The coavweration turned on theo extraordlaary good seped tbol steamer wia mataing, cad led to a be. In "covering" the wager of a moverelga uoon a trivial matter, one of the four gentlemen took from his purse a gainea of the reign of William cad Mary. "There are only two of them In ezist. once." he said proudly, "and this pleoc Is worth a hndr times its face vaina Had I the other, the collection of two would be samply invaluable to numis matlets." He laid it on the table as he spoke, and ia a moment aite? the cola had die. appeared. Nbody aw It fall or glide OFtetbe obody saw anybody elm take it. Its owner searched high and low; his three comupanione Land the steward helped him. No other per' sons were in the compartment, and yet the coin could not be found. Theme four men had been at re to each other when the voya began. They had been five days out, and were rapidly nearing port. the owner of the va nable coin was inconsolable, suspicious and profane by terns. "Ill tell you what is the beat thing to do," said one of the party. "The con is not on the floor; it can not have rolled through the ceiling. Somebody here must have it. Let all of us be marched." AU agreed but one 'entleman, who had hitthertosaid nothing. He positively refused to esffer such an indignity.

The good ship Alaska~ploughed on is her sixth day, and just after her com. pleting it Fire Island was sighted. The gentleman who had (refused to be searched had been put in coventry; the three athere who had eat at the table with hjen had unanimously suspected him. But just au the pilot came aboa d the Alarks the gentleman who had lost the guinea found it sticking in the soleof his boot, where it had been wedged ever since ho had first displayed It. He was overjoyed at his discovery and anxi ins to make amends for his unjust suspic ion's. "But " said he, to the gentleman who had refused to be searched, "why on earth did you not atree as we all did to such a simple test. That would have settled the matter instantly." "No, it wouldn't," answered the other. "Why not?" "Because (oroducing his purse] there ie the only other coin o; the kind in the world-ea.me date, same color, worn the same! That is the reason I refused to be searched, for nothing on earth would have made you believe this was not your own cotn had von not been se lucky as to recover it." As the Alaska steamed into port a so cial glass removed all traces of unpless satness. Sherman anm Sheridan. The Albany Argus shasses off the fol lowing pen-and-Ink sketch of these two military worthies: Gen. Wm. T. Sherman on Thursday yielded command of the army to Ident. Gen. Philip II. Sheridan. The powers of the latter are inc-eased, but not his rank. The law is that ,the rank of ge eral shall lapse on the death of Sher man, and that of lieutenant-general on the death of Sheridan. This was with the view of restoring eventually the old system of having tme highest rank that of majo' general, the senior major-ge. neral to command the army, under the constitutional control of the president as comnnian.letia'ehief of the lIad and naval forces both. The change from Sherman to Sheridan is an Interesting historical event. Both are men of ge ntus. The genius of each is similaer in its intense vitality, but unl~ke in all other respects. Sherman is a great strategist ps well as a great campaigner, a scho!ar, a cyntc, an orator, a waltser, kisser, a strong hates for a short while, an egotist, terrible In war, lazy in peace, with a sporadic energy in authorship, full of cheSr for ."the boys" and of raIllery for the girls. Peace makes a Bohemian of him-but he has sa old soldier's dogmatism, testi iiess saeeote, ani as a citizen his com mon sense Is amazing in its amount. tHis are the weaknesses which hang on the neck of strength. Sheridan's genims has so far been illustrated only by nand ling troops In action, by improvlsing re sources or devices in great emergencies and by his ability t. inspire conhfdence of spirit sad celerity of movement among his men. In these regards be never had a superior In the Union Army. He has a few powers extraordinarily de veloped. Sherman has s many so pow erfully developed, that they border on the thin partiU an which dividesgrand capacity rom subliasted cuakjem. Re specting books, society sad pleasure, Sheridan is commonplace. He is intense Ia battle, but not intellectual ouL of It. Bntesacratic work ad sheer pos duty chafed Sherapse, #ad will be intol erable to Sheridan; but both men have such a hold on the history and heart of the land that they candoaaythingwith In the law, which they please, except rea for president or exploit five aces.

Granger, if I fall in this at, please see my body decently buried and my name correey spelled in the newspapers"e nd he deliberately spelled it A Year of Meat. From the B»snu Adver ider. To-day begins the new provision year just as the cotton year hegin3 on Step tember 1, and the agricultural year on July 1. In looking back over the pro vision year just ended two facts stand out with remarkable prominence. In the first p'sae the past year has been extremely Irregular in prices and in the second place, during the year just ended provisions have saved our bal ance of trade rather more than any thing else. A year ago it was petroleum which always came to the rescue when we were on the oolnt of shipping gold. The ides that our pro ision exports have been remarkai.ly brisk, on account of the prices, is not absolutely correct; for wheat is very cheas, probably toe cheap. and yet Europe is not disposed to take now at a low price what finally will go, as there is reason to believe at an advanced price. But the fact remaims that provisions are very cheap, and that we have exported very large quantities. The fluctuation of prices during the past year has been extreme, and to a large part of the trade it has been disas trous. Thus a barrel of pork cost in the principal market of the country as much as sil, Xt a year ago, whit-a the price to day is down to $sl:0. Ribs cost a year aig" in Chicaco $11.75, and are now down to $; 75 or lees. Lard icue to $210 in May. and heas late been sol I 'or 16 20. The cheapest month for provision buy ers was ieptemiber: but it is not certa" that the trade has matle the mos of it. chance, for it is a trait of nearly all trades that mneu wash to buy when prices rise sharply, and that a marked do cline frightens buyers away. They think that lou piaces will be lower, ana that high prices will be higher etitl. The flocteations in the proria on prices during ths year now piast are dna almost entirety to manipulatioans rather than to irregular demands. The great Chicago packers and their rich backers delight in making a corner or a deal, and in smashtse prices by vast mountains of provilsons and by huge piles of money. The laity condemns these manipulations but forgets that, strange as it may sound, the reckless speculation of the western packers has given us provisions so cheap that the poor man in particular might thank the greasy bosses of Chicago and the other places where pigs do netly eonareaate. Nor are supplies likely to run abort. America contains about 825 swine to every thousand inhabitantas, while Eu rope contains 157 and is more parity them we are. America has about 7a, head of cattle to every thonesnd people while Europe contains 310 and is osin t both absolutely and relatively. Even in sheepwe exceed the Europeanetaadard, sawe have about 9 C to every tooneand inhabibats, awainst 662 In Europe.
