S. ]. Slime, formerly of "a Public Square,
has removed to the new and elegant build
ing 80 Public Square, where he has associ-
ated with him the affable Mr. Birmingham,
and fitted up one of the most complete
family and fancy groceries that any city af-
fords. As we have tried Mr.. Slime, we
know whereof we speak when we say he
keeps good groceries and sells them at low
prices. His assortment of wines we do not
suppose can be excelled in the city, as he
is a Judge OF such things, and tries to get
the article that will make it to his custom
ers' advantage to buy from him more than
once.
If you wish to get fine furniture at low
prices 90 to McKoin & Co., on College
street, as he has all kinds to suit the taste
of all. Read the city notice.
In the regular column of advertisements,
is tho card of Averitte & Roper, wholesale
and retail grocers, Broad street As they
are SO well known as business men, we do
not know that we can say more than what
their good department speaks for itself
The Stacey House is nowiopened for the
reception of guest.
Agents, read city notice, and get bust
ness to make money.
One Of the leading features as well as
direct evidences of the increasing business,
enterprise and prosperity of Louisville,
is the removal of so many of her largest
and best firms into finer and more spa
cious buildings. Prominent among these
e is the ole and extensively known firm OF
Messrs. A. V. Du Pont & Co., who, to ac-
commodate their increased business, have
just moved into their new quarters, at No.
1S4 Main street-one of the largest ware
houses in the city.
Their mill, near the Falls, like the ia
nous Artesian Well which was bored under
their direction, is one Of the institutions Of
Louisville, and has furnished paper for the
South and West for over a quarter of q
century, and Du Pont & Co., are now pre-
pared to make Louisville the chief market
in the country for all qualities and varie-
ties of paper and such material.
The Southern Farmer, the standard ag-
ricultural newspaper of the State, is now
offering inducements to subscribers, which
you can learn from their advertisement on
the second page of this issue. As they have
such large circulation and the only lead
ing agricultural paper in the State, adver,
tisers might find it greatly to their advan.
tage to insert their cardsin it.
The National Savings Company, corner
Union and College streets, are doing a reg
ular banking and exchange business. They
receive deposits and allow interest thereon;
they buy and sell exchange on New York,
Liverpool, &C.; they furnish drafts on Lon
don, Dublin, and all parts of Germany, and
they keep constantly on hand every variety
of bonds for investment.

THE NEGRO SENATOR FROM MIS-
SHSSIPPI-LIONIZI JEFF DA-
WIS, SETCrESSnR 4

The negro Senator from Mississippi is
being lionized to an extent that promises
to eclipse all our attentions to Prince
Arthur. This evening he was to have
been serenaded, but it was deemed best
to postpone the matter fer few days,
until arrangements can be made for q
grand turnout of the admirers of the new
Senator, white and black. As a negro
said tonight, "We is gwine to hab some
thing fitting de OCCASION In lieu of the
serenade George t. Downing gave good
dinner to Mr.. Revels at his residence this
evening Besides the distinguished Sena-
tor elect there were present Senator Viii
son, Senator Harris, William D. Kelley,
Mayor Bowen, ID. w. Bartlett, cores
pondent of the New York Independent.
w. A. Cook, Corporation Attorney of
Washington; General Ames and the entire
Mississippi delegation, with number OF
the most prominent negro politicians Of
this District making altogether about
forty persons. The dinner was of The
most recherche character, and every
honor was paid the distinguished success
sor of jeff Davis. There were nc
speeches, those being reserved for The
serenade, but the company engaged il
lively conversation and remained until {
late hour listening to words of wisdom
from the lips of the sable Senator from

Stars in the Convention.

