ONE of the most tOuchingly pa
thetic incidents of the late meeting
of Morgan's men ut Lexington was
the tender affection which the vet
eran riders exhibited for" Johnnie"
the daughter oftheir dead colnnan
der. She was called to the stand,
and, after greeting from the SOL
diers, she was presented with a
handsome gold watch. Her re-
Spouse to the presentation speech is
most eloquent in its simplicity. The
sweetness with which Scott describ.
es the appeal OF Jennie Dean to
Elizabeth has been ascribed to the
power of simple words. What more
exquisite simplicity and sweetness
can be found than in the language
she used when surrounded by men
who had grown gray since they had
shared common danger with her
father. dear friends, / can't be-
gin to tell you how happy you have
made me and how grateful feel to
you for it. l assure you that | love
you as dearly as my father did, and
l sincerely hope that you may al
ways be as happy as you have made
me to-day" These few words ex-
pressed all that a labored Grafton
should have done. 1t was no Won
der that AT its close the woods trem-
bled beneath the shouts OF the war
riors. They grasped her hands and
tears blinded many an eye as each
looked upon the fair daughter of
their dead chief. No more beauti-
full incident of a more tender scene
can be imagined.-NdStg iHe World.

Does Her Own Work.

Cor. Franklin County News.
An article in last weeks News calls
out few thoughts to which we would
call the attention of some of your
many readers.
Is it not time that the false idea
that labor belittles any one should be
corrected? We are we'll aware that
the above idea is held by only a GER
tain class of upstairs who would take
pride in the vain glory of not work
ing, or even knowing how to do any
kind of house work.
As evils are apt to spread when let
alone, let us point out the one above by
going to the Bible, and see what class
of women were held out there as ex.
amples of imitation. "Let the Bible
ever be your guide and counsel" Who
can find virtuous woman for her
price is far above rubies; then de-
scribing such one by saying: "She
seeketh wool and fax, and worketh
willingly with her hands she layeth
her hands to the spindle, and her
hands holdeth the staff ; she looketh well
to the ways of her household, and
eateth not the bread of idleness."
Does this look like we women ought
to be ashamed to do our own house.
work? Circumstances alter cases. But
let us mothers teach our daughters that
honest labor is no disgrace. 1t is as
much an accomplishment to prepare
good meal of victuals as to perform on
the piano, and some men would tell
you it was even more essential to home
comforts and happiness. Many man
is deferred from establishing a house.
hold of his own, for fear he could not
meet the expenses of keeping a cook
and other maids. which a so-called
fashionable household would require !;
whereas they could be dispensed with
if a woman, being able, would not feel
above doing her share, thus proving
herself a helpmate to her husband in.
stead of bill Of expense.
There is large field of usefulness
open to us women in our household,
without joining the ranks of the pro-
fessional men, or even going to the
front. If we only perform the duties
God has assigned to each one Of us we
shall be useful to mankind and accepta-
BILE to Coda true woman. G.

Buffalo Mercantile Reporter.
The consumption of the famous Ten.
nessee marble is becoming very large
in this city, and we understand the de.
mand for it throughout the country al
most exceeds the supply. The re-
sources Of this State, in its plains on
the wsst, its bluegrass region of the
central, and its mountains and valleys
of the eastern portion, probably sur
pass any State of the Union; and if
its inhabitants properly appreciate and
develop these wonderful gifts of nature,
Tennessee must soon be the Empire
State of the South.

American: Corn has been very
quiet, caused, in the main, from the
fact that the new crop is not yet in
mercantile condition. Dealers cam
not handle it with any assurance Of
protection from loss in shipments South,
from whence the only demand
comes; as very slight degree of sap
remaining in corn rapidly develops in
a Southern climate when confined in
cars. Farmers will consult their in.
terests by holding on to their corn un-
til it is fully dry, as all the probabili>
ties are in their favor in the way Of
better prices later in the season.

BUSINESS md BANKING.

There are nearly one hundred banks IN New
York. every one of which holds some proper
ton of what is known i'll discount circles as
"Swamp paper" The recent failures in the
leather and other trades have consequently
excited no little discussion among bank officials,
and the question is eagerly canvassed, what is
the soft place in the present system which en-
ables firm To carry on its transactions upon
borrowed capital until nearly all its assets have
disappearedf
Under the system which prevailed before the
war, the bills in the market represented bona
iide mercantile transactions. If a merchant
bought so many hides. he gave bill for the
amount. When he Sold he drew on his customer,
and in each case the document bore on the face
of il the consideration for which it was drawn.
In those days credit was much longer than it
il now Three and six months were common
usances. and even ten months was not unknown.
Although there was no absolute hyp0thecatiOn
of the goods to meet the bill, yet the buyer
had. or supposed he had, the security of alegiti-
mate trade transaction at the back of it, and
that the goods, when sOld would discharge the
liability. The war, and the DISCRIMINATION OF
currency caused by it, abolished all this Cred
its were shortened. currency was plentllul ana
deprecated in value. Every existing debtor
made haste to discharge his liabilities in n
medium so reduced from its face value that
the creditor received only percentage of his
debt in discharge for the whole. This changed
the entire system of mercantile transactions.
National took the place of individual credit.
The system Of long usances disappeared. and
trade transactions were reduced practically to q
cash basis. The great majority of the business
of this city is now transacted ut from thirty to
sixty days credit, and bills are rarely drawn
except when the customer requires further in
diligence. The amount of mercantile paper
afoat representing specific mercantile transac-
lions is probably not q tenth part of the turn
over. A new system has consequently taken
the place of the old. The merchant, instead
of selling his customers paper, furnishes a
broker with his own notes, and these are sold
to the banker generally upon the repute and
credit of the firm alone, or with the support of
an indorser. Under this system, the paper out
bears no necessary proportion to the business
done. Indeed, it seems as If some of the firms
who have recently failed have added paper
