Special telegrams to Bradstrrd'i show that at most commercial centers general trade is of customary mod erate volume, without special activity, though there are some exceptions. Boot and shoe manufacturers at the East and "West are very busy, as are agents and jobbers of staple drygoodt. Lumber and leather are dull at Boston. Charcoal pig iron is stronger and South ern coke iron weaker. Gray forge has sold in Chicago at 511 80 spot cash, the lowest on record. At leading iron markets struts-" tural and bar are stronger and higher, ow ing to decreased outprit due to strikes and lockouts. The labor disturbance at and near Pittsburg has largely quieted, through the praijjjcal failure ot all that the strikers or locktd-out men hare been contending lor. Stork speculation at New York shows more or less activity, with a strong under tone and advances in industrial shares and railr-nd specialties. Speculation seems largely lejuonsible for these manifestations. Conflicting crop reports, th6 entire absenco of loieign support, and, above all. fears of lurtlior extensive sold exports, tended to check advancing tendencies. Thf Hnnnclxl and Grain Situations.

It was indeed a proud position for poor Cynthia lo wake to the consciousness that she had sent a letter to Lucius O'Keil, con icssing all her weak affection for a man who had deserted her for the first pretty face which he had come across. Her pride came so far to her relief that she forbore to weep over the less of so unworthy a lover as Granville Mostyn, but from the hour she heard of his infidelity her life was one of torture. A thousand times she was on tbe point of cSnfessing to her fond old parents what she had done, but their delight in her supposed prospects pre vented her. It was misery to hear them ihlate on their happiness in her approach ing marriage, and their affection for her future husband, while she remembered the self-condemnatory and heartless letter which must be already in his hands. It was torture to think of Lucius' return to listen to the prophecy of a speedy termina tion to the war. Svhat sort of a home coming would her lover's be, but one of sltame and reproach aud general lamenta tion. Yet she had not the courage to curb her lather's or mother's delight by tell ing them the truth. The most she could do, was to prevent Mrs. Xeedham getting her trousseau ready in anticipation of Captain O'Xeil's return, by reminding her that such a proceeding "was said to be unlucky. Meanwhile, she had received no answer to her letter, at which she concluded Lucius was too angry to reply, but she started at every shadow, thinking it was the fatal missive aud that the time had come for the discovery of her secret. The suspense and regret made Cynthia grow thin and pale, and her parents were talking of taking her to the seaside when an event happened to prevent it. She was sitting listlessly in the parlor with her hands folded in her lap in the dusk of a Septem ber evening, when the door opened behind IiOUlSTiUs 8.059.303 MmneaoolU 7.633.132 Detroit 7.738,618 Milwaukee ft.80O.2S9 Omaha t,7!1.890 Providence. 5,400.000 Denver 4.987.483 Clereland 6,(08,893 St. Paul 5.498,363 Houston 2,394,899 Indianapolis 3,434,178 Memphis 1,655,268 Columbus.

More than half the ore that will be brought down to Cleveland this year is now on Lower Lake docks. Up to Augnst 1 last year there had been put on dock at Lake Erie ports 1,993,131 tons of ore. When it is considered that there had been brought down to Ashtabula dookB alone close to 1,000,000 tons by July 15 this year, and Ash tabula's receipts since have been greatlv In excess of Cleveland's, which of late have ranged from SO.000 to 100,000 tons a week, it will do seen that last year's record has been far outrun. RAILWAY INTERESTS. The International Railway Congress will open in St. Petersburg August 20. A judomest of $4,500 was filed in favor of the State of Arkansas against the Little Rock and Jlemphis Railroad Company Thursday. Evert one of the five railroads leading from St. Louis to Denver is having a hard time to secure transportation facilities for the immense crowds flocking to the Trien nial Conclave. There aro rumors of trouble on the 'Frisoo railroad between the officials and the Order her. Her mother, who was knitting stock ings opposite to her, glanced up through her spectacles and gave a cry of surprise which brought Cynthia to her feet. She turned and saw two figures in the doorway, bnt before she could realize who they were, one stepped hastily forward and folded her in his arms, while a loud laugh from the other revealed the identity of her father. "My Cynthia! My dearest, sweetest Cyn thia," murmured the voice of Lucius O'Neil in her ear, as his lips rested on her own, "I have only lived ior this happy mo ment." "Is it Lucins?" cried the old lady, jump ing up and letting all her knitting iall upon the ground. "Aye! isn't it Lucius?" responded her husband, chuckling. "I thought we would surprise you, mother. I met him walking over from Melcombe Station. He says he was in too great a hurry to get time to write." "Yes! yes! "We only landed yesterday, and as soon as I could get leave I startad for Dovecot," said Captain O'Neil, shaking hands with jfrs. Keedham, and then he re turned to Cynthia and whispered, "My dearest love! how perfectly nappy I am now." Cynthia was bewildered. She looked from her lover to her parents and burst into a fit of hysterical weeping. "What did it all mean? Why did he speak so kindly to her? Was this the answer to the cruel letter she had sent him? But Captain O'Heil contin ued to talk happily and his eyes continued to beam whenever they turned in her direction, until she almost forgot the punishment in store for her, and ven tured to look at her fiance in return. He was certainly a goodly man to look upon. He had left England a year before, a hand some youth, but travel and time and ex perience had transformed him to a stalwart and noble-looking man. His face was bronzed by the Eastern sun, and bearded like a pard, but his eyes were as kindly as ever, and his smile as sunny and open as that of a -child. Cynthia comuared him mentally with Granville Mostyn," and conld not help acknowledging that ne gained by of Ball way Carmen.

