Abstract of Certain Commodities in
Des Ahc.—The following listis not complete,
but i3 correct as far as it goes.
Fiddlers.—The stock comprises “good,”
“bad” and “indifferent,” but the “bad” and
“indifferent” predominate. From one dozen
t<| two dozen of the “good” sort, can And con
siderable “scraping” to do, if they will treat
the crowd semi-occasionally.
Loafers. -Stock “very light.” SiRce
boarding houses and hotels demand “advance
payments” for the privilege of eating, sleep
ing and sitting around the fire, the “stock” has
become quite “stale and Aat.” Loafers weigh
ing above 130 ibs. charged extra for eating and
sleeping apartments.
Bell-Ringers. — Stock has become so
“light” that “fast” ringing of church-bolls
has become “slow” aud reasonable.
Upper Crust— An article not known in
the market since “Madame Rumor” denied
being the author of certain vague aud “mean
reports.”
Mud.—Market glutted—not room enough
for a “short foot.”
Pavements.—The few on hand are “under
foot.” Brick are in demand at a “reduced
price.” The kind certain men “carry in their
hats” won’t answer—they have too much
strychnine in them.
Big Bugs—The stock has been reduced 1c
“small potatoes.’
—— Hinton R. Helper has the following if
his “Impending Crisis:” “We believe thai
thieves arc, as a general rule, less amenable tc
moral law than slaveholders.” The manwht
stole $300 fr m his employer ought to know
something wbajt the fadings of uhievas.

A Nat for the Abolitionists.
The Chicago correspondent of the
Presbyterian—a clergyman—relates the
following:
Before I close, let me relate an incident
which occurred during the late sessions of
the Synod in Chicago. An anti-slavery
convention, of the Dr. Cheever stripe,
was silting in Chicago at the same lime.
A gentleman of this city, with whom one
of our professors wns slightly acquainted,
accosted him one morning; “Well, doc
tor, were you in the convention last even
ing?” “No, sir; I do not belong to
that stripe," (here great surprise was
manifested by the gentleman,) “but, if I
had been there, I should have offered one
additional resolution.” “ Ah ! indeed ;
what would that be ? ” Resolved, resumed
the doctor, “That when we get to heaven,
we will not sit down with Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob, for they were once slave
holders!” This was enough. The gen
tleman passed on, concluding, doubtless,
that he had mistaken his man.

i Pilar on the Pyramids of Egypt.
--Fears are expressed in New Orleans,
that the o’range trees of that vicinity which
for several years past have been prolific bear
1 era, are seriously injured by the late cold
1 weather. Ten years ago they were victims to
1 a similar catastrophe.
