"LA MARECHALE.v
4ScentaFes of a Detachment of the Salca-

-4dcentwFes of Detachment of the SGlca-
tiOn5StS la Genera.
The GenevS correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes: ''It may be doubted that
General Booth was we'll advised in send
ing hither detachment of his numerous
army, or that it will meet with the success
that the supposed evangelical character OF
Geneva may have led him to anticipate

she appeared on platform and spoke in
nuent French with all the self-possession

OF ali this may be imagined when it is
remembered that at Geneva il is not con-
sldered CONNIE il fault for young girl to
take the shortest walk unaccompanied by
her bonnie. to shake hands with male
cousin in the street or speak in society
without first being spoken TO. I cannot
put into words the verdict Geneva
matron passes on the young girls who travel
about with men who are neither fathers nor
brothers, while the sight of jeune file in
uniform distributing pamphlets or can
vassing for converts seems to her some
thing more and worse than a gross viola
ton of propriety.
Ills tomberOnt sous lie ridicule,' said
people to each other. But somehow or
other they were not killed by ridicule.
Their meetings were well attended; every
body said that Colonel Clibbron spoke ex-
tremely well pour un Anglais; Miss Booth
was declared to be tres belle file; she
charmed her auditors, especially those of
the male sex, by the sweetness of her voice
and the gracefulness of her gestures, and
converts began to enlist under the Saliva
ton banner. Then opposition arose; the
meetings were disturbed by brawlers, who
sang ribald songs and drowned the voices
of the speakers in yells and groans. The
authorities refused to intefere-at any
rate, they did not intefere-Rnd as a

tered with mud and even stoned the
audience as the latter went in and came
out.
''The next step was that Miss Charles
worth, q young lady of sixteen. who has
acted as Miss Booths secretary, was ex-
PEELED from the canton of Geneva at six
hours notice; and Miss Booth shared the
same fate. The grounds of Miss Charles
worth's expulsion, as stated in the decree
of the council ofstate, are that she could
not produce the written permission Of her
parents to reside IN the canton, and had
refused to undergo police Interrogation
on Sunday morning. The reason assigned
for Miss Booths expulsion is that she
could not, al a moments notice, produce
an account Of a collection which was made
two months ago at meeting of the sal
Walton army"

break the tape or wax, and so on the trip
across the ocean it is an easy matter to
watch the valuable consignment, and de-
tect any attempt to interfere with it.
Gold crosses the ocesn very much as does
any other kind of freight. Years ago there
were some shippers who detailed an en-
ploye with every consignment to act as a
kind of detective and hold watch as best
he could over their kegs. No
such care is ever taken now. As a
rule, the gold shipped is insured.
Safely watched until on shipboard, the
precious freight is then under the
control of the vessel authorities and the
marine insurance companies, and upon
these parties is all the responsibility
placed. The average rate of insurance is
about e350-something over $1,700-upon
a shipment of $1,000,000. There are
shippers who do not insure, or rather they
insure themselves. One prominent house
in Wall Street, which sent some $30,0O0,-
600 abroad last year, paid no tax to any in
surance companies. The saving thus
affected amounted to about $4,000. In
maintaining this policy of no in
surance these shippers say
that their savings on this account
since they have been IN business have been
such as would enable them to lose outright
a shipment of S1,000,000 or more and still
have balance to their credit in the fund
which they have set aside in their own
house instead of paying it out for insur-
ance. Carefully choosing the steamer up
on which to place consignments, they dis
count all probability of disaster. As rule,
however, the shipper who does not insure
divides up his consignments. Having to
ship $1,000,O00 he will give it in equal parts
to four or five different vessels. 1t is
strict rule with some Wall street firms
never to trust more than $25O,000 ct a time
to any one ship.
One Of the singular circumstances con-
nected with the shipping of gold is that
for the last twenty years or more every
keg which has beenout of Wall street has
been handed down to the vessels by one
man, "honest old John Barkley," who is
said to have grown rich in the business.
For each keg he takes on board his truck
he is paid one dollar, and the big heavy
one, which he had built for the special
purpose, will carry 100000, or forty
kegs. A similar monopoly is held by
Cooper Speir, who furnishes all the kegs
and packs them, getting two dollars for
each one completed.

FINANCE & COMMERCE.
Board of Trade.

ST.. PAUL, March IL, 18S3.-The market
was dull again yesterday. Holders q
grains, while they did not make any con
cessions, were not very strong in holdin
on to prices. Altogether the market was
weaker. For wheat there was very light
demand indeed. The mills are not de-
handing quite as much now as heretofore
and speculation being clear out of the way
quotations we're very weak. Corn was
also off and suffered a decline. The de-
mand for oats still light, and it was evident
that buyers would not come up TO the de-
mand of sellers. The consequence is that
prices were unchanged and transactions
very light indeed. Rye unchanged.

The 'Iongshoreman said he would like to
shut James Short up and feed him on his
own bill of fare for six months. 1 dare
say James would be perfectly willing to be
treated so, provided Jenny could be the

whether they are satisfactory.
