The case against Mr.. KERR does not
seem to have changed its aspect in any
material degree. 1t all rests upon the
veracity of the witness Harney. And
although that is. not very positively i'm
peached, it seems that his personal ante
cedents have not been excessively pure.
Still, we presume that a man may by
possibility keep mistress and. yet tell
the truth under oath. But the former
does not exactly serve to strengthen the
latter. MIR. Kerr's cTcumstantiald denial
ought, we .think,'to receive at least as
much credence as Harney's statement
should. TO be sure party testifying in
his own behalf is always open to criti-
cism. But as the case now stands, we
conclude that the moral weight of the
evidence is in favor of MIR. Ksrr's limo
cence of the charge. We regretto learn
that his health is so feeble as to compel
him to contemplate resignation.

A MAN familiar with the business of
making gas for city supply has submitted
a carefully prepared estimate Of the cost
of gas production to st. Louis paper.
After stating the amount and cost Of
coal and other material requisite for a
given quantity of gas, and including the
expense of labor, officers salaries,
meters, repairs, collectors, stationary
and incdentals, the net cost amounts to
50 cents per 1000 cubic feet. We pay
81 20 per 1000 cubic feet. Perhaps the
scarcity and high price of "gas stock"
in the market may be accounted for from
these facts. The difference between 50
cents and 50 % is about 81 45 we think,
and is just 18O per cent. profit on the
first cost. Verify, verify, we say unto
you, thars big bonanza for the public
to support.

DIARRHEA CORDIAL,
FOR
Diarrhea, Asiatic Cholera, Choic-

and other Diseases that pro-

Bowels, whether on
Children or Adults

This is no quack nostrum, but the
prescription of II regular and successful
city physician of extensive practice and
reputation; the prescription has been
used for some years In our own families
with invariab!e success.
During the late war it was given to
many OF our friends and volunteers in
the army, who were suffering from Diar"
rhea, caused by change OF water, un-
healthy and improperly cooked food,
and in every case it was used with the
best results.
1t is scientific prescription prepared
with the greatest care, and we recom-
mend it with the utmost confidence as the
best remedy known for the diseases
mentioned.
Every family should have bottle OF
this Cordial ready for immediate use. A.
single dose of only a lew drops in the
early stage OF these diseases will often
check and cure the disorder.
Travellers, who are subject to so many
changes of water and diet, will find this

THE PRICE OF S0HOOL-BOoKS.
What They Sold for i'm 1861 and
What They Sell for To-day.

What They Sold for i'm 1861 and
What They Sell for TO-day.
1t is astonishing to note how the
prices of school books have increased
since 1861. 1t would seem that the sup
ply is hardly equal to the demand wher
one takes the pains to compare the
prices of to-day with those i'll vogue til-
teen years ago. The book publisher
who is fortunate enough to obtain con-
tract to supply such city as Cinoln-
natl with schOOl-OOOks these days may
congratulate himself on having good
thing. The high prices of school-bOOks
have prevented many poor but honest
school. The School Boards have author
ity to furnish the necessity books to
children whose parents are unable to
provide them, but the latter are often
too sensitive and proud, though poor, to
ask such faYors. We have before us a
list OF prices at which books sold in
1861 and as matter of interest we com
pared these rates with those OF to-day.
The books here mentioned were used IN
this city and vicinity previous to 1861.
McGutfey's Speller in 1861 sold for 81
cents per dozen; to-day the price is 81 70.
McGuffeys First Reader n 1861 also sold
retails at 81 IS. We give II schedule of
prices OF other important school books:
McGuff1y's Second Reader sold for so
cents per dozen in 1861; in 1876 the rate
charged is SO 40. The Inird Reader sold
at 81 80 per dozen in 1861; to-day the price
is S4 50. Since 1861 the price of McGu-
fey's Fourth Reader has risen from ~ IS
per dozen to 50 10; the Filth Reader from
20 per dozen to 50 10; the Sixth Reader
from So 50 to $ll. The prices OF other
school books have increased in propor-
ton. For instance, Rays Arithmetic,
Part First, used to retail for 81 per
dozen, now it brings 81 %; Rays Arith-
metic, Part Second, used TO sell at 81 so
per dozen, now So 40 is demanded, and
RAYS Third Book is selling to-day at
IS so. against SO 80 in 1861. A cUmpari-
son of the prices of other books
needed in the schools shows that
the prices have been proportion
ately increased since the war began;
that there is a greater demand for them
since the war we have no doubt, as mill.
ions of people who did not attend school
when the war progressed have been en-
abled to attend since. Free schools dot
every village and SUBURBS in almost the
entire country. But why the booksellers
should keep the prices OF their publlca-
tions up to such high standard now,
when the price of labor Of all kinds has
been reduced, we can hardly under
stand. The school authorities in every
State and city can remedy the evil If
| they feel so disposed.-[C Cincinnati En-
qulrer, Sept. 8.

A New York correspondent, speaking
Of business Indications in that city, says
revival of business has already set IN.
1t Is not expected that it will, at a
bound, reach the volume it attained q
few years ago, but that 1t will be de-
veloped steadily month by month until
it has attained fair proportions. Specu-
latiye transactions are not encouraged.
However anxious our merchants are TO
sell their goods, they exercise, at the
same time, far greater caution than for
merly, and do not press their customers
TO buy more than they have market
for. A fair supply for a legitimate de-
mand is their motto.
Whether the trade which has just be-
gun is to be very much greater than it
was last year remains to be seen. In an
interview with aprominent dry goods
man Yesterday, he told me that the sales
of his firm during the past ten days
| were third more than for the corre-
spending ten days of last year. Yet
| this may be but beginning The season
| ten days earlier than last Year, and his
trade may fall off CORES spondlngly few
| weeks later. But he also informed me
| that he is selling fully third more
| goods to the same customers than he did
last year. This is u better sign of het-
ter times coming. l know manufact tur-
ers Of some staple goods who have al
ready sold out their entire stock which
| they mad manufactured for the tall
| trade, and are now running their facto-
ries day and night to fill their accumu-
lated orders. One of these informed me
that be had more orders than he could
fill in the next sixty days.
All these indications are encouraging
and inspire the community with hopes
of prosperous times near at hand. That
they feel encouraged is shown by the
tone of conversation. On all sides, in-
stead of the complaint that there is
"nothing doing" we hear Lhe remark,
"Business is improving" Nine out OF
ten to whom is addressed the question
"How's business" now answer, Il cant
complain-picking up considerably" AL

AT THE time of the recent uprising OF
cOal-oil prices, the public was generally
impressed with the conviction that this
rise resulted from natural and legiUi-
mate causes, with which rings and mo-
nopolies had nothing to do. Some COM
munications have just now appeared in
the New York papers, ascribing the
whole movement to the operations of
secret rings in the oil market. They
charge that certain railroad monOpolies
ale connected with the business. We
do not see that these allegation are sus-
tanned by any conclusive evidence; but
may have been inspired by disappoint-
ment and i'll will, We hope that rings
do not control everything that men buy
and sell in this country.
