Beware ofOyertrading.

The United States Economist and Dry
Goods Reporter, of the oath, contains a
long and well considered article on the
Commercial prospects in the fall. 1t
refers to the large crops, the liquida-
tion of old debts and other circum
stances indicating good business, but
adds caution, which VIC will give in
its own language:
"The liability to rash extension of
credits must, however, be reckoned
among the dangers of the Fall trade.
In the present position of our industries,
nothing could be more unfortunate
than season of over-trading. The at
tendant demand for goods would check
the natural downward tendency of
prices, and might induce an actual
raise in values, to be followed by n
violent decline and consequent check
to business. Those who are disposed
to push business in this imprudent
manner may rest assured of one thing;
the banks and other lenders are fully
awake to this tendency, and will do
nothing to countenance it; so that it
may be taken for granted that it may
be taken for granted that it would be
taken for goods than to dispose OF the
paper made against the sales"
We do not pretend to indicate what
will be the actual result of the Fall
trade, so far as respects profits. Were
it safe to rely upon the general pru-
dence of men of business, there could
be but little risk in predicting gener-
ally profitable trade. Were domestic
manufacturers to limit themselves to Il
strictly moderate production, there can
be little doubt that they would be able
to command remunerative prices for
their goods; for the demand con-
sequent upon the large crops would
certainly place the market to n large
extent under their control. Job
bars, however, have their misgivings
upon this point. They expect
that the encouraging prospects
of trade will induce manufacturers to
their utmost capaity, and hence are
buying only "from hand to mouth"
This mistrust respecting the action of
manufacturers, unless removed by un-
mistakable signs of their moderation,
will operate against their interests and
keep business unnecessarily backward.
The imports of dry goods have been
thus far strictly moderate, so that job
bers show little hesitation in buying
fair amount of goods; and prices are
constantly upon scale to leave fair
percentage of profit"

The Palace of Tervueren, where the
Empress Carlotta of Mexico is residing,
belongs to the Belgian State domain,
and was placed by law at the disposal
of the royal family. Before the revo-
luton of 1880 it was occupied part of
the year by the Princes of the House of
Orange, and has been preserved in the
same state. The furniture has not been
changed, and visitors are still shown
the splendid ballroom and the apart
ments of the family of Holland.

A very curious incident occurred in
the survey ofthe'Iron Mountain Road
in the cypress swamps Of Southeast
Missouri. The engineers having orders
to locate their surveys ID con-
nection with the United States land
surveys, had occasion to search for
marks of record made years ago IN the
swamps. The land surveyors had mark
ed the results Of their work by cutting
into the body of tree, leyeling off a
smooth surface Of the trunk. and en-
crossing their record on the tablet
thus prepared. The engineer found the
trees of the old survey. and recognized
the scar Of former cuttings, but to
reach the records ware compelled te
cut into the trees again. New wood
had grown up over the old record, com.
pletely hiding and protecting 1t. But
after cutting into the body down to the
original tablet, they found the surveyors
record as plain and distinctas when FIRST
made. i6"o.it' I,

the sURRATT CASE.

From some expressions used by Mr.. Pier
ppnt, one of the Government attorneys
on the motion TO set aside the panel o,
jurors in the case Of John Surratt, we are
likely TO have some light thrown upon 'ae
assassination conspiracy which will not be
rehshed by those who have assertedthe in.
noeepse Of the late Mrs Sarratt. Hesaid
Before this trial is concluded the defense
will discover that the United States is rs
earnest IN this matter as the other side. and
the public mind viii be set right on subjects
about which there have been many rumors
and untounded reports. Since be had been
IN the city, he had heard it said that Surrau
was not to be tried; and it is'sad that they
would not dare to bring the assassin OF tie
President to Justice and it has been freely
circulated that Ritter a former TRIAL, men Of
high and prominent position kept the Presi>
denttfom the exercise of clemency: while
the truth is-and it is the truth Of record
which will be produced here--that all that
was done on that former trial received the
sanction of the President and his Cabinet.
and that the matter was fully discussed for
end against the prisoner. He would assure
the coussel tpr the defense that the prosecu
ton was ready and anxious to go TO a speed
trial, and TO meet all these points
As the trial Of John Surratt has now com
menced, the public will be speedily pu, IN
possession Of all the facts of the conspiracy
with which It is not already familiar

Tux funeral Of the late Attorney General
Bissell occurred at Dubuque Friday last.
All classes united in paying the last sad tri
butte to the honor OF the great and good man
whose sudden death has cast shadow over
all who knew hun. At the age Of forty seven
he was called away, leaving three young chill
dren in orphanage While friends are mourn
ing his loss, politicians are anxious TO know
who Gov. Stone will appoint as his successor
Major o Common, of Muscstine, and o. p.
Shiras, law partner of the late Attorney Gen
eral, are urged for the position. Mr.. Shirss
was, at the time of his partners death, dis
charging the duties Of the office, aud should
he be continued the State, we think, will
have no cause for regret, He is IN all re-
spects worthy to be Mr. Bissell's successor.

Of the General Land Office has been issued

acres The lands IN Ohio, Indiana, and H.
lipois, once part Of the national territory,
have nearly all passed INTO individual
ownership. The unsold lands are divided in
to ten surveying departments, with sixty. one
districts, each one being supplied with reg
lister and receiver. The lands which have
already been surveyed amount to 474, 100. 55l
acres, leaving unsurveyed 991 1903, 249 acres
During the last fiscal year the sales Of tbs
public land amounted 10 3Ss, 29i acres the
locations for military bounty covered 40s, lSt
acres; AND the total quantity taken under the
Homestead Act for actual settlement was +,
1872, ole acres. Titles vested uuder railroad
