| RUSSIAN MONEY BROEERs-Ihough the ring
upon ones finger is said to be unsafe in the Rus
sian money marts, it is clear that the silver rubes
and ducats on the tables Of the money brokers are
perfectly secure for tables of this kind stand on
the corners Of all the streets, amidst the thickegt
Of the throng, upon which columns and heaps of
the different sorts Of are invitingly exposed to
the public gaze-a phenomenon that perhaps could
would be easy for any one intent plundar TO mp
set the table, and tumble its valuable freight pro
miseuousy into the mud and no one, amidst the
general confusion, could be expected to point out
the rogue that was enriching himself with the
scattered spoil.
And yetit is a fact that though thousands of
rubes are often placed under the care of lads only
twelve years of age not broker would. risk a
farthing, if he did not think himself perfectly safe
with his money amidst all these people and the
attendant eOmmoton. But the Russian rogue is
a strangely discriminating fellow, who has not the
least scrupe to commit some actions that are pal
pably dishonest-for instance, to charge a buyer
six times as much for thing as it is worth, or to
pick ones pocket of watch or purse - while
he thinks others most disgraeeful, and is.
therefore, in certain points, as honorable and
trustworthy as the most conscientious man that
can be found These money, brokers are under
the protection Of the public and of the thieves
themselves. No doubt it has often happened that
such money-tables have been oyerthrown and not
a single copeck, much less ducat has been lost
because all the by-standers, in their sheep skin
dresses, assisted with the most courteous ocioug
ness to pick up all the pieces Of gold and silver
out of the dirt.

season for profitable planting will probably have
past.
Fortunately for our afflicted people the Misss-
sippi river has at last commenced falling RAPIDLY
and will therefore permit the rapid outpouring of
the waters of its tributaries. The upper Red
River is already declining, and there is every hope
that the extensive and fertile districts which bor-
der it in the western part of the State will in few
days be in condition for cultivation. II the
planters avail themselves promptly of this fact,
and our merchants grant them even limited facili-
ties in the way of supplies, it is not too late to
raise a medium crop on most of the submerged
plantations. Should the autumn prove as favor
able as it often does in latitude, there is even
hope, if our planters do not yield to discour-
agement, that their tolls may be yet rewarded by
almost full crop.
1t may be proper time, too, to urge upon
those who have these vast interests in charge,
that now, while the waters are subsiding, they
should arouse themselves to the task of prevent
ing like oatastrophes next year. The levees are
broken, and the river will rise through the numer
Gus creyasses next year, unless they be repaired
in most substantial manner. Let not the public
guardians waste the present year in discussion of
sundry systems. Theorizing will not stop the rise
of the river, nor will the most learned discussions
build levees. The plans should be at once pre-
pared, and the work on the levees should be
begun as soon as the condition of the waters will
admit. Unless this is done, it would be as well to
abandon at once to the waves, without further dis
cussion, those fertile districts in which so many
hopes have already been wrecked by relying upon
the efforts of public guardians to restrict the
waters to their ordinary channels.
