The Business Outlook.

.. The few failures recently reported among our mercantile houses, says the New York Republic, have brought to the surface the usual, op-of panic mengers, who, with SeIon gated visage and wagging head, significantly hint at all sorts of disasters to follow, claiming that the dull and urremunerative course of trade during the past year must bring a large number of our ap- parently strongest firms to the ground, and: also improving the opportunity to work upon the well worn theme of an unsound Governmental policy. The mass of our merchants, however, ap- pear not only well able to take care of themselves, but are evidently entirely free of alarm over any of the suspen- sions thus far reported. This is be- cause in nearly every case it has been found-that the unfortunate firms had either neglected their legitimate busi- ness to take venture at something outside and sunk their money in opera tions to which they were not accus- toned, or bYs miscalculation or bad management had accumulated stocks of unstable goods which could not be longer carried. Trade has without uOuOO pCCA uuAA UOyOAA 1AA sOAPOCO0VAO4A thus far this fall, and the margin of profit at the best only fair, but to the very cause of this dullness is clearly traceable one of the most healthy fea- lures of the position. We refer to the cautious hand to mouth policy adopted by nearly all classes of buyers, orders being based on close calculation of actual wants and ability to meet in- debted edness at maturity, prudence seem ing to dictate B. dozen Complications of purchases rather than the making up of immense invoices with no positive as- surance that the distribution would be rapid enough to provide means for set clement when due. A gradual straight ening out and cancellation of. book ac- counts has also been going on for some time, and the indications favor the be- lief that the year will close on an un- usually. small line of bad debts. The recent bountiful harvests must put money into the hands of the producer,
 which passing from him to the local merchant, thence to the .iobber, finally reaches our wholesale dealers, manu- facturers and importers. The desire to
 ssettle up" is therefore apparent
 among all debtors, but mors particn; ] larly those from the interioE. ETaken altogether the business out ooky5f nos
 remarkably brilliant, shows no decided reason for alarm, and it is possible that with, the increased railroad facilities land probable easonable freight tariffs
 fair movement of goods into the inte' rior may continue allWinter. y g7

Bleeding from Lungs, Oatarrh, BrOn-
 chitis, Consumption. A Wonderful

ROCHESTER,, N. Y., Jan. 18th, 1874
 R. v. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo N r.:
 Dear SIr-I had suffered from Catarrh in an aggravated form for about twelve years and for several years from Bronchial trouble. Tried many doctors and things with no lasting benefit. In May, '72, becoming nearly worn out with excessive Editorial labors on 8 paper In New York City, was attacked with Bron- chitis in severe form, suffering almost total loss of voice. I returned home here, but had been home only two weeks when was con- pletely prostrated with Hemorrhage from the Lungs, hauirsg jour seoere bleeding spells ,cithS,s ttoo toeeks,' and first three aoit7ain aiTse ddys. In the September following improved suf- fciently to be able to be about, though in very feeble state. My Bronchial trouble re- mained and the Catarrh was tenfold worse than before. Every effort for relief seemed fruitless. Iseemed to be losing ground daily. l continued in this feeble state, raising blood almost daily until about the first of March, 73, when became so bad as to be entirely confined to the house. friend suggested your remedies. But was extremely ekeptical that they would do me good, as had lost all heart In remedies, and began to look upon medicine and doctors with disgust. However, obtained one of your circulars, and read it carefully, from which came to the conclusion that you understood your business at least fna!ly obtained quantity of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, your Golden Medical Dis covery and Pellets, and commenced their vigorous use according to directions. To my surprise, soon began to improve. The Dis covery and Pellets, in short time. brought out severe eruption, which continued for several weeks. felt much better, my appe- tite inproved, and I gained in strength and flesh. In three months every vestige of the Catarrh was gone, the Bronchitis had nearly disappeared, had no Cough whatever, and had entirely ceased to raise blood; and, con- trary to the expectation of some of my friends, the cure has remained permanent. I have had no more Hemorrhages from the Lungs, and am entirely free from Catarrh, from which ! had suffered so much and so long The debt of my gratitude owe for the blessing I have received at your hands, knows no bounds I am thoroughly satisfied from my experience, that your medicine will master the worst forms of that odious disease Catarrh, as well as Throat and Lung Diseases I have recom- mended them to very many and shall ever speak in their praise. Gratefully yours,

The Black Hills.

Despite the numerous warnings givon, a few adventurous whites, prob- ably urged by the sacred hunger for gold, recently departed for the Black Hills region. The intelligence now comes that some of them have been killed and others badly wounded in a brisk encounter with the Sioux, and that the survivors have returned to the point whence they set out, sadder and perhaps wiser. Another. party, which started about the same time, has not been heard from, and it is possible that the scalps of it's members now decorate the girdles of the Sioux, who have sworn to kill all who penetrate the re- Cesses of their beloved hills,

In the concluding chapter Of his me-
moirs of che war, Gen. Sherman writes
very just and sagacious deduction,
with a high compliment to Wisconsin,
in the following passage: ''The greatest
mistake made in our civil war was in the
mode Of recruitment and promotion.
When a regiment became reduced by
the necessary wear and tear Of service,
instead of being filed up at the bottom,
and the vacancies among the officers fl
led from the best nOn-commissloned Off
GERS and men, the habit was to raise new
regiments with new colonies, captains
and men, leaving the old and experienced
battalions to dwindle away into mere
skeleton organizations and he adds
that, owning to the fact that the state of
Wisconsin pursued the true plan in this
matter, we estimate a Wisconsin regi-
ment equal to an ordinary brigade.

'fCorn is King Of the West"

'fCorn is King Of The West"
BY LOTTIE "A. ROSE.
Sea left and right Of us,
Far out of sight of us,
His mighty battaliOns
Are marShaled to-day!
Standing up, one by one,
High in the cleaning sun,
See the lines stretching
Away and away
No guns or cannOnade
Marshaled on dreSs-parade,-
Only the gleaming-blada
Mark you that cleaning blade
Artisao never made
Emerald uniform,
Tassels of gold,
Banners of Silken sheen
Deep their bright folds between
a cOrnucOpia
Each soldiers hand holds.
Long since their march began;
Ne'er will their march be done
Til, meath the setting sun,
Bow their heads, one by One,-
Bow in the sunshine,
The Ocean to greet;
Know neither pause nor rest,
Never till CLEANS their crest
Ger all the mighty West,
And the waves of Ocean
Boil at their feet.
PrairieS grow green with them
See you the sheen of them
Line upon line of them
Stretching away?
Ranks upon ranks Of them,
Emerald banks of them,
Who will out number
These legiOns to-day?
Kings upon ancient thrones,
Builded on human bones,
Meath whose foundation-stones
Hear ye nations groans,
Merit your armies
Fen Fame'S transient breath
Out on the whole Of them
Blot out the roll of them
What is their merit
Save blOOdshed and death
And hail to our glorious
Armies victorious
Hear We the cheer for them
Where are the peers of them,
COnquering poverty,
Blessing the earth,
And bidding defiance
To ogres and giants
That haunt the Old World
Gaunt Famine and Death?
These are soar corntry's PRIDE
Reaching out far and wide,
Far to the setting sun
Cleaning their creSts:
All through its vast regions
Long may the fair legiOnS
Of Plenty and Peace
Stand guard DER the West.
