Financial Aaairs.

MNmMMLN.N r.
Monetary matters during The week ending
last evening underwent very little chAnger.
from the previous week, though Financial
business was rather more inactive, in conse-
udence Of the warlike complexion Of the po
litical news. Money was in very fair demand,
bnt the market remained easy for undoubted
names at lo@l2 per cent, in the regular
puarters, With few operations in outside cir
cles. -.. J-urH, f.s ri.r.a.- f.., .-,
Z The supply Of Currency was about the
same last evening as at the beginning Of the
week, though some Bankers had a little
more, and others little less, than at that
time. af-.. ..aII q, .srs.sf .
Eastern Exchange continued very firm,
and rather scarce, at 2S@4Oc. buying, and Il
premium selling; some dealers giving 421S
@45c. on Philadelphis and New York.
New Orleans Exchange was very heavy
during the week, and the selling rate nearly
nominal; hardly any one caring to use
Southern funds 10 any extent al this season.
Gold was quiet and rather unsteady at 2s
on premium, but was in more demand yes
terday than for any previous day Of the
week at the latter rate.

little disposition to buy Illinois or Wisconsin

The City Horse Market, for the week end
ing last evening was rather more active
than it was the week previous, some 4sO
head being sold, at about the average price
of the previous week say $75 to 800.
There was, and is still, firm inquiry for
large and heavy Horses, but few were, or
are, in the market. There were fewer
buyers here from the South than was ex-
pected and, on the whole, the trade was
not so brisk as was antieipated-th present
political troubles have tendency to keep
buyers from the slave States at home.

The French Empress Religious evotee.
Her Mind n Prey In MnrhIh AIeln nchnIH.


A Paris correspondent has this gossip
about the fair Eugene, who, it seems, is rap
idly losing her beauty as we'll as her health:
The Empress rises early and maintains
strict fast until the termination of the first
mass, which is celebrated at nine o'clock.
Her Majesty then makes slight repast Of
bread and milk, and attends the ceremonious
religious exercises of the morning. She then
takes her place at the breakfast table, in the
society of the Emperor, but partakes of moth
ing save little fruit and such simple fare as
is not forbidden by the tenents of the Church,
though special indulgences are allowed all
persons in delicate health, or those who
choose to pay for the privilege of eating an
imal food during the ascetic season now
drawing 70 a close. ....
At dinner, the same careful abstention is
observed, though the fair devotee is sur
rounded by the many tempting delicacies
with which the Imperial board is always
laden, and to which the Emperor, less scru-
pulous in his ideas of the privations epjoined
by religion, does fall justice, as do also the
household, with the exception of Father
Lavigerie, who sits opposite the Empress,
and indicates to her, by an imperceptible
nod, what dishes may be eaten without dan
ger of future perditiOn.
The Empress retains her Spanish tastes,
and is fond Of highly seasoned dishes; pro-
vided none of the forbidden fat or flesh enter
into their composition. Among her fayorites
are different kinds of fish, strongly spieed,
and eggs, plentifully sprinkled with red
pepper. This strange regimen, which can
hardly be called nourishing, coupled with
the persistent sadness Of Her Majesty since
the death Of her beloved sister, the Duchess
| Of Alba, has had telling effect upon q natur-
ally delicate physique, and the Empress has
| grown so thin and pale as to excite very Sc
rious apprehensions.
Every effort is made to furnish relaxation
to mind upon which settled melancholy
seems to have fastened itself, but the EN-
peror finds his attempts TO displace her IN
varying apathy frustrated at all points. Az

Grange, the Winter residence Of the Court 4

The Condition of Women In Past Aaes and
the Present. -.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the poet, OBJ
serves: .tt
The nineteenth century, among other IN
ventions and discoveries, has discovered
Woman! 1t was not enough that she was
placed in the Garden of Eden for us. We
were blind for many thousand years. When
the world was young we made her fetch our
wood and cook our food and play the mem
ial. In our days of chivalry we taught her
to be pretty Amazon, to dress our wounds,
TO bind her scarf about our helmet to receive
fantastic and insincere alteration. Then,
as if there were never to be an end to our
nonsense, we fancied that she was an Area
dian shepherdess, or lovely wood-nymph
with confused ideas of virtue. Then was the
sickly, sentimental, pastoral age in full blast.
Then did she tap us on the cheek with her
fan, and smirk and smile, and paint and
powder, and wear her hair four stories high.
That was the courtly age. But by and by,
she wearied of these follies. We began to
treat her with more sense; then little by
little she began to assert heTself the better
we treated her the more she asserted, until
at last we cried out, like FraRkenstein,
"What monster is this we have created n
But it was not monster-it was only q
scomdn Great in her weakness, noble in
her charity, beautiful in her patience. We
have found her out She was never so
recognized as now we have discovered that
she has brain as well as heart; that she can
write verses like Mrs. Browning, paint
pictures like Rosa Bonheur, and still be all
that is gentle and loveable like Florence
Nightingale. sE

H
Some time since, when Jackson county,
Arkansas, was In It's infancy, and the natives
were governed BY laws by them enacted at
will, there was q character among them
known as Fiddling Joe. This man Joe was
a character not at all known among the
"cane bitefs" as being devoid Of fear, par
tieulafl1 upon the subject OF future punist-
m.sns being the offspring Of rough though
The Methodist Church, with It's usual care
for those who are unable or unwilling TO
employ ministers or purchase Bibles for the
dissemination of Christian truths among
/ them, sent q missionary TO furnish the in-
hsbitsnts with the Bibles and preach the
Gospel for their benefit.
10 On bright Sabbath morning, in the
pleasant month Of May, the minister, in
passing from one appointment to another,
came upon the aforesaid Joe, sitting astride
log, playing favorite tune Of "Soap Suds
Over the Fence, to his entire satisfaction
and that of ''0ld Ring" who wagged his
tail in appreciation OF his masters endeav-
ors. The minister approached and quietly
addressed the fiddler ' -.
l''My friend, are you not aware that you
are doing wrong-that you are violating
the teachings of the Bible By playing your
fiddle to-day r" .I- ...
2 "Wen. L dun no. says Joe.
"Then let me inform you, my friend, that
YOU will be called to account for this viola
lion of the ordinance of the Bible, at the day
OF judgment" .....
Joe (excitedly)-"Hold on there, parson,
you have hit on the very thing want to ask
! you about, / want to know, is there but
one day of judgment"
j. "No, my friend, there is ODE but one day,
when all men are to be judged according to
| the deeds done in the body" -..
| Joe (resuming his fayorite pasime)-
"Well old hoss, you can pass on. am safe
enough if their aint but one day Of judg-
nent, for there's an old cock eyed Judge,
the brown critters, and will die just afore
me, and Pm ready to swear his case will
take up that day, sure"
