OUR GROwING CoMMERCE.

Hhe trade of the port Of New York shows
the value OF exports, exclusive of specie,
Tor ten months of the fiscal year ending May
1st; to be S157, 708, 900 against $112,735,-
800 In 1869, and $1O3, O999, 400 in 1881.
The April exports were SIS, 900,
against S8.660.00O in 1869, and SO, 697,-
600 in 1861
Ihas 1t is apparent, says the y. S. Econ
omlst, that during the last ten months we
have'sent out of this port $45 200, 900 of
merchandise more than at the same period
OF last year, and $64, COG. 900 more than for
the same months of 1861. Such an extern
sion OF our foreign commerce, at period
when-sEe are occupied with gigantic civil
war, is fact that challenges the respect Of
the world, and should increase the conf
dence of alarmists at home. At no period
OF peace has our commerce taken such
remarkable bound; it has been reserved for
times of war to show what we can do to-
wards supplying the food wants of the
world. II is all the more remarkable, too,
that we have been exporting in this large
ratio at the same time that we have been
sending out large amounts of specie. Dur
ing the ten months of the fiscal year, we
have shipped $48. 900, 900 of the precious
metals. which is $34, 100000 more than in
in 1862, and S25, 600, 900 IN excess of 1851
Adding the exports of specie to those of
merchandise for the ten months, we have
the following extraordinary results: Total
value of exports in 1861, 1876, 587, 900; in
1869, S126, sc, 900; and in 1868, $685.
$4,000; showing an increase in our total
exports, for the period, Of $80,0O0,OOO, or
at the rate of nearly one hundred millions of
dollars a year. To properly estimate the
significance of this progress, it must be
remembered that it occurs at period when
the productive resources of the country are
heavily pressed to keep up supplies of food,
material, clothing, arms, and equipments
for an enormous army, and for navy of no
trihng dimensions; and, still more, that it
happens simultaneously with the Withdrawal
of one million of our able bodied producing
population from the regular pursuits of in
dustry. If we are capable of extending our
commerce at such rate, when circumstan-
ces are so much against our producing any
considerable surplus over our consumption,
what may we hope to do when peace shall
restore our productive interests to their nor
NAL condition

A Friendly Offer M1sinterpreted.

Mr.. Pilkington. small farmer in Penn
sylvania, was lately drafted for the service
of his, country. His wife, though she pos
sesses but small stock of general informa-
ton, is one of the best of conjugal partners,
and she is much troubled at the thought of
parting with her husband. The other day
as she was scrubbing off her door-steps, a
rough looking stranger came up aud thus
addressed her:
81 hear, marin, that your husband has
been drafted
Eyes, he is" answered Mrs. P, "the
dear knows, there's few men that couldn't
be better spared from their families
"Well, marin, I've come to offer myself
substitute for him.
GA what?" asked Mrs. P, with some ex-
element.
"Tm willing to take his place" said the
stranger.
you take the place of my husband,
you wretch! I'll teach you to insult dis
tressed woman that way, you vagabond!''
cried Mrs P, as she discharged the dirty
soap suds into the face of the di-comfLted
and astonished substitute, who took TO his
heels just in time to escape having his head
broken by the bucket.-Erchange.
The above anecdote has its Offset in an
other, current in Ohio a good many years
ago. An Ohio newspaper printer, whose
wife was not at all noted for her beauty and
gentleness. was obliged to set out on jour
ney, and leave his work in the hands of his
apprentices. The evening succeeding his
departure, when the boys came into supper,
the wife, addressing the eldest in an unusu-
ally kind tone, -'William, while your
master is gone you must take his place"
William confused and horrifed, his face
burning with bushes. in a voice of abject
beseechingness, stammered out-"Please
ma'am, I'd rather sleep with the boys!'

YeIIows in the Peach Trees.

Vim Reid, of Elisabeth, n. j., furnishes
the Hortculturist some interesting facts IN
relation 10 the yelloWs. He states that eight
or ten years are as long period as peach
trees can be made TO live in that section, and
that this has been about the period for the
last forty years. They all die of in the
same way, with small, yellow, sickly foil

TO the yeliows. From Inference, we sup
pose they all have another peculiarly of this
disease. namely, premature riPening. lie
seems TO think, however, that this disease,
if there be one, is not contagious.
On these last two points. we would
cite briefly few cases, more particularly as
relates 10 Western New York, to which ref
erence is made in mis- communication.
The writer of these remarks has met with
peach trees in Ontario county. supposed to
be forty years old; they we're healthy, and
measured one fooJ in diameter. Trees
twenty years old, il kept cultivated and
pruned, are not unusual. As commonly
neglected, they often die at fifteen. but not
from the yellows. Like all other trees, they
grow more feebly as they advance in years.
The side shoots die; the foliage is driven
to the extreme ends of the limbs; and as the
curl of the leaf always attacks the feeblest
growers, these become emInently liable to
this disease; and between neglect and its re-
suits, and the curl, they frequently die before
twenty. On the other hand, pruning back
aud cultivating will pro!ong their lives in

the day before our occupation of the rebel
stronghold, says:
Thousands of soldiers looked upon the
strange scene. Two men who had been
lieutenants in the same regiments in Mexico
now met as foes, with all the world looking
upon them; the one his country's glory, the
other his country's shame. When they had
approached within a few feet there was .
halt and a silence. Col. Montgomery spoke:
Gen Grant, Gen. Pemberton.' They shook
hands politely, but Pembsrton was evidently
mortified. He said: i was at Montsry
and Buena Vista. We had terms and con.
ditions there Gen. Grant here took him
aside and they sat down on the grass and
talked more than an hour. Grant smoked
all the time. Pemberton played with the
grass and pulled leaves. It was finally
agreed 10 parole them, allowing the officers
each his horse. 1t was polite thing. The
dread Of going North and fear of harsh treat
ment had deferred them from captivating
