THE Bitter BIT.-A curious anecdote is re.
lated of violin maker, so skillful in his trade
that he could initiate an old violin to per-
fiction. One day, a fiddler, more eminent
than honest, brought him a tine Crencna,
and said, with sly twinkle in his eye. Mr..
-. | want you to make nae an exact copy
of this Amati." The maker, who knew to
whom the fiddle belonged and guessed the
object, promised to have it ready in two
months. At the end of the time the player
came, paid the money and received two
violins; but when he got home and examin-
ed them closely, he found they were both
counterfeits, the clever imitator having kept
the true Amati for himself-COynhSU Maga-
zine.

her completely senseless. Mr.. Banks was
also momentarily stunned, but recovered In

We reproduce this from the st. Louis Re
publican that our merchants may see how
they lose their customers:
Not the least important of the commercial
events OF this year, in relation to st. Louis
interests has been the establishment OF reg
ular lines of steamers to the various tribu-
taries of the Mississippi in the South. We
have heretofore noticed the inauguration OF
lines to the Red, Arkansas, and other rivers,
and now note the establishment of Il regular
weekly line to the Ouachita, the first boat OF
which, the Mary Mcdonald, will leave us
soon az navigation is opened. The Ouachita
river penetrates /; country of great richness
which, drawing its supplies through the
ports of Monroe, Trenton and Camden, has
heretofore, for lack of direct communities
ton with the producing regions, been
obliged to pay extra prices for pork, corn,
-four, ETC., to meet the necessary commits
sons for handling, etc, at New Orleans.
This line will bring the producers OF cotton,
ETC., in Louisiana in direct connection with
the packing. milling and other interests
here. and can not fail to add large direct
demand to the trade OF this city.

The Baton ROuge Victims.

Ringgod.
Since writing our account Of the bloody
riot enacted here on the night OF election,
Joseph L'Official. the Republican nominee
for the House of Representatives, shot
through the body. has, as anticipated, died.
Another victim has gone to swell the list
of colOred men murdered by the ruthless
hand of the assassin. and for no other
reason than that he choose 10 exercise his
own choice, politically.

Naval Preparations Active.

New YORK, November l5.-Orders have
been received at the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
from the Navy Department at Washington.
to fit out for sea, with all possible dispatch,
the frigate Minnesota. a tirst-rate, OF torty-siy
guns, and 5000 tons; the frigate Tennessee,
second rate, of twenty-three guns, and 2l35
tous. and the Shawmut fourth rate, of three
guns and 14l0 tons. In consequence OF
this order there are signs OF unusual activ-
itv in the ward. and it is more than likely
that an additional force of workmen will
be taken or 10 complete the work al the
earliest possible day. Those workmen who
have been discharged Will be replaced by
more efficient men. There arc two hundred
and fifty experienced oIkmen in the yard.
The Tennessee is almost ready to go into
commission. She has been coaled, and is
ready TO receive her guns and provisions.
The Minnesota has yet great deal OF
work to be done on her before she can float
oct OF the dry docks and receive her spars
and rigging. Now only her lower masts
are standing. The Minnesota can not be
ready for sea under two months at the least,
and probably not then. The Shawmut IS
still on the stocks, having been almost en-
tirely rebuilt. She will be ready for launch
ing in few days, and can be made ready
tor sea in two months, if necessary. Work
will lie pushed ahead on her till she is COM
pleted. It IS understood that orders have
been given 10 the commanders OF the Bos-
ton, Portsmouth. Philadelphia and Norfolk
navv-yar,ls to tit out with expedition several
ships Of first and second rates. NO less than
twelve vessels OF various classes are to be
put in sea going condition at once. Work
i 10 be suspended on the Susquehanna.
Albany. Hartford. Roanoke, Gettysburg and
Minnesota as soon as they leave the dry
dock. None Of the above-named vessels
are vet COMPLETED.
