Reeeipts-For the year ending Aug 81, 1881, the
receipts were 2l2120 casks spirits turpen-
tine. and 95S s26 barrels rosin, showing a n
increase OF 2o.035 casks spirits turpentine
and decrease of 3.795 barrels rosin.
The failing off in receipts of rosin is due to the
weather condition Of the past thirty days, taken
together with the gradual Increase of the haul
from the stills which delays marketing the crop
A conservative estimate OF the crop which IS
now coming in fixes the increase at Ito IS per

OF 6,1SS barrels spirits turpentine aud Is. 253

Prices-Spirits and rosin have brought fair

siderable difficulty in effecting settlements and
the closing I'D of old accounts. The losses IN
Alabama were quite heavy, and while some
were looked for, as is always the case in a new
territory, the proportion was not expected TO be
as great as it was. The great bulk Of the fail
ures in this territory was attributed to
the low prices of cotton and to the
fact that the business was entirely
Overdone The sales Of agricultural nipple
ments was very fair during the season, but there
was good deal of competition and cutting of
prices by outside competitors. The business in
mechanical tools aud other articles was also
good. Prices were comparatively steady
through the year. There were but few fiuctua-
tiOns. the stringency OF money preventing an
advance. The exports of pig iron by the ocean
route show falling Off of 5000 tons. This
decease, though not as heavy as that of the
previous year, is much less than that of two
years ago. A good deal of the products of the
Alabama mines now goes overland. The ship

Usually the clerk is a votary Of fash
ions freaks. He watches the haber-
dasher's displays and his tailor's
plates as closely as the broker watches
the market reports. Style is his forte.
His necktie is the latest fad, and it is
seldom seen without the conventional
sparkle " Then the clerk is an ac
eomplished story teller. He stores up
every good yarn he hears. and he regales
any one who will permit the aff1ictlon
as often as the opportunity is presented.
Another character known to every
habitue of the popular hotel is the reg
ulation bartender. Always self.reliant,
you can never confuse him by inventive
genius. No matter whose nomenclature
you adopt when ordering decoction. the
hotel bartender goes TO mixing just as
though he had been familiar with that
particular beverage all his life. Just
try him. 1t is Wolth the experiment.

lie is the best abused man about the
hosiery. Although denounced from
the pulpit as the embodiment of wick
edness, ne must necessarily possess the
elements of honesty, else the proprietor
would be heavy loser, owing To the
big sums of money that pass through
his hands. The revenue that he handles
is necessary to the success Of the estab-
lishment.

its way, and a veritable revelation to
one who has never entered the sacred

bell and the register bell with alacrity
that ingratiates him in the esteem of
the guests. This is not always the case,
however. Some of the "hops" are as
slow as the proverbial messenger boy,
but their service is short-lived, indeed.
The 'hop" has sharp eyes and
quick ears, but he can pass in
and out of a room where
guests may be plunged into the
excitement of ''fushes," 'three of
kind" full hands," etc.. with admir-
able unconsciousness- seemingly Obliv-
ious of all surroundings. He is usually
rewarded for this bit of tact by hand
some tip when the game breaks up, and
it pays him to exercise caution and keep
mum" The bell boys are presided
over by a head boy, several years their
senior. The latter is usually stationed
close to the clerk, and is watchful that
every order in its minutest detail is
executed punctiliOusly.
One of the most unique characters of
hotel life Is the head waiter. His list
of acquaintances is coeytensive with the
number of guests Of the house. He is
an exceedingly formal parsonage, and
bows as profoundly as Partisan noble

would be very unbecOming in his estl-
nation. He dresses in the height of
fashion, and stone always flashes from
his immaculate shirt front. If one didn't
know him and were unacquainted with
his functions. one would be misled into
the supposition that he is a millionaire.
or approaching it. Yet his salary cuts
very small figure III the expense lists Of
the hotel. But wages are merely
nominal part of his receipts. If he is
success. his tips eclipse his legitimate
sources of revenue. He is saving
genius, and banks every nickel that
passes to his pockets. and he often has
snug deposit, and often owns good
roperties-usually real estate.
The head walters duties include the
of arranging the
dining room affairs. and careful atten-
ton upon the wants of the guests on
the part of the walters. When he dis
covers discrepancies, Or when he dis
covers that one of them fails to measure
up to the work. he discharges the inef-
fcient waiter straightway.
Then there are other attaches of hotel
who are the embodiment of originality,
and their functions and attributes
would make an interesting study.

HASTINGS. Mimi, July 4. - The
Fourth of July in Hastings was all that
could have been expected. All the
features were interesting ones. and
few Of those who came to the city went
away disappointed. The programme
was carried out 10 the letter. During
the grand parade Gen. c. P. Adams
acted as chief marshal. The president
Of the day was A. Z. Rich. Albert
Schaller read the Declaration of

Here is where the most important
parsonage of the entire establishment
presides. Here he is in his regal glory.
He is denominated the chef. and he Is

les is an indispensable commodity, and
he comes pretty near fixing his own
compensation and terms.
The waiting maids fit so nicely into
their places that one is often left with
the impression they must be race by
themselves. And they are busy people
always hurrying hither and thither in
the performance of their duties; and
they comprise, collectively, an impor-
tant facter in the conduct of the inSti-
tuition. Their labors are arduous-dis-
proportiOnately so in comparison with
the meager wages they are allowed.
You encounter them on every floor,
brush. broom and bucket in hand. They
seem tireless. What they do must be
done quickly. neatly and well. Good
waiting maids are not plentiful.
The word maid may be misleading.
1t IS only an appellation. for the larger
number have crossed the meridian of
life, and can reflect upon lapse of
many years since their cradlehood.
While they are neat and not unattract-
i've, as rule. they are seldom hand
some. Now and again you will find
flower, but these are rare occurrences.
Like all American servants, the hotel
maid has her day off. 1t is then that
she arrays herself in fashionable habili-
ments and starts out to keep an appoint
ment with her sweetheart. She always
has beau, for their lexicon of super
stitiOn prOnounces the want of best
fellow an omen of i'll luck.
The housekeeper selects the maids,
and she directs their labors. They begin
their work at a. m, and often are Oh
liged to work late into the evening.
When the maids are popular with
guests their wages are materially helped
out by tips"
One of the most familiar figures in the
hotel is the bell boy. He is f1eet-foOted,
agile and intelligent, else he soon is
sent adrift by the management. He
mustn't blunder, for blunders are mex
cusable happenings in a well-managed
hotel. The bell hop" as he is called
in hotel parlance. has plenty of work to
do, and he must be mighty quick about
it, too. He is uniformed in dark blue.
