Washington, April ll.~There was

A person very near the President
says the policy for Louisiana will
not bo different from that enforced

Ben Wade is privately exhibited.
Its custodians seem to desire that
it should be stolen for publication.
Referring to the President’s good in

great, repression and decline.
London/April 14.—At the Stock
Exchange, enormous speculative op
erations for a fall were made this
week, tgad sales, on account of Paris
and Constantinople, were especially
heavy. The excitement was chiefly
confined to bear transactions in Rus
sian and Turkish securities, but there
has beetyan immense speculation for
a fall in consols also. Indeed, all
stocks directly affected by the politi
cal situation, have been greatly de

Hungarian 4 to 6, and Egyp

3 to 6. English, foreign and
colonial railways and the mis
cellaneous liet sustained a re
lapse, which was mainly a reflection
of the foreign market. The pressure
of speculators to sell anything which
happened to be upon their hands,
added to the depressions of all secu
rities. Americans have not alto
gether escaped, though Governments
probably hold about the best position
of any stocks in the market. The
rejection of the protocol had little
effect on the value of money, but as
it tends further to repress interna

HEAVIEST PURCHASES EVER MADE IN
BALTIMORE.
Baltimore, April 14.—Speculative
operations which have prevailed here
in the corn market for several days,
were increased yesterday by the war
rumors from London; and orders
from Chicago to charter vessels to
load with grain, and dispatches from
New York that freights were excited,
gave additional animation to Opera
tions in this city. The sales of corn
yesterday, it is said, amounted to
900,000 bushels—being the largest by
200,000 bushels ever sold in this mar
ket in one day. At the regular board
of the Corn and Flour Exchanga op
erations reached 450,000 bushels, and
inAhe afternoon street sales reached
4hh same figures. Seventy thousand
bushels, spot, sold at 60c.
Charters to take corn to Cork
were made at 55.6d. per quarter—an
advance or 9d. in the paßt few days.
Fall In Bosnian and Turkish Securities
London, April 14.—Business on
stock exchange to-day was greatly
depressed. The decline was general,
and in case of stocks directly affected
by Eastern complications, was quite
important. Turkish and Russian
securities have reached the iowe9t
point touched since the outbreak of
the insurrection in 1875. Russian
were 4 per cent, lower in the day.

A Dispatch From the Presi

KKPORTED THAT NICHOI.I.M AC
CEPTSTIIE PROPOSED ADJUST.
MENT.
Packard Object* to It.
New Orleans, April 13.— Yesterday
the Commission were in secret ses
sion all day. They received a dis
patch which they decline to publish.
New York, April 13.—The Herald’s
New Orleans dispatch says Messrs.
McMillan, Ray and two other promi
nent Republicans were invited to
meet the Commissioners yesterday
afternoon for consultation in regard
to Packard’s possible acceptance of
the proposed plan of adjustment.
The discussion was at great length,
and resulted in their expressing the
opinion that Packard could not ac
cept such an arrangement, since it
involved an abandonment of his case.
To-uight the Nicholls Legislature
meets in caucus to consider the situ
ation with regard to the projected
terms of settlement. Its action de
veloped an almost unanimous senti
ment in favor of accepting the pro
posed plan whenever it is officially
submitted.
Packard maintains his defiant at
titude, freely stating his determina
tion to defend his government even
if the troops are withdrawn.
Publio excitement has greatly
abated, and State securities have ad
vanced.
Abont six p. m. the Commission re
ceived the long expected dispatch
from the President*, and Gen. Augur
was sent for to transcribe it. At half
past 10 o’clock the session of the
Commission adjourned.
It has since transpired that the
dispatches received from the Presi
dent fully endorsed the plan pro
posed, and it is to be forthwith
carried into effect. The Nicholls
Legislature have already giveu their
assent. It is understood that
neither the. politics nor personel of
the Uuited States Senators to be
elected are made condititions of the
settlement.
New York, April 14. —The Times’
special snys the Commission desire it
to be authoritatively stated that they
have as yet reached no conclusion,
and made no specific or defluite re
commendation, or even suggestions
o the President. They still hope to
affect an adjustment by a reorganiza
tion of the Legislature on some
basis which will be satisfactory to
both parties, but while yet expecting
such an arrangement, they have tel
egraphed to the President, informing
him of certain well known and gen
erally recognized facts regarding the
situation here, and stating that hav
ing exhausted former instructions,
they were ready to receive any other
which he might desire tq forward.

