Those who desire to pass an evening Of
unalloyed pleasure, the Academy, with the
present programme, offers Inducements
enough for the most fastidious. 1t is seldom
that we have, so late in the season, such a
burlesque as Pocahontas on the boards, and
the public seem to appreciate the sacrifices
of Mr.. Bidwell in putting this old and stand
ard melodrama on the stage.
We have seen many prominent ladies in
the part Of Pocahontas, that ,lashing Indian
Maiden bnt the beautiful Alice Harrison
succeed, d in filling the demands Of the
character SO WELL the memory of past victO-
tories by other ladies fades in the mind
Her negligence and abandon serve to make
her rendition peculiarly attractive.
We cannot but commend the judicious
manner in which Miss Mile Freidenbergh
filled her minor role. The charm Of feature
AMI the grace of her action have made her
quite an attraction.
Marie LeBrun, although not cast in a
prominent part, by her delicacy d::modest
bearing attracted much attention. She
promises well, and if we are not mistaken
will be heard Of in the future as leading
lady.
If We had our choice we would prefer a
more subdued Mynheer Rolf. Mr.. Adams
is little too Outre, and a toning down would
please, and at the same time fill the require
ments of his character.
1t is with pleasure that..w have to chroni-
Gle another enthusiastic reception Of La

one So young showing such dramatic talent.

The Washington correspondent Of tho
New York Journal Of Commerce writes that
there appears, from discoveries Just made,
to be in operation a stupendous system Of
defrauding the revenue, whereby the Gov
ernments is losing at the rate Of several
million dollars q year, and honest distillers
and dealers in spirits are in danger Of being
driven out of business. It appears that the
chief points at which the frauds are COM
mitted are st. Louis, Mo-, Evansville, Ind,
Milwaukee, Chicago, first district Of Ken
lucky, and Peoria, Ill. The charges are
that there are one or two illicit places at
each Of these points, and the distillers who
pay tax regularly and honestly are anxious
to assist the Government in roofing them
out, because their interests and the Govern
ment's are the same Many Of the .listillers
say that, unless the Government takes
prompt measures, honest distiiIers will soon
be forced out Of business, and or all hands
it is recognized that the frauds now being
perpetrated are stupendous,

HE MAKES INvIDoUs COMPARISONS.
The Hon. w. G. Flagg, of Missouri, adj
dressed some interrogs.ories to Mr.. Amasa
Walker about financial philosophy. A.
may be supposed. he received prompt re-
ply which appears in the last number of the
Prairie Farmer. Mr.. Walker was asked TO
furri sh some proofs of a statement in the
Decatur letter "that farm products are not
advanced in price at this time rs
much as commodities in general"
Mr. Walker calls attention to the
relation of the farmer to the currency from
two points of view. First, as it affects the
price of what he has to sell: second, "a il
affects the price Of what he has to buy, and
the expenditures he has to meet" As to
the first, the following comparative table il
given, which is a lesson for careful study.
II shows that the gold prices of beef pork,
-four and corn for four periods of FIVE years

of each article each year and the average

entire period; and thus be able to compare
each period with every other:

GENERAL MARKET REVIEW.
WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE INDIANAPOLIS
WHOLESALE Markets,
MONDAY EVENING, March

MONDAY EVENING, March Q.
The opening of the week does not promise
very decisive progress in trade, although
there are symptoms of activity for the sea-
son. Provisions mark an advance on last
week, and with like Improvement for the
week to come they will begin to move.
Another half cent all round and sellers will
unload. Grain is stationary and inactive.
Dry goods begin to move under liberal
orders from the country. The trade now
only waits on better roads. There are no
speculative movements in groceries, and
the trade is buying sparingly. Coffees and
sugars are firm, Notwithstanding the dull
ness that prevails; no change in these goods
since last week; the upward movement in
coffees stimulated the demand. but it lasted
for few days only, and again the holders
are awaiting offers; the position for the i'm
porters is said to be very favorable and they
are patiently biding their time. Fish con-
tinues firm, and at the advance obtained are
attracting the attention of buyers; it is yet
too early to expect much trade. Cheese are
strong with an upward tendency. Teas are
meeting with fair inquiry at former prices.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

THE ARGUMENT OF LAST RESoRT-How CUR
'...rt RENCY AFFECTS PRICES.
To tie Editor Of the Sentinel.
Sir:-The friends of expansion have the
promise of success in congress. Every
member from Indiana favors it, and under
stands himself as advocating the wishes OF
the farmers. When the grangers have ex-
pressed themselves by resolutions they have
favored more currency. In this, have their
views been sound? Mr.. Schurz and others
deny that it is the interest of Il g
farmers to have more currency, because, as
they assert, it will raise the prices of what
the farmer buys, and will not raise the price
of what he sells in the same degree, if at all.
propose to bring this question to the test
of actual facts, and for that purpose viii take
the prices of certain staples, at Indianapolis,
as reported in the Daily Indiana State
Journal, for the last five years, and for the
five years just preceding the war, and see
how the rates compare of these products OF
the farmer; and then to examine how prices
in other departments have Jared.

During the panic, in December last, the
average cost of pig iron at the furnace sunk
to SIS 81 per ton. a.es
The printers in Indianapolis recently
struck, and yet 1 am informed that the
prices they are now paid are over sixty per
centabove the prices before the war; and
they claim that the advance in rents and
other expenses of living compel them to
make such advance. Carpenters, masons,
and plasterers have also advanced over sixty
per cent. 1t therefore appears that the far
mer has not advanced in prices as fast as the
mechanics. 1t may be supposed that
the railroads have been charging high-
or freights to New York than
before the war, but upon inquiry / am
informed that the rates are not higher
The increased business has enabled the
roads to freight these products at the same
prices as before the war. 1t is important to
give specifications and proofs, for otherwise
1t Is easy to mislead in statistics. The reason
the former cannot advance his prices on
these staples, is that the moderate amount
which Is exported to England is governed
by the gold price, and that governs the price
in New York, and thats nIndianapolis.
But what the farmer buys sg6verned main
ly by cur high currency prices; and the more
of that is issued the higher prices will be.
