New York Dry Goods Market.

There was decline in cotton of about half cent pound, resulting from the little furry of war but as the decline was accidental, and not likely to continue, 1t has had no influence whatever on the market values of domestic cotton fabrics which are generally higher than last weeks prices. The agents have advanced the prices of standard sheetings centJa yard, and corresponding rise in most descriptions of other cottons has been established. The transactions of the week were, perhaps, less active than the week before, and most of the deliveries were on account of previous engage ments. But there is steadily increas- ing business, and anything like an ,ac: cumulation of4stock in first hands is not likely to take place until the bulk of the spring purchases shall have been com pleted.
 Woolens have been in less active de- mand, with the exception of fannels, for which there is an increasing inquiry and steady advance of prices.
 Unbleached sheetings and shlrtings of all the leading makes find ready pur- chasers at current rates but the demand for these is less active. An advance of ] cent on most of the standards took place. N. 7. Popes. ...

MINE Aco1DENT.-A Scranton, Penn, letter says terrible accident occurred at the Pyne shaft. A miner named Rees James fell down the shaft, one hun dred and fifty feet, and was killed. Pyne shaft is situated three miles from this city, back of Taylorville. The company began sinking it last spring, and are rapidly reaching the coal. Three s'shifts'' are at work daily, three men on each ssshift." They are hoisted up and down in 8 wooden bucket by steam. Blasting is continually going on. When the ac- cident occurred, the last three men had just fired three blasts, and were rapidly brought to the surface to escape the flying rocks. The men, with thelr feet in the bucket and firm hold of the hoisting rope, reached the top of the shaft in safety. Their bodies were above the surface, when, by the merest acci- dent, it struck the platform, the jar tilt ing it on it's side. Two of them clung to the rope, but Reese James, becoming confused, let go his hold and fell down to the bottom of the shaft. As he struck on the rocks below, the three blasts sim ultaneously exploded, scattering the poor mans remains in the shaft. When the smoke cleared away his companions descended the shaft to recover what they possibly could find of his body. James was forty years of age, married man, with a family of two children.

 ~ Letter. Writing.

soul of wit. But, alasl how little that terse expression is appreciated-unheeded by the world ifi general and women in particular. Half the sermons miss their mark by being too loeq. Lawyers, now and then lose 8 case by becoming too long:wipded, and parents and guardians not unfrequently foyer reach their good intentions by haranguing their charges beyond their endurance.
 But that in which brevity shineJ out most charmingly is in letter writing. Men, however lengthly they be of speech, rarely write long letters, and particularly on matters of business. But women al- ways do.
 E If the letter is to her own dear, dar- ling Charlie or Harry, of course there is nothing to be said. But if only letter to friend, it is supposable that one good sized sheet of note paper will contain all the gossip, news, and affection of three months collecting.
 Notes on business should always be as much to the point as possible and in the fewest words that can be made to expuess their object.
 If lady wishes to borrow certain book from 8 friend, in all probability she will cover half sheet of paper in com monplaees before mentioning the real object of her note. s .i.-, -..-
 The writer's object is to obtain the desired book, and the fact that she has mentioned the state of. the weather, and recoHnted the precise stage of mas cold and the baby's teeth, will in ID wise facilitate her object. She might just as well condense the lengthy and loving epistle into i: ...... DEAR JULIA
 Will you do me the favor to lend me a vol, of so-and-so. and oblige
 Your afectionate friend, -.
 And save her own time and that of the person addressed. Young ladies, par ticularly when fresh from boarding school, rejoice in composing and writing long letters. Who, indeed, has not heard the remark, s have just written eight pages''' to. dear Maria Ann ?. Now, if Maria Ann was sensible girl, it is quite possible she just glanced at the fearful thing, and laid it aside as too great 8 waste of time to indulge in. s Young ladies may rest assured that there is no habit more conducive to tediousness than that of stringing-ou narration.
 If 8 woman is prosy in her youth, what will she be in her old age ?.
 It is, also, welle to remember that, in talking as well as in writing, brevity car ries a charm. The wittiest things on record have been expressed in very few words.

