The sign. Of improvement in the
business world are significant and
highly encouraging. The people
have paid dearly for the experience
they have had during the past three
years, and although that experience
has been bitter ore in the suffering
and disaster that it entailedr yet it is
not withou. benaGcient results that
must rebound to our ultimate pros
perity and advantage. We have sui
fered LEGS as a nation than indiyidu-
ais, and this fact demonstrates that
in the end our suffering must change
to prosperity. 1t Is useless to re-
count the causes that led to the bust
ness stagnation that has been fruit
ful Of so much disaster. The inlla-
ton Of prices that followed long in
the wake Of our civil war, the fcti-
cious values. that like will o the
wisp deluded even the best business
minds with false hopes anduncortain
promises, combined to place business
on a false basis and render trade I'M

came and the business community
was illy.prepared to meet it. The

has tended to develop our NATIONAL
characteristics to an unexpected and

There are unmislakablc signs that
we haze touched bottom and that q
healthy and vigorous reaction is set
ting in. Among the most signifi-
cant indications of a sound reaction
is the decline in rents that is chron-
icled in every quarter. Landlords
have become convinced from the
prospects Of empty buildings that
stared them in the face that "war

4 Sea Captain Outwitted.

The New Bedford (Mass.) Mercury
says: Some months since one of our
New Bedford captains, who of late
has sailed from New York, was standing
on wharf in that city watching the pre-
parations for sailing being made aboard
his craft, which was to weigh anchor in
half an hour, when he was hurriedly APP
preached by Il man who, with an air of
trepidation, as if pursued, begged the
favor of private word. Upon the cap
tain asserting the new arrival produced
Il gold watch in chamois skin case, with
out chain, and began to argue the tarry
mariner to invest in it, stating that as he
was very anxious to get it off of his hands
he would sell it for $50 which he claimed
to be one-third of its real worth. The
captain turned deaf ear to his induce
ments, believing the timekeeper to have
been stolen, and the fellow was turning
sorrowfully away, when for once our
friends innate greed for a bargain got
the best of his ideas Of right and wrong.
and calling after the retreating sharper,
he offered him IS for the watch. In the
twinkling of an eye transformation took
place-the chamois skin bag with its
valuable contents being deposited next
to the captains heart, and a crisp green
back finding its way into the hands of
the mysterious man, who rapidly disap-
peared. Meanwhile the captain, fearing
lest through some legal claim he might
be made to return his purchase, lost no
time in going aboard and hauling out in.
t. the stream. When well out of the
harbor he drew a long breath and went
below to examine the beauties of his
new acquisition i'll the pr vacy of the
cabin. With eager eyes he drew forth
the chamois bag, united the cord that
closed its mouth and drew forth-not the
watch, but a small flat turnip, in which
was inserted a small stick ingeniously
carved to represent the stem of watcl
rs felt through the skin covering.
