SA V ANN AH MARKET.
WEEKLY REPORT.
e: office of the morning news j
Savannah. April 12, Ixß4. i
General Remarks.—The situation in the
genera! market during the past week is sub
stantially unchanged from that of the pre
vious week. It has been very dull. Business
had a holiday look except in the early por
tion of the week, hen the excited state of the
Western grain and meat market tended to
relieve the monotony. The demand in pretty
nearly all departments has continued very
moderate, save in the case of a few lines of
staple Articles, in which, as a rule, there is al
ways a steady movement.
Buyers are still pursuing a conservative
jH.iicv of purchasing only small assortments
to meet the actual requirements of business,
an l there is nothing in the general outlook
1-. warrant any other course. Values have
continued quite steady, except for meats,
which havi advanced, while flour and grain
have d-dined. Money is very easy and un
< oig. 1. s .rarities are still in good request,
but there is no special activity. The condi
i , l of the different markets, together with
quotations, may lie noted by reference to
another column.
Naval Stores.—The market for spirits
turpentine was unsettled ami irregular dur
■■■£ tlie week, but prices have advanced 2c.
The inquiry as a whole was very light. The
-ales for the week were about TOO casks.
Rosins—there has lieen but a small business
doing. The market has been comparatively
dull, except for the lower grades, which show
a -light advance. The safes have been about
8.500 barrel-. In another column will be
found a comparative table of receipts and
exports for this and last year, showing the
■stock Oil hand and on shipboard, not clearest,
together with the official closing quotations.
Cotton.—Brices continue to improve, but
the inquiry is light and business for the week
small. This is caused by the scarcity of the
desirable grade.-. The offering stock is en
tirely too light to admit of any extensive
trad in--. Receipts continue to decrease daily.
Prices at the close showed an advance of %o.
all round, with the market entirely nominal.
The total sales for the week foot up onlv
1,373 bales. The following resume of the

The stock market was weak during the
greater part of the day. The announcement
that the coal companies had ngwed on a

denied, hut the Wabash stocks nevertheless

Tlie weekly statement of the associated
banks, issued from the clearing house to-day,
shows the following changes: Loans in
creased $820,500: specie increased $1,914,800;
legal tenders decreased $2,405,700; deposits
increased $383,000: circulation increased
$52,300; reserve decreased $587,450. The
banks now hold $3,617,425 in excess of legal ]
requirements.
The Post'* report says: “The bank state- j
incut was something of a surprise. It was 1
anticipated that, owing to large exports of j
specie at close of last week, the surplus re
serve of the banks would be extinguished; in 1
fact, it is known that in anticipation of this,
some hanks were calling in part of their loans
in the middle of this week. The statement of
averages, however, indicates that there lias,
on the other hand, been an increase of loans
from some special cause, which has offset this
contraction. The increase of specie in the
banks isexplanable by the fact that the Sub-
Treasury lias paid out nearly $7,000,000 of the
April interest 011 4 per cents since April 1.”

A Good Story ot Tewiik.
London Atheneum.
The Khedive of Egypt always used to
rise early, and generally began his read
ing of official reports at fi o’clock a. in.;
but one morning, during the recent siege,
he had slipped out into the garden of
Ghezireh at sunrise, and was returning to
the palace, when he was stopped by a
sentry. “Yer can’t go in ’ere ; yer know,”
said the English soldier ? with good na
tured contempt for the ignorance of an
evident “furriner.” “But I belong to the
palace,” said the Khedive in his hesita
ting English. “Obi do yer?—well, what
sort of a place ’ave yer got?” “Very
good.” “Ah! tine times, I s’pose; noth
ing to do and plenty to .eat, from the look
of yer. Wouldn’t mind serving this chap
mvself, if ’e’d give me 6 shillings a day.
AVhatsort of a feller is be?” Just then
the Sergeant coming round saluted the
Khedive, who passed in, to the horror of
the sentry, now recognizing his mistake.
The Colonel, getting to hear of the acci
dent, thought it necessary to offer an
apology to the Khedive, who, however,
was delighted# and told the story at least
twice a day for a month. Ismail would

