OSTRACISM OF GENERAL LONG,

be found than that of General Longstreet.
At the close of the war he was idolized in this
city. No one approached him in popular es-
teen. His military record was grander than
Stonewall Jackson's, it WED with Lees, it
rivalled Sherman's and Grants He lived as
in fairy land OF fancy and delight Within
twenty-four hours the dream faded away.
From being the idol of the populace he was
the completest object of their detestation.
He had written Il political letter the sentiment
of which New Orleans and Louisiana disap-
proved, and consequently he had become a
traitor and knave. Ninetyseven out of
every hundred OF his acQuaintances refused to
speak to him. He was driven from society
in single day. For seven long years ihis
ostracism has continued. Longstreet has en-
dured it with that herosm which accepts
fate calmly. The only sign he has shown
of the acutepess of his wounds is in
disposition to avoid everyb body. The

Forty sail of cod fishermen have now ar
rived from the banks and the Bay with 49,
800 quintals, and there are ten sails more to
come. The latter have been reported, and
their catch will increase the aggregate to so, d.
900 quintals to vessel. Lat year at this
date fiity-six sails had brought in II 40 quin.
tails, and this quantity was subsequently, in
creased, by arrivals of second fares, to a total
of s0,o60 quintals, giving an average of 1929
9>l4 qantals toa vessel, and total catch of
10000 quintals more than the entire
products of this year. One vessel only, the
Camilla, has this season returned to the bank
for second fare.
Notwithstanding this large decrease in the
batch there is nevertheless compensation in
the prevailing higher prices. A year ago to
date sales for larger cod had average less than
81 80 per quintal. This year the rate is near.
ly a dollar more per quintal, and the market
is still active and promising. While several
vessels have come in without fares, mourning
serious loss for owners and shares men, the
majority of the fleet will realize more net
profit from their voyages than was obtained
last year from an unprecedently large catch.

increase in wheat is SO per cent; rye. 26 !;

Fifth and Last Gift Concert,
IN AID OF THE
PUBLIC LIBRARY OF KENTUCKY !
A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

The management have determined to have
the drawing Of the Fifth and Last Gift Con-
cert of the Pdtlic Library of Kentucky, on
the 30lh day of November next. We believe
now that all the tickets will be sold and that
the drawing will be a full one, but whether
all are sold or not the drawing will never
theless certainly come off on the day ap-
pointed.
The special object of this card is to call
meeting of the ticket. holders at Public Libra
ry Hall, on the goth of November, to make
arrangements in connection with the commit
tee appointed by the Trustees to superintend
the counting of the tags representing the
number of tickets sold. While there is no
actual necessity for the presence of ticket
holders, ae under our arrangements the inter-
ests of all are equally cared for, yet at the
same time would greatly prefer that as many
of those interested as can, would attend this
meeting and see each for himselfhow perfect
ly fair and impartial the distribution must be.
Every arrangement has been made for the
drawing-but little more than a month re-
mains for the sale of the remainder of the
tickets, and whatever is done must be done
promptly. THos. Z. RRAMLErTE,
Agent and Manager.
