The market closed firm yesterday with
sales of 975 bales, and opened firm with
an active demand to-day. Indeed, so
urgent and pressing is the demand that
buyers were in the market at seven
o'clock this morning-quite early, that,
for the gentlemen who take life so easy
and sales were made at the closing prices
of yesterday. Sellers were indifferent,
however, and anticipating an advance in
Eastern markets, were a shade higher in
prices, buyers coming to their terms
without a word. The first dispatch from
New York noted an advance Of &c, and
a later dispatch still another advance of
&c; whereupon those who had anything
like desirable lot advanced prices to
correspond, some going a fraction higher.
Sales up to noon were less than 200 bales,
including some bought early at l44c for
% bales of low middling; also, 25 bales
of ordinary to good ordinary at lite to
l3l; and later, 10 bales of low middling
at l5c, u bales of strict good ordinary
at l4sc, I bales do. at l4lc, 10 bales of
ordinary at l2sc, bales of middling at

Poisonous Medicines.

The theory that the virus OF diease can be
safely counteractcd by doses of poison, Is
false and dangerous. Within the last twenty
five years, not less than score OF virulent
poisons have been added TO the repOSi-
tory of the medical profession. They are
given in small doses, otherwise they would
destroy life Immediately; but even in mi
nute quantities they produce, ultimately,
very disastrous effects. 1t is unwise and
unphiloSophical to employ, as remedies,
powerful and inSidous drugs, which, in
Subiugating one disease, SOW the seeds of
another StillmOre unmanagcable. None OF
these terrible medcamentS operates with
as much directneSs and certainty upon
the causes of disease a. Hostettcr's Stomach

The I'enny-ItS Antiquity.

The penny is coin OF vast antiquity.
Its familiar copper shape, as may be
generally known, is comparatively
modern alteration Of the silver form in
which it was known to our foreiathers.
In the curious, though whimsical, little
work called "An Essay on the Roman
Denarius and English Silver Penny
it is shown to be derived from the
Greek drachn,G, Aegina, which has been
traced 10 date six hundred years antecC-
dent to the Christian era. The drach-
ma was afterward coined, not only in
Greece, but in Sicily, Syria and Persia.
The same coir, under the name OF de-
narius, was struck by the high consular
families during the Roman Republic,
and by the Emperors. The author OF
the work Just quoted states that it must
have been a denarius Of Tlberlus to
which Christ drew the attention OF the
Jews when answering their questions a.
to the lawfulness Of paving tribute. He
also mentions very interesting circum-
stance respecting the Aurces, or larger
gold coin Of the Roman Emperors-
namely, that in 6S5, under Justinian
H., one was struck with a head Of
Christ, giving him the usual placid
countenance, with a full round forehead,
and ringlets hanging down each side Of
the face, and the beard parted below in
the middle. From Rome the denarius
was transferred to Saxon, England, in
$50 being there coined by the Kings Of
Kent, Mercia, and the other depart
ments of the Heptarchy. Under the
rame,, of penny, and comparatively
rudey executed, it was kept up by the
Saxon, Spanish and. Norman dynasties,
in succession, and was the chief CON in
circulation down to the re On of John.
David |. is the first King of Scotland
that is known to have issued the penny
In that kingdom it continued to be
coined till the reign of James the ".
In the course of its existence from
Roman times to the present, the penny
has been gradually reduced much in
bulk. In the day OF. the republic, it
weighed two pennyweights thirteen
grains. In the reign of the Emperor
Trajan it weighed barely two penny
weights two grains. The later En-
perors reduced it nearly one-hali; and
the earliest Saxon specimens weigh
less than a pennyweight. The penny
of Edward ". was fifteen grains that
of Henry VIII. ten grains, and that Of
William ". seven grains.

The Assassin Caught.