1t was pleasurable and enjoyable yester-
day to see the sweet, gorgeous and undy-
ing sunshine in the Convention that glowed
all around and about us in the outer world
Love-llt eyes and glowing cheeks, fit
wreaths for souls to blossom in, were
there. The beauteous representatives of
Weakley, Giles and other counties, we're in
a bevy of loneliness grouped together in
a bOquet of soul-fowers, such as never
bloom outside of the South. There was
scarce room for politics or other matters,
the large hall being redolent and glowing
with the loneliness of Tennessee's fairest
daughters. Among them were Miss is,
of Pulaski, whose morning smile rises over
the hearts horizon ike aurora itself, and
under the tread of whose little foot the
very violets exhale softer perfume, and
Miss E-e, in the liquid blue of whose eye
a thousand hearts have foated off into
dream land. There were a number of our
fairest daughters present, outvieing in their
Respondent beauty the famed sorceress of
the Nile, and in their chasteness the tints
on the leaves of the rose Of Sharon. The
Convention would sit forever with such
company, and we would be willing mem

How TO Dispose OF the EIeph'

How 10 Dispose OF the Elephant
Toronto, Feb "A special dispatch
from Ottawa for the Globe, says the
Government has decided not to pay any
money to the Hudson Bay Company unit
about they 18th of May next, when the
transfer of the Territory to Canada will
take place.
Meantime it is said the Imperial govern,
ments holds that the Hudson Bay Company
are responsible for the administration of
government at Red river. AS they have
really taken no steps to assert their au,
thority, they will have to bear all theil
loss without any claim for compensation
to be paid by Canada.
1t is reported that the Cabinet have re-
ceived dispatches from Earl Granville, by
cable, taking this view. Imperial troops
and Canadian volunteers are expected to
reach Red river by the first of July next.

New York IVY Goods Market.

Nesv York Dry Goods Market
The New York Independent of the I'd
inst. says;
No important changes have taken place
in the dry goods market since our last re-
port; but very satisfactory state of feel
ing is gradually developed, which indicate
a lively spring business. Prices are gen.
orally firm, and in some cases there has
been a small advance, while the volume OF
purchases from first hands has considerably
increased. It is very gratifying to learn,
too, that the merchants at the West are
generally paying up now, and it IS pretty
generally conceded that the prospect Is
much brighter than 1t was the earlier part
of the month. In domestic cotton there is
marked improvement in the demand, with
a naturally upward tendency of the mar
ket The demand for seasonable woOllens
is also better.
There has been rather sharper demand
for unbleached shirtings and sheetings,
and prices of certain makes have advanced
half cent yard. The manufacturers APP
pear to be confident of higher prices as the
season advances, but they are willing,
though not anxious, to sell at the current
rates.. Amoskeag and Stark standards
are held at 16 cents; Indian Head, 16c;
st. Lawrence, o., 153c; Medford, 15c;
Laurel II, 1itc.
There is more improvement in bleached
shirtings and sheetings, and prices may be
reported frmer, without any actual ad-
vance, but higher rates are anticipated by
the large holders, and they will probably
not be disappointed. New York Mills are
sold at 22Bc "A Utica fine nonpareils 21o,
A Lonsdale cambria muslin 24c, "A
Lonsdale lie.
As the season advances, the sales of
prints are considerably increased and
prices are frmer. There is a good stock
of new spring styles Offering, and many of
them have proved very attractive and salts
factory to the trade There is no depart
ment Of domestic manufacture in which
greater degree Of Improvement has been
manifested than in prints. Some of our
leading jobbers are offering the lower grades
of prints at exceedingly cheap rates, which
approximate the prices current before the
war Such prices may attract customers;
but we fear that they do not afford mar
gin for profit, except to the retailer

A burly negro man, named Bud Perry,
became very disorderly and rambunctious
on Thursday night. In a rowdy-like and
maudlin mood he forced himself into apart
ments where he was not wanting, and
would stay, as he said. He cut and
slashed things generally, but he didn't
stay. The police were after him with a
sharp stick. He was taken in and thor
oughly done for, as the laws direct. The
Recorder made him fork oveg $40 in the
court yesterday morning, which wiz, it is
hoped, improve his morals and settle him
down to the conviction that he should not
go where he Is an unlimited guest.
