sadly over the tomb of one beloved and
departed. Perhaps she mourns child
whose death has been like the sudden
rending Of her heart, or the departure OF
her beloved companion, chosen for life,
who, by migbtier power. has been sum-
moned, without warning, away from her
forever. The opportunity for visiting the
grave of ones friend. can not be too
highly appreciated, however sad its OBJ
servance. The very fact of knowing
where the still form of ones friend re-
poses, is in itself satisfaction, and while
grateful for this privilege, let us remember
those unfortunate wives and mothers
whose beloved ones have recently been
torn from them by remorseless and cruel
war
Of the hundreds and thousands of
Frenchmen and Prussians murdered in
the dreadful conflict now progressing in
Europe, who knows where their mangled
bodies lie? In consideration of this. let
those who to-day adorn the graves of de-
parted friends with amaranthine chaplets
and crosses of eyergreens, forget not to
bestow upon the widows and mothers
bereaved, OF France and Prussia, their
heartfelt tears of sympathy.
1t is indeed an occasion to call forth
our sympathies, for all the suffering sons
and daughters of earth, for it is one of
the happiest uses of affection that the
heart softened by its own bitterness, turns
more kindly to the sorrows of others.

But cotton is hopping up, also, and
from the recent purchases for Bremen,
the Prussians are able to continue manu-
featuring as well as fighting.
To come back to less substantial mat
tiers, though, possibly, more profitable,
Louisiana Lottery Company's stock is
again rising. Some say it is but specula-
tive. But how does this differ from trade :?
1t is equally legitimate. The one, as we'll
as the other, may be reduced to science,
having its exact rules. This species Of
speculation consists merely in the pur-
chase of the stock of company, in the
prospect of its rise, Just as one would pur-
chase land in the midst or neighborhood
of a large city, in the view of its value be-
ing increased by q rising population.
Ten days ago Lottery stock sold at $50,
while sllO was yesterday refused for 200
shares of it. A sale of 40 shares of it was
made on private terms, and there was a
good demand for it at the advance. It is
quite probable the true reason of the adj
vance is that people are beginning to
learn its value and prospects of advance.
Barbarin Gas Light tlickered a little yester
day. 1t seems to be Of the oscillating sort.
Sales of but 3 shares were noted-one at

ding rate, also, last evening at the Board

In bank stock DO sales were reported,
except 100 shares Union Bank at $50, at
which rate more was offered at the board
in the evening
In city securities there were about the
usual number of sales, viz: $1,000 new
seven per cents on private terms; two lots
of $500, $4,000 and 5000 do. at 73,,, and

ON CARONDELTT STREET.

Business is improving. The Assistant
Assessor of Internal Revenue, whose di-
vision embraces the better part of Caron-
delet street, and who has Just been visit
ing the principal busin PISS houses between
that and the river, said yesterday, that
more trade has been had, by the groceries
especially, the past week, than during the
six weeks previous. The general stagna-
ton of business is o yer, though many
oscillations of trade may still occur. The
great staple of Carondelet, cotton, has
began to rise, and sales yesterday We're
extensive. Indeed, had rise not COM
menced, it would have been advisable for
dealers to have kept heir receipts in store
until bad crop or under-production
takes place, or to make their beds Of it
instead of feathers, like celebrated
English doctor, Monsey. or rather his an
cestor. The doctor u ed to say that the
first of his ancestors of any note, was a
baker and dealer In hops-who, on one
occasion, to procure ia present sum OF
money, robbed the featherbeds of their
contents, and supplied the deficiency with
unsaleable hops. In b few years severe
blight universally prevailed, hops became
very scarce, and enormously dear the
boarded treasure was ripped out, and a
good sum procured fo r hops, which, in a
plentiful season, would not have been
saleable. 'And thus, the Doctor used to

The Census.

