DRY GOODS

In reviewing the trade of the past few weeks
sales are fully up to those of the corresponding
weeks of last year, and the volume of business
would probably have been greater through the
entire spring except that credit has not Deen so
literally extended as heretofore. Those styled
good merchants are buying frequently and mod
erately, and Indications lead TO the belief that
n fair sorting up trade will continue throughout
the season. collections are fair and prices are
strong and tending to advance. Quotations of
some leading brands are as follows:

demand for dry goods has now fairly COM
meucsd, ard the season opens under gem
orally favorable auspices. Merchants from
all sections Of the country are present in
the market in large numbers. and the pre-
ponderance OF opinion is in favor of a healthy,
safe. and profitable, If not particularly large,
autumn business. Stocks in the hands oil
retailers are, no doubt. exceptionally light
throughout the country, and will need re-

CALIFORNIA WHEAT.
The Alta, July 26, says: The next six
weeks will prove eventful ones ior the
farming interests of California inasmuch as
that within that period the great question OF
demand will be settled on the part of their
sole customer for Wheat, Great Britain.
This question is this year of unusual i'm
portance, because we have more wheat to
sell than over before, and because the grow
ers have apparently determined to take the
risks of the market on their own account.
1t is always a hazard to export on speculation
and it is doubly so after a period of short
crops. when high prices having stimulated
production in all countries of supply and a
1aNOAoO4O oc-Acpu gives outCL 10 the 6X-
tended enterprise Heretofore. when the
wheat crop was sold and delivered here the
matter, as far IA California was concerned,
vas at an END. The fate that attended The
cargoes after they passed through the Col
den Gate awaken no anxiety here, because
whatever OF loss or gam might befall them
on arrival Injured only to the foreign owners
of the cargo. This year, however, the farm
ers seem determined to assume risks them
selves, and consequently the state of the
weather abroad and the fluctuations of the
foreign markets will have an interest here
not before SO directly felt.

rhe sweetness ot Homo.

He who has no home has not the
sweetest pleasures of life; he feels not
the thousand endearments that cluster
round the hallowed spot to fill the void
of his aching heart, and while away his
leisure moments in the sweetest of LIES
Joys. Is misfortune your LOTT You will
find friendly welcome from hearts beat
ing true to your own. The chosen part
ner Of your toll has smile of approba-
ton when Others have deserted,a hand
of hope when all others refuse, and a
heart TO feel yoursorrows as II they were
her own. Perhaps a smiling oherub,
with prattling glee and joyous laugh
will drive sorrow from your care-worn
brow, and enclose it in the wreaths OF
domestic bliss. No matter how humble
that home may be, how destitute its
stores, or how poorly Estimates are clad,
if true hearts dwell there il is yet a
home. A cheerful, prudent wife, ODE,
dent and afiectionate children, will give
their possessors more real JOY than bags
of gold and worldly honors. The home
of a temperate, industrious and honest
man, will be his greatest joy. He comes
to it weary and worn, but the music OF
the merry laugh and the happy voices Of
the children cheer A plain, but heal
thy meal awaits him. Envy, ambition
and strife, have no place there, and with
clear conscience he lays his weary
limbs down to rest in the bosom of his
family, and under the protecting care OF
the poor mans Friend.

INTEREST ON FRIEN DsHP.-In 1850
a young man named Osborn, who had
recently arrived at the mines from the
East, penniless and friendless, was taken
sick. He told his condition to fellow
adventurer named Hitchcock, who was
little better off, and the latter promised
to " see him through The promise was
kept, and when, after two months of IL
ness, Osborn arose from his bed, his
friend handed him $3.50 to bear his ex-
penses and to procure tools, saying to
him, d" If ever you get able you can pay
me back, but do not worry yourself and
injure your health in trying to make the
money too quick" One year and half
from that time Osborn sent Hitchcock
81, $50, with the following note: "Ill
pay interest on friendship" His labors
proved remunerative, and by 1878 he
was worth s350,000. While in Sar
Francisco he met and recognized his Ole
friend When they parted, after severa
| days companionship, Osborn CAV,

little eyes to peep whether the way was

caught my eye upon it. But when the
manufactured nectar came, and drop
was placed upon the point Of its bill, it
came to life very suddenly, and in mo-
ment was on its legs drinking with eager
gusto of the refreshing draught from a
silver teaspoon.
When stated it refused to take any
more, and sat perched with the coolest
self-composure on my finger and plumed
itself quite as artistically as if on its ia.

AGED INNoCENCE.-The other day.
on Michigan Central train going east,
was an old lady who had never travelled
a great deal. She wasn't used to the
ways of the book agents, the peanut
boys and the prize-package nuisances
who pass through the train every few
minutes. When the peanut boy came
along and dropped big African peanut
into her lap, she shucked it, opened her
mouth, and dropped the kernel down,
instead of regarding it with silent con.
tempt, or pitching it out Of the window
The book agent came along and dropped
a book into her lap. She said she wal

A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.-Sho
before his departure for India, the la
mented Heber preached a sermon, which
contained this beautiful sentiment
Life bears us on like the stream of a
mighty river. Our beat glides down the
narrow channel-through the playful
murmuring of the little brook, and the
winding of its grassy borders. Thetrees
shed their blossoms over our young
heads, the flowers on the brink seem to
offer themselves to our young hands; we
are happy in hope, and grasp eagerly at
the beauties around us-but the stream
hurries on, and still our hands are emp
ty. Our course in youth and manhood
is along a wilder flood, amid objects
more striking and magnificent. We are
animated at the moving pictures of en-
joyment and industry passing us, we are
excited at home short-lived disappoint
ment. The stream bears us on, and oul
joys and griefs are alike left behind US
We may be shipwrecked, we cannot b.
delayed whether rough or smooth, th,
river hastens to its home, till the roar o
the ocean is in our ears, and the TOSSING
from our eyes, and the floods are lifted
around us, and we take our leave 0
earth and its inhabitants, until of gu
further voyage there is no witness, saw
the Infinite and Eternal"
