Confederate Bonds.

The Democrat, referring to the
late furry in Confederate bonds,
which it attributes to the existence
of the large deposits in the Bank
of England to the credit of the
Confederate Government, says :
1T would seem to be quite time to
have this little matter of millions
of Money settled, and as it unques-
tionably belongs to the United
States it's transfer from the vaults
of the old lady Of Treadneedle
street to the Treasury at Washing
ton, would be the proper thing
for Mr.. Blaine or his successor to
insist upon"
We dissent from any such con.
%clusion. If any such fund exists
in the Bank of England, to the
credit Of the Confederate govern
ment, the United States have no
claim to the same under treaty or
the laws of natoins. The legal and
equitable claimants thereto are
the creditors of the Confederate
government, the holders Of the
evidences of its debt at the time
Of its recognized existence as a
lawful belligereut power. By no
process or judgement and on no
principle of equity binding on
foreign powers who recognized
the Confederate government as a
belligerent power could the United
States acquire any rights in this
fund. The Bank of England, as
an equitable trustee, will be held
in chancery 10 answer for this
very shadowy and improbable
fund to those creditors.-N. o.

Last year at this seas

Last year at this season there
was a disease amongst hogs call
ed "hog cholera" the same com.
planned Of in the north every year.
This year no such disease exist
amongst the swine /; they are
perfectly healthy and there are a
great many of them everywhere:
and still those who would sell
them, asks exorbitant prices, for
poor ones. They must remember
that it will require ten dollars
worth of corn to fatten a hog now.
There have been no deaths among
the hogs this year like the last,
and there will be a surplus on

they give a very poor account Of
the corn crop, corn is selling $1.OO

may be more corn than is expec-

While an Idaho girl was sitting
under a tree waiting for her lover,
q grizzly bear came along, and ap-
preaching from behind began to
hug her. But she thought it was
Tom, and so just laid back and en-
joyed it heartily, and murmured,
tighter" and it broke the bear all
up, and he went away and hid in
the forest for three days to get
over the shame.

Some persons assure us that the
crop Of sweet potatoes will be
short this year, in our parish. 1t
is true that the crop is generally
pretty short here every year on
account Of the small quantity
raised ; but the season is favor
able enough. It will be a good
thing for those who may have them
for sale, if the report proves to be
true. +
