The Grain Trade.

The New Orleans circular of Miller
Dohonde q Co., says ''The Eads jetties
Are a success, and there is plenty OF
water for vessels of almost all sizes TO
come in and 20 out. The ocean tonnage
at this port is very large. Many vessels
are here waiting for grain cargoes. The
trouble is not 80 much in the want OF
grain to come, as in the want of river
tonnage to bring it here for a fair and
reasonable compensation. When will
our river men awake to the fact that our
river interests are not now, and never
again will be what they once were.
Fancy steamboating is played out, and
there is but little use of vessels other
than freighters. Such, however, are in
fair demand. Regular steamers, and
other steamboats,, could perhaps arrange
their tonnage capacity to take bulk
grain, and at the same time tow barges
with like cargoes, Barring Brothers, who
have turned their attention to the New
Orleans grain trade, will make a good
thing of it, They can lay down grain in
Liverpool for six cents per bushel less
than via New York--which alone is a
big item when the transactions amount
to hundreds of thousands OF bushels, and
may reach into the millions as soon as
the advantages of New Orleans are un-
derstood by the commercial world at
large. The freight on grain in bulk, by
steamers, at present is rs Cd per quarter
of four hundred and eighty pounds to
Liverpool, or l0ld with five rer cent.
primage per bushel of sixty pounds,
which is about equal in United States
currency to twenty-five cents per bushel
to Liverpool, England. Marine iuSur-
ancc from New Orleans to England is
one and one fourth per cent; river ilsur-
ance from st. Louis to New Orleans is
one per cent.

New swiudIing Scheme.

Lige Black has invented new swindle
in the confidence line of business, and for
attempting to live on his wits now Ian
guishes in duraLce vile. Yesterday q.
Nc Mansway's saloon, on Main street, he
approached q man named Henry Nc.
Amick, hsiling from the Ohio side of the
river, near Bridgeport, and proposed to
give his watch rs security for
the loan of dollar. The man
took his watch and in return
gave Black dollar bill. Shortly after
wards, after several drinks had been taken
by the party, Black asked McAmlck for
the watch, claiming that he had returned
the money borrowed. McAmick not
having received the money refused u
return to Black the watch, and as re-
suit words led to blows, and Black struck
the Ohloan two or three times IN the
face, and made an effort to force him to
give up the property. Failing in this,
he finally returned the money and re-
ceved the watch. But This did not pa
city the troubled waters in McAmicks
breast; he was 10th to let the matter
drop, and accordingly swore out war
rant for Black, charging him with as
sault. Black was arrested later in the
day, and locked up for his appearance
before the police court this morning.

that readily commend themselves W
our working citizens who are on the
lockout for an Investment one OF these
is the period the association has TO run
only five years. Heretofore SIX ana Q
half wears has been the general limit.
Another is the method of collecting the
interest, which is weekly. The shares
are $3.50 each. The capital stock SON.
600. The weekly dues twenty-five cents. !
Whenever q share or more Is borrowed
out the dues and and interest Will oe
exactly forty cents per week on eacn
share. Formerly the interest was pay O.
BILE quarterly, aud if many shares were
borrow owed out, as was frequently the case,
it required tremendous quarterly effort
to meet the obligation. Then if any
thing went wrong, such'as sickness or
lack of work, it was still more onerous
and sometimes nearly insurmountable to
come up to the scratch on time. Bu'
the excellent provision of the new cor
poration to paw interest weekly greatly
obvlstes the difficulty. There are other
points, too, that make this association
I very superior, which those interested can
learn for themselves on application. YET
before closing it might be said the H.

stockholders and directors of the first and

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE
NEW YORK STATE NOR.
NAL SCHOOL.

To use any one or more OF Peoples
Remedies is to like them, and to make
renewed calls for them whenever their
need is felt There are seven different
kinds, and no one is recommended as 8
"cure all" Each has ITS place, and 10
that case will work wonders. For in.
stance, the Blood and Liver Remedy and
Nerve Tonic will cure MI blood diseases
and restore and build up the nerves; the
Capitol Bitters will at once bring on the
appetite and increase the strength; the
Catarrah Remedy readily heals catarrah !;
the improved Cough Honey breaks up
colds and cures coughs; the Golden Re.
lief cures any pain or Inflammation, and
the st. Vitus Dance Specific readily cures
st. Vitus Dance. So each has
its place They are all special rem
edies except the Blood and Liver
Remedy and Nerve Tonic, which is
a remedy for regulating the general sys-
tenn. They all act better and quicker
when the system Is under the healing
and regulating influence of the Blood
and Liver Remedy and Nerve Tonic.
For instance, Cstsrrh is readily cured by
the Catarrh Remedy. when the system is
at the same time placed in healing con-
dition by the Blood and Liver Remedy
and Nerve Tonic.
