TIIE DIRECT TRADE QUESTION.—
UNION OF THE WORLD’S COTTON
PORTS.
The tendon correspondent of the
New York Times, in the course of a
letter dereted to the consideration of
the shipping interest, st home and
abroad, eajs:
Cheap steam transportation be
tween the cotton ports of the United
States and the cottotx Markets of
Europe can no longer be postponed
without causing injur j to the cotton
growers of our Southern States.
India, the great competitor in cotton
culture, is now within easj reach of
the European markets, by steam
and the Suez Canal. Already steam
litrfes to the cotton ports of India, via
the Canal, have been started in Mar
seilles, Genoa, Trieste and Odessa,
and all those ports are now practical
lj nearer to Bombav than they are
to New Orleans or Savannan. Liver
pool, London and Havre ship owners
a • also sending steamers to Bombay
and Calcutta, via Suez, and orders
to build steamers especially adabted
to the traffic have been received in
England and Scotland from nearly
every important seaport in Europe.
The effect of this close connection
between the cotton manufacturers of
Europe, cannot be favorable to the
cotton-growing interest of the Uni
ted State. Its threatened danger
should be promptly met by fair leg
islation and vigorous enterprise. The
Southern States must have direct
steam connections with the leading
European cotton markets, and that
steam connection must be profitable
to those who provide the transporta
tion, or it will not last. Vessels of
moderate cost, light working expen
ses, large cargo capacity and light
draught, are the only classes of steam
ers tTiot can earn attractiae profits
by carrying cotton at the current
freights ; and such steamers Ameri
can citizens; they must ignor that
proud title or retire from the busi-.
ness of running steamships upon the
North Atlantic.- The class of steam
ers required for the cotton trade can
not he built in the United States with**
out an extravagant outlay of capital,
which will he sure to entail a seri us
loss upon any one who may attempt
the enterprise.
As our laws now stand, our (South'
ern fellow citizen* must patiently
wait until foreign steamship owners
take up the trade which they offer,
and which Americans, their fellow*
countrymen, would gladly carry on
if they were permitted to do so upon
cenditioiis Which offered a reasonable
promise of success. The people of
the (South like the the people of the
West, are dependent upon foreign
ship-owners for the conveyance of
their produce to European markets,
and they will continue to be so de
pendent, so long as they submit to
the influences aud interests which are
opposing the repeal of the Registry
law, whieh forbids the purchase by
American citizens of ships suitable
for mordern traffic, upen terms which
will allow them to compete with the
ship-owners of Great Britain, Ger
many, France, (Spain, Italy, Autria,
Russia, or Turkey.
A Lady Born Beif and Dumb
Talks on her Death Bed. —Elizabeth
Cordrey, of Tya-skin district, Some
erset county, Md., was born a mute
and was never known to utter a syl
lable until Saturday, on which day,
our informant states, she was fifty
years old. She had been confined
to a bed of sickness for some time,
when, on the day mentioned, to the
great sui prise of her fam ly and
triends, she began talking fluently,
and from then to the hour of her
death, which occured on the follow
ing day, she prayed almost unceas
ingly in an audible voice and under-
Itandingly. The lady, we learn, has
two sisters and a brother also mutes.

New York letter, is supplied with
books and papers by male and female
symyothizers, and receives on the av

in the art of receiving and the com*
panion-art of small talk. His pre
cipitancy in the Richardson- affair
has large interested in him numerous

to do than express maudlin sympathy.

HOW THI FQUIEI WAS ESBUKED BT niS
WIFE, AMD HOW HE MTXNQKU HIMHEIF.
The Squire had a friend to visit
him on business, and was very much
annoyed to be interrupted by his wife,
who catne to agk him what he wanted
for dinner.
“Go away ! let us alone P* impa
tiently said the Squire.
Business detained the friend until
after dinner time, and the Sbuire
urged him to remain. The Squire
was a generous provider, proud of
his table, and he complacently escor
ted his friend to a seat. A little to
the surprise of both, they saw noth
ing on the board but a huge dish of
salad, which the good wife began
quietly to dish up.
“My dear,” said the Squire,
“where are the meats ?”
“There are bone to-day,” said his
lady.
“No meats? What in the name of
poverty ! The vegetables then. Why
don’t you have them brought in ?”
“You didn’t order any.”
“Order ! I didn’t order anything,”
said the amazed Squire.
“You forget,” coolly answered the
house-wife. “I asked what you
should have, and you sain, ‘lettuce
alone., Here it is.”
The frieud burst into a laugh, and
the Squire, after looking lugubrious
a moment, joined in.
“ Wife, I give it up. I owe you one.
Here is that fifty dollars you wanted
for that carpet which I denied you.”
Tae ’Squire forked over. “Now let
us have peace, and some dinner.”
The good woman pocketed the pa
per, rang the bell, and a sumptuous
repast of fish, pouitry and vegeta
bles was brought in.
A few days afterward the ’Squire
remained working in his garden some
time after the usual tea honr. His
wife grew impatient of delay, and
went to find him. His excuse when
as£ed what he was waiting for, threw
her into a flutter of excitement.
“Some one’s to come to supper,”
she exclaimed. “Why don’t you tell
me ? I declare you are the provok”
ingest of men.”
And without asking which of his
friends was expected, she hastened
to change her dress and slick up her
hair for the occasion. This done,
she came out and found the Squire
seated at tho table, reading the news
paper.
“Where’s your company?”
“My company ! I haven’t any
company.”
“But you said you expected some
body to supper,” exclaimed the
dignant wife.
“My dear, I said no such thing.
You asked me what l was Waiting for,
and I said summons to come to sup-
what I was waiting for,
my dear, snd I cume at once.”
“And you have made me go and
change my dress. Oh, I’ll pay you
for this.”
“No matter about it, my dear, I
owed you for that lettuce.”
jjgjp* They have a way in Germany
of paying the dootor by contract.
All families who are in receipt of
something like a regular income,
send their physician a certain fee on
New Year’s Eve, or a day or two
latter, as remuneration fer his atten
tion during the previous year. The
amount is determined by mutual
agreement, at the commencement of
the engagement, and is estimated
with reference tothe means of the
patient rather than the services he is
likely to require.
gkwr* Mr. Cox explained that the
vote of himself and other members
to lay the bill on the table was
not intended as an apology for poly
gamy, but they believed, or at least
he did, that all measures of persecu
tion always defeated their object.
He said he preferred to strangle po
lygamy by another process, to which
Mr. Blair replied that he hoped the
General would not attempt to strangle
it by embraces, occasioning consider
able laughter.
Iggk. Mrs. Rachel Snell, of Ohio
county, Indiana, detected her hus
band the other day in the act of be
stowing a kiss upon the maid of all
work ; whereupon the dofsal verte
brae of Madame Rachel became great

