last weeks reported, and for corresponding
weeks in previous years:


Generally, the recent movement Is the
largest ever known at time when navigation
was closed. For some weeks the speculative
advance in prices checked exports, but the
later decline has brought out more liberal
foreign orders. On the other band, in spite
of declining prices, sales of cotton for export
have practically ceased, the increase OF
100000 bales in exports earlier in the crop
year having apparently satisfied the immediate
demand.
The volume of exchanges during the past
week, including $1O4, 1885, 773 for Friday, when
all the commercial and stock organizations
were closed, and only $40, 643,272 for Satur-
day. when the lack of dealings of the previous
day was felt, amounted to $500, SO3,6l9. De-
Quoting for sales of stocks the remaining ex-
changes were only $40, O,0OO-an unusually
small amount, even for week embracing one
holiday. The dulness in the iron and some
other trades still affects business unfavorab y
and the postponement of reduction OF duties
to future date, though it Is just and proper
tends to check business transactions during the
intermediate period.

YORK TO BE REMEMBERED.

The distribution of funds among the sufferers
by the Western floods goes on. In the mean
time, 1t is a question whether some recognition
should not be made Of the work Of the Life
Saving Service while the foods were at their
height. These worthy men do not want gratui-
ties, and to give them would not In any case
tend to improve the morale of the Service. But
some recognition might be extended to service
which was rendered, at less personal risk, no
doubt, than that incurred in some cases of ship
wreck, but which involved most unselfsh de-
votion to duty and indifference TO hardship
and toll.
The official reports of the Liie-Saving Bureau
at Washington present an aggregate of work
accomplished by Western crews during the
floods which is perhaps not realized by the
country at large. At Louisville, where there is

TINE r.Te POSTMASTER. GENERAL.

The sudden death of Postmaster General
Howe adds another to the grisly surprises OF
this i'll -fated season. Mr. Howe had been long
in public life; he had many personal friends
and no enemies. Those who differed most
widely from his political views could not help
a feeling OF kindly regard for the amiable old
Third Termer who had been repudiated ms
United States Senator by his State, and thought
incompetent for the Postmaster 6 eneralshiD by
nearly the whole country.
He profoundly believed General Grant the
greatest statesman Of the century. Al
ter Grant, he suspected that, with the
single exception of Mr.. Conkling, whom
he also worshipped from afar. nobody
else deserved TO bo ranked much higher in
pure craftsmanship than himself and he pitIed
Wisconsin for blndly rejecting his services
He regarded doubts as TO the wisdom OF
the Machine as the worst form OF heresy,
and opposition TO the Machine leaders "a
little short of downright blaspheny. In oil this
he WAS so genuinely narrOw-mndcd, so anus
ngly red hot in his prejudices, so tranSparenty
sincere and ingenious, that even those who
were most opposed to his course, and had the
least respect for his opinions, could not
help liking the man. lie has left no
speech or other record of his intel
lectual work in Washington that rises
above mediocrity; and it will always
be reckoned one of the most amazing incidents
Of the Grant regime that Timothy o..
Howe had an opportunity to decline
the Chief Justceship of the United States !;
lust "a it will always be thought strange that
an accidental President, striving to gather
Cabinet that would strengthen his Administra-
ton and help to lead the country, pitched
upon this man for Postmastcr-Ge n'ral.
He was correct and winning in private life =,
n man of strong attachments and high personal
fidelity. More than this in n time of great
official corruption his hands were clean.

The feast of Easter was celebrated yes
terday, even in churches which have no
calendar of teasts or fasts. Christianity
yearly becomes more liberal, in its obseryances
at least, and every denomination grows more
willing to appropriate it's neighbours good
points. This is an encouraging sign. II the
amiable practice of giving and taking goes on
for some years longer at the same rate as in
the past, points of difference may finally be
30 hard to find that they will not be worth
considering at all. Then distinctions between
the various sects viii be without a difference.
Any one who has read the reports of the labor
union meetings held from time TO time during
the past wiuter, must confess that they are of
little or no benefit to workingmen. The ses-
sions have been marked by nothing but bicker-
ings or violent qnarrels. The members appar-

Valuable Souvenirs.

Lord Ward offered Sarah Bern
hardt, $4,000 for the ragged little
suit she wore when her talent was
first discovered, but she wouldn't
take it. The Marquis of Hereford
offered Rachel two diamonds worth
10000 francs for the guitar she used
when singing for bread in the streets
of Paris, and which she carried with
her till her death. "Not for all the
jewels in the crown of Victoria" she
said. The Marquis had Garrick's
umbrella, Mdlle. Mars fan, TaIma's
watch, and the last bottle of wine
which Kean drank from, and which
fell from his hand half emptied.

GEN. GOEsGAS.

Gen. Josiah Gorgas, who recently
deceased had claims to larger space
and stronger tributes of admiration
and respect in the South than our
public chronicles have yielded to
him. His services and achievements
did not supply those elements for
dramatic effect by which other actors
in the great conflict of our civil war
have managed to give attraction and
spirit to their narratives aud engage
the popular attention and applause.
And yet no man in his sphere acted
more important part and contribu-
ted more largely to the success
achieved by the Confederates in that
conflict than Josiah Gorgas. OF
ardor, vigor and devotion in our
great rebellion there was a supera-
bundance. Oar great lack and weak
ness was deplorable deficiency Of
arms and munition. 1t was to sup
ply this deficiency Gen. Gorgas de
voted his energies and great admin
istrative abilities. His success was a
surprise to the whole Confederacy.
The sold ers of the Confederacy did
not know where they came from, but
it was not long after the commence
ment of the war, which was with very
antiquated and inadequate weap-
ons, before they found themselves
competent to confront, to combat
and to conquer their foes, with all
their vast resources. 1t would be an
instructive chapter of the history
which describes the methods by
which this marvellous result was
achieved From the highest authors
ity, from the President and the gen-
erals of the Confederate armies down,
the universal acknowledgement has
always been of Gen. Gorgas' chief
agency in effecling this happy relief
of the distressed copdition of our
gallant armies.
The performer of such an exploit
merits large and prominent space
IN the history of American genius
and energy ". o. Times Demo-

ON a Naughty Boy. sleeping.

Oh a. INV PA'-s
Just now | missed from hall and stair
A joyful treble that had grown
As dear TO me as that grave tone
That tells the world my older care.
And little footsteps on the floor
We're stayed. | laid aside my pen,
Forgot my theme, and listened, then
Stole softly TO the library door
No sigh! no sound!-a moments freak
OF fancy thrilled my pulses through:
"If-nO"--aud yet that fancy drew
A fathers blood from heart and cheek.
And then-I found him. There he lay,
Surprised by sleep, caught III the act
The rosy vandal who had sacked
His little town. and thought it play:
The shattered vase; the broken jar;
A match still smoulderiug OH the floor;
The inkstand's purple pool of gore;
The chessmen scattered near and far.
Strewn leaves of albums lightly pressed
This wicked Baby of the woods;
In fact, of half the household goods
This son and heir was seized-possessed
Yet all in VAN, for sleep had caught
The hand that reached, the feet that
strayed;
And fallen in that ambuscade
The victor was himself o'erwrought.
What though torn leaves and tattered
book
Still testify his deep disgrace?
| stopped and kissed the inky face,
With its demure and calm outlook.
Then back stole, and half beguled
My guilt, in trust that when my sleel
Should come, there might be one whod d
keep
An equal mercy for His chlld.
