During the first half of tho current
year, the number of mercantile failures
in this country was over $500, and the
aggregate liabilities of the suspended
merchants are about s75, 1000, 900. This
would seem to be very large amount of
suspended debts for single half year,
but we are assured it is much less than
the average for the corresponding pre-
vious half years since 1871, and that it
consequently indicates healthier con-
dition of trade, SO far rs diminution in
the number and amount Of failures can.
1t is quite evident to any one who ana
lyzes the subject, that many of these
failures, although set down to 1875, in
reality belong to previous years. They
have been caused by the revulsion of
1873, with it's depression and declining
prices. The unfortunate merchant, with
bankruptcy impending, has been strug-
Cling to postpone failure as long as pos
sible, hoping ultimately to get through h
paying one debt by making another
taking up an old note with q new one
doing the best he could with his dcclin-
ing market-the result being q post
ponement of the final reckoning by
piling up interest and spending capital,
until the crash became inevitable. Hence
the cause Of most of these failures of
1875 goes back to 1873, or even before.

THE YELLED MURDEnEss FREE AGAIN.
The bill that has just passed both houses
OF tho State Legislature in relation to
convicts sentenced to prison for life,
affects but one person sentenced from
Troy-Hcnrictta Robinson, known rs
"the yelled murdcress." The bill pro-
vldes that persons sentenced for life
shall be conditionnlly released Mt the end
OF fifteen years, provided their conduct
has been such as to warrant clcmency;
and they nrc to have their liberty for ten
years, at the end of which time, if no
other charge is brought against them,
convicted Of crime during the ten wears,
they are to be remnndcQ to prison to
serve out the lite sentence. Henrietta
Robinson is now confined in the insane
asylum at Auburn, being one of three
women in the State prison there, who
will be released hy the new law. Her
crime is familiar to Trojnns. She WIS
convicted i'll 1852 of poisoning n saloon
keeper, residing near her home in the
upper portion of this city, by admins
tcring poisoned beer. No provocation
was shown, but it was proved that she
not only administered the poison to the
person who died, but also to lady rela-
tive of the deceased. She was sentenced
to be hung, but this was afterwards COM
muted to imprisonment for life. She re-
mained in Sing Sing prison until quite
recently, when she became insane, and
was transferred to Auburn. She was
very beautiful and to this day even tho
counsel who defended her, among whom
was the Hon. Martin 1. Townsend, do
not know her parcntage for n certainty.
She became known as 1.-The yelled mur-
dcrcss," on account Of her refusal to
raise her veil during the trial. She has
no friends, and will probably remain in
the insane asylum until released by
death. y few years ago her pardon
would have been gladly welcomed. 1t
comes too late, however, and perhaps
she will never realize il

Letters received by the President of
the New York Stock Exchange and tho
bankers of that city, show that extensive
swindling operations have been going
on to victimize people in the country.
The operators of the fraud have been
advertising extensively in the country
papers, giving glowing accounts of stock
speculations, by which fortunes are easily
gained. Pamphlets also are widely cir
culatcd, containing particulars of the
modus operandi, the explanation being n
plnusibly construed theory of specula-
ton, md claiming that tho operators
have combination by which failuro is
impossible. One woman in Philadelphia
has written to the President of the Stock
Exchange, stating TINT she had sent S1OG
there, and asking information, MS the
firm informed her that her money had
been lost in speculation. The President
replied that he could do nothing for her.
Many letters have been received, show
ing that tho victims of the fraud are nu-
merous, and extend through all pnrts of
the country.

The Henogovinian taxpayers are very
evidently in earnest in their revolt
against the Sultan of Turkey. A despatch
from Constantinople states that more
troops have been ordered from the neigh
boring province of Bosnia to quell the
revolt. The significance of this tax-pay-
ers' rebellion is just this that Turkey is
bankrupt, cannot afford to carry on a
war against these provincials, and, if the
conflict is protracted, England, who has
lent 10 mt, 2 good goo, deal OF money to the Govern
reforms required by the treaty of 1856
have not been fulfilled.

Sunday Morning, July %, 1875.

A New York paper thinks "the most
perfect climate is that in which the tenn
poraturo never excites remark, meaning
an oven temperature, high or low, such
ns the Hottentots or the Esquimaux en-
JOY. But, how in the world, we would
respectfully ask, could Americans or
Britons exist, unless they could talk
about the weather? What would half
the people who meet each other in this
country or England, or in any European
country, find to talk about, if they had
not tho temperature for topic? Of
course, if the temperature here were uni
form, as in Greenland, or where roams
''the naked negro, painting Mt tho line"
we should seldom, if ever, think of
making any remark about the weather.
There no one day is colder or hotter than
another, in any remarkable degree, and
the weather subject is too monotonous
for discussion. The poor Africans and
Hottentots, on the one hand, and the
poor Esquimaux; Greenlanders, ETC., on
the other, are, therefore, deprived of the
delights that we derive from discussing
the weather whenever we meet friend.
The climate IN the torrid or in the frigid
zone may be 'perfect, according to the
logic of our New York contemporary,
but we confess to a preference for our
own imperfect climate, not dlone because
it affords perennial theme of converse
ton, enabling bashful lovers to break
the ice, and all that, but because, with
oil tho evils incident to it's sudden and
great changes of temperature, its very
variations suit the temper of man and
afford that variety which is the spice of
his life, even though it too often causes
his premature death; and because, in it's
hottest and coldest stages, it is far more
tolerable than the climate where the ex-
treme and constant heat or tho extreme
and everlasting cold "never excites re-
mark" Such perfection" of climate is
not pleasant even to contemplate ut O
safe distance, and would be sorry sub
ject for conversation, even if it should
ever "excite remark" One could never
greet friend in the arctic or the torrid
regions of the earth with 80 delightful
day, sir" without perpetrating nm at
mospheric fnlsehood.
