. Cokn. Our market is very well supplied with
all country products excepting cornJ The sup-
rlv of this necessary staple, has been for the
past week very limited, there beingpio arrivals
of corn vessels for several days.

just completed his curiosity shop adjoining the
Gaston House, has filled the premises with

line, whichcan be purchased either1 at auction

A (5ood . Move. We have been jcredibly in
formed that there is at this time Hnj our city, a
Detective, whose business it is tOj look out for
all parties keeping gambling houses, or are in
any way engaged in this most pernicious prac
tice We hope our citizens, salesmen, clerks,
and all employees will avoid such places, as
they lead the unwary into ; dissipation and fre
quently into trouble and disgrace.
'Mechanism.-We are pleased to note that the
new machine works of Messrs. Edwards & Cuth
bert, adjacent to Wade & Howard's Ship-Yard on
South Front Street, are now complete and in
successful operjation. These experienced ma
chinistsare prepared to do all kinds of work in
their line of business, and will promptly execute
all orders. " , . "T I
Burglar Proof. We noticed on yesterday,
at r the 1st National Bank in this city, one of
Miller's patent fire and burglar proof safes,
which that cautious and solid institution has
just purchased from the manufacturer at Balti
more. These are said to be the most perfect
and secure safes manufactured in the world.
Herrlvg. We noticed in our market yester
day, large quantities of very fine cured roe her
ring. They are larger and we think, finer in
. every way to the imported herring from Nova
Scotia, and it would be well for our fishermen
to put them up in small portable packages for
family use packing them in the same way as
are Scotch or Nova Scotia herring, and can; be
sold in other markets than our own at remune
rative prices. These herring that we noticed
yesterday weighed from to i pound each.
New Potatoes. It gives, us pleasure to note
the enterprise and goaheadativeness jof our mer
chants. Mr. B. B. Lane, of this city, is ship
ping large quantities of new Irish potatoes
to tne Mortnern markets, tor wnicn, we pre
sume he realizes paying prices. Wo under
stand he has large orders ahead, and from the
prospects at this time, will be able to meet
promptly all demands upon him. Success we
say to friend Lane.
To Re-Cut Files, &c Dissolve four ounces
of saleratus to one quart of water, pufficient to
coyer the files, and boil them in i for half an
hour; then take out, wasb and dry them; now
stand them in a jar, filling it up with rain water
and sulphuric acid, in the proportion of four
ounces of acid to one quart of water. If the
files are course, they will need to remain in
about twelve hours; but for
fine
files, six or
eight hours will be sufficient. When you take
them out. wash them clean, dry quickly, and
put a little sweet oil on them, to preyent rusting.
Early Vegetables. Our vegetable market,
at the present time, appears to be abundantly
supplied With , the various early vegetables of
the season, and the abundant supply enables
our citizens to provide themselves with what
they desire in this line at very reasonable rates.
The recent welcome showers will add much to
growing vegetation, and in "a few days there
will fie no cause for complaint from citizens as
to quantity, quality and prices.
Not Dead. Mr. JoTin Prime, of this city, de
sires to inform "all the world and the rest j' of
mankind" that he is not dead, but still in the
land of the living, and is now able to repair and
stock guns in the best manner possible, and
that he is also prepared to attend with prompt
ness to the auxiliary branches of the gun trade.
Mr. Prime repairs, adiusts and warrants Fair
banks' Scales. His shop is located on Pollock
Street in the rear of Mrs. Prime's Millinery Es
tablishment. Mr. Editor : I am glad to see that X. Y. Z.
has called, the attention of the Common Council
tothis cow nuisance. There is a City Ordi
nance prohibiting the straying of cattle through
bur streets; why is it not enforced ? Let us

bughfares some of them half wild breaking
down gates and fences, destroying gardens and
fiower-yards, injuring the side-walks and endan
gering the lives of women and children, and
prowl about to the very great annoyance and
discomfort of everybody.- I think it is nothing
but rightand fair that the very small minority

nominal sum of ten or twelve dollars per head
for the privilege of letting their cattle stray
through the streets, to the serious inconvenience

passed, the amount of tax collected would assist
very much in keeping our streets in order. W.

