THE MONEY MARKET. There is no ma
terial changs in the Philadelphia money mar
ket. First class paper can be negotiated al
niue per cent. year, while doubtful paper
cannot be sold but at very exorbitant rates
Bicknell's Reporter says; s3s
We never remember time when paper
was SO closely scrutnized as at the present
moment. Notes of fair houses, which six
months ago could have been negotiated with
little or no difficulty, cannot now be dispos
ed of at all. Capitalists are nervous, and as
we believe without sufficient reason. The
business prospect Of the nation is, in our view
altogether favorable.

4 CAUTION TO MERcHAN'

| A CAUTION TO MERCHANDISING
heard good story of sagscious country gen.
tleman, who came to our city some days ago
with bill on highly respectable firm of
this city. The bill was duly presented for ac-
ceplance, and a young member Of the firm a
fashionable, showily dressed gentleman. who
had cultivated very dainty mousta-he, wrote
with gold pen his endorsement ON the bill,
giving his middle name in full thus, J. TEN.
peton Tompkins. The countryman looked at
the signature, read it slowly. glanced at the
fashionable merchant who was very fascina-
tingly twirling his whskers, and handing the
| bill over to him, remarked: -f84-f'f q
"Here, stranger, cash that document"
"Wha,!' indignantly replied the merchant
Discount my own paper!-it is a positive in
suit" 'Wal. can't help it," said the coun-
tryman; ali you don't must get somebody
else to do IT," To prevent his paper from get
ting on Change. the merchant concluded to
cash the bill, aud paying over the country
man. asked him qietly, "Why, my friend
do you offer me the gratuitous insult OF re-
curing me to discount my own paper?"' 81
don't mean any harm, stranger; but have just
got this idea in my skull, that when you See
merchant with that hair on his upper lip,
who writes his middle name out in full, and
endorses bills with gold pen, you may set it
down as purity certing he's gwine TO burst up

ing Of the profession at the Court House in this

his profession, by any breach of official trust.
g. To raise the standard Of professional educa-
tion.
8. To promote good fellowship and kind feelings
among the members of the profession throughout

upon clients, by pettfoggers and Others who are
not in good and regular standing with the Bar.

stantly and violently blowing from the north, and
benumbing everything that it could not freeze
Rain. hail. snow and sleet have followed one an
other so fast, or comminged together in such man

by some freak of nature their beautiful place has
been transferred from the terra caeate to the rgd

have suffered much. and those in the Office inn
mensely. Our STAR accustomed to shine in all

rising on Tuesday last. twas !. up but did not

CAMEL CoAL.-Extensive mines of this valua-
BILE mineral have just been discovered on the lands
of Mr. VIM NJ Peyton, of Roanoke, on Coal River,
in the county of Kanawha, Va. They spread over
five or six miles square, and the vein varies from
three to ten feet in thickness. From some indica-
tions, it is not improbable that entire mountain
is solid coal. The coal Says the Richmond Whig)
is the perfection of all COAL and until the discovery
of these two mines, we believe no others were
known except a few small ones in England.

FRAUDS ON THE REvENUE.-The Boston Chro-
notype says it is the most difficult thing in the
world to frame tariff Of duties which shall not en-
courage either lying or cheating. The ad Uolorem
system is a premium on lying and perjury. Under
that of the specific duties, there are innumerable
ways of cheating. For example, distinguished
Christian manufacturer of white lead in New York,
when lead paid duty of so much per pound, and
statuary free, used to have his lead cast into
statues of the old classic divinities Apollos and
Venuses were the raw material Of his pigments,
and he himself hourished like pig in corn-feld,
saving about 100000 in year or two from the
government
