FAT, FUN AND CLAMS. of the Heavy Men’s Ladies’ Bake—Tho Philosophy of Fat—The Enthusi- amn of Eating. In this age of curious combinations, when Com- Mmunism has not only a theoretical school, but an ctual army of muscular yotaries; when all sorts of nteresta are discovered to be mutual which in ormer days were ouly looked upon as individual, ho wonder that the obesity and corpulency of New ‘ork should bana itself together as something to be ground of. They have discovered a depth of philoso- iphy in the saying ‘Laugh and grow fat’ which Sehe world before them never dreamed of. The fat man they take to be, in an un-Hugo sense, “the man who laughs,” and, in proportion to his fatness, o be ihe man with more LAUGHING “CAPACITY” ‘han anybody else. Following this up to its logical ponclusion they argue that this laughter being always fat producer, they will grow fatter and fatter, until, nthe.end, they shall individually and collectively mbody two pure principles—é, e., laughter and fat. ‘nis apotheosis of a huge laughing globe of fatis their fondest vision; its attainment their highest hope. The look with which 250-pounder gazes upon a 840pounder would be called envy were it mot that allsuch lean, engendering passions are ut- terly against tne rules. But, oh, the laugh of oily delight which expands and glows upon the 340- pounder! Notalone does tt pucker up the mammoth mouth and roll in A WAVE OF HILARIOUS PAT over the unctuous cheeks; it closes up the fat-em- owered eyes till their twinkle 1s lost to the outer orld, and puffs out the double chin Ike a balloon jib im a fresh wind; it shakes the hugh leviathan pa with an earthquake heave which is communt- Fact to the region of the waistcoat in @ series of olling shocks, and expires only in bis boots, His fr are his only trouble; they alone will not fatten, d are the greatest obstacle the fat man finds to tervene between him and the perfectly spherical rate. But take bim for all in all he ts the hugest personification of proud flesh the world has seen, fat, formerly something to be dreaded, is his obby. Jack Falstaff 1s his poetic ideal hero, and nglish Daniel Lambert A SAINT OF HIS CHURCH, f which rotund old Bacchus 1s the god, he being @ nearest approach to adeification of fat, Fal- a's great stand-by was sack; Lambert’s was beer; he fat man of to-day believes in clams end fresh |, Smal miracle tt was, then, that the “United Asso- Welation of Heavy Men of the State of New York” ad for weeks past been husbanding their broadest miles fora Rhode Island clambake, which took lace on Monday last at that delicious jpos «~oon =«6the «Hudson, 60 near to the ity and so removed from its care-en- oven influences—Pleasant Valley. The very name ada seductive charm for the glowing s pherotas, ey were to devote a whole day to the fat-bnilding flaences of clams aud fun, and their preparations werefor were on a scale of magnitude in proportion tho enormous vacuities to be gorged to repletion. ho does not know the composition of a Rhode jaad clambake? But who ever pictured such a jountain of bivalves as were towed to tne foot of © pier at Pleasant Valley on Monday morning ? When the barge containing the clams and oysters ‘as towed down the Sound by six steam tugs tue eople all turned out, believing it to be another CAISSON FOR THE EAST RIVER BRIDGE, en 1t slowly swung round the Battery the trath egan to dawn on tiem. A lot contaimiug two cres Was reserved for the bake, in Close proximity the buxom Widow Meyer's rustic hotel. A field f green corn was reaped on Monday, and a whole rocer’s slop Was emptied of spices. The clams ere dumped in two stacks, and on one of them a ion 0: oily niggers commenced the ope.ation of pening. THESE WERE FOR TUE CHOWDER. Three colossal caldrons were gaping to receive he sielied fish, and by eleven o’ciock the peopie of é heighborhood had an early dinner off the savory Mell, Attention Was now turned to the bake, and noon all was i readiness to commence ts Cooking. Leaving this scene with regret, let us urn our attention to the heavy men themselves. to this day's festivities tuey had resolved to infuse aesthetic element, and so they headed their invi- tions with the legend “Ladies?

