WnIcH WAS THE GREATEST 2-The
colored congregation of Richmond, Va,
have just settled grave question in q
manner thoroughly original and per
fectly satisfactory to themselves. A
Cumberland colored debating society
have tackled another, which they will
settle definitely by dint Of argument.
A gentleman Of this city was called up
on the other night by colorcd man,
who desired TO know II he could bor-
row the "Life of Martin Luther" He
stated that he was q member of de-
batting society and the next question
before the association was, "Who was
the greatest man, Nimrod or Martin
Luther Z" He was desirous Of fortify-
ing bis position with all tho facts he
could get in the history Of the latter.
Some Of the questions discussed in tho
societies of our colored friends are nov.
elites. We are told that debating
society in this city some years ago had
for discussion the following question
"lf q man has thousand dollars in his
house and bediast wife in the same
building and the house takes fire, al.
lowing him only time to remove either
one or the other, which should he car.
ry out2' The debate lasted an entire
week, and attracting crowds of all class

The jobbing trade has not been over crowded
by business generally during the week, mer-
chants attributing the sudden depres-

is little wheat sent to market. Farmers
throughout the entire State are indignant with
the grading of wheat and the low prices offeret
by the ring buyers. They are holding their
wheat from market, and consequently trade
with country dealers is almost stopped. This
affects the jobbing interest of st. Paul inn
menseIy, bnt in some branches of trade more
than Others. Collections are reported az slow.
There are but few changes in quotations in
groceries and the market is quiet. Sugars
