From summary of the exports
and imports OF the United States for
the last seven years, the Baltimore
American deduces some very interest.
ing points in the mercantile expert
ence OF the country. Within this sew
en- years our exports, exclusive of spe-
Gle, have nearly doubled, and the bal
ance of trade, instead OF being over
$3.50, 100000 against us, as it stood in
1869, Is now less than So, 900, 900. Du-
ring the fiscal year ending June, 1869,
our exports of domestic and foreign
goods amounted to S2S6, 6i3, $50 in gold,
while our imports for the same period
were Sll7, 5S6,979. Last year, ending
June 80, our exports reached S5l3,-
3i3,GlS, while our imports were $3.50
000,309 Indeed, during the year 1878
and 1874, which comprised the period
of the panic, our exports exceeded the
imports by nearly Sl0,OO0,0O caused
chiefly 10y the large demands for our
breadstulis in the European markets.
Taking the seven years, from June,
1868, to June, 1878, we find the exports
to have been 1923, IA, 47O less than the
imports, making an average annual
deficiency Of $74 S24,92l. During the
last two years the exports have nearly
equaled the imports. Our exports Of
merchandise have increased eighty
per ceut. since 1861 while the i'm
port demand has only advanced
twenty-eight pers cent. during the
same period. Our exports for 1884
are the highest on record, amounting
to 1886, 2S3, 040, against $5l3,3l3, GlS last
year.
The falling Off in the export trade
during the past year is chiefly notice
able in breadstufis and cotton. This
year we shall have better figures to
show in regard to grain, while cotton
will not more than hold its own. The
specie exported last year amounted to
SOP, l42, while the imports under
the same head reached only $40, 1884,
PIT. The previous year the amounts
were $66,6S0,s SOP and $2S, 454,006 re-
spectively. During the seven years
the specie sent out OF the country was
1886, 4,Sl5, against Sl52,550,2 32 i'm
ported, leaving u balance in our favor
of $3.50, 96i,6 1913 in the precious metals.
With these facts in view, it is impossi-
BILE to avoid the conclusion that not
withstanding the depression OF bust
ness and the general complaint of hard
times, the country is, as regards its OBJ
| legations abroad in better. condition
| financially than it has been since 1860.
We are paying our debts, not always
q pleasant business, but In the end sure
to be wise and profitable one. But
for our bonded Indebtedness abroad
the balance of trade would be unmis.
takably In favor of the United States,

New York, August 25.--The latest
adyices from Panama bring the news
of the assassination OF President Gar
Ella Morcna. at Quito, on the 9Th in
stant
The President while in his palace
WAS approached 10y Captain Royo, an
officer whom he had cashiercd, who at
once struck him over the head aud
shoulders with II matchctt. The SEN
try ON duty Immediately ran his bay
onet through Royo, but before falling
the Captain fired, the shot taking ell
feet in the breast OF the President
Royo was then killed 10y the
sentry; and about the same
time the President, who was fired
at 10y two young men who accompan-
led Roys to the palace The young
men made good their escape.
Another account says the President
was attacked by five grenadicrs in
Quito, and murdered before the sentry
was aware of the presence of the as
sassins. While nothing is positively
known but what the Government
chooses to publish, it is generally be-
iieved that the assassination OF the
President was done at the insligation
of General Palace, who had been dis
graced by the President.
The news of the assassination has
created great sensation along the en-
tire coast of the Republic, which bids
fair to eliminate in another revolution.

Away up on the hill that overloOks
Naples stands the Cmthusiln monas-
terry Of San Marsino. The monks who
once inhabited the glorious palace for
it Is nothing less were men Of rublc
birth and vast fortune. The church is
now one Of the most magnificent in
Italy. Agate, jasper lapis lHNuIi,
amethyst, Egyptian granite and fossil
wood, together with marbles OF every
tint, are so blended in moSuics that
line the whole ediiioc, and the cary
ings are 81 rich and graceful That the
interiors Of some OF the clnprIS seem
like Eden bowers transferred hv u nil
raclc aud ftO2ru into stone. And in
this spot lived a brotherhood who came
from the FIRST circles of soripty, mud
tomb, for il was liltle else. Tile uonks
took II vow OF perpetual silence, lived
apart, ate apart, and mrt only for the
unsocial hours OF prayer, when each
was wrapped in his own meditation,
and no one uttered syllable. Each
one of the little cells where they slept
had II small window or closet comnln-
nicating with one of the corridors, and
in this closet was placed the frugal
meal, which was then taken into the
cell and eaten in solitude. Every quar-
ter of an hour bell struck to remind
the listeners that they were so much
nearer their death. In the gardens
the ratings are ornamentod with i.lar-
bic skulls, and the only sounds that
used to disturb this splendid solitude
We're the tread of sandaled feet, the
rustic of long, white robes, or the olang
of the bell that told OF their solumn
lives, in brief moments, and yet might
have seemed long to them. These
monks, like most others in Italy, have
been driven from their retreat, and all
their treasures conliscated by Victor
