Cincinnati Leaf Tobacco Market

CINCINNATI May T..
The market for leaf tobacco during the past
week has, notwithstanding the unusually large Of
feringS at auction, kept remarkably steady The
demand from buyers has been sufficiently general
to take all grades of both new and old al quota
tions which are high enough now to be generally
acceptable to shippers. Receipts are now daily
growing larger, and it is fair to presume that for
thaA Xt three or four months II very large busi-
nes5will be done, but ut the end OF that time,
owing to an unusually early movement the crop
of 1877 will be pretty well marketed
The total offerings at auction for the week were

The Less of the Leslie Taylor,

for some clothing, but finding it i'm
possible to disengage my dress from
the hook, seized blanket from the bed
and followed the crowd. By this time
they all got forward, and the water in
the cabin was ankle deep. Having
hardly an acquaintance on board there
was no one whom could call for as
sistance, SO followed Mr.. and Miss
Newell who we're ahead of me to the
guards. He called to his daughter to
follow him, and jumped off on float

managed by holding the bale to keep
up until they we're taken off by boat.

WHICH was H0aGlnS on level With the
hurricane deck, and got to the farthest
end which extended to the river.
We were not on the side next the
shore. Could the staging have been
cut away from the sinking boat we
would have foated free of it, but we
knew if aid did not reach us before the
boat went down we would go with it.
The night was pitch dark, and we
could not see anything around US.
Three large fires had been kindIed on
the shore, but one being directly in
front, dazzled us but left everything
around in darkness. l had felt utterly
abandoned and left to terrible fate,
but from the moment reached the
stage plank, the second engineer, Mr..
John Gillen, who was on it with US,
lent me every assistance in his power.
Through his aid alone I was enabled
to keep my footing on the plank. He
could easily have escaped himself, but
he would not abandon helpless wo.
man who had no other claim upon him
than that of humanity. Had known
then what learned afterwards, that
he was from the Parish of Rapides, 1
would have felt perfectly secure that
he would save me or perish in the at
tempt. Who ever knew a Rapides
steamboatman, or in fact any Rapidian
to desert the helpless in peril7 sa-
lutte the noble old Parish, my beloved
home for 80 many years. 1t has so
long a record of brave men, and of no.
BILE unselfish deeds, that John Gillen's
name will only be mentioned in her
roll of honor as a son worthy of old
Rapides.
The boat was careening iearfully on
the side on which we stood, and her
chimneys seemed coming down. How
long we were there l cannot say for
the minutes were ages. Suddenly
some one called out that skiff was
coming from the river side. learned
afterwards it was the boat of MFR. Reid,
who lived across the river about one
mile down. We we're helped into it
and got safely ashore, too grateful to
God for our safety to think of any thing
else. Captain Kennison told me on
the Bertha afterwards that he called to
me from shore that the life boat was
coming to my aid. l heard my name
but thought it was Mr.. Lindsay retur-
ming for me. / do not doubt that the
Captain did all in his power to aid us,
but at that time my vision was Cir
cumscribed. / neither heard nor saw
anything but the black waters which
were rising so rapidly to swallow rs.
One picture is indelibly imprinted up.
on my memory. The fires in the
woods, with numerous people clustered
around it in safety, and we party
think of only four or FIVE, drowning so
near them and within sound of their
voices. PASSENGER.

How Two Lawyers Sw0re OG

81 swore off once-let me see-yes,
it was twenty-six years-yes, twenty
six years ago, last first day of January,

cial ernine, and, leaning his arm upon

you see," pursued the judge, fore
ing back the lump in his throat, "you
ace Church Blackburn aud l were
great friends. He had a law-office
adjoining mine, and we were together
great deal. Well, Church used to
drink considerable, and as l used to
take an occasional drop myself, says
to him one 6rst ofJanuary, "Church,"
says 1, ''let's swear Off" "Agreed,"
says he, awe got sick of wearing this
veIy red noso of mine around town, so
let's quit this miserable drinking and
lead the virtuous lives Of total absti-
hence men," Well, we swore off, and
agreed that whichever one of US first
broke the pledge should buy the other
suit of clothes. For six months
kept the pledge like Spartan hero
l never quailed before the blandish-
ments of the white-robed bartender,
and Blackburn seemed to be doing
well, too. We were together just as
much as ever, and never caught him
taking drink of liquor in all that six
months time. Twice day we used
to 60 down to the Planters House Sa-
loon and get couple of big lemonades
to cool our pached threats, and show
the bows how true to our resolutions
we were. Now, all this time Black
burns nose was just az red as ever,
and l couldn't understand why this
change of life should give it more of a
tone of repose. Well, one hot July
afternoon we dropped in at the Plan
ters' and ordered our big lemonades as
usual. The bartender fixed 'em up as
usual, but when I tasted of mine l
spit it out quick like, and a shudder
ran all over my body. "Look here"
said to the barkeeper, "you've put
gin in this lemonade" Well, you
never saw man as scared as that
barkeeper was. He looked at me, and
then at Blackburn, and then leaned
up against the bar, pale as a ghost aud
speechless as mummy. And Black
burn turned red and white, and all
sorts of colors at once, and tried to
stammer out something, and failed
ANONYMOUSLY. "What does this
mean 7" said I. 81 gave you the
wrong tnmbler," family moaned the
semi-comatose bar-keeper. T 9 n
Blackburn came out like a man, made
a clean breast of it, and l couldn't
help laughing to see how outrageously
l had been duped. Why, for five long
months, twice day, Blackburn had
been drinking gin and lemon to my
lemonade. He had made an arrange
ment with the barkeeper, and had
guzzled away, time and time again.
until at last, by some awkwardness,
the barkeeper had given me Black
burns gin instead of my lemonade"
"Weii, you got the suit of clothes n
ayes, and Blackburn paid for 'em
like little man!

IT is getting epidemical here for
a large class of people to labor under
the idea that the chief end of jour
nalism is to praise something or
somebody. Such thing as expos
ing wrong doer, holding him to
public scorn and demanding justice,
are fast being regarded as really IL
bellous matters, that it is crime to
punish and a sin to comment upon.