“ldW m T l ' r r,m °" e
of the Pioneers of b.’ mm ‘ co ““tr, Ohio,
who died recently at the . a^e °.,
Early in 1826 Viers and his . received
to their cabin in Northfield To. , ns hip an
Englishman named Rupert Charles worth. |
He was a jolly iellow, Avith plenty Of |
money, and he became very popular in t.he j
neighborhood. Suddenly ho dropped out
of sight. He was known to have gone to
Viers’ cabiir the nigbtof July 23, but the
constable who went there early the next
morning to arrest him for passing coun
terfeit money could not find him.
One day, a good while after, a hunter
found a human skeleton under a log in the
woods near Viers’ farm. The discovery
helped to jog the memory of a man who
bad heard a ritle report at Viers* cabin
the night of Charlesworth’s disappear
ance. Another suddenly rememliered that
he had seen blood on the bars in Viers'
lane, near the woods. Viers was ques
tioned. At one time he said that the Eng
lishman had jumped from a Avindow and
ran away; at another time he said he
knew nothing about the man’s departure,
as he was asleep at the time. The consta
ble who had gone early in the morning to
Viers’ cabin to arrest Charlesworth, re
membered that at that unusual hour Mrs.
Viers was mopping the tloor. For five
years the gossips talked, but nothing was
done. Finally, January 8, 1831, Viers
was arrested on a charge ot murdering
Rupert Charlesworth. The hearing AA’as
belore George Y. Wallace, Justice of the
Peace, and for seA'euteen davs the rude
court room was crowded with witnesses
and listeners from miles around.
Circumstances were as plentiful as
blackberries pointing to Viers as the mur
derer of bis boarder. Statements that had
not been beard before were adduced in
testimony. A hired girl who was working
at Viers' cabin when Charlesworth dis
appeared said that a bed blanket used by
the Englishman was missing the morning
he left, and that it was afterward found
concealed under a haystack rvith large
spots on It resembling clotted blood. A
dozen neighbors testified to Charlesworth’s
reputed wealth, and others told of the
sudden evidences of prosperity that had
been seen about Viers’ premises in the
shape of anew house and in the purchase
of some blooded stock. Viers and his
pioneer wile grew sick at the prospect.
Rut an unexpected delh'erance came in
the last two days. Two men from North
west Ohio took the stand and gave posi
tive evidence that they had seen Charles
worth subsequent to his disappearance
from Northfield. This turned the scale in
Viers* favor, aud he was discharged.
Threc-tourths of the community still be
lieved, however, that Y iers was a mur
derer. So great was the excitement fol
lowing his discharge that lynch law was
proposed, but the material to carry out
such a scheme couldn’t be found among
the church-going Northfielders. Viers de
termined to live down the story on the
ground from which it had sprung. Hut
he resolved to find the man whose blood
had been laid at his door if lie had to de
vote his life to the search. In the next
few years Mrs. Viers wrote hundreds of
letters to public officers and others in all
parts of the country. Viers finally started
out on his apparently hopeless quest. Fol
lowing the clue given him by the two wit
nesses who had saved him at the trial, he
traced his man from town to town in the
AVest, and finally learned that Charles
worth had returned to England. To Eng
land went the resolute searcher, only to
find that Charlesworth had re-embarked
for the United States, with New Orleans
as his destination. Back came Viers and
Avent straight to New Orleans,but Charles
worth was not there. Y'iers iollowed up
the river, visiting every town up to Cin
cinnati.
Thus the search was kept up by letter
and travel for nine years, till in 1840 Viers
entered a tavern in Detroit and asked if
any there had knowledge ol one Rupert
Charlesworth, an Englishman. A man,
bearded and rough, drew him aside as he
left the place and revealed himself as the
long-sought-for man. His story was
quickly told. Having passed a counter
feit bifl on a citizen and fearing arrest,
he had secretly left the house of his friend
and gone West under an assumed name.
lie agreed to go to Ohio and show him
self to his old cronies on condition that
his present place of residence should be
tent secret. So, fourteen years after the
alleged tragedy, Rupert Charlesworth and
his reputed murderer vio.toj Northfield
