President Grant,s AIIeRed Losses.

President Grants Alleged Losses.
Grant needs rest. He looks careworn
and not quite well. I understand that he
is heartily glad his term is so nearly over,
and that he says this year has been severer
or him than all the other seven. His friends
declare that he never had the least desire
for a third term, and that nothing would
have persuaded him to accept it. Above
everything ho wants rest he is tired to
death of Washington, and expresses an
ardent hope that he may never enter the
city again after his successor has been in
augurated Being President, he thinks,
shakes confidence in human nature. and
nearly paralyzes faith in the possibility of
friendship.
A man who claims to know tells me that
the stories of Grants pecuniary losses are
not without foundation that the President
was partner in large real estate specula-
tions with Murphy in II, 70 and 73, and
that when the September panic came, being
unable to realize or borrow money on their
property, they had to sell it at less than
half they had given. My informant says
that Grant has been worth nigh $4G0 600,
and that now, if his affairs were settled, he
would not have over 100000. Some of
Grants friends. on the other hand, deny
that he has had any serious losses.-Long

Gen. Woodford,s NIeeting.

Definite arrangements will at once be
made for the meeting at the Opera House
on the evening of the 9th inst, to be ad-
dressed by General Stewart L. Woodford,
ex-Leutenant Governor of New York,
General Woodford has made the appoint
ment positive, life and health permitting,
and has authorized the announcement that
he will reply to the speech delivered last
week by Senator Bayard before the New
Jersey Democratic Convention at Trenton.
at the Convention of the Republicans in
that State, held at New Brunswick, some
fortnight ago, General Woodford was the
orator of the occasion, and made splendid
address his review, here, Of Mr.. Bayard's
theories will undoubtedly be feature, not
merely of the State canvass, but in the
national campaign, for we may speak almost
without reservation in praise of his ability
in argument and his eloquence and skill 90

a Coal Con1rnct thnt Pnid.

One Of the instances of the coal burst is
OF interest in this city. Some time ago the
Reading School Board advertised for pro-
posals to furnish 600 tons Of coal. Henry
W. Stump. pushing young man of this
city, put in his bid TO furnish good coal at
SO 80 Is, and the contract was awarded to
him. A number of dealers predicted that
the coal could not be furnished at that rate.
just when Mr. Stump was making prepara-
tions to buy, the coal compact bursted, and
down dropped the prices in coal at the
mines over dollar per ton wholesale, thus
putting at least six hundred dollars right
into MIR. Stumps pocket at one move. To-
day nut coal is retailed in Reading at So so,
SO %, and "a per ton small stove, $4 so

''Several Montreal houses have recalled

A Now sugar Indu.try

A Southern exchange states that good
syrup is now being manufactured from the
juice of watermelons in Florida. Twelve
gallons of juice yield one gallon Of syrup,
and the proprietors OF the works hope to
make the ratio nine to one by improvements
in the process. The melon has long been
known as possible source of sugar, but
only lately has it been treated for chat pro
duct. The Florida factory is the first. per-
bsps, established in the South. In CaIifor-
MIA the experiment is not 30 new. con
siderable amount Of syrup and some sugar
are made from wetermelons on an island in
the Sacramento river, where that fruit grows
abundantly and in perfection.

Signs Of Retter rimas.

Fears that the coming winter will be an
exceptionally severe one on our working
people are being dispelled by many stable
signs of brisk trade this autumn. Even in
New England, where the business depres-
sion has been most disastrously felt, quite
a number of the large mills, silent for
many months past, are starting into action;
and on " full time" for the fall and winter
In our own State, some of the furnaces,
mills, and factories, shut upfor over year,
have been re-opened, and work has been or
will be resumed very shortly. The reason
OF this is that prices have touched their
lowest point, and show signs OF improve
ment. Stocks Of goods have been reduced
to the bare boards, or very near them the
products of the country have been unpre-
cedenteds and there is at last some en-
enlargement to resume traffic with pros
pect of profit, for that is the greatest busi-
ness magnet. II our merchants and manu-
facrurers can now resurrect the old time
commercial confidence, we may look for the
dawn of better times very soon.-Philddel-
pbid Inquirer.

