The Good Time Coming.

The ''business outlook" croak as
we will, does look better. The dis
turbed condition of all European ma
tions, has created an extraordinary
demand for American grain and
meat, so that we have now some
thing besides our cotton and pre-
cious metals and bonds to sell
abroad. The rates of commercial
exchanges have been for many
months in our favor. The business
depression prevailing abroad, far
more seriously than here, has great
ly reduced the foreign production of
goods, and our own markets having
been left to the American manufac-
turers, have now run so low that the
Spring demand for fabrics is becom-
ing more active than for many
months before. New York is now
filed with merchants from all sec
tions of the Union, selecting stocks
for the Spring and Summer trade.
The enormous aggregation of unem-
ployed capital so long locked up in
bank vaults, is again seeking for in
vestment and the whole aspect of
things wears a more positive aspect
of encouragement than at any time
for the past ten years. 1t is not to
be expected, nor is it best that we
should again ride the crests OF spec
Native excitement. But with econ
omy. learned by months of sad ex-
perience. a closer application, a more
careful and methodical conduct of
business, there is no reason to longer
doubt that we have at last entered
upon another era of solid and sub
stantial prosperity. If it be slow in
developT ent it will be the more sure
and lasting.
Confidence in one another; a help
full trust and generous effort to pro
mote the business interests of each
other will surely win the success and
prosperity we have SO long and ar
IDENTIFY crsved. Be of good courage
fellow citizens, the skies brighten.

The most frightful calamity that
ever befel St. Louis took place at a
very early hour on Wednesday
morning, involving the destruction
of the Southern Hotel by fire and
the loss of large number of lives.
1t is feared some forty or fifty per-
ished either by burning directly or
first being smothered by smoke and
then consumed. The FIRE eaught in
the store room in the basement, and
ascended the elevators and rotunda
aud spread itself over the sixth floor,
under the roof. This floor was oc-
cupied entirely by employees of The
hotel. The fire spread rapidly, fill
ing every room and hall with flames
and smoke, and the scene was of
the most terrible description. Fran
tic men, women and children ran
through the halls, shrieking in a
most heartrending manner, in their
wild and desperate efforts to escape.
The density of smoke in the halls
drove many guests and boarders
back into their rooms, and they
rushed to the windows as a means
of escape. Ladders were raised and
the women and the children in their
night clothes were thus taken from
the burning building. Some tainted
from fright and others sank ex-
hausted to the ground. The ladders
generally were too short to reach to
the fifth and sixth stories, but by
hosting some of them on the one
story balcony on the east side and
the two story balcony on the north
side of the building, these floors
were reached and all those at the
windows were rescued.

every member should be given ON
Easter morning, a package contain
ing a pound of coffee, a pound of
tea, five pounds of beef, four pounds
of sugar and fifteen yards Of calico.
OF course this was all paid for by
the rich members, but as they filed
out of the church, every member,
rich and poor, took the package he
or she was entitled to. The poor
members were not put out of coun-
tenance, and the rich ones sent their
packages afterward to the poor that
they preferred. 1t was very neat

DynamIte I'm a oask Of wine.


A good deal of excitement was
caused in New York City at the ap-
praiser's store, on the 10th, by the
discovery in a cask of wine of a
large tin box filled with dynamite
cartridges, which were attached to
wires and surrounded with gutta
percha fuses. The cask was one of
a cargo from the steamer Frisa,
which were brought with a number
of others to the appraisers store. 1t
was invoieed thirty litres of wine,
and is supposed to be from Ham
burg. 1t was addressed to a person
IN Huntingdon, Ill. 1t is thought
to be foolhardy attempt of some
person to ship dynamite to that port,
the party knowing that if the pro-
Prletors OF the vessel were aware of
tne compound they would not re-
ceive 1t. Had the cask fallen when
beng hoisted out of the hold or on
the deck another Bremerbaven dis
aster might have occurred. Had an
explosion occurred in the appraiser,s
store the consequences would have
been very disastrous, as fully 400
people are employed there and prom.
erty in the place valued at $500, 600.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
Hall in LOndOn-TWeed-Wh TIL
den is DOIng-An Epidemic Of Crime
-FashIOns-Easter.
oAKEY HALL.


