D0ings Of Lecturers.

Cough is in New Jersey Up to
this season his engagements have been
nearly $500. He has travelled over
3+3 900 miles in America alone
During the two visits of FIVE years
which he made in Great Britain and
Ireland, he travelled $4,000 miles and
spoke l 100 times. Before visiting
lie had spoken on temperance 222 times,
al 367 times altogether. His first
written lecture was delivered in London
in 1860. He told the audience then,
that if they did not like it, he would at
cree destroy it. He labored hard dur
ing the first year or two of his work,
giving in one year, 3S3 addresses, 90 Of
which were gratuitous. For number
he received but IS cents, and the high
Il rate paid was five dollars. In 709
lectures he paid his own expenses. A
man Boosting but one sick day since
1916 may well be successful, and We
may not marvel at John B. Coughs
magnetism.
Matilda Fletcher, a Western orator,
who made very effective speeches for
Grant during the campaign, is in Bos-
ton, making engagements. She speaks
this week in New York State.
George William Curtis new lecture
is said to be the best he has ever given.
George Macdonald, though entirely
recovered from his late illness, will re
duce the number of his lectures, for
some time.
John Montesquien Bellev, a famous
speaker, preacher and public reader,
whose name is a household word in
England, Scotland and Ireland, is COM
ing here in February to give miscellane
Gus readings from the poets, dramatists
and humorists. He will probably make
a tour of the States, and return to Eng
land early in the Spring to resume his
professional engagements.
James Parton is lecturing in the
Hudson river towns.
William Parsons lectures every nj ght
now. He is in Northern New York
and Vermont.
Thomas Finch, formerly of Nevada,
and Brigham Young's counsel, is speak
ing in Ohio and attracts large audi
ences.
Rev. Robert Collyer lectures five
times week up to April. He is earn
ing money to build him a home, aud
his society give him leave of absence,
though he supplies his pulpit by ex.
changes and hiring.
Rev. Mr.. Willetts is probably the
most generally popular clergyman who
lecturers largely, next to Collyer, out
side of New England. Rev W. Fl.
Il. Murray ranks next to Collyer in
New England
Mrs. Lvermore lectures every night.
She is still in Massachusetts, but goes
West soon to fulfill list of engage.

Frederick Douglass begins his New
York engagement this week. He has

TOBACCO.

Seed-Leot-Owing to an antici pated
Increase Of duty on tobacco imported
into the interior Of Germany, consid-
cradle demand sprung up during the
week for low priced goods suitable for
shipment Advices from Germany
have been received which render it
certain that the German government
will on or before March ist, 1873 raise
the duty on tobacco, from four to
fourteen fhalers per hundred pounds,
and the possibility of so extreme an
advance is what has quickened our
market for shipping goods within the
last week it being thought advisable
to get as much tobacco as was practita-
BILE beyond the customs boundary in
time to forestall the Inauguration of
tariff.
Ten thalers added to the duty on
each hundred pounds Of tobacco means
a corresponding decrease in the selling
price in this country, if we hope to re-
tain the German markell con tin-
gency not to be contemplated with i'm
moderate equanimity.
The details Of the week transactions
are as follows : 1862 cases State, run
ming lots, on private terms 105 cases
Pennsylvania at l3c; $50 cases Ohio
at 10a012; 665 cases Wisconsin at
94@9&c; 800 cases 1870 Connecticut
at l5c-all for export and for the
home trade, 800 cases 1871 Connecti-
cut wrappers at 40@70c so cases do
do filters at 18c and 200 cases 1870

FLOODS IN EURoPE.-The recent
storms and floods in France and Eng
land have been very disastrous. In
Northern England some of the river
towns are inundated, and the loss Of
property is very great. In France the
floods are even more calamItous' Even
in the city of Paris the waters are
sweeping over the river banks and food
ing the streets. The cable also brings
us news of disastrous gale in the
city of Naples, Italy, by which great
damage was done to shipping and other
property. 1t is estimated that within
the past ten days $50 lives have been
lost in British waters by marine disas-
ters, including passengers and crews.
THE CARRIAGE BUSINESS Dur
ing the past fifty years the growth of
the carriage manufacturing business
in the United States has been exten
sive. In 1910 there were ninety-two
carriage establishments in the United
States. In 1870 the were II, 944 es-
adjustments, employing IS, 294 hands
paying out S21 1854 ,355 for labor, and
producing 100000 carriages, valued at
S67 1867 48. I is estimated that
during the season of 1872 there we're
one million carriages built valued at
one hundred millions Of dollars, and
that about IS 900 hands were employ
ed in their manufacture These figures
give one carriage to each forty persons
in the United States but no estimate
has been made of the sleigbs Of various
kinds manufactured, and no account
has been taken of the persons and capt
tai employed in the extensive manutac-
ture Of axles, springs wheels, and many
other articles made i'll parts, and that
are now purchased in an incomplete
state by carriage builders.

compromise with the heirs though

certainly better than an election to Con-
