AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.

The New York World says lit is evident that
every year the West of Europe becomes more and
more dependent upon u.s." that from the lst Of
September last Great Britain has imported from
this country nine millions of wheat and -four at
full prices, and would have imported twenty mil.
lions more at full prices, if we had had it to spare.
As for corn, it says:
'sWe are absolutely unable to find ship room to
transport to her our surplus, for which she is ma
king urgent call and paying most liberal prices.
The export Of provisions has been on scale OF
unsurpassed magnitude. In the past three months
we have exported many thousand tierces and bar
rels of beef and pork, and many million pounds Of
bacon and lard in fact quantities almost unpre-
cedented, and these products have gone forward at
good prices During the past year, domestic to-
bacco has increased twenty per cent in price, and
during the same period the exports have been on
scale far in advance Of any former year, and are
only impeded at the present time by deficiency Of
supplies.
"As respects Cotton, the superiority OF the
Southern States for the growth of this staple needs
no more effective demonstration than that Man
chester, after having for seven years put forth her
utmost efforts to develop Cotton growing in other
parts of the world, finds her supplies 80 reduced
that she bids for our cotton twice as much as the
average price before the war. I"

GRANT AS AN EQUESTRIAN.

> The father Of General Grant, who is attempting
the life of his son in the New York Ledger, gives
the following auecdote illustrative Of the equestrian
powers of the General when a boy: t..,E.l,a
. "Once, when he was boy, q show came along,
in which there was a mischievous pony, trained to
go round the ring like Lightning, and he was ex-
pected to throw any boy that attempted to ade
him. "Will any boy come forward and ride this
pony?" shouted the ring master Ulysses step
ped forward and mounted the pony. The perfor
nance began. Round and round and round the
ring went the pony, faster and faster, making the
greatest effort to dismount therider. But Ulysses
sat as steady as if he had grown to the. pony's
back. Presently out came large monkey and
sprang up behind Ulysses. The people set up a
great shout of laughter, and on the pony ran, but
it all produced no effect on the rider. Then the
ring master made the monkey jump up on to Ulys-
ses' shoulders, standing with bis feet on his shoul
ders, standing with his hands holding on to his
hair. At this there was another and still louder
shout bnt NOT g muscle Of IIlraaes,, Sapa zanEad
There was nota tremor OF his nerves "A few more
rounds, and the ring-master gave it up-he had
come across boy that the pony and the monkey
both could not dismount. !" " >.il
The question suggests itself whether this is to be
regarded asa typical foreshadowing of the politi
cal career of Ulysses2 Isthe ntractable pony that
threw over his head every boy that tries to mount
him the same that is now endeayoring to disloge
Andrew johnson? Is Grant to be the rider that
will master that mischievous animal2 And if 80,
when Grant is riding the pony, who is the "big
monkey" that is to ride Grant -"

ATPoLicE STORY.

A Paris correspondent writes: :.The recent
death of Nuzillard thesenior cashier at the Comp
toir d Escompte, through whose hands more gold
has passed than would buy up an empire, reminds
me of the following story. Nuzillard had always
enjoyed the reputation Of being themost clever and
at the same time most prudent cashier. Howev-
er, in lS4e he managed to get robbed Of sum Of
$4,000 in f40 notes. The director Of the Comp
toir, although he had always had the greatest con-
6dence in the oftentried probity Of his clerk, still
thinking it strange that he could have had SO large

told him oil about it. The latter pronounced ano-
piniop favorable to the honesty ofpoor Nuzillard.
Remember, said the director, sthat hundred
bank notes make quite thick packet, and can
not see how, with this packet on his breast -"
Nothing for clever thief" interrupted N. Car
lier. "Here is newspaper; fold it, and buttoni it
in your breast-pocket Now, will not promise
you it will still be there when you leave the Pre-
fecturel" ...
'The director laughed, and declared it was i'm
possible, while he carefully placed the newspaper
at the side of his pocket book. The two gentlemen
remained some time in conversation, during which
the Prefect of Police was receiving people and
writing orders When the director rose to go, N.
Cartier after shaking hands with him, said: "By

But, 10 and behold to the intense stupefaction Of
the director, both pocketbook and paper had dis
appeared, whereupon the project rang the bell, and
the property was brought back BY the amateur
thief who had done the deed on q pencil command
from his master, and the astonished owner Of the
stolen pocket-book then and there declared his
complete belief in his cashiers innocence.DS 3

LOVE ROMANCE.

A correspondent at, Detroit furnishes the
Cleaveland Herald with scrap Of History in the
life of Miss Matilda Kirby, who died at CleaVe-
land in August last. The correspondent says:
"Miss Kirby, was living in New York in 1860,
where she formedth acquaintance Of aman named
C. d. Niles, living in Erie county in this State.
The girls parents were wealthy, but she resolved
to leave them and go with Niles. They left the
State separately, he few hours in advance. Niles
went to Toledo, then returned to Fremont, where
the girl met him, and both went to Toledo. Niles
secured work in manufacturing establishment at
Toledo, and the girl peddled oranges and cigars.
She was so fearful Of pursuit by her father that at
Fremont, she assumed male attire, and this she
wore constantly for two years. As the couple were
walking in Toledo one evening, policeman over
heard their conversation, discovered the sex Of the
disguised girl, and she was arrested. Securing her
release by donning her proper apparel, thetwo went
to Nashville, the girl again taking mems clothing
for her wear. Niles got position as engineer on
the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad and Miss
Kirby was his fireman. iaJ ~ si3&i 3 =
After some time spent in this way they returned
North-weut to the Medoc gold mines, and thence
to Cleaveland. Here the girl died alone among
strangers, Niles having gone to Chicago at the
time of her fatal sickness During all the time OF
their travel and working together, they were law
fully married" a.- ...4a:

"We admit that Mr.. Stanton and bis colleagues
have done great things on great scale, but they
lack the stamp Of individual greatness. II that is
to be found anywhere in America, its under the
modest roof Of General Lee, the champion OF a

A notice in another column of to-day Nesos an
nounces the reorganization Of this old firm, which
has so long held foremost place among the great
cotton houses Of Charleston. The style Of the
partnership is to remain unchanged, and the firm
of John Fraser & Co., under the experienced lead
of Mr.. Theodore D. Wagner, will lose nothing OF
its ancient prestige and character. MI. William
L. Trenholm the retiring partner, is to be assocla-
ted with his father, the Hon. George A. Trenholm,
whose commercial fame extends over both CONT
nents, in the establishment Of new firm, under
the name of George A Trenholm 4 Son.
In these changes our city will be the gamer.
Two powerful houses will be actively engaged in
trade where before there was but one; each pos
sessing vast energies and resources each thorough
ly Unidentified in sympathy and interest with our

perity which we all hope is in store for Charleston

''no better than she ought to be-" Be-
meath her roof the child of shame was
ushered into existence, and the mother
to maintain herself, entered on the ca
reer of shame. Her beauty in a short
time faded, her admirers became few land
the poor woman in a fit of desponden-
cy, appropriated articles of appar-
ell belonging to another woman, for
which she was arraigned before one of
the tribunals of justice. A slight pun
ishment was inflicted, and she who was
the pride of her fathers household, and
surrounded with all the luxuries of life,
became a painted harlot, and is now
treading the broad path to destruction,
and is being hastened to degraded
death by intoxication. She who was
the purest of the pure is now the lowest
of the most degraded. Her father died
a short time since Of delirium tremens,
and her sister is now an inmate of the
Insane Asylum at Columbus. She might
have been an ornament to society, but
she is now--we will not say what, but
