Business Movements.


The tendency of business movements
to increased activity, noticed in our col
umns heretofore, continues to be devel-
oped in a very satisfactory degree. 1t
is now we'll aseertained that the in
creased activity observable within the
past two months was no mere fiction. no
temporary spurt, no sudden paroXysm;
but steady, nealthtul, permanent
growth; and that growth is steadily ad-
vancing. There has been no time tor
five years when so many people were
travelling. The Centennial may have
something to do with this. But it none
the less signifies that there is no lack of
money among the people. whereby they
are able to consult their pleasure as well
as to promote their business. The rail-
roads are moreover taxed to their ut
most to meet the demands for the move
ment OF eights, both Of produce and
merchandise.
In the eastern cities all reports con-
cur in saying that the whole business
aspect is changed from gloom and de-
preston to cheertulness and activity.
A leading New York paper of last Mon
day says:
"The feeling of depression has passed
away under the influence OF a gradual
revival in all branches of trade. Every
thing looks brighter. We have touched
bottom, and are now beginning to exper-
ience the rebound. In dry goods brisk
fall ira de at advancing prices has al
ready set in. There are at present more
retail buyers in the market from the
South, Southwest and West than at any
time Within the past four years. They
buy with great confidence and liber-
alfty."
The past stringency has had the nee
essary effect to produce small stocks
Of all classes of goods. The inevitable
consumption 10y the forty millions of our
people has meanwhile gone on, and now
the demand for new supplies is impera-
lively asserting itself; and manufac-
turers and markets are stimulated in
corresponding degree. The country's
stocks Of staple goods, as compared with
the country's needs,Wer never SO small
as now. 1t is true also that such goods
were never cheaper than now. But
this stimulates the demand, and conse-
quently quickens trade and begets ac-
tivity In manufacturing. Excessive
prices always indicate an unhealthful
relation between supply and demand
and beget abnormal disturbances in |
market values. Steadiness in markets |
is the prime element Of healthful and
successful trade.
For the. past three years the country |
has really exceeded itself in the average |
abundance Of its agricultural produe-
tion, Consequently, while the agricul.
tural population were never so destitute
Of accumulated supplies, they were
never more able to pay than now. More |
over, the paper currency of the country |
is now nearer to the standard of gold |
than at any time since the beginning Of
the. war, in 1861. The present difference
OF only about 8 per cent. is less than at
any previous time for fifteen. years.
Furthermore, We read of daily arrivals,
of large amounts of gold from Europe,
which must operate to bring our cur
rency still nearer to par with. gold; and
thus place business on firm and steady
basis.
1t Is true that there are certain classes

glide. BOUND" TREEs.-Trees that
have long stems exposed TO hot suns or
drying winds, become what gardeners
call, "hide-bound" That Ia, the old
bark becomes indurated-can not ex-
pand and the tree suffers much in con-
sequence. Such an evil is usually
indicated by gray liehens which feed
on the decaying bark. In these cases a
washing of weak lye or of limewater is
yery useiul;. indeed, where the bark is
healthy, it is beneficial thus to wash the
trees, as many eggs ofinsects are there
by destroyed. We would, however,
again refer to. o.linseed Oil as a wash, as
tar more effective for insects, and would,
perhaps, do as well for moss and lichen.
After all, these seldom come when trees
are well cultivated. It is neglect makes
poor growth, aud poor growth, lichens.---

remark that the quarrel between the

the trouble in Hamilton County, is not
likely to help the fight that is still ahead.

To the Editor of the Star:
DEAR SIR lake the liberty to ask
you question, which If you will be so
kind to answer in your valuable paper
you will not only confer IA great favor on
me, but also to q great many others in n
similar position. 1t Is something that q
great many differ on, namely. l am
Lwenty-two years of age; have resided
in Cincinnati eighteen years; am foreign
born; my father has been a naturaliEed
voter tor the last ten years. Am l enti-
tied to a vote, or must nave a paper
before can vote.
Yours truly, L. BRUNER.
You are lawful voter without taking
any naturalization papers in your own
name. Tne law in such a case is, that
the children of persons duly naturalized,
being under the age of twenty-oue years
at the time of their parents being so nat
.uralized, are, if dwelling in the United
States, considered as citizens of the
United States.

COAL ASHES FOR PEAR TREEs.-CoaI
ashes have a. wonderful effect upon pear
trees, especially those growing in light
soil. Our ashes otlasJ winter were used
around trees in liberal quantities, and

give up their hold on life, have been

the wIcks OF Kerosene lamps should be

Meeting in the Fifth Ward.

