A C0nfederated Home.

have heard an amusing account
Of a recent attempt to establish
" confederate home.n In London
five families, possessing small in
comes, united in the establishment
of common home. A large house
in the Bloomsbury region was ta-
ken for the purpose, and the ar
rangements for the regulation of
the household were made with the
utmost care and precision. There
was to be a common dining room,
in which all the meals Of the
household were to be taken, and
each family had set Of ROOMS,
which it was to furnish and ar
range as suited its own convent
encc. There was to be one cook
for the whole household, and a
couple Of servants to do the other
work. The experiment was COM
menccd, and for the first day or
two matters went well enough.
Before q week had passed, how
ever, II became evident that to
govern Q confederate home would
be nearly us difficult as to manage
an Irish parliament. The five fam
tiles could never agree as TO what
they should eat and drink. The
dinner, especially, was a standing
subject Of dispute, and the conse-
quence was that tho kitchen be-
camc a scene of constant wrang-
ling between the cook and her five
mistrcsses. The other servants
also found IL impossible to meet
the commands Of their associated
mistrcsscs. Five bells would fire.
quently be ringing at the same
time, and one family would COM
plain that they were being ncglcc-
ted, and that another was recciv-
ing undue attention. Then the
children of the different families
would quarrel. OF course each
mamma was sure that her darlings
were not the cause Of the disturb
ancc. In short. before a few weeks
had passed tho confcdcratcd home
became what the party who told
me the story called the confodc.
rated discord," and had TO be bro
ken up.

Nena Sahib Surrendered to the
British AuthorItlcs,

Nena Sahib, the leader of the
great revolt against the British In
the East Indies, has been surren-
dered by the Maharajah Of Scin-
dia. 1t is understood that letter
from Nena to the Maharajah ask
ing protection first revealed the
whereabouts of the chieftain and
led to bis capture. In his confess
sion to the political agent the pris-
oner declared that he was the fa-
nous Nena 6abib, admitted that
he took { leading part in the mu-
tiny, but denied that he had any
thing to do with the Cawnpore
massacre. lie gave an interesting
account Of his subsequent wander
ings IN Bhootam, Assam and Da-
reilly. The prisoner, however, af-
ter making this confession, sought
to withdraw It. Physicians have
examined him, and express q doubt
as to his identity, because his ap-
pcarancc is too youthful. A sur
geon who was in Cawnporc at the
time of the revolt and often saw
Ncna Sahib, failed to recognize
the prisoner a. the man. Other
witnesses have been summoned.
The Maharajah of Scindia at flrst
sought to have II stipulated that
the mans life should be spared,
but he afterwards surrendered him
unconditionally to tho British,
who placed him in irons. Bsla. q
brother of Nona Sahib, has also
been captured.

The Prospect Of Cotton Prices.

While freely sending their cot
ton to market, planters are dis
appointed at the decline in prices
from the very first week in the
season, and arc anxious to know
when tho downward movement is
to stop. The answer to this is
when the rush Of cotton to the
market decreases. If the Liver
pool demand would become more
lively; II the Eastern mills would
resume working full time; ifspec-
ulators, attracted by low prices,
would buy with increased free
dom-any or all of these things
would undoubtedly cause some
Improvement in prices; buta per-
manent ard substantial advance
can be hoped for only from de-
creased receipts. Putting aside
the general depression Of trade,
which of course involves the cot
ton market in its adverse inilnen-
ces, the cotton trade is mainly
governed by circumstances pecu-
liar to itself. The most prominent
event Of the cotton market SO far
during the present season, has
been the full receipts, surprising
those of several years past; and
there being no especially favoring
occurrence to neutralizc the effect
Of increased receipts, decreased
prices follow as darkness follows
sunset. As VIC write, however, a
ray of light that may be the har-
binger ofa brighter state ofthings,
breaks across the gloom. The
commercial week just closed shows
a check Oh receipts. Every week,
until the one just closed, had
larger receipt of cotton than the
week preceding It; the past weeks
receipts, for the first time since
the opening Of the season on the
first Of September, were smaller
in amount than those Of the week
preceding. The decrease from the
week before was at the United
States ports, 1884 bales; at Men,
phis, 967 bales. Together with
the decrease In receipts there has
been some Improvement in prices.
New York had declined every
week, for the past seven weeks,
to o price lower than the preceding |
wcck-last week the decline was
arrested; last week showed as
high figures as the week before.
New Orleans underwent nearly
the Same series of declines this
week the decline has stopped, the
price being the same at the close
rs at the close Of the week before.
In Memphis the average weekly
prices show decline every week,
from the opening of the season
downward until the last week,
when the average price was slight
" higher than that of tho week
before. The facts we point out
are of interest, especially to the
owners of cotton; nnd as far as
can be Judged under the present
aspect Of things, cannot but have
. favorable influence on the mark
Dt to the advantage of tho future
prices Of cotton.-Mcmphis APP

