business ReviVInK In New York
Trade Lively. .


The amount OF sales among all
branches of trade average thirty per
cent beyond those Of last fall and fully
ltty per cent beyond those OF the spring.
AS yet they have been chiefly confined
to Northern and Western buyers; but
the Southwestern men are coming on
and purchasing to the extent OF nearly
double the amounts OF lust year. Their
action ls based on the heavy cotton
crop. The large dealers axe having the
advantage over the small ones, especI-
ally In dry goods. They are giving
longer credits, and monopolIzlng the
bulk OF the business. Cash sales at
thirty days are less the rule than OF late
since the war. aud IN approach to the
old terms OF eight, twelve and eighteen
months credit iS being made. not only
on the really granting OF four months,
but increasing the time TO six, adding
interest for tho extra two months.

Andy johnson tho Under Dog.
WASHINGTON, Sep. II.
Advices from Tennessee, from trust-
worthy sources, indicate that formid-
able opposition is concentrating against
Andrew Johnson, rendering his elec.
tiOn 10 the Senate very uncertain, II
not impossible. The fact that his elec-
ton would give both Senators, the Gov
ernOr, Secretary OF State and Superin-
tGndant of Education to East Ten nessee
will unite tho strength OF Middle and
West Tennessee In support Of repre-.
sentative man from one or the
other OF the latter sections. II appears
that East Tennessee has always
had more than her proportion OF
public oGliCes, and her support OF
johnson, IL IL believed, will be a signal
for his defeat. The old line Wing ele-
meut, az represented by the Nashville
Banner and the politicians who fre-
quent Washington, denounces john
sons attack upon General Grant, aud
rCmInds the rebel soldlery OF Grants
maRuanimlLy Ut the time Of Lees sur
render as a reason why they should not
countenance johnson in Insulting ne
President. The quarrel between the
Democrats and old line WhlgS Is repre-
sented to be tisrcely waged, and it Is
thought must result TO the disadvantage
OF Johnson's supporters, particularly as
he recent Massachusetts ana Missouri
Democratic platforms propose TO aban-
don obsolete Issues, and 10 fight no
moro battles with wIndmIlls.

MAINE ELECTION.
Tho Usual Result Probable.

PORTLAND, ME, Sept. 13.
The election was very quiet. The
vote will probably be smaller than last
year, but the parties will be relatively
nearly the same as then. The Hich-
born ticket takes of less than ten per
cent Of the Republican vote In places
heard from, which will not be enough
TO defeat an election by the people.

Poetry.


They wreathed her brow with lilies pale,
And roses white, as in death she lay;
Her eyes are closed in long, long sleep, =
Never, no never more to weep;
Lightly folded on her pulseless breast, -
Lie her cold white hands in quiet rest.
Twas Spring-in Mays soft sunny hours,
When earth was arrayed in the first sweet flowers
4 saw in her bower this maiden fair, +.
With blossoms twined in her soft brown hair;
Kadiantly beautiful, joyous and gay,
No bird was happier on that bright spring day.
A manly form was by her side,
Handsome and gay in youthful pride;
Y! his words were very soft and low, =
Telling of love that no change could know;
Telling to her the same sweet story,
That man tells to woman the wide world over
But alas that the slanderer's evil tongue,
Should seek the innocent to wrong;
That basest falsehoods artfully told, g
By friends that were false and enemies bold
Should have blighted her life in its early bloom,
And laid her down in the silent tomb.
Aye, her life was pure as the beautiful snow,
But envy and SANDER hath laid her low;
And the one that had vowed mid the bright May
flowers, 1906
To shield her through life's dark trying hours,
Left her alone in sorrow and tears
Though they had loved for many years
And he married another-a beauty bright
With curs as black as the dark midnight;
With eyes as bright as the stars that shine;
And lips as red as the ruby wine iesfi 2
And her wealth-its value could scarce be told
Houses and land and silver and gold
And the maiden dropped and pined away,
Her cheeks grew paler day by day;
Now all that remains of her once proud fame,
Is broken heart and blighted name,
And lonely grave meath white-rose tree,
Marks the spot where she resteth quietly
