There was more done the past week than for
some time past. Some good loans were neeo-
tinted at rclnunerative figures for agents. The
market is free from spasms, and appears to
have settled down to steady condition. There
is still a fair demand for money Tor building
purposes, at per cent. Improvements arc
coine steadily forward, notwithstanding the
Iatencss Of the season. The rumors OF war In
Europe, and the threatened trouble in this
country over the Presidential election, have
not materially affected the supply Of loanable
funds. Some timfd creatures arc holding OF,
but there are a sufficient number of others to
fill the vacuum who are not scared by triles.
There is but little money changing hands at z
per cent, the needed security for these low
priced funds becoming scarcer. Payments arc
very good, and the p-omptncss in this important
particular is an increasingly prominent item in
the weeks business. The important trans

had evidently been begun in the car was cou-
tinued thus: 'tNow, Jerry Hammerslic, you an

Tie notice of the arrival at New York OF Earl
Roseberry reminds ME OF the number Of Amcri-
can girls who have been Tilted By foreigners on
account Of their lack of fortune. There are more
than one Of the fair bellies Of Washington who
have been similarly treated. Que young lady
even went So far as to change her religion in
order to remove what the family called an Oh
lection Her lover departed with the promise
of returning. She has never seen him since;
but shortly after his arrival in France he wrote
to announce his marriage to lady whom his
father had selected for him on account Of the
dover she brought. Six years ago Count
Turenne, one Of the attaches Of the French
Legation, plighted his troth to beautiful girl
in Georgetown. The Count met with an ac-
cident in lis childhood that has dwarfed his
proportions, and produced lameness from
which 1e will ne7er recover. notwithstanding
these defects, the young lady preferred him TO
all other suitors. The Counts father refused
his sanction to a marriage without the necessary
settlement being made This the young lady's
father cannot do, without impoycrisAing his
large family; aud, much US they would like to
be allied to the great house OF Turenue, they
arc not disposed to make SO great 4 sacrifice.
The Count was so jealous OF his betrOtllcd that
while lie was here he would not permit her to
see any company, even with her sisters, in her
mothers parlor. When lie returned to Europe,
five years ago, he laid the same injunction upon
her. She has been rccluse all this time, while
he enjoys society in Paris and Rome. Every
six months it is announced that the marriage is
to take place, but * He comes not" she cries.
Perhaps lie is waiting fur mis- fathcr's death.
Most people believe that lie is inyp1.-
slant and that be no longer desires his
fathers consent. Ills letters and presents
continue to arrive, and it may be case Of
true love, but, il all is true that is said OF such
alliances, the deserted girls are the most fortu-
mite. It alleged that these foreign gentle
men rule their wives and speak to them very
roughly. That don't suit our free-spoken, in
dependent girls. They are educated to believe
themselves the equals of any man, and if there
band They expect to be treated with defer
ence and respect, and to be allowed large lib
crty It is suid that the most fruitful source of
trouble is the children. The mother wishes to
care for them herself, as do all good American
mothers: but these foreigners don't like any
