A Genuine Yankee Trick

For cool impudence, fertility of concep.
tiOn, and ability to execute plans Of over
reaching, the real Yankee Is rarely excel
ed IL equaled as tho method used by one
of the brotherhood here detailed to victim.
ize BoDiface, in ono of our nutmeg states,
is given as an illustration.
As the story runs, the Yankee in ques-
ton, alive to business, engaged boarding
at the rate of IS per week, with a stipula.
tion that for every meal not had, a deduc-
ton would bc allowed of Is cents. He
was punctual in attendance at the morn
ing and evening meals. and lodged regu-
larly; but was invariably absent at the
dinner or noon meal.
At the end of two weeks, with four con-
fdential comparisons, he appeared at the
clerks desk and expressed desire TO bal
ance accounts. That functionary politely
informed him there were no accounts to
balance between them at tho same time
handing for payment his board bill for two
weeks at S. each, amounting to $40. 'YOu
have multiplied CORRECTLY" Icioiued the
fellow; '.yOur ciphering is all right, you are
genius but must now favor you with
a little of nay arithmetic, which in this in-
stance must necessarily embrace both mul
tipiication and subtraction. IA meals not
taken at Is cents each, a10.5O deducting
the lesser from the greater sum, that is
your account from mine, and it is as self
evident as any mathematical proposition
ever demonstrated by the great Euclid,
that there is balance justly due and
owing this individual by this establish
ment of the round sum of fifty cents.
But do not want the money, AMI we will
take the balance out in trade. Be kind
enough, therefore, to lot these gentlemen
have a whisky each, while you hand your
humble servant cigar somewhat above
the ordinary brand" The eyes of the
landlord were opened, but he thought it
best to show no sign of chagrin by de-
murring to the request; hence it was duly
imbibcd and smoked. " Now" resumed
our hero, elated with the sue
cess of his operation knocking
the ashes from his cigar, while the others
camplacently wiped their lips), 1--WE will
continue this pretty little arrangement,
which, trust, has been as pleasing to our
worthy host as satisfactory to myself
and fortnight hence, with the leave OF
divine Providence, We five good and honest
yeomen will again appear before you and
settle things Oil the basis adopted Oh the
present happy occasion, for / do most
heartily dctest long standing accounts,
Oftentimes the cause of errors in book
keeping
'Our worthy host" could preserve his
equanimity no longer, and he retorted,
~ am ID if you will do anything OF
the kind, that game is not with me il
you wish to continue it, you will have to
play it elsewhere. So. with the leave OF
divine Providence, my decree is, take III
your bed and walk And he left without
the landlords blessing.

LONDON, August 22.-The Mark Lane h.
press, in its weekly review of the grain
trade, says: "The past weeks weather dam
aged and jeopardized the harvest.
Milldew is rapidly developing in the
standing grain, and the cold nights
and hot moist days are causing
that in the sheaves to sprout.
The quality of the wheat of which the very
best results were expected is found to be
affected by premature ripeness, and the
quality and yield are disappointing In both
Great Britain and on the continent. There
has been an advance in the price of wheat
not solely on account Of the disappointing
harvest. Stocks have been let down low In
anticipation OF early deliveries. These cal

bulk of the crop must 90

in the ricks before It comes to any extent
on the market. The advance is in sympa-
thy with foreign values. Wheats opened
at an advance of two shillings to three shil-
lings, closing at three shillings to four shil-
lings dearer. The new crop is difficult to
quote, on account of the varied quality and
scarcity. Foreign trade has been more active.
Mlilers have been piling up stock
at an advance at three to four
shfllings per quarter. Flour has been
scarce on spot. On Monday prices i'm
proved three shillings, and on Friday values
were still firmer. The foreign supply con-
tinues light, and shows a similar advance.
Barley was shilling dearer, In sympathy
with other feeding stuffs. Foreign has been
irregular and in favor of sellers. Oats
have improved shilling on account of bad
prospects OF the new crop. Maize has ad-
vanced two shillin0s since Monday, and

The Business Boom in New Orleans

New Orleans has never known q
healthier summer or a more prosperous
one. There has been no whisper of yel-
low fever, and it is not possible to shut
our eyes to the evidences of prosperity
and the signs of business which are pre-
sented on every side.
In many departments of trade there
has been no cessation whatever even
during the heated tern in June and July,
and many of our merchants declare they
have had all the business they could at
tend to- Even in the stock, bond and
cotton markets there has been unusual
activity, and numerous brokers
and merchants, who were accustomed
heretofore to take their departure in
June and return in September or Octo-
Der, have not been able to get away at
all, even for few days recreation. New
stores and edlfices of every description
are going up all over the city, while the
builders and painters assert there never
before was so much repairing and paint.
ing going on. One can feel in the very
air that a change has come over the
spirit of our people and that new inn
pulse has been given to the trade of New
Orleans, which languished so long under
the baleful influence of the reconstruc-
ton era.
The opening up of new and important
railway lines, the rapid development of
the grain trade, the building of manu-
factories of various kinds, the fact that
millions of Northern and European capi-
tai has found investment IN the ''New
South, and that millions more are seek
ing investment, and not least the fact
that sectional bitterness is a thing of the
past, makes the present bright and the
future radiant with promise,
