EDITOR MONITOR This December

no rain, though this Is the winter and
the rainy season Of the year. The flow

ing as merrily as upon a May morning
in Vermont We can hardly realize
that We are in the same country where
upon the eastern coast stern and rugged
winter bears sway. But before deserib-
ing this country, it may be Of interest
to know how We came here. Stepping
upon ole of the staunch and elegant
ships of the Pacific Nail Steamship Cos
line on November afternoon, we were
soon passing out of the harbor Of New
York, and down by the grim and brist-
ling forts that guard its entrance. We
reached the open sea ere night set in. to

400 feet long and 80 feet broad. and
was built expressly for the Californian
service She was fitted up for the com.
fort and convenience Of passengers. The
state-rooms and saloons are finished in
the most costly manner, with elegant
woods, silver and nickel plated trim.

now A WOMAN DROPPED pRAp OF
HEART DISEASE.

Yesterday morning about nine o'clock
a woman ffty-four years Of age, named
Anreline Graham. living with her son,
Newton Graham. on Barker street, went
into neighbor's house on some GRAND
being in the best Of spirits. Returning
she had just stepped into the door when
she uttered shrek. threw up her hands
and fell at full length on the floor The
family ran to her aid. and as they turn
ed her over she gasped once or twice and
died-or 50 they had every reason to
believe. There was. of course. great
excitement. and while man passing
the house was sent to bring doctor
the family lifted up the body and placed
il on a bed. Camphor and whiskey
we're freely used about the face and body
If the woman, whose eyes closed, face
grew pale and the jaw fell the same as
that of dead person, Though exam
nation was made of the pulse by those
IN the room, no throbbing could be felt
at the wrist. Her clothing was partly
removed. and after the lapse OF fifteen
or twenty minutes more no turth-
er efforts were made at resuseltatlon.
The woman had for years been troubled
with heart disease. and her friends had
been told that some day she would sud-
denly drop dead, Three,quarters Of an
hour after she fell on the floor the doctor
arrived, and being told of the nature of
her complaint. and looking at the pale
face, he made no examination, saying
it was plain case. He had been gone
about FIVE minutes, and the women were
about to proceed to lay oat the corpse,
when the victim began to gasp and Move
and in two minutes she raised herself
I'D without help and asked what had
happened. The struggle was so great
that she trembled like leaf and heI
face was bathed with perspiration, but
| in the course of an hour she walked
across the room unaided. She remem-
bered that violent pain had seized hel
as she opened the door, but all the res
was blank. In coming to she gaspeC
like one choking, but felt no great pain
Her state could not be called trance
and yet every function ofthe body seem
ed to be suspended and everybody be
lieved that death had set in. Had thu
doctor made an examination he Nigh
perhaps have found signs to encourag'
him, but the family had not the leas
doubt but that the mother had indeed
expired. Detroit Press.

THE MUSICAL CONVENTION.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, q musical con-
ventiou commences at Barton Landing to
continue four days. Prof. L. o. Emer-
son. the popular director and composer,
Will be present TO WELD the baton. ard
Miss McClary will preside at the piano,
The musicians of the county ought to
lay aside business for a few days and
embrace this excellent opportunity for
friendly interview and valuable practice.
The thorough drill and the good in
struction that Prof. Emerson gives can
not fail to improve the voices and ele-
vate the tastes of our singers. Good
singing adds much to the elevating lnhu-
enees of church worship. and always de-
lights and benefits the social circle but
ordinary or poor singing is worse than
none in the house of worship, and unen-
durable everywhere The reason why
some persons and some choirs sing well,
while others sing poorly, is not SO much
from the possession or the want of tai.
ent, as from the want of practice aud a
good musical education, or the adyanta-
ges of these, Let not the present oppor.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The year opens with a far more cheer
ing prospect for the business of the eoun-
try than any one could have anticipated.
three months ago. The baleful effects
of the financial panic are well-nigh
spent, while the wholesome results are
felt more and more every day. There
is an absence of the spirit of speculation
and a steady determination to build on
firm basis, which is an encouraging
sign of the times. The money market
is by On means in lively state. but it
Is gradually regaining vitality, and there
is a general disposition to secure an ad-
justment Of old accounts.
An Important feature of commerce
for the next few months will be the
trade in cotton. The exact amount of
the crop is still uncertain, estimates
varying from three and quarters to
four million bales. but the receipts at
the seaboard are very heavy thus far,
and indicate unusual briskness in bring
ing forward the supply. The demand
for this great staple, too. is likely to be
decidedly pressing. Liverpool, the great
entrepot of the cotton trade of the world
and the arbiter of prices in this eommO-
dity. is eagerly waiting to know the
extent of the supply, and viii, no doubt,
be prepared to take all We can send her.
Our own factories are, as a rule. again
running On full time. and the home de-
mand will be greater than ever before.
! The demand for breadstuffs, too, which
forms so important an element in our
foreign trade, is likely TO continue strong
until the incoming of another crop. At
present. the activity is unusual. and il
the supplies are pushed forward It will
be made steady and reliable. As an ev.
ldenee that our foreign commerce is ex.
hibiting a healthy growth. it may be
mentioned that the balance Of interna
tional trade is about sl000n0, 900 more
IN our favor than 1t was. one year ago
with continued tendency in the same
direction Wise management in oul
national finances and the observance O
, sound principles Of trade will speedily
: place Us in i position. commercially, il
, which We can look forward with tn,
: | highest hopes.-Bost0n Globe.

DIR. > chenck,. standard Remedies.

The standard remedies for all diseases of
the lungs are SCHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP,
SCHENCK's SEA WEED Tonic, and SCHENCK's
MANDRAKE PILLS. and if taken before the
lungs are destroyed, peedy cure is effect
ed.
To these three medicines DIR. j. Fl. Schenck
of Philadelphia. owes his unrivaled success
in the treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pnlmomic Syrup ripens the morbid
matter in the lungs; nature throws it off by
an easy expeeroration, for when the phIegm
or matter is ripe slight cough will throw
it of, the patient has rest and the lungs be-
gin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Shenck's Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used 10 cleanse
the stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake
Pills act on the liver, removing all obstrue-
tions, relax the gall bladder, and bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle slim
ulant and Alternative; the alkali of which it
is com posed, mixes with the food and pre-
vents sonring. lt assists the digestion By
tOning up the stomach to healthy condi-
tion. so that the food and the Pulmonic
Syrup will make good blood then the lungs
heal, and the patient will suTely get we'll if
care is taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DIR. Schenck,
either personally or by letter, can do 50 at
his principal Office, corner of SIXTH and
ARCH STs-. Philadelphia, every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all drug
gises throughout the counHY.

The Minneapolis Tribune thinks that
''the fact that Barbara Frietchie has not
yet appeared in Washington with claim
of s25, 900 for holding the national flag
out of her window in Fredericktown, and
soaring Gen. Lee, goes far to prove that
Whittier was fooled in that little transac-
ton, and that B. F. is a myth" The De-
troit Tribune thinks that if the other Tri-
bune will go down to New England about
these DAYS, it will find that in that part of
the country, B. F. is not regarded as
a myth; and they would that it were
so !"
