NEW YORK, D110. Stat, 1878.
Busmxss
is horribly dull, and will continue so till the
weather changes. Reports from all over the
country show a fearful condition of things.
Mud is too deep for farmers to get to any
town, consequently there is no produce being
marketed, and no goods sold. The stocks are
all on hand, and there are no goods being
bought in New York. I saw one letter from
an Illinois town, which said that the few peo-
ple who came to town came on mud-boats,
and that the mud was so thin that navigation
of ordinary country roads in skills was not
uncommon. The corn is sprouting in the
(ribs, and farmers are suffering for the money
they ought to have for produce that they can-
not get. to market.
I AS UGLY FAILURE.
The house of Netter & CO , brokers, went
under last week,for something over $400,000,
assets next to nothing. High living is the
cause of it. The brothers—there were two
of them-—kepi splendid horses, rich cottages
at Long Branch and Newport, and indulged
in all sorts of extravagance, which was very
pleasant as long as it lasted. But they could
not. keep it up, e‘pecially as they met with
some rather heavy losses; and so one fine
morning they went up, and stepped down
and out.
'rns vaxni-znnnxr case
has got to be the most amusing thing in the
city. Cornelius, on the stand, gives the spec-
tators a most enjoyable treat every day. He
goes into the inside of the Vanderbilt family
with utter recklessness, and shows up their
short comings with jelly abandon. He has
shown beyond a peradventurc, that if Wil-
liam did not actually conspire against him,
he did come as near to it as he could. It is
also shown that he, himself, spent money
very freely, expecting his father to pay it.
For instance, he owed Horace Greeley at one
time, as much as $70,000, and a great many
others large sums. But there was nothing
singular in it. IIis father was the richest
man in America, and one of the richest in the
world, and he naturally expected a sufficient
sum to live about as be pleased. He was ter-
ribly disappointed, however; for by some in-
iuence. which it is supposed this trial will
bring out, the old gentleman cut him off with
a beggarly sum, which William H. shows no
disposition to increase. It is a nasty piece of
business, and does no one connected with it
much credit. '
This, Tanrsnxxcs Ram
goes on with the most happy effect. The
rum mills are shut up very generally week-
days, and entirely on Sundays. Last Sunday
a drop of liquor could not be had, except by
those who were very well known to the bars;
and then it was with difficulty, for the 0111
ccrs kept a very strict watch upon side en-
trances and back doors. The Tammany pec-
pic, alarmed at the stoppage of the rum traf-
tie, and its consequent loss of power, de-
manded of Mayor Ely the removal of the
Board that was bold enough to attack the
principal ally of Tammany Hall, and the
31:13:01- conscnted. But alas! there is such a
thing as public sentiment in New York,
albeit it is slow of expression and not easily
aroused. But the fact that arrests for drunken-
ness decreaSed a half, and that brutal crime
almost entirely disappeared, was enough to
show the good citizens the value of the ser-
vices of the Police Board, and they deter-
mined to sustain them against the Mayor.
Fir. Ely, who is really a good man, was very
willing to accept almost any excuse to _retain
ih n, and the chase is given up. The P0-
lice Board will not be removed, and the war
against the rum interest will go on. Speak-
' - " lice Board, the Excise Com-
? . -t in overly good odor. The
:T or murmur,
one o. _ with $50,000 of its money
was :1 severe blow to Tammany Hall, whose
especial pet he was, and for whom the fight
on the Police Board was made. Mur-
phy had speculated and lost, and had lived in
the regular style of a Tammany politician.
lie could not. make his accounts balance, and
st. he took all there was left, and got away
with it. It was a clean steal, and the money
(an n :ver be recovered. He is in Canada,
and presumably comfortable. His wife in-
sists that. he has not run away at all, but that
in: is in the city, under cover till he can turn
things to square tip. But he has been seen
in (I‘anada, and will stay there in safety, till
thr- (-i:y gets ready to settle with him.
run WEATHER
is preternaturally pleasant. The (lays come
and go like June days ;—-there has been no
rain, no frost, no nothing that is disagreeable,
eyecpt the monotony of continued fine
weather when it ought to be bad. The poor
enjoy it,for it does away with the necessity of
much clothing and fuel. It is the most sin-
gular season that has been known fora half-
century. Pmrno.
L'nited States Senator-elect Farley, of Cali-
i‘ornia, is a Virginian by birth; was a Whig
in early life; was :1 Know Nothing subse
quently ; has been a Democrat recently; is a
poor speaker and a huge man. When he was
about to leave the position of Speaker of the
California Assembly, he procured a friend to
write him a fine valedictory. This friend co.
pied the valedictory of the previous speaker,
and Farley declaimed it. On the morning
after the two valedictories appeared side by
side in the newspapers. He has business
t rot and once received aibrokenleg from some
one‘s husband.

