MONEYAND COMMERCE.


IsA1uRDAx EvKENo, May g..
The principal feature in the local money mar
ket this week is the turn in exchange in favor OF
Chicago and against New York, thus showing that
the flow Of capital to New York has ceased, and
that currency will move Westward instead Of
Eastward as it did during the whole OF April.
As yet this change has had no effect
upon the money market, but it may reasonably
be expected to make an easier condition here
during the current month The demand from
the country for currency is also increasing, and
this indicates the probability Of larger receipts
Of grain. The supply Of money in the
open market is good, and prime commercial
paper, and also satisfactory raal eatata
paper, both find ready market at from 10 to Ia
per cent. Exchange was sold between banka
to-day at par, aud also at 5oc per 1000 dis

stocks, as will be aeen by the List OF sales below.

De1acroix's great work, La Mort de sardan-
aplo," was sold the other day in Paris for 96.G00
francs. This picture was far from being held in

We are told that when Delacroix expected to re-

Rochefoucault, at that time Director of the Fine
Avis Department, he was met with the unwel-
come greeting, "H this is what you call paint
ing, you need- never expect any employment
from me" This must have been all the moro
'dissgreeab1e,' because Delacroi1 himself had
written that sc This work is the greatest feather
in my cap,-the triumph Of Orientalism over the
Spartan daubs Of the David school," For ten
years he was covered with invectve, and his
paintings decried by every small critic, and BY
many Of his fellow-artists. Gerard aud Gerodet

The Prince is found to be just the same as he
was before his illness-not by any means bad
fellow, hut only common and frivolous in bis
life, and wanting in personal dignity and e1eva-
tion Of character. The scandalous stories about
his disippationa which are circulated from time
to ti1no are simply falsehoods. He is moi, in any
sense, dissipated or 1oose in his habits. His
private life is reputable enough, and il he was
only q private gentleman, q young fellow who
had inherited shdddy, or come into d pork
butchers fortune, there might be nothing to
say against him, considering what the general
run of Princes has hitherto been for young
Prince not to be actually vicious is perhaps :
good deal. The people are moro exacting than
they used to be, and they are certainly disap-
pointed They think that q man in high posi-
mako it too conapicuous that he il only
q very common sort OF person. q mere eat
ing and drinking machine, with no object
in life except mere amusement, and with
tastes that carry him toward the lowest kind Of
amusementa The Prince is never heard Of in
connection with any public movement, literary,
artistic or charitable, except as simply eating
dinner and making few brief, formal speeches
OF account OF it. He takes no interest in intel
lectual pursuit, or indeed in any pursuits
that require knowledge and application.
he is often o farmer. He does not even breed
pigs. He hunts he shoots poor little pigeons, or
tries to. not always with great success he is
fond Of the easy slaughter Of large battues; be
goes to the races as often he can; he fraquents
theatres. and is rarely missed when anything
particularly vulgar and slangy is being perform
ed, and he smokes great many very long cigars.
People are gatting rather tired Of reading the
monotonous accounts Of his amusements. Why,
they ask, doesn't he take, or pretend to take, an
interest in industrial enterprise, or in science Of
art, OF something little above ''beer and skit-
ties p" II he can't do anything else, why doesn't
he pretend, at least, to know something about
breeding pigs?

Arr. Frank Calvert, OF the Dardanelles, who
besides his archaeological attainments, is IN ex-
| perienced geologist, has communicated to the
Leyant Herald tie following notice Of q discov.
cry which he hns mode near that town, and which
carries back the existence OF mankind to period
immensely more remote than has yet bcen ascer-
tanned by scientific research: II have had the
good fortune to discover in the vicinity oi
istence Of man during tho Miocene psriod OF
the Tertiary age. From the face OF q cli1
composed Of strata OF that period, at geologi-
cal depth OF 800 feet have myself extracted
tho fragment Of joint of bone Of either adino:
therium or q mastodon, on the convex side OF
which is deeply incised the unmistakable figure
of horned quadruped with arched neck, lozange-
shaped chest, long body, straight fore-legs, and
broad feet. There are also tracea OF seven
or eight other figures, which, together, with
liberated The whole donign enclrcles the e1-
terror portion Of the fragment, which measures
nine inches in diameter and five in thickness. I
have also found, not far from the site Of the en-
g1ayed bone, in different parts Of the same cl!h,
q flint flake and some bones Of animals, frac-
tured longitudinally, obviously BY the hand Of
man. for the purpose Of extracting the MARROW,
according to tho practice Of all primitive races.
There can be no doubt as to the geological char
acter Of the formation from which disinterred
writer on tho geology OF Asia Minor, n.
de- TchilatcheR, who visited this region; detor-
mined it to be Of the Miocene period nd-the
fact is further confirmed by the fossil bones,
teeth, and shells Of that epoch found there, for
I sent drawings Of some Of these FOSSILS to Sir
John Lubbock, who obligiuglyi informs mo that,
having submitted them to Messrs. 6. Busk and
Jenreys, those eminent authorities have idonti-
fed among them the remains Of dinotherium
and the shells Of 3 species OF melanla, both OF
which strictly appertain to the Miocene epoch.

miles distance from the above locality, ! have

There is good deal OF talk and complaint
about our inspection Of grain, many people
from tho country claiming that they are
swindled. So far as We can ascertain, the In
spectors are now working closer to the rules than
ever before, under State inspection, and that is
what is wanted. II the rules are bad in somo
places they can be amended bye and byo; and
there are two or three points in which
they need to be changed. But re do not
want set Of rules that can be stretched to
grade higher the grain that comes from COM
Peting points than that which comes from else
where. Even il it be true, as alleged, that that
sort Of inspection is ptectised in Milwaukee and
Toledo It ia otwanted here. What ia required
is uniform inspection, SO that people who want
to buy grain can always know just what they
The demand for such grain would establish .
discrimination in its favor, as compared with
other markets., that ought to satisfy tho most
chronic grumbler in existence.
The ways of some OF our lumber brokers are,
to use Topseyism, decidedly ''curis." Not
S1.00 above the truth, they scan the public
record for the report Of other dealeEJ, and It
they ara not satisfactory, will carry OF the book,
so that t3one Of the reporters can see it. Are
siveIy complained Of a year OF more ago, by the
journals published in the lumber regions7 or
are they only samples Of ways that are dark mud
tricks that were so vain that all honest men
avoid them?
