The general markets to-day were quiet and
prices during the past week have undergone
no marked change.
Groceries are steady, with fair jobbing de-
mand for sugars and coffees.
In dry goods, we note firmneSs In all de-
scriptions Of cotton fabrics, with tendency to
advanced quotations.
The grain market is quiet. Corn is in light
request, with liberal receipts. Oats are steady.
Wheat is steady at our quotations; the offer
ings include but few samples of strictly prime
grades. Provisions have fiuctuated somewhat
during the week, the market to-day giving ev-
idence of weakness, with decline of about
&c. The produce markets are fairly active,
with liberal receipts of eggs, poultry and but
ter, and prices are declining.
The New York Daily Bulletin of this date
reports the markets as follows:
Receipts to-day LIS bbls. The demand
is of moderate and cautious character still,
and the tone somewhat irregular. As a rule,
the receivers do not feel inclined TO allow
stocks to accumulate to any extent, and held
rapidly as possible; but, considering the re
ductiOn on cost already made and the near APP
proach of Lent, strictly fresh are probably
offered with a little more care than last week.
Prices, however, are easier again to-day, and
&c is the top to be obtained, while &c by many
seems to be considered high enough TO quote.

A young man, thirty. years of age, was

The Rights OF Witnesses.

Both before and since the days of Mr.
Sergeant Buzfuz, lawyers in court have,
at least occasionally, asked witnesses inn
pertinent and not pertinent questions
and especially when crOss-cxamined, have
these indispensable allies to the admins
tration of justice seemed sometimes to
possess no privileges which legal acumen
and brow-beating considered worth re-
speeding. The rights of witnesses at the
present time are by no means either de-
fined or secured; and many persons who
suffer wrong in quiet rather than suffer
long in the Witness box, or who know by
smarting experience the misery Of both
conditions, will be pleased-perhaps even
elated--to learn that Mr.. Billion, Lon
don lawyer, has been publicly rebuked for
endeav0ring to cast q stigma upon the
reputation of a witness by asking him an
impudent question. "Have you ever
been convicted Of perjury!' inquired the
lawyer. Never" warmly responder
the witness. eff there is not sufficient
ground for it." interposed the Judge, 1.-THE
question is most improper one to put.

the Judge, with the faintest tinge of sar.

cate should make some inquiry and have
some proof before him before he puts
such questions to q Witness" We think

The Tjmldity Of Birds.

The oriolc now builds its hanging-nest
with the pieces of string, hOrse-hair, yarn
and carpet-ravelings, which are to be
found in abundance about houses and
barns, and have seen q nest into which
three fish-lines, with their hooks and
sinkers, several yards o. kite-tail from a
telegraph wire, and a shoe. string, were
interviewer. Of course 1t is not natural
for the bird to use such material as this,
but the odds and ends furnished by man
are much better fitted to its needs than the
grass and fibers used by t. less civilized
ancestors. This change certainly shows
power to improve in accordance with
changed conditions, but it may, perhaps,
be said that it is not an example of change
in an instinct, but simply in q -heredi-
tary habit. The fear of man, shown by
almost all tie smaller animals, 10 in many
cases newly acquired, for in regions un-
inhabited by man it is not shown, and il
is only as the animals of such regions
learn, by generations of persecution. that
man is highly and peculiarly dangerous
that they come to avoid him; yet this feaI
is truly instructive, for it is shown by the
young as we'll as by the adult. The testi.
mony of travellers as to the tameness OF
animals in regions where they have never
been persecuted is we'll known. For in.
stance, Darwin, in his "Journal" Of the
voyage of the Beagle, says: This dis.
position is common to all the terrestrial
species of the Galapagos Islands, namely
to the hooking thrush, the finches, wrens

Central On. ~ Park Accident.

FIVE years ago last July the wife of a
well-tO-dO provision dealer, while out IN
Central Park, accompanied by q little
daughter, left the carriage near the mall,
and started of to enjoy the shady walks
of the beautiful park. Little May gam
boiled upon the grcensward and pecrcd
into the hidden retreats, while her mother
occupied q seat ON one of the benches.
UnnOticed by the mother, the little girl
strayed out into the carriage.way, which
was lined with fast teams. A piercing
scream fell upon the mothers car, and
springing up she was Mortified to sec lit
tie May right in front of double team,
whose driver was vainly drawing the rein
to save the child. At the very moment
when she expected to see her little treas
ure crushed or killed, a cOlOrcd livcTicd
servant sprang from carriage, seized the
child, and hurled it beyond the reach If
the horses, was knocked down, himself,
run over and severely injured. The graf
itude of the mother for the salvation Of
her child found vent in q prOfusion of
thanks. With her costly embroidered
handkerchief she strOked and wiped the
blood from the wounds of the gallant
mulatto, and after aecertaining his name
requested him to call at her house and re-
ceive the thanks Of her husband. The
lackey did call, and received substantial
present for his bravery, and was dis
missed with the admOnitiOn that If he ever
lost his situation he must apply to Mr..

rupt. Six months later little Mays father
died, leaving his family, consisting If
Mrs. - and little May, only few
thousand dollars with which TO face the
vicissitudes of life. The widow. who WIS
still young, opened fashionable board
ing. house, which she had furnished with
the remnant of her late husbands estate,
and eked out respectable subsistence. A
few months ago the mulattO present
ed himself at the residence, re-
ported that he was out of employment
and was at once installed in the house as
waiter and man. of-all-work. But the
most remarkable part of the romance is
that the fair widow became enamOred Of
the comely charms of Henry. spent much
of her time in his society, and finally, in
less than six months after he entered her
house, they were married by . New Ser
sey Justice. Henry Is still the modest
waiter and purchasing agent for the house,

Citations between the couple. 1t was only
when the Justice called at the house y
few days ago to see an acquaintance. and
recognized them - the parties he had
married, and their well-kept secret leaked
out. The only reference to the matter in
