At i.» certain up-town hotel in New Y-vk a friendly baud of stock opera tors : wont to assemble over)' evening !• t ill; over stocks and imbibe brandy afcti soda As they are all men who hiive made and unmade the stock mar ket, and ss their views may prove of viilue to the would-be speculators, the following anecdote, which one of them related upon a recent occasion, seems worth preserving: "I suppose," lie said, "that there is not a man in these United States who thinks that he can't run a hotel, man aire a theatre, or manipulate a stock. Yet there are not half a dozen men in the whole country who thoroughly un derstand 'garlic-kin?' a stock so as to prevent pc ople selling it down or buy ing it up at inopportune moments. I don't suppose you understand what I mean by 'garlic-king' a stock, so I will tell you a little story. "It was during the flush times in 1850. 1 was a pretty sick man in San Francisco, ami the doctor ordered me up the country for a change of air. Tom Jenkins was then running a ranch among the bills, and as he and I were old friends, I resolved to pay him a visit. Tern had a fine barnyard of fowls, and among them was a great game cock. He was as big as an os trich, but game to the backbone. Well, there wasn't a rooster in the w hole countryside that Ire hadn't tackled and got away with. Tom" had tried all lie knew to keep him quiet, lie had locked him up in houses, and tethered him by the leg, and half starved him, but it jvas of no use ; as soon as he heard an other rooster crow, that moment he was off at full speed, and never stopped until he had licked him. Well, when I arrived at Tom's ranch he had built a big cage, and inside sat the rooster, looking very melancholy, while Tom told me the whole story. He said that he would gladly give §I,OOO to any one who would find a cock that could lick his chicken, but at the same time he did not believe that there was a bird in all California that could do it. "Now, I had heard from an old chicken fighter that if a little garlic was rubbed on the hf-ad and under tlie wings of a game cock, no other rooster would attack him ; so I asked Tom what odds lie would lay me that I did not get a rooster which would defeat his famous bird. Tom at once offered to lay ten to one, and we put up a con siderable sum on the event. I took Tom's buggy and drove down to the town, where there was a poultry mar ket. There were lots of roosters of all kinds and breeds, but nothing very gamy looking. At last I struck a sporting looking poulterer, who said that he had an aged game rooster, whose father and mother he had known and who he was sure would show fight. He was old and dilapidated looking, but he was the best I could find, so I closed the bargain for one dollar. Then I bought a clove of gar lic, and drove back with my purchase to the ranch. "Next day Tom had asked all his friends to see the fight, and Mrs. Jen kins had filled the windows of the house with the ladies of the neighbor hood, all anxious to see Tom's rooster iet away with the stranger. I fixed my bird up as well as I could, and I rubbed the garlic under his wings and j all around his head. When I appear ed iu the yarri where the fight was to take place there stood the great game cock, looking more lik<- a Cochin China, and strutting round like an Irishman at Donnybrook fair. I kept my bird in a bag until the last moment, and as soon as time was called I took him out blinking in the strong sunlight. He looked round for a moment, rubbed his bill once or twice on the ground as if sharpening it, raised his wings to see if the joints were stiff, and made at once for his gigantic opponent. Tom's rooster took two or three jumps in the air, poised his head so as to take good aim, and flew right at the stranger ; but the instant he smelled the garlic that rooster turned a fled like a yellow dog with his tail between his legs. "Mrs. Jenkins almost fainted, and there was a good deal of profanity among the male spectators, who had all backed the home bird. The last last thing I saw of that rooster was his tail, as he crossed a bluff near by, with Tom in full chase with a double barrelled shotgun, swearing that he would never allow anything to be beaten ou his ranch and escape alive." At the conclusion of this story there was a long pause and another round of brandy and soda. Nobody ventured to apply the moral until the story teller did it himself by remarking that too much garlic had been rubbed into the stocks of certain rail-roads, and that no rooster could be found to fight cer tain gentlemen on their own dunghill I u fact, the two most promising birds had been frightened uway, and the stocks were a "dead bird in the pit," all the fresh rumors to the contrary notwithstanding.

