KNOXVILLE, September 10, 1870.
Tho jobbing trade OF the city is fairly active, with
good stocks offering at low prices Country merchants
will, they have in the past find it to their interests
to buy goods in this market.
The grain market is still void Of animation, and SO
far see, the prospects ofthe future not fiat
tcring. large proportion Of the whso shipped from
East Tennessee his season, went TO the Richmond
market, 40 the opening Of the season. hc Richmond
mills sent large orders for wheat, and uer
chants canyassed the country by agents soliciting
sienmert This stimulated dealers to buy at prices
above value and also stimulated farmers TO hold their
wheat at war prices. The wheat citheri transit
or contracted for when prices declined. Mcrs with
drew their ORDERS and shippers have TO suffer the dc
cline. In many instances the wheat sold in good
faith by the commission merchant hut before delivery
a further decline took place, and for some imaginary
defect the wheat rejected and thrown back to be
sold again at less price. Now, part and large part
Of this delay and loss is attributable to the condition
in which the wheat is offered and therefore is the fault
of the farmer If wheat is uniform and always dry
and Clean purchasers could this prcext to bear
down prices We therefore repeat our oft repeated i'd
monition: Prepare your grain, and put il into markc

The FUTURE OF ENTHUSIASTICALLY
-U0rE tame ECprcss, after enumeratng all
the favorable thing that can be said of the
general bread malet, thus concludes its
speculatiOns:
80 BE this, however, as it may. n pro-
lOngcd war on the Continent must cventu-
ally affect the price Of wheat. 1t is, in the
first place, impossible but that the ma
neuVres Of such immense armies as are
now in the ficld-and which are likely to
increase in numbers rather than other
wise-musJ unayoidably interfere with the
operations of husbandry, a. well as with
every other industrial occupation. This
IL Will be said, is q future consideration, 50
far a. "a supply Of bread corn i, concerned
but TO this we must add the waste and ex-
ira consumption OF war, which, on 40 large
a scale, cannot be an uuimpOrtaut item i'm
the scale Of supply. 1t therefore appears
10 us, that, unless repeated and greater
reverses shauld tend TO put am end 70 the
contest, prices must necessarily rule higher
a- the war proceeds. The Americans re-
port a large deficiency in the corps Of some
of the best producing States, and

Wasn't Afraid Of Indians.

A friend of ours. who took trip
to California, said that he was not
afraid of Indians, because he belong
ed to the Benevolent Order of Red
Men. and knew all the pass words and
winks, and all the fi5urative language
and things, and no savage was going
to touch him, initiated and fixed up as
he was in regalia. He, hadn't gone
more than hundred miles from Oma-l
ha before band of Indians came at
him and scooped him up. He took
the chief aside and whispered the
password in his ear, and gave him the
grip twenty-six times on both hands,
and made some observations about
"fifth-moons" and "happy hunting
grounds y The chief replied in a
friendly manner by tomahawking him
and iabbing his butcher knife into his
vitals Our friend remarked that
these ceremonies were not observed in
his lodge, but the chief wanted to
show him all the peculiaritiss of the
Western system, so he scalped him
and chopped off his nose, and was
about to build bonfire on his stom-
ach, when some soldiers arrived and
rescued him. He is now bald-head-
ed Red Man this side of the Pacific
Ocean, and you never saw a person 80
disgusted with secret societies and In
dian poet y. = He is going to sue his
lodge for passing counterfeit grip on
him, and for damage done by loss of
his hair. .3-. 5.f .a--1s.1 -.

HOW BECAME A BRAKEMAN,
And What Became of IT.

