TINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Review of the Week---A Dull Specu- lation in Stocks. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. The Money and Exchange Markets. Way STREET, Sunpay, March 23, 1879. In comparison with the flourishing ‘‘green bay tree’ activity of the early part of the year last week's business may be compared to a stunted shrub, which languished because its root, like that which is at- tached to “all evil,” was made out of money, Out of the want of it,or the fear of a want of it, would probably more correctly express the fact; for, upon some additional demand for loans and a vague ap- prehension of a coming stringency, the volume of business on ‘Change was materially reduced and the market driven into a state of idleness that it has long been a stranger to. So far, however, the rate for called loans has not exceeded seven per cent, and under the semi-official assurances from Washing- ton that every effort will be’ made to pre- vent an undue stringency, the appearance of which would be quite as embarrassing to Mr. Sherman as to the Stock Exchange borrower, there appears to be but slight cause for alarm. A disposition, however, to tide over any possible financial flurry has sprinkled the market with considerable amounts of long stock, principally for account of weak and timid holders, which in turn have been absorbed by bolder buyers, The re- sult has been to depress prices rather than break them, and at no time has there been any disposition shown to attack the market through an organized bear movement. The popular sentiment, on the contrary, regards the prevailing uneasiness as a ter.- porary episode, which is unlikely to seriously retard the improvement that is promised through the revi- val of confidence and trade. Events of financial importance during the week were few. The tempo- rary suspension of the New Orleans banks had at first an ugly look, but when the prudence of the step was realized there followed a smoothing down of the “rugged front,” and the event passed without disturbing the market. The fact itself is con, firmatory of the opinion previously expressed that the prevailing feeling is a bullish one, or so rich a Wacer for working out a panic would scarcely have béen neglected by the bears. The expected semi-an- nual dividend of 335 per cent was declared upon the 8t. Paul preferred shares and a statement made of the road’s business, which the financial critics are now snarling over. Also a quarterly dividend of 2 per cent by the Rock Island Company on their stock proper and 2 per cent additional (equal to fifty cents per share on above) on the Towa-Mississippi Northern Railroad stock, held in trust for the Rock Island shareholders, Money tightened up to sharp T percent at the close on Saturday, and the share market ended heavy and depressed. ‘The opening prices of stocks on Monday last were 4s follows:—Delaware and Hudson, buyer, 404 Western Union, buyer, 104; Pacific Mail, 12} Erie, 2544; New York Central and Hudson, 114!3; Lake Shore, 71}g; Rock Island, 132; Northwestern, 56%; do., preferred, 8634; St. Paul, 395,; do., preferred, 83%; Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, 473; Michigan Central, 8814; Sutro Tunnel, 415; Wabash, 2034; Central of New Jersey, 3814; Kansas Pacific, 22; Kansas and Texas, 10; Union Pacific, 7314; Canada Southern, 63};; St. Louis and San Francisco, 7h; do., preferred, 94; do., first do., 18%), The closing quotations yesterday were :— Bid, Asked, Bid, Asked.

ADDITIONAL SHIPPING FACILITIES FOR NEW YORK—COMPLETION OF AN IMPORTANT AND NEEDED ENTERPRISE OF THE NEW YORK CEN- TRAL RAILROAD COMPANY, Asecond great grain elevator for the New York Centra! and Hudson River Railroad is just about completed at the foot of Sixty-third street and the North River, ‘he first elevator, which was erected a few years ago at the foot of, Sixty-first street, was considered an undertaking of such magnitude that no addition to its capacity would be needed for a very long time to come, yet it is already inadequate to the business for which it was built, and another ele- vator, larger and more efficient, has had to be put up. ‘The latter stands about three hundred feet away, and at right angles to the former, and is planted end on out into the river, forming one of the most conspicuous landmarks on the east side of the Hudson. The first elevator, towering high into the air and placed broadside to the river, has been a prominent object of note for travellers on the river, but the two together make 4 most imposing display and attract the attention of every passing eye. The surroundings go to make up an encouraging picture of busy commerce, with great long lines of freight cars on the land and whole fleets of canal barges on the water side. FOUNDATIONS OF THE STRUCTURE, ‘The sinking of the foundations for this new eleva- tor was begun May 1, 1878, and took seven months to complete. Piles were driven down into the river bed to a depth of from sixty-five to eighty-five feet, and on top of thesea number of caissons were sunk on which were constructed 126 stone piers varying in height from twenty-six feet at the edge of the shore to forty fect out in the river, twelve tect square at the base and three feet square at the top. From the summit of these piers heavy iron beams were laid to receive the flooring of the building, under which the tidal waters ebb and flow without interruption. DIMENSIONS OF THE BUILDING. The building is 355 feet in length, 70 feet in breadth and 131 feet in height to the ridge of the roof, with a dock on both sides 15 feet wide and in front (on the river side) 24 feet wide. It is built of timber laid and spiked in what is known as the crib form, and on the outside, for # height of 18 feet, is covered with corrugated iron. From that altitude to the root it is covered exteriorly with slate, of which several million pieces have been used. Over 3,000,000 feet of Georgia pine were used in the construction. The erec- tion of the building proper was begun December 1,1878, and it will be ready for business, it is thought, the 15th of next month. The chimney, 132 feet high, stands at the east end of the structure on the left hand side, and is connected bya double iron flue with the boiler room, an independent brick building opposite, 66 feet in length. In this are two large boilers, 6 feet 6 inches in diameter and. 16 fect long, and a low pressure engine of 800-horse power. The elevator building contains 170 bins, with a capacity for 800,000 bushels of grain. Unlike the first ele_ vator erected it can ship and receive at the same time, and for this purpose it has a double set of ma- chinery, consisting of ten rece:ving and ten trans- ferring elevators. The older building could only re- ceive at one time. But in the new one, while the cars drawn up on two double tracks within the building are being discharged of their freight, the steamers lying outside at the dock are receiving their cargo. Four hundred cars can be unloaded in a single day and 500,000 bushels be shipped into vessels. A CURIOUS SIGHT. The interior of the elevator is acurious sight. The eye is bewildered by the vast crowd and upparent contusion of pillars, beams and long vertical boxes. Though looking a wild intricacy to the uninitiated eye it is in reality a solid, harmonious and imgenious arrangement. There 1s'no floor to speak of any- where, but a never ending series of boxes and bins and of yreat wooden tubes shooting here and there in every direction. ‘The wooden pillars are of the most massive kind, geuerally clumped together at the base to the number of four, resting on solid stone | piers and spreading out fen shape at the top, where they support equally massive transverse beams dovetailed and mortised in a way to give a con- vincing notion of the great strength secured in the whole structure, Each clump of posts is supposed to bear a weight of 250 tons, and itJjs, cousequently, necessary to make at least the first story of the building extra strong when it is possible to accumu- late overhead a weight in grain ot trom twelve to fifteen thousand tons. The main driving belt of the muchinery 18 a huge affair, being oc seven-ply rubber .two and one-half feet long and four feet wide. The main driving pulley is tourteen feet in diameter, fifty-two-inch fave and runs fifty-eight revolutions a minute. Two adjacent and smaller wheels drive a set of steam shovels. On the third floor—or rather platform—are twenty of Fairbank’s 500-bushel scales, with which it is possible to weigh a whole car load ot grain in two minutes. To unload a treight car standing below mm the building, transfer its contents almost as high as the roof, have it weighed and shipped into the hold of # foreign ves- sel outward bound cau be accomplished in seven minutes. Kach scale bin holds 900 bushels of grain, which runs in at the top and is let out at the bottom with astonishing rapidity after bemg weighed. There are five ot what are called barge cleaners, tor cleaning grain for toreign shipment. Each cleans at the rate of 7,000 busheis an hour. In the elevator “‘leys’’ are placed auiomatic signals, which effectually stop draughts of uir when business is iu operation, and thus avoid the possibility of fanning & sparx of fire into an instant conflagration. Under the roof runs an iron shaft the whole length of the building, driven with paper und iron friction pulleys, and so arranged that one or more elevators may be in operation while the rest stand idle. Five upright ventilators are placed along the apex of the ryot, to carry off the dust that arises from the grain. The building will be heated by steam and lighted with gas, so that work may if necessary be carried on at night as well as day, Atthe lett of the entrance will be the office con- nected by telephone with the weigher’s post up stairs. The erection of the building, the contract tor the whole of which was undertaken by J. '. Moulton & Son, of Chicago, well known elevator builders, employed 350 men, among whom there were but two cases of accident while the job lasted, and these were not fatal. THK REGION AROUND THE ELEVATOR, The pier on which the new elevator stanus is mid- way between two other piers, occupied by freight houses belonging to the New York Central Railroad. ‘Two harbors, so to speak, are thus formed, which make a snug shelter for canal barges. Two large ocean yoing steamers can casily lie alongside the dock of the new elevator and be hk without loss of time. While this is being done forty freights cars can stand ou the tracks within the building and discharge their conteuts. The tracks lead directly from the line of the Hudson River Raiiroad, The Unicorn line of steamers are expected to muke use of the dock of the new elevator, Several of them have already taken cargoes of grain away to Europe directly from the older elevator, but its capacity ior the work of load- ing ocean steamers fell short of the growing demands of the exporting business. The uew elevator hus twenty shipping bins more thun any other elevator at present in existence. It cost, after the founda tious were completed, over $200,000, and the total estimate will uot fall short of $600,000, The wails are pierced with many windows, ayd for a height of about eighty feet have a slight sloping in- clination. Then comes acur! inward, marking the base of the roof which ascends to a dizzy height almost in tue clouds. From windows near the roof the view up aud down the river and in ali directions is very sweeping. ‘The territory in the neighborhood ot the two elevators is being rapidly and greatly transformed. Whore a desolate existed only ten years ago eight or ten lines of treight cars may now be seen standing abreast and about # hundred canal barges a hundred feet away in the docks. All around are bustie and movement, trains coming and going, cattle arriving; butcher boys, canal boatinen, truck drivers, traiumen hurrying to and tro and wiving an air of life and animation to the region, in strange contrast with its former dulness and desola- tion, A BOOTBLACK’S REVENGE. “Shine?” “Black ‘om?’ “Shine?” yelled a little bootblack named Denis Hallin, a8 he sauntered down Centre street yesterday morning with a box slung over his shoulder. A well dressed man, wear- ing # high hat and white necktie, beckoned the youngster. The boots were quickly blackened and the man who wore the boots threw the ‘bootblack a nickel. Thereupon the bootblack informed him that it was Sunday and his price was ten cents instead of five. The man refused to comply with the demand, and afier a tew hot words had been exchanged the bootblack,” who bad read all the ten cent novels, swore that he would get even. The man entered a saloon in the vicinity and soon for- got all about the difficulty, Not so with Denis Hallin, the bootblack, He spun around the block like a deer, and in a very few moments had the “gang,” which consisted of even other boot- blacks, ready for an attack, A large ashbox and several barrels stood on the sidewalk in front of the saloon, and behind these the “gang” secreted themselves, armed with mud balls especially prepared for the oecasion, They had hardly pertected their arrangements for the attack, when the well dressed gentieman with the high hat, white necktie aud shining boots emerged t the saloon, “Now, slug ‘em!" yelled is. Vhis order was carried out to the letter, A large mud ball struck direetly tuder the well-dressed yeu- deman ‘s chin, Lespattering his white shirt bosom, H He had not time to recover from this shock before his hat sustained serious damage by coming in contact with a flying shoe. A dirty barrel hoop took effect around his neck, and blacking brushes and tin cans followed in hot pur- suit. The last touch of the “make up” was given by Denis himself, who threw a mudball, which, to hix great delight, completely ciosed the well dressed gentleman's left eye. The man then turned on his assailants and succeeded in capturing Denis. A police officer arraigned him in the Tombs Police Court. Justice Smith held the youthful transgressor for trial in detault of $300 bail on complaint of the welldressed man, who gave his name as Morris Wolf, of No. 435 Broome street. ON THE WARPATH, THE WESTERN SCIONS OF BARON WALDRON SEND AN AGENT TO TAKE POSSESSION OF HARLEM, It is anticipated that during the present or coming week there will be renewed excitement all along the line of the Harlem River in consequence of the sud- den influx of scions of the Waldron family from the West, who declare that the valuable possessions at the upperend of the island are still kept from them in consequence of the “apathy of New Yorkers, who sympathize with squatters.” Once a year the West- ern contestants for the prize get together in their various sections, discuss the probability of securing a slice of the great city of which they hear so much, levy additional contributions to reward the faithful servants who represent their interests, and retire to their homes, sustained by the con- sciousness that if they are not the fortunate ones their children or their children’s children may at last get a lot, block, section or quarter section of the grandest city of the continent. Alas for the inno- cent denizens of the West! How little they know of the ways of the world, and how easily they are led to believe the idle stories whispered in their cars! While they’are told that great things are to be accom- plished, and are led to believe that proceedings have been instituted for dispossessing all the inhabitants of Harlem, it seems almost cruel to convey to them the information that not a blow bas been struck, not & warrant issued, not a summons served, not a single proceeding of any kind commenced to establish a claim in behalf of the Waldron heirs, and that the sums expended by them have been unprofitably in- vested. ‘The other day a gentleman doing business in one of our downtown streets—the New Yorker who has investigated the claim on his own account and at his own expense and paused for a brief period in conse- quence of inability to find evidence showing the original farm lines—was waited upon by one of the Western scions of the family, who had come all the way to New York from Indiana, The Hoosier pro- claimed the fact that “something was now to be done and there must be no further dragging along the line.” “Well, sir, how do you expect to go about it?” asked the New Yorker. “Why, we have the full genealogical table,” replied the Westerner, ‘‘and we intend to show these people that we are the descendants of Baron Waldron.” “And then what?” “Well, ain't that enough? I guess if we show these fellows we’re descendants of the Baron we'll fetch ’em, and get that property.” “But how are you going to prove your right to it? Have you examined the records? you know what the Baron owned, what was properly conveyed away and what remained unconveyed? In a word, do you know where any of the land lies? “Well, [don’t know anything about those things,” responded the Hoosier; ‘‘all I kuow is that we're the descendants of the oid Baron, and there’s property that belongs to us, and that’s enough.” And this is about the way most of the Western people talk. ‘They think they are entitled to all the city of New York, and without going to the root of the matter or trying to find the piece or parcel of land to which they can justly lay claim, they build castles in the air and construct lawsuits out of soap bubbles. ALL THE WAY FROM OHIO. One of the Western agents of the Waldrons, a Mr. H. C. Kooken, of Ohio, urrived in this city on Tues- day. He has been sent on an exploring expedition by the Western heirs, and if he goes back without in- stituting proceedings there will surely ve war in the camp. Mr. Kooken fiuds himself, however, in an- awkward position. Although a descendant of the Baron himselt and representing hundreds of scions of the family, they are all bound hand and foot. A tow years since, when Alfred E. Tilton was gathering together quit claim deeds trom all the representatives of Baron Waldron, Mr. Kooken was employed by him to get the quit claims irom all his neighbors, and he sent his own deed and hundreds of others to Tilton, Now, however, when Alfred E, Tilton is in his grave and Charles E. Tilton, the brother, is re- turning the deeds in his possession, Mr. Kooken is told that his deed and that of his Western friends are in possession of @ man named Flanders, who was employed for atime by Alfred Tilton. As Flan- ders alleges that he has no deeds: in hi session belonging to Kookeu or any of his triends Kooken is powerless and has no remedy but to sue the repre- sentatives of Tilton for any damage he and they may sustain by reason of his not prosecuting the claim for the possession ot the land. Kooken thinks that he has already made @ discovery, and alleges that “Flanders has been engaged in leasing water trouts along the Harlem River,” and that he has no right to engage in any such business—not having # scrap of paper in his own name to justity him in laying claim to even a frog pond. ‘This Mr. Kooken, as appears from aletter published by him a year ago, has been en- gaged for “more than ten years in turnishing copies Of genealogical récords”’ to interested par ‘The people of Harlem have little to fear, however, from the Western branch of the Waldrons. It does not appear that they have any data upon which to found aclaim, and if the interested parties who re- side in New York tind so much difficulty in obtain- ing the record of old farm lines, so essential to the prosecution of any claim, the Western representa- tives are not likely to meet with much success while ignoring New Yorkers and trusting only such parties as reside in places remote from the field of battle. RUNNING DOWN A BURGLAR. (From the Norfolk (Eng.) Press.] Angextraordinary chase of a man who is charged with having committed several burglaries occurred in this county March 6. On entering the town of Little Walsingham he was observed by the police. He hada carpet bag with him, and went into the Railway Tavern for refreshment. The officers called upon him to give an account of himself, and asked for the carpet bag. He said it was in the next room, and went to fetch it,or pretended to do so. The moment he left the room he dashed down the pass- age into the street and away across the square known as the Common place. Now began the chase. Being closely pursued by police constables Goll and Har- vey he turned, and, producing a six chambered revolver, fired upon the officers, Happily he missed his aim, Again he turned, and twice within a space of one bundred yards he discharged his revolver. The unwonted sqund of firearms in the street aroused the whole place, and a general hue and cry arose. The officers, throwing off their coats and hats, led the way. The man, ata high speed, made off up the Norwich road and then turned to the left for Great Walsingham. At this place he was closely pressed by a young man named Godman. Turning on him, he threatened to shoot him, and was noticed to be reloading his revolver as he ran. Just before arriving at Great Walsingham he left the high road and went off to the right across the farm in the occu- ation of Mrs. John Sewell. Here Police Constable Karvey, Codman and a lad namea Cooper, pupil teacher in the Little Walsingham ational Schools, were close at his heels. | The distance run and the pace maintained had by this time very considerably diminished the number of pursuers, but Superintendent Murreil and Polica Constable Goll, keeping the road, ob- tained a horse and a horse and cart and galloped on the road to intercept the runaway, who, crossing field after field, still pursued by Harvey, Codman and Cooper, bent away to the left and came on to the Hindringham road ata place called Gander Dam, CROSHCOUNTRY CHASING. Here Police Constable Goll again headed him, but dashing through # feuce and over a meadow, w Goll could not follow on horseback, he again made off a few hundred yards further, the indefatigable three still in hot pursuit, Codmau leading the way. He now turned on Codman and fired, putting a bullet through an apron which be had on, but happily without further damage. They were now on a | piece of ploughed land, Goll riding by the road | found a gate entering on the land, and he now | yn fellow was fairly run down | rm came riding on. and brought to Still desperate, he again fired | at Goll, without effect, but a second shot entered th neck of the horse which he was riding.

