SUGAR DAY.

The Picayune says that on Monday
last the largest single days movement
of sugar and molasses ever recorded
took place in New Orleans. The arri.
walls from the plantations aggregated
1920 hogsheads and $4,000 barrels of
sugar and 900 barrels of molasses
Such an immense movement. adds the
Picayune, would in times past have
been almost sufficient to cause panic.
and certainly would have forced ma
terial reduction in prices; but no such
effect was produced, and the close Of
the days business not only witnessed
the entire amount sold, but as firm a
range OF prices and as bouyant an un-
dertone prevailing as have been known
Ut any time this season. 1t NAV be in.
ierred from these facts that confidence
In business affairs is one of the mos.
sustaining influences in favor Of good
prices. And since the election in
creased confidence seems to pervade
all departments of business. In MANY
instances wages have advanced, and q
better feeling prevails generally.

very good. Besides, she has composed
work for orchestra, fugues and sman
choruses, Miss Hoen comes of a musical
family; her sister, Miss Agnes Hoen,
has displayed skill and talent in this
art. In 1885 Miss Elizabeth e. Starr
received the second diploma given to a
woman. She took the degree for the
ory and vocal proficiency. She still
continues her musical course, and is
now director of chorus in one of the
principal churches in Baltimore. Per-
haps the woman who has shown the
most originality as a composer of song
is Miss Eta Dickson. She had already
exhibited talent as musician, but
struggled in vain for many years to
become a pianist. 1t is only lately
that she has turned her attention to
composition. She has written a string
quartet, some songs and some small
choruses for mixed voices, given at a
concert of the Oratorio society. A
collection of hers was also sung at a
public Peabody recital.

The common supposition that run
ming the gauntlet was torture pccu-
liar to the American Indians is not
founded on fact, this form of cruel
punishment being known in Europe
ages before the discovery of America.
The Romans had military punishment
identical with it, the offender being
compelled to walk between two lines,
the men of his century or company
being drawn up on either hand, each
armed with a rod which he was re-
quired to use on the culprit's back.
The word gauntlet is said to be a cor
ruption of gauntelope, derived from
Gauut or Ghent, and Dutch word
signifying to run, this torture being
common among the Flanders troops.
