The Chicago Inter- Ocean Of Monday says ;
I'VE have now had two whole days Of good clear
weather, aud il it should be extended into a
week, there il no question but that there would
be another revolution in business circles.
Everybody would feel sure OF good crops, and
consequently OF a good business this fall prices
OF grain would decline considerably, but there
would be more active and heslthful movement
at the decline than 1t the present prices.

THE II. Il II. co. AT WORK UPON NEW DESIGN IN
MARINE ARCHITECTURE. q
The Harlan q Hollingsworth Co. have received
the contract and are now preparing to build a
fire boat for the New Harbor Protection Go. OF
New Orleans, under an entirely new
design. In general appear ai,'9 s9
the new boat will not bo unlike a tug, and
is similarly propelled, but at speed Of from hi-
viii he 100 feet long, beam 80 feet and depth of
hold 10 feet The entire construction Will be OF
iron, including decking, wheel-house &c.
The forward portion OF the vessel will be
devoted to large tank in which earbonic acid
gas will be generated after the principle OF the
Babcock Fire extinguisher, the design being to
apply gaseous spray to flames, rather than the
flooding of csrgoes with water as Id now SO often
the case in efforts to put out fires on shipboard.
Steam pumps, however will be put upon tho
boat for use when needed.

The Inference In Living.

An Englishman at Chicago writes the follow
ing; "What first strikes, however, the straii-
ger visiting the stock yard is the unaceountable
difference between the cost Of living in America
and the first necesssries Of life. An average
head Of cattle can be bought here for s52,
whs it would cost as much as s90 or s!oo IN
or alO. or at retail for about or Q cents u
mound, ono third of the English price, Tue
same is true with bread and vegetables. Ye'
| living here costs three or four times AZ mucl
as IN England. There must be something ut
terly wrong in the basis OF the social and econo
mical organization of the country"

enchantment itself Again, on those
same plains, a party of us witnessed the
sun 60 down with an illumination like
the smile of dying martyr. As il
boarding his strength for this finale he
had yelled his splendor with mists
Throughout the day, and wet with rain,
morose with hunger, and sullen with ia
tigue, 1t seemed to us, as If no power on
the hither side of the warm supper
awaiting us could beget enthusiasm in
our breasts. Apparently we were Oh the
edge, of deep night, for the clouds were
black and dusky, hanging low, and were
almost one with their shadows OH the
earth. Suddenly in the deep notch
south of Pixies Peak the gloom was
broken and rift of light shot forth.
We could mark its course over the miles
of intervening level, cleaving the dark
ness as a wedge, shooting and broaden
ing as you may have seen crystal of
ice dart across a pond on cold, still
night, gathering strength as it went, I'M
til the entire surface was bridged and
frozen. The pale sage-brush was silvered
with light almost unnatural in tone.
The cottonwood groves on the rivers
edge were green like growing corn, and
the bare and distant plain beyond be-
came golden with a FURNISHED glow
richer than the stem of ripened wheat.
In the east the two halves of rainbow
climbed from the horizon up the black
dome of sky and melted into one beauti-
full whole. One moment the picture
lasted and then was gone, all gone; but
it left US the better and lightsr-hearted
for the vision ENE &Ehk