This is a Washington special to the st.
Louis Democrat:
Notwithstanding complaints from var
ious quarters of inacouracy of the census
General Walker superintendent. places
great confidence in the returns received es-
pccially in the large cities. Tables have
been prepared in Eastern cities with view
of showing by all previous estimates of the
increase that the present figures must be
much below the truth. New York. Phila-
delphia and Baltimore have made the most
frequent complaints. AS to New York,
General Walker says that for the city
proper it is easy to see that for the last ten
years there has been great loss on account
of the rapid increase of those who are doing
business in the city and have their residence
outside the corporation limits in numerous
smaller towns within q circuit of one to
three hours ride by boat or rail. Nearly all
of these small towns show q rapid increase
and prove that there has been as great an
addition. within ten years to the popula-
ton actually averaged in New York, as tho
most sanguine have ever claimed to exist.
One main cause of loss in Philadelphia is
held at the census Office to be falling off
in most kinds of manufacturing, which in
eyitably leads to the scattering of large
| portions of the laboring element, and those
| having particular trade must go at once,
| on the Stacking of manufactures, to points
where they can be employed at the same
| labor.
In regard to Baltimore, it is believed that
| the cessation of the war is cause enough for
| the falling off which the figures of the pres
ent census show. During the war that city
| became most important commercial centre
| for large Southern territory, in fact, for
all in Virginia and on the coast held by our
| forces. Its growth during the war was out
Of all proportion to usual times. Now

THE MANHATTAN LIFE INSURANCE Con-
PANY.-We direct the attention of our read
ers to the advertisement of the above-men-
toned t1rst-class life insurance company.
which will be found in another column. this
morning. This company is represented as
general agents in this city and State by
MessTs. B. Mordccai & Son. gentlemen of
such distinguished character in commercial
circles in South Carolina that their connec-
ton with it alone is recommendation suf
ficient among such of our citizens as are ac-
1uainted with the business affairs of that
State. But to those to whom they may be
unknown. we will say that the Manhattan
Life Insurance Company is, perhaps, the
most successful of New York city. Having
a capital of over six millions of dollars it
yearly earns an income of nearly two mil
lions of dollars. In accomplishing this, it
still maintains a reputation at home for con-
servatism. and even is considered by some
as old fashioned in its ways of business.
Its maxins of business are-to explain in a
few words Keeping always a large surplus
over its liabilities reduction of expenses
and economy i'll all things: never promising
more than it can fulfill; trusting to old
established and well-tried rules in conduct
ing business, rather than to making expert
mental trials and taking outside risks Such
"a company is conducted on the right and
safe plan, let the fast people say what they
will

ALL SAINTS DAY.

A reference to the annual meteorologi-
cal chronicles Of past years will show
that clear skie. and bright suns have al
most invariably ushered in the first of
November, or, as it is individualized in
the church calendar, "All Saints Day.
This latter title many, and especially de-
vout Romanists, consider as memorial
izing exclusively those beatified spirits
who have been canonized as saints in re-
mote ages; but the majority OF people,
and in fact al sensible ones, nowadays,
consider it as applying to all saints,
whether apostles or prophets, or the
spirits of friends who, though departed
from this life. still live in remembrance,
and are indeed sainted in the hearts Of
loving survivors.
And so with this idea hundreds will
visit the ''cities of tho dead, and instead
of fashionable calls or gay promenades,
which have occupied all the other days of
the year, they will ON this day resort to
the last resting place of departed yet still
beloved friends. With extreme pleasure
they notice the friendly sun, which
| clothes in radiance the humble, grassy
hillock of the pauper, as well as the tall,
marble shaft or carved monument, which
marks the repose of the wealthy. His
genial rays have frightened the silvery
leaves and golden tips of Timmortelle
have deepened the purple of the amaranth,
! and renewed the rich hue of the ever
green.
And so we see, with wreaths in their
| hands, hundreds turning their faces to-
| ward the cemeteries. These broad, square
| fields with their high, white walls, usu-
ally SO deserted and silent, will to-day
be crowded with the multitude of our
city, and vocal with the subdued murmurs
of tender affection. A portion of the
throng will be drawn thither by curiosity
alone, but the majority will resort there to
indulge in sorrowful remembrance.
Each in solemn grief will bend before
| the darkened tomb. There within the
sacred inclosure, will be seen the pale and
pensive countenance of the bereaved wlte
or mother, who. with graceful fd(n
| clothed in the habliments of woe, droope
