STYLEN OLDTIMES.

The Judges of the Supreme Court of
Massachusetts,, as late as 1773, wore
robes of scarlet, laced with black vel
vet, and in summer, black milk gowns.
Gentlemen wore coats of every variety
of color, generally the cape and collar
velvet, or a different color from the
coat.
In 1872, Gov. Hancock received his
guests In red velvet cap, within which
was one of fine linen turned up over the
edge of velvet few inches. He wore a
blue damask gown, lined with silk,
white satin small clothes, white silk
stockings, and red morocco slippers.
In ITO, Gen. Washington arrived IN
New York from Mount Vernon, to as
sumo the duties of the Presidency. He
was dressed in full suit of Virginia
homespun. On his visit to New Eng
land, he wore the old Continental uni
form, except on the Sabbath, when he
appeared in black.
John Adams, when Vice President,
wore sword and walked about the
streets with his hat under hisarm.
AT levees in Philadelphia, President
Washington was clad in black velvet,
his hair powdered and gathered behind
in silk bag, yellow gloves, knee and
shoe buckles He held in his hand a
cooked hat, ornamented with cockade,
fringed about an inch deep with black
feathers. A long sword in a white
scabbard, with polished steel hilt
hung at his hip.

crop New Orleans has been arriving slowly
and the stock has increased to 600 bbls.;
but notwithstanding the limited receipts
the stock here has been more than sufficient
to supply the demand, and the range has
been reduced to 70aS3, as to quality.
Rice has been rather quiet for large lots,
but Rangoon in bond has remained steady
at PC, gold, for old, and &c, gold, for new.
New Carolina has declined as the season
has advanced, and the quoted range has
been 6a744c, as to quality. Rangoon in a
Jobblng way has ruled at 64a6Sc.
Spices have been quiet, and although the
jobbing quotations have been generally
maintained, large lots have met with very
little demand; and pepper, for instance,
which is quoted in jobbing lots at 22ac,
gold, we learn would hardly bring zoe for
large parcel. In this connection we
would state that we have had shown to us
cable dispatch from London authorize
lively denying the statement lately current
that the pepper plantations on the Atcheen
coast were being burned by the natives,
owing to the invasion by Dutch troops. The
information was originally sent from Singa-
pore, and contradicts a statement which,
sooner or later, might be used to push up
prices. Nevertheless, the latest advices
from Singapore report a steady market.
Cloves have shown some depression here,
and fine Zanzibar have sold down to 29c in
small lots.
Tea has been dull, weak and irregular.
There have been no new features.

SATURDAY NIGHT.

BY CHRISTIAN REID.
Lay by your taskl The weeks long work is done;
Its toll Is over with the setting sun.
Lay by your task Forget awhile your care,
Th9 Weary weight, the burden sore to bear;
Give the worn brain brief time to pause and
rest;
Let the worlds passions pass from out your
breast;
Forget awhile the daily thOrns and briers,
Forget awhile the wrong that smarts and tires,
Forget awhile the worlds unceasing fight;
Remember only it is Saturday night,
Remember only there are rest and peace
When all the weeks long round of trials cease;
Remember only that the aching heart
Awhile may know the blessed Mary's part;
That for awhile may cease the wearing strife
Which makes the sum and total Of our life;
That we can lay aside our work and say,
eve shall not take it up with coming day."
That in Heavens stars there is more quiet light
Because they shed their calm on Saturday night,
Awhile forgotten be the seething tide
OF hopes and fears on which our fortunes ride;
Awhile the sordid cares to dust consign,
Awhile our constant troubles leave behind.
It is, we know, but for a little space,
Not long, not long we turn away our face;
But when again we take the burden up,
And drink again life's salt and bitter cup,
From rest shall come a courage strong and
bright,
And thanks to God, who gave MS Saturday
night.

THE TEXAS TRADE-wIND.

