The Wilmington (Del.) Commercial gives as
the general estimate that at least thirty per
cent of the men recently employed in the
leather manufactures of Wilmington have
been discharged. Many Of the'fiIm are shut
ting down o.: the manufacture of stock. 1t is
said that one of the largest firms in the city
has issued orders that no more skins be pre-
pared for manufacture at the present. Most
of the firms have large stocks on hand. W hieh
they desire to sell off before manufacturing
more.
The Troy Press says that the stove trade of
that city begins to decline little, but the
opinion of the manufacturers concerning
its canse and the future prospects vary. Some
of the shops are running on half or three-quar-
tiers time, while some of the largest concerns
say that they are running on full time, and
will continue to run so for the present. One
prominent manufacturer stated that the sales
of his house for the last fifteen days were more
than double the sales for the corresponding
period of last year.
The Philadelphia North american commends
highly the course of the Cambria Iron Com
pany, which has just announced that it pro-
poses to retain the six thousand hands entered
on its pay-rolls, and to keep them at work even
though there has been an almost entire cessa-
ton of orders. And as the scarcity Of currency
prevents Tor tne moment Tue obtaining OF the
small notes required for payments they have
arranged to the satisfaction of the men that for
the present every article required by them
shall he furnished in kind
The Cincinnati Enquirer of Sunday seems to
regard the prospect in that city as rather
gloomy. 1t says; ''Ibe banks have resumed
payment, but the workshops have not resumed
work. and not only are mechanics thrown out
of employment, but workers ia every branch
including porters, draymen, clerks, and labor
ers, and the reduction commenced then has
steadily been continued up to last night
Persons acquainted with the condition of oul
labor market have variously estimated the re-
duction at from thirty-three to fifty per cent
The lowest of these would make the number OF
persons ont of employment at something like
$4,000. But this is certainly too high an esti-
mate
The New Haven papers state that the greater
part of the varied manufacturing enterprises in
that city will continue to run from half to two
thirds time.

SILVER PAYMENTs.-The New York Assay
Office, which nas ST. 600 900 in silver bullion, has
received orders to make it available as far as
practicable in carrying out the project of the
Treasury Department for silver resumption.
II e officers of the Philadelphia mint have been
instructed to use two thirds of it's entire capaci-
ty in the coinage of silver, until otherwise or
dered Under this arrangement the mint can
turn out from S1,OOO,OOO to $1,50O,000 per
month. 1t is thought at the Assay Office that
with this system the exchange of silver for
greenbacks may be accomplished within thirty
days, as but comparatively small number OF
greenbacks would be presented for such ex
change. Silver will be in request in many
parts of the country, however, as soon as it
ceases to bear premium. Al least 100000
in silver will then 20 to Texas, where it is
wanted to move the cotton crop. Many large
orders for silver as soon as it is at par with
greepbacks have been received by bankers, not
only from Texas, but from large manufacture
ers in other parts of the West, who want it for
the payment oftheir workmen, and also from
the proprietors of several New York hotels,
who desire 1t for a similar object.

AN ENTERPRIsING LOCAL "A correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Gazette tells very anus
ing anecdote about former city editor of the
Enquirer, named Bennett, which illustrates a
phase OF journalistic enterprise never known
in New England, but which was common
enough at the West when Artemus Ward was
local on Cleveland newspaper, and Mark
Twain was gatherer of river news on the Ohio.
When news was scarce, Bennett was in the
habit of inventing extraordinary items for his
department. a favorite resource being to make
children fall from the Newport ferry-boat, into
the river, and to have them rescued by his ac-
ouaintances. He had honored one Mr.. Kel-
lum Celia Burleigh's first husband) several
times in this way, when the fictitious savior of
drowning in. ocents became tired OF the JOKE
aud at last called at the Enquirer Office and de-
manded that it should not be repeated. He
was assured that his request would be complied
with; and so it was in its letter, but hardly in
its spirit, for the next day the Enquirer con-
tanned a paragraph to the effect that beauti-
full little girl, the daughter of a prominent cit
izen of Newport, had fallen from the ferry
boat into the river, aud that Mr.. Kellum, who
was standing by and could easily have saved
tho child from watery grave, refused to rem
der the least assistance. When Kelum, boil
ing with rage, went to the Enquirer to seek an
explanation of what he had begun to regard in
the light of persecution, his threats of ven
geauce were suddenly stopped by Benefits
taking off his coat and coolly saying: You re
not bad fellow in your way, Kelum, but |
can't stand any interference with my depart
ment. 1t l make any statement in the En-
dieting it. That isn't journalism, you see, and
it must he put stop to at any price" KEEL

men remained friends until Benefits DEATH