Means What He Says.

Though combinations strong as proofs of Holy Writ" and as numerous as the sands on the sea shore, were pro- duced to prove that Dr. Pierce, the pro- prietor of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, is in earnest and maea,as what he says, when he offers $500 reward for any case of Catarrh which he can not cure, yet there would be some skeptics and fogies, who would continue to shout "Hun6ug /" Humbug II" "It cannot be, because Dr. Homespun says Catarrh cannot be cured" Now, this Dr. Homespun is the identical, good natured old fellow who honestly believes and persists in declar- ing that this earth is not round or sphe- ricai, but fiat as C slap -iaek'' and does not turn over, otherwise the water would all be spilled out of Deacon Bascom's mill-pond. But astronomical science has positively demonstrated and proven that lDr. Homespun is wrong in supposing this earth to be flat and stationary, and medical science is progressive-the opin- ion of Dr. Homespun to the contrary notwithstanding That Dr. Sage's Ga tarrh Remedy will cure Catarrh, thou sands who have used it attest.
 Then buy it. and use it, in doubt do not stand, You will find it in drug stores all over the land.

 While pain IS condition of human ity, every effort to ameliorate it's inten- sity, or remove the predisposing cause, sideration, and it's success our frank acknowl- edgment. There is pecuiarity about the sensation called pain which is of infinite service It is premonition of impending ill, a declara- tion of war against the well being of the body which cannot be removed while the cause exists. Remove the cause, and the effect will cease, endeavor to cover up the efect, and the cause will be intensified, the anguish temporarily concealed, break forth again with redoubled after repeated trials, fail to satisfy the condi- tions upon which only can they be useful to humanity.

4 Terrible Scene.

At the Alton Railroad disaster the fol- lowing sad scene was noted:
 sSo sudden, so violent and unexpected was the shock the occupants of the car,
 who bad escaped without serious bodily injuries, were totally incapable of extri- eating themselves from the debris of the car destroyed. To add to the, horror of the scene an alarm Of fire was raised. The fragments of the baggage car were ,already in a fight blaze, the shattered timber of the passenger car was on fire, and the pinloned passengers unable to help themselves, were crying piteously forsassistance when there was none to Ihelp. A few who had escaped without bodily harm now returned'and put forth almost superhuman efforts to rescue their fellow travellers from the impending doom. There was not an axe or any implement with which to cut away the parts of the car which imprisoned the victims. Some were hauled out with broken legs, some with broken arms, and one had his collar bone and jaw fractured, while others were pulled from the wreck with sc-rched limbs, and covered with blood streaming from frightful wounds. The fire blazed up and spread with greatrapidity. The cries of the helpless persons still in the wreck became heart.rend ng. One of the persons who was burned in the wreck was caught across the thighs by some part of the car. Two of the passen- gers who had escaped went to his assist ance and were endeavoring to relieve him when the flames leaped out, burning their hands and forcing them to abandon the unfortunate man to his fate. Six of the passengers who had suffered severe injuries were rescued with considerable difficulty after the fire had broken out 1; some of them were quite severely burned.

THE tone of the latest discussion of the Alabama difficulty, both in England and in this country, give some reason to hope that the misunderstanding which has arisen may be so managed as not to de- stroy the Treaty. The people of both countries are much more sensible and moderate than some of their assumed leaders. They would like. to see the present difficulties settled honorably and peaceably. That is their main idea-and under these circumstances it would be great pity and great shame if so great a Treaty should be lost, unless frem ab- solute necessity.-N 7. Paper. .-s.

MEDICINE FOR THE HAIR.-When the hair comes off by handfulls and badness seems in- evitable, it is proof that disease and debility have affected the roots, and that medication is necessary. The only restorative in such cases is PHALON'S CHEMICAL HAIR INVIGORA- TOR, which, during the last forty years, has done more to prevent the loss of the hair, to renew it when thinning out, to preserve its color, health and general vigor, and to render glory of both sexes, than all other preparations pretending to the same properties, brought out during that long interval.
