DOMESTIC MARKETS,

New YORK, Sept. 18-Comparative ssstenens
Of cotton for the week ending to-day;

with the pastor, who he had spurred on
to the repeated offenses, in the expecta-
ton that violence would result, owing
to the pastors hasty temper, and had
carefully nursed the feud which soon
arose between master and man. Niels
told him daily all that took place. On
leaving the garden on that fatal day, he
had run over to IngTorstrup to acquaint
his brother with what had happened.
Morten shut him up In a private room
that no one might see him. Shortly
after midnight, when the whole village
was asleep, the two brothers went to a
place where the roads cross each other,
and where few days previously sui
eide had been buried-a young man of
about NieIs age and stature. In spite
Of NiePs reluctance and remonstrance
they dug up TIE corpse and took it into
Morten's house. Niels was made to
strip and don a suit of Morten's, and
the corpse was clad, piece by piece, in
Nlels' cast of clothes, even to the very
earring. Then Morten battered the
dead face with a spade, and hid il in a
sack until the next night, when they
carried it into the wood by Vellby par
sonage. Niels asked what all these pre-
paratiOns meant. korten told him to
mind his own business and to go and
fetch the parsons green DRESSING gown
and cap. This Niels refused to do.
whereupon Morten went and fetched
them himself. "Aud now," he said to
his brother, lyon go your way. Here
is a purse with a hundred dollars-make
for the frontier where no one knows
thee; and pass thyself under another
name, and never set thy foot on Danish
soil again as thou wouldst answer it
with thy lifep Niels did as be was
and parted from Morten
forever. He had enlisted for soldier,
had suffered great hardships, had lost
limb, and had returned to his native
pl. ce a mere wreck.

Business Laws.

The following compilation Of busi-
ness law is worth a careful preservation,
as it contains the essence of a large
amount of legal verbiage:
It is not legally necessary to say on a
note "for value received.
Contracts made on Sunday can not be
enforced.
A note made by minor is void.
A contract made with minor is also
void.
A contract made with a lunatic is
void.
A note obtained by fraud, or from q
person in a state OF intoxication, can not
be collected.
If note is lost or stolen it does not
release the maker he must pay it, if
the consideration for which it was given
and the amount can be proven.
An indorser of a note is exempt from
liability If not served with notice of
dishonor within twenty-four hours Of its
non-payment.
Notes bear interest only when it is SO
stated.
Principals are responsible for the acts
of agents.
Each Individual in partnership is re-
sponsible for the whole amount of debts
of the firm.
Ignorance of the law excuses no per-
son.
It is a fraud to conceal fraud.
The law compels no one to do impos-
sibilities.
Anagreement without consideration is
void.
Signatures made with lead pencil
are good In law.
A receipt for money is not always con-
elusive.
The acts of one partner bind all the
other partners.

Vanderbilt.

The wealth of the Vanderbilt family
has been variously estimated, and the
reticence of the commodore himself
has admitted of little else than mere
conjecture on this point. There is a
general opinion, however, among those
who are in position to judge most cor
rectly that the wealth vested in Com
modore Vanderbilt exceeds one hun
drcd millions of dollars, and a promi-
neAt member of the family recently
said that the "old'm man" was worth more
than that sum. This vast fortune was
acquired by Cornelius Vanderbilt
through his own efforts, starting early
in life without capital or influence, His
parents were poor, and his first money
was earned in conveying people to and
fro in a row-boat between New York
and Staten Island. He made a large
amount of money in steamboating, but
the great bulk of his wealth has been
acquired in railroad combinations and
in the manipulation of railroad stocks.
He is and has been all his life a very
remarkable man. His self-reliance and
pluck are as natural with him as draw
ing breath, and his will and purpose in
domitable. A man of such tremendous
mental force has he been that he has
moved forward to the accomplishment
of his objects with power as irresisti-
BILE Rs one of his steamboats,. His one
purpose in life has been the acquisition
of money. To this end he has trained
his mental and physical resources with
the greatest care. He has made of
himself a machine that has always
Obeyed the requirements of his intel
lect, and wherever he has struck it has
been with telling force and effect. He
has always drank moderately and lived
regularly, taking just the requisite
amount of exercise always. Smoking
and whist-playing are the only indul-
gences which he has permitted him
self to any considerable degree. Every
day he Is to be seen driving on the road
with a stump of a cigar between his
teeth, and until within a year past he
has had every evening some of his Gro
MES, In for a rubber at whist and to
talk horse, a subject at which he never
tires. Latterly, however, his evenings
have been passed very quietly. He has
always been a strict man of business,
kept his own counsel, and admitted or
known no partners. He never allows
the plea of affection or charity to IN
terfere with his business matters. APP
peals to his sympathy have about as
much effect as a straw forced under the
wheels of a locomotive. He has been
well, active and in the harness all his
life, and has never tired or weakened.
He will be 80 years of age in May, and
his 60 odd years of constant hard work
show that he has had one of the strong
est physical constitutions ever given to
a man.-Ne1O York Graphic.