LEVY, OF NEW YORK-—ITS HISTORY AND THE INTENTIONS OF THE PRESENT OWNER. Monticello, the former home and the burial spot of Thomas Jefferson, was sold at public auction on the 20th of March, by order of a Virginia court, and purchased by Jetferson M. Levy, of this city, for $10,500, The sale was the result of a friendly suit instituted for the purpose of making a distribution among the heirs of Captain Uriah P, Levy, and beyond a few members of that family there were no strangers at the sale The attendance was not small, “however, for a great number of Virginia gentlemen and residents of the neighboring counties were present, drawn thither, it would appear, more from curiosity than from a desire to bid for the hon- ored homestead of the dead statesman. ‘The sale was made on the premises by a local auctioneer, and the first bid was that of $5,000, made by 8, M. Keller: of Charlottesville, Va, Mr. Asahel 8. Levy, @ cousin of the purchaser, made a number of bids, but finally retiring the property was knocked down to Mr. Jefferson Levy for the price uamed above. The purchaser is @ son of the late Mr. Jonas P. Levy, and was already the owner of large portion of the old estate. By the sale of the mansion he be- comes the owner of nearly all of the original prop- erty. “Shadwell,” the birthplace of Jefferson, was also recently sold at wuction, but*the public interest does not turn toward it as it does to Monticello, Jefferson removed to the latter place in 1764, and commenced @ number of improvements botn in the buildings and on the estate. When at home he passed much of his time in personally superintending the improvements, and very frequently assisted the workmen in erecting @ wall or excavating. THE STATESMAN’S HOME. Monticello is 580 tect high, and slopes eastward one and a half miles by a gentie declivity to the Rivanna River. The mansion externally is of the Doric order ot Grecian architecture. The front hall of entrance recedes six feet within the front wall of the building, covered by a portico the width of the recess, pro- jecting twenty-tive feet, and rising to the full height of the house. The hall also extends to the root of the house, Midway in this hall passages lead off to either ex- tremity of the building. The rooms at the extremi- ties of these passages terminate in octagonal projec- tions. Piazzas covering this recess project six teet beyond at, the level of the roof and resting on brick’ arches. The northern one con- nects the house with the Pela terrace, while the southern one is closed in fora greenhouse. To the east of these passages, on each side of the hall, are sleeping rooms. The tront is one and one-half stories in height. The rooms on the west front occupy the whole height, making the house one story, except the’ aperier or central room, which is surmounted by| an octagonal story, with a dome or spher.cal root. This was originally designed for a billiard room, but be- fore its completion a law prohibiting public or pri- vate bilnard tables in the State ot Virginia was assed and the intention was abandoned. It was to ave been approached by stairways, connected with a gallery at the imner extremity of the hall, which itself forms the connection with the lodging rooms, but these stairways were never erected, leaving in this respect @ great deficiency in the house. The parlor projects twenty feet beyond the body of the house covered by a portico. It is one story, and surmounted by the billiard room, which eer rigs be putto the use for which it was originally intended by its present owner. The original plan of this projection was square, but when the ceilar was built up to the dole saw tee room was projected beyond the square by three sides of an octagon, leaving a space beyond the cellar wall not excavated, and it was in this place that some of Jefferson's faithful servants con- cealed their master’s plate when Monticello was visited by British troops. The floors of the house are mostly in bard wood; generally wild cherry squares of about ten ‘nches wide. The borders are ot beech squares, about four inches wide, Both of these woods are very hard, and to-day present the appearance of @ handsome tessellated floor, The top of the hill was leveled into a space 600 200 feet, circular at each end. The hill slopes gently on every side from the lawn, upon which, 100 feet from the eastern edge, stands the mansion. Its projecting porticoes, east and west, with the width of the house, occupy 100 feet each way. From the northern