said that Jordan, the New York Green
wood drummer, recently met with the
following rather amusing experience
In his extensive travels. On going Ia
hotsl in one of our large cities he
was assigned to a room previously
partly occupied. After being shown
the way 10y the polite and acCOmm0da.
ting clerk, he went to his apartment,
found the door open, Il candle dimly
burning on the Centre~table, and the
only bed in the room occupied by the
stranger who was to be his roommate
for the night. The unknown man
seemed to be taking his rest, and not
wishing to disturb him, Jordan quietly
disrobed himself, said his prayers,
blew out the candle and went to bed.
Pefore he had quite fallen to sleep he
was somewhat startled by the entrance
of a young gentleman and lady, who
relighted the candle and soberly seated
themselves in corner OF the room In
full view of the hero OF this incident.
The intruders chatted away in sug.
ges.ive and aflectionate manner, just
M lovers always do. The novelty
of the situation seemed to have
its effect upon them, and after
sundry comments on the weather, the
latest gossip and small society talk, the
pair settled down to "busluess All

listner, and he WAS prepared for the
kisses which fell upon the willing lips

his bed-fellow with his elbow, but the
stranger slept on. Then followed a
scene of atfecti0nate demonstrations
between the couple in the corner.
Jordan determined to wake his UNI
known friend so that he might see the
fun. Raising his hand, he laid it upon
the face of the unconscious sleeper,
and then his hair, in holy horror,
stood on end. The face was cold and
clammy-he was sleeping with a
corpse! Shooting up straight through
his canopied couch Jordan appeared
before the startled pair "A veritable
ghost. The young man and lady dis

Rather CooI For JuIy.

st. Louis Times The meanest thing
vet is the conduct Of the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western RAILROAD On
the rolls of the Ninth New Jersey resl-
ment were several men who were EN-
ployed about the yards and docks Of
the company in Hobokeu. The men
were ordered to report to the armory
for duty, and the regiment was ordered
under arms solely for the purpose OF
protecting the railroad company's prop
erty in Hoboken. After the disturbah'
cies were over, these employees were
locked for the time they had given to
military duty. Political economy Will
claim that capital had right to do this
thing, or even discharge the men who
had presumed to risk their lives in pro-
tecting its property.

gaIais ROYAL.

Among the many changes to take place soon
on the grand boulevard none will be more strik-
ing and moro indicative OF the good time to come
than the swaying 10 tho breeze the banners OF the
grand "palais Royal" Our enterprising friend
Levy, who has for 40 many years been the popu
lar proprietor OF the dollar store, No. 137 Canal
street. seems TO have had his faith shaken In re-
publican institutions and ideas, aud lie deter
mined with one fell swoop, to obliterate the
name of dollar store forever. He il making prep
aratiene FOR the opening of this elegant and gor-
geous establishment, and nothing will be spared
in making IL the moet attractive place in the
Southern country. Levy's dollar store lie known
throughout the whole South, and 10 II has been
known for its promptness in filing orders and
the polite attention of the clerks and the place to
got everything, so will the palais Royal grow
into popular favor. for we will see in the large
and gilded signs that are to adorn the building
evidences of q new era, q prosperity which we
have longed for but never expected until the
present time.

A committee of the Cotton Exchange

A committee of the Cotton Exchange
waited ON the Hon. II. John Ellis yes
terday 10 request his attendance ct an
informal meeting OF the members OF the
Exchange to consider and take such
measures as will meet the exigenoy pre-
scented by the low stage Of Red river
aud the entire interruption of the navi-
cation thereof.
Mr.. Ellis received the committee at
his office and, expressing bis regret that
his departure Ia the evening for Wash
ington required preparations that
would consume all bis time, stated that
one Of the main objects OF his visit TO
Washington was to urge the govern
ment to immediate action In reference
to the object of their mission, to wit :
the closing of Tones bayou. There was
an unexpendei balance to the credit OF
the Improvement OF rivers and harbors,
which he hoped to induce the Federal
authorities to apply TO the work. He
fully appreciated the urgency of such
action, and he trusted the government
would. The government had already
made good application OF this fund to
the clearing out the distractions Of the
Ouachita river, which was now free for
navigation of boats for all the demands
OF the section Of country drained by 1t.
The commerce Of the Ouaehita was not
more than a fifth that Of Red river.
Mr.. Ellis could not see how any govern
ment having the power and means
should hesitate to come to the relief Of
its people. placed In the situation OF this
city and the Red river parishes in re-
gard to the serious interruption of
transportation and communication by
this great casualty.
The cotton gentlemen retired with
the confident assurance that Mr.. Ellis
would spsre no efforts to move the gov
eminent to apply the relief 30 imperi-
ously demanded by the great interests
involved.
