Of Tuegday,s New Orleans flnancial aNairs


Wednesdays ReGyuRs remarks; web r-v.
The market this morning manifested a
continuance of the same improved tone that
has been apparent for some days past. Cot
ton was in active demand, with large sales
at full prices. The feeling is one Of marked
confidence in the article, despite the some
what uncertain character of the future. This
extensive movement imparts more cheerful
ness in financial quarters, and although,
thus far, the transactions in the outside
Money market are insignificant in the ex-
treme, it is felt that any sustained action in
the same direction must shortly be followed
by partial return TO customary negotiations.
Every body is delighted and surprised at the
quiet manner in which they receive the &c
counts of our troubles on the other side.
Foreign Exchange was again stiffer this
morning. There was not much Sterling offer
ing, and Clear Bills went off readily at 1000
1907, with some little at l01. We quote the
general run from 981S@l00%. There were
several transactions in Bill-of Lading Drafts
on Spinners at 96097, the range extending
from 95@97%. Francs were also better.
We notice several sales at all the intermedi-
ate fractions between 5EslH and 5f70, and
a favorite name brought 5f62%. This places
the extremes from 5f95@5f62%. There
VW.rrH no transactions in Sixty. day Bills on
New York. Sight showed disposition to
stiffen, but left off with large sales of A at
1]z discount. Short Sight 1&@lA discount.
Boston BooT AND SHOE MARKET-FFiddy
December 2l.-The market is without new
feature of interest. The manufacturers who
are usually busy at this season, preparing
goods for the spring trade, have as yet
scarcely moved in that direction, and prob
ably will make up for the next sale only such
quantities as they can readily dispose of In
the mean time the journeyman are idle,
| wholly or in part, and wages are as low, or
lower than at any period since 1857. Prices
of stock continue to rule in favor of the
buyer, and from present appearances goods
can be made up next spring at very reason-
able rates. Payments from the South and
West are without improvement. Some of
cur largest houses, whose agents are in the
Western States making collections, are de-
| posting all the money received to their
credit in the Banks, until such time as they
can obtain Boston Exchange, which, accord
| ing to the latest Chicago advices, is at 1215
per cent, and not to be had in any quantity
at that figure. Among the clearances for the
week we notice 245 cases for Melbourne, per
ship Nubid.
The total shipments of Boots and Shoes by
rail and sea, for the week, have been 1851
cases. Corresponding week last year 2, ,397
| cases.

PopuIur Errors Respecting HydrOpho bia

Popular Errors Respecting HydfOph o bi9
Among the popular errors which have long
prevailed relative to this appalling malady,
one, perhaps, of the most absurd and un-
founded, is the belief that if person be Bit
ten by dog which, though not mad when
he Inflicted the wound, becomes so after
ward, the person bitten will inevitably SYM
pathize with his canine foe, and take the
disease at the same time. Hence, it is not
uncommon for healthy dogs to be killed,
during the hot season, in the hope of arrest
ing fatal consequences to the persons whom
they may have bitten. Now, it is idle to
imagine that such procedure can be of any
imaginable use. Two things are well. estab-
hshed relative TO canine madness: First,
that of persons bitten by rabid animals, fif-
teen of every sixteen suffer no evil conse-
qUences whatever. This is stated upon the
authority Of DR.. Willard Parker and others.
Secondly, that, although in man the disease
may in very rare cases arise spontaneously,
il can never be received from the bite of an
animal except the animal be infected at the
time of inflicting the injury. Strangely
enough, this wayward, inscrutable malady
often spares the feeble and attacks the more
vigorous.
In this city, few years ago, a whole
family, consisting of nine persons, were Bit
ten by a favorite poodle. No evil conse-
quences resulted till four or FIVE months
afterward, when the father, a strong, healthy
man, was seized with rabid symptoms which
in four days proved fatal. The children,
some of them quite young, and their mother,
who was not very robust, suffered no more
inconvenience than from an ordinary wound.
To the fact that out of sixteen persons bitten
by rabid dog, cat, wolf or fox, only one, on
an average, is attacked by hydrophobia, is
doubtless attributable the fame of those noto-
rious nOstrums which are sold as protectives
against bydrophobia.
Most of these much vaunted specifics are
as Valueless as the remedy purchased at
great expense some years ago by the Legisa-
ture of this State, which consisted ofa part of
a dogs jaw-bone, of the false tongue of a
colt, and of the acetate of copper prepared
from a coin of George III Of England. Not
witbstabding all the researches and investi-
cations hitherto made, no reliable remedy
exists at present for the disease. 1t has
never been cured, we believe, when once de-
Veloped. The best preventive measures
known to medical science at present are, to
cut out the parts bordering the bite, TO pro.
mote bleeding by suction and other means
and to eauterze the wound freely. What il
further wanted, is some powerful agent
which shall control and render inert in al
cases that poison which the els coHssrUatria
nature cOunteracis, neutralizes, and expelsby
her own unaided energies, in by far the
greatest number nf cases.

