NUMBER 81.

the Count de Tendilla was unable, from the lack
of gold and silver, to purchase from the people OF
the place the necessaries of life for his soldiers
Great discomfort and approaching mutiny was the
consequence. III this dilemma, says the historian,
the aagacous commander took number of little
rnorsels of paper, on which he inscribed various
sums, large and small, ana signed them with his
own hand and name. Thee he gave to the SOL
diers in earnest of their pay. How, you will say,
are soders to be paid with little scraps Of paper,
Even so, and we'll paid too, for theSgood Count
issued proclamation ordering the inhaAitants to
take these morsels Of paper for the full amount
thereon subscribed, promising to redeem them at
future day in gold and silver. Thus, by subtitle
and miraculous alchemy, did this cavalier turn
worthless paper into precious gold, and his late
impoverished army abounded in money" The
historian adds: "The Count de Tendlla redeemed
his promises like royal knight, and this miracle,
as it appeared in the eyes Of Agapida, is the first
instance on record of paper money, which has
since spread throughout the civilized world the
most unbounded opulence." All very good fol
the time and person. This occurred in an age
when gold and silver was the universal currency
and was not boarded up by every miser who coult
clutch single piece of it. Then, too, the Coun
possessed the power to enforce his will upon thi
people whose goods he needed and was, withal
| man of wealth, and in whom was reposed IN
bounded confidence. The reader will be satisfied
we trust, that we proceed no further with our in
| ferential analogy.

THE BUTCHERS AND BAKERS.


If any one had told US a few months ago that
there was in our midst class of men so lost to
every feeling of honesty and fair dealing, as to
exact from the necessities of their fellow citizens
such exorbitant prices as the butchers and bakers
are now demanding for the food they retail, we
should have looked upon tha. person with scorn,
as vile caumniator of his fellow-man. But the
events of the past few weeks have enlightened US
no little upon the subject of human meanness, and
we begin to believe that mankind is capable Of it
to any degree.
The butchers, knowing that beef is scarce, and
that hundreds of people depend upon them for
daily supplies, have run up their prices to such an
exorbitaat magnitude tina. their profits must ex-
ceed FIVE hundred per cent? and, not satisfied with
this, refuse to take nearly all the ordinary cur
rency in the hands of the people, and are insulting
and overbearing in their conduct to such degree
that hundreds of poor women, who are obliged to
do their own marketing, have been forced to give
it up from fear of personal violence at their hands
The conduct of the bakers is much the same
They charge for loaf of bread which when flour
was ten dollars per BARREL sold at ten CENTS forty
cents and refuse everything but city bills, although
they do not fail when giving change, to return any
| worthless shnplaster which might have been lying
in their tills for months, andif these refused
will refuse in turn to sell theirsbread.
It is easy enough to understand how suct
tyranny can be practiced by those people, fol
| their customers, in most cases, are unprotected
| females or servants. And such is the scarcity O.
| food that the poor are driven to the necessity o
buying where they can, even if they are robbed O.
q portion Of their hard earned money.
| We would ask our authorities if there is no Law
to punish such conduct? if the community is for
ever to submit to such treatment from these land
pirates! If there is, we should like to see it pu
| in force Immediately we care not how strn
gently-for the wrongs of the people cry aloud 70
redress. If there is not, our City Council canno
too soon set about adopting them; and the police
in carrying them into effect, should be prompt an
| unsparing.
We are contrained to believe that the baker
and butchers in thus adopting the course we spea
of, are actuated, to great extent, by iendis
sort of malice as well as a love Of gain. The
seek to revenge themselves upon the people ft
the assize laws adopted by Gen. Lowell and IL
City Council in times past. But they should
promptly brought to a sense Of decency and pul
ishcd into an honest course, or prevented frol
pursuing callings which they have disgraced.
| Of course there are honorable exceptions anon
the bakers and butchers to the class we refer to
but they are few and far between, and howeve
we'll they may be disposed, cannot mitgat
by their examples the evils we speak of. Notbn
but prompt administration of justice can or vii

The FATHER OF RlvERs.-Our noble Mississippi,
upon whose now turbulent waters and tributaries
over $50 OO0, 900 have been invested at one time
in water craft, has of late been exciting consider
able attention, first that it contains npon it's bosom
the powerful "armada" of the Federalists, and
next from the "great swell" with which it now
almost threatens our inundation. Of its mad
freaks, at different periods, readers must refer
to the " Oldest inhabitant," our worthy "Talk on
Change" who, we verify believe. can give a sue
cinct history of every "rise and fall" quite as
clear and voluminous as Gibbons Rise and Fall u
of another not more powerful empire. Geography
asserts that the Mississippi river extends 2lo0
miles, from the frozen regions of the North to the
Sunny South and, with the Missouri river, is 4500
miles in length. This distance is equal in extent
from New York across the Atlantic ocean, or from
France to Turkey and the Caspian Sea. The aver
age depth of the river is fifty feet, and its width
over half mile. The floods are said to be over
month travelling from its source to its. delta. Al
Lake Pepin, between Wisconsin and Minnesota
$500 miles from the sea, the navies of the worlt
might all safely ride at anchor. A great, mighty
river is this same Mississippi.
