A WoMAN's WIT.-When trade
grew slack and bills fell due, the
merchants face grew long and blue.
At last his wife unto him said,
"lIiso up at once, get out of bed,
and get your paper, ink and pen,
and say these words unto all men !:
My goods wish to sell to you,
and to your wife and daughters
too; my prices are so very low,
that all viii buy before they CO."
He did as his good wife advised,
and in the papers advertised
Crowds came and bought Of all he
had, his bills were paid, his dreams
were glad; and he will tell you to
this day how well did printers ink
repay. He told us, with q know
ing wink, how he was saved by
printers ink.

DEATH OF THE FATHER OF THE Rev.
Mr.. CLARK, OF WHREI1Na.-The Boston
Herald OF last Sunday has an obituary no.
tice Of HENRY CLARK, Esq father Of the
Rev. Mr.. CLARK, pastor OF St. Johns
Episcopal Church here, and ono Of the
Principals ol Wheeling Female College.
he was prominent in his day as q mer-
chant and banker in Boston, where he
made an honorable record for himself and
family. The notice OF him in the Herald
concludes as follows:
"Consistent in his political sentiments
with his first principles, he was no less so
In the religious tone that pervaded his
more active years, and that accompanied
him 10 the grave, with firm trust in the
Saviour. His Iecollections were most
varied, and served 10 enliven many an
hour Of those who knew him long after
tho men Of his generation were passed
away. During many years he was an
importer in the West Indian trade, and as
q banker he bore the esteem OF his con-
temporaries through many Of the severe
struggles to which the growing meIcan-
tile Interests Of the States were subjected.
His erect form and venerable head were
well known TO most Of our older State
street habitues, and to his very latest
years ho loved 10 frequent the street. The
remarkable system OF his habits was per.
ceptible in his tenRcity Of lie and in the
exceptional vigor Of his constitution. His
passage to eternity was quiet one, with.
out pain and without disease-pure ex-
haustion OF tho faculties Of life" b..

The situation In Wall Street.

Although money is worth anywhere
from one 10 two per cent per month In the
open market on time paper in New York,
yet II Is loaning freely on call in Wall
street. at flve, six and seven per cent, with
an occasional furry at thirty.second or
q sixteenth per day. The Times notices
the fact that there Is a disposition on the
part Of tho banks to return TO their old
practice ol certifying for the brokers, who
are really their favorite customers, and
says that
- 1t Is evidently felt that the Street will
soon relapse into ante.panic combinations
and cliques, with all the swing needful
in tho way Of bank facilities, whether In
the free certification Of checks or unlimi.
ted loans on call. The Greenbacks and
National Bank Notes are getting back to
the New York banks, and as general trade
has been greatly depressed by the panic
and new railroad enterprises eftectually
checked, the reasoning Is that II would
be q pity not to use this seeming "plethors"
Of money to restore credit and confidence
10 the share list on the Stock Exchange
and 10 reiuspire the cliques in the Van.
dcrbtN and other stocks that survived
after fashion, the crisis Of September.
This view OF the case IS favored by the
Iact, not unusual in the extreme OF Wall
street, that many Of the roads fell far be-
low their reasonable value under any con-
dition OF things.

Boss Tweed Found Guilty on all th'
Counts.

New YORK, Nov. 19.-The Jury In the
Tweed case this morning found verdict
Of guilty on all the counts. The defense
took exception 10 any verdict except
general verdict on all the counts, but the
Jury were discharged.
The counsel are endeavoriDg to obtain
an arrest ot judgment on the ground oil q
want Of Jurisdiction OF the Court.
After an earnest and pathetic appeal by
Mr.. Graham, Saturday was fixed Tor argu'
ment on the question for an arrest Of lludg
ment on the grounds Of a want OF juris
diction,
Mr., Tremaine gave notice that In NOV
ing for Judgment he would ask that Q
separate term OF imprisonment be named
on each one of the counts In the indlct
ment. There are "a counts In all. The
Court then adjourned, Tweed retiring In
the custody oi the Sheriff.
Mr.. Ingersoll's case will be called on
Monday.
The verdict Is the talk Of the town, and
OF It every one has an opinion. Many e1
ult and many more express pity for thu
fallen chief. Before the verdict was giver
Tweed had o pleasant word for all who
greeted him. After the verdict he seemed
70 prefer the society Of his counsel. Only
his youngest son, a mere boy, was witt
him In Court to-day, as he has been dur
ing his two former trials. Tweed OBJ
tained leave TO attend to some private
business and left the Sherifl's office in I
close carriage accompanied by two Dep
uty Sheriffs.

Financial Schemes in the Next Con.
gFeSH.

A Washington reporter OF the New
York Tribune has been interviewing Gen
GARFRLD, Chairman Of the Committee
on Appropriations, since his arrival at The
Capital, in regard to what Congress will
probably do on tho currency question
when 1t meets. The General Is Of the
opinion that number Of crude financial
schemes will be preclpltated at once up
on the attention Of members, and that an
attempt Will be made to rush some oi
them through, especially such schemes as
favor initiation. The House will consist
of 150 new members, and he fears that
these will come to Washington imbucd
with panicky ideas as to measures ofre-
lief for the business interests Of the coun'
try. 80 a-y ~ DO. -
BE issropgly oppose l TO iDa4tion in
any form, believing that It would afford
no perm uent relief for the evils OF the
crisis, bat would in the end intensity
them. II an initiation bill should be pass.
ed, there Is some hope that the President
would in,erpose his veto. General Gar
field has no financial scheme Of his own
to urge upon Congress. He has no hobby
ready saddled to ride when the House
meets, and has come to distrust all theories
of finance that have not been put to the
test OF experience. II he were 10 name
his remedy for the troubles growing out
of the crisis, he would no doubt say free
banking and specie payments" at least
1t Is iair to suppose this, for he has long
and consistently advocated return TO
specie payments, and has more than once
offered bills authorizing free banking upon
specie basis. In reference to the plan
for checking the crisis that will probably
be broached in Congress, he expebts TO
see the old measure known as the Inter.
convertibility BILL" providing for CONVEX
sion Of greenbacks into 8 65 bonds and
rice rerSd, brought forward with a much
stronger support than 1t has ever had be-
fore. This plan has been floating about
In both Houses and in The committees for
six or eight years, and has had The sup.
port of people Of widely different stampin
and out OF Congress. 1t IS said that a
mercantile newspaper In New York
claims TO have originated It. Although II
has never lacked for able hackers II never
reached direct vote in either the Senate
or the House. Il it Is now as popular as
many believe, an effort will probably be
made to push 1t through loaded with q
provision for more legal tenders, with the
hope OF bringing some "anti-infationisis"
to It's aid by The arrangement Of convert
ing the new notes into bonds. ..
