In ordor not to be troubled with
the "details of the daily sales, the
larger mushroom growers make
contracts for six months or a wear
with one of tho agents of tho
markets. Tho agent engages to
take the whole crop at from $40 to
Sl2 per cwt., according to the
season, for the prico of mushrooms
falls sonsibly y when the new years
vegetables begin to arrive in the
market. The mushroom grower,
on his side, guarantees a certain
minimum of production, and binds
himself not to sell to other agents.
Thore are in Paris fifty
agents who have the monopoly Of
this trade, who supply the green
grocers' shops and restaurants, the
stalls in the markets, the manu-
facturers Of preserved vegetables,
and, to a certain extent, tho
provinces.
THE HOSSER-dCKLEN SENSATION,
The latest scandal in high life is
the alleged indecent assault In
Washington restaurant last week
Of Congressman Acklen, of Louisi-
ana, upon the beautiful sister-in-
law of Northern Congressman
whose wife is herself famous beam
ty. Acklen is the Demoorat who
displaced Darrell, He is young
and handsome and welcome NOM
Der of the first society of the nation

Rossor, an ex-Confederate officer,
being in another apartment of the
same restaurant, heard the outcrics
Of the lady who was in company
with Acklen, and knocking at the
door, which he found fastened, and
being refused admittance he broke

whom he found flushed with wine,
and knocked him nearly senseless

ment against tho Louisiana Con-
gressman. A New Orleans dis
patch of the Gath says that he has
made the following statement
"The story that General Rosser
assaulted me in Welcker's restaur,
ant because of an offered indignity
to lady is UNANIMOUSLY false, and T
cannot bolievo the story ever ema~
mated from him. I left Washington

The SANDER was published in the
Washington Evening Star on Fri
day, the 2lst instant, and did not
come to my knowledge until the
night of the 23d. Being unaware of
General Rosser's whereabouts,
promptly telegraphed to various
points to secure his refutation of
this assault, AS yet I have failed
to reach him, but an explicit denial
has been made by competent par
ties in Washington. No effort will
be spared to make this matter right,
and, if necessary, I shall return at
once to Washington for that pur-
pose
General Rosser's denial that he
had given any report of the circum-
stance alluded to to any newspaper,
has appeared in the associated press
dispatches. .