The PeriIs OF BaIIOonInx,

The New Haven Register gives the fol-
lowing account Of recent attempted bal
loon ascension in that city
The ascent was made few minutes after
IL o'clock. In the balloon, besides Mr..
Thomas, were Wallace W. Ward, F. G. ALL
mutt and Robt. Z Day. The balloon sailed
upwards, and, owing to change of wind,
was carried over the insurance building.
While suspended here the balloon sank sud
denly toward the roof. This was not needed
by the men controlling the rope, as it con.
sJantIy sank and rose upon the previous
tglps The tops of the trees prevented
MIR. Thomas signals being seen, and those
who saw the descent of the balloon did not
realize it's danger. As it was, however,
portion of che netting caught upon ther all
ing or balustrade on the top and near the
northeast corner of the building. The
basket was Jhrown heavily against the rail
ing, and a pinnacle and a portion Of the
top rail were broken off The basket was
swinging down a short distance and hung
by the cord attached to the balustrade,
against the French roof, some 147 feet from
the ground. The balloon was blown to the
south of the basket, and caught upon light
ning rod which ran up the chimney on the
east side of lie building. The sharp point
Of the rod penetrated the great bag of gas
torn in the side of the balloon. The gas
escaped in 10 time, and the basket was
left hanging by tie netting on the front OF
Tue building, while the balloon itself fell
over the east side dragging the mass OF
of cords with it, In the meantime, Mr..
Thomas had seized hold OF the edge Of the
roof and held on for dear life. Mr.. Ward
then climbed up the ropes to the roof and
was safe He was followed by Mr.. Day,
who, with Mr.. Wards assistance, made the
ascent also. Mr.. Allnutt was aided in the
same manner to leave the basket. Mr..
Thomas, from his position above the bask-
ct, gained the roof much easier than the
others. When he, too, had climbed upon
the roof, the anxious crowds on the street
breathed easier The escape was narrow
one. If the netting had not provldentially
caught upon the railing, the basket would
have been thrown over the side Of the in
surance building down to the roof Of the
Globe building. This would, in all proba
bihty, have resulted in the death Of the en-
tire party. AS it was, they got off with &
few bruises ssand bad scare. One Of Mr.
Days arms was crushed between the basket
and the side of the building, but the injury
is not serious one. Mr.. Ward also got
few bruises. All we're seriously frightened
realizing the perilous position in which
they were placed.

Cost OfAndIan Wars,

Indian war rather strikingiy. He recently
remarked TO correspondent OF the Omaha
Herald that if ten soldiers were placed in a
line with an Indian at one end, and the
American people could be brought to un-
derstand that in order to secure the scalp
OF that one Indian it would require the sac
rifce of the ten soldiers and an expenditure
of $500, 900 in money, they might be led &c
inquire whether the ecalp was really worth
die outlay.

There is an impression that Mr.. Dorshei-

is gentleman. This appears to be a mis-
take. In his speech at Boston, last week
his manner of alluding to the Republican
candidate for President was "Mr. Hayes,
or Col. Hayes, or Msjor Hayes, or Capt.
Hayes, or Corporal Hayes-he held some
rank, of which the country is not fully in
formed, during the late war" A gentee

ture it does not become us to speak at
length. Mr.. Febiger, who is renominated
for the Levy Court, has had four years. ex-
perience in that body, and it lie agreed on
all hands that he is capable and efficient
member. The very large vote which he
received on Saturday was given him on ao-
count of the public confidence in his fitness
for the place,an he may accept it as tes-
timonial of that sort. The candidates for
County Assessors are both good men, and
in the Northern District, where the major
ity is sure to be very large, Mr.. Grubb is an
excellent selection, being popular, well
qualified, and deserving of the place.