terrace the views are simply sub- lime and here Jefferson and his triends were accus- tomed to sit on summer evenings. Here, perhaps, has been gathered more love of liberty, virtue, wis- dom and learning than on any other private spot in America, and within a short distance now lie the re- Tuains of the statesuian whose purity and nobility of life hallows the ground he once tro < ITS LATER HISTORY. On the Ist of November, 1830, the property, then embracing 552 acres, was sold by Mrs. Martha Ran- dolph aud Colonel Thomas J. Randolph, the execu- tors of Jefferson, to Dr. James T. Burclay for the sum of $7,000, After holding the property tor some years, during which he disposed of 334 acres, ‘Dr. Barclay sold what remained including the mansion, to Captain Uriah P. Levy, of this city, for $2,700, Captain Levy, or “Commo- dore,” as he was termed by the people living near |. Monticello, lived on the property for a number of years. In 1862 the rebel government confiscated the property, and it was sold at public auc- tion to the late Ben Ficklin for $80,500, but at the close of the war the estate again came into the Levy family. Commodore Levy died in this city, in 1862, and it was found by the terms of his will that he hi lett Monticello to the “people of the United States or such persons as Congress may appoint in trust, for the sole and only purpose of establishing and maintaining an agricultural school for the purpose of educating as practical farmers the children of warrant officers of the United States navy whose fathers are dead, &c."" In the event of Congress not accepting the gitt it was to be given to the State of Virginia tor the same purpose, and should the Legislature of that State not take steps to accept the gift then the estate was to go to certain Hebrew socicties of New York and Philadelphia for the purpose of educating poor children between the ages of twelve and sixteen years, Upon application of the heirs this clause of the Commodore's will was declared void by the Court of Appeals of this State, and since the decree was pronounced in 1865 the property has been in the posession of the heirs. Mr, Levy, the present owner, is now on the estate, and has been buxy since the oar of purchase in ar- ranging the incidental legal business. He will arrive home some time during the coming week. It is his intention to make a summer residence of Monticello, restoring as far possible the grounds and surroundings to their appearance when the great owner was alive. The mansion will not be disturbed— at loast not for the pr-sent—and everything will he to keep green the associations and memories of thé past.

Isaac Finberg and Frank Basseet were held for the Grand Jury in default of $3,000 bail by the Police Judge on a charge of burglary in the second degree, ‘They broke into a room in the Rock House, op Broadway street, a few days ago, and stole, among other thi & quantity of gamblers’ implementa. Among the latter was an exceedingly ingenious ap- paratus, which was exhibited in court as evidence against the men, and is designed to tacilitate cheat+ ing at cards. The contrivance consists of an ar rangement of springs in 4 frame which passes around the player's arm beneath his coat sleeve and con- tains the cards designed to be used in cheating. At- tached to the apparatus is a string which passed around the piayer’s body to his left hand. By meana ot the string the player can throw out the cards #0 as to “stock” his hand and withdraw those that he does not consider strong enough to play against his opponent. The machine bore evidence of long ser- vice, and has doubtless emptiea the pockets of many a greenhorn, STILL NSATISFIED, [From the Cleveland (Ohio) Leader.] It is especially ungracious in other States to make complaint of Buckeye greed in seizing upon publie posts of honor and profit, when one of the most prized ot public positions has been systematically kept out of Ohio’s reach. Never once since the adoption of the constitution of the United States has a Buckeye representative been choseu Speaker of Congress. Other States have shared that honor be- tween them, some of them being a little piggish about the mater, but “No admittance has stared in the face any man from Ohio who looked with long- ing eyes toward the Speaker's desk. In the forty-five Congresses that have completed their respective careers of honor or disgrace, thirty-five person: have been chosen Speaker, and not one of them epresented an Ohio distr: FOR AN ESTABLISHED Abin.
