sHoDDY AT SwAMPscorr, MAss-The gossppv Mail
tells the following:
A prominent Boston merchant recently gave grand
dinner party at his vlla at Swampscot, to celebrate
the birthday of his eldest daughter The expense Of
the entertainment is said to have been two thousand
dollars, and when mention the fact that eight diff
erent kinds of wine were served this readily be
imagined. Walters with powdered wigs aud attircd
in scarlet coats and silk hose gded noiselessly in and
out with silver dishes; canary birds sa"g from gilded
cages, from which hung baskets of choice flowers, and
sweet music lent additional charm to the affair. The
guests appeared i'll full evening Dress and each lady
was presented with beautiful bouquet of flowers,
upon rising from the table. In the evening dancing
took place, everybody congratulated everybody else
upon the success Of the entertainment and the eeI-
pany broke up at midnight. Such a birthday must,
indeed be pleasant.

NEW YeRK, Nov. Z, evening. Excitement in Wall
street to-day very great and panic severe in the morn
ing. Market became buoyant il the afternoon, but
towards the close there was relapse. Money very
stringent until o'clock, after which market became
easier. Call loans made at Pct. currency. Ex
change declined, closing weak at g. Gold, after ris-
ing to 1889, fell again. closing at l32S1l33. Gov
ernment securities advanced during the day and closed
buoyant. Stock market was stronger at second board
and afterWard there general rise, with much ac-
tivty but at the close lower, heavy and unset
tied. Fluctuations violent throughout the city.
The Herald has the following: "There is no abate-
ment of the extreme monetary sngency in this city,
and loans were made yesterday stock coaterals at
f1pet in currency, with commission of pct. per
day added. There at the time severe
panic in Government securities which carried prices
down from 3 to 4 Pct and break in railroad shares
Of from 4 to 10 dRct, the market for those stocks
closing in fresh panic. There is unfortunately no
prospect of relief growing Of abundant sup
ply Of money, the markets all over the country being
equally stringent with own, and further heavy
decline in the speculative stock to be inevitable

HuMBoLDrs EXPERIENCE OF EARTHQUAKE
bodt who witnessed several earthquakes, says that
one never gets used to them but the contrary his
feelings of dread are intensified at each successive one
which he experiences. ALI beasts and birds partake
of mans fear and seem panc-stricken. Humboldt ac-
counts for mans inability to become accustomed to,
and consequently to dread earthquakes by saying
that, whatever have at any time under any Cir
cumstances considered shaky, the earth has always
stood firm and when find that tossing beneath our
feet seems though the very bottom Of things had
been knocked out. Every time the shock is repeated
the unreliabty of only support is forced upon
our attention with augmented force. Other dangers
can be foreseen and provided against but this is uev
table and remorSeless. A.

ADVERTISING Prof Eastman, in lecture on ad-
versing says the merchants of Europe beat those Of
America in that line. They frequently spend $780,,
0GO year for advertisements. A. T. Stewart advcr-
tised his cotton goods alone all over the Union. NJ
Bonner asked Bennett for three Paees in i.sa Her
aid for an advertisement of the Ledge Bennett told
him lie could have all the space he wanted Jg rqTina
double price. Upon which Bonner said be w0uI& gakg
the whole paper. The next day the Herald had moth
ing but Bonner's advertisement of the Ledger PryE
Eastman advises advertising one thjng at sjmc, as
for instance, sugar, sugar sugar ! in tbe best place in
the paper and in the best papers published even if
it costs four times much" g Bus 4dverlyements
must be frequent-a single adVertisemeat woaid have

SINGULAR S1GHr.-A singular sight isnow presented
to those who visit Boston harbor. The steamer Star
of the South which used to carry supplies during
the Crmean war, and also engaged to carry pro-
visions and for the relief of Gen. Anderson at
Fort Sumter, lies high and dry on Moon Island Along
side of her is the double ender Peoria, sdewheel
steamer built on the Mississippi river six years ago,
and employed by the rebels before Gen. Grant opened
the river by his capture of Vieksburg. Both Of
these vessels were sold in New York by the Govern
ment, and purchased by Boston parties, who have
taken all the machinery and valuable property from
them, and will soon set them on fire and reduce them
to ashes in order to secure the iron.
The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1868-11-11

JOHN Bull JUBILANT.-The United States pays
about $40 100000 of interest money per annum to
foreign holders Of United States bonds These bonds
not taxed and pay the holders about per cent.
upon their gold investment, which is just so much
money drained from the products of the American
people The British consols pay but about three per
cent. in gold and little more in paper. Hence tue
JOY over the ocean that the October elections
fifteen per cent of the peoples money pledged for all
time to the foreign holders of United States bonds.
The Radical elections certainly mean increased indebt
cdness to Europe, increased taxes upon all we con-
sumo of the necessities of life tea, coffee, sugar.
&c. John Bull dances and Uncle Sam plays the fiddle.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-McCulloch decides he has
power to eissue any legal tender notes that may have
been redeemed, but not cancelled, provided, the
amount outstanding does not exceed $500, 900.
This will obviate the necessity of any other sale of
bonds gold by the treasury and enable the Seereta-
ry to afford substantial relief to the money markets
Although opposed to the further issue of currency he
relieve the present critical condition Of financial affairs
