THE FUNNY CORNER
A" dying negro was told by his
minister that he must forgive a certain
darkey against whom he seemed to en
tertain very bitter feelings.
" Yes, yes, " he replied, " if I dies I
forgive dat nigga: but if I gets well dat
nigga must take car. "
A declamatory counsel, who des
pised all technicalities, and tried to
storm the court of the East India Com
pany by force of eloquence, was once ut
tering these words: "'In the book of
nature, my lords, it is written " when
he was stoped by this question from the
Chief Justice, Lord Ellenborough :
Will rn t Vo rrrrA yi oa c fr m r-i -
tion page, sir, if you please. "
Said an Irishman to the telegraph op
erator: " Do you ever charge anybody
tor the address in a message f .No re
replied the operator. " And do ye
charge for signing his .name sir? " said
the customer. " No, sir, " "Well, then
will ye please send this? I just want my
brother to know I am here, " handing
the following: " To John McFlinn
at New YorK (signed) Patrick
McFlinn. " It was sent as a tribute to
Patrick's shrewdness.
" Do you consider lager beer intoxica
ting?" "Vel, " replied W , "ash
for dat, I gant zay. 1 drinksh feefty or
seextv glasses a dav, and it never hurtsh
me; put I don't know how it mout pe if
a man vash to mako a hog of hisself. "
The Winstead Herald very cooly pub
lishes the following among its marriage
notices. How many unfortunate bridal
parties will see the point? " Married,
at the Methodist Church, in this village,
on Tuesday eveuinjr last, after a painful
ly protracted prayer by Kev. F. A. Spen
cer. if Terryville, Captain Charles L.
Hetseiortl and Miss flattie L. Pierce,
both of this place. "

That was my Father. A tall, gaunt
chap, verdant as the woods he came
from, once walked into P 's clothing
store, at Baton Rouge, and in a style of
tongue I can't embody in ink, asked one
of the clerks to let him have " a suit of
clothes on tick." Clerk, not feeling au
thorized to do anything of the kind, re
ferred him to P . Verdant, apply
ing, was asked his name, which was

idea striking him: - That was my fa
ther!" Mrs. Partington oir Watering Places.
" Are yoa going to any watering place
this summer?" asked a young friend of
Mrs. Partington on a rainy day lately.
She had just put up the window to keep
out the damp and disagreeable air, and
pulled her handkerchief more up over
her shoulder to keep off the chill.
" Watering places," she said, with a gen
tle tap of the cover of her box, at the
same time looking at Ike, who was en
gaged in making kite out of the last
Puritan Recorder, that the dame had
just laid by for her Sunday reading;
" watering places I don't think much of
now-a-days. There aint no need of
'em since the luckymotives have run off
the stages; but once as the old pumps
stood by the waysides under the ambigu
ous trees, with a hollow log for the cat
tle to drink out of, it seemed like a horse
in the desert, as some of em used
to
say.
My dear madam," said her
young inend, I mean the fashionable
watering places whereeople go to spend
the summer." " Oh," she replied, "that's
it, is it? Well, we needn't go away from
home to find a watering place to-day;
and them that do, depend upon it "
here she laid her mouth close to his ear
and spoke in a whisper " they mo for
something else besides the water !" She
gave him a queer look as she said this,
and pointed significantly to the little
buffet in the corner, where an old-fashioned
cut-glass decanter stood surround
ed by a dozen little glasses, as if they
were young decanters just hatched out,
bnt what she meant we dare not attempt
to explain. Ike just then finished his
kite by burning the holes for the " belly
band " with the small point of Mrs. Par
tington's scissors that had been heated
red-hot for that purpose.

