New Orleans as a Business City.

A business man of this city, who recently
went to New Orlt ans with the belief that the
North and South were about to shake hands
commercially, and that the Worlds Exhibi-
ton was the biggest event since the. fall of
Richmond. is willing to live to green old
age without seeing New Orleans again. He
undertook to do some business incidentally
while there, and was arrested for selling goods
by sample without license. exposing him
self thus to a fine of $50. After a delay of
five hours he was brought before magistrate,
where he pleaded his case so effectively that
he not only escaped with n warning, but in
quiet chat with the Judge a few moments
later he succeeded in selling him and his
clerk specimens of the very products OF
Yankee ingenuity which had just been the
occasion of his arrest. "As all Yankees have
not my presence and my ability" remarks
the aforesaid citizen of this city, ''to induce
New Orleans Judges to help one to break the
law, | would advise that they take in the
exhibition as show and not as place to
do business From the Springfield Mass. }

The Value OF old Newspapers.

Having occasion the other dav to search
for some copies of daily newspapers of
certain date in 1875. | was not surprised
to find that at the offices of the newspa-
pers | could buy no copies. Not one of
the great dailes could furnish copy of
the date which needed. but was referred
in every case to a man named Robert
Budd, formerly boot black, who makes
business of dealing in back numbers of
newspapers ! found him and in half an
hour had the papers.
Budd's history, or rather that of his
business is peculiar. He is coal.black
negro with an intelligent face and re,
markable faculty for estimating the value
of his wares. Although he has a regular
price-list. his prices vary according to
what he thinks may be the value of the
paper to the would,be buyer. Some
months ago there was law case which
required the presentment in court either
OF a certain newspaper or of certified
copy of an article covering several pages
in small type. Budd was the only man
he asked 300 for it. although it was not
10 years old, and had originally cost him
but two cents. and the sum was paid, for
the certified copy would have cost still
more.
Five years ago Budd bad boot black
ing stand on Broadway, near Thirtieth
street. and at the same time sold news
pers. He was struck bv the number OF
demands made upon him for copies of
newspapers two or three days or a week
or even month old, and he had the idea
of adding to his business, that of old
newspapers. That there is demand for
old newspapers is amply shown by the
business he has built up. At present he
occupies large cellar. the walls ofwhch
are lined with newspapers tied up in bum
dies. each bundle containing the copies of
one month of each paper. There is tag
attached to each bundle, giving the month
and year.
As he still keeps up his newspaper
stand. he of course gets his papers at cost
price. and when q person really wants a
paper there is fine chance for profit.
Every day Budd puts away twenty copies
of the Herald. twenty copies of the Sun.
ten of the World. Times and Tribune
each, and five copies OF each of the even
ing papers. His schedule of prices is
supposed to be as follows: For papers
three days old, double the price tor
papers week old. 10 cents; for papers a
month old. 25 cents; for papers a year
old. 81; for papers more than year old,
Sl.25 additional for each year. But. as
said before. this schedule is no guide in
case Budd discovers that the paper is OF
great importance. Soon after he began
business he bought up complete files of
several newspapers running back in some
cases to 1850. That he finds the business
a profitable one may be inferred from his
ability to keep two assistants at work.
The number of persons who wish to buy
back copies of the newspapers is larger
than most people might suppose; in the
course of half an hour. during which |
sear,;hed through an old file. five persons
came into Budd's place and bought papers
varying in age from two days to six years.

THE Prince and Princess of Wales will
visit ireland in April. They will go
surrounded by soldiers, police and de-
tectives for safety. Yet it would be no
surprise to hear oftheir being blown up
in spite of their armed surroundings.
If the Prince and Princess would go
unattended by armed guards, putting
themselves under the care. of Parnell
and his friends. and appealing to the
hospitality of the Irish people, does
any one suppose they would be harmed?
Would not Irish chivalry be sufficient
safeguard?

How do you like the Cabinet? Only
SO, so. For instance, we do not think
it looks very consistent for President
who was elected on the cry of reform,
and by the votes of the Independent
Republicans, to give the Treasury port
folio to Dan Manning machine poll
tician Of the most pronounced type.-
Republican Exchange.
Mr.. Manning is no more of machine
politician than the Republican who
penned the above. But, talking about
machine politicians, the Republicans
placed one of the gentry upon their
ticket for second place in 1880, and a
Republican bullet put him up head,
but he made a pretty fair President. In
fact he was too good for the machine
politicians who control the Republican
organization and they refused to give
him a denomination, preferring to stand
by well-known trickster. We merely
sight this to give our readers an idea of
the amount Of cheek the average Re-
publican is possessed of. AS for the In.
dependent Republicans electing Mr..
Cleveland, it is all bosh. The people
wished change, they SO voted, and got
it. That is all there is in that.

appearance it resembles the Herald, the

Northern Ohio have always felt proud
of the old Plain Dealer, but its new