hit him between wind and water in his article
of June 4th, and, it looks mightily jthat way to a
man up a tree. He says 'Democrat" and myself
are the same inaij; He must have felt myJlMks
as much as he did " Democrats," WtJiecrawls
out of the thing like a crab, by abusing me and
don't answer anything. Heccounts for the
difference in our condition by saying that she
has given his tiniend his tajent, jand his influ
ence, ana spent nis money to elevate my ra.ee.
Well, -if-th'at aint enough to make a 'possum
laugh !
For any man to write sudh a thing iis
he did about tbfl cnWd WrfoW- nd tAlVfit
every colored woman in the whole;country as he
did for he had just as well called -the r
name
right out as to say what he did say and -then
talk about spending his money and time to ele
vate our race, is too thin. No, sir, he never
was in the same boat with me, ana we are going
to see that neither he nor any of his stripe ever
do get into the same ; boat that any of. us get
into. He says I tell a "falsehood" when I say
he is an enemv to my race
All I've got to say
abont that is' iust let anT respectable ; colored
person read yonr rough shot answer to "Demo-
crat," and if he will call you his friend,
1 ve eot nothing more to say; it ne ever naa. a
mother and don't damn you as long as he lives,
then I am mightily mistaken. Jf you. Jire: a
friend, then God grant thai whenj you die we
may never have another one, and we want you
to die quic, too. lou: say you spent your
money a'time and talent and influence tqe-
vate my race, isow let me see now mucn qi a
truth teller you are !
How
much
did you rOfer
give to a black man unless! it was about ejec
tion times, when you wanted his vote for your
self or some other carpet-bagger
? ! I'll Ibet
everything I've got that you never gave onfej of
them more than ten or fifteen cents at a time in
your life. Now, about yoiir
talents: ; Nobody
ever knew you had any until you
answered
"Democrat," and then it ; only seemed to M
a
talent for miscegenation. ; ; If you call that hop
ing the colored people, then I suppose you fdid
use your talents for them:
w ajbout your j in-
fluence. You have helped!
the colored people
with that, just far enoughj
office ever since you have' been here. And now
about your time. Ten cents an hour, while 'you
are at work, is all and more than its worth, fand
if ever you gave five minutes of it to elevating
our race, we nave never iound u out. i cave
watched you for a long time, and. you have; the
greatest way of slipping out of one office- into
another, and helping the colored; mar
time to stay in the wet-4f any (fellow
allithe
that I
ever saw. Some of your stripe think they have
done a great thing by putting a colored man in
the post-office, but they haven't fooled any body,
we made them do it, they know it. Don't ryou
fret about my "stultifying" 'myself, or about? my
going td the Democrats. You made a tool of
me through my ignorance, when J. thought fyou
my friend, but I know you ;oo well tc be caught
again: And when, you abuse my race and pub
lish in the papers that our women are all ; the
commonest wretches on j earth, Ii shall stultify
myself again. But for the present I am done
with you. I want to say just one or two words
to the Ku Klux organ, jit says, 'Any j one'
who charges the Times with being a Ku Klux
organ, is a liar. "We mean just what we 'say,
and any one who cares to take it ub, knows where
to find us. " If you do mean what you say, lit is
the first time since I have been reading youEcol
umns, and I have been doing that for several years.

prove, also, that if Mr. Purnell told you, as you
said he did, that he never was a Ku Klux,
that he told a wilful untruth. Now, if Mr. Pool
proves this, I tell you so far as the colored peo-
pie are concerned, Mr. Purnell is gone up; land
if you advocate Mr. Purnell, you 'are advocating
for a Ku Klux, and therefore you are a Ku

A telegram from the northwest to the author-
ities at Ottawa : conveys the startling intelli
gence with regard to the threatened uprising of
the Creek and others Indian tribes, their griev-
ances being that no commission has been sent
to settle the question of Indian reserves and td
make other arrangements in order to add to the!
comfort of the Indians. Tney also fear that
the mounted police about to , be sent to ;the
northwest have been organized for the
purposs
will; of
of forcing them into submissioo to the
the white population.
Arizona Territory, which is popularly believed
to be wealthier in minerals than California or
Nevada, is fast recovering from the prostration
causd by ; Indian raids. Many of the mines
which have lain untouched for years on account
of the Apaches are again being worked, and the
results are said to be wonderfhl.

Mary Waldron, formerly a domestic in the ser

is said that she has since been recovering rapidly.