a Laughing Plant.

The London Garden copies, from
Palgrave's work on central and eastern
Arabia, an account of a plant whose
seeds produce the effects similar to
those of laughing gas. It is a native Of
Arabia. A dwarf variety of Oman,
which attains to height of from three
to four feet, with woody stems, wide
spreading branches and bright green
foliage. It's flowers are produced IN
clusters, and are of bright yellow col
or. The seed-pods are soft and woolly
in texture, aud contain two or three
black seeds of the size and shape Of a
French bean. Their flavor is a little
like thai OF opium, and their taste is
sweet the odOr from them produces q
sickening sensation and is slightly offen-
siYe. These seeds contain the essential
property of this extraordinary plant,
and, when pulverized and taken in
small doses, operate upon person IN a
most peculiar manner. He begins to
laugh loudly, boisterously; then he
sings. dances, and cuts all manner Of
fantastic capers. Such exirayagance Of
gesture and manners was never produc-
ed by anv other kind of dosing. The
effect continues about an hour. and the
patient is uproarioEsly eomical. When
the excitement ceases the exhausted ex-
hibitOr falls into q deep sleep, which
continues for an hour or more; and
when he awRkens he is utterly uncOn-
seious hatany such demonstrations have
been enacted by him.

When the anaconda was on exhibition
here, says the San Francisco Alta, it
was customary to feed him with rab-
bit every few days, and the reptile
throve on his diet. When the snake
was taken to Sacramento for exhibition
it was uncertain how long the show
Rould stay but the patronage of the
Sacrame. ,tans was generous, and the
agent at once telegraphed for his SNOWY
posters to "bill the town" The dis
patch read "Send two hundred cuts
Immediately" but when received it
read "Send two hundred cats immedi-
ately." 1t was a little bit of a surprise
to the agent at San Francisco when he
read the message, but Le reasoned that
rabbits were scarce in Sacramento, and
it was necessary to substitute cats for
the regular provender, so he started
out an army of boys to catch all the
stray cats. By the afternoon train he
sent a crate of seventy-five cats, with a
letter saying: fI send seventy-five
cats by this train, and will forward bal
ance tomorrow, but I am afraid that
number of cats will eat the snake, if
they get loose, instead of being eaten

Guatemala.

A Panama letter of May details
curious tragedy st San Jose de Gaute-
mala. The Commandante had street
fight with Vice Consul MaRee about
the clearance of a vessel. Msgee was
sentenced to receive 200 lashes and be
shot if he survived. After he had re-
ceived 200 Iashes, Commandante Con
zales keeping the tally himself, the sur
geon protested, and the Fiction of the
rest were postponed till next morning
Immediately before his execution. Dur
ing the night Gonzales with fiendish
craelty visited his victim several times,
placing a pistol to Msgee's temple, and
asking if he didn't wish to be put out
of his misery. The remonstrances Of
the United Sta es c nsul were in vain,
and next morning Magee was broug ht
out to be scourged and shot. when the
arrival of troops from San Salvador IN
duced Gonzales to seek refuge on the
Pacific Mail steamer Arizona An or
der on the captain to surrender him was
disobeyed, but Gonzales was shot dead
by some one among the passengers.
The Arizona also disobeyed an order Of
the United States consul TO remain in
port, for the protection OF foreign resi-
dents, and sailed at once for Panama.

CARRYING a Ladder.