An Independent Greenback meeting was
Id la the Douglas, Cottage Gr,ve avenue
and Thirty fifth street, Saturday eveLing.
About one hundred persons were present.
The meeting was organized by calling Mr..
Thomas A. Hill to the chair Mr. F. NJ.
Dandy acted as Secretary.
The Char said the object Of the meeting
was to organize the Ward in the Tudepen-
dent Greenback party, and introduced Mr..
Bonhed, who imade a short address on
the object spoken Of by the chair.
Speeches were also delivered BY Dr. Tay-
Tor, ex-Alderman Gaggv and Mr.. Lieman Mr..
Christian was called for, and after a good
of persuasion, that gentleman came forward.
He prefaced his remarks by saying that, after
the very eloquent speeches which had heen
made by the gentlemen who had preceded
him, he would only say few words, by way
Of exhortation. He then poured red-hot
shot into the Democratic and Republican
ranks The late developments in Washing
ton and the corrupting influences Of the Adj
ministration were handled without gloves, as
were also the corrupt rings Of our own city
government The speaker then turned to the
currency question, and dwet at some length
on the absurdity of resuming specie payment.
From an investigation of this subject, he
found there was not money enough in the
country to pay the outstanding indebtedness
1t the government The way to make the
country prosperous, said Mr.. Christian. Sis
to make money plent, We are MT inha-
tiouists; but We want money enough to carry
on the business OF the country"
Mr.. Springer was the next to come before
the audience and spoke pretty much in the
same STRAIN as the preceding 81 eaker. He
advocated the Decatur platform as the only
means of saving the State, and said that the
Independent party intended to nominate a
national ticket on the same principles.
Mr.. A. c. Cameron being preseIO, was
called upon, but declined on account of the
lateness Of the hour.
after appointing a Committee to provide
special quarters for the future meetings of the
Ward, the meeting adjourned, subject to the
call of the Secretary.

How to Grow Rich.

If a mechanic or clerk saves only 23c. per
day from the time he is twenty-one until
he is three score and ten, the aggregate
with interest will amount to s.. 900; and a
daily saving Of 27t cents reaches the i'll
portant sun Of 800 600. A sixpence saved
daily will provide a sum OF s., 000-suffi-
cient to buy farm. There are few EN-
ployes who cannot save daily, BY abstain
ing from the use Of cigars, tobacco, liquor
etc, twice or ten times the amount Of the
Six cent piece. Every person should pro-
vide for an old age, and the man in bust
ness who lay by dollar a day will even
tually find himself in possession Of over
S1G0, 600.

Farmers Clubs.

We believe in farmers clubs, not
ONLY because our reason tells us that
the mutual interchange Of experience
is productive of more experience;
not only because the experience of
many is more reliable than the eXpe-
rience of one, and is useful to all; not
only because an acquaintance with the
practice of others adds power to our
selves to subjugate our farm to our
needs; but because actual practice
the actual existence and living expe-
rience-has shown conclusively that an
active. working. well-sustained farm
e.s' club has been. and is, of great
value. not only TO the participants
the, Elm. but also to the neighborhood
wner in it is organized.
Zach member should be an active
one. and should be willing to attend
and take part in its deliberations. IN
order that this may be so, he must be
put under an obligation 10 attend and
do his part. Such an obligation may
readily be formed by the pressure of
the inherent force of courtesy and
hospitable neighborhoodship. Let the
membership of the club be limited by
the number of meetings that 1t is de-
sirable should be held during the
winter. and then let each meeting De
held at the house of one OF the MEM
beers, turn by turn. Have regular
hour for meeting, and let an entertain
ment be prepared by the host from the
productions OF the farm, of a simple
vet social character. Fruits and nuts
would probably be all that would be
desirable 10 be furnished. The officers
should be president tor each meeting

bers should also bring of their bnttar

and the comparison of products and
the bringing together of the diverse
practices and experiences would afford
instruction and entertainments for tba

Standing collars are more fashion
able than those turned over in Byron
shape, but should be of medium
height, instead Of the extreme style
adopted by many. Some have the
points rolled over, while the newest
have the corners erect, but far apart,
leaving the throat exposed. The fash
ionable Laertes cuffs are square and
nearly meet, but must not lap, as they
are to be fastened by linked sleeve
buttons.
Two-buttoned kid gloves are most
liked by gentlemen. Those with broad
embroidery or Substituting on the
back are more stylish than when
stitched with black or other contrast
ing color. Slate, mode and brown
shades are most used for general wear !;
fawn and russell colorS are very styl-
ish. Pretty gray shades are shown for
gentlemen just leaving off mourning.
Dress hats are black silk beavers,
with crown seven inches high, in light
bell-shape. The brim, an inch and
seven-eighths wide, has round curve.
The twelve-line" band is tritle over
an inch wide. Price from So to 80.
Undress hats are black felt with stiff
crowns, similar to the Derby shape,
but more pointed. The brim is curved
like those Of dress hats. The name
given such hats is West End and their
price is $3.50. Black and brown are
the popular colors for undress hats.
Soft felt hats are shown in variety
of shapes. -H0rper's Bazar.
