"TROUBLE IN DE BAND"

1t was just after the circus closed
its afternoon performance when the
trouble broke out among the band
instruments. Every body had gone
to supper SO nobody knows just how
the quarrel began, but the piccolo
was heard asking the drum what he
was rafting about.
Something hit me on the head"
said the drum, land I believe one of
the sticks had handle on il"
I'm bowed if they didn't" said
the cornet.
"oh, oh" said the harp; II saw
you toot, myself.
You're Tyre" growled the juba.
"You bass, insulting thing" said the
violin "you ought to be hooted out
of the orchestra.
"You viol wretch" said the kettle
drum "you talk in that way when
you get in more scrapes than any on
of the family"
you'll get good beating for that
tonight" said the guitar.
"Dry up, you gay lute,' said the
castanet you're too high-strung for
this party"
"If we had hold Of you," said the
cymbals, "we'd rattle your bones"
mot you" said the flute, you are
mere cymbal of emptiness. Every
time you como together it an nois,
me"
"Hoot ava, mon," said the bag
pipe; yell have your brains blown
out if you come in thisquarrel."
"Oh, don't talk through your noss,"
cried the clarionet.
"Aud don't you squawk 3d." put in
the bass.
"And you quit your growing" said
the triangle; "you take up more
room and make less music than any
three members of the family"
"Sse here, old dingle, dingle," taid
the trombone, you'll get hung by
the thumbs the first thing you know"
"Oh, you pull off this row and
crawl into yourself and hide" said
the ACCORDION. 1--WE got the dead
open.and. shut on all of you"
And then the tambourine said he
had a good mind to sail in and give
the boys little whirl himself, bat
they got the quarrel made up some
how, and to hear them in the balcony
serenade and the opening overture
that evening, children they were in
such perfect harmony, you would
never have thought there was ever
particle of discord among them.

REWARD

nNHE Act of the General Assembly of

IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Relative RIghtS and Duties of
Railroads and Express Companies.

ST. LOUIS, February pa decision was
rendered in the United States Court to-day
in the case OF the Southern Express Com
pany VS.. the Iron Mountain, and Southern
Railway. Other cases were amalgamated
with this case. and the decision affects Lot
only the Iron Mountain but also the Mem
phis and Little Rock, the Miss ouri, Kansas
and Texas, and a suit of Adams Express
Company, the Atchinson, Topeka and Santa
Fe, and the Denver and Rio Grande
Roads. Justice Miller, in his opinion,
holds that court of equity can
compel railroad companies to provide
facilities for express business. to furnish
cars for that purpose, and to afford equal
facilities TO all express companies actually
engaged in that business. Only fair and rea-
sonable rates shall be charged for carry
ing such matter and the agent in charge Of
it. Rates cannot be fiKed in advance by a
railroad company, nor can collections be
made at the end of the journey, but the
courts can regulate compensation for such
service after ir has been performed, and the
railroad company can be protected by a
bond to be given by the express companies.
The INDUCTION heretofore granted in Cham
bers is continued in force.

Reward His Counsel.

Mr.. Charles H. Reed, Mr.. Scoville's asso-
ciate In the defense of Guiteau, has given
out for publication a number of letters re-
Gently received by him from the condemned
assassin. The notes or letters are all OF the
same character, requesting Mr.. Reed to can
with Mr.. Merrick. He repeats his old state
ments that the non-jurisdiction of the court
is his strong point; and that be wants Mr.
Scoville OF the case. In one letter he saws:
81 will give you and Mr.. Merrick and Gen.
Butler and Judge Magruder my note, pay
able one year hence, for s., 900 each, II you
will get me out OF here. l think you can do
1t on the ground of the jurisdiction of
the court. have Just written to my brother

Magruder. depend on him to secure these
gentlemen, and depend on you 70 secure
Mr.. Merrick. Please call with Mr.. Merriek
without delay. 1 presume l could make
$50, 900 next winter lecturing IL | could get

night for six nights from Boston now"
In another letter, he says of Mr. Scoville:
al wish him to retire at once from the case
as soon as he submits his bill OF exceptions
to my new counsel. He is out of luck, and
has been for some time, and want nothing
to do with him on this case. Please see me
tomorrow or to-day, If you can, and bring
Mr.. Merrick, and l win give you $40 IL you
bring Mr.. Merrick to see me.n
In the next letter he says: "Merrick is
down on Scoville because he put Robinson
off the case. Merrick recommended Robin-
son, and the court appointed him on that
ground. AS soon as we can get rid of SEQ.
vile l think we can get Merrick. / want
Scoville to file his exceptions at once, and

OUR GREAT STAPLE.
A CALM VIEW OF THE OUTLOOK
What a Prominent Liverpool Firm
Say of Its Prospects.
Nanchester G1lardiqn. LIZ.

Manchester Guardian l1th.
The following remarks upon the prospects
of the cotton market We take from the
monthly circular Of Messrs. Ellison & Co.,
Of Liverpool:
Certain ingenious and not over. .scrupulous
critics affect to be surprised that whereas,
in October, we calculated that under certain
conditions the world could do with an
American crop of 6,215 600 bales, in Janu-
uary, under very different conditions, we
estimated that a crop of 5 100000 bales
would be sufficient; but they are not honest
enough to state the grounds upon which
the two estimates were given. It does
not suit their purpose TO state that in
October we said that a crop Of 6,2l5,000
would give all the cotton required by the
world, and leave the stocks in the ports and
at the mills at the close as large as at the
opening of the season-thst is, l 4SS 600
bales, against l .007, 900 in 1880 and 673 900
In 1879, ard thai If the stocks were reduced
to the level touched st the close of Septem-
Der, 1880, there would remain 4S1 900 bales
available for copsumD Dtion. In which case an
American crop Of 5, 734 900 bales would suf-
flee for the probable wants of the world
Nor are they straightforward enough to say
that In view of the then prospect of supply
we stated that whatever might be the fuc-
tuatlon in prices the average would be
rather under than over that Of the previous
season, which was 61Sd.
Since October very important changes
nave taken place in respect of both supply
and consumption. The current estimates
OF the probable Out-turn of the American
crop are considerably reduced, but the ex-
tent Of the yield is still matter of guess.
work. The result is that prices, instead of
sinking to lower average than 615d., have
risen considerably above that figure, while
distant futures. The advance in price has
checked business throughout the world; the
working up Of old contracts has kept up an
appearance Of activity, but the slow
giving out of new contracts has
made it impossible for producers to get an
advance in prices equivalent to the rise In
cotton, and already stocks are beginning to
accumulate. The advance in prices has
disclosed the fact that the enormous produc-
tion of the past two seasons has not vet
gone into consumption, whereas If prices
had remained at low level this ciTcam-
stance would have remained out of sight
until much later In the season. In this re-
spect, therefore, the outlook to-day is dis
tinctlY different from that which presented
itself in October.
Moreover, while the supply of American
cotton promises to be smaller than appeared
probable in October, that from India and
miscellaneous sources promises to be much
larger. This accounts for the revised esti-
mates given in our January annual, which
compare as follows with the figures put
forth in October. 1000 omitted)
