Great Revival Of Business-ProsDects Of q
Brisk Season.

Brisk Season.
While the politicians are doing their best 70
unsettis the public mind and to lead the ccuu-
try into new complications and difficulties, the
great tide Of business and general prosperity
is flowing steadily onward, increasing In
volume and force az 1t proceeds. From every
quarter the Indications reach US Of q won
derful revival Of trade, not ephemeral In
its character, but based upon the solid
foundation of bountiful crops and an unusually
favorable season in which to harvest them and
secure the wealth they represent. New York,
"a the centre of the commerce of the Union,
is, of course, the first to feel in marked degree
this onward stride in the national prosperity.
The great activity apparent on our docks and
In all our large importing houses Is only the
precursor Of q rush Of business that will soon
be felt in all branches of trade, wholesale and
retail, throughout the country. Every railroad
train that arrives In the city brings Its full load
of passengers; the hotels are crowded to over
flowing and the clerks in the jobbing houses
are beginning to find as much work on their
hands as they can we'll attend to. The daily
of our country customers, after purchasing
their goods, visiting our churches and Sabbath
schools, and seeing the Black Crook, depart for
their rural homes only to make way for other
thousands who arrive hourly to take their
places in the stream Of business and pleasure
constantly flowing through the metropolis
The advertising columns of the HERALD-the
true business barometer of the country-afford
a fair indication of the extent of this great
revival Our advertisements at this time are
more numerous than in the corresponding sea-
son Of any former year. While this is in some
degree owing to the fact that the HERALD has
now become the medium through which princ-
pals transact their business directly, without
the Intervention of middlemen or agents, the
extraordinary number and variety of the ad-
vertisements to be found in our columns afford
unmistakable evidence Of a fall season brsker
than any We have had since the termination of
the war.
This happy state of affairs is beneficial in an
infinite number Of ways. Money is plentiful
everywhere, and full pockets make men good
Christians, promote tho public health, extend
life and foster morality. No person cares how
many blunders Johnson may commit, or heeds
the wild rawlings ofcrazy radicals, 80 long as he
has all his debts paid and plethoric purse in
his possession. What fear Of cholera or yellow
fever, or any other epidemic, when men have
all they can eat and drink, plenty of amuse-
ment, ready cash at their bankers and no care
on their minds! The more widespread the
general prosperity, the greater the blessing to
the nation. If the railroads are amassing fabu-
lous wealth, think of the delightful prospect
that opens before the eyes Of expectant legisla-
tors and anxious lobbymen. If the farmers
find their granaries filed to overlooking, with
brisk demand and good prices for their pro-
duce, imagine the happiness of rural wives and
daughters in prospective visits to New York
and increased stores of the latest Paris fashions.
AS natural accompaniment Of the great
revival Of business come corresponding life
and vigor iato the drama, the opera, the con-
cert and every species Of amusement. Ristori
will be here to delight the intelligent with
her wonderful genius Strakosch may visit US
and bring home to her American admirers the
charming Adelina Patti Bateman will make
q new sensation with his operate troupe.
Stuart, Brougbam, Wallack and other man.
ayers will feel the impetus and give US grand
revival OF the Legitimate drama The people
will flock to the theatres and the halls, pleased
with themselves and all the world. A social
millennium is at hand, during which the demon
Of care will be bound hand and foot, and
pleasure, enjoyment, good will and prosperity
will reign triumphant Who knows but that
Johnson and the radicals may yet jingle their
glasses together in good fellowship, and even
Greeley and Thurlow Weed kiss and be
friends
