There were two spotless l'arian marble vases -ou the mantle, ami between thcin stood a bust of IJickejis, but there' wero no aiitumn; loaves, no ferns or fancy work, no flowers in the vases, actually nothing which in the least could relieve the room of its homeless ap- icaraiice, No'ono would suppose that it iad ever been used by anybody.

To one accustomed to our quick btisir uess movements' and 'thespecial ra polity with which -banking operations are pef- ftuined, it is quite 1 1 ludicrous to enter a 1 avis bank and watch the -performances there,. If yon present u check for pay ment, instead of handing it directly 'to the teller and-getting your money instantly, or in two of three minutes! at the -latest (as in a New X'k bunk,) yoij walk np to an ollicer in uniform, of whwa there are a dozen walking about the'conntiiig-rooni, in large banks like the Credit Lyonnais, outside the space reserved for )lje clerks. He conducts you to one of the places con structed like ceils, hi which the book keepers are serving out a sentence of soli tary confinement.

This done, yoq are presented with a bronze medal the size of a saucer with a numeral upon it. You accept it modestly, believing it to bo. a sort of Legion d'llonneur arrangement, or a reward of ineiit. (You are then request ed to seat yourself on one of the long set? tees ranged around the room, which you do, and wait prayerfully till your tnrtf arrives.- After meditating -in this ' position for a half hour on the transitory nature of life, the slowness of French bank ofijeers, and kindred topics, after reading the morn ing papers through twice, including the advertisements, you begin, counting the panes of glass in the roof, or studying the countenances of your neighbors, all patient creatures, (like yourself,) who have ber come quite resigned to this mode of trans acting business, ami would be alarmed if they should enter an American bank and draw their money in five minutes instead of half an hour.: They would think there was something the matter with the coin bogus perhaps, or something of that sort. After exhausting all yonr patience and the window panes and the floor-tiles like wise, an- officer in another little tten, dressed in' a uniform composed chieSv of brass buttons, a big "plaque," the siie of a dinner-plate on his left breast, yells, out; "Quatrc": cent qu'artrc-vingl tmzc! 0 course yon don't know what lie means, ami sit strjpidly wondering, but on a repe tition of the cry you consult vour brass door-plate ami find you hold "No. 493." So up you' march to the crier and present your. medal, and in return he hands you out a little bowl which contains your lucre. I timed the operation.'

We have recently heard an interesting anecdote by which; one can deduce n novel and adorn it into a tale, of how second thonght so often prevents vast complica tions. .There is a Yankee skipper from Maine, well known as a coal-trader, Capt. Pitcher. lie is- like most Maine men, largely proportioned, and powerful. Some years ago he ran the--Kranz" from Wash ington to Boston, but has' been abroad sitice, trading between this country and the contiuent; As the storv I Ti, isU-trwip-shipeontmiJidcd by flainti'tfiblej lmpeiuous oui uuuer ot the tneen's "ua vee," was at anchor in ; a foreign port. Capt. Pitcher's bark was being piloted in, and through some mismanagement fouled' the jib boom of tho tronp-sbip, doing, how ever, little or no damaged The old officer, in a fury. of rage, bowled i "Come onjjoard, sir !" The Yankee skipper, not exactly know ing what to do under the circumstances, pulled in his gig to the bolder of the troop-ship and mounted to the deck, lie was somewhat startled when, as he stood upon tt the obi officer called : " 6 dry,. .arrest that man." The skipper was astounded, bat quickly answered : "I am an American citizen. I am un armed, but uo man shall arrest me." "Arrpst him, sentry. Don't you hear me?" roared the captain. The sentry advanced to seize' the skip ped, but was met with a left-hander that would discount a pile-driver. Quickly the Yankee made for the gang-way, leaped into his ig and pulled off to his bark. Straight to the American Consul he went and put his ease before him. The latter told him he would attend to tho matter, and the next day the skipper called. The Consul sat at the centre of the table; to his right was the English officer no oth er than Vice Admiral" Sir James Hope, K. C. B., in all the splendor of full uniform. , "Admiral Hope, Capt, Pitcher," intro duced the Consul. "Captain, I am delighted to meet you," responded the Admiral. "And' now let the war go on." He spoke in the suavest mauner and with the sweetest of smiles. 'The skippW bluntly said that he thonght the Eusdish ofljeer ought to -'apologize. "Not at all; nut at all, in v dear friend. the entire Queen's navy, nTeioapeT witEtmT a scratch. Is not that sufficient satisfy. tion ? Don't let us have any Alabama claim business, please don't ask an apolo gy;: you are too good a fellow, I know, to force it." : ! . "Well, Admiral," began the captain. greatly mollified, "well, Admiral, 'I sorter guess that perhaps it s all light. "Ui course it is. We are diplomats. aim i uave some splendid braixh cabin..