A Skefrh of the Famous Indian—His . Birth and Early Career. Iu the death of Ouray one of the his torical characters of Colorado passes away. He has figured for many years as the greatest Indian of his time, and during his life has figured quite as prominently before the country as has any white man in the Rocky Moun tains. It is, therefore, meet and proper that on the oeeas on of his death his life should be remember* d. The record of his deeds is one of simple parts, yet he has proven himself elevated so far above other men of his race and time that his acts stand out in bold relief. Ouray was in many respects—indeed we may say iu all respects—a'remark able Indian ; a man of pure instincts, 1 of keen perception, and apparently pos-1 sessed very proper ideas of justice and right, the friend of the white man and ! the protector of the Indian, ever bold- | ly as.-erting the rights of his tribe, and j as continually doing all in his power to j create favor for the white man with the Indian. Ouray's father married a:i Apache woman ; hence the epithet which is so often snceringlv applied to Ouray by those of the Indians who dislike him, of being an "Apache papoose." The m;s became so accustomed to asso ciate ith the Mexicans that some of them began to adopt the customs of this people, and when Ouray's father and mother came to the conclusion that they wanted to be married, they quietly marched up to the little adobe church, which stands on the hill, in the village at the Red River crossing, and had the priest perform the ceremony, just as auy good Romanist would. And when Ouray was born they took him to the same adobe building and had him bap tized into the Romish Church, the only instance on record of the kind. Ouray had long been a chief among the Utes, but is more renowned for his wisdom than his bravery. During his young manhood, however; he was ac customed to lead the Ute braves to battle, and was a very brave as well as successful fighter, He generally planned well and fought bravely. Dur ing these times the Utes were engaged in a deadly encounter with the Arrapa hoes, Clieyennes and Sioux. It was a war between the plains Indians and the mountain tribes. Ouray entered into tin- spirit which characterized his race with a will, and soon became a re nowned warrior. He soon was famed for wisdom, and his council was sought by the Utes far and near. When the white men first began to settle in what is now Colorado, they found Ouray, chief of the Tabequacbe or Uucompah gre tribe, the largest band of the tribe, and in great favor with the members of other bands, so that while he was not the head chief, he was a man of the greatest influence and power among his people. He was also disposed to be friendly toward the white settlers, and soon became known as mediator between the two races. He continued increasing his authority and influence among his people until, as he express es it, "the year after Lincoln's death he was recognized as head chief by the Indians." In 1873 he acted as inter preter, and in recognition of his servi ces at that time and in the past, the government settled an annuity ol SI,OOO upon him, which he has since continu ed to draw regularly. . The Utes have had five wars with the Arrapahoes, and Ouray said that during some of these he led as many as seven hundred warriors to the battle field. The second war occurred about 1858, and some of the battles were fought just above where Denver st mds. Ouray had but thirty men with him, while the Arrapahoes numbered seven hundred. They 'came upon the Utes in the morning, just before daylight, and took the mountain Indians com pletely by surprise. However, Ouray rallied his few warriors, and they hur riedly formed in a square, after retreat ing a short distance, and after a fight which continued fourteen hours, repuls ed the Arrapahoes. It was during this fight that Ouray lost his little boy—the only son that had been born to him. He says that when lie saw the Arrapahoes coming, he threw water in the face of the child, then six years of age, for the purpose of awakening him, but failing in this, lie threw covering over him and let him go and fight the invaders of the camp. Hut the entire day passed be fore he could extricate himself from the entanglements involvinghim, and when I he did get away and have an opportu nity to return to his tepee, his boy bad disappeared and was never since seen by his father. Ouray lived in good style. He own ed a farm which is a real garden spot, of 300 acres. Of this lie cultivated about 100 acres, raising all kinds of cereals and vegetables. He lived in a neatly built and commodious adobe bouse, built for him by the government and neatly furnished and carpeted. He owned great numbers of horses and a good many cattle and sheep, and when he went out rode in a carriage, which was a present from ex-Governor Mc- Cook. He hired laborers from among the Mexicans and Indians,and also ex pected his wife to do her share of the farm work. Ouray's wife, Chopcta, was kind hearted and very much like Ouray in her nature, being kind and well-disposed toward the whites. The chief had become very much attached to bis present manner of living, and it is said was disposed to remain on his farm and surrender the reins of govern ment to some young man. Although baptized into the Romish Church, Ouray did not profess the white man's religion. Senoughlbase is the l*te god, and in him Ouray believ ed. He said that when good people die they would go to a delightful place like a beautiful valley, with a clear stream of water running in it, there to meet with the friends and the spirits who have gone before. They will all meet there—friends brothers and par ents. Over two billions of letters were sent last year in tho United States. The apple crop of this year is esti mated at 200,000,000 barrels.