Cut ton at Liverpool.
The following from the monthly
cotton circular of Smith, Edwards &
Cos., Liverpool, dated March 31. gives
a gloomy picture of the condition of
the cotton trade at Liverpool and
Manchester, owing in a large meas
ure to miscalculations as to the
course of the American crop and the
prospects of demand ; for whicn er
rors, jierhaps, none are more respon
sible than Messrs. 8., E. & Cos., the
tone of whose advices has been u
matter of much surprise on this side
during late months:
The prospects of our market are
not a pleasant theme to discuss at
present. Everything this year has
run counter to expectations, and in
consequence a dull and spiritless
feeling prevails. At the opening of
the year, so sanguine was publio
feeling that perhaps' a majority of
the of the trade here and in Manches
ter expected 8d per lb to be reached
by this time; in place of that the
price is practically 6d for middling
uplands, and such a revulsion implies
both a heavy pecuniary loss and a
greatshoek to confidence. We never
remembered to have seen a more un
expected development, and this ap
plies to Manchester with even great
er force than to Liverpool. Yarns
have declined fully 2d per lb from the
best point of January, against Id in
cotton; consequently the margin to
the spinner is now very poor. At
such a time as this the tendency is
to go into the extreme of despair, but
there are some hopeful features
about, the situation that should not
be overlooked.
The present excessive stock of cot
ton in Liverpool is entirely owing -to
the very rapid forwarding of the
crop. Our maximum stock a few
years ago used to be reached in July ;
we would not be surprised if it was
reached this year in April—certainly
it must be reached much earlier than
in any previous year, and theamouut
of cotton to arrive here from June to
November will be unusually small.
The present plethora of cotton will
rapidly disappear in the autumn,and
we fully expect that after July our
stock will run decidedly lower than
last year. There is little doubt but
that the consumption of cotton this
season will be larger than thesupply.
and we may reach October with the
lightest stocks held for some years.
Jn the face of this it is difficult to
avoid the conclusion that a decided
improvement will set in sooner or
later. W hether we are now ripe for
that improvement may be question
ed. The crushing losses on our pre
sent stock cause a great financial
weakness; business is not yet fairly
started in Manchester, and spinners
are not compelled to buy from bare
ness of stock; consequently it is an
open question whether tne time for a
bona fide turn has yet arrived, but
we do not think it will be long de
ferred, and circumstances might oc
cur which would entirely change the
face of the market.
Whether all the heathen in the world
are to be eternally damned, was a ques
tion discussed yesterday by the Baptist
clergymen in their conference. The Rev,
Mr Sarles read an essay in support of their
damnation. His view was upheld by the
Rev. Mr. Stoddard, a missionary among
the heathen of the East Indies, who told
of some wicked observations he once
heard a Hindoo make. The Rev. Mr.
Pixley also sustained the opinion of dam
nation for the heathen. Not a single
clergyman of the Baptists spoke on the
other side. After the talk, there was
an appeal lor funds to save the heathen