Did you ever see person carry a lad
der? He puts it on his shoulder. or it
may be puts his head between the
rounds and has one end of the sides
resting on each shoulder, and, having
1t nicely balanced, walks along. A man
with a ladder is an interesting object in
a crowded street. He looks at the end
before him, but the end behind him he
cannot see. If he moves the front to
the right end to get out the way of
person, away goes the rear end Just as
far in the opposite direction, and the
slightest turn of his body, only few
inches, will give the ends a sweep of
several feet, and those in the way may
look out for bruised hats and bumped
heads, while the window glass along the
street is in constant danger from the un-
seen rear end of the ladder. When
small boy, 1 was carrying not very
large ladder, when there was a crash.
An unluclzy movement had brought the
rear end of my ladder against window.
Instead of scolding me, my father made
me stop, and said, very quietly Look
here, my son, there is one thing wish
you to always remember; that is, every
ladder has two ends" I never have
forgotten that, though many, many
years have gone, and I never see a man
carrying a ladder or other long thing
but what I remember the two ends.
Don't we carry things besides ladders
that have two ends? When I see a
young man getting fast habits
think he sees Cnly one end of that lad
der, the one pointed towards pleasure,
and that he does not know that the
other end is woUnding his parents
hearts. Many a young girl carries a
ladder in the shape of love for dress
and fnery she only sees the gratifca-
ton of foolish pride at the forward
end of that ladder, while the end she
does not see is crushing true mOdesty
and pure friendship as she goes along
thoughtlessly among the crowd. All
yes, every ladder has two ends, and it is
thing to be remembered is more ways
than one.

A Terrible Story from the Sea.

Mr.. Webster, Broughty Ferry, near

age from Shields TO Bombay with Goals
The Arracan left Shields on the 1Ith of

hundred miles from the nearest land,

In addition to myself, there were
three men and boy on board the 10th
of March. The men cast lots as to who
should be killed, and the lot fell upon
the boy. 1 would not allow them to
kill him, and threatened to shoot the

The surgeon of the steamer which
rescued the men says they we're in
wretched condition. They could not
stand on their feet; their eyes started
from their sockets, and they were per

sented the most painful sight he ever
beheld. The most cautious treatment
had TO be employed in bringing about
their recovery.

A Son Of Napoleon III.

The ghost of Louis Napoleon, or what
looks strangely like the wrath of the
defunct emperor, may be seen daily
haunting the restaurant Morel, back of
the Opera Comique in Paris. a cafe
much frequented by artists and authors.
The ghost in question is no other than
the son of the dead ruler, the eldest
child of the late celebrated Mrs. How
ard. He is remarkably like mis- father
IAN advantage which the prince impe-
mai does not enjoy, and is said to re-
semble him also in conduct. He Is 6
middle-aged man now, but is not in the
least a settled or steady one, and his
habits of dissipation and extravaganza
used to give the emperor much trouble.
To get rid of this wild scion, and to
avoid the scandals which might have
been set afioat by the liberals respect
ing his conduct IN Paris, his fsther sent
him, first as consul Belfast, and finds
ing that still too near 80 France IN all
probability, he transferred him to the
consulate of Zanzibar. He Is now resid-
ing In Paris, and bears the title of
Count de BUre. Some dsy perhaps he
may play the part of Duke de MorDy

Crop Prospects at Home and Abroad.

The reports from Austria are not so
favorable to the crops, and only the
most propitious weather can preserve
certain districts from partial failure.
The crisis from which Austria still suf-
fers so severely would have been check
ed In a great measure if the crops last
year had been good. Should a second
poor harvest follow this year, it will be
difficult 20 over-estimate the disaster
which must ensue. Abundant crops
here, in conjunction with the active
demand from Europe for our varied
products, have played a more impOr-
tant part than is generally supposed
in rebutting the effect of last years
panic upon the commercial system of
the country. With exceptionally good
prospects for the crops here and an av-
erage demand from Europe for our sur
plus, there is no reason why our indus
tries should not rapidly recover. If
European countries are still IN the
slough of despond, some of them have
good reasons for it.-M 2. Bulletin.

Spain.

The Epoca Of Madrid has published
q letter addressed by Gen. Juan Burriei
TO the Revue les Deux Mondes explain
ing and defending his course at Santi-
ago in ordering the execution OF the
prisoners taken on board the NirginIua.
After citing the laws end orders which
he claims give warrant for his action.

military men to vacillate when they
have peremptory orders to obey, aud
still more when they are grave and i'm

sequently, no consideration whatever
ceuld make me pause before this duty,
