Stagnation in Business the World
Over.

It is poor consolation in adversely to
know that we are not alone in our misery;
such as it is, however, our iron manu-
factusers may take it to themselves. The
depression of the iron trade is general
throughout the world. The production
of pig-iron in Scotland was less in 1874
than in any of the last twenty years. At
one time there were only thirty-two fur
naces blowing, out of 1872 erected, and
the production was 400, 900 tons less than
in 1870. Russia, notwithstanding its
activity in railroad building, imported
only 1921, 900 pounds of rails, against
7,119,000 in 1873. In Prussia, the large
steel works of Krupp has discharged
some thousand workmen; and the Borsig
mandatory of engines at Beri~-the
most extensive in Germany-has had to
protect itself by taking a similar step.
Last month the largest Austrian manu-
factory Of engines, SigI, dispensed with
1000 hands, for the reason that it had
neither orders nor sufficient working
capital. The government, however, in
true Austrian fashion, remedied both
misfortunes by advancing capital to the
works, and by causisg some of the rail
roads to give extensiSs orders for rolling
stock,

There was considerable excitement and inter
est shown in the grain markets during the past
week, and at times a decidedly panicky feeling
prevailed, with a general rapid and severe de-
cline in values all round. The speculative
element lacke1 confidence in the trade, and the
pressure to sell was urgent and imperative.
The markets oI Monday showed considerable
weakness, but it was not until after the close
of Change that the decided downward move
mem set in. The failure of a large and promi-
nent "long" firm who were operating
heavily was one Of the principal rea-
SONS of the break, and up to Wednesday
night all the markets were rapidly declining.
The stocks in store are heavy all round there
was no encouragement in the tone of European
or New York advices on the other hand these
markets were considerably lower. The weather
was all that could be desired for the growing
crops and rather warm for the accumulated
grain in store. The rapid decline in values
was checked ON Thursday under a good demand
from shorts, who were buying at the decline,
but again became firm at the close of the weeb
and ruled easy.
The following table shows the prices current
at the opening and close of the past week:

Grating of Animal Structures,

Within the last $50 years amateur ex-
perimepters and surgeons have learned
that every sort of animal structure will,
under certain favorable conditions, re-
produces itself to some extent-the skin,
cartilage, nerve, muscle, bone, and V e
the teeth. The teeth spring from
a little bag or f%ollicle, in
whichis the organ of ivory and
that for the production of enamel.
When an entire %follicle was taken from
a puppy, and grated into an adult dog,
the germ was regularly developed to
the production of a complete tooth. The
enamel when grated alone persisted,
while the organ of ivory produced an
ivory tooth. These interesting researches
lead to the hope that teeth may some
day be thus restored, seeing that an en-
tire organ with a. complete structure is
more likely to grow than when it is only
a fragment transplanted and isolated,
like a piece of bone.

To LEAD ALL COMPETITORS is the aim
of the proprietors of the Wilson shuttle sewing
machine. 1t is founded on the very best prin-
ciples known to sewing machine science, and
improvements, in advance of all other sewing
machines, are being adopted constantly. The
Wilson is rapidly gaining the preference of all
parties that are acquainted with sewing ma
chimes, and it has already taken the front rank
among, the first-class machines Of this country
and its price, owing to its being manufactured
where labor and material is much cheaper
han in Eastern cities, is fifteen dollars less
than all other first-class machines. Machines
will be delivered at any railroad station in this
county, free of transportation charges, if or
dered through the company's branch house at
1877 State street, Chicago. They send an ele-
CANT catalogue and chrome circular free on APP
plication. This company want a few more

LOVE.
A LYRIC.

Oh Love, that can't to me on lightest wing
One dawning morning of the dewy spring,
When the years earliest lark awoke to sing;
OF Love, that swept aside, as if in jest,
The old companions / had cared for best,
Through all the days of my unbroken rest;
oh Love, that took from me the mantle gray,
Which gentle peace had round me wrapped alway,
And babe contentment leave my onward way
oh Love, that decked me in the loneliness
OF an intense ethereal happiness,
And babe it henceforth be my daily dress;
Oh Love, that sent through all my tingling frame
A glowing warmth 1 knew not how to name,
Which burnt upon my cheek in crimson fame;
Oh Love, my strong and overlooking heart,
Which bore throughout that day so proud q part,
Believed how beautiful a thing thou art.
oh Love, that left me on a wintry day,
When earth in an enshrouding wilderness lay,
And all the sunless face of heaven was gray;
Oh Love, that snatched from me my glorious dress
Nor cared that in my naked loneliness
found no refuge from my deep distress;
oh Love, that looked upon me standing there,
My hopes as gray, and all my life as bare
As sky and earth, above, around me were;
Oh Love, that flying never turned thy head,
Nor marked one tear Of all the many shed
For the departed, for contentment dead;
Oh Love, that found me peacefully secure,
That gave me riches which might not endure,
And left me SO UNNECESSARILY poor;
Oh Love, my feeble and all empty heartv
Which bore throughout that day so sad a part,
Knows what an awful thing thou vert and art.

IT is often remarked by strangers
visiting our State that we show a larger proper
ton of good horses than any other State in the
Union. This, we tell them, is owing to two
principal reasons in the first place, we breed
from the very best stock and in the second
| place, our people use Sheridan's Caudlry Con-
dition POWDERS, which, in our judgment, are of
incalculable advantage.

Packing Fruit.


In no art are we more deficient than that
of packing fruit, so that it may be carried
long distance without injury. Three-fourths
OF all our summer fruits sent to market any
considerable distance, are more or less injured.
Indeed, much that is brought to cities by
growers only few miles distant, is scarcely
fit for sale. Occasionally fruits are sent us,
with request to exhibit them at our horti-
cultural shows, but in most cases the speci-
mems are so injured when received, as to be
entirely unfit to show. Mr.. Kidd, gardener
to the Marquis of Beradalbane, who sends
fruits and flowers from the garden near
Hampton Court, England, to the Highland
residence of the Marquis, subject to five hun
dred miles carriage, is SO successful in pack
ing, that he can send fully ripe tomatoes
without losing fruit" and bouquets when
received will be fresh as when first picked.
He gives his method of packing fruit as fol-
lows:
/ have found no better method in all my
experience, which has extended over period
of twenty years, with all kinds of fruit. vary
ing in distance from fifty to five hundred
miles. 1t simply is-box, soft paper and
sweet bran. A box is chosen, in size accord
ing to the quantity to be sent. A layer of
bran is put on the bottom; then each bunch
of grapes is held by the hand over the center
Of sheet of paper; the four corners of the
paper are brought up to the stalk and nicely
secured: then laid on its side in the box, and
so on, until the first layer is finished. Then
fill the whole, cover with bran, and give the
box gentle shake as you proceed, Begin
the second layer as the first, and so on until
the box is completed. Thus, with neat hands
the bloom is preserved, and may be sent to
any distance; but with clumsy hands quite
the contrary, and often an entire failure, as
the putting in and taking out Of the box are
the most important points to be observed. I
have invariably packed sixty or eighty bunch
es of grapes, and fifty or sixty dozen of
peaches or apricots in one box, and received
letters from employers, to say that they have
from the trees that morning.-EI.
