to depreciate and assessments came thick and
fast. the religious and other stockholders were
glad to almost give away their stock. Marble
quietly scooped in all he could, believing the
time would come when it would be worth
something. At length, in 1862, he had obtain
cd majority Of the stock. The paper was
then apparently on it's last legs. 1t was run
ming rapidly behind hand, could pay for but
very little news, and it's immediate decease was
looked for in journalistic circles.
Then it was that Mr.. Marble called upon
some Of the leading Republicans and represent
order to keep the paper running. The Tribune
and Times were on such firm financial basis
that he could not hope to publish the World as
o Republican journal unless sinewS. OF war were
provided by the Republicans as o party. They
were not forthcoming, and Mr.. Marble decided
to try the Democratic tack and see how that
would work.
The Democracy then had no reliable organ
in the CITY, He began with o yell against ar
bitrary arrests. quickly following with pro-
nuncamento for Horatio Seymour, then run
ming for Governor against General Wadsworth.
Down went the Worlds circulation until it was
next to nothing. Then the tide turned with
the acquisition of Democratic subscriptions
and the paper has continued to pick up ever
since.
Mr.. Marble has continued to purchase the
stock when it could be obtained, until he now
has the whole thing in his own possession. AS
another evidence of his financlak prosperity,
he has recently purchased an elegant residence
on Fifth-avenue for $4,000. Socially Mr.. Mar
BILE is one Of the most charming and fascinat-
ing of men. He has, however, a great aver
main away from o banquet or dinner if there
is any danger Of his being called upon to re-
spond to o toast. He has certainly had most
wonderful and extraordinary career.

A ROYAL WAITER. In the force of the assis-
tants who wait on the tables in the City Hotel
in New Orleans, there is an individual who, at
first view, almost every one is struck with an
idea that the man is occupying strangely in
appropriate place. Yet he is one of the most
attentive and prompt men in the force. His
general appearance is that Of a finely edu-
Gated man, who has seeu much life, IN which
he was waited en- more royalty than he serves
others. He is evidently we'll educated and in
teligent. few words to him III German or
French will elicit answers in a pure and native
accent, which makes you unconsclously stare
at the man. But he seems to notice nothin g
but to attend patiently to the business which
he is employed to perform. His history, is
tion. He is royal prince. and until lately
was the ruler Of one Of those principalities
which, by the decree of Prussia, was abolished
in, in Germany. and absorbed in the empire;
This man bong thus cast from affluence and
respected rank, and. withal, being an exceed
iingly mild person in his manners and splendid
ly educated, calmly laid aside his sceptre and
sought in this country TO earn livelihood.
No place OF professorship or other intellectual
employment was opened to his talent. But he
calmly accepted the fate that came to him, and
thus it occurs chat he is now q waiter in the
City Hotel

Marble,
A New York letter SAWS :

A New York letter says:
The instances of journalists pure and simple
achieving financial success are so rare as to be
well worldly Of recording. Mr.. Manton Marble
has just purchased the rem lining quarter in
terest in the New York WEEK.. for $100, ,00G, aud
1s therefore now the sole proprietor OF that
mammoth concern.
Some eleven years since Mr. Marble was
student at the Roohester( IN. ", College, whore
he was being aided by wealthy gentleman
who had discovered his abilities. On complet-
ing his studies he came to- New York. and
ceiling upon friend asked his advice aa to
what vocation he should follow. He wac ad-
vised to go into journalism. He accordingly
proceeded to Boston and secured position On
the tvening traveller as theatrical reporter.
He soon made his mark there, aud, returning
to New York, took the position Of art and dra-
matic critic during the incumbents absence
on foreign tour. After the latter's return he
wrote for the Evening Post at so much per
column. Having been thus employed FOR
some time he made o. trip to the Saskatchewan
River region. Returning. he shut himself NO
closely for several weeks, and at the end OF
that time produced some sketches or the ter
ritory he had explored which attracted consi-
derable attention in Harper's Magazine.

COTTON.-The leading markets having es hibited
no improvement in their condition, buyers were
unable to make any offers which would be consider
ed by sellers, and unqualified dullness character
lied the article during the day. The only sale was
lot of bales at 271sc o 1b Quotations continued

The STOCK OF COTTON IN poRT.-Several OF our
cotton buyers counted the stock OF cotton on the
wharves and at the railroad depots to-day and they
show total of 2135 bags of sea islands and $40
bales OF upland cotton. not incni ding the i
sn1pboard. These figures exceed our estimates
about 800 bags and packages of islands and 1000
bales of upland cotton. Should more careful
scrutiny show these figures to be right, the above
additions will be made to tablee. We would
state that in counting sea islands light packages, in
some cases not exceeding 100 pounds are put down
as bags whereas the old average was about 800
pounas to the bale.

The Lay or Lord Lowell.
(NEw STYLE,

Lord Lowell he stood by the garden gate,
With his shining velocipede,
And whispered farewell to his Lady Bell.
Who wshel for his Lordship good speed
when will you be back, Lord Lowell ?" she said,
But he gave to her questions no heed
Placed his feet in his stirrups, and galoped away
On his famous velocipede.
Then Lady Bell cried, in frantic alarm,
'sWhat q monster my Lord is, indeed,
TO ride thus away, from his loving young wife,
On that horrid velocipede ??
Lord Lowell returned broken.hearted and sore,
Broken armed, and, alas broken-kneed
For he struck on post, nearly gave up the ghost,
And smashed his velocipede
MORAL
Remember the fate Lord Lowell has met
Let this be your warning and creed
Stay at home with your wife TOR the rest of your life
And beware the velOcipede

Its use during the past tour years for the culture

The price at vince this Guano is placed is so

The large capital and resources Of the Company
enable it to furnish Guano of the highest value at

Correspondence of tho Alexandria Gazette
Day before yesterday was the regular day for
the monthly court in Stafford county. There
was no court, however, and but few persons as
scmbed. There have been, as Is generally
known, no appointments to the magstcr!aI
bench Of that county, and happily none OF the
old incumbents can take the necessary oaths.
1t was supposed by some that military com
missioner would hold court, aid under that
impression some few lawyers and other citizens
attended, but the commissioner never came
and court business generally went by the
board"
The wheat in this county and in Stafford IS
looking as well as it has ever looked In past
years during this season of the year, and the
farmers, generally, are making abundant prep
arations for corn.
The peach crop is given up to be al most de-
stroyed Now and then live bud can be found
Cherries will be plentiful if nothing hereafter
destroys them.
No person mentioned politics at Court, ez.-
cept to dcplorc the di$jointed condition OF al
fairs. Surely community in which there Is
no Court, no officers of the law, and, indeed,
no law for the time being, deserves abundant
credit for the pcaceable and orderly manner IN
which all its classes conduct themselves. Ii
would be we'll if we could shut our eyes to the
political depression of the country, and unite
all our energies in building up our private Tor
tunes, having an eye at the same time to the
proper settlement of our State difficulties tol
in the rejection Of the Underwood Constitution
all our liberties are founded. TYRONE
