There is good borrowing demand for

carried at one to eight per cent. with the
larger number of transactions at three 10
Six; single loan is reported free of inter-
est to both borrower and lender. These
low rates, considering the abundance of
gold in the Market indicate that heavy
speculative sales have been made within
the last few days-a fact which partly
accounts for the rise in the premium du-
ring the morning.

EXIT Mrs. STOVES CALUMNY.
The letter of Lord Lindsay to the
London Times, accompanied by
a letter from Lady Byron, written
in 1918, giving an account of her
separation from her husband and
confirmed by one of her ladyship's
most intimate friends, effectually
clears the memory of Byron and
consigns Mrs. Stowe to an eterni-
ty Of contempt and her detested
SANDER to oblivion. This last
link of evidence Of course closes
the discussion, and it is to be
hoped forever. Mrs. Stowe, in
gratifying a beastly, prl1rient
taste, has only succeeded in bring
ing down upon her the execra-
tion of all right-thinking people.
:"The slow, unmoving finger of
scorn" will point to her as the
embodiment of bafHed malice;, as
a literary outlaw "a scotched
snake would better describe her.)
She will bear watching for the
future. The venom is not all ou1
of her yet. ...-.

VERY DEAD.-What q terrible,
nine-lived cat is this Democratic
party, to be sure. 1t has been
dead, how many times, let us see.
It was dead in 186l-the Charles
ton Convention broke it's back
entirely; it was dead in 1862, dead
in 1868, dead in 1864, in 1866 it
was too dead to talk about; in
1866 the cunning1y, contrived
'bloodshed of Memphis and New
Orleans laid it out again; through
out 1897 it slept, SO. said the loil,
lin the silent tomb; but, somehow
it came to life in 1868 and pushed
Grant so hard that he only es-
capped by the skin of his teeth,
slipping in by but some $4,000
majority, in astotal poll of 5,6OO,-
80, and that majority made up
by negro votes. And now, here
in 1869, this extremely dead par
ty is so uncomn brisk that the
only hope. Radicalism has lies in
the belief that it is going to split
into fragments with victory
cleaning before it's very eyes.
Don't mind these little jars, gem

reached even as far as Montreal
Island, and there bones lie scat

Williams Land, some in isolated
graves, others in camping places.
where they died in companies :.
The melancholy history has it's
crOwning terror in the knowledge
that they died by starvation
through the base behavior Of tlle
Esqnimaux, and that learning
their fate, Capt. Hall was reduced
to the awful necessity of taking
the life of one Of his own muti-
nous men.
Mr.. Hall states that after. the
Erubus and Terror were abandon
ed, one of them consumated the
great Northwest Passage, having
Ave men aboard. The evidence
Of the exact number is circum-
stantial. Everything about this
Northwest Passage ship of Sir
John Frankin's expedition was
in complete order. -Four boats
were hanging high up at the
ships sides, and one was on tho
quarterback. The vessel was in
the winter housing of sail cloth.
Thisvessel was found by the ma
tives near O'Reilly Island, lati-
98 degrees 80 minutes. north, Ions
gitude 50 degrees minutes west.

ing frozen in the midst of q

PROFITS OF MANUFACTUR1G IN
THE SoUrH.-The Memphis Daily
Sun proves or seems to prove that
a cotton factory in that city will
clear $S2 IS more ON every bale
of cotton woven into cloth than
can be made at the mills of Low
ell, and that three thousand bales
at Memphis will produce u profit
Of $24S,OOO in one year against
the $4,000 of the Lowell mills
built at nearly the same COST
The New England manufactures
pays sixteen dollars to get bale
to his mill, aud loses entirely the
profit of the oil from the cotton
seed, sixty dollars per bale, all of
which, with the advantage of
cheaper labor, enters into the
gains of the home manufacturers.
Certainly the time is not remote
when The whole of the Southern
States will abound not less in cot
ton factories than in cotton. And
herein they will find one of the
most copious and enduring sources
OF boundless prosperity.
