CALLING HIM PRESIDENT.

Many Democratic papers decline to
re ognize the official position of Mr..
HAYES by giving him the title of "Presi-
dent" since he is not honestly entitled
to the name. But our neighbOr Of the
Woodsfield Spirit differs with them. He
says Mr.. HAYES is President, whether
we recognize him as such or not, and to
refuse him the title seems like a very
poor revenge. II is too much like
"making mouths at his sister, To say,
Ills Excelloncy, President Hay IS, OBJ
tanned his Office by fraud" is not only
quite truthful, but quite graceful.

The course of general trade for the
past ten days presents two features of in
t,rest. The first is the temporary ces-
sation of activity at the leading points in
the East, and the other is the general
feeling of activity and cheerful outlook
in the jobbing trade of the West and
Southwest. Both of these influences
seem to affect our city's business, as
business here Is temporarily stagnant,
while the sanguine expectations of the
future which the outlook of affairs in the
West inspires, is noticeable in nearly all
branches. Whatever croaking is heard
at present comes from tho seaboard mar
kets. II we turn to the West and
Southwest, however, we are confronted
with moro encouraging state Of things.
For instance at Nashville, Tenn, We
read in the american of the 18th: "Slgns
of increasing business activity are to
be met with on every hand, and jobbers
are generally sanguine of remunera-
tive spring trade. Collections were
never better, and there are other salts.

Of bad debts will be smaller than for

ious weather during the past
week." says the Republican, "trade has
hourished, and in the great lines Of in
dustries expansion is visible. The
tloroughfares are crowded with goods of
every DESCRIPTION and pushing pedes,
TRANS to the curb" At Chicago the
situation is described by tho TRIBUNE of
Friday as one of moderate and health
full activity" The banks report an in
creased demand for loans. The lumber
men are borrowing, and there is
larger offering of CONNER
cisl paper from mercantile parties
who are discountlng their Eastern in
debtedness. Throughout Minnesota the
farmers are said to be in a good position
TO buy, and at tho chief trade centres OF
the State, st. Paul and Minneapolis, the
prospect is encouraging. The st. Paul
Pioneer of Thursday says: "1n the
wholesale trade increased activity is re-
ported in nearly all lines, with sstisfac-
tory collections as the rule" At
Milwaukee, the Wisconsin, speaks of
a marked improvement in the vol
ume of dealings as compared with the |
close of last month. Reports from Bslti-
more New York, Boston and Phlladel-
mia are of slow demand and quiet
business; but this can be explained partly
BY the backward spring, and partly by
the fact that while the first rush of tho
wholesale spring trade is over, the job
hing trade has not opened yet. On the
Pacific coast things are rather slow.

SUCH accidents are not infrequent, and
though rs agonizirg as anything one can
conceive. no effort is made to prevent
the possibility of this occurrence. At Sc
dalla, Missouri, last week, brakeman in

unable to extricate it, he fell under an
approaching train and was horribly
mangled. 1t does seem that ordinary
ingenuity might contrive some means
by which such horrible occurrences
might be rendered impossible.

Pneumatic Clocks.

One of the latest and most novel ap-
plications of compressed air is to the
regulation of clocks at distance, which
has just been introduced into Vienna.
We now get our water and our gas
through pipes laid in the streets, and it
has been disposed to distribute heat in
similar way; but it is a novel idea to
turn on" the time for our clocks by
kindred mechanism. The following is
description of the Vienna system,
from an English journal: Tubes are
laid in the streets from the central
station, in which is the ''master clock"
or rather two clocks working together;
and should one get wrong the other
keeps in motion, and an alarm-bell is
rung to indicate to the attendant that
something is wrong, and he at once rec
titles it. The air is pumped from the
the station, and just as gas or water
can be taken into houses, by means of
pipes, so can the pneumatic tubes be laid,
and people can receive their time just
as they get their water or gas, the tubes
being always kept fully charged with
air

Activity in the Wool Trade.

There has been an unprecedented re-
vival in the wool trade within the last
few weeks, and the amount of business
done reminds the largest dealers of the
liveliest days of the war. The fact that
the sales in Boston last week amounted
to a, l09, 600 pounds, the largest weeks
business ever known to the trade in that
city, and million pounds more than
the transactions for the corresponding
week last year, is sufficient to show the
activity of the trade in this commodity.
The indications are that the wool-con-
suming centres will be the scene of un-
usual life within the next six months.
The manufacturers have been running
on the smallest possible amount of
stock for months past, but are now
forced by the revival of the trade to buy
largely, for fear that prices will be even
higher two or three months hence than
they are at the present. The tendency
in prices is constantly upward. The
wool growers in this part of the state
have nearly all sold the cut of the
present season realizing perhaps on an
average little less than forty cents
pound, or nearly ten cents more than
year ago. The rise in the price of wool
has had the effect of exciting activity
in woolen goods also, but this has been
more marked in the increase of business
and the more confident feeling among
the merchants than increasing the price
of goods. The effect of the whole
movement will be to greatly improve
business at the large number of woolen
factories in New England. In truth,
these facts indicate a brighter prospect
for business, and better times even are
predicted. Norwich Bulletin.

NOT DEAD, BUT SLEEPING.
A Horrid, Ugly Snake. You Know, and
What q Woman Did About Ii.

The San Jose Herald gives the follow
ing: In this city resides lady noted
among her friends for her timidity and
nervousness, together with an extreme
aversion to snakes, toads, and other rep
tiles. The sight of a lizard was almost
enough to make her tremble, and close
proximity to a snake was accompanied
by sort of Mysteries. A few evenings
ago, while walking in the grass plot near
the house, she felt something suddenly
strike her underpinning between the
ankle and knee; instinct told her that a
''snake had at last fastened to her,"
and, giving one loud screech, she bolted
for the house. At the first few jumps
the thing felt wrathy, and she could
feel it insert its fangs, almost to the
bone. Before reaching the door she
had unwound themselves, and she
life to get to the cupboard. Her facul-
ties were at work instantly to think up
an antidote for the poison, and in look
ing at her pedestals, she could see the
bright red spots where she aswounded.
There was no one in the house, and she,
remembering that she had heard brandy
mentioned as being of service, took
down the bottle used for making mince
pies, and turning the neck into her
mouth drained the bottle, and Offering
prayer for the speedy return of her
husband, threw herself ON the bed, and
scrawling on visiting card POISONED
by a snake" went to sleep. How long
she remained this way is not known.
Her husband arriving saw her, tried to
awaken her, and then noticing the in
scription on the card, ran out and
down to town for doctor. Arriving,
the physician found that she was still
alive, and turning her over to get some
medicine into her gullet, got his
proboscis in line with her breath, and
shifted the whisky. Without saying
much to the frightened husband, he
administered the potions used to sober
people, and in less than an hour the
woman who had been to drunk to move,
was sufficiently recovered to relate what
had happened. A search for the snake
ended in the discovery of few wires
belonging to hoop skirt that she had
stepped upon, and in her endeavor to
free herself the wire had pierced her
skin. Imagination and the liquor did
the rest.
