and half million and decrease of ten mil

the one side and decrease on the other would
make in the whole year change of $751; ,G0O,-
600 in the balance of trade-which is more
than the entire balance against us in the year
ended with June, 1872. The exports from
Boston up to last Friday were $l4, 3i9,3O2,
ard the imports $26, 982, $40; the former item
showing gain of four and half millions,
the latter loss of one and Il half. At this
time last year the exports from Boston were
but thrtytwo per cent. Of the imports this
year they are almost exactly fifty per cent.
The gain in New York has been forty-.hrec to
sixty per per, There is hardly anything that
shows so large falling Off as foreign dry
goods. The total values Of such good entered
at New York is not only smaller this year than
last, but it is actually below that of 1871, the
totals for the five months being fifty eight and
a half millions in 1873, against nearly seven
ty millions in 1872, and sixty-one millions and
quarter in 1871. This shows that our deal
ers are cautious in buying, and also that We
are using more largely the goods made in this
country,--two facts which are greatly in our
favor"

The report circulated by one Of the Boston
evening papers that the Hoosac tunnel had
been discovered to be too low for the passage
of trains and that the Messrs. Shanly proposed
to stand suit rather than to carry the contrac,
through, as interpreted by the Governor and
council, and that special message was in
preparation upon the subject, proves to have
been made out of whole cloth. There is not
a shadow of truth in the report.

President MacMahon is subjected to
some unfavorable comments by reason OF
his connection with the army. The sug.
gestion is made in some quarters that he
may prove another General Monk. Hay
lug the sword in his hands he may use ii
rather than relinqaish the power conferred
upon him. Personally he is popular. A
writer speaks of him rs follows:
ut is not going too far TO say that he is the
most popular man in the country. He lives a
retired, transformations life, and though he
displayed extraordinary pomp when sent few
years ago on an embassy TO Prussia, his man
ners are nnpretending, and his dress plain.
lie seldom appears in uniform, and the only
marx OF distinction he wears is the red ribbon.
His marked characteristics are love of chill.
dren and fondness for study He made his
triumphal entry into Milan with little girl
VINO had offered him nosegay, perched upon
ms holsters. He is probably as well versed
IN military history as Faidherk, and is often
busy with child and map upon his knees.
His fayorite amusement is riding. In society
he is shy, almost sad and seems i'll at ease.
He likes to saunter about the bouyelard. with
his hands in his pockets and cigar eternally
in his mouth when he is not on horseback,
and he is seen TO most advantage at home sur

The late Lieutenant Governor OF the
province of Nova Scotia, Hon Joseph
Howe, was the son Of Boston printer,
who betook himself to Halifax after the
Revolution because of his Toryism. While
we canno! look with any favor upon the
fathers principles as Tory, we must ac-
knowledge that the son was an accom-
plished man and statesman, and might
have done credit to Boston as to Halifax.

The Journal and others of the Boston papers
say it is very evident that the city of Boston
will be obliged to pass an ordinance prohibit
ing the use of large buildings for mechanical
purposes in the heart of the city. The danger
from fire is too great to be tolerated. For
other reasons, also, it is obvious that one of
these days the large manufacturing houses in
Boston that still keep their workshops in the
city, will feel compelled to remove them to
other localities. They can obtain rent, power
labor, cheaper and better in smaller places
than they can in Boston, more than enough to
balance the cost of transportation and other
items in favor of their present location. Rail
roads and steamboats, revolutionize business.
Business will so where it can be done best
and cheapest The towns which can show
small debts, moderate taxes, and low rents,
will make large gains, in the next twenty-five

The San Francisco Bulletin Of May 26
publishes special reports from the most inn
portant grain growing points in California
about the condition of the crops, aud says:
These reports are, upon the whole, much
more favorable than was anticipated three
weeks ago. With three or four inches more
OF rain coming late in the season, we should
have had the largest wheat harvest ever
known in the State. The shriakagc from
drouth is matter OF conjecture. The area
OF land sown to small grains was larger than
ever sown before, and this excess will 70
some way toward making up the aggregate
dehclency IN amount as compared with the
wheat crop OF last year. 1t is to be noted
that The failure this year is just where good
or snort crop tells strongly on the aggregate
result VIZ. The San Joaquin Valley. And
yet the reports from some parts of ,hi. dis
tric' are OF an encouraging character. The
favorable weather could not quite bring out
the crops in this valley. But it has saved
partially or wholly large districts even there.
Many believe that taking into consideration
the greater area sown, the aggregate wheat
crop will not fall below that Of last year, II
il reaches three fourths of as much as the
crop OF 1919 We sDOCLi ne more tNAn Et1i t.

The Boston Advertiser says ''our foreign
trade is exhibiting precisely the features that
ought to give satisfaction TO all who have the
commercial prosperity OF the country at
heart. Our Imports ere falling off and our
exports are largely increasing. The same
state Of things is observable at all the large
ports of the country, but it may be seen clear

shows that the exports thus far have been of

have reached the value of = lSG, 2G4 ,579. This