aunt nmiE’S Valentine
HOW IT TERMINATED.
It was a cheerless, rainy morning
in aud old-fashioned country house,
Cora Marvin and her school friend,
Lou Mahory, out of town for a
moth’s visit, sat, disconsolately by
the fire with nothing to do. The
lime that had gone by had been so
full of excitement that to pass a day
quietly by the fire seemed unendu
rable to them.
Suddenly Lott sprang to her feet,
upsetting her chair and the eat, and
commenced dapping her hands.
“What is the matter now?” said
Aunt Hetty, startled by this sudden
movement.
“Why, we forgot all about Valen
tine’s Day. Wo can have lots of fun
out of that.”
“To be sure? Did you ever send
any valentine, auntie?”
“Not many, Cora. But 1 used to
have a great, deal of sport over them
at school. The boys would put them
in our desks at recess, and it did not
take us long to find out who the sen
der was. There were not as many
comic ones spnt in those days.’’
“I wish you had saved some to
show us,” said Cora.
“You go up stairs and look in the
old writing desk in the hall. I
shouldn’t wonder if you found some
in that box in the corner next to the
window. I thought of burning them
the last time I cleaned house, but
have forgotten it, for I saw them
there the other day.”
It i9 doubtful whether the girls
heard her last words. They both
started as soon as she spoke, and
were soon in front of the old desk,
searching for the valentines. When
the box was found they tumbled
them out on the floor, and sealed
themselves to examine at their
leisure.
“What horrid writing,” whispered
Lou, looking first to see if the door in
the hall was closed.
“A proposal, as I live,” giggled
Cora. "Some love-stricken school
boy, evidently.”
Aunt Hetty smiled to hear the mer
ry peals of laughter that came down
the old stairs, and made the house
ring as the girls came across some
that were unusually funny.
Soon the sound of gay laughter
ceased, All was quiet above. Were
the girls so soon tired of this new
amusement, she wondered. Let us
go back and see.
There they were, still seated on the
floor, half-covered with papers of all
sorts; their faces quite sober, but
full of excitement.
“What shall we do,” whispered Co
ra.
“Take it down and tell her how we
found it.”
“I don’t like to. Perhaps she has
already seen it, aud we have had our
trouble for nothing.”
‘T tell you I am the first, person
who ever took that out after it was
put, in by the writer,” said Lou deci
dedly.
“It’s a pretty valentine, at any rate.
But what a queer one. made to open
in that way. How did you come to
think that little mirror was a door?”
“Because I saw one like itonce.—
But, nevertbought this a love letter,
or I wouldn’t have broken the seal.”
“Did you break the seal, Lou? Then
of course, Aunt Hetty never saw it.—
What shall we do?” groaned Cora.
"There is no use groaning. Of
course I’m sorry we read it; but I’m
not a bit sorry we found it. It’s the
most romantic thing I ever heard
about. To think of t his little mirror
hiding that letter all these fifteen
years. I verily believe I have found
out the reason Hhe never married.”
“He loved her devotedly, didn’t
he?” said Cora, looking down at the
letterf written in a firm, round hand,
commencing, “My Dear Hetty,” and
signed “Herbert. Stacy.”
“Yes; be must have loved her. But
he whs foolish to suppose she would
ever find this letter.”
Aunt Hetty 1 oked up with a smile
as the girls entered.
“You round some funny things up
there, I should think, from the
amount of laughing I heard.”
“Yes,” said Lou, advancing quitp
timidly for her, “and we found this,”
holding out the letter. “It was at
the hack of the little mirror in that
handsomest one. We read it before
we knew what it was.”
Aunty Hetty took the letter and
glanced at it carelessly, but turned
deadly pale as she rpad.
The girls, frightened at the effect,
the letter produced, stole quietly from
the room, so as not to disturb her.
No need of that. She had forgot
ten their presence. All her thoughts
were fastened upon that faded letter
before her—yellow with age and wet
by her fast falling tears.
The fuu was all for the girls, and
they went sorrowfully' back to the
desk and put away the papers they
had soutteted, fceliug that they were
in some way to blame for Aunt Het
ty’s trouble.
* * * * * * *
Many years before the time of
which I have written the village
school of Shelby had for its teacher
a young man whose energy and per
severance, iri the task of self educa
tion, had rendered him conspicuous
ly qualified for his position.
'1 nat among tlie many girls of the
place he preferred the society of
Hetty Marvin was plainly seen by all,
bui little wondered at, for Hetty was
considered the smartest girl in the
place. But it was hard to tell from
the gay yiil’s manner how she re
garded the handsome school master
who followed her every movement
with adoring eyes.
Pretty girls do not always wear
their hearts on their sleeves, aud
Hetiy was Dot easy to read.
At last he left—never to return, as
he told many of his friends, with a
look of pain iu his eyes.
Time passed on, and Hetty still
laughed aud flirted. Whether she
jilted Herbert Stacy, or whether the
gossips were mistaken, was never
known.
The years rolled by, and changed
the gay, thoughtless girl into a
thoughtful, self-reliant woman.
Loving Herbert Stacy with her
whole heart when he left her as he
did without a word, she preferred
living her life alone, rather than to
marry when her heart had been given
to another.
Think of what her thoughts must
have been on that dreary February
morning as she sat with his letter in
her hand-the letter that told her
what all these loDg weary years she
had yearned to hear. He had loved
her. What mattered it if she found
it out too late ? The thought would
brighten her future life, would make
it so different from the past. Where
was he now ? Married, doubtless, aud
happy in some distant place. Fifteen
years change pooplo so. Dead,per
haps. What mattered it? Ho nad
loved her. Thunk Heaven for that!
Auut Hetty did cot appear at din
ner time, and the girls stayed up
