PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS, 
Nsw Yon*. Saturday, June 2?, IS78. 
Beans and PEAS.—Tn beans there Is neither local 
nor export deninDd of moment. Abundant summer 
produce diminishes the former trade, and there is 
nothing to stimulate wholesale transactions in the 
latter. The totals noted for export, during the past 
fortnight do not include much new business. Quo¬ 
tations for nil standard sorts arc extreme, and dur¬ 
ing tlioweek buyers have been favored in quality 
when paying even the under rates. Canadian flela

Better.-T hereare no new features; sellers sole 
aim has been to keep down the supplies, they have 
allowed prices to tnke care of themselves- This sys¬ 
tem, of course, has not. tended to improve quota¬ 
tions. Still, stock has been kept moving, and dealers 
are gratified with gaining such a point against the 
very free deliveries of this prolific season- We are 
glad to see Orange Co. pnlls and fine river do. rally¬ 
ing to something of their old-time firmness, as H re¬ 
minds one of the prosperous days wben Coalmen 
would have their say. Creameries have been for a 
long time formidably antagonistic tu the fine, rich 
churn product of Orange Co., Sussex Co. and other 
dnirypoinl* near tht* city. But now, since State 
and Western crciimety are down to prices that let 
exporters in, barge captains begi" to sec the faces

cheap table grades have uot hud a steady movement, 
ptne dairy packages have led the market demand. 
Milled stock mid some factory have frequently turned 
out so poor of late, that much of the offering Is con¬ 
demned. Borne of these lots are heedlessly pushed 
aside, but. as we have before intimated, with a high 
standard of State, and tlie low r.uale of prices. It is 
difficult to enLice buyers to othrrnnrnclfittiat. require

FEMALE BORROWERS 
MRS A. E. STORY, 
“ Neither a borrower nor a lender be.” 
Does it ever enter into tbe mind of tbe woman 
who complains of the borrowing propensities of 
or neighbors that the lenders aro themst'ves in 
r great measure responsible for the borrowing ? 
Certain it is that borrowers would soon “ cease 
from the land ” if there wore no one found to en¬ 
courage the thriftless habit. The habit of bor¬ 
rowing grows upon one as habits generally do, 
whether good or had. and the woman who begins 
by borrowing an occasional drawing of tea, or a 
hank of thread, will Boon ask you for your latest 
magazine, and that before the leaves are hardly 
cut, or your best tablecloth when she lias " com¬ 
pany,’’ as oooly as though Bhe thought you must 
feel it a privilege to lend them. Her tablecloths 
are always “ iu the wash ” at such times. She 
is always forgetting to send to the store for tea, 
sugar, staroh, and a dozen other such things, 
and the reason she forgets is. she knows you 
have them and will lend them to her. 
If her aunt’s cousin is going to be married and 
she is going to tbe wedding, she is sure not to 
have time to get ready for bo grand and pattiou- 
lar an occasion, and so you are asked to ransack 
your boxes and drawers for something that will 
set off her old dress and make her a fitting wed¬ 
ding guest. She will remind you while you are 
doiug this, that her complexion and style of 
features are peculiar, and that only certain 
things—which she mentions, and which she 
knows you possess—will become her. 
You have been years, it may be, getting tbe 
conveniences of housekeeping about you, and 
your neighbor who has bean too slack or thrift¬ 
less to do the same for herself, uses them. She 
lets her tub fall to pieces in the sun and then 
does her washing in yours. She runs her can¬ 
dles in your molds, twistB her stocking yarn on 
the wheel yonr grandmother left you, sifts her 
pnmpkins through your colander, and grinds her 
spices in your mi'l, and you may count yourself 
fortunate if, when these things are wanted by 
yourself, you do not have to go after them. 
“ Please, ma’am will you lend ma a little 
salve ? Tommy has cut his thumb.” 
“Mother would like to borrows little kero¬ 
sene, if yon have it to spare.” 
“ Pa has lamed bis back so he can’t work, and 
ma wants him to read to her; could yon lend 
him a paper ?” 
“We want to go visiting this afternoon, and 
would you please let us take the baby’s car¬ 
riage ?” 
This is the way yon are pestered, almost daily, 
if you belong to the great army of lenders and 
aro so unfortunate as to live next neighbor to a 
chronic borrower. You boar it with a meek sub- 
missiveuess that has become habitual with yon, 
until Mrs. Slack comes in some day and requests 
the loan of your switch, as she is going West on 
a visit to her dear mother, and her hair—which 
is getting thin—“ couldn’t have been nearer the 
color of yours if it had all grown on one head,” 
and “ while she is there and thinks of it, she will 
take a fine-tooth comb, if you havo one handy.” 
An ominous flush leaps into your face at this, 
and your neighbor goes home ompty-hauded, 
doubtless to call yon tho meanest woman alive, 
but she comes back next morning for your travel¬ 
ing bag and you lend it, thankful that the wo¬ 
man has a mothor out West, and hoping that her 
visit will be a long one. 
Now Borne of these troublesome people will 
read this article. They will borrow the paper to 
read it, and so sponge both on the publisher and 
the subscriber who has paid for it, and unless 
the headiug should provoke their ire, as suggest- 
iug something “personal,” they will want to see 
whether some woman they know of “oatohes

