TIE Cabinet ladies have resolved not to
return calls, but just send around their
cards. The reception business and return
ing calls is too expensive. Mrs. Grundy
writes that 'the wife of a member of Gen
eral Grants Cabinet said that $40 worth Of
visiting cards lasted her but little more than
four weeks. The receptions on Wednesday
afternoons, when refreshments are provided,
usually cost $50 or SO for the simple COLA
ton set and the extra servants in attendance.
Even the simplest style of evening enter
tainment for the large number member of
the cabinet must invite can not cost less
than $500. A gentleman who gave four dur
ing the past season i'll order to ask, if posi-
bic, all on his wife's visiting list, which
numbers 100 persons, says they cost him
over 81, 100. That's good slice out of a sal
AIRY of say IS, 900 per annum just for evening
parties. in addition to necessary household
expenses" If Mrs. Grundy is correct, a
movement may be made to increase the sal
aries of Cabinet officers so as to cover the
expense of receptions and visiting cards.

JOAQUIS MILLER tells of two men, neigh
bOrs, old Californians, both rich and re-
spected. In 1852, when dying and desti-
tute emigrants literally crawled on hands
and knees over the Sierras, trying to reach
the settlements one of these men exhausted
his means to relieve their distress, and the
other increased his riches by charging fabu-
Gus prices for every thing he sold the starv-
ing emigfants. The generous man died a
b ggar in Idaho, andan uninscribed bOwlder
marks his grave. Speaking of the other
man, Miller says: THE children of the
Prince are in Paris. Upheld by his cOlos-
sal wealth their lives seem to embrace the
universal world. He is my friend. He
buys all my books, and reads every line
write. When he comes to this sketch he
will understand it. And he ought to under
stand, too, that all the respect, admiration
and love which the new land once gave
these two men gathers around and is
buried beneath that moss-grown granite
stove, and that 1 know, even with all his
show of splendor, that his heart is as cold
ana as empty as that dead mans hand"
It is thus that wealth and meanness are
sometimes so intimately associated as to
make their unfortunate posseSsor doubly
repulsive. Miller should name the man he
STYLES the prince"

Outside of New York - 21S l41 766

Apart from the dealings in stock. exchanges at
New York were unusually small last week, and
probably amounted 10 little more than $50 co.,
700. differing not much from the net exchanges
of the corresponding week last year. The condi
ton of trade, however, appears TO have been more
favorable for the moment at several other cities
than here. In the aggregate, the business of the
about year ago. all remember, that the ire
mendous burst of speculation in merchandise
eliminated with imports amounting to more than
$40 OO0. 900 at New York alone nearly $40. 900 900
at Boston. and over S. 900 900 at Philadelphia In
all departments of trade the movement was IN
naturally rapid and prices were artifcially high.
In spite of the decline in prices and the compare
tive absence of speculative excitement at this
time exchanges exceed the corresponding week
of last week both largely In the aggregate and at
almost every city in the country. Certainly the
inference is not discouraging TO one, although
there has been some decrease in activity Of late.

for the Past Week.

for the Past Week.
NEw YORK. March 3o.-From the Public:
There is an unusual feature in Clearing House
returns this week. Theirs Is but one important
city that reports smaller exchanges than those of
the corresponding week last year. and that city,
strange to to say. is Chicago. Although the in
crease at some points is remarkably high. and the
aggregate increase outside Of New York. and at
this city. Is greater than II was last week never
theless the transactions are smaller. The reason
Is last year the pause in operations which usually
precedes April settlements was generally more
marked and important than II has been this year.
but the movement at Chicago last year was ex-
ceptionably sustained, while the usual decrease
in the amount of exchanges as the month draws
near its end fully appears this season.
The large transactions at New Orleans are prob
ably due in part to the extraordinary grain
movement. TO which reference is elsewhere made
The increase at Louisville is remarkably large
not only for a single week. but ever since the
new year began. and no explanation of il il per-
ceiyfble, except the extraordinary increase in
the general business Of that city. The following
table shows the amount of exchanges for the week
ending March 10 at San Francisco. and March 20

on the Cars life, and the time and place
Their fellow-conspirators iu London and
elsewhere knew, in general way,
that another attempt would be made
Roussakof was only Informed OF what was re-
quired of him on the day OF the murder. Jelahof,
chief director in the matter having been arrested
two days before, Pieroffsky became the guiding
spirit, and sent ROuSsakof and the other MUIR
derer with bombs to the stations designed them
Roussakof protests he was not in any way ad
m1tted To the councils OF the conspirators, but
was merely fellow worker. He asserts that the
Nihilists have had no money: that there was con-
siderable disagreement among them and
that they would probably have dis
persed had their last attempt failed.
Roussakof seems to be Nihilist pure and sim
pie, having no project desire beyond the de-
struction of the present order of things.
PierOfsky and Jealahoff avow the object OF
their operation to terrorize the country, dis.
arrange the machinery of Government, and
bring about. ID possible, a Socialistic Republic
after the pattern of the Paris Commune.

woman Holman, seem of less importance. Both

Protection of Plants.

If little Chords of lime be sprinkled on
the soil, rats, mice and insects will soon de-
sert it. Plants may be easily protected by
it from. insect plaques by simply brushing
over their stems with a solution of it. 1t
has often been noticed that a patch which
has been treated in this way remains free
from grubs, while the unprotected beds
round about are literally devastated. Fruit
trees may be guarded from their attack by
attaching to the stems pieces of tow smeared
with al mixture of chloride of lime and hogs
lard. Ants and grubs already in possession
will then rapidly vacate their positions.
