roomy brick vault, with an arched
roof and very substantial. Through the
iron gate two sarcophagi are seen. On
a marble tablet in the arch is an inscrip-
ton :--"Within this enclosure rest the
remains of General George Washing
ton" The cofIins, which lie in the
open vestlbuIe of the vault proper, are
or Pennsylvania marble; that OF Wash
ington bears an American shield, the
other but two words, "Martha Wash
ington." A few feet behind them is the
vault door, bearing the inscription, 81

believeth IN me, though he were dead,
yet shall ne live.
THE TWO ADAMs-FATHER AND SON.
John Adams and John Quincy Adams
sleep side by side beneath the Unita-
rian church at Quincy, Mass. The
tomb Is an apartment in the front part
Of the cellar under the church, walled
in with large blocks OF roughly faced
granite slab, seven feet by three, with
a huge clasp and paddock, and massive
hinges of wrought iron, all red with
rust, forms the door. Within, the bod
les lie in leaden caskets, placed within
cases each hewn from single block OF
stone. The brick furnace for h, ating
the church is close to the door, and the
dim and dusty vault, which is rarely
visited, serves as q store room for light
wagons 1Tlkfighs and other property.
On the right oil the pulpit, as you face
il, is the memorial tablet OF the elder
Adams and of his wife, of slightly
clouded marble seven feet by four, sur
mounted by a life-size bust The in
scription on the tablet is too long for re-
production here. On the other side of
the pulpit is the tablet of John Quincy
Adams and his wife. .F.

To the President and Board of Directors Ne7
Orleans Cotton Exchango:
Gentteme1e-Your Committee on Trade beg
TO state that but little business has come be-
fore them within the past year.
Under instructions from your board, they
took under consideration, in january last
petition from members relating to the manner
OF conducting business by tho steamboats,
carrying cotton to this port, and the advisa-
other than private individuals between New
Orleans and the mouth of the NJ MissssipDi river.
In relation to the former the ACCOMMODATING
circular addressed to steamboat captains was
Issued but we regret to state that only few
replies were received.
It will be observed that no positive assor-
tions were made in the circular, the desire be-
ing to bring about a conference, by means of
which some we'll defined plan OF action could
be agreed upon between our common carriers
and merchants that would rebound to the
credit and advancement of our city and trade.
We trust that this matter will be pursued
until something definite is settled upon. The
interests OF our merchants, stea1nboatmen
and railroads are Identical, and we know of
nothing that would be more beneficial than q
ment among them.
: The committee decided, and so advised your
board, that the business OF our port would be
best subserved by having the control of tee-
graph communication between New Orleans
and the mouth of the river in the hands Of a
organized corporation They also re-
commended that correspondence be had with
the Western Union Telegraph Company, at
New York, asking them to take action in the
matter If, after investigation, they found 1t to
be to their interest.
It appears that this Investigation was had,
but nothing definite resulted therefrom.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN T. HARD1E, Chairman.

The statement of Prussas finances, laid
before the Prussian Parliament yesterday, is
not very gratifying. The estimates for 1878
appears now a deficit of 7O,00o,OOO marks
about $4,000, ,OOO}, with decreasing revenues.
All the French war indemnity has been dis
tributed, and there is nothing to do except to
increase taxation. The imperial government
the imperial constitution Of 1871, the various
States have to tax themselves further to make
up this deficit, according to their population.
Prussia, whose population is about $4,000 900
out of the 100000 population of the empire
will have to pay the largest portion Of the i'm
perial deficit. The underlying cause OF all
this embarrassment is the necessity Of keep
ing up an enormous standing army.

NEW ORLEANS, November is, 1873
To the President and Board of Directors Now
Orleans Cotton Exchange:
tte1tlemcn-You Committee on Freights
beg to submit tho following report for the
year about expiring: A close and watchful
SUPERVISION Of the quotations for ocean
freights on cotton has been maintained, and
daily, or oftener when necessary, all changes
have been noted and posted upon the Ex-
change boards for tho information of mem
bers.
SO far as the extent of our shipping trade is
concerned, the season of 1878 Is the most re-
markable on record. Deep water at the mouth
OF the river admitted q numerous class Of
large vessels that never before visited our
harbor, and at the height Of tho season q larger
amount OF tonnage was mOOred at our landing
than was over the case at one time previously
in the history Of this port.
AS q consequence, cotton freghts have ruled
more evenly and on lower scale, enabling q
more successful competition with other ports
IL would be difficult, if not impossible, to
give exact figures, but we can confidently
place tho increase of our last seasons busi-
ness, through the causes just named, ut fully
10000 bales In cotton alone. The obstacle Of
high port charges is still q matter of just
complaint, but this has been partially offset
by O. decrease in cost OF cotton compressing
and stevedoring, and, on the whole, our city
now presents the most expeditions and prob
ably the cheapest facilities for the handling of
cotton OF auv port in tho United States
