An hours climbing brought us to
a solitary hut, inhabited by men only.
They were barefooted. ragged and
fearfully dirty, and their miserable
shanty was fully in keeping with their
personal appearance. Evidently no
woman's hand, however s~lovenly. had
applied itself to the arrangement or
keeping Of that domicile. But what
could these bearded, unkempt hermits
be doing in this solitary place?
During a few minutes conversation
with them the mystery was solved.
One of the men loosened a lever from
which a heavy stone was suspended,
removed some coarse cloths, and eK-
posed to view a large white cheese.
"Das is Schweitzer kase," said he, in
the broad Tyrolese accent "Viellicht
haben sic solchen i'm Bachmaier ge-
gessen?' "Garkein, replied l, with
suppressed nausea. And this was a
Swiss cheese mandatory What a

" He was a silent partner in a firm in
that city-very silent. He was not so
confident as some Of the older Ones
about mess pork advancing in 0cto-
Der so he concluded he would make
a silent contract on his own account.
Accordingly, he ordered a broker to
sell $50 barrels for delivery during
that month. 1t cost him about $500
to settle the contract, and the joke of
it is, the pork was delivered to his

The notable increase in the volume
Of trade is having marked effect in
financial circles though the usual
routine is undisturbod by the furry
in other lines Of business. Currency
is in fair supply, and at present fully
equal to the demand, though its
scarcity elsewhere in the West and
South will doubtless shortly have its
influence here. 1t is noted that at St.
Louis where many of our merchants
were temporarily s%ojourning, much
difficulty was experienced by the
banks in keeping a currency supply
adequate TO the demands of trade. 1t
was stated that gold could be had for
the asking, but the expense Of ship
ment from the East was too heavy to
make it desirable; hence but little has
so far gone into general circulation.
As soon as our cotton men get well to
work land they are all here ready for
duty, we may expect a large flow Of
currency into this market. AT pres
emit the demand for money is fair, and
discounts are in light request, the
rates being Cos per cent. on short
dated paper.
Exchange rates arc steady at ! dis
count for bills on New York, and
discount for grace-carrying bills on
points beyond. Checks on New York
sell at par. New Orleans rates are
par selling and | discount buying.

Mark made a wretshed failure while
attempting TO edit the Buffalo Ex-
press, some ten years ago, and he gave
up running a funny department in the
Galaxy magazine, because once a
month was too often for him to put a
funny article together. Twain might
superintend the numerous department
Of an almanac, perhaps, but he is
altogether too slow for any newspa-
per. And yet he has done some very
clever things, too; for instance taking
fifty or sixty thousand dollars from
John I. Raymond for allowing him to
play Colonel Sellers in a drama
which he, Twain, never wrote.

Genernl Trade.

Trade has opened out nicely and
there is a real rush all along Front
street. A merchant just returned
from Western cities pointed with pride
to the thronged state of Front street
this morning, and said you see no
such activity and business outlook on
any street either in st. Louis, Cincin-
natl or Louisville as is now before
your eye, SIR and the dealer went on
marking barrels, packages and so
forth, in his haste to put up an order
and get it off before the railway train
moved. Another dealer said; "Why,
sir, give any st. Louis house the or
ders we have to fill in one day, and it
would take them two days to get them
under way to their customers " and a
cotton buyer said Il had serious
difficulty in filling my orders for spin
nels, sir. The short staple Of the
Texas hill and Arkansas upland COT,
ton don't suit my customers. They
want the heavy body long lint Of the
river valleys, and but little Of this
kind is to be found in the St. Louis
market. So, sir, | am glad to be home
agaio. | can fill orders with greater
satisfaction to myself and my custom
ers. There is no market equal to
Memphis to buy the kind Of cotton
my patrons require" And so it goes

A great institution at Copenhagen
Is Tho State Lottery, drawn in two Sc
RES Of six neptbs each, ana very rco" ,
ular with all classes. Tbs drawing of
this lottery and payment of prizes arc
conducted with admirable method and
fairness. Nothing better exhibits the
calm and unexcitable nature of the
Danes than the systematic way in
which one will take his tickets for
thirty years without drawing a prize,
and never fret or even mention the
matter; while another wins the grand
prize, ruins himself, and commences
airesh in the same quiet and matter
of-iact manner.