Decisions in the Insurance Com-
missioner’s suits against Ben
Noyes.
The Times gave on Wednesday a brief
summary of the principal points,pro and con,
made in the aiguments presented before the
supreme court of errors, at New Haven, in
reference to the suits brought by John W.
Stedman,the Insurance Commissioner,against
Ben Noyes, president of the American Na-
tional Life and Trust Company, and the
American Mutual Life Insurance Company,
which two companies have been merged into
the National Capitol Life Insurance Company
of Washington. Counsel for Noyes demur-
red to the application of the commissioner
for the appointment of a receiver, because of
the merging of the companies into the Na-
tional Capitol, as well as upon other ground.
Chief-Justice Park gave a decision in the
case, deciding that the replication of counsel
for the commission to the demurrer of Noyes's
counsel is sutlicient,and the case will be tried
upon its merits, in the superior court in Jan-
nary.
Mr. Stedman‘s counsel has also tiled, in the
probate court, a petition to settle the proper-
ty of the National Capital Company, in Con-
necticut, as an insolvent estate. The com-
missioner also tiled in the superior court a
petition, the prayer of which has been grant-
ed by J udgc Park, to temporarily enjoin the
National Capitol Company from receiving
premiums from the holders of policies in the
old companies (the American National Life
and Trust and the American Mutual Life.)
The injunction issued in answer to this re-
quest of the commissioner is to remain in
force during the pendency of the proceedings
in the probate court; and no policy in either
of the old companies can lapse, in conse-
quence of the non-payment of premiums,
until the decision is reached in the probate
court in reference to the commissioner’s pe-
tition. The appointment of a trustee was
asked for on the ground that the National
Capitol company neglected to pay a death-
loss ot $13,000 in August last. The company
is also enjoined front collecting rent from the
tenants of the insurance building, on Chapel
street, New Haven, except such an amount
as will enable the company to pay the ground
rent due to the Trinity church corporation.
It is claimed that the non-payment of ground
rent to the church corporation would, under
the terms of the lease of the ground to the
insurance company, cause the latter to lose
the right of property in the building.

“ Worst Act of Partisansliip.”
The seating of Patterson, of Colorado, is
the worst act of partisanship which even this
bitterly and recklessly partisan House has
been guilty of. He has not even the shadow
of a claim to the seat. There was an undis-
puted majority of two thousand against him.
If Belford’s title was defective, which is ser-
iously doubted, the most that the House
could fairly do was to declare that there was
no election. But a party which secures seats
in Congress by assassination cannot be ex-
pected to hesitate at lesser crimes.——Portland
Press.

