M'. Editor Everybody in New York, men
and women and children, old and young, is hard at
work talking and doing politics in the most tre.
mendous quantities.
The merchants especially the drygoods men, are
suffering from the very worst scare yoa ever heard
Of. ALI down town there is literally no business
doing. In Wall street, the stock-broke lounge

hands III their pockets. They say that they have
ghtened themselves as much as they can without
being slaughtered, and that now Uncle SauWsS4f!

Ii heard, the other day, curious thing about the
effect Of tho present agitation in the New York
i. trade. You have probably noticed in Broadway,
4 nearly opposite the ST. Nicholas Hotel, a shoE
where they sell patent metallic eofinsthe sort o.
:. thing that receives the remains of the dear de
parted after the manner of the hermeteaiy sealed
e lobsters warranted to keep in any climate. Well
these agreeable articles Of household furniture art
a not used hereahouts. They made expressly fol
the Southern markell and the business has been 81
i. extensive that more than hundred hands wer'
ID employed in it. The proprietor Of the coffin fac
tory is Democrat, but never interfared in any wa.
8 with the political convictions of his employees. Eli
.n foreman, Republican, succeeded in converting al
at. anFT Tyhi
the head Of the concern was aware. Within th
last month or so the Southern orders for the meta
lie burial cases have suddenly ceased and the bus
% mess Isl therefore, going to the dogs. In view
this distressing state Of things, the proprietor r
forms his hands that he does not intend to tell theI
nd how they shall vote bnt he wishes to direct the
p- / attention to the circumstance that If Lincoln
ts elected he will have work for them, whic
ny sets them to thinking This Is whatI call the arga
X iaeft.an dd bread-aad butter, and it is bein
7l very extensively used in this village about thes
zee times.
de Another curious thing about this campaign Is Ii
lon row among the hotelkeepers about GoTerno
@ Morgan and Jim 4 Mitchell Of Congress Hal
i, Albany. James is very pleasant fellow, whs
NJ the country editors call " perfect gentleman,
% and knows how to keep hotel. When the Prime
cen of Wales was in Albany, he slept at Congress Ha
and ana tie next day dined with the Governor, wi
's made his fortune in the grocery business Mitche

fos Next to politics we have been doing good do
Of billiards.
Berger, the French player, who has been
me hibting himself at Phelans during the last 70
slsn night has been the lion Of the day among the

great deal more than appears upon tho surias