The chowder was only a whetter of their appetites, if anything so constant in its demand can pave increase of desire. In the interval which elapsed before the bake was ready the HERALD re- orter (specially chosen for this occasion on account (his promise of tlesliness) induced the lightest heavy man present—Dr. M. A. Finneil, 220 pounda— Lo converse on the aims of the society, FROM THIS SKELETON Ve learned the starting fact that even among jolly ‘at Men differences and weartburnings could arise. Vius was made plain in the fact that the society of Which he was secretary was really a “secesh”’ party from the origiual iat men Who formed the parent or- yanization. “Ob, sir, it has weighed upon my spizits until I 4m shrunk to the shadow you now see before you. Che other members were too much devoted to fat snd fun to take any trouble in the matter, and, like tie scapegoat in the wilderness, I am carrying their Sins in my wasting Irame. ln you clambake lies only chance.”’ With this painful speeoh he langhed a few oly vars down his cheeks, shortly after a sound like “buttered thunder” arose trom the fatted windpipes oO the throng. “PHE CLAMBAKR’S READY, BOYS,’ ‘rhe reporter t himself carried bodily in the Grection of the tent by au avalanche of stout hu- nanity, and a moment afterwards he wedged him- @ifinto a chair between James J, Coonan, 270 pounds » Reid, 820 pounds.

Speeches were made by the President, Frank A.

In conclusion he offered the only toast of the evening— “The Ladies.” ‘This ‘was responded to by Senator Gallagher, of the Nut- meg State, ina happy vein, after wh the com- per adjourned to wander by the borders of the oble river and drink in the beauty of the surround- ings.

PINANGLAL AND COMMURCIAL, WALL STREET, } Fripay, Sept. 15—6 P. M. On ’Change to-day wheat was unfavorably affected bya reaction inthe Liverpool market, aud was lower and unsettled, Cotton was steady. MONEY IRREGULAR The money market was more activo in the earlier hours of business, and borrowers on stock col- laterals freely paid 4 per cent; but the supply be- came abundant in the afternoon, and the closing transactions were at 3)g and 3 per cent. } Commercial paper is quoted 5a7}¢ percent dis- count for the several grades coming under the head of prime. ADVANCE IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE, The relaxation In the rates for cash gold occa- sioned a sharp recovery from the depression in foreign exchage, and rates advanced fully one- quarter per cent. The following were the quotations at the close of business:—Sterling, sixty days, com- mercial, 108 a 10834; good to prime bankers’, 108% a 1085¢; short sight, 108% a 10934; Paris, sixty days, 5.00 a 6.26%; short sight, 5.25 a 5.23%; Antwerp, 5.80 a 5.2314; Switzerland, 5.30 @ 5.2324; Hamburg, 8544 0.35%; Amsterdam, 4044 a 40%; Frankfort, 41 413; Bremen, 773, @ 7834; Prussian thalers, 72 a 2 ihe ae THE GRAND JURY AND THE GOLD CLIQUE, ‘The business men of the country who are in the habit of conducting their business on a legitimate basis will be glad to learn that Judge Bedford and the District Attorney of this city have deemed it proper to make the charges of alleged conspiracy and usury in Wall street @ proper subject for the special consideration of the Grand Jury, whose salu. tary interference a year orso ago in an emergency of much annoyance, if not scandal, in the money market must still be remembered. The gifted young magistrate has by his action testi- fied his zeal for the weliare of the business community, and we trust he will powers of justice with Draconian severity against both sides of the speculative contest which has for its flelad the gold market more especially. The money market in general is of course not the subject of his judicial action; for the rates of inter- est In Wall street are far below the standard which the law says must not be overstepped, although it may be indirectly contemplated, in view of rumors of a conspiracy to lock up legal tenders, Under these circumstances the revival of the usury ques- Uon will serve to intimidate any movement of such | ® character, The agitation, however, will doubt- less throw light on a practice the legality of which has been in a great deal of doubt. Reler- ence is had to the exaction of nigh charges for the use of gold in the daily deliveries of the gold brokers. Custom, since the suspension of specie pay- ments, has made these charges a matter of course in the transactions of the Gold Room, and they have hardly been regarded and certainly have never been deliberately designated as usury. Much @ mere commodity