this year that un
certainty is increased, as we have an adminis
tration whose policy has not yet been defined
There will be questions ot silver coinage, sub
sidies to Tnerchant marine, postal, telegraphic,
and legislation on tha Paciflo railroads.
Amendments to the inter-State commerce act
especially witb reference to Canadian competi
tion and anti-trust bills, will be Introduced.
The silver question will perhaps attract more
attention In financial circles than any otber
There is a snong silver party in this country,
and in the West it is the popular one. Here
tofore the Senate has stood between the House
and radical silver legislation, but the Senate
this session may be modified by tha addition
of Senators from four new Western States.
Any considerable increase in silver coinage
and tbe removal of tha important restrictions
now subordinating it to gold would be a
measure of inflation, and bulls on stocks are
inclined to regard this prospect with com
placenoy if not witb gratification. If, however.
anything should be determined upon to compel
tbe Treasury to redeem greenbacks In silver
instead of gold, our gold might suddenly com
mand a premium, and thus a shrinkage In the
circulating medium would instantly bo accom
plished, in that event gold would Be like so
much wheat or cotton a mere commodity.
This would only result from very radical legis
lation, but it would come as surely as effect
follows cause. If free coinage of silver should
be undertaken.
a One possible result of the discussion of sliver
vills in Congress might be that English invest
ors In American stocks would become alarmed
at tbe prospect of their dividends and principal
being paid in silver when not pledged In gold.
How much silver would appreciate In value by
an increased use in this country is problemat
ical, but it would be enhanced. The prospect of
legislation favorable to silver Is so good that
the price of this metal is gradually rising and
doubtless will go. higher.
Trade conditions generally are favorable.
Our exports for tha four months ending Octo
ber 31 were 1274,643.000, against $218,681,000 for
tbe same period last year, while tha value of
imports during tbe same four months in 1889
were $253,610,000 as against 33,328,000 in 18SS.
Tbe domestic trade is particularly good in iron
and steel products and the volume ot clearings
at 37 cities In the United States for the past ten
months was 12 per cent in excess ot a like total
inl8S8.
Railway earnings also show large Increases,
and business generally is reported good. Coal,
wool and leather ara exceptions to this general
rule, and business In these three commodities
has been unprofitable, and Is now very doll.
The impression common to people is that an
era of prosperity lies ahead of us, and this
opinion is so unanimous that in stock ex
change circles, and in tbe financial columns of
our papers, hardly any expressions of a bearish
character are beard. It Is confessed that money
is dear, with no immediate promise of
considerable relief, and tbat speculative busi
ness is very small in volume. There is a gen
eral anticipation of better prices to come. We
don't believe tha short interest is anything like
as large as represented, for only a few pro
fessional speculators have tha courage to sell
stocks short In an atmosphere surcharged witb
extreme bullishness. The only question to be
determined is whether the prices of stocks do
not now register this bullish sentiment, and
whether those who are inclined to buy stocks
are not already carrying as large lines as their
circumstances permit If this be so, witb tbe
proverbial inconsistencies and incongruities of
Wall street business, may the market not be a
good sale?
The stock market to-day has not been very
active or Interesting. Cotton Oil and Sugar
Trust opened up and were the strongest feat
ures of tbe whola session. Lead was firm at
the beginning and end, with decided weakness
In between. Atchison was strong on the
acknowledged success of tbe reorganization
plan and the new traffic agreement with Rock
Island. Tho Grangers were without change.
Northwest had 109 miles more road in October,
18S9, than in October, 1888, and yet its receipts
were only 174,000 greater. Richmond Terminal
was the weakness feature, and Louisville and
Nashville, Union Pacific, Fort Worth and
Denver and the Vanderbilts showed not buoy
ancy. Wisconsin Central and the Northern
Pacifies were strong.
The bank statement was more favorable on
its face than in reality, as its increase of Wo,'
000 in reserves was largely dne to the loss of $3,
200,000 In deposits, so that the actual gain ot
cash was only a little over $100,000.

the lowest point in Its history. It was not a

Chicago-, November ST- In wheat a good
speculative business was transacted to-day, at
a further decline In prices. There was rather
heavy liquidation of Decemb ex wheat, and dif
ferences widened to 4K81$c between Decem

prices declined Jjc for December and Ke for
May, ruled quiet later in thu session, and
closed J34c lowor for December and Ha
lower for May than closing figures yesterday.

ing influences. European advices noted a
quieter and easier feeling; For tbta week ex
port clearances aggregated 215,009 packages of
flour and 500,000 bushels of wheat, boing nearly
100,000 packages less of flour and 3OQ,rtO0 bushels
less of wheat than last week.
Com But little interest was manifested in
this market, trading betngllmlted to local oper
ators, and fluctuations confined to1 5)a
range. The feeling at times was easy, bnt tha
market on tha whole was steady, values show
ing little If any change from yesterday.
Oats were weaker with a fair volume or trad
ing in May, but little of consequence was dona
in the near futures, and, as offerings were free,
prices declined fie Alay declined !o on stilling
