American story by a French paper:
an. Alfred. Perkins senator American
comes to arrive at Paris. This yankee
is celebrated on account off duel in
which he fought himself, there is
somes years, with a chief Indian, OF
whom he had wounded the feelings.
The arms selected we're unusual, being
two barrels ofdynamite, on which the
adyersaries were asseateds, and to
which two slow matches Of equal length
were tied. The fire was supplied to
them by the seconds, who then retired
themselves to a respectful distance
and couched themselves on the earth
to witness more conveniently and
safely the race between the burning
hemps. Ten minutes afterwards the
Indian senator was blown into the
air, and NJ. Perkins was Immediately
delivered from his position perilous,
the spark rapidly approaching his bar
rel being extinguished by the seconds,
who declared the claims of honor fully
satisfied"

MEMPHIS, TENN.i MArch IL, 1881.
The money market here is without
visible animation beyond a feeling of
ease, owing to the redundant supplyo OF
capital which renders all solvent secu-
rites Of a productive nature firm and
in demand. But little mercantile pa
per offers, the reason assigned being
that factors are shy about opening new
accounts with planters at this early
stage in the season, and are also using
their best efforts to partially close up
old ones. l. is too soon to make cash
or supply advances on the next crop,
the one now coming to market, though
though the heaviest on record, prov
ing financially Improbable with the
majorityo of growers. Discount rates
are quoted easy at 6 to 8 per cent.
Exchange has not varied for several
days. Rates quoted are Sl25 to $3.50
per thousand discount for eastern cot
ton bills, and $3.50 per thousand on
New Orleans. The banks sell drafts
ON New York and western cities at
80 50 per thousand premium, and on
New Orleans at par.
The mouey markets east are unset
tied, though not enough so to create
u~neasiness. Bar silver is quoted in
New York at ll3l per OF. The last
London quotation was 81 9-l6d per OF.
In New Orleans bullion is quoted at
49, per o., and Mexican dollars at
85lc each. Government bonds are
steady at 1l2hfornew As, and III forthe
As. Tennessee Is closed last night in
New York at 6Oc for both old and
new, a lively advance in a brief period.
The prospect of an. early settlement OF
the present state debt Of Tennessee az
3 per cent interest with bonds at their
face value to run 80 years, has stimu-
lated this class of securities within the
past few days.
