825, 100000 Invested in the New York
Oyster Trade.

Speaking of hard cash, says q New York
letter, 1t is estimated that the total capital
invested in tho oyster trade in New York is
about sos 100000. After four months
rest the dealers are up to their elbows in
business again and full of hope for the
eight months to come. They count on n
large trade. with good profit, and are as
happy as clans at high water (thc oyster
men should understand that familiar figure
of speech as well as any one). Tho four
months rest, though, was not complete
between the LIST of May and the LIST of Sep
tcmber is not altogether correct. AS q rule,
the hotels and first-class restaurants stop
serving them on the last day of April, but
large numbers are sold right through the
summer for all that. One of the largest
dealers reports an active trade all through
the four months without "r's." It is now
admitted that the prospect for full crop
never was better, and the quality promises
to be unusually good. There are bears in
the oyster market as we'll as in Wall street,
and it won't do to believe all they say.
Tho daily consumption Of oysters in New
York, taking the year round, is estimated
at 100000. The wholesale price runs
from So to $40 a thousand, and the retailers
get from $15 to $25 thousand for the same
bivalves. The trade is therefore profit
able one, If 1t DO large enough. It is ex-
pectcd that the shipment of oysters to Er-
ropo will DO larger this season than in any
previous one. Tho freight averages about
one dollar barrel after cold weather sets
in, and refrigerators are no longer needed
An experienced dealer says that oysters
may be kept in good condition for four
months after being taken from tho water,
and adds that they keep fat and fresh by
feeding on their own liquids. What
blessing it would be If some bipeds could
board themselves ON the oyster plan.

% Equal to $40

A correspondent, L. Baker, gives the
following ingenious plan by which IS can
be multiplied eight times:
l am owing John Smith $40; John
Smith owes John Brown $40; John
Brown owes John Rogers $40 ; and John
Rogers owes me $40, now propose to pay
the $40 with s. and have the IS.
Now I take S., in gold or bills, go to John
Smith and say want to pay IS of the $40
owe you he takes the IS. John Smith
then goes to John Brown and says Mr..
Brown owe you $40, can pay you IS.
He takes it, the same s. he then goes to
John Rogers and says here is Is of the $40
owe you, and he takes it. Rogers comes to
me and says, Mr.. Baker, owe you $40,
will you tako So OF it. ! say yes and he
paysi it. say that is the same bill I paid
John Smith. I then take the same bill and
go to John Smith and pay him the balance
IS owe him and that SIC is paid. John
Smith then goes to John Brown and pays
him the balance due him S. and that debt is
paid. John Brown takes the same S. and
goes to John Rogers and pays him the IS
he owes him. John Rogers comes to me
and says Mr.. Baker l come now to pay you
up and hands me tho money. / take the
IS and say to him, sir, that is the same bill
you paid lie before, it is all right, though.
Now $40 have been paid with the IS bill.
Now where is the $40 volume?

issue he proceeded. "The lingering rays Of

parture ere the gentle moon casts her
silvery sheen over the parched earth, re-
placing with her colder rays the dazzling
splendOr of the God of Day" They have

she observed Still preserving his presence
Of mind he continued: 'Whilc from the
dim horizon emerges from time to time the
lesser glory of twinkling star, whose
tender glimmer, like a soft small voice APP
pealing to tho inmost thoughts, says
"There's the ice-cream wagon right in

despair and yielded up his last so cents

of ice-cream carts and indulge in flights Of

A dispatch from Long Branch, dated last
night, says:
Although the autopsy was begun few
minutes after four o'clock it was not until
o quarter past eleven o'clock tonight that
tho result was made known by means of a
bulletin signed by all the attending
surgeons, DIR. Lamb, of the Army Medical
Museum, who did the cutting, and DR..
Smith, of Elberon, who was called in in
order to comply with the requirements of
tho laws of this State. The bulletin was
read to the correspondents and to those who
have been watching the case from the first
and reporting each days history. 1t was
the cause of much surprise and great deal
Of comment. The treatment of the case,
viewed In the light of the dis
closures made by the autopsy, will, it is
believed, be severely arraigned by the
medical profession. The autopsy shows
conclusively that the ball was
not where the surgeons said it was, and
that what has been regarded and published
day by day for weeks us the track of the
wound was something else. The surgeons
have been treating an opening into the body
fined pus burrowing its way, rs the track of
the wound, when the latter went in an en-
tirely different direction. The surgeons adj
nit in the bulletin that an abscess six by
four inches had formed in the vicinity of
the gall bladder, between inc iVer ana inc
transverse colon. Inc bulletin says, also,
that the bullet had passed through and frac-
turcd the spinal column, a fact heretofore
strenuously denied by the surgeons
The bulletin fails to go. very much
into details, and after It was read
DIR. Bliss said that there was small pus
cavity on one OF the kidneys not mentioned
in the bulletin. The surgeons say that inc
immediate cause Of death was secondary

the cause Of the severe pain In the lower
part Of tho chest complained Of Just before
death. An absccss cavity, six inches by
fodr in Dimensions, was found In the
vicinity of tho gall bladder, between the
lower and the transverse colon, which were
strongly adhercnt. II did not involve the
substance of the liver, and no communica-
ton was found between it and tho wound.
A long suppurating channel extended from
the external wound, between the lower
muscles and the right kidney, almost to the
right gioin. This channel, now known to
be due to the burrowing of pus
from the wound was supposed,
during life, to have been the track
of the ball. On an examination of
the organs of the chest evidence of severe
bronchitis were found onsboth sides, with
bronchial pneumonia Of the lower portions
of the right lung, and, though to much
less extent on the left, the lungs contain no
assesses and the heart no clots. The liver
was enlarged and fatty but free from alb
organ, except the left kidney, which con-
tanned near its surface q small absccss about
one-third of an inch In diameter. In re-
viewing the history of the case in connec-
tion with the autopsy, it is quite evident
that the different suppurating surfaces, and
especially the fractured spongy tissue of the
vcrtebre, furnish n sufficient explanation
of the septic condition which existed.