The influence of this wind is felt
everywhere in Texas, but the pleasure
it imparts to the senses is enjoyed in
the highest degree in all the prairies
intersected by the Brazos, Colorado,
Gaudaloupe, San Marcos, San Antonio
and Nueces rivers. Over the grand
and beautiful landscapes it sighs and
sings perpetually. When the heat Of
summer, as indicated by the thermome-
ter, is most intense, and even when
Sirius RACES" its blast is the strong
est, and the atmosphere is bearable
and generally pleasant in the
sun, and always delightful in
the shade. 1t makes the
nights charming and sleep refreshing.
In midsummer it is impossible to carry
an umbrella. There is no necessity for
its shade, and it would be broken or
blown away if hoisted. Hats can only
be worn upon the praiTies while it is
sweeping over them by being fastened
under the chin. The old settlers and
natives of Texas, familiar with its char
acter, build their houses on the south
east slopes of the hills and great swells
of the prairies and of the islands Of
timber, to be sheltered from thenorthers
and to get the undated breath of this
delightful gale. They sleep often in the
open air without a shelter to enjoy it,
and it is safe to do so, as it is perfectly
pure and healthful. 1t is generally
perfumed with the aroma of all the
flowers which bloom upon the praiIies,
and in every month of the spring, au-
tumn, and summer the bOundless par
terres are robed with all the colors Of
the iris and scented with the "odors of
Eden" and often even in mid-winter
they put on their emerald vesture, and
display profusion of floral ornaments
unknown to northern climes. He who
has jomneyed through the magnificent
landscapes of Western Texas and sur
viewed the infinite treasures of loneliness
showered upon it from the wings OF
this benefcent wind, and who has
breathed its ambrosial breath, can
never forget the charm. 1t made him
gratefully enjoy the consciousness OF
his own existence. 1t inspired him
with the memory of an Eden lost and
with the hope of paradisepromised. Il
presented an Elysian vision of both to
his faith which will never fade; and nc
matter in what other cline he may
dwell he will sigh for the breath of thai
wind again.-From November "Hona'
and School," Louisville, Ky.

The historian of this affair locates il
/ In Sugar Hollow, The heroes are two
colered men who have been on a foray
for eoons, and, having expended their
powder and arder without success, are
on their return home IN very sick and
through the Hollow, one of them de-
tected coon perched on the limb Of a
wayside tree. This was a very fortu-
nate occurrence, but as the party was
without ammunition, it seemed as. If
| they would have to take out the chance
in observation and few desultory re-
marks. But one of them offered to go
up the tree and shake the coon out,
while the other remained on the ground
in charge of the dog. He accordingly
assembled. When he reached the limb,
the coon had gone out to its further
end, and there awaited the attack. He
moved out on the limb as far as he
dared, and proceeded to shake it.
While thus engaged there was sudden
snap between him and the trunk, and
he just had time to note this and hug
to the limb when he went down, and
after being raped against the tree,
swung out again and remained sus-
pended, with the coon below him. Look
ing down to see where the coon was, he
was somewhat startled to find that ex-
cellent animal making a movement up
wards.
With hands engaged in keeping him.
self from being dashed to pieces, he
was no sort of foe for the coon. Thus
situated, he cried to his companion for
help, but that gentleman was power
less, and being himself in a position of
safety, very naturally suggested to the
man up the tree that he pray. Pray"
said the victim, to whom the PROPOSE
ton apparently appeared more surpris-
ing than comforting. "Of course, "
said the man on the ground, becoming
more confident in the artifce as he
more fully realized his own safety.
"What shall / prayP" cried the victim.
Anything" said the other-"Now l
lay me down to Sleep" he suggested;
and very remarkable and appropriate
suggestion it was, too, to man who
was glued to a hanging limb twenty
feet from the earth, and expected every
instant to lose the calf of his leg. So
he screamed out, Now | lay me
down" then there was another snap,
and he had just time to add, Lookout
for that id dog, Phineas," when he
and the limb and coon descended, and
he went bounding off the bank and into
the road. The dog escaped, we are
glad to say. But the coon was Sc
cured. And at its discussion as a pot
pie the next day, the cause of its death
lost sight entirely of his precarious con-
dition and wonderful delverance.

MORE CURRENCY.
A Washington letter of Nov. IA says:
Between S5,000,O00 and $6,000,00O Of Ma
tional Bank circulation is promised to per-
sons who have not yet organized banks.
The delay in some cases is in the making
of the plates upon which to print the notes,
but it arises more frequently from the de-
sire of the bank projectors to take advantage
of the decline in government securities, SO
that the bonds necessary to be deposited, I'D
order to secure the circulation, may be OBJ
tanned as cheaply as possible. The opinion
has been quite general that the insolvency
of so many National Banks would create a
demand for the notes by persons desiringto
purchase them in order to organize new
National Banks, but the Controller OF the
currency has received no additional appll-
cations for new organizations on this ac-
count.
The report of the Controller of the Cur
rency viii soon be finished, and will be
longerthan over before. No suggestions look
ing toward free banking will be offered, the
Controller taking ground against such a
proposition. His remedy for averting finan-
cial panics is to have Congress authorize the
government to issue certificates, bearing in
terest at the rate of three per cent, which
are to take the place of the legal reserve
now held by banks for the security of their
depositors, these certificates to be converti-
BILE upon presentation at the Treasury. He
claims that such certificates would prevent
the banks loaning their reserve, which is
now so generally in practice.
