One Bridal Present.

A correspondent tells of one pretty bridal present lately imported from Paris. It consisted of sort of futed pedestal, rather Grecian in shape, at the top of which is set, like China fower-pot in jardiniere, casket- shaped box of highly scented sandal wood. Within it are six cushions of plaited white satin, forming the lining of the bottom, sides and top. These are filled with s0chets d'odeur. and the top being deep enough to admit of this, a dozen pairs of gloves and as many handkerchiefs are placed within it, which, when removed arc just sufficient ly sented to be agreeable for use. On a gold ornament like 8 cage ring, on the top of the box, the modelI describe has a beautiful tropical bird, stuffed.
 The sides of the box on the exterior have similar birds painted in vivid colors, and vine of glided leaves runs down the tripod like stems of the pedes- tai, within in which are gilded iutings.
 Fronds of fern may be set-eaoh frond separated-in the small, cup,like orna- ments at the base. By being placed near the window, the rich odor of the sandal wood fills the room in few mo- ments. , .-.... ......... .., ....

The Black Hills Expedition.

The expedition to the Black Hills under Gen. Custer is expected to de- velop 8 rich mineral district. Gen. Dandy informs a correspondent that, when at Fort Laramie, 8 squaw brought into that post 8 nugget of pure geld as large as hens egg, which she claimed came from the Black Hills. Other specimens have been brought in by the Indians from time to time, and the h. dians questioned concerning that coun- try invariably tell of the rich minerals, or are so evasive as to create all the greater interest. "Running Antelope" Tn a conversation with Gen. Custer lately, said that the great objection the Indians had to the white man explor- ing the Black Hills was that they would want to take tLe country when they learned of it's mineral and agricultural wealth. Sn it has come to pass that an impres sion has obtained throughout the country that this is perfect FL dorado, and believing that an explora- tion should be made which would give was organized, and is sent out by the Government. Time and again expedi- tions fitted out by private parties have been cn0CRSu Dy 6no OoV6rHmouG, Oo- cause, if permitted to go on their own responsibility, they might not only trespass on the rights of the Indians, which this expedition will not do, but would be liable to be massacred by the willy savage. Indeed, several parties have already been murdered in years agone, and of parties seeking to visit this region not man has returned. Yearly the disposition to visit the Black Hills, on the part of the restless spirits among our mining population, has been growing, but now that the Government has taken the matter in hand they will bide their time Pacific messages have been sent to the Indians; they have been given to unders tand that this is not measure of war, but of peace j; that if they will let the expedition alone they will not be molested-th rights will not be interfered with. And Gen. Custer hopes they will take heed and let him alone. Still, the young men have their reservations, and are gather ing in the vicinity of the Black Hills. They are about 5000 strong, and if they attack at all it will be in force.

Prospects for Trade.

Dun, Barlow & Co.'s mercantile agency have favored us with t1 cir views of prospects for the fall trade, which are full of encouragement. Con- sidering the suddenness and violence of the crisis of last Autumn, the com meroial fabric of the country has not shown serious signs of disorder, if the number or importance of mercantile failures are to be taken as an index as to it's condition. It is a fact, as sur prising as it is gratifying, that, within the past six months, there have abso- lutely been fewer failures in number, and certainly fewer in prominence, than for the same period in the average of years. On the contrary, it is observed that there has been very remarkable reduction of indebtedness in all classes and in almost all sections of the coun- try. It is safe to say that the internal mercantile indebtedness in the country to-day is not more than two- thirds what it was at this time last year. Indeed, so great has been the tendency toward liquidation, that it alone has been a cause of restricted business and ham, pered trade, as much as the want of confidence in the stability of the coun- try, or the safety of credit.
