Monetary and Commercial.

In Third.street, on Saturday, there was little
change from the previous day; Monetary matters be-
ing less active than usual at the close of the week
Still, the applications for loans were numerous u
the Discount houses and not a few borrowers were
seen In the street. The bankers reported enlarged
financial facilities Saturday, arising from an aug.
mented supply of Currency which was sent here for
Exchange.
Eastern Exchange was rather steady at VI buying

not willing to give more than par for undoubted

A Big Aavertisenn emit.

We invite the attention Of the reader to
the advertisement of MILTON ToorLE in
this paper. This advertisement is not
gotten up for buncumbe-Mr. ToorLE's
establishment is one Of the most extensive
on the Missouri river, and the extent and
TaIiety OF the stock it contains gives i,
prominence, not only as q retail, but
Wholesale house. Mr.. T. by long expe
rlence in business appreciates the benefits
which flow from liberal and iudicious
system Of advertising, and consequently
in every city and village in which be is
engaged in business-and there are Gig hit
the prominent feature in the local news,
paper is the advertisement of MILTON
ToorLE. He advertises largely, because
it pays; and is prospecting prodigiously, IS
every man should who patronzes the prin
ter. Read his advertisement, and when
You come to town be sure and call a,
Tories.
The establishment in this city is under
the immediate control Of Mr.. w. G. MAUI,
assisted by that good egg, Colonel W. F.
faulkner, both accomplished and efficient
business men, and agreeable and popular
gentlemen. Our readers will find it both
pleasant and profitable to trade at the
above establishment.

The ONl aha,

This universally favorite steamer arriv-
ed at our Levee on Monday evening last,
with upwards Of one hundred tons of
freight for Sioux City merchants prnci.
pally for MILTON ToorLI and L. D. PAR
MER. The Omaha in addition to being
under the control of as efficient and &C
commodatipg officers as can be found on
any boat, is extremely fortunate, and in.
varisbly delivers her freight promptly and
in good order; and for speed has few, if
any, equals on the river. The charge for
freigh. this trip was IS cents per 100 lbs,
which we believe is the lowest figure tor
which goods have ever been carried from
St. Louis to Sioux City. This is certainly
reasonable, and if continued our citizens
should reap the advantages in tie reduc,
ton of the prices Of merchandise. The
Omaha will return to Sioux City immedi.
ately, as she has already engaged o suffi.
cient amount of freight to justify the trip
She will make two or three trips to this
city before navigation closes.

Man Robbed by Indians.

We learn from Mr.. HENRY JENKINS, of
Emmett couhty, that a man named OLIVER
NJ. BARKER, residing in the vicinity of
Mead's Settlement on the Little Sioux
river, while out hunting on the Big Prai-
RE south Of Spirit Lake, on Thursday of
last week, was robbed by party of six
Indians calling themselves Yanctons.-
They relieved him Of all his provisions,
cooking and camping utensils, and pock-
ct book containing Sll,45 in money, and
notes amounting to over three hundred
dollars. They also stole all the gun caps
in his possession, and after removing those
upon his gun, returned it to him satisfied
that it would no shoot" A detachment,
of soldiers were sent to the scene of the
robbery from Spirit Lake, but they had
made no discoveries when our informant
left.

A Good thing In the story Line.

SOme years ago Cincinnati paper re-
ceived and printed the first chapter of
what appeared to be = thrilling romance,
in the expectation Of being provided with
the concluding portions rs nigh. be need
ed. The chapter was very ingcniously
written, and concluded by leaving the
principal character suspended by the pam
falcons from the limb of tree over
perpendicular precipice. 1t attracted the
attention of the press, and inquiries be-
gan to be made concerning the continual
ton Of tie fate of the hero. Day after
day the victimized publishers looked for
the remaining chapters, but in vain They
never came to hand. Finding that they
bad been sold, end wishing to put stop
to the jokes their contemporaries were
cracking at their expense, they briefly
concluded the story thus:
CHAPTER n-CoNCLUsIoN.
After hanging to the treacherous tree
for four weeks, his pantaloons gave way,
and Charles Melville rolled headlong over
the yawning precipice.
He fell distance of FIVE miles, and
came down with the snail of his back
across STAKE and rider fence, which so
Jared him that be was compelled to trav.
ell in Italy for his health, where he is At
present residing. He is engaged in the
butchering business, and is the father Of
large family of children.

