THE MARKET VALUE OF FURs.-An old gem
tleman who has been in the fur trade for twenty
five years, writes to a Western newspaper:
just quarter of a century ago | entered the
fur trade, paying eighteen cents for mink, twenty
cents for muskrat, and two dollars for yellow mar
ten skins. During these twenty-five years there
have been some wide ranges of prices have sold
n lot of mink for eight hundred dollars that now
would bring twenty -four thousand dollars Then
again. have sold Il lot Of coon for thirteen thou
sand dollars, that in London, to-day, would not
bring two thousand dollars. The little marter
skin is not worth the same price as yellow dog
skin--two shillings. The opossum has been lrou
three TO sixty, and is now down to eight cents
War has been one cause of these fluctuations; bu
that mghtier power than armies, Fashion ha

TIM MUHLBACH NoVELs.--Last Summer at
the seashore, when the weather was unfavorable
for walking on the beaches or strolng in the rocky
pastures, used to while away many an hour at
the public library of c., in idly turning over
the leaves OF familiar volumes, and in studying
the folks who came for books.
." ] soon saw that the good people of C.,
like the good people of every other town or city
in the civilized world, were great readers aud ad-
mirers of novels and romauces. | found that
Louisa Muhlbach was a prodigious iavorite with
these 6sher.loks. The poor librarian was dread
fully pestered with their incessant demands for the
Muhhach novels, and was weary of repeating that
they we're all out, and that she knew not when any
of them would be in. Pretty little Miss p,
Minerva in spectacles--a veritable Crichton in
petticoats- sad, IN one Of her long and learned
combinations with the librarian. that Scott was
prosy and Dickens silly but Muhlbach was spen-

novels the librarian heartily assented. | was not
long in discovering that not 10 be an admirer of
these German historical novels argued you to be,
in the estimation of the literdti of c., a per-
son OF no taste or cleyerness.
- As goes Hull goes the State and in the
admiration Of the Muhlbach novels, as went c.,
so went the country. There is now a real Null
bach Juror. Her works are the fashion. The lac

charming Muhbach' Shes the favorite Of the

"'Tis certainly no small pleasure to sit down
quietly of an evening in ones own room ai-

Great, Marie Antoinete and Napoleon Bonaparte.
And how much better It's to make the acquaintan-

toinette than-of Aurora Floyd and Lady Audey !!
If, like Miss p above mentioned, readers

the popularity OF the sensational novel is on the

Special dispatch from the Boston Daily Advertiser
WHITE HOUSE JUGGLING.


The Associated Press was used last night as a
means for bringing before the public one OF the
most wicked ialsehoods ever concocted. The pa
pers of this morning contain what purports TO be
an official statement prepared by the Secretary Of
the Treasury, in which it is said that during the
fiscal year ending june 30th 1867, there were one
hundred and thrty-nine removals made of asses
sors aud collectors; it is further said that one
hundred and nineteen Of these changes were made
upon the recommendation Of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, both as 20 the removal aud as
to the persons appointed while for the other TWEEN
ty changes the President alone was responsible
The so-called official statement then goes on to
show what resulted from these changes viz a
large gain TO the revenue from the appointments
made by the President on bis own responsibility.
A very few words will show the character of
this precious statement. 1t was not prepared by
the Secretary Of the Treasury, and he is in no
sense responsible iorit. Some of the figures were
furnished to the White House by one of the trea-
sury clerks and the document was cooked up di-
rcctly by the President or by of his secreta-
rics Tor his benefit In so far as it relates 60 the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue it is an I'M
qualified fasehood, for the fact is, as the records
will show, that during the fiscal year 1867 he was
not once consulted about the removal or appoint
ment Of any assessor or collector, and not a sin
gle one Of these one hundred and thirty-nine
changes was made on his recommendation
The foundation and keystone being thus knock
ed away from this so called official statement, it's
other figures count for nothing The whole thing
may be set down as only another job of the ord-
nary dirty work Of the White House, of piece
with the garbliug of dispatches, and the coneoct-
ing Of tales about Gen. Grant.
The cotton tax bill will go TO the President to-
morrow; the conference report was carried in the
Senate without division, and in the House by a
vote Of l0l 10 40. The cotton tax is abrogated
and foreign cotton will be admitted free after the
first OF next November.

In one of Robert Collyer's speeches In
the Unitarian Convention, when making a
plea for churches where the poor might
hnd entrance, he crossed the platform, and,
putting his arm around the shoulder of Ed
ward Everett Hale, he said, Brother Hale,
you have beautiful church, and the music
Is like Heaven there, but, Tn told the price
OF seats is so high that a poor man can't come
ere," and-as the report goes-in a tone
that was more than q reproof, in It's gentle
ness, lis it so? 1 think if poor creature
who beats his wife could come there and
see the beautiful interior and hear that
young lady sing whom 1 heard there last
Sunday, he would go home and forget to
beat his wife that night. But your rich
