ANNAPOLIS KEPT EVEN WITH THE PETTY
PILFERERs.
"Steal - said the old man, in accents
of intense scorn. "Steal Why, you
would be astonished TO find how large a
porportion of the travelling public are IN
fernal thieves. They steal the bed-cloath-
inc, pillows, boot jacks, soap, sap dishes
everything, in fact, which they can car

itician) makes practice OF putting the
soap into his valise every time he pays his
bill He doesn't seem to use much OF 1t
himself, but | think he takes It home to
his children. The first thing to be done
when fellow comes to the office TO pay
his bill is TO send a porter up to his room
70 see if anything is missing. When a
fellow comes down with his yalise in his
hand We are unusually suspicious. The
one way to get even with the thieves Is to
keep - thief account" Whenever any
thing is missed charge it up at far
value, and the next time | catch thief

amount or go to Iail.
One day a nice-lookin8 fellow come
down with valise IN his hand, and III

ton to bolt, but Just then the porter came
down, and saw by his eye that some
thing was missing. | jumped over the
counter and grabbed the rascal by the
throat. "Open that valise, you id
thief. says l. He got very white about
the gills, and began to beg.
When the valise WAS opened, sure enough
there WAS a new bedspred for which had
paid five dollars. "Bill," says [, "bring
me the thief account" footed it up,
and it amounted to just ffty-six dollars,

GENERAL HOWARD AS MISSIS GUMMIDcE.
General Howard is certainly an rniucky
man. His recent Indian campaign brought
h;m only obloquy. The victory was snatch
ed out of his hands, and the laurels were seiz-
ed and Worn by Gen. Miles. And then, or
returning to Chicago, he is just in time to
receive a tremendous rap over the knuckles
from Con Sheridan, because one of his staff
took copy Of his report to the press before
it had been transmitted to the General. Ger
taihiy it looks as though this was a serious
breach of military discipline, and almost as
though It justified the malignant charge of
General Howard's enemies, that he is too
much of politician. But that christian off,
Ger takes all his reverses meekly, and 70 a
tender-hearted interviewer he confides his
sorrows, which really remind US irresistiblv
of the SORROWS. of Missis Gunmidge: "Tm a
lone, ''iorn widder, Danl,' observed that
depressed female, Sand everything goes con-
tr2ry with me,' So General Howard be-
means himself that everything "goes con-
trary" with him. Congress has seen fit to
rob hIm OF large sums of money, he remarks.
We suppose this involves 4 circumlocutOry
reference to the Freedmen's savings bank.
Then he has been accused OF beng politi-
ciar. And, keenest cut of all, he has actu-
ally been charged with the objectionable in
iquity OF writing articles for the press. This
would seem TO show that he is no better than
zone of them literary fellers" IS the repre-
sentative from New York observed. 1t is all
very sad, and the Generals low spirits can
scarcely be wondered at. But, as he says,
history viii vindicate him, if that is any con-
ISOLATION; which being interpreted means
that century hence somebody may under
take to prove he was prosecuted saint
whereupon somebody else will undertake to
demonstrate that he was a good deal mere
of !. traitor than Judas Iscariot or Benedict
Arnold For In this lopsided manner does
history yindicate the character of the de-
parted great ones In this vale of tears.-Er

We are indebted to Mr.. Fl. g. Hester. Secretary
OF the Cotton Exchange. for the following:
At meeting Of the Board OF Directors held
were unanimously adopted. viz:
Inasmuch as the late action of this board
concerning an allowance to buyers Of three
pounds per bale where side pieces form part
of the covering OF cotton wes partly influenced
by the assertion that there existed q law Of Con-
gress permitting their nonuse, as was set
forth In positive terms at the late session of the
National Cotton Exchange Of America, and in
asmuch as the law requiring the thorough COW
ers has not been changed. but the requirement
of the use Of side pieces on all such cotton. re-
tains In full force therefore be Ii
Resolved, That until Congress shall have
withdrawn the present legal requirement of
side pieces this board does not feel called upon
In opposition TO the wishes of the great body
OF those who ship cotton by river, to enforce
upon members of this Exchange the observ-
ance Of its rule of September 9Th, relating to
side pieces be and the same is hereby revoked.
md Is no longer binding upon members of this
Exchange.
Resolved. That this board deny that their
former action in relation to side pieces was in
any manner unjust to sellers or producers of
cotton. or solely in the interest Of buyers !;
that IN their opinion it was just and equitable

bales at irregular but generally stronger prices
requiring an advance of he In our outside quo
tations for some grades with no change in
others. We give also the figures and report of
the Exchange, as below:
