Last weck the shipping offices along South sircer were visited by a well-known com- mission merchant, searching for a passagetoa South American port for hie cldest son. The story isasad one, and illustrates the yicissi- tudes of mercantile life. The young man is about 24 years old, and, although treated with all the care und circumepection possible in his early life, e had been going from had to worse for several vears. He is victim of drinking habits. contracted it an Ezstern college. and has’ been guilty of ex- cesse which haveled him from one vice Lo suother 0 rapidly that it was with diflicalty he could e kevt ont of the hande of the police. e has run the gauntlet of all the vices uptside of the zuthorities, ana has cost his father thousands of dollars by his conduct.

The xaddest part of the story is his mother's SOrrow. THE SCPPLY OF ORIENTAL GOODS. A down-town merchaut, who recently return- cd from the Ceutennial, states that he was Uy the familiar appearance of many of su-¢alled Oriental goods sold at the Turkish and Moorish bazars and other places, 2and when Le examined them—particularly the things sold as from Jeruenlem and Palestine—he recognized thesi. On bis return, he called at the office in Maiden Laue where the same goods are sold by exwple, and ascertsined thai ine place of mana- fucture was near Worcester. Mass., for one kind and st Pawtucket. R. L. for the rest. It was to him as a trade secret articles are made expressly for the C les, and the demund has been so o to custad; eat 1t the workmen employed pn these things have bLeen forced 1o work over homrs to supply them. The whole stock of some of tnis Oriental traveler ix made up of articles received from this city, and the eales I tenn ve been 5o succeseful that large profits « been received from tise fenturé. which recalls current & couple of vesrs ago when old the rage for women. ‘¢ joke ran that 1ut for ancicnt Jace was so groat that sev- «rai fastyrics were compelled o ruz day and night 1o supply it. The Centenniul xales are almost over, and, afier thut—well, Oriental goods will be cheaper. . AN EMBRYO WALL STREET SPECULATOR. The uncle of a smart bov (himself a promi- nent Wall street operator) lately made o prom- ise to his hopeful nepbew,a lad of 13 years, that i he carned $5 by his own unaided exer- tions he (the undle) would double it, on coudi- tion that he deposited it ina savings bank. The boy accepted the agreement, and proceeded by va- rious methods to lay up his treasures for himself. I the couree of & few months he had obtained the $5, and trumplantly ehowed the sum to lus uncle, at the snme time demanding the other S5, in compliance with the original con- tract. The amount was duly puid on the condition first-nomed. Thia _ was done with grest glee, and the uncle rejoiced that he had done a good deed. Ahout two months after e happened 1o aek the younsster how much be Tud in bunk altogether. The reply was, ** Five dol- The uncle replied that he'hiad agreed to ds posit. the §10 in bank. whereupou the young hope- 1n] answered that that wus true, bat he h::g made no a:reement to keep il there,~he thonght it wonld not lwe fair to withdraw his uncle’s gift, but hie izd withdruwn hns own