She had deeply lamented her rashne&sin sending him her letter of dis missal before, and now she felt as if she would give her life to recall it. She be lieved that Lucius was restraining his in dignation, in delerenoe to the presence of her parents, aud she was so nervous ot what he would say to her when alone, that as soon as Mr. and Mrs. Needham left them to gether, she dashed, through sheer fright, into the subject herself. "Lucius! you received my letter, of course?" "What letter, my darling?" "The one dated the Uth of June." 'The 11th of June? Let me see; I am not sure. What was in it?" "Oh, nothing particular that is, it was a very long one, and" "What a shame I should have missed it, and when all your letters were so precious to me. The 11th of June, you say. By Jove! it must have come on the Orion. She carried dispatches of the 11th." "And you had none from me?" inquired Cynthia. ""None from anybody, dearest. The poor Orion sunk on a hidden rock before she reached Alexandria, and all the mails went down with her." "The letters were lost!" cried Cynthia, joyfully. "Of course they were lost, love. They lie at the bottom ot the sea, full SO iathoms deep." "Oh, I am so glad," exclaimed the girl in voluntarily. "What makes you glad? I am sorry to have missed one of your letters, even though I hold you in my arms. But what was in it? Come! tell me," "No; don't ask. It was a silly letter. I was sorry that I had written it. Let us talk of something else." replied Cvnthla, and Captain O'Neil was not unwilling to obey her. The load that was lifed from her mind by this information gave her such re lief that she made no further objection to any of her parents' proposals. Lucius O'Neil had to go backward and forward to London several times on business, and to receive his well-merited rewards, but he made Dovecot his headquarters; and the wedding was to take place before Christmas. And during that brief fnterval Cynthia seemed to read and appreciate the character f her future husband as she had never done before. She was amazed at her pre vious blindness' How could she have so totally forgotten all LnciusVcoodness and bravery "and self-control? Why, he was worth a thousand Granville Mostyns. She blushed with shame 'to think how nearly she had lost him through her weakness, and thanked Providence who had interfered to prevent her reanlne the fruits of her lollv.

Fulpit Themes In Pitislmrg and Allegheny on Sunday Next. ' GLEANINGS FB0H CHURCH FIELDS "Sraj that we may be delivered from un reasonable men" was a message which the greatest of all Christian preachers sent to bis flock. Unreason brings as much trouble to the pastor as the sins of his flock. A case in point: In a certain large church a member was taken sick without the knowl edge of the pastor. Instead of at once noti fying the minister, which could have been easilydone through one of the elders or dea cons, the family takes offense and withdraws from the church. A near-sighted preacher meets a member of his parish on the street and falls to recognixe him. Tlie unrecog nized brother is in high dudgeon, and has a great deal to say of his pastor's attentions to the rich and neglect of the poor. Many a bitter warfare is waged against the minis ter which has no other foundation than prejudice and misapprehension of facts. Sundsy Services in Plttibnnr ,Churche. Hazelwood Christian, J. K.

After a few weeks spent at Niee and Mentone, Lucius O'Neil was obliged to rejoin his regiment then quartered at Wool wich, and brought his pretty wife home in triumph. At the very first ball she attended after her marriage, she en countered Mr. and Mrs. Granville Mostyn who had come down from London for the purpose. Cynthia felt nervous and somewhat ashamed, but Mr. Mostyn introduced his wife to her and asked her to dance with all the nonchalance in the world. He praised her husband and paid compliments to herself, and seemed to nave forgotten there had, ever been any episode ot a tenderernature between them. Cynthia felt that reticence was the wiser course to pursue, but she despised him for it. "Where did you become acquainted with that fellow MoBtyn?" asked Lucius of .her as they were driving home together. .Cynthia felt her cheek grow hot. "Down at Dovecot," she answered. "He was staying at the Castle last summer. He married a niece of Miss Par ton." "Well! I hope he'll be good to her, but he doesn't bear the best of characters. He is what men call 'a loose fish.' I dare say his people were glad enough to get him married. Don't be too intimate with him, my darling." "Ol no! Lucius, I won't. I don't wish to," she faltered, as she laid her burning face upon his shoulder. Everything went well with the young couple after this, and Cynthia was ready to vote herself the very happiest and most fortunate of wives until one day her hus band looked up from the perusal of his morning paper with a shout. "Hullo. Here's a lark, Cynthy. They've raised the wreck of the poor old 'Orion,' and all the mails, though much damaged bv sea water, will be sent on at once. I shafl learn the contents of that luckless letter of yours at last." Cynthia turned as white as a ghost, but managed to keep her face well behind the tea urn. ' "What did you say, Lucius?" she stam mered. "The 'Orion letters are coming on. I shall know all your foolishness now, young lady. You thought you were quite sate by this time, doubtless, but, you see, 'your sin has fonnd vou out.' I wonder how Boon it will arrive?" He laughed gaily as he rallied her, and quitted the room, leaving his uufortunate wife in a state bordering on despair. "What should she do now? Hdw conld she prevent his receiving the confession of her folly a confession which even at this period might rupture all the sweet pesos Kingdom of God." Service conducted by the pastor. Rev.

