Inter-Hospltality.
"rne g Fifty-fourth Virginia is atshs FERRY. :.
youths Companion

Youths Companion.I
The cry of son TO Richmondl" awakened no
enthusiasm in the hearts of the third Ohio one
day when they found themselves ,en route as
prisoners of war for that famous capital. Nor
were they enthusiastic when they halted for
the night and prepared to sink supperless into
dreamland.
The fifty-fourth Virginia regiment was en-
camped near by, and some of the men came
down to have look at the ''Yanks."
"Had your coffee7" asked one of a blue coat
stretched disconsolately on the bank.
s'Not sup" answered the other.
'sAin't you had any rations to-night?"
"Only a cIumb or two from the bottoms OF
our haversacks"
This was told to the boys of the 54th, and old
Virginia hospitality showed itself at once. The
men soon made their appearance with coffee
kettles, corn bread and bacon, the best they
had. In a few minutes the coffee was steam
ing, the bacon cooked, the prisoners and cap
tors sat down together around the camp tre,
like kinsmen true and brothers tried" The
hungry grateful Yankees ate with a relish
such as no one can appreciate unless ne mas
been in like situation.
No wonder there was a warm spot in every
heart of the Sd Ohio ever afterwards for the
generous 54th.
A fresh slide in the magic lantern gives an
other of these shifting war pictures. In the
distance is Mission Ridge, which has Just been
stormed. That long line of prisoners passing
over the pontoon bridge and up the stony
mountain road is the 54th Virginia. A soldier
| on duty at Kelly's Ferry asked indifferently OF
one of the prisoners as the regiment passed;
"What regiment is this?"
"The 54th Virginia" was the reply.
In an instant the loungers sprang to their
feet and rushed to camp. ''The 54th Virgins
| is at the ferry," they shouted, as they ran in
and out among the tents of the Sd Ohio.
The Ohio boys were quick in motion. Boxes
| from home and all reserve stores were speedily
ransacked. Coffee and sugar, beef and canned
peaches and the best they had of everything
we're freely brought forth. They remembered
| gratefully their debt of honor, and paid it no
| bly,. 1t was the same old scene over, with the
| shading reversed For one night at least both
| Confederates and Yanks enjoyed again the
! sweet grace of hospitality that could bring a
smile even to the grim visage of war.

The Paris Panic.

The financial panic on the Paris Bourse is
directly due to rash investments and over
speculation. Last year over four hundred
joint-stock companies were formed IN
France, with a nominal capital of $50O,Oo0,-
600. The country has made much money
during the last few years, has grown rich at
rate unparalleled by the rest of Europe, and
has been at loss how to profitably invest its
great savings. The opportunity was open
to spectators, and they availed themselves
of it, All sorts of enterprises were project
ed and the money for their establishment
was forthcoming Companies were organ
lied to achieve all manner of things. Some
of the undertakings were sound and have
proved good investments; but the most have
been hazardous. and many are failures.
Lrage capital has been sunk in wild schemes
that will never prove remunerative, and
much locked up for years in enterprises
that will yield no return for long time to
come. The money put into them is drawn
from all classes of society, but chiefly, OF
course, from the industrious and frugal,
and the result is widespread distress.
The tendency to over speculation was
seen by shrewd fnanciers, by astute publi-
cists, and even by the government, some
time ago, and the voice of warning was
raised But Cassandra was not listened to.
The speculative fever had its run. The
doctors of finance could not break it up.
The greatest of the companies, the "Union
Generale,'' was the first to break. Others
followed. In two days speculative stocks
fe IL fifty per cent, and even sound securi-
ties were affected. These last have rallied,
but the others must continue to fall into the
bottomless pit of bankruptcy.
How the Paris panic will affect the other
European markets remains to be seen. The
general opinion is that they will suffer little
Some English capital is said to be invested
in French speculations, but the sum is prob
ably small. 1t does not seem that any harm
will come to us. Indeed the demand for
safe American securities will probably be
quickened, though the amount of surplus
capital to be invested is necessarily
lessened.

THE Chicago historical society has set on
foot plan for celebrating, on the 9th OF
April next, the 2O0th anniversary OF the dis
covery of the mouth of the Mississippi by
Robert Cavalier de La Sale, and the COM
memoration is likely to be held in New Or
leans by the united action Of all the histori-
cal societies of the Mississippi and Ohio val
leys. La Sale was the first white man who
ever set foot upon the soil where Chicago
now stands, and his settlement on the Peo-
ria lake in March, 1880, where he built fort
Creve-Ceur, was the first civilized occupa-
tion of what now constitutes the State OF IL
linois; and as it was from this point that he
improvised the expedition to discover the
mouth of the Mississippi, the historical So
ciety of Chicago has very properly taken the
initiative in suggesting the celebration OF
the 200th anniversary of the discovery.

THE Newbern News says three-fourths OF

ready to follow Vance in campaign against
the generally bad administration OF the

out the despised carpet-baggers and took in
home talent, they only made the unprofita-
