THE DRY GOODS MARKET.-The financial
arrangements OF the week under review had a
depressing influence upon the dry goods trade.
Happily, towards the close of the week, better
feeling obtained, and as breadstuffs, provisions
and cotton began to be shipped, confidence be-
came more general on the part of both sellers
and buyers, merchants became treasured of the
exceptionally sound condition of the trade, and
buyers were less timid in mourning fresh obliga-
tons. The monetary panic has not had the
slightest effect upon the values of dry goods,
holders knowing, and buyers believing, that at
current rates both cotton and woollen fabrics
are as low as can be expected under the exist
ing condition of stocks and the ruling prices for
the staples. The Glenham Woollen Company
suspended, with liabilities of about 5000, 600,
and although rumors of other failures were re .
ported, they are entirely groundless, and were
circulated maliciously.
The imports of foreign dry goods for the week
were considerably greater than during the cor
responding weeks of the two previous years.
Business during the week was less active than
of late, but there was an undertone of activity,
which but waited the subsistence of the fnan-
cial disturbances and the renew al of confidence,
in order 10 stimulate a brisk movement in i'm
ported fabrics. Values were not in the least
degree unsettled by the money panic. There
was no extreme pressure to sell, and goods of a
desirable character were firmly held by both
the importers and jobbers at the opening rates
of the season.-N. y. DAILY Balletin.

CONSOLIDATION AT BosToN.-The commits
sioners on annexation in Boston have reported
in favor of consolidating Boston, Charlestown,
Brighton, Brookline and West Roxbury under
one municipal government. This would in
crease the area of Boston from 1888 acres to
22,9S3k acres, or a little over one-fourth the
acreage of Philadelphia. Each town will vote
separately ON the question of annexation to Bos-
ton, and the citizens of the latter city on the
separate questions of the annexauon of each OF
the towns. majority in each place and in
Boston will decide the question of consolidation,
without regard to the votes as to other places 50
that some may be annexed and others rejected.
A minority Of the commission reported in oppo-
sition to the annexation of Charlestown, and il
Is opposition in Boston. The scheme of consoIi-
dation is advocated chiefly because under it the
sanitary condition of the several places could be
unifor mly guarded by one board of health; there
could be one system of sewage and one of water
supply for all, and the purity of the water used
by Boston could be better guarded under one
municipal government than under the present
separate ones.

4 whole library of literature about an
Gent Troy, and about the character of the
Had, and about Homer himself, has dis
appeared in presence of the excavations
now being carried ON by Mr.. Schliemann, in
Asia Minor. No longer can there be sny
doubt Of Troy's existence or location. No
longer can the IIiad be regarded as ficti
tious or as symbolical narrative No longer
will the personality of Homer be lost in the
chaotic mass of the HOmerid@. Mr.. Schlie-
mann has begun the work of resurrec.ing
Troy. He has identified places by their
correspondence with the Typographical des-
criptions of the Ilisd. he is confident he
bias found the high-towered portals of the
temple wherein sat the council OF Trojan
elders on the day of the duel between Paris
and Menelaus. Troy appears again, while
those who have denied its existence dissp-
pear and quietly pass into limbo.

Our YOUNG Folks.
BnILLTANTs ANDTHETR BEARE


BRILLTANTS AND THEIR BEARERS.
Agnes Sorel, the favorite of Charles vi
of France is said to have been the first
noblewoman who wore q diamond neck
lace, the art of cutting and polishing dia-
monds being almost unknown till her
time. 1t is said this necklace, or carcanet,
as it vas called, was so heavy and uncom-
Portable that Agnes Sorel only wore it on
state occasions. She, however, popularizsd
this style, and diamonds soon became all the
rage, and commanded fabulous prices. AS
there can be nothing permanent in this
world of shion, brilliants were, in time,
superseded by artistically wrought geld and
jewelry. Catharine de Medicis and Diana
de Poitiers brought pearls into vogue, and
diamonds were quite discarded until Mary
Stuart's marriage With Francis l, when
she brought some remarkable gems from
England, but after the unfortunate Queens
return to Scotland, subsequent to her young
husbands death pearls regained their su-
premacy. On the occasion of Marie de
Medici's coronation, all the ladies at the
court wore elegant head-dresses of pearls.
Under the reign of Louis XIV, precious
stones were brought in large quantities from
Persia and India, and were more generally
worn than ever before. Even the waists
and sleeves of dresses were trimmed-if
that term may be properly Used-with tur-
quoise and ruby passemeDterie aigrettes of
diamonds, not to speak of the enormous
and dazzling brilliant stomachers then in
vogue. Diamonds were displayed in almos-
incredible profusion, as buttons and studs
and pins; on the lids of snuff boxes and
jewel cases; on the handles of the whips,
parasols and swords, and the heads of
canes; and, above all, on the laced coats
of the courtiers. o-e