money. and_considered 1hat be had adhered to his contruct in xo doing. If this boy hasn't learned the =pint of Wall street trickery early ip life then it isn’t the fauit of Lis unceetor NED STOKES' ASPHALTUM PAVEMERT. Tt is announced that Ned Stokes, recently re- Jeased from Auburn State Prison, has bought 1he pateut of the Imperishable Stone Pavement Company for; manufacturivg ashpaltum pave- ment blocks. It will be remembered that one of the fricnds who received and cecorted bim to 1he vlation upon his discharge was Col. James E. Nuttman, of this cif **Jim," a3 he is familiar- 1y called, i n weli-known contractor, who has been inierested for several years in the pave- ment blocke. The patent belonged to a company composed of Californians. The blocks were first used in San Francisco. where Nuttman was at onc time Chief Engineer of tho Fire Tepartment. The machinery was lmperfect, and vlic owners of the patent came eastward to perfect it. By astrange colncidence they sclected the Sine Sing pricon on account of the’ facilitics for obtaining cheap lubor as the point for conducting theirexperiments, Machinery wus erected there, and & larre number of blocks arued out from time to time, which were used in arious_localities to introduce ihe pavement. ‘Lile these blocke were being made, the attention Stokes, then a convict, was drawn to the sab- ject, and he made ita etudy. Nuttman became a frequent visitor to Sinz Sing, showing the ma- clmery to vieitors and othere, and thos made the | nequaintance of Stokes. The two men_took o faucy to euch other, and it was through Nuttman that Stokes became interested in the pavement. It i cuitl by experts to be & very ¥uperior methiod of yaving streeis by the use of blocks composed of asphaitum and Jinestone compacted into & homo- wans b\'n’zreswrc of 100 pounds to the e inch white the material is warm. These blocks are claimed to be yiwperishable and inde- structible. Stokes believes there ix a fortane in the pavement, and, as he is 2 man of considerable ~im and business sagacity, it is likely he will push the enterprise in lively fashion. SHE THOUGHT SLE WOULDX'T MARRT. At one of our most fashionable hotels there s, as a permanent boarder, so-called, 2 lively widow not yet on the shady side of S0, who en- joys sufficient income to enable her to indulre in'the average amount of life’s frivolities and frolics. She has many friends and admirers, but none of them has secemed to win her fancy save one, a gentleman connected with a prominent law frm in Boston. She met him this summer at 3o Eastern watering pluce, znd, thoagh his attentions Wwere very modest and elight compared with others, the widow really fell in Jove with him, 10'd her condidential lady friends that she could o heip *ne came to this city, and he followed er tor a bricf visit at the rame botel. Then retu; .ome and contrived that hie aunt,’a id ol of the ancient Boston aristocracy, ould invite the widow to pay hera. visit to that It was dccepted, and the_widow went to on about four weeks ago. To her eurprise,” ceased his calls, and left her to epjoy_the society of the aged aunt unaided and alone, After a weck -had . passed he called again, but offcred no explanation of his conduct.

A few days luter the aunL. with a womanly view of the sitaation, gave a yrand entertainment in the widow's honor, and Wtcn the uppointed evening came the gucst was in eager expectation that ber friend would devote himself toher exclusively, but he did nothing of the kind.

Elmore, once 2 wealthy citizen of Queens County, L. L, and the Democratic leader of whom it was said a few years azo he carried the county in his vest pocket, was taken to the Poughkeepsie Insane Asylum a helpless lunatic. ‘This case is another jllnetration of the folly of litization. and of the reverses which men of property contend with.

First, his wifd died. Thentwo of his children. Then another son left a lucrative position to take care of his father; but some weeks ago thie boy was killed on the Penneylvanin Railroad track in Jersey City. 1ic has one £on left, a minor, who hat a residuary interest in ome piece of property through his mother. bat it is heavily mortgaged, and must g0 with the rest.

A few nights 2go a policeman discovered a young man sitting on the steps of an aristocrat- je mansion on Madison avenue, wailing piteous- 1y and trying to stanch some bieeding flesh- wounds upon his head. Seeking an explanation the ofiicer ascertained that this yonng mun had started out upon a moonlight ride with his girl, and that he noticed an unexpected coolness during the ride on the part of the lady. e conld get no eatis- faction from her; but on their return through Fifth avenne she had waved her handkerchief near the corner of Forty-sccond street. whereupon 4 young man unknown to him started from the eidewnlk und stopped the buggy in wliiich the narrator and his girl were riding. The latter told bhim that he he must et out and let the other take her home, and upon his refusal the girl, with the assistance of her new friend, procveded to pitch him out of the vehicle, and it was the fall Bpon the pavement that had cansed the aforesaid wounds. The oflicer proposed to follow the par- ties and arrest them, but the wounded lover de- clined 10 tell anything more about it, snd simply said he should take his own method of getting even. Then he moved towsrd home, and the po- licemnn resumed his beat, wondering whether it wwas hie love for the zirl or pusillanimity toward his rival that prompted the fellow to let them es- cupe so easily. . A REVELATION IN A LAWYER’S OFFICE. A very remarkable examination before & Ref- {ferce is now in progress in this city to establish the identity of certain claimants to a large English estate. The case is being defended by & representative of the English Crown, snd onc of the female witresses on Saturday last made s very remarkable etatement. In the quict of a law- yer'e office, in the presence of & Lalf dozen par- ties, it sounded like a bit of romance. The woman is a supposed widow, and in her cross-examination was asked what had become of her husband. She #tated that ome might about twenty vears ago her husband returned homd in a Qreadful etate of excitementand alarm, and after closing and barricading the doors and windows in- formed her that he had committed a murder! As there was no place of refugenear hisown dwelling, he bade her a hasty good-by, und promised to send for ber immediately, or 48 s0ona he’ could do so with safety. He fled to New Jersey and sent ber a sum of money, promising to send more, but from that time forward she had heard nothing of or from him, though che supposes he is dead. 'The lawyers and lieferce who heard this testimony have sent a transcript of it to the suthorities to test the credi- Dility of the witness, and, if possible, promote the ends of justice. ALMOST AN ELOPEMENT. The attendauts at the Desbrosses Street Ferry of the Pennsylvania Railrond Company were amused a few days ago by a scene not often witriessed there or elsewhere. A young couple were leisurely preparing to cross the river with their baggage when an clderly gentleman suddenly appeared, and in company with a policeman sought out the couple in the crowd. When they were found the old gentleman took the young lady's a audin his character of father commsuded her to return with -him, while the policemun told the young maou that he misht take his choice between a -prisoner’s cell at the ‘Tombs or leave the State. e wirely chose the Jat- ter alternative, and the youns lady et him go with- out & sizh, while she réturned with her papa.

PUN AMONG THE OLD MERCHANTS. A practical joke was played some tine ago upou Martin Morrison, a well-known caterer, whose place on Pearl street, near Peck Slip, was for many years the resort of the old-time mer= chants. Among hiscustomers he numbered many of the most famous merchant-princes ol the lower wards, the men who had made fortunes in the China and East India trade, and one day two of them conclnded to piay a trick upon him. They took Morriron acide and said, **Martin, we have atronized your place for many years, and, os you cnow, huve spent a great deal of money with you. What'we want i¢ a private 2pace in your bar-room, wiere we will not be intruded upon, to be our own castle, @s it were. State your price and we will ay it." Martin acquiesced smilingly, though ¢ thought his friends were crazy to wake euch a proposal. The price wae named, and thel space agreed upon marked out with chak. ~ After the mo was paid, Martin was surprised one morning by the appearance of eome carpenters, who proceeded in spite of his re- monstrances 10 fence in the chalked space. The next move was to put in a small etocs of wines and liquors, and open s bar, where whicky was sold at half of Martin's prices. Ilis protestations were in valn; the purchasers insisted thatte bargain was a fair one; they had purchased the space and paid forit, snd were likely 10 use it as they pleased. ‘he patrons of the place understood the” joke, and pa- tronized thenew bar to the detrimentof the old. Martin was driven wild with desperation, and at Jength was compeiled t buy back the privilege at a suficient advance to payall expenses, The mer- chants enjoyed the joke amazin; Were these men the ancestors of E.

Sother ANOTHEK ROMANTIC MISTORY—WIFE YET NOT A WIFE. “The recent mention of the 12 o'clock man, who baunts the vestibule of the Brooklyn City Hall every day until after the clock strikes 12, has brought out another romantic his- tory of a woman who makes a daily visit to sev- eral Brooklyn banks, demanding larze sums of mon- ey, somctimes $5,000 and eometimes 100,000, ‘which she says she bas on deposit in those institn- tions. Her pame is Chrietina Mayer, and she s about 65 years old. Although it is undeniable that .ske is insane. ber lunacy is sv harmiess that no re- straint ix placed upon her.