Imagine It.
We may well imagine the tranquility and
peace that reign where over one hundred thou-
sand voters are practically disfranchised from
fear of bodily harm and other violent demon-
strations. The roseate picture from the Pres-
ident‘s pen needed only the touch of Nast‘s
crayon in the cartoon of the Democratic tiger
and the Republican lamb lying down togeth-
er, to meke its uniqueness complete. The
late election in Georgia fully sustains the an-
atomical correctness of Nast's location of the
lamb—Hawkeyc.
Warning to Young Husbands.
A young wife in Micigan had just got set
tled in her new home. All seemed fair and
promising, for she did not know that her hus-
band was a drunkard. But one night he came
home at a very late hour and much the worse
for liquor, When he staggered into the house
the wife, who was greatly shocked, told him
he was sick and to lie down at, once, and in a
moment or two he was comfortably settled
on a sofa in a drunken sleep. His face was
reddish purple, his breathing was heavy, ll'ld
altogether he was a pitiable looking object.
The doctor was sent for post-haste and mus-
tard applied to his feet and_hands, When the
doctor came and felt his pulse and examined
him and found that he was only drunk, he
said:
“He will be all right in the morning.”
But his wife insisted that he was very sick,
and that severe remedies must be used.
“You must shave his head and apply blis-
ters,” she urged, “or I will send for some one
who will.” I
The husband’s head was accordingly shaved
closely and blisters applied.
The patient lay all night in a drunken
sleep, and notwithstanding the blisters were
eating into his flesh, and it. was not till near
morning that. he began to beat about disturbed
by pain.
About daylight lie woke up to the most
uncomfortable consciousness of blistering ag-
onies.
"What does this mean he said, putting
his hands to his bandaged head.
“ Lie still—you niusn‘t stir," said the wife.
“You have been very sick.”
“ I am not sick.”
“Oh, yes you are; you have the brain
fever. We have worked with you all night.”
“I should think you had,” groaned tbepoor
victim. “What‘s the matter with my feet ?”
“ They are blisteret .”
“ life“, I’m better now; take off the blis‘
ters—do," he pleaded pitconsly.
lle was in a most uncomfortable state—his
head cavered with sores, and his feet and
hands were still worse.
“ Dear,” he said, groaning, “if I should
ever get sick in this way again, don’t be
alarmed and send for the doctor. and, above
all, don‘t blister me again." -
“Oh, indeed I will; all that saved you
was the blisters, and if you have auoélicr
such a spell I should be more frightened than
ever; for the tendency, I am sure, is to apo-
plexy, and from the next attack you will be
likely todie unless there are the severest meas-
ures used.”
He made no further defense. Suffice it to
say he never had another tittiiclt.~~f'lu'w_lgo

The duelist is no longer a hero, but a inur-

are not men of courage, for we have learned
that they only solicit such men to quarrel as
have no reputation for personal prowess.—

A new Pompeii has been discovered in
Italy. At the foot of Mount Gargano 11 bur.
led town has been laid bare, the houses being
twenty feet below the surface. A temple of
Diana was first brought to light, then a porti-
co composed of columns without capitals,
and, finally, a necropolis covering nearly four
acres. The Italian government has taken
measures to continue the excavations on a
large scale, and has already discovered a
monument erected in honor of Pompey after
his victory over the pirates. The town is the
ancient Sipontnm, of which Strabo and Livy
speak, and which was buried by an earth-
quake.

Warm weather in winter is not, of itself,
unhealthy, the physicians say, but it induces
carelessness and exposure from which sick-

danger of dying of an open December than
from a hot J one. The careless man is al-
ways in danger.—Boston Herald.

