SENsITIvENEss OF MoNEY.-It is won
derful to see the effect of trivial circum-
stances upon the New York money mar
ket. Last year the great rise in the Wis
consin river occurred in May, and caused
some delay in the trains Of the M. & MR..
R., and the stock went down at once
The food occurred this year in June, and
although no serious delay or damage was
done, the stock of that road fell from about
SOC to lec. A letter published in the
Tribune, from President CATLrN, stating
that people had been more scared than
hurt, and that there was not much of a
flood after all the stock up p cents in one
day Mil. Wisconsin.

The CoMPosITIoNM OF MILK AT VARI-
GUS TINES OF The DAY.-Professor Bod
eker has analy zed the milk of a healthy
cow at various times Of the day, with a
view of determining the changes in the
relative amount of lis constituents. He
fonnd the solids of evening milk Us per
cent. exceeding those of the mornings
milk 90 per cent. while the water of the
water contained in the fluid was was d.
minished from SO to So per cent. The
fatty matthrs gradually increase as the
day progresses. In the morning they
amount to 2.l7 per cent, at noon 263
per cent, and in the evening $40 per
cent. This fact is important in a practical
point of view; for while sixteen ounces of
mornings milk will yield nearly half an
ounce Of butter, about double this quaint
ty can be obtained from the evenings
milk.

Wheat Market-0ats-Corn

The market reports of last week were
quite fattering, being the first drop Of
comfort for those who have held on SO
long for higher prices. Wheat is lower
this week; no correct opinion can be given,
as to whether wheat will rise or remain al
"A stand-all depending upon the comm:
crop. There may be serious accidents to
the crop. Sell at market prices, would
still be our advice.
Oats and Corn are in fair demand, but
at low figures. Prices begin to be steady
which is a good sign. We think we
speak truly in saying that wheat, oats and
corn promise well.

RENUNERAr1vR MYsTERY.-The Gin
cinnati Enquirer gives an account Of a
merchant Of that city, who went east, to
settle his accounts, and received his bal
ance in gold, some 1000, on which he
put into his trunk. On his way home he
took Washington in his route, and put up
at hotel, leaving his trunk in his room.
Here he fell in with capitol lot Of fellows,
got on spree which lasted about a fort
night, and when he came to sober off,
found that his trunk and his gold were
missing. Returning home sad and wiser
man, he put up at hotel in Cincinnati,
and was presented with bill from the
Express Company for charges on an old
trunk for $l9. which he at first refused to
pay, but on examining the trunk, he found
not only his wardrobe, but his money all
right. He is unable to arrive at any salts
factory solution of the mystery.

ISLANDER.

A lady, doubtless right minded, sends
us the following for publication; all who
read it will be reminded of the method
and manner resorted to by erring man for
injuriug female character A word, often
low insinuation, scarcely intended for
such effect, may injure the fsirest reputa-
ton, particularly of females. Young men,
however light or reckless in conduct, new
er permit your tongues to utter word or
insinuation against woman kind:
"Give her another push; nothing but a
woman; one more bite of SANDER and
she's done for-only one more blow and
perhaps the crushed and bleeding heart
may break. What matter-who author
lied her to possess feelings; do not ask if
"They Say" lies, but add to the lie by
another stroke. If your victim writhes
beneath the torture, so much the better,
for you obey the Golden hule: ado unto
Others as you would have them do to you"
No business to be woman; heaven help
her; though her heart be broken, she
must still wear the mock ing smile. God
only knows the heart sobs and sees the
scalding tears flowing down the cheeks of
injured woman. Let those who are with
out sin cast the first stone.

MAREErs.-We hope for the benefit of
our country readers, that dealers in pro-
duce, particularly at the river and railroad
towns, will furnish us weekly with the pri-
ces they are paying for produce; see that
the reports are correct, that nobody may be
misled. No charge for publishing mar
kets, accidents, deaths, marriages and 9th
er matters in which all are interested. -
We offer our paper as central means of
free communication for all classes, only ex-
cepting that we charge for advertisements;
an advertisement is communication
signed by the advertiser, in which he
makes known his business for his own par
ticular profit; for such we charge, but any
item of general interest, not favoring any
particular person, can be published in tn
Herald free.

COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENT

ST.. CLAIR FLATS APPROPRIATION
will be remembered that Senator Chan
dler, Selling favorable opportunity, caus-
ed an amendment to be inserted in the
miscellaneous appropriation bill, appropri-
ating $4,000 for completing the improve

intimation that in subsequent proceedings
that the items were stricken out, and we
are therefore bound to believe that it is
now law. The amount, added to the
former unexpended appropriation, S
enough to complete this great work. All

MADISON CREDIT.

Madison city orders are only worth so
cents on the dollar. fever rcdemeed they
will be redeemed at dollar for dollar, leav-
inc fine margin for spectators. No city
in the state. unless it be Milwaukee, has
been so cruelty governed. The rate of tax
on property in Madison is about half what
property rents for; by adding 5 per cen
for the money in buildings and tride
for insurance, it will be found to exceed the
rent considerably, so that the less property
a man owns in Madison the richer he is
the more property the poorer. The e
lection of such men as Van Slyke and
Smith with their accomplices to the May
orship and Courei of Madison, accounts
for this state of things. Van Slyke and
Smith are clever fellows, good fellows and
popular therefore, but their conduct in Of
flee, if allowed to run farther, will drive the
Capitol away and the vast piles of brick
and mortar will return to earth. Milwau-
kee is trying to reform, with the view of
securing the Capita, hut the people there
are worse than at Madison. AS general
thing, only the lowest psnderer TO the
worst masses can be elected, and such
are invariably thieves at heart and treach-
erous IN practice. If the Capitol is ever
removed it will not go to Milwaukee, where
it would fare worse.