The Paris correspondent of the N. Y.
Times, says
The Zouaves, especially since the affair
Of Palestro, have become the lions of the
day in Italy. Their teats in the field and
even their words are the constant subject
of conversation. During the fight at Pal,
estro, certain detached body of Zouaves
which had to pass through several deep
and muddy canals in their impetuous
charge on the enemy's artillery, found
their heetness more impeded by the
weight of their immense trousers soaked
with water and mud, than by the balls of
the enemys guns.
To disembarrass themselves Of this was
but the work Of moment, and thus the
Zouaves appeared on the field with flag
at half mast, which might have been talk
en- by the Austrians as demand for quar-
ters, but their actions in no manner cor
responded with the color of their flag, and
the grape and canister continued to NOW
down their ranks until they reached and
bayonetted the arlillerymen on their guns
1t was not till then that their sergeant be

A Great Country,

The Rev. Bishop Pierce, of the NJ. Z.
Church, South, gives the following picture
of the state of Texas:
Texas is curious country-a PARADOX
Everything is in the superlative. or con.
Trajectory, or marvellous. 1t is the richest
and the poorest, has the best land and the
meanest water : is the the hardest country
to live in, and has the most to live on :
days are the hottest and the nights the
coolest; here are the most rivers. and the
least water; the best roads, aud the slow.
est travel; the finest building material.
and the least use made of it there are
more clouds and less rain more plains,
and less timber more ropes to tie horses,
and yet more strays poor country for
farming, and yet the most productive the
least work and the larges, yield the hor-
ses are small, and the cattle are big the
frogs have horns. and tie rabbits have
ears like mules the people are intelligent
without general ducation-inventive with
out being tricky-retined without manner.
ism-rich without money - hospi.able
without household, generous and brave.
In fine, here is An empire in extent, and
resources, but in the slowest process of
evolution, and yet destined to population,
wealth and power.

Prospect OF Crops In Iowa.

After . , Of two months, travelling in
that tidIs Eve or six thousand miles, thro'.
out the Northern States. and south to
Washington City, We are decidedly Of opin
ion that the prospects of abundance Of
everything that farmers can raise, except
ing fruit, are far better in Iowa than in
any other State. Corn, oats, wheat, po-
tatoes, rye, barley, and everything our soil
produces, are as good as the most greedy
could desire. In the midst of hard times
in Iowa, we shall not starve if our farmers
gather only small part Of their abundant
crops. While in many parts of the east,
among the lower and middle classes in
wealth, money is a. scarce as it is here,
the frosts Of last month have nearly ruin
ed everything that it was possible to de-
stroy, and even the people look frost bitten.
Iowa is perfect garden. 1t will revive
any mans spirits, though he may at this
time not have quarter in his pocket, to
60 along the shore of any of the numerous
rivers in our State, at this time. Even
the worst croakcrs, those who quake at
the sight of their own shadows, look good
natured. We car say, for the encourage
ment Of all concerned, that no man will
take the journey that we have just finish.
ed, and not come home perfectly satisfied,
unless be is determined not to be pleased.
We have returned to Iowa to remain here.
We expect to experience hard ,imes-we
know that the only remedy is patience and
practical economy. Let every citizen of
our county and State be satisfied. The
truth is, money was so plenty here two
years since, that we all learned extrava-
gance. We feel the change much more
on account of former prosperity. Let us
all be satisfied, and do our best, and Prov
idence will faithfully do the balance.-E.

Crops In n ebraska.

We learn from the News of Saturday
that the crops in Nebraska never looked
better than they do this season. There
will in all probability be an immense sur.
plus of corn. There is very large
breadth Of surface planted, from third to
one-balf more than in any previous year,
and there is every indication of an unusual
crop, an abundant harvest. The wealth
er has been very favorable during the
whole season for the growth and maturi-
ty Of all kinds Of crops, especially corn.
The surplus of all kinds Of vegetables
and grains, except wheat, will be very
large in Nebraska this coming fall. The
farmers have every reason to be grateful
for the prosperity of their grain and the
almost certain success Of their labors. 81
