FRAUDULENT COTTON ,DEALERs.-A new
game of swindle is being attempted by some
man or company of men in and about this
city, and if some one or firm is not "put
in" for a slice of expense it will be astonish-
ing. The man or men write to some firm
South to buy so much cotton, and ship to
him or them at this point, and draw for the
amount of the invoice. The name of the
well-known firm of S. Barker q Co., who
have never departed from their regular bu-
siness, has been used in two instances, when
twenty bales of cotton were ordered-one lot
from Nashville, and one lot from New Or
leans. The cotton was purchased in Nash
vile, and sent here to one of our leading
houses, to be delivered on payment of draft.
The firm in New Orleans, Messrs. Walthall
d Co., would not make the purchase, as the
order was so indefinite. The whole purpose
is to have the cotton shipped direct to them
or him, and he or they will either sell it by
bill of lading, or hypothecate it on bill of
lading before its arrival or the arrival OF
draft of purchase. 1t is very fair way Of
swindling. Some one may be taken in be-
fore the operation is finished. Look out,
merchants, and see that you are not the ones
to pay for the whiSls-Lou. Journal.

change prices varying at 5000. The receipts
during lhe day run light A variety of opinion

An experiment tried by an eminent physician
of st. Petersburg. during the prevalence Of the
trate the influence of the mind upon the body, He
obtained of the authorities two criminals who had
been condemned to death, to do with them as he
saw fit. One of these cOnvicts was made to sleep
in bed in which, as he was told man died with
the cholera but the night before-although such
was not the fact. After restless night, the Grim
inal was taken with all the symptoms of cholera,
and died of that diseaec, declaring that he had
caught it from that bed-a victim to his own fears.
The other made to sleep on a bed wherein a
man had died few hours previously, Of the fatal

occupant of the bed, who arose in tho morning re-
freshcd by his sleep, remaining in perfect heath.

Finance and Trade.
A New York correspondent of the louisville
Democrat SAYS:

A New York correspondent of the louisville
Democrat. says:
The New York Chamber of Commerce. in for
mer times, was a body which commanded uniyer-
sal respect Its sayings and doings always carried
a weight with them its members were men of
education, intelligence and patriotism, and the
institution, as a whole, was justly one OF which
the commercial emporium had right to be proud.
In these days, however, it has undergone n sad
change. When the war broke out, it dcgcncratcd
into mere Loyal League Club. Its leading
members ceased to have national views and
swung off one after another on the New England
ncgro-worshipping track. Anxious only to OBJ
tain fat army and navy contracts and utterly cal
lOus to the calanities that were threatening the
country, these fellows got up Unconditional
Union meetings $50 called at the Cooper
Institute, passed resolutions almost every day

They have just resotued that it is the duty of Con-

Federal notification forthwith of all State laws of

haraSs and worry the South, and to squeeze from
it the last drop of its lifeb blood under the forms of
law.
The very creatures who are figuring in this bu-
sincSs, IL should be known are men who got their
first start in life from southern trade Some of
them arc ship and cotton brokers' others are deal

the mcanoSt description. Nevertheless, their
wealth gives them power, and the power will he

though the Saints. who represent the godlincSs of

THE Philadelphia Bulletin is overcoming
its antipathy to the South, and says it is
"glad to see that the enterprise of establish
ing a line of steamships to our Southern
ports is being vigorously prosecuted, and
we hope soon to be able to report that the
effort has proved success The large trade
already carried on between Philadelphia
and the South amply warrants such line,
and its establishment would certainly have
the effect of attracting a great increase of
Southern custom to this city"

THE FIRST TRowsERs.-A young but
prudent mother, on the occasion of making
her little boy his first pair of colored trow-
sers, conceived the idea that it would be
more economical to make them of the same
dimensions behind as before, 50 that they
might be changed about and wear evenly
and so she fashioned them. Their effect
when donned by the little victim was ludi-
crous in the extreme. Papa, at first sight
of the baggy garment, so fearfully and
wonderfully made" burst into roar of
laughter, and exclaimed: "Oh, my dear,
how could you have the heart to do it?
Why, the poor little fellow won't know
whether he's going to school or coming
home"
