The war on the whiskey ring is steadily
carried on, Notwithstanding the attempt to
create diversion in favor of those implicated
in the frauds. The President has promptly
made all the removals suggested by Secretary
Bristow, and is determined to dismiss all
officials who are implicated in the frauds, or
who show any negligence in discovering or
checking them.

IT is we'll known that Cromwell had three
heads, or at least that three skulls which he
is said TO have worn on his shoulders, are ex-

some one comes forth and suggests that two
Of the skulls belonged to Bradshaw and Ire
ton, whose head-pieces along with that of the
Protector adorned Temple Bar. The maker
of this Suggestion offers no evidence in its
support. while there is abundant evidence OF
the authenticity of the claims long made for
tae three skulls; so for the present we must
cling to the Cerberus theory.

THE Treasury has been wrestling with the
question, "What is Melado." and has come
to the conclusion that it is cane juice boiled
down iu the process of sugar-making to the
point required to make muscovado, or clayed
sugar, and then put into light packages con-
tanning all the molasses and other impurities
incident in the production of sugar arrested
at this point. 1t has been practice with
some merchants to put small quantities OF
molasses into hogsheads of sugar in Cuba
and then bring it to this country and enter ii
as melado. The revenue has thus been de-
frauded to a large amount.

THE BREADsTUFF market still has a
downward tendency, but has now prob
ably about struck bottom. The reports
from abroad and from the grain-growing
districts of this country, having shown
that the foreign demand would not be
what was at first expected, and that the
damage by the rains was not near SO
great as had been represented, the
high prices reached ten days ago
could not, of course. be sustained. The
excitement that prevailed upon the an
nouncement of general crop failure in
Europe, and consequent heavy foreign
demand, which came almost simultane-
ously with the exaggerated reports of
the destruction Of our own crops by the
rains and floods, served to load up spec
uIators, and so dampen the feeling OF
buyers as to maintain very quiet tone,
especially among exporters. 1t is to the
interest of all regular traders in bread
stuffs, both sellers and buyers, that the
market be kept as free as possible Fl ON
all speculative reports, 80 that they can
do steady business without jerks.

A London Ghild's Holiday.

| The poorer classes Of London children
are not travellers as rule, and their ex-
cursions do not often extend farther
than few miles. A trip made on one OF
the steamers that carry passengers a
short distance Tor a penny is considered
an important and delightful outing,
while a whole days sail is something
never to be forgotten. A fav0rite hoii-
day journey ID TO Kew, where the finest
botanic gardens in England are situated,
| and when you happen to be in London |
should advise you 10 make this trip, as
| 1t is pleasure in itself, and will also en-.
able you TO see how the children there
enjoy themselves.
The starting point is at the London
Bridge, which is 50 old in story and his
tory. The Thames here is shallow,
sluggish and narrow. You can almost
throw a stone across it, and it is not
easy to think of it as the great stream
al out which you nave read 30 mucn.
Large vessels Can not ascend 80 far, as
the water IL not deep enough, but you
can see forest OF masts in the extensive
docks lower down. The river steam
boats are moored at little pier under
one side OF the bridge.
They are bits Of side-wheelefs, not
much larger than the tow-boats OF Amer
lea, and not much handsomer. The only
accommodations TOR passengers are a
few uncovered wooden benches on deck
and u gloomy little cabin below. They
are built OF iron and painted black or
gray. In shape-or in model, as "a sailor
would say--they are pretty enough, and
they look as though they might be swift;
but they have no other element Of beauty.
You buy your tickets at an office on
the pier, as warning bell hastens you
on board. The captain stands on a
bridge between the paddle-boxes. Un-
derneaUh there ls small boy, with a
very old-fashioned tace, who seems to be
paying diligent attention TO nothing in
particular. But at a motion of the cap
tain's hand, without lifting hise eyes, he
drawls out to man on the lower-teck,
"Ahead, half speedW and you can feel
the paddle-Wheels revolving.
You expect to see some one boxing his
ears tie next moment for misleading the
engineer; but he still sits on the grating
OF the boiler-house, solemnly c0ntempla-
ting the knots in the planks. Again the
captain raises his hand. "Full
|Spe-e-e-dw the small boy screams, and
the engine goes faster at his command.
BY and by you begin to understand that
he belongs to the boat, and is a substi-
tuie for a bell, and you can not help adj
miring the modesty With which he COM

THE Lawrence, Mass, cotton mills will
commence work Monday under very
favorable circumstances. The sales Of
the accumulated stock have been large,
the jobber's demand is heaty, and re-
ports from correspondents indicate a
brisk fall business and money with
which to.pay. This is the result Of good
crops in all parts OF the country, and as
a consequence, prospect for money in
the hands of the people who will put it
afloat. What is true of the Lawrence
cotton mills will hold good in other
branches of trade. Do not mind what
the politicians tell you about depression
in business. Prepare for a season o,
general commercial activity and you
will not miss an opportunity. Purchasers
will have money to spend and will spend
it, and those who have contemplated a
brisk trade and made arrangements ac-
cordingly will reap the benefits.

to stay with them. The truth was she
had suffered long and Ia silence and was
now Indifferent to everything. She had
lost the best attraction Of Ire, and why
should she desire TO return to the spot
where her perjured lover was, perhaps,
trifling with the affections OF some other
innocent hearth
Herpafents granted her request, and
were surprised at the coldness with
which she saw them depart. 1t was not
until she heard the wheels rattling away
from the door that she felt her utter deso-
lation and wept with convulsive sobs.
/ Ii was one morning in winter when
the roads were covered with snow, that
traveller halted at the door and deliv-
cred Violet letter. As soon as she
perceived the superscription she retired
pale and breathless to her re0m, and
hastily tore 1t open. 1t was. from her
lover. He acknowledged his unworthi-
ness and infdelity, but said that he was
on his death-bed, and would like to be-
hold her face again ere he bid farewell
to earthly scenes. Her feelings rose to
| frenzy as sne read his penitent words,
and she wept bitterly. The mail coach
during the winter months took another
road some two miles distant from the
house. She must reach that point with
out delay. But howp The only horse
on the place was SO lame that he could
not be used The sky was cloudy and
the wind was rising at every moment.
There was evidently storm at hand
Should she brave the danger Of Going
forth alonef
After few moments prayer she arose,
and wrapping herself In thick clothing,
| went forth. When her absence was dis
covered theservants were alarmed. And
as the day Wore on, and a terrible snow
storm eetln, they gave vent to lamenta-
tons. Thick black night came, but
brought no Violet.
In the morning every creature In the
house went forth to Search for the mis-
tress. The snow lay 80 deep in the road
that they could scarcely force their way
through it; but at last they discovered
the object of their search. She was sit
ting at the foot of an old tree, under the
lee of small hill. Her look was that Of
life, but she was as cold as the marble of
the tombs. Her right hand grasped the
letter she had just received, as If she had
been 10th to part with it, even In the mo-
ment of death.
! Poor girl, the storm had overtaken hers
before she could reach the post road,
and she died in the endeavor to gain
Scott Rathby's bedside ere he went hence
torevermore.