Boston, Akron and other points iu Sum!
uiit county. The Englishman conversed
with a large number of persons, and was
recognized by them. In a few days he re
turned to Michigan.
No sooner had he gone, however, than
the story went around that the man was
not Rupert Charlesworth, but a cousin re
sembling him closely, whom Viers had
hired to serve his end. This story was in
dustriously circulated by Y'iers’ enemies,
and was believed by many. Y'iers was
almost sick of life. He found that his vin
dication was not yet accepted, so, two
years later, in 1842, be went to Michigan
again and brought Charlesworth back
with him to Ohio. He put up handbills
in Northfield, Boston and adjoining town
ships, stating that a certain day Rupert
Charlesworth would exhibit himself at
one of the churches, and all persons who
had known him were invited to be present.
The meeting attracted a great crowd.
Charlesworth took the platform, from
which through the day he responded to
interrogatories. The examination was
chiefly conducted by one of the shrewdest
attorneys at the bar'of Akron. Not only
did Charlesworth readily recognize and
name persons lie had not seen for sixteen
years, but he related incidents known only
to individual questioners and himself. He
refreshed the memory of an old farmer
with regard to a spree in which they had
been partners, recalling the curious cir
cumstance of their having boiled their
whisky. Late in the afternoon a vote was
taken as to whether the man before them
was Rupert Charlesworth. The audience
affirmed with one voice that that man
stood before them. The reputation of Dor
sey Y'iers was fully vindicated.
His nine years’ search had impover
ished him, but he afterward amassed a
competence, and his last years were
passed in comfort and peace.
THE I’RINCE OF WAKES. ’
The Spendthrift’s Debts, Inventions and
Frolic*.
Once more arises the sorry rumor of the
Prince of Wales’ debt, says a Loudon cor
respondent of the New Y'ork Tribune.
Many of his friends are, owing to agricul
tural depression, not so well off as they
were, and stand aghast at the pros pect of
not seeing their money for years, if ever.
Should any harm befall “Tum-Tum,” as
be is called, every shilling of some £200,-
000 would be lost. If the Queen, who is
worth nearly £2,000,000 ot private dis
posable property, will not pay “Turn-
Turn’s” debts while he is living, most as
suredly she would not pay them after his
death." Any appeal to the country would
be received with derision, not because
the Prince is unpopular, but because his
mother’s habit of hoarding up the money
paid her for frais de representation has
made her so. The country paid a great deal
for George IV. when Prince Kegent, and
Charles Gfeville has told 'the world all
about the scampish royal dukes. But
George IV., before he “from earth de
scended,” as Landor’sepigramme puts it,
earned the love of all the barbers
and tailors in the United Kingdom
by his remarkable inventions. He in
vented three important articles of male
costume. Firstly, the wig, without
which his sacred majesty was never seen
except by his pages, the widow of one of
whom, Lady Knighton, died only the
other day. Wigs resembling the King's
were worn late into our fathers’ tune by
the Waterloo veterans, who also wore, I
am told, the froggea “surtout” with
braid and fur upon it, also invented by
the monarch. His third grand idea was
the high and stiff shirt collar which com
pletely superseded the limp muslin
cravat one see3 in pictures by
Gainsboro and in the earlier per
iod of Lawrence. Now the Prince of
Wales can hardly claim to have invented
anything but luxurious hot lunches at
shooting-parties, which he has clearly
brought into fashion. But he is a bene
factor of his race as a revivalist. He has
distinctly revived suppers and pumps.
Both were completely out of date when
he commenced his career as a leader of
fashion. Now we sup gloriously, ana
those of a gouty tendency fervently mur
mur, “God bless the Prince of YVales,” as
they look at their smart and comfortable
pumps and silk stockings.
The manufacture of needles and pins
constitutes one of the most flourishing in
dustries in Germany. The eight manu
factories of Iserlohn alone consumed, in
1882, no less than 600 tons of wire, em
ploying also a working force of some 800
male and 700 female and juvenile opera
tives, besides seven steam engines aud
1 four water-wheels of 280 horse-power.

