SCARCITY OF MONEY.

There is doubt but the present condition of all
kinds of business and industry is iearfuy depressed
and it behooves every family to look carefully to
their expenses. Winter is coming on when children
are liable to Group, Whooping Cough, etc. Coughs
and Colds will prevail everywhere, and Consumption
with other throat and lung diseases, will carry off
many.-These diseases should not be neglected.
Doctors bills are expensive, and we would advise
our people to use BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP, 1t

THE TRoTTING YEsTERDAY.-Like the day
before the trotting course at Back Bay was
crowded with teams yesterday afternoon.
There were many good horses on the track and
good many which could not make mile in
less than five or six minutes if put to their best
speed This fact however, did not prevent
their owners from driving them pell NELL up
and down the track the entire afternoon.
Nearly the same field of trotters were present
as on the previous day. Mr.. Noyes drove his
mare Lady Sherman and she made her usual
good time. Mr.. J. FL. Sawyer speeded King
William few times just for sport Both Mr..
Rand and Mr.. Hezelton were present, but
neither of them trotted their horses. There
were number of double sleighs on the course
filed with families who watched the sport
throughout the entire afternoon. Owing to
reckless driving there was an accident which
upset three sleighs, but did little damage 1t
is a wonder there are not more coils ions to
record.

THE GREAT LEADING LIFE COM.
PANY OF THE WORLD.
No Such Thing AS Fail!

In these times when the classroom Life
Companys are going to the Wall and are COM
PEELED to wind up, it will afford the public
great satisfaction to know that the old Mutual
Life Company, of New York." is beyond any
question as sound and reliable as the Bank of
England. In consequence of the failure of the
Continental, Security and other Life Compsnys
which created a distrust in the public mind,
the Trustees of the Mutual called upon the
Superintendent of Insurance at Albany to
make thorough examination of its affairs in
order to satisfy its Policy holders and the pub
lie, that everything with them was sound to
the core. This has been done and the Annual
Statement contained in our columns this morn
ing speaks for itself.
1t will be seen that its assets are now more
than $S2, 00O, 000, "a gain of over $300O,000 the
past year, its receipts being over 10000, 600,
having paid for death claims and endowments
nearly 81, 800, 900, with an excess of interest,
receipts, orer losses and Endowments, paid in
1876 $685. 000 Its ratio of expenses upon inc me
being less than per cent for the year. The
figures are truly immense, showing the remark
able progress and success of this great Com
pany during the past 80 years, in 1S4S its assets
were only $550,000. The officers and trustees
are from among the most reliable and wealthy
business men and bankers in this country, lot
spectators or money borrowers such men as
VIM. E. Dodge, Alexander 81. Rice, Luclus
Robinson, Samuel E. Babcock, VIM. M. Yer
mye, Geo. S. Coe, John V. L. Pruyn and
others. Its policies are as good as any govern
ment bond in the world. Those who need Life
Insurance, and especially young men, should
look into the Office of Mr.. Little, who has been
its agent for 80 years, where they may be posted
up on the subject of Dividends and other adj
vantages of insuring with this great financial
institution.

Poor Abdul lIamidl He is spending his
days and night S in bacchanalian reveries, and
iskilling himself with debauchery. Under
decent government and respectable rulers
the Ottoman Empire north Of the Golden
Horn, might bloom as the rose and become
the garden spot of Europe. But as 1t is
now the whole country is laboring in the
throes of distracting discord, and is virtual.
ly under the heels of corrupt and cruel
Pashas, who perpetuate the most unbridled
atrocities in the vilayets and sandjaks, pro.

ries and merciless rule. 1t Is not in the fierce
nature of the turbaned Turks to administer
the affairs Of civilized Government with
justice, equity and humanity, and but for
England's course in solving the Eastern
question they would have long since been
driven across the Bosphorus and their
reign in Europe forever destroyed. As II
stands to-day. the Turkish Government Ia
bankrupt, and in this condition she find.
upon her hands an innumerable host oi

disbanded or die OF sheer starvation. The

Communism In Russia.

Under . monaTchical government OF the most
absolute nature, It does not seem possible that
the spirit of communism m would ever be able
to fasten itself firmly enough upon the peo-
pie to make it's evil influence threatening
power In the empire. But such is the case in
Russia. There is a large and rapidly increas-
ing element 10 that country which seized upon
the idea OF holding the land In common and
living, as far as property is concerned, In COM
mon. Already the Gar has become appre-
hensive of this menacing social power, and
the Government is eKerting every means pos
sible to thwart the evil designs OF the COM
munist consprators. Moscow seems to be
the headquarters of the leaders, and a vigilant
watch is being kept upon their movements, ,seye-
raj arrests having already been made In that city
and other parts of the empire. 1t is bel
ny thinking men that Russia Is anxious to
cross swords with the Ottoman Porte In order
to arrest, If possible, the communistie tenieu-
cies Of this element. This might for time
work out the desired result, but II the com
munistic idea Is as deep,seated as we have
every reason to believe 1t is IL would soon croE
out again and spread with renewed energy
There seems to be- but one way to arrest these
tendencies, and that is embodied 10 the exten'
sion Of personal aud municipal liberty an
the building up of large middle class through

The Republicans of New Hampshire

themselves to the great duty which now
devolves upon them. But q few days more

vsss, ard ss events are working for them
they will win If they but remain earnest
ard jealous in the cause which they
espouse. The decision Of the judicial
tribunal has brought Generalization to the
Democracy in the Granite State, and the in.
auguration of President HAYES has bound
together all the elements in the Republican
party, leaving the ranks uubroken and
prepared for the coming contest. This
is indeed the Republican party's hour OF
strength. Its honor Is unsullied, its iu-
dorsementb by the people unquestioned, and
by a bold, vigorous and yet liberal policy
It's future is assured. The New Hamp.

MAKING STATES,

The Cabinet speculations were high yes
terday. The question which struck the
ear in the hotels, on the streets and every
where men did most congregate. was
"What Is the slater" Aud everybody had
one, of course, and each one Of these
widely differed from the other. except as
they regarded two men. These men were
WILLIAM NJ. EvARTs aud JOHN SHERMAN,
and every slate that was presented yester-
day by the Cabinet spectators included
these distinguished names. Aside from
these, the speculations were vague and
confusing. 1t is believed generally that
two Southern men will be selected by Pres.
ident HAYES TO make up his Cabinet family.
and rumor had it that JOSHUA HILL, o:
Georgia, and Gen. JOSEPH JOHNSTON were
likely to be chosen. Later in the evening,
however, the name of JOHNSTON gave way
to that of KEY of Tennessee, who, it was re.
ported on good authority, had been offered
the portfolio of the Post Office De,
partment, but had declined to accept
it until he had more fully con-
sidered the line of policy which the
Administration proposes to follow, and to
which he must agree before he accepts the
position. The Interior Department in the
early morning of yesterday seemed to have
been placed in the charge Of CARL SCHURz,
but before the evening shadows began to
fall upon the city the name Of ScHURz
gradually gave way to that of McCoR
MICK, who has the united support o.
every State west of the Mississippi.
