Now that everybody in erring "hard1 times,'' and complaining of tho scarcity of monev and the high price of the neces-1 paries ol life, a brief review of the mar-1 kets, in connection with the wages paid be-1 fore and after the rebellion, way- bo found interesting. In tho palmy uava "befo' the wall," when every man jingled hard money In bin |>ockct, the country was! reaping the benetita of bountiful harvests, peace, plenty and prosperity. But how marked the "change. The entire nation was Huddenlv called to arms; otliees, stores, workshops and fields were deserted for the pomp and pageantry and circumstance of glorious war. \Ve all remember tho steady advance of rent*, of clothing, of provisions, of the little luxuries we hau been in the habit of enjoying at a trilling cost. At the close of tho war prices were at their highest,and maintained a uniform rate until about 1870, since which time a gradual shrinkage is perceptible. With theadvancc in the cost of living wages also rose, no doubt more esjjccially for tho reason that during the war workmen were hard to get at any price. Wages, also, have been reduced within the past live yearn from war rates, and corftfideralilv lower, too, tlfan the , corresponding decline in tho cost of living. Jlutthat all our readers may see and judge for themselves we append below a table containing the wage* paid workingracn in 1S4J0, just before the rebellion, in 1870, live years after the cruel war was over, and at the present time. It is impossible to give one quotation, ns a general rule, that will cover exactly either wages or prices of living, anil therefore we generally give two. tui: tit a dep. i ISSo i lftTo I isio , i_; Ularksinllb per week !

It will be observed that the salaries of the railroad men are now the same, or nearly so, as in 1800. This in ay not l>e entirely correct, as the ligtircs lor the year 1S00 were given from memory alone, there being no data in the city by which to obain the necessary information. The wages paid nt glass ho.uscs, quoted above, were obtained from the books of Messrs. Ilobbs it Barnes, who were proprietors of the South Wheeling Glass Works in 1.S00, and the present firm, J. II.* Ilobbs, Brockunier & Co. We take the salaries naid on^Wlieeling and Parkersbtirg and Wheeling and Cincinnati packets for our steamboat quotations. The wages of the mill men, mechanics, clerks, etc., were uniform in the city ho far as our observation extend*. Having fhown the earnings of the workinginen, we now propose to show the cost of living in the years mentioned. Only articlc* in ordinary use, going to mako up the necessaries of a family, arc quoted.

Willi the exception of dry goods", which arc a* low ami in Konic in*latice* lower now than in 1800, there is still a wide difference in prices. For instance print* which sold in 1800 at 0)al2^c per yard now sell at UalOc per yard, and "Wheeling stogies," which could lie pur* chased in 'GO for $1 60 per 1,000, can not now lie bought for lew than $10 per 1,000. However, Uncle Sam considered the latter nrticle a luxury when ho much money was needed for the public service, and taxed it accordingly, very wisely, we think, discriminating a* much at possible in favor of the real necessities of life. The lax upon chewing tobacco ha* been correspondingly heavy, and thee who indulge in the weed now pay nearly five time* a* much for the luxnrv a* thev did inlSGO. There ha* been quite an important Recline in the price of men's clothing within the pant live yearn. As shown bv our figure*, a common cassitncre business suit, such as is worn on the street every day, oan now be had made to order, in the latest fashionable style, for $25, against $30 in lS70and$15in I860. The difference in the cost of liner clothing is till greater; a tine dress suit of the best ijuality in I860 cost but $30, in 1870 as high a* $75, and now from $45 to $60. As it may be Interesting to some of the youngsters of the present day to known just what their father* paid for clothing in 18C0, we will quote a few articles: frock coat (fine), $15; fine dress pants,$10; line vest, $3; sack coat (caasimere), $12; cassimere pantfl, $5; cheap pants, $3 50; common cassimere business suit, 5-15. Boots and shoes arc made much finer now than in 'GO, and their manufacture is much more expensive. In those halcyon days thet>ox-tocd boot hnd not yetuado its'ap|>earance, nnd the ladies wore very plain low-heeled shoes. There was no machine work then, all the sewing boing done by hand. Tliere was1 not eticfi a wide range in prices, either, the practical people preferring an article of durability and simplicity to one of style and finish. I The dealers generally keep on hand a few pairs of thu old-tiuic low-hecled shoes, I which are .sometimes inquired after by elderly ladies who ohooso to keep their feet comfortable, despite the dictates o/i Darno Fashion. Co'nsiderfng the differenco in the stylo of shoes worn then and now, and the "improved facilities for the manufacture of all classes of goods, our quotations will hardly show the changes in ths price during the past fifteen years. 1 Common "stogie" boots can even now Ikj bought in this city as lotfr as $2 50, but the average pjrico Is $-1 00.' Such boots, mado by hand; wore worth $3 50in 18G0. We quote this merely to show the impossibility of giving any figures by which the difference in the price of the same class of goods cau be shown. Of course tne prices of provisions and produce are influenced more or less by the supply. Potatoes were never plenticr than at this time, while tlje fruit in this section of the country was a total failure this season. The wjieat. was^ damaged this season by the heavy rains, whilo there was an abundant corn crop. It is no unusual thing to have a butter famine, and occasionally there is a threat scarcity of eggs and poultry. Therefore the prices of these articles are not always influenced by, the general hard time?C Groceries, However, wiui me single- uxccpiiuu u? sugar, arc Htill higher than before the war,', though a trille lower than five years ago. Tea now rates at 50ca ?1 00 per pound, against 50a7oc fifteen yearn ago; and coffee at 23ft25c against 15 al8c. Soap is nearly down to old rates again, selling at 8al0c per lb, against 8a 12Ac in '(JO. Beefsteak, in 18G0, was sold at SalOc per lb, and rft the present time sells at 12ia 15c. So it will be seen that that there is yet sonic distance to go before the minimum of ante-bellum days is reached. COMPARATIVE COST OF LIVING. We will now show, as far as possible, how much a man could buy with his wages in 1800 as compared with 1870 and 1870. Taking the amount of money earned in a week by each, we will undertake to show how much flour, bacon, coffee, potatoes and coal, which we take it are among the real necessities of life, can be purchased with the same: nKPOOBTIIE WAR. 77771"" CCCUMTIOX. i ! ; i I j liiiAjL Blacksmith i'? 12 a g 45 $a no Saddler 100 12 3 4 45 8 00 Bookbinder. 131 12 3 ? 45 10 00 Printer 131 12 3 *5 45 10 00 Photographer H?2 1'J 3 10 115 15 00 Confectioner 1C2 12 3 io 145 15 oo Br.cklnjw IK! 12 3 lu 14' 15 00 Stoiie-uuaon 131 21 3 8 4.', 12 00 PlaMcrrr 100 24 3 8 45 11 <K) (iiriH-ntcr 100 12 3 G 45 y 00 Painter 100 24 3 K 45 II 00 Plumber 100 12 3 G 45 0 00 Mncliinilt 100 12 3 (-. 45 li 00 Clerk 100 12 3 t 45 8 00 Bonk-kcejier 100 12 3 r. 45 'J 00 l.al>orer ..

The Reason "SVnw?EdUorn Intclliijcnccr' In your notice of Wagner's Minstrels, you say "the Opera House was not so full as it should havo been." 1 think that one reason why it was not is that our people are not so Hush that they can pay seventy-five cents for minstrel or ordinary entertainments.
