LIFE SAVING AT NIAGARA.-In view of tn e
recent disaster at Niagara, the New York Post
suggests that something might be done to pre-
vent people from being swept over Niagara
Falls by stretching cable of some kind across
the river. This cable should be placed below
the point where any one would think of ventur-
ing on the river, unless bent On selfdestruction,
and should be strong enough to arrest the mo
ton OF boat when caught by the hands of
those in the boat 1t might be made of wire,
and attached to it by rings there might be a
rope, running to the shore and over windlass
Those caught in the current. if they succeed
IN grasping the cable, might fasten the rope to
the boat-ring and be drawn out by persons on
the shore. thus saving all their strength to pre-
vent being carried beyond the cable.

Tbs New York Bulletin regards the
dry goods trade as affording an excel
lent barometer of the general business
of the country, and says that from its
report during the past two weeks it re-
CARDS the prospects for the future as
most cheering. The trade has sustained
itself under the general pressure with
more stability than could have been ex-
pectsd. There have been occasional
reverses, but they have been exception
al, and business is fast recovering its
usual tone. As a rule, the dry goods
trade is the first to feel the effects of 3
financial disaster, and the last to recov-
ser from it. Fashion and wealth can
always contrive to satisfy the require
ments OF "society" and of the seasons;
bit the bulk of consumers, on whom
the u,Sde chiefly depends, are forced to
economic. When they are, by the
depIetion of their income, compelled
to press into continued service last
seasons coat, or hSt, or dress, the bust
ness is infallibly stagnaut and the facto'
ries are run on half time. But the pur
chases Of the discreet country dry goods
merchants and jobbers, who possess al
the facilities for accurate information al
TO the wants OF their customers anC
their means for gratifying them, show
that this danger no longer menaces Us
In their estimation the people now have
and will continue to have sufficient re-
sources TO make all their usual pur
ehases, provided there is no clog in the
mutual exchange Of product for product
This indication of prosperous and act
i've continuation of the fall trade may
be regarded as the first and best fruits o.
returning confidence.

FATHER CARY, Of st. Peters church,
full of life and vigor and earnest in the
cause 10 which he devoted himself, has

up in the far north when the terrible
disease made its appearance in Mem

the extra duties imposed on his fellow

tality among our Catholic telloW-citi-
zens, he returned promptly and entered

him. Surely to him, as to Father DAILY

os which must come to souls like theirs,
50 thoroughly in communion with
God. Their gam is our loss. We shall
miss th for their good works remain
to testify o. them. Father Cary was a
gentleman of .uuch personal refinement

devoted piety and strict attention to
duty. He was a worthy son Of the
church. a brave soldier Of the cross,

Swan was down stairs, and while talk

OUR coon sAMaRITANs.

Adversely tests the metal Of which
men are made, and the true soldier is as
faithful to his duties on the field of bat
tie as be is punetual st the mere formu-
la of the dress-psrsde. A great calam-
ity is a great solvent Of character. Like
the spear of Ithuriel, its touch transforms
the simulated angel into the ugly and
venomous toad, or brings out the pure
gold Of a manly heart from the mine
where, in prosperous times, it lay
quietly concealed. When Chicago,
visited by the fire-fiend, was pros
trated in ashes, the world was
made better by the grand exhibition Of
heartfelt sympathy and assistance,
which went out from all the cities of
ehristendom in behalf of the desolated
city, and now when Memphis mourns
over a worse calamity than even Chica-
go, renewed and substantial assurances
come to US from ali parts Of our country
proving that the principles of christian
charity sill link men together in a COM
mon brotherhood. Here at home, too,
we have abundant evidence of how no
bic men and women can become under
the crucial test of great
calamity. We are constantly hearing
of the neblest and most generous self
devotion, of the purest and most disin-
terested acts Of kindness and attention
TO the sick and dying-scts that may
never come TO light, but whose sweet
fragrance will ascend to the Almighty
Father, pleading in eloquent terms for
those whom the world has cast aside,
but whose gre t love is worthy Of great
mercy. To the clergymen Of all the
churches, and to the physicians Of the
city, Memphis owes debt of gratitude
which she can never pay. Three
of the former have already fall
en- victims TO the disease, contracted
in the discharge of the duties of
their holy office; while their brethren
of all denominations, bound together in
the holy bonds of christian charity, are
night and day ministering to the mate
nal and spiritual wants of the sick.
The members of the medical pro-
fession are depOrting themselves in a
manner worthy of great praise. All
that human skill and learning, accom-
panied by the kindest and most unre-
uniting attention, can do they are doing,
50 that we are at loss to express the
deep sense Of appreciation with which
their noble services are viewed by the
public. Still the plague is feaTfully at
work, and his victims daily fall before
him. The frost Of the last two nights
brought hope TO all our hearts, but the
great God alone only knows whether
that hope win Tipen into frIition
OF the thing hoped for, The
malady is so strong now that a killing
frost may be necessary to fully neutral
ize its virulenee. Still there is hope in
the prospect, and. our people should not
relax fn any and every effort to miti-
gate the peStilence. Let no family fail |
10 use disinfecting agents. Let the
board of health insist on a rigid police
ing of every house infected or threaten
ed with the infection, and with Gods
blessing we may soon have to announce
the disappearance of the plague.