William Schultz, aged %, the vii,
liamsburg vampire, has been caught.
The open lots in the neighborhooa OF
North Eighth and Third streets, Will
liamsburg, were covered Tuesday with
children. There were many tracts OF
smooth ice, and numbers of little girls
amused themselves with sliding over
them.
A stranger was seen to walk about
among the children and pause to chat
with them. He was short, well built
dressed in dark with a gray hat, small
blue eyes, and face shaver smooth
except as to his upper lip, which bore a
dark brown moustache.
Men stopped at the corners and
watched him. An uneasy whisper ran
from one to the other Some spoke
about the mysterious stabber who was
the terror of Williamsburg, and they
asked each other if this was the man.
He seemed startled at the crowds that
observed him, and appeared DESTROYS OF
getting away; but as he turned in
another direction he saw officer Har-
vev Mangam, who was watching him
closely. In an instant the man turned
on his heel and shot off like a rocket,
and hundred men wereAfter him.
The crowd increased in numbers and
fury at every step. Running back into
yard, he sprang down flight of stone
steps into a cellar. They rushed
through the dwelling to find their vic
tim, but the woman refused to point ont
his whereabouts until officer Mangam
demanded the key of the cellar. She
Welded then, and in a few moments the
policeman emerged from the fugitives
hiding place with the man in his grasp.
He put the "nippers' on him at
once, and held the crowd away
from him. the prisoner was per
fectly passive, except that he endeav'
ored repeatedly to thrust his right
hand into his coat pocket The police
officer noticed this movement, and fore
stalled the man by himself examining
the pocket for which he aimed. AS he
did so, his hand came in contact with
something sharp, but avoiding it, he
pulled forth a large pocket knife which
had one blade open-a blade three and
a half inches long.-Nt1c York Free

Have You Bleeding ut the

The National Income Taxa Telling
Exhibit.

In a speech recently made in the
House of Representatives, at Washing
ton, General Morgan, OF Ohio, said,
amongst many other things:
81 have prpared table showing that
if the income tax is abolished 1t will
reduce the amount Of tax collected from
Massachusetts, more than one-half, from
Virginia about one-thirty-eighth, from
Rhode Island more than one-half from
Illinois less than one-fifteenth. Yer
mont will have her taxes reduced more
than nine-tenths, Ohio one-fourteenth,
Maine more than one-half, Kentucky
less than one-twenty-third, New Hamp-
shire nearly twothirds, Missouri less
than one.eleventh, Connecticut more
than one-half, Indiana less than one
seventeenth.
Should the income tax he repealed
Ohio will pay $l4,930,625, Illinois
Sl4,275,0OO, Kentucky $S,354,0 600, Mis-
souri, S4,079,000, Virginia $4,S3I 900,
Indiana 1851 900, and the six New
England States together s., l6l, l9S.
That is, Ohio will pay more than four
times the amount of taxes paid 10y New
England Illinois will pay more than
four times the amount of taxes paid 10y
the six New England States. Kentucky
will pay more than twice the amount
OF taxes paid 10y the New England
States. Missouri will pay nearly mil
lion more taxes than paid by the New
England States. Virginia will pay
more than million OF taxes over the
amount paid by all the New England
States. Indiana will then pay more
taxes than the six States of New Eng
land And we OF the West and South
are congratulated upon this happy state
of things by the representatives of the
millionaires, the representatives OF the
bondholderS, who are not even taxed
upon the principal of their bonds. They,
too, congratulate the toiling millions
upon the fact that the bondholder is to
be relieved from the paltry tax upon
his income, and the tax which the
bondholder now pays will soon be paid
10y labor.
fthe income tax is abolished, New
England will pay 50, l6l ,l9S as the full
amount Of her internal taxes, while the
three Western and the three Southern
States which ] have named will pay
so, BIS, S9l.

The Malaria Of Spring.

Everybody should now be on their guard
against the great danger Of disease arising
from malarious causes. Fever and Ague
prevails to an alarming extent every Spring
in nearly all parts OF the country, and
many persons are easily predisposed to 1t on
account of some imprudence during the
winter months. Indeed, very much of the
sickness we notice in the Spring of the year
may be traced to causes which were en-
gendered In the "cold term" But whether
the cause lies hidden in the system or not,
it is certain that disease will develop itself
at the first opportunity, hence, no one
should hesitate for moment to set about
combating and overthrowing it. To accom-
plish this purpose, nothing is so useful and
reliable as MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS.
1t is positive antidote for any malarious
or Imprisoned atmosphere and a certain
protection against every morbid influence
which produces disease. We say in all cam
dor to our readers that they should give
heed TO our advice on this subject.
