TRADE CIRCULAR.

PHILADELPHIA, August l9.-We take pleasure
I'm referring our customers and the trade in gene
raj 10 our circulars of late years. particularly to
those issued since January lst 1886 In that of
February 25th last, we gave resume OF the
state of the Old Rye Whisky Market of 1856,
together with our opinion as to the prospects
for that of this year. While stating the fact of
the great scarcity of Fine Rye WhslKles, pos
sessing three years age and upwards, we made
the remark "that such goods must go higher
and higher until they cease TO erist" Although
thus sanguine at that time, we confess that the
results have far exceeded our utmost expecta-
tions.
In our last Circular (June lst) we noted an ap-
probation from 25th OF February in Fine

Telegrsphic Communication Established
by Key West and Havana.

Key WEST, Fla, August 1s.-After many dis
heartening difficulties and persistent but for
time unrewarded labors, the lost Cuba cable
has been recovered. The cable steamer, after
having been engaged for several days in drag
ging with grapnels in the vicinity of the place
where the cable parted which was marked out
by buoys placed Immediately after parting, was
finally rewarded to-day by fastening to 1t. 1t
was dragged to the surface amid the cheers of
those engaged in the work, and firmly secured,
The weather being favorable, perfect splice
was made, and the stout line was again COM
mitted to the deep. On being tested it was
found perfect throughout Its entire length.
Communications are now passing through it
between Havana and this point.

Money is in more demand, and under the con.
tinued demand for currency from the West banks are
disposed to great caution and demand higher interest
which IS readily had from all borrowers Call loans
are quoted 5@e. with exceptions on Govern
ments. Commercial paper passes at e@7 tor best

Speculation in the stock market continues to
droop and az the reduced prices there Is no Increase
of buyers. The market is in full control of ciques
which have loaded themselves In the belief that good
crops and cheap money would stimulate speculatons
TO the degree of activity shown while paper money
being Issued by the million daily. Their hopes
with regard to the crops and money have been more
than realized but instead of growing speculative
feeling in the community great prudence prevails.
II begins to be seen that the payment of the com
pound otes Is contraction which impars the profits
of banking, and that it will steadily reduce bank
credits and raise the price of money"

THE LOVED NOT LOST.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

How strange it seems with so much gone
Of life and love, to still live on i7 T.
All, brother. only and thou
Are left of all that circle now
The dear home faces whereupon
That fitful freight paled and shone,
Henceforward, hasten as we will,
The voices Of that hearth are still;
Look where we may the wide earth DER
Those lighted faces shine no more.
We tread the paths their feet hath worn,
We sit beneath the orchard trees,
We hear like them the hum of bees
And rustic of the bladed corn;
We turn the pages they have read,
Their written words we hnger Ger
But in the sun they cast no shade,
No voice is heard. no sign is made,
No step is on the conscious floor! 'l d.
Yet love will dream, and faith will trust
Since he who knows our need is just,
That somehow, somewhere, meet we must
The stars shine through the cypress trees
Where hopeless he lays his head away,
Nor looks 20 see the breaking day
Across the mournful marbles play! ~
Who hath not learned in hours of faith,
The truth to flesh and sense unkno own,
That Life is ever Lord of Death,
And love can never lose its own!

The Ruling Passion Strong in Death.

! The proprietor of chateau, in the
neighborhood of Cassel, died a short
time since, and his remains, amid a
wide spread grief, were lowered into the
family vault, and deposited in sarco-
phagus in the subterranean chapel,
Epending the completion of certain oper-
ations necessary to prepare the place
destined to receive the coffin. The
deceased had owned hound, to which
he was particularly y attached, and Lucy
returned his affection with double inter
est. At the death of her master, the
poor beast would not quit his death
Fchamber and was seen on the morrow,
with head bowed down and eye mourn
full and sad, following with measured
steps the funeral cortege, accompanying
to its last resting place the body of him
| of whom she had been SO fond After
the ceremony, when the friends and
eighbors had retired the outlets of the
vault were carefully closed and for a
time no one thought of Lucy, but when
at length they sought her she could not
be found, Notwithstanding the active
search made all over. the estate. The
servant specially charged with the care
of the kennel suggested that, as Lucy
was with young, she had been prostrat-

were sent for to complete the details of

the lapse of ten days that they could
get to the tomb. The first visit to the
remains of one so justly lamented was
made with ceremonious solemnity.
But what spectacle presented itself to
the gaze of the visitors The pail had
been pulled off, the lid of the coffin had
been torn open, and upon the breast of
the deceased there lay another corpse,
that of poor Lucy, who, without doubt,
after having borne her litter had come
to die, upon the body of her master. In
