Is There a Sound Business Revival?

Is there u sound and real revival of
business On the whole we believe
there is. Setting aside the natural stir
and increase in purchases here, in Phil
adelphia and elsewhere In the large
cities, by the hundreds of thousands
who have viewed and are visiting the
Centennial SHOVE setting aside the usual
and even in dull years constant increase
in business at this season of the year !;
putting away carefully all temporary
causes, we see reason to believe that
there is, not only here in New York, but
all over the country, real revival OF
trade, moderate In its proportions, eau
tious, as it ought to be, and promising
to last and to increase and to have it's
effect upon general industry.
The evidences of this business revival
attract attention, as we see by the news
papers, not only here, but in Boston,
Chicago, in st. Louis-at all the cen
tiers of trade, in fact. There are more
people buying the Southern trade is
said to be uncommonly brisk this year !;
Western commerce also brisk, and mer-
chants from all parts of the country are
replenishing their stocks in manner
which seems to show that not only are
their shelves bare, but they have, on
survey of the condition of their custo-
mers, concluded that these viii buy and
will have money to pay. There can be
no doubt, in fact, of the present activity
of trade. The main question is, will it
continue, or is it only squirt, spas
modic movement? We believe we see
reasons for holding that it is not spas
modic, but that, unless some now unfore-
seen cause intervenes, it will continue.
and we are at last on the upward way

Suing q Suicide.

It is rarely the fortune of man to be
sued for committing suicide, although
in the old police courts of New York
many who attempted suicide and failed
were committed to prison by the magis-
trates under charge of disorderly
conduct" Warren A. Sherwood COM
mitted suicide in the st. Charles Hotel,
st. Louis, on March 81, 1876, and now
Mr.. T. B. Raymond, proprietor of the
hotel, files claim against the deceased's
estate in the Probate Court of st. Louis.
In his complaint, Mr.. Raymond says
that on the 9th of March, 1876, and
long prior to that time, he was the keeper
of a hotel and doing prosperous bust
ness that the deceased was one of his
regular boarders that deceased, on the
day named, wrongfully, felonously,
and maliciously committed the crime of
murder upon himself :" chat by reason
of said malicious and felonious crime,
the plaintiff was greatly damaged in his
business, his boarders leaving his house
and their places not being filled by
others. Claimant therefore demands an
allowance against said estate of the sum
of $1,000. Claimant further states that
the Coroner held an inquest on the body
of the deceased at his hotel, which
caused people to talk about his house
and to avoid it; for this he puts in a
further claim for 5000, making in all

Too Much Scripture.

The building committee of a church
recently finished in New Jersey wanted
a stone slab over the door with the name
of the church and scriptural motto.
It occurred to them that nothing could
be better than I" Ny house shall be called
the house of prayer" So one of the
committeeman, who was In great hurry,
told the stonecutter to chisel the twelfth
verse of the twenty-frst chapter OF
Matthew. He thought the verse ended
with the words he wanted to use. The
stonecutter took the whole verse from
the Bible and faithfully copied it to the
end. Imagine the horror of the COM
mittee-men when the stone was deliver
ed. 1t read: my house shall be
called the house of prayer, but ye have
made il den of thieves" The stone
cutter insisted that he had obeyed or
ders. But the committeeman insisted
that the motto he inscribed was not
wanted, and it would be of no particular
use to them. The slab is now at the
stonecutter's yard, and anybody who
wants it for a tombstone can probably
buy it cheap. Jersey City Journal.
