1.-The United States senate seems to be
in luck. To supplant Gen. Logan with
Judge Davis, and to replace man of
moderate ability like Mr.. Norwood with
man OF power like MIR. Ben. Hill, means
gain for the senate in brains, if not in

brains there are in the senate, the fewer

A DARING ROBBERY.

READING, Pa, Aug. 13.-Shartlesville,
a pretty little town ON the Berks and
Lehigh Railroad, was thro wn into an tin-
usual commotion ON Saturday by bold
and successful robbery perpetrated in
broad daylight. A daughter of Mr.
Joseph Foose, while engaged in knead-
ing dough, her parents being absent,
was approached by man whose face
was completely disguised with hand
kerchief. He playfully extended his
hands to her, which she innocently took,
believing that he was friend and would
instantly reveal himself He grasped
her firmly, when an accomplice appear
ed, pinioned her hand behind her back,
and tied her feet. One of the thieves
then placed revolver at her temple, and
threatened to shoot If she made any out
cry. The other thief ransacked the
house, and succeeded in securing money,
jewelry and a LOT of clothing. They es-
capped with their booty and have not yet
been arrested. +. "

The reduction in wages for the past
five years is estimated at about 80 per
cent; the reduction in the prices of the
necessities of life is about the same. The
difficulty is not so much in the small
amount of money that can be earned as
in finding work at any rates, and the
trouble can only be overcome by such a
perfect reconciliation between capital
and labor as will restore the confidence
of those who have money to invest =

rage on the Rio Grande corroborates the

OUR FOREIGN COMMERCE.

The report of DIR. Edward Young.
Chief OF the Bureau of statistics, shows
that the commerce of the year ending
June 80, 1878, amounted to $1,149 5y0,-
662, sum which has been excelled only
two or three times In the history of the
Republic. For two or three years be-
ginning with 1872 there was larger
volume Of trade than this, but after the
effects of the panic of 1873 had fairly ex-
tended TO the corners of the country,
commerce shrunk 500 900 900, and it has
not yet regained its full proportions. II is
doing SO rapidly however,the figures given
above being gain on 1875 and 1876. The
balance in favor of the United States on
June 40 was, in merchandise, $l5f,013,- :
4S2, and in coin SIC, 1926. 1872, or a total of
$167, ,239, PA. This is SAT, 200, 900 better
than last year. The balance Is not a.
large as expected, owing to the recent
riso OF prices in the U United States, which
has caused exports to fall of at the rate
OF several millions week, and owing
alsa to the increased imports of mer-
chandise to replenish the stocks held by
merchants which were getting low. The
report Is satisfactory, however in the ex-
treme, for it shows the excess of exports
OF specie was only $l5,326, 1852, against
$40, ,569,62I last year, while the excess of
exports of merchandise Was $15l ,9l3, ,4S2
against SIS, 9,643, 4S1 last year. Whatever
the internal condition of the country, It's
loreign commerce appears TO be healthy,
and forms one of the cheering features of
the business situation.
