TIE DuLLNEss OF BusrNEss.-This "a
the complaint that comes from every city
in the land. There is but one story as TO
the stAguation that characterizes trade.
The chief responsibility Tor this state Of
things is laid, by some papers, upon Con-
gress, because Of It's failure to adopt
some financial policy instead Of procrss-
tIuating q decision from week to week
and month TO month, as has been
the care since the first Monday In
December. The New York Tribune Of
Saturday says that It is no. an encoursg-

TIE IRON MARKEr.-The outlook for
iron is not by any means encouraging.
Prices have been weakening for two OF
three weeks past, and decline from $50 to
$27 cash, for mill iron, has been establish
ed. There Is no prospect for an improve
ment in the near future, The spring
business thus far Is being done at short
profits in finished irons, II indeed, the
word profits can be used at all. We hear
that bar iron is being delivered in Cleve-
land at $2s5, and a special to the Gin
cinnAtl Commercial from Pittsburgh
quotes it in that market at SAYS. Nails
are also quoted as less active and prices
lower at 1915 cssh, ,.snd $3.50 and 1886
90 days. Wejudge that these last quota
tlons are above the market.

Yesterday noon q levee Of "drummers''
was held at one Of the DINING tables at
the Central Hotel, and from the rambling
conversation which took place between
the mudetn "ttaseling statesmen" gentle
men seated near by were enabled 70 infer
that trade was not very brisk in the In
terror Of the State. II seemed from their
conversations that nearly all Of them had
been at one Of the towns Of Harrisburg,
Huntington, Tyrone, Altoona, Holidays
burg, or Johnstown, within week, and
the result Of their visit was pictured as
most gloomy. They accounted Tor the
stagnation In trade by the fact that In
Harrisburg and Altoona and the other
railroad towns, the working force Of the
mechanics has been reduced, while 10
Johnstown the Cambria Iron works are
idle. This state Of things existing. the
retail dealers are slow in replentshing
their stock, as there is very little call Tor
what they have on hand already. "Why,"
said one Of the drummers, VI have been
all over this city (Pittsburgh) this morn
ing and have not made sale" This
seemingly capped the climax, the meals
were dispatched, their bills paid, and the
hotel which knew them then knew them
no more that day. They have gone In
search OF pastures new"

Death of a Distinguished Louisiana
Lady.

From til Philadelphia Age, we
learn the death, a few weeks since, at
her residence in hat city, Of Mrs
Eliza Gilpir, aged SO years.
Mrs. G'lpin was born in the Par
ish of Natchitoches, was the daugh-
ter of the elder DR.. Sibley, and sis
ter to our late fellow-citizen, DR.. Il.
H. Sibley. When quite young she
was married to the Hon. Josiah Stod-
dard Johnston, the eldest brother OF
General Albert Sydney Johnston and
Judge John Harris Johnston, three
remarkable and distinguished men,
all then residents of Rapides. Her
husband was a Representative and
then a Senator from Louisiana in the
Congress of the United States, and
was killed by the explosion Of the
steamer Lioness, Captain VIM. Wa
tiers in command, in 1881, on Fed
River, opposite the old Gillard plan
tatlon, Plaisance settlement, near Co.
tile. Mrs. Gilpin was a remarkable
woman, possessing the most gifted
and womanly traits, and in her day
VAS one of the chief ornaments of
Washington and Philadelphia socie-
ty, and noted for her beauty and in
telligepce. .
After the death Of b r husband
Mrs. Johnston was married to the
Hon. Henry D. Gilpin, an eminent
lawyer of Philadelphia, formerly
Mayor of that city, and in 1910 At
torney General Of the United States,
in Martin Van Buren's Cabinet
She has resided ever since in Phila-
delphia. Her only child, son, VIM.
S. Johnston, was married to Maria
Williams, eldest daughter of the late
Archibald P. Williams, of our Par
ISL, and died in 1889 at the age of
twenty-four, and at the time was our
Parish Judge. A grandson, Willie
Johnston, still lives, and will, it is
thought, inherit tn Q m ost Of her
large estate. ss. t.l.

