entertainments given by the city, and it
may be safely said that the old building
has seen more fair women and brave men
than any other ON the continent. But
twenty years ago fashionable New York
began to move uptown, and the territory
in the vicinity of the battery was given up
to Sgade. Old Stephen Whitney, the pro-
jeetor of the Pacific Railroad, refused to
move with the rest of his neighbors, and he
died in his house on Bowling Green, years
after he was completely surrounded with
business Then Castle Garden was turned
into a depot for incoming emigrants, and
its old character was gone forever It's

those who were young twenty-five years

simply the destruction of an unsightly old

Mining in Colorado.

Several of the custom mills have been
short of ore for the past two weeks, which
seems to imply decrease of production.
In reality, however, it does not, for we
now have about one hundred and seventy
five more stamps in operation than form
erly, making total of six hundred and
seventy-ive as against five hundred at the
beginning of the year. To keep that num-
Der busy, requires extensive and contin-
uous mining. 1t also involves the further
fact that each mine shall pay continuously.
A dealer in ores, who makes daily rounds
over the mountains, informs us that within
short time, at least thirty men have gone
to work upon undeveloped mines, and
many, perhaps a majority, are taking out
excellent surface quartz. In some instan-
ces he saw single man at work in shall
low shaft, picking and gadding out rich
looking material. When sufficient had
been broken to obstruct further working,
he came out and hoisted it. These men
are making excellent wages, beside furn-
ishing employment to stamps that might
otherwise be idle. Large accessioLs are
being made to our working forces daily,
and they will find occupation somewhere.
If there is no place for them in the large
mines, they will try their luck among the
smaller ones, and the chances are that most
of them will be successful. Go into the
banks at any time and ask to see their
gold, and you will find that considerable
proportion of their weekly purchases is
composed of small lots, in retorts of from
| five to twenty ounces each. This indicates
that large number of small parties are at
| work here and there, wherever a promising
| crevice is exposed. Central City Register,

The Fighting Trick

Soon after a misunderstanding red head
nue. saloon yesterday, little, withered up
old man came in and asked him to take
something. They both drank, the cigars
were called for, and the little man suddenly
turned to the other and said:
'For thirty long years have followed
your trail day and night! You broke up
my happy family, villain that you are, but
now come out here and fight me like a
man p
g will fight you to death y was the de-
termined reply, and both rushed into the
back yard, talking about bowie-knives, un-
honored graves, and so forth. The saloon
ist ran to the front door, whfstled for po-
liceman, and and then hurried to the back
door to protest. He saw coat-tail going
over the fence, realized the situation, and
went in and solemnly wiped off his bar with
his elbow, while sad smile lurked around
the corners of his mouth Detroit Free

Failures for the First Two Quarters Of

The Mercantile Agency Of r. G. Dun 6

ness in the United States. Their following

The first quarter shows an increase over
the corresponding quarter of 1875 of 824 in
the number of failures and S21, ,000, 900 in
the amount of liabilities. The second
quarter, compared with the second quarter
of 1875, shows an increase in the number of
failures of 215, and Of $4,000, 900 in the
amount of the liabilities. For the six
months of 1876, there is an increase over
the first half of 1875 of 1,O37 in the num-
Der of failures and of $31, 600, 600 in the
amount of liabilities. These figures are GER
tainly discouraging, but the Agency dis
covers a ray of light in the large decrease
in the number of failures and amount Of IL
bilities for tie second quarteTsof this year,
as compared with the first quarter. The
variation, which is in the right direction, is
greater than ever before in the same period
and as the liabilities for the quarter just
closed are So, 100000 less than the average
liabilities of each quarter in the past eigh-
teen months, the Agency thinks there is
some encouragement for the belief, now
gen orally entertained, that we have seen
the worst effects of the present depression,
SO far as casualties Of this character are
concerned.

THE TEA MARKET

The depreciation in the prices of goods
is shown as much in such articles as tea as
anything. There are hundreds of houses
in the city that have made immense for
tunes in tea and coffee, but they have been
very industriously losing their accumula-
tions in the last four years. There has
been steady depreciation in the value of
this staple, until at the present time it is a
long way below the before-the-war prices.
In 1859, the price of the best young hyson
was so cents per pound at wholesale. In
'72, it got up to 73c., but to-day it is a
drug in the market at 80. And the other
grades are in the same state of health, and
the market shows every tendency toward a
still further decline. Where it will end,
the oldest tea merchant can't tell. The
United States consumes pound OF tea per
annum for every man, woman and child,
makino the annual importation about 45,-
0o0, 900 lbs. Those who had stocks on
hand when the decline set in, have gone
into bankruptcy, and the new houses and
old ones that were strong enough to hold
cut, are shaking for fear of decline that
will shake them.
And by the way, the tecline is as marked
in other lines of goods, as in teas. A suit
of clothes that cost before the war $40, can
be had in New York now for that money,
provided it is of American cloth, and il it
is imported, all the difference is the addi-
tion of the premium on gold, which at this
time makes very little difference. Provis-
ions, and everything we eat and drink, are
down to ante-war prices, and if the people
can't live now, they never will; that is to
say If they have the money TO pay for what
thew consume a few articles Of luxury
keep up, but these will come down in q lit
lie while. The bars, restaurants and ho-
tells. maintain war prices, but they will not
be able to do so long. The topers are
growing, and new men are taking advaat-
age of the feeliEg to start new places at
reduced rates. Let us get work plenty once
more, and the "good old times " will De
here again.
