MoRToN's MANNERS. - Senator
Morton is overwhelmed in Indianapolis
by applications for Office. Neafls
everybody in Indiana has got it int
his head that Morton is the msn to
help him. His callers number from
thirty to forty day, and his mails
average 6fty-fve to sixty letters each
They come from all parts of The
country and the State. He seldom.
throws letter into the waste basket or
refuses to do what he can to assist the
worthy and needy. He sits in a large
cushioned chair, crosses his legs and
writes upon small board which be
balances upon his knee. To the ordi-
nary writer the rapidity with which
he dashes off letter is perfectly
amazing. He uses ruled paper but
has contempt for the lines. Yet HIS
writing is easily read, revealing in its
irregular curves and bold strokes some
thing of the character of the man. He
rarely has occasion to erase a word on
modify sentence. for he writes as he
speaks, clearly, tersely and rapidly.
The newspapers read in the course of
twenty four hours would keep n ordi.
nary man busy during the day.
Nothing escapes his eye, aud when
once be has read an item it is not
forgotten. He is a great reader of
books. He has the faculty of goiny
through book with as much rapidity
as Macauley, and his reading is quite
as desultory. History, essay, biog
raphy, fiction, anything and everything
is devoured with a relish and rush.

LONGEVITY OF MULES. In a dis
cussion in the Sazerac Lying Club,
recently.a member asserted that mules
never die. He said they took on the
semb|ance of death, but it was a de.
ception. Sometimes they are turned
into newspaper editors and Roman
wrestlers, but they never cease to exist.
He said there is mule now used on
whlm on mine in Humboldt county
that was used as a breastwork at the
battle of New Orleans, was owned and
ridden by Grant in California, went all
through the war Of the Rebellion, was
blown up IN itro-glycerine explosion
while assisting in the construction of
the Central Pacific Railroad, was in
the Indian battle in which Custer was
slain, was in St. Louis when the
Southern Hotel was burned, and is a
pretty good mule yet, with the strength
of its hind legs only diminished to
about the striking power of 4OO.ton
steam hammer.-Austin (Nev) ReveiNc

BARRIERS often assert that razors get
tired of shaving, and that they will
perform satisfactorily if permitted to
rest for time. 1t has been found BY
microscopic examination that the tired
razor, from long stroppiog by the same
hand and in the same direction, has
the ultimate fbers Of its surface or
edge all arranged in one direction, like
the edge of a piece of cut velvet; bat
after months rest these fiSers rear
range themselves heterogenously,
crossing each other and presenting a
saw-like edge, each fiber supporting It's
fellow. and hence cutting the beard
instead of forcing it down fat withous
cutting, as when laid by.

IT appears that P. I. Barnum has
offered the sum of SIC, 900 for the re-
turn of the boy Charley Ross, who was
kidnapped. Should Barnum be so for
tunate as to find the boy Charley, the
parents have consented to allow Ba,-
NUN to exhibit the boy or refund IT,
him the money paid. Barnum is the
man to take hold Of the matter, and
will be as likely to succeed as any other
living man.

the contract with B at maturity.
Suppose the market declines to 45
cents before A orders the corn to be
resold. In that case the margin is
exhausted, and B calls on A for more
money to protect the trade, because
G will call on B to protect the con-
tract in the same way.
If A thinks corn will decline, he
may order b to sell for delivery in
July. He may order B to either
buy or sell wheat, pork, lard, or oats
iustead of corn, and to make the
transaction for any other month than
July, or for the whole of the current
year, if he wishes. The principle is
the same in all cases. A contract is
made to receive or deliver, at a GER
tain price, certain quantity of a
named article at some time in the
future, and a. sum of money is de-
posted as security that the person
making the trade will perform his
part of the contract within the time
named for its performance.
Another point generally lost sight
of by parties outside the Board is
the fact that prices advance or de-
cline as the number of buyer or sell
lers preponderates. The news that
Russia has determined to make war
on Turkey is flashed over the CON
tinent, and 500 men think simulta.
neously that it is good time tc
buy. Each sends in an order to
purchase, and there are few sellers;
hence the price advances rapidly
Two or three days afterwards, &
dash of peace news is sent over the
wires, and all these men send in or.
ders to sell; the market declines
rapidly under the weight of offer
ings. The commission-merchant
here has nothing to do with the up
ward or downward movement II
prices, except as he is obeying the
instructions of his client. Yet that
client will excitedly berate the Chi
cago Board of trade as pack OF
gamblers, ignoring the fact that ht
is the real gambler, if any there be
and that he has lost his money be
cause too many other men were
similarity affected with himself at
the same instant.
Of course there is a good deal O
trading on Change that is no bet
ter than gambling; but it is alse
true that no small part of this buy
ing and selling for future is just a
legitimate an operation as is tht
purchase of a barrel Of flour fo
home consumption.-CAi. Zrib.

Con-. VANDERBILT's WIDow.-A
correspondent at Richmond, Va,
writes: The widow of the late Com.
modore Vanderbilt was a Miss Craw-
ford. Of Georgia, before her marriage.
She has some first cousins in Virginia
and with one Of these. before her mar
riage with the Commodore, she had
become very favorably impressed. He
was young M. D. They met, they
corresponded, and it was generally be-
lieved by their mutual friends that
they would marry. The Commodore S
millions interviewed, however, she be-
came Mrs. Vanderbilt and the young
Virginia doctor married beautiful and
accomplished young lady of his native
country. The doctors young wife
died in giving birth to her first child,
the child soon following her. Left
thus free again, the doctor remained a
wldower, as he still is. Since the
death of the Com modore, the Virginia
doctor and Mrs. Vanderbilt have re-
newed their interrupted intimacy and
correspondence, and it is reported by
those who ought to know that when
decent interval has elapsed from the
demise Of the Commodore, the cousins
will be united in marriage. Both the
lady and gentleman in this case of free
love triumphant have acted with the
utmost propriety and the friends of
both can rejoice with unalloyed salts
faction in their ultimate union. The
Virginia doctor, although not very
wealthy, has decent competence and
a fine practice.
