Business in fJuaucial circles this rnor
niaK was extremely quiet, with little an
imation in money circles; in fact, there
is nothing doing aside from the local
checking and depositing. Money is
easy and the banks readily discount all
first-class paper offering at910 $ cent.
$ annum; on the streets money is plen
tiful at 1 J2 cent. "P month. Brokers
are paying 109109i for gold, withlfght
transactions. Exchange is in light sup
ply; ou New York, Boston and Eastern
points buying at par and selling at lc
premium, and on New Orleans at c
discount. The rates between basks is
12 $1000. Scrips and bonds of every
description continue quiet and dull, with
little movement in the market and light
transactions.

ported unchanged, with prices loweV,
futures weak. Liverpool was steady;

Orleans was quoted quiet and un
changed; middling, 17c. The market
here was exceeding quiet. Holders of
fered freely, but buyers were not anx
ious to make purchases, owing to the
unsettled condition and weakness of the
foreign markets, and in consequence
transactions were of a limited character.
We learned of one or two small lists
changing hands. Ordinary, ll12c;

raer stage, with A feet water from Jack
sonport to the mouth. Arkansas river

that there is a considerable amount of
freieht there awaiting shipment to
points South. The Mary Miller waltzed
by Louisville without landing and missed
a fat take.
We learn that the City Council will, at
their meeting on Friday, pass a suitable
ordinance reducing the wharfage and
providing for a remunerative salary for
the wharfmaster. Tbis is as it should be
The passage of the ordinance for the
reduction of the wharfage should not be
delayed any longer. Commerce on the
Mississippi river especially is suffering
on account of the exorbitant and ruin
ous tax imposed upon boats by the city
governments of Memphis, Vicksburg,
New Orleans and other cities along the
river. This tax should not only be re
duced, hut abolished entirely. Memphis
as well as other cities and towns, is the
lnser bv this imposition. Large num
bers of steamboatmen are thrown out of
employment who would be at work were
it not for this embargo on river com
merce. The river trade helps all branches
of business. Steamboatmen, when at
work, command good wages which they
spend freely in every port they enter.
We trust our city authorities will prop
erly cousider this matter.
I ari-jring Bablee.
The Asiatic Indian woman carries her
h.ihv in a blanket hanging in front some
thing below the a-aist; the Beugalese
woman, with the child astride low down
upon ber left hip, and her left arm sup
porting its back. The figure seems quite
indifferent as to the ditliculties in tnis
style of carrying, which must be a highly
artistic performance 11 none so cievenj
in reality.
The Egyptian woman carries hers in a
aiatplv mnnner. the child sitting astride
her shoulder, with its bands upon her
head, and without any clothing to speak
of. . .
The Brazilian woman carries hers in a
somewhat similar manner, also in full
undress, it sitting astride her neck.
The Chinese baby is carried upright
upon the back, in a blanket; and the
South African in a hag in front, formed
by a blanket round the hips of the
mother.
The Lower Australian woman carries
hers by swinging it in a blanket over one
shoulder upon her back; while the North
Australian woman carries hers bound
upon a board, after the style of candy
models in confectionery stores.
The Lapland baby is carried in a
aledge-shaped cot, made of leather. It
seems to have been chucked in feet fore
most, and then a frame tied over the
opening for its face, whether to prevent
it from crawling ont, or to keep the dogs
from kissing it, is more than can be im
agined. The most unique style of all is that of
the Esquimaux woman, who wears wide,
hiith-toD boots, an 1 puts the baby, right-
end foremost, down in the outside of one
of them, and doubtless, according to Dr.
Kaue's description of her stvle, carrjing
her cooking and eating utensils in the
other.
The North Ameican woman carries
ber papoose strapped to a board, and
that strapped upon her back by a band
over the forehead.
An old cynic says: "With many
omen going to church is little better j
than looking into a bonnet shop."
It is said that in Paris, since the Met-teruich-Montebello
duel, before a lady
goes to a ball, the husband-whispers
nervously, " My dear, prny be civil to
Mr. Soand-so;' or, "Eugenie, for heav
en's sake, don't frown at Count Casko
whiski." The ladies, profiting by the
circumstance, induce their timid lords
to comply with all their wishes.
" Henri, if you don't buy me that bon
net, I'll insult M. TroisEtoiles and he's
a dead shot." " Uippolyte, if you don't
bring that diamond spray home this
oveoing, I'll call Baron Saussard a
fool."
The Adventists have named the day
