GreeIey's Trouble With His
Shirts.
Chicago Tribune.l

Chicago Tribune.l
One winter Mrs. Greeley went to
the West Indies for her health, and
the following spring she sent for her
husband to come after her and bring
her home to New York. Now, if
there was one thing the old man hated,
it was the sea. The very smell of salt
water made him sick. But, neverthe-
less, he obeyed his wife's call, as he
was accustomed to obey her every
within. In due time they got back to
Gotham, and that morning Mr.. Sin
clair received word that Greeley was
not feeling well, owing to his voyage,
and had decided to stay at home for
the day. In the evening Sinclair was
going to Washington on business, and
so, valise in hand, he called at Gree
ley's house and found the old man in
bed, and actually very i'll, having suf-
fered terribly from s~ea-sickness all the
way out and all the way back. He
was alone, the other members of the
family being i'll or away from home,
and so Sinclair determined to pass the
night with him, giving up for that
time, his trip to the capital.
Sinclair" said he, in that queru-
Ions whine of his, "I'm as naked as
the day l was born. My trunks
haven't arrived yet, and | haven't got
a id ni%ght-gown."
But why not wear this?" pointing
to the garment he had taken off before
getting into bed.
"0h, | expect to be out tomorrow
and | want that to wear then. How
the blazes would it look after I'd slept
in it?"
Well, in due time his luggage ar.
rived, and Sinclair made a bolt for the
article he wanted. After some rum,
maging he found it, and helped the
old man to put it on. 1t was speedily
fastened at the neck, and the nurse
took up one of the wrists and tried t
button it. There, however, he stuck
fast. The ends wouldn't meet by fully
two inches. He tugged and twisted t
his utmost, but it was no good. Still
as the patient said nothing, he sup
posed it ought to be fastened, anC
redoubled his efforts for that purpose
For about twenty minutes he laboreC
without success. Then he said
This is a failure. 1t won't fas
ten"
mo" replied Greeley, with exas
perating calmness, ~ knew il
wouldn't. The fact is, l never ooulC
button the Internal thing myself. Blu
you seemed to enjoy it, 50 l didn'
disturb you"
He lay back upon the pillow for
few moments, as If thinking deeply
and then, sitting bOlt-upright, h,
brought his fist down upon the quilt
and exclaimed savagely:
IF ever Mormonism works as ia.
east as this, I'LL be id if | don
haye one wife to take care of m,

PUBLIC LEDGER 0TFIcE,
MEMPHIS, December %, 1878,

In past years, this midwinter season,
found us with a tight money market, r
rency scarce and rates Of interest hard.
Now We have an abundance and to spare
Of currency, and with several leading
banks rather anxious to find a healthy de-
mand for money. They could easily lend
three or four hundred thousand at s per
cont interest for approved paper or good
collaterals. The general tone Of the ansn-
cial market is one Of ease, and discount
rates are steady at SOLO per cent.
Gold has been Of equal value with
greenbacks for the past three days. II
this continues, and there is no reason why
II should not, the yellow coin will soon
cease to be a quotable item.
There is TO demand for city scrip OF
other corporation securities. The recent
public discussion of the city debt problem
has had the effect of rendering a number
Of the bondholders stubborn, while prop
erty holders and taxpayers are equally
hard-headed. Quotations are nominal al
N@5Oc for old city bonds and 5Sc for con
ols. The plan proposed for a number o
able capitalists to buy up outstanding city
bonds at 25@SOc, each taking $4,000 o.
thereabouts, to be held until hecity coult
settle, is off for the present.
Exchange is active. The banks repor
themselves willing and able to handle al
that may be rendered. Rates unchangec
at % discount or 50 rs per $1,000 for East
ern cotton bills not carrying grace, and Z
discount for sight bills on New England
Checks on New York are sold readily a
par. New Orleans exchange is Il discoun
buying and par selling.

The market opened quiet this forenoon,
buyers being scarce and late getting to
work, owing to sleety weather and irregu-
lar dispatches from other points. The
rensral feeling was strong. Sales yester-
day were 500 bales-for export BOO. to
spinners 240O, for speculation 200. The
market closed steady and without change
of quotations; buyers, :however, claimed
10 be able to obtain better prices than were
offered during the forenoon. The days
sales included a table Of 800 bales full low
middiiHg at a little over Sc, and $50 bales
barely good middling at 9Ac.
The total receipts at all points in the
United States since September 1st is q
825, 972 bales, an increase over last year at
the same time Of 254,5S4 bales and a de-
crease against receipts Of the year beforeoi
43, 773 bales. Total stocks are now 763,3Ol
bales against Sl1,OS6 bales this time last
year and 941, 159 bales the year before.
The total receipts of cotton at Liver
pool since September 1st, as per telegram
of to-day, is 1000 bales in excess of las
year at the same date, 5000 bales above
the year before, and 2l,80O bales less thar
at this date in 1876. The stock at Liver
pool runs nearly equal to the stocks a
qhis date for the past four years.
