"Unparallrled facilities - anipu-
latlrg the money market a 'fforded
by the present relation between If and

necessary for amy clique to do who de-

bonds, and as long as they are not
presented for payment the treasury is
compelled to keep on hand the So

The treasury really does the locking

are now being kept Oft the market at
less risk and cost and with a smaller
margin of the capital than has ever be

under the old way of locking up mon

lock up the currency itself. How ex

large amount of bonds called for that

NEW YORK COTTON.

The New York Bulletin of Deem
Der says The fluctuations on the
speculative market have Of late been
due very largely to manipulation, and
the ups and downs on prices could, i'll
most cases, be traced to temporary
uou-rcslstmce on one side, atfording
the opposing interest an opportunity
to scalp a few points Opinions on
the outcome of the crop are quite as
strong as ever, but operators gener-
ally seem inclined to move cautiously
until the movement of supplies afford
"a better opportunity to Judge upon the
reliability of the estimate made. 1t Is,
however, quite evident that the bull
side Of the market was the most popu
lar one, and that once fairly started u
sharp advance could hardly have been
checked The more sanguine look for
tins Mt amy moment while others
seem tn tiliuk the bears will be able
60 make "a good battle until after the
turn into the new year The major
portion of the bear element remained
III the room among the regular opera
tors, and at the close they were more
confident than for day or two past"

The End of the world.

Mother ShiptOn announced the de
structiOn of the world for 1881, but
she forgot to affix the exact date.
An Italian writer, Leonard Aretino,
who died in the fourteenth century,
was more accurate. In the fifth vol
ume of his work, "Aquila Volante. -
he clearly prophesies that the world
will come to an end on the 18th OF
November, 1881. There is one con-
ISOLATION, however, amt that is that
the annihilatiOn, will not be mo-
mentary. but, on the contrary, Will
last fifteen days. On the first day
the ocean will Overstep her bounda-
ries; on the second day it will pene-
trate into theinterior OF the earth ION
the third day all river fish will sue
cumb; on the fourth day the deni-
zens OF the deep; on the fifth day
the birds will perish on the sixth
day our houses will collapse (mine
have already collapsed); on the sew
enth the rocks; on the eighth earth
quakes will continue the work of de-
struction; on the ninth the noun
tains will fall low; on the tenth
mankind will lose the power of
speech; on the eleventh the graves
will open; ON the twelfth it will
rain stars (but not the stars of In
dia) on the thirteenth all men will
die; on the fourteenth heaven and
earth will be consumed by fire, and
on the fifteenth we may expect the
resurrection and the lastjudgement.

TT may not be generally known
that there are gold mines in Ten
nessee successfully worked. Such
is the fact nevertheless. In what is
known as the Coco creek country,
near the borders of North Carolina,
there are good placer mines. These
are situated in Monroe county, and
are worked by Messrs Lee and
Church, who are preparing to oper-
ate the mines on a large scale.
They are represented as thorough
ly practical, having successfully
conducted mining operations in
Colorado, DakOta and California.
They assert that the East Tennessee
mines are as rich as any they found
in the far west. The only reason
why these mines have not been
profitably worked il because the
persons who have undertaken it
were possessed of small means and
no knowledge of mineralogy.
Great expectations are entertained
in regard to these mines.- Mem
