that interested class who refuse to acknowledge the
fact is exceedingly small. Many who had pinned
their faith to the Buchanan administration, and

baseless fabric, and that charity Of thought or ex

than before and not because no attempt TO accom-

have been expended in doing nothing but achieving

A Fight with Rumble Bees.

from the Wheeling 1nelligencer, August 23.1
a merchant doing business on Main street found
q "bumble bees nest" in store box He carefully
corked up the holes where the bees made their exit
and entrance, and set the box out in back yard
The next day an old apple peddler came along and
wanted to buy boz, and the merchant thinking to
have little fun sent him out in the back yard with
Ratchet to open the box to which we have alluded.
The yard is surrounded with high fence, SO that
there is no way Of getting out except through
the store. After the peddler passed through the
door into the yard, the merchant turned the key,
and in company with others, whom he had ad-
vised Of the trick, went up stairs to witness the
scene. The pounding on the box Of course soon
stirred up the bees, and when the lid was raised
about quart Of the varmnts pounced upon the
old fellow. he dropped his Ratchet, and broke for
the door, but finding that locked he ran around in
STOPPING posture, hugging the fence as closely as
possible, until his eye fell upon large jamestown
weed. This he pulled up by the roots and continued
to run, sapping at the bees in the most earnest en-
ergetic, and at the same time, the most ludcrous
manner imaginable. Becoming little heated by the
active exercise, he hastily pulled off his coat, and
with glazing eyes and expanded muscle he went into
the insects most vigorously and in short time the
yard was strewn with the carcasses of his enemies
He had worn the jamestown bush completely
away and his body was literally green from its fire.
quent contact with the well welded weed. Upon
being admitted into the store he told the story of
his recent triumph with many fourishes being per
fectly ignorant of the cruel trick that had been
played upon him.

TALK ON CHANGE.

Carondelet street and environs or rather the hab
tues thereof were in toerabe good humor yesterday
Nor was there any backwardness on Tchoupitoulas
Poydras and New Levee Streets These localities,
the residents on them, appear to be satisfied at the
free communication with the West, as confirmed by
the daily arrival of steamboats, with full cargoes Of
the valued and varied productions Of the teeming
West. As it appears -four, corn, pork and bacon
will not be wanted for shipment to transatlantic
friends for the present. unless at very great reduction
from present prices growers and producers will have
to look for home market to be relieved Of the large
surplus which will in all probability accumulate at
most every depot or place Of note.
Cotton is coming in freely. The large quantity of
1887 bales of which all was of this years growth
excepting seven bales, was brought in on Monday on
one boat-the Charmer This is the largest load ever
brought into this port in the month of August It
augurs very well, and indicates that the season is
from ten to fifteen days more forward than last year
This season bears somewhat comparison with 1856.
The total receipts of the new crop this season, up
to last evening were S945 bales apanst 4552 bales