While "Monsieur do Berlin" was chattin pleasantly with his visitor about the de capitation of the wonld-be regicide - Krauts' first performanco as a headsman a knock was heard at the door and a footman in splendid livery entered the roouj with the request that the Scharfrich ter would be pleased to speak with him for a momeut in the passage. Krauts went out with tho lackey, and after a brief interchange of sentences in an un dertone, was heard to say aloud: "Tell her Ksc-elleiijcy4he Lady Countess that I ttju very sorry j btjt I cannot, dare not, do it J" Interrogated upon his return by his visitor with respect to the mission of the mysterious man-servant, he replied with a smile: "Oh, it was only a request from oue of my 'sympathizers,' such as reach mo several times a week. You may often see the handsomest equipages in Berlin standing at the corner of Mnlack-Strasse. They bring me lady visitors, young aud old, pretty aud ugly. Yes, yes; many ladies of oijr highest aristocracy have called upon me aud insisted upon" seeing my wife when I was not at home." "And what did these ladies want!" "The mer est rubbish, Hair-cuttings of criminals, for instaucca blood-stained pocket-handkerchief, a tnors'el of bread f:;om the head man's breakfast table, or time of my gloves." Krauts himself is a' fine young fellow, decorated with the Iron Cross "for valor in the field. Like most subordinate func tionaries in Prussia he was a non-commissioned officer in the army, aud received his present appointment upon his dis charge as a reward for faithful and gal lant service. He is married and "the proud father of a fine little boy, the heir apparent to bis important office. With a touch of quaint piety ho introduced this lad to his visitor's notice as 'djis successor, please Godf and observed that though he had passed an uneasy night before the morning fixed for HoedelV execution, when he looked into his "client's" impu dent, sneering face he "thanked God for making his business so c-asv to him !'

The winter packing reached 2,043,000 hogs, and the snmnicr packing 2 090 -000 diogs. We do not include the packing of tho last two day?, as that will proba bly be iuolnded in the work of the winter season making a grand total aggregate of 5,033,000 hogs, for the past twelve months. The aggregate net weight of these hogs reached alKmt 1,031,654,000 pounds, and their total value may be placed at. 41,000,000. Tho product of these hogs may bo cat -a' ted at 105,000,- of shoulders, 46o,COO,?)d"o poumlsVf sideb and 190,000,000 pounds of lard. In this' calculation it is estimated that the tides of about 120,000 hogg were placed iu the tanks last winter to uJcreaso the produc tion of lard. Tho Receipts of hog pro duct ifrthat city froi the Jnteiior, during the past 12 month ' were "about 62,000 barrels of pork, 10,000,000 pounds of meat and 59,000,000 pounds of lard the total value of fhiehniay be estima ted at alKJut 1(250,000.

The shipments of hog product to foreign ports on direct bills of - lading for tho past twelve months wero about 40,000 barrels of pork, GSG,000 boxes of meat and 270, 000 tierces of lard the dotal value of which may be estimated at" about S23. 500,000. j The Chicago Coiumertial Bulletin says : The general Imprcssio i prevails anion" packers and operators in provisions that the supply of hogs for winter packing will be ample to meet the requirements S the trade, especially at tlie. leading points. The prospects are favorable for an active trade in provisions, both speculative aud shipping, and there is little doubt but what prices will be inegular, probably more so than for several seasons past. The crop of hogs is a liberal one, though not generally considered excessive, an t t'ie quality'umistially g ol for the season of the year.
