The bulls got the bears in a corner nnd goaded those unfortunate animals to dis. traction. Cold was going up beautifully, andvery ooay was making; tortuups. . I never heard unythiug like the rumors on the street. Fink, Jr., mad seventy millions iu half an hour. Morrissey made 'twenty millions. Vanderbilt's account hadn't been added up yet. Everybody rushed iuto Wall street nnd made fortunes. I got interested myself aud went to a broker and told hira to buy mo a hundred millions at current rates. He said ho wanted amnigin. It was just my luck, I hnd ordered in coal thut diy and paid fur it, and given Mrs. O'Lanus the rest of the money to buy nanuel and things for the hous". Gave the broker fill I ban, four dollars and twen!y-Bve cents, and told biua to buy ail he could on that margin, and I'd try and raise some more. Couldn't get &ny more that day, but raided fifteen dollars yesterday and went over to make a few thousands. 'Boutwellcame down like a wolf on the fold. And threatened to sell four million s of gold. Which charge in the rear sent the bulls scampering with their heads down and tails in tho air, with the bears ia full chase after them. Gold came down at a rate that made their heads swim. I rushed off to my broker. 4 I.te looked broker thau when I saw hitu taforo. Asked him how I stood. it. t:A v v . ... ; 111 bad acted on instructions as far ai tho margin went, and bought lour hundred and seventy-funr thousands dollars at 100 at 9 A. M., and sold at 12:13 P. M. at 135 My entire niarin was swept away, nnd the broker thought there was a balauce against tne. Told him not to mind that but let it stand. Evcryboby is ruined. l'isk lost three hundred and Cfty millions and will have to mortgage Lis Opera House. Morrissey is a ruined man, with nothing but n diamond pin tnd his salary as Con. gnwuinn to live on. Vanderbilt's loss is estimated at seven hundred millions. I am rather glad now that I didn't have any more margin. Wall street is a nice place to. keep out of. If )ou must gamble, bel on the election, play euehre, invest in twenty-five ceut jew elry envelopes, buy auction 'lots on Long Island, go into ticket speculating, anything you have a fancy for. Hut keep out of Wall street if you would give your margin. II-H Texas. Texas is the lust of tho "err ing sisters" to come home again. She in already on the way. On tho 22(1 of Feb ruary two U. S.

Asa hack, in Indiana, a few weeks since, wa passing a firm house, tho passengers were startled by screams within, and the driver rt-iued up his horses, exclaiming, "I believe the old fellow is killing his wife this time." So he jumped off his seat, ran in and pushed open the door, and shouted; "What arc you about here V The wifo, brushing the tangled hair out of her eyes, aud looking at him savagely, said : "We are having a little' hell of our own, and have devils enough to run it. We don't need your help." "SLOPPING OYER." T suppose 1 do nlvp over sotniitiitic? Well, I never saw a pan just full of milk that did not ship over. 11 you doliot'want auy slopping over, take a p-ut of milk and put it into a big bucket. There will be no slopping out then. And a man who has only a pint of feeling, iu an enormous buck et, never slops ove.. Rut if a man is full of feeliug, up to tho very brim, how is he going to carry himself without spilling over? lie cannot help it There will bo dripping over the edges all the time. And as every flower and blade of grass rejoiaes when the rr.iu falls upon it, so every recip ient along the way in which a man wit h overflowing, generous , feelings walks, i. tbankful for his bounty. How to carry a nature full of fcelir.g, and administer it without making mistakes, I do not know, you do not, nobody does, nobody ever will; t-:o we mub take it aud get along zig-zig anyhow and we are obliged to resort to ex. pedic-nts, and lesin from our blundcrs.whieh are inevitable.

A tew days ao, a member of the Penn sylvania Legislature, on his way to Ilarris burg, stepped up to the ticket office of tho Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com pany, in this city, nnd, by way of a joke, asked the agent for a ticket to Paradise, knowing, at the same tiiu's, there was no station bv that name cm the road. The agent, who is a smart fellow, handed the Leg islator a Bible, which he had iu his office for his own vsi, saying at the same time : "Here, sir, is your tuJcit and ruute com bined, which I furnish gmtis." The Leg islator happening to be an easy going man, and seeing the joke, threw down S3. 20, say. ing, "I guess, Mr. II., I will take a ticket for llarrisburg this time."