fem is carried on under circumstances of
vuLuiunutlilUb Ol
suc-b aggravating cruelty. A London
drawl. Jg-room in the reign of Queen Vic
toria is. when carefully considered, as
* discreditable and inhuman a spectacle as
can be conceived; and, thougn the evils
attendant ok the institution have been
pointed out ov.er and over again, though
they must .be perfectly familiar
to the court authorities, to the court
advisers and to the Folonius of
the period, yet things go on in the
same stereotyped jog-trot system, and no
steps whatever are taken to protect loyal
subjects from the frequent discourtesies
and many insults to which they are sub
jected. AVith scant consideration for
comfort, or even decency, the principal
drawing rooms of the season are fixed at a.
time of year when the weather is most
treacherous, aud those who attend them
are compelled to appear in a costume
quite out of character with a ceremony
that is to take place at davlight. Take
the case of a delicate young girl—or, in
deed, of any ordinary fragile beauty tvho
desires to pay her respects to Her
Majesty, or to the chosen representative
of Her Majesty, at one of the first London
drawing-rooms. It is March weather—
the fiercest, most uucannv and treacher
ous season of the year.
ON PUBLIC VIEAA .
“In this weather women accustomed
to cloak and clothe themselA'es in wraps
and furs whenever they take their drives
abroad or face the piercing atmosphere,
are compelled to bare their necks aud
shoulders, to strip themselves of their ap
parel after the fashion of their prototype,
Godiva, and for weary hours expose them
selves to the gaze of all the rascally
Peeping Toms who choose to congregate
in the park aud indhlge in impertinences
that disgrace the name of men and Eng
lishmen. Few know who have not ex
perienced it the bitter insults to
which modest women are sub
jected on their way from home to
attend a court or drawing room
at Buckingham Palace. As ihere is
little organization of the traffic, and there
is sure to be a dead bluck at some point
or other in the park, the shivering women
are constantly exposed to the curious
gaee ol these eager sightseers. Such a
mob as this is no respecter of persons. YVe
have few sights in London, and the appe
tizing one of women, young and old,
dressed up in the daytime in the most un
comfortable of all costumes is not to be
resisted. The riff-raff go up to the car
riage doors and freely offer their com
ments. Modest ears are shocked by
words of indecency and profanity.
AT THE PALACE. . *
“Arrived at the palace the fair cour
tiers receive but a cold welcome. So far
they have braved east winds, dust and a
London mob to find the dread chill'of a
halt-warmed mansion and to tread the
silence of deserted halls. Here at court,
without artificial light of .any kind, with
out warmth and without’appropriate
color, they are compelled to unbare their
beauty in a cruel and uncompromising
fashiou. If an ordinary woman of society
cannot receive the male gaze in her tea
room Avithout pink shades and rose colornl
Winds, think of the appalling trial for her
when she stalks those icy corridors in the
full glare of aspring sun and in a dress
that would be considered out of place at
an ordinary ball. The court, besides
being cruel, is inhospitable. If women
feel faint or are attacked by a sudden
paralysis of nervousness, they can, after
making a fuss from which most women
would shrink, obtain from a court official
a restorative iu tbe shape of sherry or the
more consoling brandy. But to ask for
such temporary assistance is to call
down the sneers of the stronger sisters.’’
For the prevalent disease of ssaly legs
in fowls, caused by a minute insect, rub
bing the legs with anointment of sulphur,
kerosene, etc., is advised. The remedy is
good enough, but a better one is immers
ing the feet and legs in a tomato can of
kerosene. Do this every three days until
a cure is effected.

CANCER.
The development of the treatmentof Cancer
with Swift’s Specific seem so wonderful that
all so afflicted should write us.
CANCER for 14 YEARS.
Spartanburg, S. C., March 14, 1884.
I have for 14 years been a sufferer from a
running sore on my face that everybody called
a Cancer. I have used over 4300 worth of
medicine and found no relief. Abont four
months ago I bought one bottle of Swift’s Spe
cific from Dr. If. K. Ucinitsh, and since have
bought five others, have taken It, and they
have cured me sound and well! My face is
us free from a sore as anybody’s, and my
health is perfectly restored. I feel like forty
vears had been lifted off my head. Yours
thankfully, ELI3SA TINSLEY.
Mr. B. F. Burns, Hope, Ark, 6ys, under
date of Jan. 22. 1884: “I hav taken five bot
tles ot Swift’s Specific for a sore on my temple
—said to be a cancer. I have been wonder
fully benefited and will soon be a wsll man.”
Mr. W. R. Robison, Davis boro, Ga., writes,
under date Jan. 3, 1884; “I am getting on
finely, the ulcer is gradually healing. I feel
that'Swift’s Specific will cure the horrible
cancer which has been feeding on me for over
20 vears.”