Old VllIan Gram.
In little Gram Court lives old man Gram,
Tl... PD‘TJA'H" .r u , I.
W
Eager . ,.
Ashe .nz. _.., ... -
At a wriggling, rickety pace,
Brisk octogenarian's pace.
He rattles his stick at my heels, and brags,
As he comes shuflling along the flags——
Brags of his riches and brags of his rags,
Much work and little play.
“You see where I am,” says old man Gram--
“You see where I am today.
“I came to town at twelve years old,
With a shilling in this ’ere pocket"—
You should see him chuckle and knock it!
"This town to me was a big stout chest,
With fortunes locked in the till; but. I guessed
A silver key would unlock it—
My little key would unlock it.
1 found in a rag-shop kept by a Jew
A place to sleep and a job to do,
And managed to make my shilling two ;
And that’s always been my way.
Now see where I am,” says old man Gram—
“Now see where I am to-day!”
In his den atop of the butcher's shop
He lies in his lair of husks,
And sups on gruels and rusks,
And a bone now and then to pick and gnaw
, With hardlv a tooth in his tone-h Old jaw.
“Two, uvululus in. rents, in: has lived alone,
Until, like a hungry wolf, he has grown
Gaunt and shaggy and gray.
“You see where I am’” growled old man Gram
As I looked in today.
‘-I might have a wife to make my broth,
\‘v'hich would be convenient—rather!
And younkers to call me father.
But a wife would be after my chink,you see;
And bantlings for them that like !” snarls he
“I neverjwould have the bother——
They’re an awful expense and bother!
I went to propose at fifty-four,
But stopped_as I raised my hand to the door:
"I‘o think of a dozen brats or more 1‘
Says I, and turned away.
Now see where I am,” brags old man Gram—
“Only see where I am to—day!
“I had once a niece, who came to town
As poor as any church mousef;
She wanted to keep my house.
‘Tut! I have no house to keep ; go back.’
I gave her a dollar and_told her to pack;
At which she made such a touse—
You never didgseesueh a louse!
Whole rows ofghouses were; mine, she Said;
I had more bank shares than hairs in my head,
And gold like so much iron or lead—
All which I couldn‘t gainsay.
Men see where Lam,” grins old man Gram—
“They see where I am today.
“But if there is any thing I detest,
And for which I have no occasion, -
Sir, its a poorrelation.
They’re always plenty and always in need;
Take one, and soon you’ll have to feed
Just about half the nation—
They’ll swarm from all over the nation !
And I have a rule, though it’s nothing new—
’Tis one that I learned from my friend the Jew;
Whatever I fancy. whatever I do.
I .15 'i'\ 3‘. . ‘
The little boys dread his coming tread,
They are pale as he passes by,
And the sauciest curs are shy,
His stick is so thick and he looks so grim ;
Not even abeggar will beg of him;
You should hear him mention why !-
There’s a very good reason why.
The poor he hates, and he hasn't a friend,
And none but a fool will give or lend;
“For only begin there’ll be no end——
That’s what I always say.
Now see where I am,” crows old man Grani—
“Just see where I am today!”
His miserly gain is the harypst grain;
All the rest is chaff and stubble;
And the life beyond is a bubble.
We are as the beasts ; and he thinks, on the
whole,
’I‘is quite as well that he has no soul.
For that might give him trouble—
Might give him a deal of trouble.
The long and short of the old man’s creed
Is to live for himself andto feed his greed.
The world is a ver ' good world indeed,
If only a chap might stay:
“Only stay where I am,” whines old man
Grain—
“Stay just where I am tc-day !"

Horne Tooke, on a certain occasion, chal-
lenged Wilkes, he being at the time Sheriff of
London ahd Middlesex, when the most auda-
cious individual that ever lived )of course we
mean Tookc), received from Wilkes the fol-
lowing rather siguifieant reply; “I do not
think it my business to cut the throat of
every desperado that may be tired of hislife;
but, as I am at present High Sheriff of the
City of London, it may happen that I shall
shortly have an Opportunity of attending you
in my official capacity, in which case 1 will
answer for it that you shall have no ground to
complain of my endeavors to serve you.”
PATIENCE.—Life has such hard conditions
that every dear and precious gift, every rare
virtue, every genial endowment, love, hope,
joy wit, sprightliness, benevolence, must.
sometimes be put into the crucible to distill
the one elixir—patience—G'm'l Hamilton.
‘ “You inust have been drinking strong
coffee,” remarked a billiard player to his
opponent whose hand trembled. “No, but
I’ve been using considerable chalk o’laie," re-
plied the other, as he caromed on both reds
and went out—N. Y. Commercial.
Kate Field remarks, “The best friends 1
have in the world are American men, and if I
have not married one it is because I love too
many of them. American men, at home and
abroad, are the finest fellows I know."
Very excellent woman this Kate Field.
Nice fellow basalt—Rochester Democrat.
A little five.year old came up to his mother
and said. “Mother, I saw something run
across the kitchen floor this morning, and it
hadn’t any legs either; what do you suppose
it was F” The mother said she supposed it
was a worm or something of that sort. Fin-
ally she gave it up, and the youngster calmly
said, “It was some water.’
It was at a charity ball; the girl was pretty
and exquisitely dressed. She said: “Now,
Mf- -——. don't you‘ll“t my name in the
paper, nor tell what I had on. 1 have worn
this dress once before, and it’s horribly old.
I was going to have a French dress from
Worth's, but it didn’t get here. so I had to
wear this. Now mind, don’t put my name
in the paper, but, if you do, send me six."
A San Francisco four-year-old was observ.
ed making queer movements with his elbow.
His aunt asked him what he was doing.
“Crooking my elbow," said precious. “But
what are you cracking your elbow for,
Johnny?” “'Cause I want to (let a nice
strawberry -on my nose.” - “’But that wont
make a strawberry, Johnny.” “Yes, it will,
for the cook says papa wouldn‘t have the big
strawberry on liis'no'se if he didn’t crook his
so often.”
