A Condemned Rice Circular

The New Orleans Times Democrat calls
attention to one of the circulars of Dan
Talmage's Sons, Of New York, rice deal
ers, whose principal house is in New York.
and who have branch houses in Charles
ton and New Orleans. This firm sends
out circulars quite frequently, some Of
which reach this city. Those which
reach here, however, do not influence the
market one way or the other, In all proba.
bility, for the reason that no credit is
given Messrs. Talmages' Sons
for superior knowledge rela.
tive to the rice market. Those
which reach the localities where our rice
finds market may influence the prices
of rice very greatly.
The circular to which the Times. Demo
crat takes exception is calculated, il is
alleged, TO cause prices to fall 1t is a
"bear" circular. and il seems that the
New orleans Produce Exchange has
taken steps TO counteract ITS influence.
The prices are now 80 low that the rice
planters are scarcely able to meet ex-
penses, although in the production of the
present crop they have economical in
every possible way. 1t is certainly to be
regretted that any of those who make a
living by handling rice should endeavor
to depress prices, particularly at a time
when the rice planting interest is barely
able to sustain itself.

Senator CalPs PenmansbiD

Washington Letter in Nil,oaukee Sentinel.
1t is. perhaps, we'll for Senator Calls peace
OF mind that the sentiments of employees Of
the government printing Office cannot pre :
vail against him. printer in the Record
room gives graphic account of the manner
In which the Senator'S last speech was put in
type. Mr.. Calls penmanship is anything but
legible. In fact, 1t is the very worst which
comes from the capitol. The foreman could
do nothing with it, but he gave It out. hoping
that the combined intelligence Of a hundred
printers would be able to make 1t out, For
an hour or two after the frst take was
given out the atmosphere of the print
ing shce was rather sulphurio.
The typesetters INDUCED in those
choice and comprehensive specimens of
profanity for which the average printer is
noted. Had Senator Call been near enough
to hear he would have heard things said Of
him which might bave shockedbne who is &C
customed TO so much courtesy and politeness
as prevails in the senate. The continents of
the printers were dec dedly unparla entary.
The printers in the Record room are EXPERT
craftsmen, hut they could do nothing with
Senator CalPsmanuscript. The proof re qders
we're likewise beaten. ana the only thing to do
was to send the proof sheets TO the Senator for
correction. When they came book. with the
corrections, the foreman ordered the speech
reset. An old typo said he never saw such
hen scratching. nor did he ever see such an
lnturiated set of printers

Those who are acquainted with the rigorous

story told OF him on the coast, where he has
takea up his home. Recent, the old lighter

ton on the Klemouth, and ont as way up cleo
trifed the ungodly but ktndly disposed
tesmsters and packers with a series of
hymns, from Ninety and Nine" to
"Pull for the Shore" all sung in the
rounded tones Of his rich Baritone voice.
The ears of the packers were amazed. The
songs they had been accustomed to hearing
were on entirely different subjects, and
would be tolerated in no well regulated or
thodox church. The men grew restless un-
der the fusifade Of hallelujahs, and finally a
meeting was called in the tent of Jim
Stokes. the head teamster. Committee of
one was appointed to file a protest with the
grizzled Major General.

THE ELECTORAL FRAUD.
$3.50, 900 Bluntly Asked for Louisiana's
Votes.

From Mr.. Henry Watterson's Re,tfniscenced
of Kr. TIldef1 in the Courier journal.
The day after the election started to New
Orleans under instructions to report the sit
uation in Louisiana with every possible full
ness and dispatch. found on arriving there
that the Democrats had carried the State
upon the actual votes cast by majority OF
not less than 5000 and that the Republican
managers were holding back the official re-
turns with the obvious purpose OF counting In
the Hayes electors.
Duri6g my stay in New Orleans quite a
number of persons-representing themselves
variously. but all claiming to be able to do
what they offered to do-came to me with
schemes of one SORT and another. One at least
OF the propositions was very direct and spe-
ciflc, and seemed to be made by authority. II
was put in Susiness-ltke way. and backed
up by credentials. "You are quite sure" said
|, THAT you can deliver the goods?" He said
he was. "And how much do you want?" l
asked. 1.-TWO hundred and nifty thousand dol
lars" he replied with the simplicity Of inns,
cence and candor; "a hundred thousand
apiece for Wells and Anderson and fifty thou
sand to be divided between the niggers."