stairs very quiet all the afternoon.
They wore quite surprised at tea
t ime to see her us cheerful aud bright
as ever. They had expected some
thing very different. How little they
understood her. Seeing the girls felt
concerned, she said;
“You read the letter girls?”
"Yes, auntie, we did not, know—”
“Never mind. I am glad you
found it.”
“Where is he now?” Cora ventured
to say.
“I don’t know, Cora. Wo will not
talk about it any more.”
That night, after the rest of the
household were quiet, there was a
whispered consultation iu the girls’
room, that lasted for some time.
And if one could judge from the low
eager tones, it would seem that a
very important subject was being dis
cussed.
The next morning the two girls de
parted from the village at an early
hour, looking so mysterious that
Hannah, as she watched them down
the laue, muttered to herself:
“There is mischief afloat, I’ll war
rant,”
They returned after a few hours,
and went immediately to their room,
where, after the door was bolted,
Lou went throught a series of antics,
that would have been quite astonish
ing to a beholder who did not know
the state of her mind.
“I can’t help it, Cora,” she said,
after she had danced all over the bed,
and upset all the chairs.
I must give vent to my feelings
some way, or I shall burst. It’s so
splendid to think we found out so
nicely where ho was. I thought I
should die when you questioned old
Mr. Deau in that careless way.”
“Do you think he mistrusted?”
said Cora, quite alarmed.
“Of course not. You looked an in
nocent as a lamb. If it had been one
of those gossiping old ladies that
abound in this neighborhood they
might have suspected something, I
dare say the old gentleman had for
gotten all about it. He thought us
wonderfully interested in that school.
I hope I haven’t lost tne prospectus
he gave me. No; here it is.”
And out of Cora’s pocket came
thourtiole desired, on wlrioh they
found the words that so delighted
them :
“Professor of languages, Herbert
F. Btaoy.”
Now the letter. After much laugh
ing and whispering, the following
epistle was produced—composed by
both, but copied and signed by Cora :
Hhelby, February 8.
“Dear Sir :—Pardon mo for taking this
liberty. I have something to toll you that
I think you would like to hoar.
“You perhaps remember sending a val
entine many years ago to Miss Hetty
Marvin, which contained a letter.
“That letter was discovered Jor the first
time yesterday.
“She was very much affected when she
read it, and 1 think has remained single
all these years for your sake.
“I think if you Send her another valen
tine this year it would meet with better
success. Her niece,
Cora Marvin.
“P. S. -I forget to Say that Aunt Hetty
does not know that I am writing this.”
There,” said Lou, with a sigh of relief,
“the thing is done.”
After that there was a lull in their ex
citement. Cora evidently repented hav
ing meddled with the affair at all, and it
tasked Lou’s ingenuity to the utmost to
keep her from confessing the whole thing
to aunt Hetty, who wondered what made
her gay little neice so low-spirited.
“Yon will spoil the whole thing if you
do,” scolded Lou.
“I don’t care," sohbed Cora. “I just
happened to think this morning that per
haps lie is married. AVouldn’t it be
dreadful?”
Lou dropped ou the carpet quite
speechless for once, but soon broke out
into such a hearty laugh that Cora was
forced to join while the tears were ou
her checks.
“I don’t know what you see in it to
laugh at,” she said, at length.
“I am laughing to think, what a nice
mess we have made if he is married.
Wouldn’t he and his wife have a jolly
quarrel if she would get hold of that
lettcrof yours?”
“I wish I had never written it.”
“Pshaw! It’s no use to fret about it
now-. Let’s go this afternoon and see
if we do not get nn answer. lie may
write.”
Aunt Iletty made no objections when
the girl proposed a walk that atternoon.
She thought that the fresh air might do
Cora good, she had been feeling so bad.
This touched the child’s iieart so that
she would have then and there made a
confession of her secret if Lou had not
rais and tier eyebrows in such an alarming
manner that she was frightened into
keeping quiet.
“Yes, there was a letter for “Miss
Cora Marvin,” and us soon as they had
got far enough out of the village not to
be observed, they opened it and read as
lollows:
Miss Cora :—You did not need to apolo
gize for writing to me. You have done
me a kindness I can never repay.
“I will bring your aunt’s valentine this
year in person. Do not mention it to her,
as I wish it to be a surprise.
Very truly yours,
Herbert F. Tracy.
“February 10th ,1871.”
“Short and sweet," pouted Cora. “I
think he might have told me all about it.
lam glad he is coming though. What
will Aunt Hetty siy?”
St. Valentine’s Day dawned bright and
clear. The girls were up earlier than
usual, and fluttered about the house all
the morning in such an exciting manner,
that even Aunt Hetty began to suspect
that something was going to happen.
After dinner Lou coaxed her to let, her
do her hair up in a most stylish way, and
took cautiously a rose Irom the flower pot
that stood Jin the window and twined it
among Iter braids. .
They were all quietly sewing when the
train came in, about three o’clock in the
afternoon; and, as the whistle was heard,
the girls trembled with excitement.
By-and-bye a quick, firm tread was
heard on the walk outside, a step on the
porch, and the knocker came down with
a citing.
It was Lou who flung open the door
and ushered in the tall handsome gentle
man, who caught Aunt Hetty in his arms
as she came forward to meet him.
It was Lou who dragged Cora out of
the room ioio the hail, where they both
sat down on the oil-cloth and cried till
they were summoned hack to the sitting
room.
When they came into the room it was
with red eyes and faltering steps, hut the
warm welcome they received brought
smiles and banished their fears.
Aunt Hetty had learned their part of
the story, hut in her happiness could not
chide them for the trick they had played
her, since it had brought her her val
entine.