dashing a pailful of boiling water
upon the happy pair. They were
seriously injured, but will recover.

HON J E. BLUNT, ALIAS -OLD SPOT”
Editor Constitution: What office does
he hold on the Stane Railroad ? We
presume it is a tine qua non —after
this fashion : It is related that when
John Tyler was President of the Uni
ted States, an old friend who had
lived in his neighborhood, who had
done gallant military service in 1812,
performed pro< of vahf at New
Orleans, whose father had dandled
Tyler upon his knee, and predicted
that he would be President, having
heard of Harrison’s death and tbo
succession of Tyler,
mounted his bob-tailed pony, and rode
to Washington City. Enquiring for
the White House, he wended has way
thither. Arriving at the gate, and
seeing the iron railing, he soliloquis
ed: “I am here in the morning—'
this is a good place to hitch horses
at.” Alighting, he walked in and
asked for the President.
The messenger said: “Have you a
card ?” 4
“No said he, “I dont play cards.
Go tell John Tyler that Major Dade
wants to see him.”
He wes admitted, and approaching
the President, said, warmly, “How
are you, John i I am glad to see you.
I always knowed you would be Presi
deut. I told Sally so, when our last
child was born, and I knowed then I
would git an office. Jf Lq, old fellow,
I am old and poor, and must nave in
office."
Tyler inquired : “What do you
want Major r
The Major, having moved in good
society, had somewhere heard tho
word "sinecure” used, but forgetting
the meaning of it, and confounding
it with a Latin phrase somewhat liko
it in sound, said: “John, I want a
tine qua non. The President there
upon tendered to him the office of
warden of the Penitentiary. Gladly
accepting the office, the ‘Major im
mediately repaired to the Penitentia
ry, and assembling the convicts made
the following speech:
“Boys, I am a kind hearted man.
If you behave yourselves. I’ll treat
you well ; but if you mislist, I’ll be
d—d «f I don’t discharge the last one
of you!”
It is suggested that this, or a simi
lar one, is the office held by the afore
said “ Old Spot."
The Cadetship — A. Story of a Crazy
Miller. —The plea of Mr. YVhitte
more, argued so disatrously to hia
client by General Butler, that tho
cadet money all went to the poor,
ha* revived the old story of the mil
ler who sometimes had crazy fits, in
which he always imagined himself to
be the Lord judging the world. On
these occasions, he would put on a
paper crown, ascend a pile of meal
bags witli great dignity, and call his
neighbors in succession. The same
ones were always judged ; and they
were millers of his vicinity. The
first summoned was Hans Schmidt:
“Hans /Schmidt, shtand oop, Hans,
vat is peen your pisbness in dat old
w< f and ?”
“I vas a miller, Oh, Lort.”
* “Vas you a joost mon?”
“Veil, ven der water vas low and
the pishness is pad, O Lort, I some
dimes dakes a leetle ex dr a doles.
“Yell, Hans, you shall go ofer mit
der gotes, already yet.”
And in succession all were tried
and immediately sentenced to go over
to the goats.- Last of all the miller
invariably tried himself in the follow
ing style :
“Yacob Miller, stand oop. Yacob,
vat var your pishness in dat order
vorhi ?”
“I vas a miller, Oh, Lord.”
“Vas you always a joost man, Ya
cob ?”
“Veil, Oh Lort, ven de vatsr vat
a leetle low and de pishness pad, I
sometimes dakes soma leetle doles;
but, Oh Lort, I all de vile gives doe«
exdra doles to de poor.”
[After a long pause.] “Veil, Ya
cob Miller, you can go ofer mit de
sheeps, but it is von dam tight

homeward from the Capitolin a street

and the question of residence. On©
of them said, jokingly, that it could
be proved that Gen. Ames was not a
resident of Mississippi He tl o ight
it would be just as well to lay down
the broad principle that any man who
is not a resident cf Maine must b©
regarded as a resident of Mississippi.
But what has Mississippi to say to
such a proposition ?
