THE Financial Chronicle, a good author
iiy, in its last issue expresses the belief that
the financial troubles have been at their
worst that the next few months will bring
but few failures, and that there will be an
Improvement in business, involving such
an Improvement in the money market as
will enable nil the banks TO pay their dlvl'
dends next October. But there is an III
evitabte tendency to lower rates OF interest
smaller profits from business, and dmIn'
ished dividends, and capitalists and ousl'
ness men should make their expenditures
in accord with the changed conditions o
the times.

SOME days ago the Reading Eagle warn |
ed the young ladies and parents Of that
city against a scheme which had been put
in practice by some villains in Phiadel-
phia, which, if successful, would bring sor-
row and disgrace upon numerous homes in
the State and the nation. This scheme
consisted of nothing more nor less than an
attempt, by means of carefully worded ana
highly laudatory letters, TO inveigle young
ladies to Philadelphia on the pretense llla'
| their services would be required "urlnS
the Centennial exhibition. 1t has been as
certained that these letters are sl8heu oS
"Hayes, Arlington & Bros, Agents ior
the Executive Committee. They state
that ;hey desire to employ 'comely ana
respectablc young ladies, =, who will be pia-
ced in charge of news and Hover stands'or
who will be required to sell pictures, BOOKS
oct nc cashiers in refreshment saloons ana
the like. Wages are promised at the rate
of from eight to fifteen dollars per week.
besides EXPENSES paid and a chance to see
the exhibition gratis. The young ladies' to
whom these letters are sent are cautioned
against consulting their parents. "dS The!
,,igbt object to so advantageous scheme ,
When it is stated that Haynes, Arlington
& Bro. are acting entirely without authorl
ty from the Centennial Commission, ant
without their knowledge and consent, th
,, object OF The villains should be made ap
parent to every person of diScernment.-
Unfortunately the recipients OF these let
tiers are not all so lucky as TO possess bot
beauty and sound Judgment, and the pre-
liabilities are that unless steps are speedii
!. taken to put a stop to this outrageou
scheme many unsuspecting girls Will g
