TOI BRIWERINEWS,
TIlE PAIR OF SLIPPERS,
rI1ANsI.T:D FROM THE GERMAN, BY
L. H. J.
''here lived in Bagdad an oli nrchant
by the nane of Abu Kasem, who was
luite famed for his avarise. Not.with
tanding his riches, his garments wert
iliy rags and tatters, and hig turban I
oarse cloth whose color could no longer,
i determiied. But among all his ar'
icles of apparel, his slippers attracted'
t most attention. Their soles were
stened with great nails, and the upper
at.hr was composed of so may patches
d pieces. that during the ton years
ey had beet, in wear, the different
blers in BaLdad had exhausted all
air skill to hlid them together. By
i is means they had become so heavy
it when a person would describe any
'ng very clumsy, he compared it to
i slippers of Kasem.
As this merchant walked once in the
teat market, of the city, there was
~posed to iim a great bargain of
stal e0s. He purchased th m at
reat discount. A few days after, lie
irued that a perfumer,'having a quan.
of rose water, had met with a
tune, and mt:st sell it. He took ad
ilge of the poor man's distress,
Ight. his rose water for half its worlh,
was much rejoiced at his second
- d fortune.
It is a custom of the E'astern iner
nts to give a feast after having con
ded a successful bargain. But. this
rmiser would notdo. Hle Contsideredl
iore advaitageous to spend the siun
in himself, and for this purpose went
the bath, which he had not attended
sonic time, on account of the ex
ISO it would occasion him.
s lie entered the bath-honse, one of
acquaintences said to him that it was
to tinie to abandon his old slippers,
by himself another pair.
'I h4vq thoukht about it for s)nie

Illy think of giving them up, they do
seem so bad but. that thy will (10
good service yet," anid so saying, lie
ered hil bath.
While he vet bathed, the Cadi of
gfad caime'also, anid as Kasem finish
before the Judge, he wen, first, into
dressing room. ie drew on his
ments, and would again step into his

-InAke a correction, tking as you have
done, an average cro before the war,

negroes work as well as they did
efor tie war. S pposing they do
eAnly two.thirds tho 1nount of work, we
1inake a redtiction of one-third ; this
gives the result 2, 3,G42 bales, sup.
posing the number < laborers the same
as before the war. 'o far, Mr. Editor,
our figures agree. Tour next reduction
is only one-third for abor now employed
and in 1860, in whi4h~ vou are in error.
By reference to the tatistics of the Cot
ton Growing As :i tion, published in
your paper of .8 te, you will find
the number of haid to be less than one
half.
It is true the repots as yet received
by the Cotton Gro ing Association are
few im number, but I am inclined to the
opinion that the Association will in a
short time be able to furnish such fill
reliable information as will establish the
fact beyond doubt that there is not the
present year more tian one-half the
nuuber of negroes employed itn the cot
ton fields as were enipbyed in 1860. 1
then deduct one-half.fr)m the last figures,
the result of which is 1,111,821 bales as
tihe estimate of the coming crop. As
you state. "It suppows the season to
be favorabie for colLol for it took a fa
vorable season to proAtice an average
:rop ol 4,000o00 bowe the war."
When we take into consideration the
unfavorable season, the overflow, bad
stands in conIsequnoice of planting old
seed, late planting and other cautes, I
make a further reduction of one-third,
the result of which is 741,214 bales as
a fair estimate of the cotton crop of
1866.
Below is another calculation based on
the number of acres in cultivation in
1860, which you can publish if you
think proper.
.Acres in cultivation in 1860, 8,000,.
000, producing 4,000,000 bales; acres
in cu4livationi in 1866, 2.660,666 pro
ducing 1,333,333 bales ; deduct for caz
unalties one-third, 444,444 bales, making
the estimated crop for '66 888,889.

TIaRT-RECNDING CALAMITY.-A let.
ter from Bamberg, in this State, dated

This e vening, between 3 and 4 o'clock,
a terrific cloud arose in tie Vest, ac
coinpanied by a fearful tornado, which
swept throngh our village, demolishing
eetything in its track, trees, fences, &c.,
and striking the building of the Allen
Lodge, at that time used as a school.
room by Mr. Robert Seabrook and his
sistcr, completely destroying it, burying
vnder its ruins seven of the unfortunate
childre'n who belonged to the school.
It seems thlat the children were hay.
mug a little party among themselves,
and were jusa in the act of preparing
some refresh ments, when the tornado
struck the building, demol-ishing it al.
most inst.antutneously, crushing to death

The Venluns Again.
EW YoRK, June 8.-Tno Penian
meeting at Cooper Institute denonnced
Presiident Johnson for his precl inatio",
sid declare they will never support him.
The Fenians in Buffalo are wild with
excitement for the release of Colonel
O'Neil, who with Cols. Hay and Starr
gave each $6,000 bail to answer.
O'Neil made a speech to the crowd
sayi:g, that lie desired hereafter to speak
from the canion's mouth.
A St. Albans dispatch says that the
arrest of Sweeney has dispirited the
Fenians who marched into Canada un
der Gen. Spear, who was intoxicated,
with a small body of men poorly armed
and provisioned. Some men who got
liquor, seemed in good spirits. No Ca
nadians within 20 miles.
NEw YoRK, June 7.-President Ro.
borts of the Fenians was arrested to-day,
declined tlhe request of the officer to go
o Marshall Murray's office and was
brought before Commissioner Betts.
Roberts obstinately refused to accept
btil tendered him and declined to give
any personal parole to appear or a pa.
role that he would not violate the neu
trality laws.
He was remanded to the custody of
the Marshall with quartdrs at the Astor
House. Col. Carrigan in ex-member of
Congres-, was also arrested, but subse.
quently disappeared.
Our specials report large numbers of
Fenians still hovering near the border,
but no further fighting or invasion has
taken place, but the Canadians are still
engaged in reinforcing threatened points
and U. S. neutrals in chasing imaginary
columns of the Irish invading army,
but the apprehension of Sweeny au4
Roberts ends the invasion of Canada.
At Toronto ani exciting scene and al.
most a collision occurred by the- acciden
tal ineeting of some Fenian prisoners
tinder guard and with a fumeral cortege,
just returning from the burial of several
volunteers killed in the lato skirmish
near Fort Erie.
Decision of Commissioner of Revenue.
The Commissioner of Internal Rove
nie decides that int-rests and dividends
derived from stocks are regarded as iii
come derived from fixcd investments
without reference to the time kturiig
which the stocks are held, but whvn
gains derived from the sale of stock in
volve interest, received or acerned, such
gains may be regarded us derived from
business alone. Tle value of property
used in business, less tie amount of inl
surance may be declared when lost from
the gains and profits of business,