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent
Fever, Cliill Fever, Remittent Fever,
Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever,
&c., and indeed all the affections which
arise from malarious, marsh, ©r mias
matic poisons.
This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable Ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people In malari
ous districts demand. Its great superiority over
any other medicine yet discovered for the cure
of Intermittent* is, that it contains no quinine or
mineral, and those who take it are free from
danger of quinism or any injurious effects, and
are as healthy after using it as before. It has
been extensively employed during the last thirty
years in the treatment of these distressing dis
orders, and so unvarying has been its Success
that it has gained the reputation of being infalli
ble. It can, be safely recommended as a sure
remedy and specific for the Fever aud Ague of
the West, and the Chills and Fever of the
South, which, once broken up by it, do not
return until the disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise
from the irritation of this poison, such as Neu
ralgia, Itlieumathin, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Ca
tarrh, Asthma, Palpitation, Splenic
Affections, Hysterics, Pain In the Bow
els, Colle, Paralysis, and derangement of
the Stomach, all of which become intermittent
or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
Ayer’s Ague Cure, which cures them alt alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. A
a preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevail,
as it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory fy*i>pr.
toms. Travellers and temporary residents a*e
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer If they avail thciiiSdlffce of the
protection this remedy affords, f ** •
For Diver Coniplalhts, arising from
torpidity, it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates
this organ into healthy activity, and produces
many remarkable cures where other medicines
fail.
