Then and Now in New
Orleans.

Says the New Orleans cores
pondent of the Baltimore San :
"This morning, as | was standing
in the rotunda of the St. Charles
Hotel, Colonel Rivers, proprietor
of the hotel, Grew my attention
to a man who was sitting off by
himself in one of the corners.
He was a man apparently about
sixty years of age; he had down.
cast look; his feet were peering
through his boots; his linen was
soiled and torn, his black clothes
were spotted and shiny, and
yet there was about him the un-
mistakable indications of a de-
cayed gentleman.
"You see that man?" said.
Colonel Rivers.
"He was once among the
wealthiest of our sugar-planters,
the owner Of hundreds of slaves;
one of the best customers of this
hotel, and his bill would aver
age from $75 to 500 a day.
Now he has scarcely money e.
nougb to buy his breakfast. He
haunts this hotel constantly,
and it may be because it reminds
him of what he used to be-"
: "Our bar-rooms," said
Colonel Rivers, "don't do more
than one-half Of the business
done before the war. Two-thirds
of our guests are now Northern
people, whereas before the war
they were all Southern people.
Many of our large plantations
are now owned by Northern
and Western men. Some of
our best young men are now o.
yerseers on the plantations
which belonged to their fathers.
[ know now a gentleman who
used to spend piles Of money in
this hotel who never put a sad
die on his own horse, but who
is glad to hire on his own place,
which, with its 'niggers,' was
worth 100000, forS6O Oamonth."
AS Colonel Rivers concluded
his interesting recital of old
times, he sighed gently and re-
marked: my dear boy, I feel
a little blue to-day; let's have a
bottle of wine"

An AMUSING BLUNDER

An AMUSING BLUNDER.-
Some years ago, during a DEM
ocratic State Convention held
at Syracuse, there occurred q
large Sunday school picnic, to
which many Of the delegates
we're invited, and which a few
attended. Among those who
accepted were John Van Bu-
rem and Gen. Nye. Mr.. Van
Buren, was requested to make a
little talk to the little people, ,and,
though it was little out of his
line. cheerfully assented. In
the course of it he sought TO
impress upon the juveniles that
honesty was the best policy, and
that politicians Of all classes
were quite too apt to sell and be
sold. BY way of illustration
he added, "You remember how
Abraham Of old traded his
birthright for a mess of pot
tage." General Nye, who sat
directly behind him, gave a pull
at his coat-tails, and said, 'Hold
on, John, you haUe got the hair
on the aCrOag man."

Sewing Machines.

We are told, and presume
there is no doubt of the truth
of the statement, that the manu-
featuring cost of an ordinary
$65 sewing-machine is about
$6,25, while an $50 machine
from the Bridgeport shops costs
in the frame ready for shipment
something under $40. There is
no invention that has yielded
so many and large fortunes to
those controlling its rights and
sale as the sewing machine.
And now can be seen the diff
ference between the manufact-
uring cost and the prices realiz-
ed, and the immense numbers
used? That has been going on for
nearly thirty years, and still the
controllers Of the invention and
its improvements are not satis-
fed; like the horse-leech, they
cry for more. They are in
force at Washington, so we are
told, to secure an extension of
what is called the feed-motion,
the patent for which expires
early next month. 1t has al
ready been once extended. We
hope it may now be permitted
to expire without another re-
ncwal.

After ali the talk about "fri-

appears that there are more il
Legitimate births in Germany.
In France the illegitimate births
are about 20 in 1000, while in
Prussia, out of 1000 births, 120
are illegitimate; and in South
ern Germany 200 out of 1000
are illegitimate. In Lower
