SAvAGE,--We have before us one of
those cases of cruelty, to which, we are
glad to say many of our people are stran-
gers. The Culpepper Observer contains
an account of the late Memorial ceremonies
which, from its character, leaves US to
conclude its Editor is some sour, crusty.
heartless creature, devoid of that feeling of
charity SO ennobliug in man, and which
always commands the admiration and
respect of our worst enemies. 1t charges
that the beautiful Federal Cemetery, at
Culpepper, is filled with the bones of Mur-
rain Coscs-Federal and Confederate
dead, and attempts to ridicule the pro-
ceedngs of the day, when large numbers
OF strangers, came from distance to nav
honor to the dead, who sleep there. Such
productions are savage and cruel and can
harm no one, except the author of them.
Contrast the conduct Of the Enquirer and
the speech of Major Stiles, referring to
similar occasion here, and learn from them
that it is more noble to let the dead sleep
in peace, than it is TO rdicule and ieer at
them.

A BRIGHT OUTLOOK.

1t looks to US as though the financial re-
vulsion which has been predicted ever
since the beginning of the late war must
be once more removed to some point in the
future not yet plainly discernible. In
other words, there is every indication of
such revival of business activity as has
not been known for many years Railroad
enterprises Of vast extent are taken I'D by
capitalists with a readiness entirely unpre-
cedented. While the Northern Pacific is
hopefully pushed by its friends, and the
Union Pacific is about to have new out
let for its traffic from Ogden to the Pacific
coast, there is no difficulty apprehended in
providing all the means wanted to push
the Southern or Texas Pacific with the
greatest energy.
The possibilities Of railroad building de-
veloped by the demonstrated adequacy of
narrow gauge roads to all the purposes of
traffic and travel have started up in various
sections a whole brood of new enterprises
that would not otherwise have been con-
sidered. The prospect now is that in ten
years there will be constructed and in
operation in the United States as many
miles of narrow gauge as there are now of
wide gauge track. Millions of acres of
valuable mineral and agricultural land
will be brought into development by these
cheap roads that otherwise would have
been virtually isolated. The narrow
gauge roads will perform to the broad
gauge trunk lines the same offices as the
veins do to the arterial system, and will
our system of internal circula-
tion.
There seems to be no trouble in raising
money for these works. The capitalists of
The Old World see that the United States
alone is secure against destructive wars, aud
our faithful adherence to our financial OBJ
igations has won their confidence. More
'ver, the mere fact that every foreign cap
talist who has invested in American Sc
urities during the past eight years has
made more money out of them than from
my other like investments is the potential
rgument that is sending over here all the
money we ask for
We are entering on an era of rapid ma
erial development that will astonish the
roakers and will make prosperous times
Or at least decade to come.

were no little amused while passing down
Main street Saturday afternoon, at q scene
which attracted our attention. A small coll
ored boy was engaged in putting away load
OF coal oy shoveling it into coal receiver,
had almost finished the job and was resting
lazily upon his shovel. Coming up the street
was well-dressed and cheerful looking white
boy, accompanied by his sister, the former of
whom seemed to be known to the coal ,heayer.
who said "Say, Tommy, don't you want to
make dime?" Chow ?" said Tommy. "I

Tommy declined and passed on in silence. So

oENsIBLE WITNEss.--This morning, a
case was up before Justice White, charging
certain party with keeping disorderIy and
ili.governed house. witness for the Cons
monwealth was sworn, and asked what he
knew of the character of the gentleman, and
house; he owes me thirteen dollars and sixtv
cents, and If he will pay that, don't care
cuss what you do with him." Sensible! His
vile, who was charged with "ainging" brick
at another woman, was let off, by paying a
fine of 81. The woman, whose head had been
selected as target, failed to appear, owing,
as stated by one of the witnesses, to the fact,
that she had an old hen setting, and exneoted
to hatch this morning. On examining the
eggs, one of them exploded, driving considera-
Die OF its contents into her eye, from which
she suffered so much she could not attend,
II Justice White don't have some hard cases

In 1860 the receipts were %, S2l tierces
and 1870 kegs, and the exports equal to
1924 tierces.
BEEF.-Tne receipts embrace 2S,003 bbls
and tierces, against 81, 43l last year, showing
a decrease of 1923, and still greater falling
OF from 1862, when they were Al ,321.
Tierces reduced to barrels, the exports COM
prise 34,405 bbls, against 43,i-I last year.
and IS, ESQ the year before, and embraced
3S7 to Great Britain: 81 10 Cuba; l62 to
foreign gulf ports; - to Baltimore, and 3d.
625 to New York. the bulk of which was for
transhipment TO Liverpool. There has been
no time when buyers for export, at salts
factory prices, could not have been found in
this market, but the receipts consisted either
of lots bought of the packers on foreign ac
count, or shipped TO New York by the for
mer TO avail of that market, or ship to Liver
pool, according to circumstances. The local
consumption is mainly confined to ship
stores. and is too trivial to make market.
The receipts have been mostly from Texas.
BUTTER.-A large part OF the demand for
consumption has been supplied by the pro-
duets OF the Northern dairies, but the re-
ceipts of Western show considerable in
crease, comprising 1864 packages, against
81 $50 last year, and p, IA the year before.
Very little has been exported, nearly the
whole supply being required to meet the
local demand Prices have exhibited the
usual irregularity, according to the season

