as invested with more quesnly dignity

An Illinois farmer says: MY cattle
will follow me until leave the lot, and
on the way up to the barnyard IN the
evening stop and call Tor lock OF hay '
Brown says there is nothing at all re-
markable about that.- He went into
barn yard in the country one day last
week, where no had not the slightest
acquaintance with the cattle, and an old
bull not only followed him until he left
the lot, but took the gate of The hinges
and raced with him to the house in the
most familiar way possible. Brown ssys
he has no doubt that the old fellow
would have called for something il he
had waited awhile, but he didn't want TO
keep the folks waiting Tor dinner. SO he
hung one tail Of bis coat and piece OF
pants on the bulls horns and went into
the house.

The number of failures among business
houses last year reached the high figure OF
7,7l0 The gross liabilities of these unfor-
tunate firms footed up to over two hundred
millions of dollars. This was n worse show
ing than that of the year just previous;
and 1875 was wardly IN exceptionally
bad year in respect of trade.
1t must be borne in mind, however that
most of these houses actually fell under
blows received at the time of the decline
OF prices which followed the panic of 1873.
Though this decline came suddenly, It
proved permanent and severely tried
every house that was not amply sustained
by capital During the next year thou

extensions or 10y close laundering, nan-

OF great activity in trade might have saved
them. But 1t did not come. They were
harass,d with the oblrat ons of the past,
and depressed 10y the present sta"nation Of
business. Their attempt to weather The
storm proved unavailiug, and in 1873
they ostensibly made the failures

had been suspicious, their efforts woul
have been successful; but they were fight
Ing against the tide. Therefore it is not
reasonable to hold the last year as SO des-
peratc one in business sense us the
record Of failures seems to imply.
The houses that have stood the stress of
the squally weather of the two years are
those which by reason of strength of cap
ital or exceptional prudence have been
able to meet the storms. These are really
strengthened by the wce,lng-out process
which has caused so much individual dis
tress. Though they may be obliged to con-
tent themselves with \ smaller percentage
OF profit, yet they have learned lesson of
economy, forecast, and self-control which
will IN the end profit them exceedingly.
The indications are that to all those bust
ness men who carefully husband their re-
sources, this year VIII be one of fair profit.