Monday, June 24, 1878. 
Shortly after 7 o’clock on Thurday morning 
Congress adiovraed, after having twice deferred 
the day for doing so, on account of the impossi¬ 
bility of passing the numerous necessary bills— 
chiefly financial—which bad been put off to the 
last moment. This press of business towards the 
end of each session Is invariable, and although It 
notoriously affords a flagrant opportunity tor the 
undetected passage of private bills of a Jobbing 
character, the lessons of the past are never 
enough to teach our legislators the advisability 
of avoiding the necessity for this final rush, by 
passing the needed bills at an earlier dato In the 
session. The bill for paylDg to Canada the Fish¬ 
eries Award of five and a half million dollars was 
passed by both Houses; that for paying the ex¬ 
penses of the second batch of “ visiting states¬ 
men ’’sent by Hayes to Loulsn na, though amount¬ 
ing to only $6,000 was defeated in the Senate, 
Conkllug and Blaine bitterly denouncing the 
“ statesmen ” for having brought about the defeat 
of Packard, whose title to the governorship of 
that State they claimed to be as valid as that of 
nayes to the presidency. Hayes says he will foot 
the bill, it his hopes that next Congress will pay 
It, are disappointed. The democratic majority of 
the House Committee on Naval Affairs claim to 
have discovered such culpable extravagance in 
the purchases and sales made by ex-Seeretary 
Robeson, that they recommend the criminal 
prosecution of that ex-oftlclal and of other ac¬ 
cused parties. A bill has been passed authorizing 
the sale of 4 percent, bonds for legal tender notes, 
and making the latter receivable for Import duties 
after October the first.. Gold has hitherto been 
required for both these purposes, and the effect 
of the bill will be to relieve the pressure on the 
gold market, caused by the large demand for gold 
for the above purposes, and also to force the 
United States to purchase about $100,000,000 of 
gold each year to pay the specie Interest, on Its 
Indebtedness. 
After the adjournment of congress the Louis¬ 
iana Investigating committee resumed Its ses¬ 
sions, temporarily Interrupted by the necessity 
for the presence of its members at the regular 
sessions of the House. The Senate Committee to 
investigate Senator Mathews’ connection with 
the Louisiana frauds, has temporarily collapsed 
on account of Andersou's refusal to testify unless 
represented by counsel. As the Senate had ad¬ 
journed, the committee had no power to punish 
his refusal, and accordingly adjourned Indefinite¬ 
ly. Mathews has, at last, offered to appear be¬ 
fore the House committee. A Captain Jenks— 
famous, not for ballad notoriety, but as being the 
husband of Mrs, Jenks—was tho first, witness ex¬ 
amined. He contradicted Anderson’s evidence 
In several particulars, but refused obstinately t@ 
remember anything In connection with the cele¬ 
brated Sherman letter, or the motives of his wife’s 
travels or conduct. The Impression conveyed by 
a perusal of Uts lengthy evidence, Is by no means 
calculated to beget faith in hts veracity. On the 
following day, Saturday, Mrs. Jenks enlivened 
tho witness-stand, and for five hours both amused 
and startled her audlenco. At the end of that 
time, though fresh and sprightly herself, she 
had wearied her examiners—Ben. Butler and 
McMahon—showed Anderson to have all along 
been her dupe, and exhonorated Secretary Sher¬ 
man from having had any connection wit h the fa¬ 
mous document kuown as his letter. That produc¬ 
tion, she said In substance, was her own, though 
to avoid the accusation of forgery, she gave 
it to he understood that she merely dictated It; 
and palmed It. off on Weber and Anderson 
as the Inculpating production of Sherman. 
She was commissioned by Weber to take to 
Sherman the joint note of Anderson and himself 
asking a written guarantee that both should be 
taken care of. Not finding that vlsltlDg states¬ 
man and having opened the letter of the trick¬ 
sters, she concocted the famous missive, and 
handed It to Weber as coralDg from Sherman- 
Several letters of here contradicting other parts 
of her evidence were read without at all discon¬ 
certing her, yet these contradictions weaken not 
a little her entire testimony. A sub-committee of 
two democrats and one republican, Is about to 
visit Louisiana to take further evidence on the 
spot, and the main committee will have their 
hands full at Washington for some time yet. 
Elections have Just been held in CaUforola fer 
members of a convention to frame a new consti¬ 
tution for that State. The workingmen’s party, 
called Kearneyltes, alter their leader, Kearney, 
a San Francisco demagogue, has secured a 
majority In the Assembly, mainly through divi¬ 
sions among their opponents. The regular repub¬ 
licans and democrats put their respective tickets 
In the field, and a third ticket gotten up mainly 
by capitalists and called the “No-parllsan ticket, ’ 
drew away a large number of votes from tho regu¬ 
lar nominees, so that owing to this rivalry, the 
Kearneyltes proved triumphant. War will prob¬ 
ably now be made on Chinese Immigration. 
Heavy rains, Hoods, and great destruction or crops 
In southern Kansas. Report,sot Indian hostilities 
growing thicker; rumors, probably false, of threat¬ 
ened outbreaks on the western borders of Minne¬ 
sota and Wisconsin, col. McKenzie's force has re¬

the natives. Tramps are perpetrating outrages 
and murders In different parts of the country.

My dear friend, if you are a habitual borrower, 
this is for you. Don’t you know that the tea you 
get of your neighbor is better than what you 
send back ? Don’t you know that you don’t al¬ 
ways return quite as much as you get? And 
don’t you know, too, that it is possible for the 
neighbor to get out of tea while she is waiting 
for you to pay what yon o a her? And don’t 
you sometimes forget to pay it at all? Don’t 
you know that yon bum her brass kettle every 
time you have it to “ make up your preserves ?” 
and that you dull the kuives of the sausage- 
grinder and then fail to sharpen them ? Have 
you never thought what trouble you cause your 
neighbor when you oblige her to send to your 
house for the flat-irons every time she wants to 
use them? Aud has it never occurred to yon 
that you are doing her an injury, not only in the 
wearing out of the various couveuieuoes which 
her forethought has provided, but in appropri¬ 
ating to your own service time which belongs to 
her and to her family, and to which you havo 
no manner of right ?