To whom can riches give repute and
trust,
Cont. mt or pleasure, but the good and
just
Judges and senates have been bought
for gold; . .-...-
Esteem and love are never to be sold.
........ Pope.
At the time wherein my simple
story commences, had just returned
from the Office of the railroads, having
applied, and applied successfully, for
the responsible, respectable, and, as
times go, the tolerably well paid situa-
tion OF q brakeman.
The situation, l repeat, is respect
able one, yet not exactly to the liking
Of one who but few months before
dashed IN his own, buggy, after a
pair OF last nags, down the Blooming
dale road--who eschewed any others
than Bajour's kids, sported diamond
studs, and was throwing the bucks Of
the Avenue into commissions of envy
with the patterns of his waistcoats.
All these were mine, and yet l became
brakeman. -.....-.... .... .,-....
OF course when I applied for the
situation-with a letter of introduction
from a former clerk of my father, now
we'll to do merchant up town.
took good care to stroke my incipient
mustache with that delicately white
hand of mine. Of course, I alluded
incidentally to the former greatness,
to speak more correctly, to tn, former
wealth of my family. OF course, |
took it for granted the president would
not consent to debase me by making
me brakeman, but would appoint
me his private secretary. Alas the
unromantic, matter of-fact official, in
stead of shedding tears at my misfor-
tunes-instead of endeayoring to
soothe my lacerated feelingg-scan-
ned me from head to foot, and said:
"Well, you are not exactly cnap
we care to employ, but as my friend
Mr. Brown recommends you, we'll try
you. Come to morrow morning and
mind, young, man, 10 be here at eight
o'clock to a second" .......

"Have YOU a sister ?"

J
"I had one; but have not heard of
her for many years, nor do 1 know
whether she is. dead or alive"
"She married beneath her station
in society, did she not ?" said the
stranger, with a slight ilony il his
voice.
.'I was told so,nr replied I, hardly
able to suppress a laugh as looked
upon the word Conductor" ON my
cap. "But slr," I added, sit would
not beseem me to make this charge
against her."
There is pride of humiliation with
avengeance," answered my companion,
laughing with that hearty laugh which
is the exclusive attribute of whole soul
ed men. "Just wait a moment, broth
er Reginald" added he, ard left me
puzzled and not able to makeanytbing
out of it. n. ~
In few moments my new acquain-
lance returned, leading a matronly,
but still handsome lady. The next
moment my long lost sister sobbed
tears of joy on my bosom.
Need I-tell more !? My newly-found
brother-in-law was specimen of that
race of men, of purely American
stamp, who make thems VT
no other patronage than their own in
dustry, perseverance and indomnitable
will .--.........
Mr.. Mason, for that Is my brother
in-law's name, after his marriage and
repudiation by my father, sailed with
his bride to California. There, by
hard labor in the mines, coupled with
Yankee spirit of ofinvention, he accumu
lated a considerable. fortune. Then,
opening in San Francisco store, he
tenfold increased his wealth. and now
returned to enjoy in his native State
the otiwna cum dignitate to which his
life and hardships and unremitting la
Dor entitled him.
Having broken all connection with
his former home, he knew nothing of
TIE misfortunes of our family, Elise
they would not have happened, if it
had cost the last dollar !" said he,
when relating his story.
On reaching New York, and find
ing that his wife's parents were dead,
he put an advertisement in the papers,
that ''if Augustus Reginald Etcetera
will apply to Messrs. Cheatem & Cat
chem, Attorney and Counselors at
law, he will hear Of something to his
advantage" 81 iLi
But as 1 seldom if ever read the ad-
vertIsing columns, as I dropped my
family name, and as my former ac-
quaintances knew nothing of my
whereabouts, 1 owed this happy meet
ing to chance, and, let me add, with
honest pride and integrity. @
How my Kate laughed and cried,
and laughed again, when told her
the story; how my hearty brother in
law hugged her, how the old Cali
forniau swere he has broken himself
of swearing since-that Kate would
make his wife's bonnet for our we'd
ding; how she did make it; how he
paid her FIVE thousand dollars for it
how he bought me a house for the
like sum, and stocked for me variety
store, with milliners counter on the
opposite side of the same; how he
made Kate blush . at the wedding
breakfast table; how we had trip to
Niagara, without asking any superin-
tendent for leave of absence; how
our two boys and girl shout when
Uncle Ben Mason nes to see IS all
these, properly, have nothing to do
with story, but this has, for it is its
moral:
"That he who believeth. and iveth
up to his faith, will find his reward,
even here below"
