changing business. No mechanical
business is altogether agreeable.
Commerce, in its endless varieties, Is
affected, like other human pursuits,
with trials, unwelcome duties. and
spirit-tiring necess tiles. It is the
very wantonuess of folly for man to
search out the frets and burdens of
his calling, and give his mind every
day to the consideration of them.
They belong to human life. They
are inevitable. Brooding, then. only
gives them strength. On the other
hand, a man has power given to him
to shed beauty and pleasure upon the
homeliest toll, if he is wise.
Let a man adopt his business, and
identity it with his life, and cover it
with pleasant associations; for God
has given us imaginations, not alone
to make some poets, but to enable all
men to beautify homely things. Heart
yarnish will cover up innumerable
evils and defects. Look at the good
things. Accept your lot as man
does a piece of rugged ground, and
begin to get out the rocks and roots,
to deepen and mellow the SOIL, to
enrich, and plant it. There is some
thing IL the most forbiddine vocation,
around which a man may Irvine pleas
ant fancies-out of which he may de-
velop an honest pride. -

Honor Yonr Business.

As the New York Economist says vs.
it is good sign when a man is proud
of his work or his calling. Yet moth
ing is more common than to hear men
finding fault constantly with their
particular business, and deeming
themselves unfortunate because fast
ened to it by the necessity of gaining
a livelihood In this spirit men fret,
and laborously destroy all their com
fort in the. work; or they change their
business, and go on mfserably, shift
ing from one thing to another, till the
grave or the spoorhouse gives them
fast grip. But while occasionally d
man fails in his life because he is not
in the place fitted for his peculiar
talent, it happens ten times oftener
that failure results from neglect and
even contempt Of an honest business.
A man should put his heart into
everything he does, eI1. IL.

For some months past our exports

while the crop of corn is fair one.
California is shipping twelve million
bushels of superior breadstuffs, worth
four dollars per GENITAL in gold at Liv-
erpool. The West can furnish rat
least seventy millions more for exl
port. Chicago alone daily sends for
ward nearly half a million bushels of
breadstuffs. Milwaukee, Toledo, De-
troit, st. Louis and other ports, as
much more. while the South from an
importer has become an exporter.
There arc strong indications that
our exports for ten months to come
will average close upon fifty millions
currency per month. lk4ultH
Cotton, at the reduced price of
eighty dollars per bale, will give six

mands in New York two and two

Twelve million bushels per month

A Third Chapter I'm a Murder History
= Arrest OF an Alleged Murderer.

Nearly two years since We pub
Hshed the facts, so far as then known,
in connection with the supposed MUIR
der of 6 woman of the town" famil-
iarly known as Frenchy.' whose
corpse was found, stiffened by the
frigid breath of q severe winter night,
in an alley back of the courthouse,
in this city. 1t will be remembered
that all investigation failed to estab-
lish more than very few facts, and
those unimportant as to her identity
and as to the means by which her
murder had been, accomplished.
Whether she had, been dragged, or.
knocked insensible by a. fist blow and
then left there to be frozen to death,
was not established by the scanty evil
dence elected by the investigation
before, the coroner''s jury. It was
simply ascertained that up To a late
hour Of the night before she had been
walking through the streets in COM
pany with u man; that she was nicely
dressed. as if for a ball; that. both
were drinking freely; and that, they
were last seen together at the Black
Bear Tavern, about two squares from
where her body was found
aeHer companion that night, whose
name was Stansifer,, was famiIiarly
known as "Ole. Bull. The verdict
in the case was death at the hands
of some person or persons unknown,
to the jury" and an attempt was made |
to arrest Stansifer, who, however, left
the city Immediately, thereby strength /
ening the suspicion as to his knowf- |
edge of the mystery. About three |
months since, we published the second /
chapter of this afair-being the iden- |
LITIGATION of the murdered girl by her |
aged mother; and in this connection |
we can give yet another, chapter of |
this long drawn story IN the matter |
of the arrest of the man Stansifer, !
alias $ Ole Bull"
5 AT a late hour of Saturday night,
,Siebert and Bierbaum ar
rested Tom. Leonard and an associate,
at Adleter's saloon, corner of Four

Dicion of. their being of the party of