Suddenly the gentleman said : "Madam, I will trouble you to look out i f the window for a few minutes ; 1 am going to make some changes in my wearing apparel." "Certainly, sir," she replied with great politeness, rising and turning her back upon him. In a short time he said : "Now, madam, my change is com pleted, and you may resume your seat." When the lady turned she beheld her male companion transformed into a dashing lady with a heavy veil over her face. "Now, sir, or madam, whichever you are," said the lady, "I must trouble you to look out of the window, for 1 also have some changes to make in my ap parel." "Certainly, madam," and the gentle man in ladies attire immediately com "Now, sir, you may resume your seat." To his great surprise, on resuming his eat, the gentleman in female at tire found his companion transformed into a man. lie laughed and said: "It appears that we are both anxious to escape recognition. What have you done? 1 have robbed a bank." "And I," said the whilom lady, as lie dexterously fettered his companion's wrists with a pair of handcuffs, "1 am Detective .1 , of Scotland Yard, and in female apparel have shadowed you for two days—now," drawing a revolver, "keep still." ■JA Y GO ULD'S E YEBRO WS. Jay Gould has no eyebrows, and a I correspondent of the St. Louis Repub ! lican professes to tell why. He had staked his all on Union JPaeific, and the stock had been worked up from it to about <>6. The lower eourt has de cided in his favor in a vital law suit, and it was with feverish anxiety that the result of the appeal was awaited. The rumor got al>out in Wall street that the decision the Jof court above would be adverse to Gould, and, in spite of the private assurances, that it would be against the government. The adverse rumors so unstrung G< uid that was hard for him to keep on his .at.

"Oh. shut him oli," cried Mr. Gould, "ask him whether the de cision of the lower court was affirmed." The answer was awaited with breath less anxiety. Gould sank into his chair as pale as a dead man and those j around him were much concerned for fear that if the decision was adverse he would be killed by it. The operator at length gave the news that the de cision of the lower court had been af firmed. Mr. Gould was prostrated, though the decision gave him mi l lions. He was carried to his home on Fifth avenue, and a long sickness followed. All his t air came out, including his eyebrows, and those nature never re stored. THE KANE PIPE LINE. On the 30th of July the last joint.of six-inch pipe of the line connecting Kane with the lower oil country was laid. The hollow iron band iiriks the northern field will) the lower region I and closes an iron circuit between Buf- I falo on one end of Lake Erie anil Cleveland along the southern shore 103 I miles westward. The new six-inch pipe known as the Kane line, has its nortl ern terminus on the hinds of Major-Genera! Thomas L. Kane. Its course may be outlined as follows : From a point near Kane, 2,020 feet above the level of the sea, it follows the big level as far as Tvlers burgh, thence through Snydersburg to Lucind# Furnace, on Paint Creek. After reaching the Whitehall farm along the "Pike" it traverses the Cla rion oil belt to the Allegheny river, which it crosses near the mouth of bear creek. From East Parker station it runs to Donelly station, which is re garded as its lower country terminus. Two three-inch lines connect Donnelly Station with ililliards, and lrom this point it five-inch line is laid to Cleve land. The length of the Kane line is sixty-, ix miles. Its lowest point, near Parker City, is 888 feet above tide water, hence between Kane and this minimum point there is a fall of 1,132 feet, which will give rise to a pressure that % ill be utilized in running oil. Ai Kane a station having four (>0 horse power boilers and a TO ton Worthing ton pump is being erected. The work of laving the line was commenced on the loth of May and completed on the 30th of July.

The facts are as follows: Bummelhans had just returned rom a trip over the State. His trip had been very satisfactory to himself, perhaps, but not >o to his employer. He had spent a great deal of m nicy in buggy rides and one thing and another, and had taken very few orders. When Bummelhans called in to see the old man, the latter was as mad as the mis ehief. He said : "1 don't pelieve you makes any effort to sell goots. Vcn 1 vas a drummer 1 alvays sold goots to de merchants no matter ven dey don't want any. I made de acquaintance von everypody." Bummeihans came very near re plying that it was the reputation of his principal that prevented him from sell ing any thing, but he restrained him self. "How did you use to manage to sell goods when you were a drummer V "1 viil show you all apout dat. Schoost you sits down in chairs. You pees a coilutry merchant, I plays now de drummer " "All right," says Bummelhans. "I'll be a country merchant, and I'll show you how they do." Bummelhans pretended to be writ ing at his desk, nnd old Twopercent came up from one side, bowing and scraping. "Gootfmorning.. Can't I sell yousome goots ?" "Who the h—II are you?" says Bummelhans, looking up. "I travels for the Galveston firm of Twopercent." "You do, do you '{ So you travel for that infernal old thief, do you ? Take that!" And to impress upon his em ployer the difficulties of drumming up trade, Bummelhans kicked the old man three or four times, pushed him up in a corner, and choked him for awhile, aud then told the old gentleman, who was speechless with bonafide rage : "If you ever come in here again, I'll not leave a whole bone in your car cass."