And Lucius had been so good to her since their marriage so full of trust and love to unselfish and so indulgent. Tbe unhappy girl felt as if she conld not exist if such happiness were withdrawn from her. Prom the moment she heard the fatal news she was always listening for the post man's knock and running down to inter cept the servant's movement to the door. Her eyes assumed an anxious, fearful ex pression. Her ears were strained to catch every sound. Lucius looked at her once or twice, . inquisitively. He could not think what had come to his gay and girlish wife. And Cynthia meanwhile was pondering what she should say and what excuse she conld make for herself when he had learned the terrible truth. Would he refute to let her live with him? Would he send her back to Dovecot, branded as an impostor, who had married him, pretending to love him, while all the while, that wicked, heartless letter was lying at the bottom of the sea. These thoughts made her so feverish and absent, and unlike herself, that Lucius began to fear that she was going to be ill and fondled and caressed her so much in consequence that her sell-accusing con science stung her a hundred times more than before. At last one day, as she was wondering . when her wretched snspense would be over, her husband entered the room, laughing and holding a stained en velope high above his head. "I've got it," he cried, gaily, "the 'Orion' letters were all sent to the mess-house and I brought mine home, that I might have the pleasure of reading it aloud to you. Now, Mrs. O'Neil. Attention. The whole of your foolishness will be dished up for your own edification and I trust will be a warn ing to you, never to write letters that you will be ashamed to see again.". He was proceeding in the same jesting strain, when Cynthia's appearance brought him to a sudden stop. Sne had risen lrom her chair aud was standing before him with a white face and strained eyes, full of ab ject fear and mysery. "My darling! what is the matter?" he tenderly exclaimed. "Don't read that letter!" she gasped, "Don't open it for heaven's sake, till you have heard me speak." "I will not open it at all," he said, as he laidnton the table, "if it is to give yon pain." , "Nop Lucius! that must not be, for if so, you will lose all confidence in me for the future. But let me break it to you and then, when you have heard my story, you must do as you think fit" She sank on her knees before him as she spoke, but her husband raised her and made her sit on his knee. "Tell me all, my sweetheart," he whis LACS BXUQQLBBS CAUGHT. New York Custom Offlerra Start a Crusade on Women Law-Breakers. New York, Aug. 4. SpteidW Colleetor Hendricks, with Surveyor Lyon and Chief Whitehead, of the Treasury agents, de clared war to-day on all smugglers of lace, men or women. For several yean New York lace importers have complained of the large quantities of cheap lace in the market; that is, duchesse, Point d'Alencon, and other expensive laces were to be had at values which showed that they had either been smuggled or fraudulently invoiced. There have been several seizures by Cuitom House Inspectors, but the biggest seizure of the kind was turned into the seizure rooms to-day. It consisted of 1,565 pieces of the finest laces, and was captured from JIme Cariclee Zacaroff, a passenger on board La Touraine, by Cuttoms Inspector Mary F. HcQueeny.

"That is impossible!" he answered, gravely, "only tell me why I must not read this letter." "I wrote it in a moment of madness," she answered, with a hidden face, "you had been away so long, darling, I had almost forgotten you and someone else came after me and persuaded me that he could make me happier than you would, if I would only break my engagement with you." "And this letter was to break; it off?" "In the letter X told you everything as I thought it was. My own feelings and wishes the name of the man who had sup planted you my desire to be free. It is a cruel, heartless letter. If you once read It you will never care for me again." "You almost tempt me to read it, dearest, that I mav prove to you that you are wrong. Why should not I care for you again? Do you feel like that now? Would you write th'is letter to-day?" "O! Luoins! how can yod ask me? You know I love yon."

And If yon love me,Luclus, and trust me as you say, read the letter, and I will be content to bear the consequences." She hid her face from him again as she spoke and Lucius O'Neil put out his hand and took the letter off the table. Cynthia shuddered as she observed the action. Lucius had been very heroic whilst speak ing of it, but what would he say when he read the actual words which she had written? Might not this be the beginning of the end of all her married happiness? She glanced up fearfully. Her husband held the sea-stained envelope in his hand, and was examining the superscription. "Poor little letter, he said, sweetly; "how many tears it cost my girl to write yon, and how much she must have suffered on your account since. Why did you not lie forever, full SO fathoms deep?