The Great Antagonist Of Disease.

What is the natural antagonist Of
, disease z It is the vital principle.
From the moment that disease is de-
veloped in the system, this champion
fights the intruder until it either con-
qners or is conquered. Which side
should medicinal science espouse in
this life and death struggled Shonld
it depress and cripple the physical en-
ergies Of the patient, thereby helping
the disorder, or should it reinforce the
vitality of the patient and thereby as
sist in queliiug the ailment7 OF
course the proper answer to this qnes-
ton must be obvious to every one
above the grade of an idiot or a luna
tic, and hence it follows that the weak
and broken down invalid who chooses
to dose himself with depicting slops,
instead of toning, invigorating and vi
talizing his enervated frame with Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, must he either
feeble minded or deranged. Surely
nothing short of imbecility or insanity
could induce a person laboring under
bodily weakness and nervous prostra
ton, to take day after day powerful
doses of some drastic pursative in the
hope Of gaining strength thereby. Al
though charlatans may advertise prep
a,atioDs of this character as topics,
people in the full possession of their
reason can not, one would think, ac-
cept them as such. IT they do the
penalty of their credulity NAV be the
shortening of their lives. The rteu-
matte, the dyspeptic, tile bilious, the
debilitated and nervous, and all WHO
are subject to intermittents, or other
diseases brought on by the inc!ement
weather which prevails at this season,
will do we'll to strengthen their nerves,
tone their stomachs and regulate their
bowels with the Bitters. The two fold
operation of the restorative as an in :
vigorant and an aperient, in addition
to its direct and specific effect upon the
disordered liver, renders it most eff
Gent remedy for complaints of the d.
gestive, secretive and excretive organs,
at present in use. This fact is coDce
ded by eminent members Of the farul-
ty whose testimony to that effect is
published in Hostetter's Almanac for
1874. :.

The Westminster Review for Jan.
uary.

uary.
We have received from the Leonard
Scott Publishing Company, 40 Fulton
Street, New York, the Westminster
Review for January. The following are
its contents:
I. "The Observation-Disclosures and Dis.
endowment Of the Church of England,
Shows that the established church does
not in lis present condition fulfil
the needs of the people; mentions the
abuses connected with. it, snch as the
sale Of livings. ETC.; and points ont the
necessity which is forcing itself into
prominence, of separation of Church
and State.
II. "The Metropolitan Police sys-
tenn" We have heard so much about
the excellence of the London Police
Regulations. that it is with interest not
uumixed with surprise that we read
this account of the working of the sys-
TEN, and find how imperfect it lie, and
what great need it has Of reform. !
III. "The Christian Missions to the
Heather" An able paper, suggesting
that religious instruction would be
likely to. take deeper root by following
in the footsteps Of civilization, than by
preceding it. - .'1'
". "The Working Classes" The
labor question has attained such prom
inence in all counties of late, that it is
unnecessary to call attention to any,
thing bearing upon that subject. This
paper refers particularly to the Eng.
lish laborer, his temperament, condi-
ton and habits, in all of which he diff
fers in many respects from his proto-
type in this country. Trades union
ism is represented as useful in many
ways, but as being only a Temporary
organization from which, in course of
time, Industrial Cooperation is to be
developed
V. "John Stuart Mill" An excel
lent article, giving ''brief view Of
the sources and method of Mr.. Mills
education, and the primary effect it
had on his mind and character" with
"the opinions of his mature years.
and "some Of the results of those opiu-
ions upon his labor in moral and 20.
litical science as well as 10 practical
politics."
vi. "Third-class Passenger Traffic."
Advocates cheap transportation, and
advises the attachment of third. class
passenger cars to all trains.
VII. "Medical Charity: It's Extent
and Abuses" A statistical article.
giving lists Of the London HOSPITALS,
Dlspcnsaries and Asylums, their ex-
penditure, income, number of patients,
and everything connected with the
subject. aG
The remainder of the Review ia de-
voted, as nsnal. TO brief notices of con-
temporary literature, which will sug-
gest to each reader the new books
that will be most attractive to his
mind.