fo the eyes of the Gold Room that considerations ranging from 1 per cent to 7.30 per cent have been paid for its use for a day at atime without thought of usury. Ia thto case the borrowers surrender the currency equivalent as | collateral for the gold loaned them and the lender his terms, while asking no interest on the currency. Now, when the consideration asked for the use of gold exceeds seven per cent, has the lender been guilty of usury? Considering the posi- tion of gold as a marketable commodily in this country, it might at first seem that he has not, But gold, while not in active circulation, is money in the eyes of the law, and the Usury act has been vio- | lated, An impartial enforcement of this act will tend, therefore, to break up one of the evils of the gold market by lessening the profits of speculation In tt, THE “BULLS! AND “BEARS? IN GOLD. It ts here, at this point, that tho interference of the law and tho Grand Jury should cease, Usury once repressed, the other evils of the market will destroy each other. It 1s uo secret that the charges of conspiracy have been made by parties who are | interested in a decline in gold as much as are the conspirators in its rise. Tobe interested in a de- cline in gold as the whole country !s means a diferent thing from being interested in that direction as Wail street goes. In the lauer place {t means that speculators, whether Merchants or bankers, have sold gold not in their possession, but which they borrow to deliver to the buyer and expect to replace at some future day when gold goes down. Tho merchant who imports goods and pays for them with borrowed gold becomes at once a speculator and ought not to complain if other speculators ran gold up to make money out of him. fle intended to make money by its fall. He gamblea on the chances that the market would go down. Ii ts these specu- lating Merchants who have joined in the hue and | Had they not borrowed gold | 800 A: there could have been no basis for the organization | ery of conspiracy. of such a conspiracy. Suppose the wheat and cot- ton merchants should set up a complaint that the “bears” spiracy to run gold down and make money on their goods, they would have a3 much right on their side as the others; more in fact, for while the importers are draining the country of specie all the time the ex- porters are bringing back gold. In such a dispute the latter ought to have as much sympathy as the former. The secret of the present charge of con- spiracy lies, indeed, with an organization of specu- lators who are “shorv’ of goid. The leading frm in the Syndicate are openly charged with haying sold ten to twenty millions of gold on the antici pated decline they expected would follow the plac- ing of the $200,000,000 of the new loan, Mr, Bout well being their best friend, now that they have reileved him of the odium of failure, was cajoled into selling four millions of gold on Thursday in oraer to tumble the price of gold 80 as to allow them to get out of their present pre- dicament, The gold market swallowed the four militons, to their utter astonishment, and kept on rising. If such an enormous sale could not break the ranks of the ‘bull’ clique what was to become of the “bears?) The charge of conspiracy was shouted, like the cry of ‘Police!’ by one prize fighter when about to be worsted by another. The despera- tion of the game 1s turther shown in @ paragraph going the rounds of the papers, telegraphed from London, that the steamers leaving for New York on Thursday all took out specie, Doudtiess tis information, accopted innocently by the agent Of the Associated Press, was given by the branch of the Syndicate in Europe, Its object is to help the attack of the “bears” on gold, Why was 1 not telegraphed on the day the vessels sailed instead of on the next day? Why ‘Was not the amount of gola stated? Every steamer brings @ little specie nearly overy trip. The Syn- dteate intended to create the {mpression that there was a flow of specie from Europe to America, when, with sight exchange at 10934, asit was to-day, the Niagara River was just as likely to run up the falls, Fair play isa jewel. Two great cliques have got into a quarrel on the gold question, Grand Jury, them stand of and let whem fight it out if they don't infringe the Usury law any interference will only be taking aides With one or the other, Our word for it, the specula- live demoralization of tie day will come to an end direct the | Gold is so | pay | in gold were getting up a con- | i | sooner if the quarrel 1s suffered to be settled by tne disputants themselves.
