Two LIFE PATHS By L. Muhlbach. New York:
sell. Price 60 cents.
known as the New York Ledger plan, except
that virtue is not rewarded, nor vice satisfac-
torily punished. There are two heroines No.
is living lie and cheat aud prospers amaz-
ingly. No. 2 leads q life Of agony and moral
martyrdom, and in the end is so overcome by
the consciousness that right cannot make its
way in this wicked world of sin, that her only
resource is unnitigated suicide. Miss Muhl-
bach's stories Of King and Kaiser are dreary
enough, but they arc moro amusing than this
compound OF tWaddle, bathos and hacknied
sensation.

Forney on Figures.

Forney gays Of Governor Scott, of this
State: "The bonds that were selling at %
scents on the dollar, when he took poss ession,
sare now worth from sc to 81" The truth is
that old State bonds were 65 to 81 on the day
Of Soott's inauguration, and were quoted
yesterday OF "a, which is about 80 per cent.
less than their value when the State gov
ernment was in responsible hands. Forney
says OF the late lamented Mayor Clark !:
"The city debt Of Charleston was FIVE mil
"lions when the present Mayor was elected,
"and it's securities have risen from SO to
'6S." This also is wide Of the mark; for
the price of city stock when Mayor Clark
was insugurated was 46 to 48.

numerous Spanish msn-os-war in the Gulf BE-
fore it reaches it's objective point. It is said
that the United States authorities here have
winked at this movement, which was no secret
to some OF the marshals deputies; but whether
this allegation is just or otherwise, time and
inquiry will show. Meanwhile, the organ OF
the Junta, La Revolution, is out in q very Bit
ter article with reference to the policy OF the
United Stat-s."
The New York Commercial Advertiser
says that proposition for the RELIEF OF the
Americans sufferers by the depredations oI inc
Alabama and other anglo-Confederate pr"d-
teers is nov receiving the careful consloeia-
tion Of the President, the members OF the Caol-
net and leading congressman. 1t involves the
passage OF a law at the commencement OF the
session of Congress. in December next, autho-
rizing tho appointment of COMMISSION 10
andit and pass upon all American claims
against England for damages sustained by
violation or evasion Of the neutrality laws
during the recent civil war. The United
States Government will then assume these
claims, and present. them in a single
item in the account against Great Britain
with o demand for immediate restitution. In
case Of refusal, ulterior measures will be
adopted which it is believed will be backed by
the entire American people. This course is
calculated to obviate the almost interminable
delays which usually attend the settlement OF
claims against foreign governments. Many OF
the Alabama claimants are poor, and according
to precedent, many Of them may be reduced to
bankruptcy or death, before their just claims
can be- settled. The President is known to
fully recognize their claims to the protection
Of the government, and is anxious to present
the matter in a tangible shape to the British
authorities. These views are also shared BY
General Sherman. :-is -. 90.

The Western Grain Trade.

The West is ina ferment just now over
the question whether wheat shall be car
ried from st. Louis down the Mississippi
and thence by sea to Europe and New York,
or sent by rail and canal via Chicago and
Buffalo to New York. The st. Louis mer-
chants have it very much at heart to rival
or surpass Chicago as shipping point for
grain,. and they figure oat that they can
move it to New Orleans for less than 10
cents bussel, whereas it costs S24 cents
per bushel to move it from Chicago to New
York. Therefore they argue they can afford
to pay the difference between 10 cents and
S2s cents for grain, and thus divert it alto
gether from its present channel to New
York via Chicago. New Fork, however, is
enlisted with Chicago in having the grain
seek its market by the present route, and
the New Workers are debating how to
ohespen transportation, 30 as to compete
with the Mississippi line. Some Of the New
York papers seem inclined in the .iemer-
gsnoy to favor the Ruskin idea that no rail-
road or canal should ever declare dividends,
but that these means oftrsnsportstion should
be controlled by government 80 that oon-
sumers need pay no more than the bare cost
Of carrying products from one part Of the
country to another. There certainly seems
to be something wrong in the fact, that
one-third of the price of wheat should be
consumed in getting it to market. 80
