noble son, our aftliction here is scarcely
less than your own. So much ofpromised
usefulness to ones country, and Of bright
hopes for ones self and friends, have
never been so suddenly dashed as in his fall.
In size, in years, and in youthful appear:
ance q boy only, his power TO command
men was surprisingly great This power,
combined with a fine intellect and indom.
liable energy, and taste altogether mill
tary, constituted in him, Us seemed to me,
the best natural talent In that department
l ever knew. And yethe was singularly
modest and deiercntial in social inter.
course. My acquaintance with him be-

1t was as intense as the disparity of our
ages, and my engrOssing engagements,

have no indulgences or pastimes, and l
never heard him utter Il proIane or IN in
temperate word. What was conclusive

his life, he meant for them no less than

In the hope that it may Bono intrusion

venturedto address you this tribute to the
memory Of my young friend and your
brave and early fallen son.

Is beyond all earthly power. Sincerely
your friend in a common atfliction,

The first business Of importance was
the annual address Of tho President, de.
livered by Mrs. Hazlett. Committees
were appointed on rules, resolutions, ap-
pointment Of officers and revision Of tho
constitution.
Miss Anthony being called for spoke q
few minutes, urging chiefly that the wo.
men engaged in Reinforcement should aim
to hold the balance of power between the
two great parties Of the land, and not con-
tent themselves with joining either the
Republican or Democratic organizations.
She spoke Of the experiment which was
being tried in Wyoming Of entrusting
women with the ballot, and characterized
1t as q success. So with regard to their
acting as jurors and in the capacity Of JUS

INTERESTING TO TIE LADrEs.-A bal
loon letter received at Bordeaux discusses
Paris fashions Quiet colors are in favor,
and the use Of jewelry Is dispensed with.
This is q, delicate homage paid to the
mourning and grief Of those who have
lost friends and kindred. "Paris," the
writer maintains, in spite Of adversely,
win not cease to dictate to the whole
world the supreme laws Of elegance and
good taste" Victor Hugo might Ehave
written that sentence; but only some
young Miss with flowing tresses could
have written this: "Taking advantage Of
tho flight Of certain personages who had
gray, thin, or red hair, and who inflicted
on fashion their indispensable false hair,
our Partisan ladies have all at once re-
stored TO liberty their own locks, so long
hid under the despotic, artificial chignon.
Brown pIaits, carefully smoOthed down,
light ringlets, at once graceful and natur-
al, have alone adorned for some days the
ielicate and pretty heads 6f our young
ladies, who are delighted to have their
most beautiful adOFnment restored to
them" .5...sga5 f.'ii ~

Financial and Commercial.


H#
From NsN. 7. Financial Chronicle Of Saturday.
The bond market has shown rather
healthier tone. The hope that the COM
plications between Russia and England
might be peacefully settled has kept the
foreign markets more bouyant, and the
home market has responded TO this i'm.
proved feeling, prices at tho close being
about per, cent above our last figures.
The low prices to which bonds have late.
ly declined have rendered them more &C.
ceptable to a class of home investors, who
seem to have determined that current
quotations about represent the bottom
prices, except under some paniCky emcr-
gency. At current prices, sixty-seven
bonds cost only 107 ex-interest which,
taking the average of the last eighteen
months, IS an exceptionally low price, and
places Governments in favorable posi-.
tion for competing with other securities
It appears to be mainly from this fact
that we must account for a slightly i'm
proved demand, and for the further faCt
that the Treasury purchase ofto-day drew
out offers of only $2,983,00O, the lowest
total offered for many weeks past. The
rise in prices is the more noticeable from
the fact that gold has declined during the
week about per cent.
It is to be remarked, however, in this
connection, that the important decline in
flve.twenty bonds has been chiefly brought
about by tho anticipation on the part Of
holders that they may possibly be paid of
in short time, with the proceeds of a
new loan bearing a lower rate Of interest,
and 1t Is this element of uncertainty now
tainting all the issues of five.twenties
which makes them sell ut prices fully Z
per cent below what U. S. Q per cent
bond ought at all times to be worth. un-
certainty Us to Its terms or the date
OF It's maturity cannot fail 10 make
any security unpopular with investors,
and q bond having only two or three
years to run, but with period Of maturi-
ty definitely known, would probably be a
more popular security than the five
twenties are at present. In view of these
facts, II is important 10 the holders Of
bonds to ascertain as soon as possible
what course is to be pursued in regard 10
the payment Of their securities. w

A CUSTOM OF THE CoUNTRY-0ne Of
the Wise Men of the East-was 1t Louis
Agassiz G-said, when he first came here,
that one Of the amazing things which he
found in America was, that no set Of men
could get ettogether to do anything, though
there were but five ofthem, unless they
first "drew up constitution" If ten
men of botany met in a hotel in Switzer-
land to hear paper on the habits Of Tellia
Guilielmensis, they satdown and heard 1t.
But If nine men Of botany here meet to
hear a paper read on Shermania Roger
lana, they have to spend the first day,
first ina temporary organization, then In
appointing committee to draw d consti'

IMPROVED Misunderstanding to a

IMPROVED Notwithstanding TO q
recent writer on the subject, it is stated
that the disadvantages Of the ordinary
kinds Of mortar at present in use, arise
chiefly from their being made Of an in
ierior sand, and the great difficulty in OBJ
tanning good sand at a moderate price.
He therefore suggests an improved ma
terial, which requires no sand, and which
only needs to be mixed with water. To
prepare one ton Of this mortar, 22S
pounds Of lime, (either quicklime or
slaked,) 1,72S pounds Of Stag, and 1874
pounds Of calcined coal shale clay are TO
be ground by machinery; and when
brought to a powder, or a proper degree
of fneness, are to be mixed with water,
and the mortar will be ready for Use. :