NO. 4;* ! HOW ARE THE OIL TANKS SET ON FIRE BY THE LIGHTNING ? I | Again we have to record the destruc tive-effects of lightning in the Bradford Pa., oil regions. On the 2Slh of Au gust. at 8:30 P. M., One of the 25,000 barrel oil tanks of the United Pipe Lino Company, near State Line and Tarport, was set on fire by electricity and burn ed ; also four smaller tanks on the West Branch near Bradford. At one time there was danger of a gigantic conflagration, as there were some twen ty large t: ; nks not far from the burning tank of the Pipe Company. By firing cannon shot into the tank its contents were run out aud the adjacent property saved. From all we can gather there eeems to be*good ground for the theory that these numerous lightning disasters in the oil regions are not generally due to direct lightning strokes upon the tanks, but rather to the occurrence of slight electrical sparks within, upon, or near the tank, whereby the explosive gas that hovers about the tank is instantly set on fire. We have in our previous remarks suggested various ways in which the fatal spark may be iuduced, to which suggestions the reader is re ferred. We have now to mention one other possible cause of the fires, and that is the electrified r.iin drops. Strong electrical effects are some times observed during the fall of sleet, hail, and rain, without the accompani ment of thunder or lightning. Profes sor Tait, in a recent lecture in Glas gow, said : "Falling rain drops are often so strongly charged with electricity as to give a spark just before they touch the ground." As the development of the slightest spark in connection with an explosive mixture of air and gas will produce intense li e, we here perceive the re markable possibility that some of the great oil conflagrations may have been caused by rain. The whole subject is one of much in terest to electricians, and as we have before said, we hope they will investi gate the matter so as to ascertain sure ly the cause of these frequent disasters aud discover the proper means of safe ty.—Scientific American. "HOLLERING" IS A RIG HELP. They were holding an out-door ward meeting the other night, aud a speaker and just commenced to warm up to his work, when a stranger with all bis worldly "duds" in an old sheep skin on his back, boots gone, hat go ing, and a dyed-in-the-wool tramp air about him, halted on the out-skirts of the crowd. The speech soon caught him, and he began to applaud. At the end of every sentence he clapped his hands and roared like a fog-horn. Xo matter whether the speaker "hit 'cm" or not, the stranger never failed to come down with the applause, aud he carried a good share of the crowd with him. After the speaker had finished, and while he was wiping his heated brow, the tramp approached him and said: "That 'ere speech was one of the best I ever heard in my life." "Ah ! I'm glad it pleased you." "Pleased me! why, it lifted me right oiT'u my feet! I tell you, you're a bom orator, and I just wish I could stay in this town and hear you make a speech every night." "Yes, I wish you could." •'But 1 can't. I am on my way West I shall, however, think of your speech a hundred times a day. 1 can feel the electricity of it yet, and say, can't you lend me half a dollar to help me on ?" "Why, I don't know you. Why should I lend you half a dollar ?" "Oh, come now—don't try to ride any high horse over me. You know how loud I hollered, and you know as well as 1 do that if I hadn't put in my best licks you'd have fallen as flat as a shingle ! You are a great orator, sir, and that was a great speech, but if you don't know that hollering is what docs the business, you'd better hang right up." The orator pondered over the mat ter for a few seconds, and then prob ably concluded that the reasoning was sound, as he passed over the money. Del rail Free. Pre**. ('OMPARISONS ARE ODIOUS'. lb-fore the days of chloroform there was a quack in San Fransisco who ad vertised tooth drawing without pain. The patient was placed in a chair and the instrument applied to his tooth with a wrench, followed by a roar from the unpleasantly surprised suf ferer. "Stop!" cried the dentist. "Com pose yourself. I told you I would give you no pain, but 1 only just gave you a twinge as a specimen, to show you the Cartwright's method of operat ing." Again the instrument was applied —another tug, another roar. ,'Now, don't be impatient; that is Duuierge's way; be seated and bo calm ; you will now be sensible of the superiority of my method." Another application—another tug, another roar. " Pray be quiet; this is ParinsoYs mode, and you do not like it; no won der." By this time the tooth hung by a thread, and, whipping it out, tho operator cxultingly exclaimed: "This is my mode of tooth drawing without pain, and you are now ena bled to compare it with the operations o: Cartwright, Dumerge and Parin son."