The exports have been to gulf ports &c. 595

confined to 63 bbls to Mexico, etc, 172 to

fined to $50 coils, against 1854 last year.

has been superseded by iron ties.
KENTUCKY BAGGING.-The receipts en-
brace %, l23 pieces, against 24,9ll last year.
Prices have shown considerable steadiness.
INDIA BAGGING.-This article, which con-
tinues most in use for covering cotton, has
shown fair degree OF activity. The year
commenced with stock on hand of 1891
bales, against 1867 III 1869, 5000 in 1868. and
$500 in 1867. The market closed last August
at 32le a :33c, since which 1t has shown vari-
GUS fluctuations, closing yesterday at lSla q
I9c in rolls and lyle q zoe in bales
IRON COrToH TIEs-The year commenced
with a stock of 100000 bundles, which it
was alleged would be sufficient for mil
lion and three-quarters bales OF cotton and
showed a remarkable excess over the pre-
yious year. when the stock was estimated
at IS 200 bundles. The market closed yester-
day at a 51ec.
CoFFEE-TLe coffee year expires June
80, and the annual statements furnished by
Messrs. LOnsdale, Marks & Co. and Messrs.
Small Il Co give full particulars of the
movement of the market up to that date.
The principal features in these exhibits are
that while, during the year under review,
the imports at New York increased only
1892 bags, there had been an increase al
New Orleans of o.. 203 but that we are still
very far behind our former relative position
in the United States trade. For many years
before the war New Orleans imported about
oue.third of the total imports from Brazil;
in 1861 only 9 per cent, in 1S69-70 over
10 per cent, and in lS70-7l more than 1874
per cent. In the meantime Baltimore has
nearly reached New York in the extent of
her trade, the imports at the three ports
and all other ports being as follows:

The amount taken Tor consumption anu
shipment is set down at - packages,
against 52,737 last year, but the sales re-
ported sum up only -.
LARD.-Both the receipts and the exports
of lard show a gratifying increase, pre-
senting in this respect an agreeable contrast
to other leading articles of Western pro-
duce. The receipts embrace as, All tierces,
against %, $50 last year, showing an excess
of 554 per cent, and 51,7SS kegs, against
81. 346, an excess Of over l24 per cent; and
the exports 1884 tierces (all packages re
duced to tierces), against 6o28, an excess OF
over 1861 per cent. The latter embrace
1908 to France, gu to Great Britain, 6l63 to
Cuba, 1922 TO other foreign ports mostly
gulf, only So TO New York, and ElS6 to other
United States ports mostly gulf. This
shows sensible progress in our return to the
good old time when New Orleans was one
of the largest lard exporting cities IN Amer
lea Whenever the West has q sufficient
surplus to provide us a working stock, in
stead of merely supplying the demand for or
local consumption, foreign buyers Will
promptly come forward at fair prices,
freights, exchange and the markets on the
other side considered In sympathy with the
other products of the hog, prices have eX-
hibited a pretty general downward tendency,

ExcHAsGE.-The rates of foreign exchange
have been controlled by the course of gold,
and the bills at New York, which in their
turn have been mainly influenced by the
price of United States bonds at London.
Upon the whole they have exhibited I'M
usual steadiness, the extremes being 1888
and l27, against 1l8A and l46 last year.
The highest point was at the commencement
OF the year, when the market was quoted
at 1860 III, and the lowest on the fourteenth
of December, when the quotations were
1883 a ll8B The tendency was steadily
downward until the eighth of October,
when the quotations were l20ls a. 2l,
showing a falling off during the pre-
ceding six weeks of 51s 06 " cent.
In the rest of that month they ranged from
l2001 201a to l2l0 l2lls, closing at the
former; in November from 1854 9ll9 to
l2l a III IL, closing at the forner; in Decem-
Der from 1884 691lSa4 to 1874 a 1894, clos
Ing at 1IJU Il9i4: IN january from lIos4 %

from 100 a 12019 to 1904 al 1914, closing at
the former; in April from l2O4 q 1908 to
12i le a 10, closing at 1911 a 1919; in May
from 12t4e a 122 to 1929 1891, closing at

from 1924 a 1924 to l24l4 q l24A, closing at
the former. and during the past month from

For more precise details of the above. va
riatiOns we refer to the table of the Liver
pool market, freights and exchange, in the
cotton report.
Since the resumption of active CONNER
cial intercourse with France, francs have
ruled at about the parity of sterling, but
the supply has been limited.
Domestic exchanges was quoted, on Sep
TENDER |, at IS per cent premium for bank
checks on New York, but By the close of the
month it declined to u Early in October
the market fell to par, and for the ensuing
six weeks ruled at "a discount, but by the
close of November declined to " a IS, which
was the lowest point. The rate then stead
lily improved rising to 20 discount by the
middle OF December, and to " at the close
of that month. 1t then receded to A, but
early in March rose to par y discount,
later in that month to Is a "A premium, and
by the middle of April to % premium, at
which the market continued steady until
the early part of the month when it was
quoted at Il a %. These quotations are for
bank checks. Commercial bills have ruled
at about the usual difference.
