An Ingenious Trick has been twice
practiecd upon the famous and fashion
able tonsc of The Stewarts in New
YORK. About q year since, a well
dressed lady called in and selected II
shawl. the price Of which was $780,
she handed ont thousand dollar bill,
Which the clerk questioned. She ,ook
1t back, and appeared to be indignant,
when on reflection she handed over
another and genuine bill on the same
bAik, and requested that it be taken to
a bank. This was done, aud the bill
pronounced to be II genuine. The Ia.
dy than put it in her purse, shaking her
pretty head ominousIy at the clerk
VINO had dared to insinuatc that her
money was not good. She started to
go ont, the poor clerks making all sorts
of apologies. But on reflection, she
rctnrncd-the shawl pleased her-it
was so very beantitul-she would not
permit her excited feelings to deprive
her OF an article that pleased her so
well. She would have The shall M,
up.
The smiling clerk had it ready in
a Jitiy. She handed ont n ,hous.
ana dollar bill on the same bank, The
clerks thought it was the same. They
gave her S4O0 change, and the fair one
lett with the shawl and the change. On
making deposit in the afternoon. how.
ever, they found that the bill was
straight out counterfeit. The lady had
shifted the good and bad TO suit her
own purposes, coolly leaving the bad
one in the hands Of the Stcwarts, car
rying off their s400 ofgood money and
heir rich shawl A few weeks since
We are informed, tho same fine
rick was again played on the same
ionse, the only difference being that
,hc beautiful lady on this occa.
ion took two 500 shawls, left. two
me thousand counterfeit notes, and re.
eived back 5000 in good cash in

BRErIiREs AND FR1Eaps:-It is
known to you that this Institution has
become q department. of Furman Uni
varsity, and that its Professors have
become Professors Of the University,
aud are occupying their appropriate
stations with great advantage to the
interests of science and religion. As
the season for the payment Of interest
on your bonds has arrived, it is i'm
portat that it should be paid, as it
constitutes tho chief means of support
for its Professors; and therefore |
take leave to ask Your attention to
this matter. In place of the lament.
ed Dr.. Mendcnhall, the late Treasurer
of the Convention, to which body your
bonds were given for the Institution, ]
take leave to inIo,m you that Mr..
Thos. B. Roberts, a merchant of dis
tinction in Grcenville, S. c., has been
unanimously elected To that impor-
tant office; and request that you will
be pleased to remit to him, or to any
agent or agents that he may appoint,
the interest which may be due respec.
lively on your bonds. There is great
necessity, assure you, for despatch in
this matter, with all readiness.
take leave. also, to say t" those
who have given their bonds for Fur
man University, that Mr.. Roberts is
also the Treasurer of that body, and
to request that they will remit to him
or pay to any authorized agents, the
instalnents that are de on Their
bonds, as the progress of the build
| ings at the seat Of the University is
suffering delay for the want oi
funds. The second iustalment on
their bonds is now due, and it is
hoped that those who have not been
hindered b.y the late distressing fresh.
cts, will be pleased to forward il
us soon as practicable.

TIE WAGES OF LABoR.-Ihe cxor-
btant prices demanded this season by
owners of slaves throughout the State
for we perceive by our exchanges
these demands arc by no means CON
fined to this city-are well calculated
to induce prudent men TO pause and re-
fleet before entering upon new or
doubtful enterprises. Common field
laborcrs have commanded $3.50, and
experienced factory hands 5000 and
upwards, per year. The hire Of all
other descriptions Of labor has likewise
advanced, and prices may be said To
he fully 80 per cent. all around higher
than they were last year. Now, the
question becomes an important one
Is there likely to occur a correspond
ing increase in the profits of the far
ner, the manufacture, and the mcchan-
ic to warrant this increased price g.
We fear not.
Some OF our tobacco manufactures
have long ago expressed the opinion
that slave was dcarer than free labor.
If this has been true in former years.