Gallant But Vulgar Dukes.

from tie San Frdncisc0 Argondut.
Lord Glare was indebted to the Duke and
Duchess of Rutland Tor a small share of his
political ard social success in early life. by
which he paved the way for his elevation 10
the Irish Lord Cbancelorship. He was boon
companion of the jovial Duke, and be rlvaled
General st. Leger in devotion to the beautiful
Duchess. 1t is recorded that one night, after
dinner at the castle" the Duchess dipped
her fingers in . water glass, whereupon
either st. Leger or Fitzgibbon seized it and
drank OF the contents. "If you want another
draught," shonted the Duke, ''the Duchess
puts her feet in hot water before going TO
bed" A similar but smarter story is related
OF Maria de Padilla, the lovely wife Of Pedro
the Cruel. It was the regular custom of the
Young cOurtler TO drink the waters in which
Her Majesty had bathed, aud Pedro rebuked
one Of these gallapts for not doing so. Ike his

1t seems that MIR. H. [. Kmball, who is
has made another landing. The New
York Commercial Advertiser in late
issue contains the following rather enter
tanning item: THE Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society has habit OF capturing the
very best material available. A recent
instance is the appointment of Mr., II. l..
Klmball, late of Atlanta, Ga, as Inspec-
tor General OF the company's agency de-
partment. AS the chief organizer of the
notable building enterprises, worlds
fairs, expeditions and commercial con-
ventions that have kept Atlanta prom =
nently before the country and made it the
most thrifty and progressive city of the
South, Mr.. Kimball has made a national
acquaintance and reputation which
should be of great advantage to the Equi-
table. He will be welcomed to New York
by large number of our leading mer-
chants and manufacturers, who have
been the recipients Of his oourtesies at
the Atlanta fairs and expositions." Yes,
Mr.. Kimball was a first class hand at
fairs, expositions, conventions and other
things when he made Georgia his home.
Georgia will not soon forget him, and yet
there is no disposition In this State to
envy New York her acquisition. Mr..
Kimball may make the Equitable the big
gest thing Of the kind In the country, but
he will never forget Kimball, nor let the
kimball light be obscured.

Prince AIexander's Return.

Prince Alexander, according to our
dispatches this morning, has telegraphed
TO the regency to announce TO the people
his intention to return to Sofia. In day
or two, therefore, 1t is probable that he
will have resumed his position OF ruler Oh
Bulgaria. The revolution by which he
was denosed and that by which his au-
thority was again recognized were blood
less
1t is remarkable that the Car should
have stated that he knew nothing about
the plot to dep0se Prince Alexander until
it was executed. There Is no question
that Russian agents alone were active in
bringing about the revolution, and that
Russia alone would have been benefited
had it been successful.
1t is in keeping with Russian diplo-
macy, however, for the Russian govern
ment to deny all knowledge OF plots which
have for their object the overthrow o. the
governments of other countries, or in
reference with their domestic affairs,
II they are unsuccessful. If they are sue
cessful, however, it is quick to claim the
credit for whatever may have been done.
The agents Of unsuccessful plots, II
they succeed in preserving their lives, are
furnished with liberal pensions and sent
into retirement. They are forced to re-
main in obscurity until the affair in which
they were concerned is forgotten.
The Russian agents In the Bulgarian
affair, it seems, were we'll supplied with
Russian gold with which to corrupt those
OF Prince AleXander's officers whose as
sistance was necessary to carry out the
plot. The agents mistook the temper OF
the Bulgarian common people, and Russia
herself failed to comprehend the esteem
in which Prince Alexander was held by
other European governments.

Mr.. George Washington Siet, of Nyack,
New York, has the sort of a wife that it
doesn't pay to fool with. Mr.. Siet day
or two ago was playing dominoes at the
Nyack House with some friends, when
he was startled by the appearance of his
wife with her two little children and a
poodle dog. Mrs. Siet was evidently
angry. She said: "Ah, now I've found
your So it is here you spend your nights
gambling, is it? Well, l have brought
your little boys and your pet dog to wit
ness your disgrace. Children, look at
him." OF course Mr.. Siet was very much
astonished, but his astonshment knew
no bounds when Mrs. Siet produced a
rawhlde whip and proceeded to give him
a good whipping. The whipping bust
ness over, Mrs. Siet, the children and the
poodle dog retired, and Mr.. Siet proceed
ed with his game of dominoes. By way
of explanation he remarked to his friends
that his.wife was a little "off" mentally
and that that was a way she had OF acting
IN her off condition. Mr.. Siet is very
patient and philosophical sort of man.