Financial and Commercial Summary
for the Past Week.
It is charged in the New Tork papers
that the advance in gold was the result
of a plot concocted by a company of
capitalists, and not the consequence of
any alarm regarding disasters to the
Government It is stated that an amount
of gold was contributed equal to about
four millions of dollars, and about the
half of it shipped to England, and the
remaining half kept at home, the inten
tion being to draw against the amount
shipped, as soon as gold would advance.
The large purchase of gold in the first
place, and the large shipment in the sec
ond place, was well calculated, under ex
isting circumstances, tney knew, to ex
cite the market and nut up prices, and
they were correct If this be true, and
it has been stated with great positivoness
by the New York papers, the rascals en
gaged are guilty of combining to injure
the credit of the Government, and ought
to be hanged. It is stated that, in order
to avoid suspicion, they managed to have
the gold shipped by regular houses. It
is possible that the whole story may be
untrue, but it looks plausible. It is well
known that the balance of trade is now,
and has been for 6ome time, against this
country. During the month of Septem
ler it took over three1 millions of dollars
to make up the balance at New York
alone, which, however, 13 the chief port,
and the defu-. ncv the current month
will l-,e vastly greater, so that aside from
the war causes we may look for a high
gold premium, unless some change should
take place to turn the balance of trade
in our favor. As soon as our farmers
shall learn that the present high prices
of domestic produce cannot be sustained,
and that the failure of the corn crop is
not so bad and so general as is supposed,
prices of produce will come down to an
export point, and this evil will be reme
died to a great extent. We will have as
much pork and lard .to spare to ship to
Europe as there was last season, and
have enough left for home consumption,
notwithstanding tnat there win be a fall
nig on in the crop this season as com
pared with last. There is also an im
mense surplus of wheat, and all will be
taken if prices suit Of this there can
be no doubt, even though unusually large
crops have been gathered in England
and elsewhere.
The fluctuations in gold, durinir the
week have been frequent, and large; at
one time it wa3 down to 148 in New
lorK, but quickly advanced to 151. On
.1. i
our
market the
-.i ...... t""- Kuia, as
xn our maruet t ip r.r,n i ,
uouai, uuuuaieu in response to ttv, n.,
York market, with a general disposition
on the part of outsiders to sell, and there
was therefore, an unusually large amount
bought by the dealers. The supply of
Exchange was largely increased, heavy
amounts having been sent herefrom Chi
cago, Cleveland and Toledo, and then
the heavy amount drawn against the
shipments of Government cotton sold
here on Monday. All have swelled the
amount beyond what had been anticipa
ted, and the market was extremely dull
at the close, and dealers were selling at
five-twentieth of one percent prem., and
refusing to buy at par, exeept from regu
lar customers. We quote the selling
rates at l-5l-100th prem.
Currency has become quite close, and
there was a good deal of inconvenience
experienced yesterday in consequence.
The large amount paid to the Govern
ment for the cotton sold, and which
went out of circulation, tended largely
to this scarcity, as the whole amount
of cotton sold was closely up to 3,000
bales, the proceed of which were not far
from $000,000.
Flour and wheat have been very dull,
and prices are lower. Corn and oats
ruled a shade easier, but have been in
fair demand at our quotations. Rye in
demand and firm.
Hardly a word said about hogs; the
ideas of feeders are so high that packers
or jobbers have settled down to the con
clusion that there is no use in attempt
ing to make contracts. Indeed, at over
$5 packers generally think it hazardous
to enter into any engagements. Very
little preparation making to pack for the
foreign market which is in striking con
trast to the state of things existing at
this time a year ago, the truth is, except
ing to a limited extent, the present prices
asked for hogs preclude the possibility of
shipping pork to any market in Europe,
and this is the general opinion. The
corn, wrncn was cut off by the August
frost, will be fed to hoss or cattle. and
i- i , -
mah.e iair pork; no otner disposition can
be made of it than this, so that the price
of merchantable corn cannot influence
the result; and as stock hogs are unusu
ally abundant throughout the West, and
in good condition, they will be brought
to market from the districts where the
corn is most injured, but fatted better
than is expected. It is inconsistent to
suppose that because as great a number
of hogs may not be brought than was
last season, there is to be a scarcity of
pork, and this, too, in the face of the
fact when there is the product of half an
ordinary hog crop of last season's meat
on hand. The grocery market is fair
but tjuiet There is a fair jobbing de

it is riging more rapidly.
The Cumberland and the Tennessee
are at a good stage for boating purposes,
and the Lower Ohio, below these rivers,
is in fine order.
The weather continues cool, and very
pleasant and dry.
Business is very brisk in the Govern
ment; but little else is doing. The fact
is, Government has monopolized nine
tenths of the tonnage for military pur
poses; that is, to supply the armies of
the Union with forago and other sup-
nliea. which those armies are linnnd to
have if every boat, without exception,
snouiu lie required ior me purpose.
The Cumberland is fbrtiuaatrdv injoni.
made the most of while it remains up,
and consequently, it will be dotted all
over with steamers principally stern
wheelers from this port, loaded to their
utmost capacity with grain, &c, for
Chattanooga and elsewhere.
We learn that a dozen or so steamers,
laid up at Cairo, have been called to
this port, by telegrapi, to load immedi
atelv for the Cumberland.
Whenever the Ohio at Cincinnati,
Pittsburg and points below shall rise
sufficiently, the beautiful exhibition will
be seen, of somewhere about one hnn
dred steamers bound down that river for
St Louis, coming hither tog into active
service in the trade that will appear the
most suitable. Most of them will go
South, in Government service or on pri
vate expeditions. We presume there
will be sufficient business for alL In the
meantime, there are, perhaps, not half a
dozen boats above Louisville light enough
to carry any freight to the mouth of the
Cumberland. Owing to this fact, nearly
all army supplies have to be purchased
here, and shipped from this point
Pilots are a class of men singularly
useful to society, and their services are
invaluable to the Government The
Government has many of them constant
ly in exclusive service, and can easilv
get more whenever in want of them
The process . for procuring them has
lately been reduced to a simple science.
Admiral Porter, a few days since, sent to
General Schofield, from the Lower Mis
sissippi, requesting him to send down six
pilots for gunboat service. The names
of all the unemployed pilots, written on
sl.ps, were put in a box, and a boy was
directed to draw out six names. The
following gentlemen, and one more
whose name we did not learn, got prizes:
Geo. Cayton, John Way, Bill Munday,
Jim Russell and Geo. Kobirds. This is
called drafting pilots. Dave Hiner
brought the megsage from the Admiral.
Cayton hired Ben. McMann to take his
place, which he promised to rln in a fo-ar
days. The pay to pilots in Governmeni
service, is f250 per month. It is hinted
that all the names will be drafted from
on all future occasions.
The favorite May Duke arrived at 4