Oakley Hall has been found, and
it is as l wrote last week; he is in
London, and the reason for his be-
ing there, is what | said, he was
complicated with the ring, though
he has so covered his tracks that he
has been living for some years in
tolerable security. The return of
Sweeny, and the consequent disclOs-
ure of the inside secrets of that gi-
gantic swindle could not but involve
him and put him in the category of
the worst of the lot. This, with So
eial complications, which, in plain
English means that he has been keep
ing women other than his wife and
has been living secretly an exceed
ingly disreputable life, while at
tempting to keep up the status of a
gentleman, all of which he knew
while the world was in ignorance of
it, but which the confessions of
Tweed would bring to the surface,
so weighed upon him that he prefer
red to get out, abandon everything,
and go into exile, rather than to face
the friends who had so long stood
by him, deceived by his assertions
of innocence. And so Oakley Hall,
mayor of New York, ruler of the
Democracy of this city, and the head
and front of the respectable portion
of the clique that has plundered
New York so long, is in London in
disguise, and the mere sport of
cheap actress who will hang to him
as long as he has any portion of the
money he stole and will desert him
the moment it is gone. Oakley Hall
passes into history as an excellent
sample of man who has opportuni-
ties, but who preferred present pleas
ure to permanent success. With
ability sufficient to command any
place and any position. He permit
ted wine, women and the attendant
pleasures of the moment to lead him
into eKcesses, which has ended as it
always has and always will. I can
not commend to the youth who read |
the TELEGRAPH a more instructive
example. Honesty and decency in
the long run always pay better than
the summer pleasures that follow
career like Oakley Halls. Such
is always followed by long
and very dreary winter. Oakley
Hall will, in a year from now, be-
borrowing a dollar or two from
chance Americans in London to pay
FOR the miserable bed he will be
sleeping in. And such men always
end exactly in that way.

da; he went hither aud yon, fugi-
tive and Wanderer up and down the
earth, till, sick and tired, he wanted
nothing so much as to be allowed to
quit his wanderings and settle down
to a quiet life, out of Jail. He has
been hunted up and down the earth,
branded as a criminal, till, weary
and faint, he wanted peace. And
so he permitted himself to be taken,
and came home, made his statement
and accepted terms. He turns over
to the city all that is left of the
money he and his coadjutors stole,
and will be permitted to 60 out and
live unmolested. The great king is
now a poor old man, with no money
to speak of and no power, past that
he dares not look back upon and no
future at all. There are thousand
draymen in the city who are better
off than he, and who could not af-
ford to change places with him.
WHAT TILDEN IS DOING.
Whatever may be the upshot of
it, there is no doubt but that the
arch conspirator, Tilden, wishes very
much to make another effort for the
Presidency. He never intended
that the verdict of the joint commits
sion should be final, if it was adverse
to him, and had the administration
of Hayes been less popular he would
have commenced proceedings long
ago in the supreme court. 1t is Ger
tain that he has gone so far as TO
have skilled attorneys draw up the
papers necessary to contest the cleo
ton, and proceedings will be com
menced if the temper of the public
should change, and become adverse
to the present administration. Til
den staked his all upon the Presiden-
cy, and he has by no means relin-
quished his hopes. Beaten at the
polls, beaten by a joint commission
of his own making, he still thinks he
sees a way, through the courts, to
gain the ambition of his life; and he
will make the effort if he gets the
slightest show. If President Hayes
policy makes the slightest feeling,
if any party is formed against him,
Mr.. Tilden proposes to move on him
through the courts, and try what
legal chicanery can do to make him
President. The papers were all pre-
pared some weeks ago, at Tilden's
house in Gramercy Park, and are
now in Washington, to be used if
occasion offers. Morrissey is in it,
but fortunately, if it goes into the
courts, the case will be beyond the
reach of money or the peculiar infu-
ences which Mr.. Morrissey knows
best how to WELD.

The Philadelphia Ledger sums up
the Congressional situation: "The
Democrats have majority of five
in the House, and at the organiza-
ton may have more, according to
what may yet be decided in certain
disputed cases in which no procla-
nation has been issued. Speaker
Randall, it is conceded, has the best
chance of securing the Democratic
caucus nomination, but there are al
so several other members, contend
ing for it-notably Messrs. Cox,
Sayler and Morrison. General Gar
field will probably be the Republ-
can caucus nominee, though General
Banks and some others are aspirants.
The Republicans are weakened by
some vacancies which may or may
not be filed prior to the semblage
OF the House. Thus, MIR. McCrary,
of Iowa, went into the Cabinet, and
Mr.. Hoar, Of Massachusetts, into
the Senate, the successor to neither
having yet been chosen. In the Sen
ate, where there are three vacancies,
the political complexion is SO Re
publicans, 80 Democrats, and two
Independents-Davis of Illinois, and
Booth, Of California. Neither party
has a majority in either House suf-
fcient to force the passage of any
violently partisan measure which
is very good thing for the coun-
try at large
