looking under the bed at once. He pre-

the terrific Oaths every night for six
months. varying the programme occa-

gradually hardened. He ceased to swear,
finding that he could not do the subject
justice; but in place of the noisy We

cold, heavy. silent wickcdness dozen
times worse than the original misfortune.
She did not como. His gray hairs fell

crowned his forehead, making him look,

Tie S;aHee War.

The Cincinnati Enquirey of the 2stl. says:
The determination of the coffee dealers here
to fight the arbitrary action. OF the New YORK
iobbers TO the bitter end gains strength daily,
and with this determination the openings Tor
purchases ut other points becomes more nu-
beine made ai from New Orleans parties and the
prospects for the future are 1t Is alleged. eX-
cellent; The buyers here are. indeed; more NOR,
strongly In earnest than indicated In their reso-
buttons Of last Wednesday. and are determined
to give the New York ring the clean go-by Il
they do not come to terms. That the New YORK
press admires their pluck and predicts success
for them Is shown by the following from the
Commercial AdrertizeF:
The Enquirer gives long article from their
New York contemporary on this subject, from
which we quote the following:
A. representative from Il large Cincinnati
house said to u Commercial reporter this morn
ing that the action Of the meeting there was
based on the fact that the Cincinnati merchants
claimed equal rights with those Q, every other
bers had withdrawn, their obnoxious circular
with regard to Philadelphia, and had permitted
the merchants of that city to ship how, Whetn
Western merchants have the same rights and
privileges. The trouble which arose from a
small cause had now, become one OF principle
or pride and If the New York jobbers allowed
their pride to override their judgment. the Gin
| cinnati merchants, as a matter, Of principle
goods In any way they pleased after they had
/ purchased them.
| The following conversation then ensued:
| Reporter-Wh do you mean by the pride OF
| the New York iobbers?
| Gincinnatian- jobbers have put forth a
certain dietatorial circular. to which has been
appended the signatures Of certain houses. The
| representatives of those houses, as inat|er Oh
PRIDE feel inclined to Withdrew from the posi-
| ton they haye, taken. notwithStanding the tact
| that many of them. even If 1t be not the larger
| number have felt that the whole movement was
| Il mistake.
Reporter From your correspondence do you
| hot Ct hnTr al
| the movement?
| Cincinnatian-t not only suppose. but know
that St Louis, Louisville and Pittsbufg will take
the trade to New Orleans before very, lons
time has expired. In fact. they have been think
ing over the matter for some months, and they
have the capital to back their ideas.
| Reporter-But can New Orleans supply thu
demands of the market2
Cincinnatian New orleans merchants are
like those Of other cities Show them that 1t vii
be % o1table to carry stocks Of coffres and the1
will soon obtain q supply sufficient for all pur
poses. It Is Just IA easy for vessels to run int
New Orleans with coffee as il is to New York
and the trade. once established there. will no
be likely to return to this city. The ,iobbers, !
they continue to be Obstinate may lose NOR
than half of their trade in a very short time
