There are about $4,000 bales of cotton await

A few years ago an ingenious gentleman
managed TO get drunk free of expense almost
daily in the streets of London by falling down
in a fit, with small placard on his breast,
Don't bleed me, but give me glass of hot
brandy and water"
The hop crop of Wisconsin in 1868 was So
600 bales, in 1869 twas only 20, 900 bales. 1t
is believed that there is in all not more than
80, 900 bales of new hops in the whole country,
and that this quantity will fall far short of the

The ceiling of the new Paris Opera House

| A thoughtful Englishman calling himself
Shakespeare, and claiming to be a descendcnt
of the poet is going about Paris collecting
funds from innocent people. He is in posses
sion of several letters (forged) from dis
tinguished writers, and does quite lively
business.
| An English paper says that DR.. Trower is
about publishing a book on the subject, of
course, of his recent encounter with DR.. Tenn
pie, and of his discontinue therein. The
name of the book is something like that of
Tenny sons new volume, namely THE Holy
GromP'.
An English paper learns that Philadelphia
drayman has invented an ingenious machine
for feeding quadrupeds in great hurry. 1t
is called an oatometer, and by its operation a
peck of oats is thrown into the animal by a
single revolution of the cylinder in minute
and quarter. 1t is thought that this won
dtfful feed-machine will enable horses to
swallow their food ten times faster than be-
fore.
The Boston Journal says: "There has been
very favorable change in the feelings of
business men within few days, and the fact
that the money market is easier will prevent
that stringency which some feared and the
croakers predicted. People are paying their
debts with great promptness, and money which
was held in reserve in the belief that higher
rates wonld be secured, is seeking investment
in sound dividend paying security. Specnla-
tors have tried hard to run gold up again, but
their plans have proved fruitless, and there is
every reason to believe that gold will not vary
much from l20 for the next six months"

THE GOLD PANIC.

The committee appointed by the House
to investigate the great gold conspiracy is
at work and find some curious facts. The
Boston Advertiser says
The committee began at the beginning and
has already got testimony relating to things
that took place during the evening before that
cventful Friday. Fisk, Gould, Corbin and
other conspirators are stated to have met in
secret conference at that time to perfect their
plans. Fisk is said to have proposed great
well-dispayed advertisement in all the morn
ing papers setting forth that they had control
of one hundred and eighteen millions of gold,
being al there was outside the Treasury
that they were strong enough to take all the
government might offer that all contractors
who appeared for settlement before three
O'Clock could make terms on the basis of gold
at one hundred and sixty, and that figure
even higher than this would be charged those
who failed to settle prior to that hour. One
witness says this plan would probably have
been adopted but that the consPirators feared
violence from the mob. The idea of forcing
gold to one hundred and sixty was acted on,
however. and the whole days operation till
the smash occurred were based on Fisks
scheme. There are some things in the evil
dence that look bad for Judges Barnard and
Cardozo. Injunctions of such diverse char
acter appeared in such rapid succession that
some persons are suspicious they were pre-
pared beforehand and held in readiness to
meet any possible emergency. This could
hardly have been the case unless the judges
were also in the ring. Whether Buttcrfeld
was not in the ring the members of the COM
mittee do not yet say. They want Corbin,
but have not yet been able to find him with a
summons. A number of the leading business
men of New York want the committee to find
some way for breaking up this dreadful in
junction business Of their city judges. They
say it puts legitimate enterprise of all kinds
at the mercy of the gamblers in gold and
stocks, and if not checked must ultimately
end in the formation of vigilance committees.