Galxet's Answer to the Scientists.

No one will be surprised to learn
that NJ. Guizot, when drawing up
his last instructions to his family,
wished to preface them by dec
laration of his Christian faith.
The first page Of his will reads
thus: al die in the bosom of the
Reformed Christian Church of
France, and ia which l congratu-
late myself on having been born.

end. After having long lived. act

still remain convinced that the
universe and man are neither Of
them sufficient to explain and reg
ulate themselves naturally by the
mere force Of fixcl laws which
preside over thcm aud Of the hu-
man wills which are brought into

that God, who created the uni
verse and man, governs and pre-
serves or modifles them, whether
by those general laws which we
call natural laws, whether by spe-
cial acts, which we call supernatu-
raj, emanating like the general
laws from his perfect and free
wisdom and from his infinite pow

us from being acquainted with In

he sold the official patronage Of

Correspondents Of the ST. Louis Republican
There is McClurc-Poker Jack
they call him-a perfect type Of
the Arkansas carpct-bagger. The
best illustration l can give Of Nc
Clure's character Is by describing
an interview between him and
Attorney General Williams last
winter, after the Administration
had acted in favor of Baxter. Nc
Clure came to Washington with
his blue eyes full Of blood. The
opinion Of the Attorney General
had struck him In the region Of
the diaphragm, and to say he was
mad would be to draw it very
mild. He went up to the Depart
ment Of Justice and demanded to
sec Williams. That functionary
received him.
IL am Chief Justice Mcclure,
Of Arkansas" lie began, "and l
have read your opinion ON the
case recently decided by the Pres
ident. Now, sir, | wish to say
that the papers on which you ba-
sed your opinion and which you
refer to NJ having been certified to
you by the clerk Of my court are
either forged or garblsd."
"What do you say, sirf" asked
the astonishod Attorney General.
Ire had been accustomed to the
behavior Of the lackcy on the part
Of the traditional carpet-bagger,
but here was one playing the bully.
II was incomprchcnsible to the
Attorney-G General.
al say, sir" replied the iinper-
turbable Mcclure, "that | believe
those papers are either forged or
that new matter has been interpo-
lated In them; and ! say, further,
sir, that the reputation Of your
department and the known char
actcr Of yourself incline me to the
belief that these frauds have been
enacted IN your Office and by your
instigation or connivance."
"What do you mean, SIR" gasp.
ed the breathlcss Williams.
~ mean just what l say" re.
piled Mcclure, still cool as a re.
frigerator, "and | want to see the
originals of those papers which
you claim have been certified to
you by the clerk Of my court"
II have sent them to the Senate
sir" said Williams.
"You talk like man who ID
lying" said Mcclure. "In fact,
cir, I believe you arc lying. Not
to put too fine a point upon 1t,
you are id liar, sir. Original
papers are never sent to the Sen.
ate or the House except upon spe.
cial demand for them. The reso.
luton of the Senate in regard to
these papers called for copies, and
copies were sent. You do moi
wish me to see the originals, sir
for fear that l will detect the in.
terpolations that have been per.
petrated in your Office. l believe
you have been bought up In thi,
matter. SIR"
At this Williams turned and left
the room. His chief clerk ther
came up to Mcclure and said, 81

drove several times around the
track, and were the observed Of
all observers, but finally Mr.. Buck

meet him."
"The President I" exclaimed
Dillon, "why, he's just the man !