Nature and Individualiiy-TheirC Character
.. and Laws.


a and Laws.
Nature, says Ralph Waldo Emerson, makes
fifty poor melons for one that is good, and
shakes down tree full of gnarled, wormy,
ipe crabs, before you can find dozen
dessert apples and she scatters nations Of
naked Indians, and nations Ofclothed Chris
tians, with two or three good heads among
them. Nature works very hard, and only
hits the white once in a million throws. In
mankind, she is contented if she yields one
master in a century. The more difficulty
there is in creating good men, the more they
are used when they come. l once counted
in little. neighborhood, and found that
every able bodied man had, say from twelve
to fifteen persons dependent on him for
material aid--to whom he is to be, for spoon
and Jug, for backer and sponsor, for nursery
and hospital, and many functions besides: nor
does il seem to make much difference
whether he is bachelor or patriarch if he do
not violently decline the duties that fall to
him, this amount of helpfulness will in one
Way or another be brought home to him.
This is the tax which his abilities pay.
The good men are employed for privsie
centers of use, and for larger influence. All
revelations, whether of mechanical, intellec-
tual or moral science, are made not to COM
munities, but to single persons. All the
marked events of our day, all the cities, all
the colonizations, may be traced back to
their origin in a private brain. All the
feats which make our civility were the
thoughts of few good heads.
Meantime, this spawning productivity is
not noxious or needless. You would say,
this rabble of nations might be spared. But
no; they are all counted and depended on.
Fate keeps every thing alive so long as the
smallest thread of public necessity holds il
on to the tree. The coxcomb and bully and
thief class are allowed as proetaries, every
one of their vices being the excess OIL
acidty ofa virtue.
The mass are animal, in pupilage, and neal
chimpanzee. But the units, whereof this
mass is composed, are neuters, every one OF
which may he grown TO a queen-bee. The
rule is, we are used as brute atoms, until we
think: then, we use all the rest. Nature
turns all malfaisance to good. Nature pro-
vides for real needs. No sane man at last
distrusts himself His existence is perfect
answer to all sentimental cavils. If he is,
he is wanted, and has the precise properties
that are required. That we are here is
proof we ought to be here. We have as good
right, and the same sort ofright to be here,
as Cape Cod or Sandy Hook have to be
there.

The Riet ef Diaerent PeopIe.

Even the experienced trainers of the prize
ring can not decide what is the best food.
They have prejudice in favor of mutton
chops and undOne beefstakes, but it is by no
means sure that this is the best. The Roman
soldiers - who were all trained athletes,
marching under weight of armor and lug
gage that few men in our day could carry
lived on coarse, brown wheat or barley bread,
which they dipped in sour wine.
In our own day, the Spanish peasant is
among the strongest and most agile men in
the world. He will work all day in a cop
per mine or at the olive press, or the wine
press, and then dance half the night TO the
music of a guitar. He lives on piece of
black bread, an onion, and perhaps half a
watermelon. You may see him dipping his
bread into horn of olive oil, and then into
some vinegar, made hot with pepper and
garlic, snd he is happy. Some times he gets
draught of harsh sour wine, but not strong.
All the strong wine is sent to England.
The Smyrna porter walks off with load Of
300 weight. His only food, day after day, is a
handful of dates, few figs, bunch OF
grapes, some olives. He eats no hesh His
whole food does not cost him penny a day.
The Coolie, living on his rice can outwork
the negro, fed on bacon. The Arab, living
on rice and dates, conquered half the world.
We eat too much. Many people eat break
fast, lunch, dinner, tea, supper-hve meals a
day, and three of them hearty ones. Our
sanitary Teformers have not looked much 20
the diet question. The stomach is the cen
ter and citadel Of organic life. II is worth Z
little consideration, as well as the lungs and
skin, which depend upon it,

We love our homes, we love our town,
And it shall our ambition crown,
And every hope and wish elate,
TO see them growing good and great.
improvement everywhere we see,
The fruits of honest industry;
The hand of taste exerts it's skill
To make our town more pleasant still
And happy faces on the street,
Both grace and beauty, we can meet.
And spared the city's jostling crowd,
We're of our town and ladies proud
Yes, here our family is small
And we can know and love them all
Then let us all go hand in hand
And truly feel and understand
That every citizen should aim
To bear worthy part and name.
Poor Old John Brown has run his race,
Cut short by Sourthern views,
And Southern cotton, Southern hands
Prepared the fatal moose!

Too much III a good cause,
Then poor Old John was criminal
And just Virginia's laws!
But whether this was so or not
Is not for us to say,
The reckonings of the future world
To each will justice pay!
We haze the confidence, at least,
In Browns plain honesty
To think he aimed at human rights,
To set The captives free!
He did not hunt for blood or wrong,
His 6orrosocd wisdom failed,
And blood the consequence, and then
Twas Southern ire prevailed!
He was defeated, not his cause,
Was killed but he to-day
Speaks through our land in thunder tones
Not soon to die away!
His influence lives and he is heard
BY all, the bond and free,
And ever Will be felt and heard
Til none in bonds there be!
