BUSINESS PROSPECTS.
1 stated in August last that the per-
ceptible improvement in business affairs
would occur with the bursting of the
buds in the spring of 1875. The pres
ent outlook confirms all / then said. A
few days ago one of our largest real es-
tate agents sold seven large residences
for occupancy as well as investment; the
price of the lowest was $40, 500, that of
the highest $97, 600, the others scatter
ing between these two sums. The pur-
chasers Of these properties are manufac-
turers whose prospective business war
rants such investments.

prosperous times in the immediate fu-
ture, is, in my opinion, found in the
improvements that the American Steam
ship Company have just added to their
steamers During the month of April,
while their vessels were in port at this
place loading. and unshipping, twenty
five first-class cabin berths were added
to each steamer of the line. These ad-
dltions have been made to meet the de-
mand upon them by a much larger num-
Der of our merchants, who deal in for
eign goods, going to Europe this sum-
mer, to personally purchase their stock.
The steadily increasing demand for
such goods from country patrons COM
! lpels our large dealers to go to Europe;
this increase of ocean travel, has forced
one hundred additional state-rooms 10 be-
built in the company's fnelineo steam
ers; and must confess my pride, as an
American, rejoices at this, for the reason
that Philadelphia alone, having had
the courage TO build the only line of
European steamers, sailing beneath the
proud flag of our country, it is crafty.
ing to know that American citizens are
patriotic enough to patronize line of
steamers built of American iron and oak
manned by American officers and men,
owned by American citizens, with the
American stars and stripes floating from
the masthead.
One of the remarkable things in con-
nection with this line is, that every out |
going vessel carries to Liverpool, ma
chlnery made by American mechanics, of 1
American iron, and the quantity steadily
increases.
Philadelphia, with her line of Ameri-
can steamers, so successfully managed
by Peter Wright and his SONS, has taught
New York, Boston and Baltimore les
son of Americanism that it would be pat
riotic for them to follow.
HEAVY WEIGHT.
The death of Mrs Mckinney. aged
'orty-seven years, occurred few days
lgo. Her weight Just before being Ia '
zen with sickness was 594 pounds, and
1eing sick but few day, this huge ,
ump of mortality had shrunk but little. ,
rs it was found impossible to carry her !
lown the winding stairway, the front !
windows were taken out and the corpse
Owered from the second story to the a
arth. Such an unusual sight attracted
he attention of the curious, and a large
rowd soon gathered to witness the Charge
voman lowered to the street. The lob D
Tas performed without accident. Six :,
len carried her into the front parlor, :,
there she was laid out, and the crowd y
dispersed with an exceedingly novel;
Gene impressed upon their memory. T
