The Solemn Nose.
It was situated in the southwest corner of a dimly lighted churcli I don't know what ailed it it couldn't have been lonesome: there wore noses oh both sides that it was well acquainted with—mother's and the boys'—it was a long, evenly sloping plane, inclined to blossom out at tbe terminus. When the minister said, let us pray, forth came a sound like mad wind trying to crowd through a crack in the woodshed floor when the minister got to" Conpress and the President, a red flag fluttered out, like the flag from a caboose of a freight train, and the air vibrated even as the buzz of a loose lightening rod tied to a tyranical ehimney, and all was still in the corner again. When the minister said 'Amen,' the solomu noise put forth like a meditrtive putmeg running up and down an innocent grater. Well, it put all the semicolons and periods throughout the sermon, and when the choir dropped its last soprano note, came a blast like a woman with plumped cheeks, blowing on a conch shell to call the hands to dinner! And the congregation rose to go, and the organ played swells, and the solemn nose passed out followed by' the man who owned it, and mother and the boys, and the remnant of the congregation, and went its way.

"What's the row?" asked the officer as he noted tbeir bloody noses and scratched faces, "Row!" they all shout in chorus. "Well, it looks like a row," answered the officer. "You go along!" continued the woman, trying hard to smile. "This is a new parlor game, and me an' Jane are playing agin John. We had him in a corner when you came in, and three more good lifts would have counted him out!"
The officer went away and left tuem to finish the* game and John together. —-. -".yv

The bar was down stairs, but under the counter was a bottle of the worst liquor ever made, found in one of the rooms a year or two before. The clerk handed this up without a word, and the stranger pulled the cork and "let er eurgle" for nearly a minute.
When he set) the bottle down his^ eyes were full of tears, and there was a raw streak clear down to his boots. He coughed and sneezed and gasped, and finally said: "Y-you'ng m-man, I like this hohotel." "Yes, it is a good hotel," answered the clerk. "I like it b-becau9e a feller, c-can git anything here he c-calls for?" continued the man, as he coughed himself into a chair. rv

"A dense fog enshrouded Sing Sing Prison at daylight, makihg the wet high walls seem still more like a living tomb, but as the sunlight shone through a drift, a stranger would have thought bedlam had broke loose. Fourteen hundred voices were mingled in cat-calls and cheers with an occasional sentence, such as' Happy New Year, Billy,' 'Same to you' 'Three*cheera for our new Inspector,' 'Three cheers for me.' The day as for years past, was one of recreation and relaxed discipline for the convicts, Congratulations were passed among them, and to the' officials, at ahe prospect of the New Year, except a few, and those few have 'De ath written in big black letters under the printed head ,of 'Expiration of Sentence,' in the prison register. Several of the convicts with dramatic talent have {for six weeks been rehearsing plays and songs for an exhibition. At nine o'clock the lever locks were thrown back, and fifty convicts stepped into the gallery, each placing his hands on the shoulders of the man in front of him. They marched to the dining room with that peculiar 'shufftshuff' of the feet has worn the flooring to half its first thickness. From thedi niDg hall they marched in close files to the chapel. Clean-shaven faces and neatly combed hair were the holiday improvements in personal appearance. The chaplain's de9k had been removed, and a stage erected with curtains and scenery. At the top, in large letters, was 'Happy New Year,' and on either side '1776' and '1876.'

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 4,1876.
To the Editor of tne Evening Gaietle: DEAR SIR: Business has increased in cotton, sugar and as a will likely be much larger than last year. Receipts thus far, especially of cotton, are considerably ahead of those of last year, same time, and selling readily for domestic and foreign markets. In western produce, the business is about in tbe same proportion as last year, with a small increase in barrel pork, which as salt, or bnlk shoulders, are the favorites of the trade here, and increasing in demand more than any other of the hog products.

The "Cinciunati Price Current" of the 30th ult, has a full report of tbe "Hog Crop" and estimates for tbe season which makes the probable winter packing from the 1st of Nov., 1875 to the 1st of March, 1876, five million hogs of last year's weight, against 5,566, 226. When we look to the packing business for the past four years, and particularly of last year, the geneneral disposition, under numerous depressing influences, to sustain l|igb prices, and the ability of the farmers to control still higher prices for hogs, with the reluctant necessity, however, for packers to follow the markets, we cannot see how a material advance in prices of provisions can be prevented ere-long with tho determination of holders to sell OHly at a profit, assisted by "operators" so strongly already on the "Bull Side." The summer packing cannot be large in couseqnence of probable scarcity of "Ice," by the moderate, if not warm weather prevalent tbroughont the West and North.