Christina assented, aud they all lived togother. Mayer treated her kindly, and moved to anew loca- tion, where she was introduced 88 his mother-in- law. The miece died a few vears ago, when Mayer proposed to restore Christina to her old place, and the weak creature again nesented. At later period Mayer died, and, from gricf and sorrow over the man, she lost her reason, &nd now imagines she’ is very wealthy.—hence her errand at the Brooklyn bsnks every day.

To in- sure a correct rendering of the money accounts, Mr. Padgett wasdelegated by the aseociated actora to watch the box-ofiice. Last Saturday evening he was at his post 28 unsual, when Mr. Fulton came up, and, 3s Padgzett alleges, he received from the Treasurer the sum of 520. As the connection ‘of Mr. Fulton with this theatre ceased some timeago, Padgett thought it nis duty to inquire what the S0 mesnt. Dr. Sayre, the Treasurer. denied that Fuiton got the $20, or any other sum. Faduett stated that Le saw him reccive the moncy. Sayre retorted that it was false, and Padgett tried to pull hisnose. ‘Chey clinched, and by that time a larger audience was in the Jobby than in the theatre, but at length they were sepurated. +The truth about the §20 is still a matter of difference. LOOKING OUT FOR INFRINGEMENTS. Among the services rendered by the pri- vate detectives of this city is the con- tinual watching for infringements upon valugble patents. ‘The John Stephenson Horse-Car Manufacturing Company employs several detectives to visit vanons cities and take notice whether horsc-cars manufactured by other makers use any of the patents owned here. The sewing-machine nnited companies employ detect- ives to obscrve new sewing-machines manufac- tured by opposition companies. to observe if patents are uniawfully nsed. The sanc thing is done in benalf of some of the piano manufacturcrs, who are jealous of oth:er makers and watch for op- portunities to pounce down upou them. These various services and kindred work keep employed alarge number of private detectives continually hunting for infringements. The dear public who use patented articles have to pay for this fun in the end. THE STRANGERS GONE IOME. ‘The clection thinned out the strangers in the city asclean as a threshing floor. The hotels have plenty of room now, and some of them are counting thelr profits. Broadway has resumed its wonted appearance; but if any skeptics about the prosperity of the city who have written to the West about the descrted appearance of that great thoroughfare were now here they would _confess that even withoutthe influx of strangers it is a pret- ty lively street.

Routine business moved along in its accustomed channels, but hardly with its accustomed volume. The orders from the country for currency were not large, and beyond a relative but not considerable increase in the shioments to the hog country were unchanged in amount. The packers have notmade much if any paper during the weck, and the gen- eral demand for accommodation was restrictec. The banks have an abundance of loanable fands and eomething of a surplus in addition. Tates of discount are 8@10 per cent to regular customers. Special rates aro nade in some cases.

Dr. Julius Lessing, Dircctor ofXhe Royal Industrial Museum at Berlin, objects strongly to any purticipation by Germany in the French Expo- sition, not that he thinks she cannot do herself credit, but that it would cost too much. The Lon- don 7Zefegraph intimates that Germany would be more at howe in 2 new battle-fleld, and will be likely to decline the invitation to a contest of peace. THE LOAN MARKET AND THE STOCK MARKET IN LONDON. One effect of the disturbed condition of Europe has been to increase the amoant of loanable capi- tal in London, and to weaken the rates of discount. As neither Turkey nor Russia has the credit that will enable them to borrow, none of the capital of -the great financidl centre of Europe is drawn off by “them. Atthe same time the stock of capital in Lombard street {3 increased by the comvergence there of streams that would in peaceful times bave fowed into comntries the prosperity of which is now threatened by war.
