BUSINESS LOOKING UP. - From all
quarters come tidings Of business look
ing I'D, An examination Of all our ex.
changes, Eastern and Western, goes to
convince us that in indicating through
the STAR the growth and revival of busi'
ness as we have done for some time past,
we were pursuing the line Of truth and
fact. This growth has been, as we eX-
pected 1t, and is yet, slow and gradual.
It is on that account even better than as
though it came with rush; for, coming
in this steady and gradual manner, it
comes to stay.
The Chicago Tribune says of that city;
'sIt is generally conceded that there Is
an Improvement in trade. Money is in
abundance, and, while the spirit of dis
trust and caution still rules, there is
clearly more confidence and faith now
than there have been for more than two
years"
The Boston papers all speak in even
more positive terms of the revival of
business and growing activity in manu- :
featuring.
The New York Bulletin, giving the re-
suits OF critical scanning OF the bust
ness prospects, proceeds to say:
"Putting together all these facts, with
the further fact that in a wide range of
other articles in which no rise has been
established there is healthy frmhess,
they must be regarded as amounting to
q very salts factory symptom of the con-
dition of business. They indicate that.
after three years during which consump-
tion has fallen behind supply, the de-
mand is getting an important ascend
ency. 1t is this very condition OF things
for which we have SO long been waiting
as the turning point of the depression;
and now that IL has come, we may reas-
onably expect a steady restoration oil
trade to It's usual activity. There is
nothing that so helps to instill buoy
ant feeling into business as an upward
movement in prices. Merchants see the
value Of their stocks approaching, they
have fewer losses from depreciation
of goods, and their profits are above the
average. And when SUCH advances in
prices start from an abnormally low
level, there are none OF those drawbacks
that attend rise from an already high
range of values, and all regard the
change as healthy one."
Moreover, the season is now ap,
proaching when the crops will be seek.
ing markets, when domestic and family
wants for a change of seasons must be
supplied, when business activities and
movements Of trade In a thousand ways
must be set a-going from very necessity
in the nature of things. Meanwhile
money is cheaper than for years before;
god 10 now touching its lowest point
for fifteen years past, and no indications
ofany reverse movement. So that all
things considered, it is certainly safe to
TO say that business Is really looking up.

THE Sheriff of New York has been
diligently in correspondence with Gov
ernor Tilden for instructions as to what
shall be done with the Hon. William NJ.
Tweed when that distinguished visitor
from abroad lands upon our shores.
He is announced as to sail, with
suite and body guard, on the 21st,
and Will reach New York about
the first of October. 1t would seem
that the Sheriff from whom Tweed es-
capped could not have much trouble about
making the proper disposition OF his il
lustrious guest. Just put him back
again in his old quarters provided for
him by the State. That would be all.
Then why trouble the Governor about
the business?

THE N. Y. World gives list of fifty
four 'prominent gentlemen who have
until the present canvass been actively
identified with the Republican party"
and who are now all Tilden men. Among
those in Ohio the World mentions "Judge
Hoadly, of the Supreme Court of Ohio"
and General Jacob Brinkerhoff OF
Ohie." Now the crookedness in all this
lies in the fact that Hoadly never was
"of the Supreme Court" and Jake Brink
erhoff never was General" Whether
the description or their politics is as
erroneous as of their positions and IT,

much care.

A somnambulist in the Pulpit.

Rev. DR.. Shermer, pastor OF the Meth
odist Protestant Church, Broadway and
Monument street, was in the midst Of
his sermon last Sunday night, when a
rather strange interruption occurred.
A little girl about ten years old arose
from her seat in pew beside her moth
er and walked up the aisle and into the
pulpit, passing behind the preacher.
From the pulpit platform she stepped on
a chair, the back of which was placed
against the pulpit platform, and from
the chair on to the top OF the communion
table, a marble oblong slab several feet
long, in front OF the pulpit.
She walked the length Of the table, and
seemed just about w step or fall to the
floor when she was caught by member
of the Church who came forward. He
lifted her down, when she sank on the
floor. She was Immediately surrounded
by the pastor, her mother, and other
friends, who found that she was sound
asleep. She did not awake until after
her mother had removed her to the pew
from which she had started on peregrina-
tions.
She said she dreamed she was in the
pulpit. DR.. Shei1n1r says he thought
She was some child unused to the place
who wanted drink of water from the
pitcher usually placed at hand for the
preacher. He noticed that her steps
were light and hoiseless, and her eyes
fixed, but he did not suspect she was
walking in her sleep until she passed IN
front of him ON the communion table

sleep-walking, this being her first per-

We have just received the particulars
Of the strange and fatal freaks of the
lightning in Bates County last Wednes.
day. 1t could be seen that terrible
storm was about to break, and Mr.. Elisha
Langhon, wealthy farmer living three
miles from TaborVllle, hurried his whole
force to the field to finish Gaping some
stacks before the rain should lall. A
son aged fourteen and one aged eleven
jumped into wagon which was being
pulled by Il magnificent team of horses,
and started to the field, while grown
son and hired hand followed them, the
man carrying pitchfork in his hands.
TIE old gentleman stood upon his
porch watching the progress of the
storm, when al at once, there was a
keen flash OF lightning, the heavens
seemed to be on fire, and he saw his two
little boys hurled out of the wagon head
foremost, and in a twinkle both horse
dropped. Mr.. Langhon hurried to the
scene and found the boy OF fourteen
struck dead; aud the younger one lying
underneath one OF the horses, both haV-
Jieed signs OF life in the younger boy
and soon succeeded in fescuing him
from his position. The two men who
were following the wagon were SO Sc
verely shocked as to be perfectly dazed
and it was sometime before they suf-
ficiently recovered as to know what had
occurred. The fork was wrenched from
tue hired mans hand, and hurled some
distance from where he stood when the
lightning struck.

The MARQUIS OF WAIERFoRD,-A cor

class cars in Britain, writes: "The Mar
quis OF Waterford always insisted on
travelling thiFd-olass. This annoyed the
railroad authorities, as it was killing
their first and second class travel. One
day the Marquis appeared at the Water
ford station and bought third-class
ticket to Dublin. The railway men
thought to teach him a lesson, and tor
that purpose sat sweep down beside
him in the car, thinking to drive him out.
The Marquis surveyed his travelling
companion for a moment and then
started for the ticket-ofice. GIVE me a
tirst-class ticket to Dublin,' said he.
They thought they had him sure, but he
simply returned to the third-class car,
and making the sweep present Of the
ticket, escorted him aud his brushes to
the first class carriage, and. leaving him
there, returned to his faVorite compart-
ment. So the company did not effect
much by the ruse."
