STREET ORGAMsTs.-Holmes in the "Nuslt
Grinder" says:
"You think they are crusaders, sent
From some internal cline,
To pluck the eyes Of sentiment.
Aud dock the tail of Rhyme;
To crack the voice of Melody,
And break the legs of Time"

Tradition gives very different motives from
those OF business Tor his two sojuurns in the latter
city, He found there an early friend and school
mate, Beverly Robinson, son OF John RCb nson,
Speaker of the Virginia House of Burgesses.-
He was living happily and prosperously with
Young and wealthy bride, having married one OF
ihe neices and heiresses Of Mr. Adolphus Philipse
rich Indholder, W hvse manor-h house is still to be
seen on The banks of the Hudson.d Al the house
of MIR. Beverly Robinson, where w Washington was
an honoured guest, he met Miss Mary Phipse,
sister aud CO heiress of Mrs. Robinson, young
| .dy whose personal attractions are said to have
rivaIled her reputed wealth.
We have already given an instance Of Wash
ington's early sensibility to female charms. A
life. however OF constant activity and care.passed
for the most part in the wilderness and on the
frontier, far from female soclety-and left little
moud or leisure for the indulgence of the tender
sentiment; but made him more sensible in the
present bre interval Of gay and social life, Ito the
attractions of an elegant woman, brought up in
the puite circle of New York.
That he was an open admirer Of Miss PhilipSe
is historical fact that he sought her hand, but
was refused is traditional and not very probable.
HIS military rank, his early laurels and sdIstin-
puished presence were all calculated 10 find favor
| In female e, es but his sojourn in New York was
briet; he may have been dlffident in urging his
suit with lady accustomed to the homage Of 50
clety and surrounded by admirers. The must
probable version of the story is that he was called
away by his public duties before he had made
sufficient approaches in his siege of the lady IS
heart to warrant summons to surrender.

Washino.on was now ordered BY Sir John St
Clair. the guartermaster general of the forces un
der General Furbes, to repair to Williamsburg
and lay the state of the case before the council.

FRIDAY, March 80 8 M.
The stock market was very much unsettled at tho
first board to-day. The leading fancy stocks were
In shout the usual demand. The salss were on the
usual terms, pretty equally divided between buyers
and sellers option. The most prominent railroad
stocks advanced State stocks were rather dull and
depressed to-day. At the first board Missouri 6s sd

proving. The purchases lately ON foreign account
have been to some extent, and the market has been
very firm In consequence. Cumberland Coal has
been heavy for some days past. and looks like set

does not amount to mach just now. Reading Rail-
road is moving upward again. 1t il, beyond all

again command such prices have heretofore ruled.
The day for extravsgsnt dividends has passed, and
when brought down to their actual net earnings,
the per cent on capital viii be small.
At the second board the market was steady, and
nothing more. Railroad bones were In better de-
Dand, at better prices Erie, 1875, advanced per
cent Illinois Central, l. Nicaragua had an up ward
tendency. Pennsylvania Coal fell OIL per cent.
The steamship Asia, ct Halifax from Liverpool,
brings seven days later intelligence from Europe.
The political accounts do not amount to much. No
gotiations were in progress at Vienna, but nothing
definite had transpired. Opinions were pretty
equally balanced relative to the ultimate result Of
the conference. The commercial and financial sd-
vices are, on the whole, more favorable. Bread
stuffs were improving, both In prices and demand.
Cotton was active, but prices were not sustained.
large portion Of the demand was from consumers.
The decline In quotations amounted to about one
eighth Of penny per pound. Money matters were
decidedly easier, and the prospect Of reduction In
the rate Of interest was daily becoming stronger
