Jennie June in the Baltimore american:
ave have heard great deal lately OF
the hardships Of workingmen, and every
one knows that they are very real and
tangible, bat they are not always exactly
what their Relt.elected champions would
have us believe. In the first place the
working man at 81, % per day Is always
spoken Of as having large family 10
Support" Now, the probability is that
at least half the men who are employed
at that rate are unmarried, and Of those
who are married and have family few
make even the pretense Of supporting it,
but leave that duty to their wives, who
manage il upon a dollar a day, oitentimes
gained by washing or equally arduous
work, with the drawback Of not only hav-
ing to support the family but care for
them, wash for them, and sew for them

THE petroleum trade Of the country
has attained to enormous proportions,
and there is scarcely u civilized spot on
the face Of the habitable globe to which
this cheapest OF all illuminators is not
now shipped. There are now under en-.
gagement at New York, philadelphia
and Baltimore fully two hundred vessels
to load with petroleum ior different parts
of the world. Its estimated that TWEEN.
ty thousand oil wells have thus far been
dug lin Pennsylvania and West Virgi.
MIA, at an aggregate cost OF one hundred
and ninety two million dollars. They
have yielded about eighty eight million
barrels OF oil, valued at the wells at three
hundred million dollars, or four hundred
million dollars at the seaboard.

SOME twenty five years ago thirteen
men, six Of Massachusetts and seven Of
New York, entered into an agreement
that, as each died, the survivors should
attend his funeral, and that the departed
should appear TO the others after death,

in Springfield, Mass, the other in AL.

sixty one years old, and says he has slept
alone three or four nights following the
death Of each of the others, in the vain
hope Of hearing from them.

People sometimes ask why does DR.. r. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, spend so much money
in advertising his family medicines which are
so well known and surpass all other remedies in
popularity and sale. Ii is well known that A.
7. Stewart considered it good policy, and I'M
doubleday it paid him. to spend many hundred
thousand dollars i'll advertising his goods, yet
nobody questioned the excellence of his mer-
chandise. The grand secret of success lies in
Offering only goods which possess merit TO sns-
tain themselves, and then through liberal and
persistent advertising making the people thor
oughly acquainted with their good qualities
Men do not succeed in amassing great fortunes,

and founding substantial institutions like DIR.

eases. He says, 'if yOur lungs are half wasted

You, vet as remedy for severe coughs. and all

people have confidence i'll his medicines because

ADvIcEs from the East are very en-
couraging as to tne future of business.
Cotton cloths are coming up in price,
and the faces of manufacturers begin to
shorten as the days begin to lengthen.
Providence sold 252, 900 pieces of print
ing cloths, last week, the prices closing
at 81 to 81, against cents few months
ago. Fall River has sold its work two
months ahead, and there is other evil
dence that, with the aid of foreign ex-
portations, the surplus stock has all
been used up, and the demand must
now exceed the supply. Stock in the
Manchester mills has recently risen over
10 per cent, and new mills are already
in process of erection ut Lonsdale, II. l.,
and other places. Some mills which
have been running ON part time have
started mp in full, and the general feel
ing seems TO be one of confidence.
The imports of this country fell be-
tween 1872 and 1876 from 1904, 400, 900
to $426, 600, 900. This is at the rate of
30I per cent. The following figures
show that our purchases of the cotton,
wooden and worsted manufactures of
England declined much more:

Popularity.

The popularity Of Messrs James &. Kirk h
Co.'S soaps. manufactured in Chicago, is
shown by the unprecedented sale which their
goods have reached during the year 1876. This
by far il the largest soap manufacturing con-
Germ in the United States, producing and selling
in all parts Of this country, from the Red River
o: the North TO New Orleans, and from Port
land, Me-, 10 San Francisco, %, 900, 900 pounds
annually. No so-called greases enter into these
soaps. Only pure refined tallow and vegetable
oils are used, containing no adulteration. Fair
and square weights always reliable This is
why their soaps are so popular with all good and
economical housekeepers.

lgland declined much more:

Inc decsease In our imports OF British
cottons between 1871 to 1876 was 57I
per cent; of woolens, III per cent and
of worsted goods, 52s per cent. A COM
parison of values would show decrease
still more severe. The President of the
Manchester Chamber of Commerce said
at its annual meeting last week that
:" the exports of Manchester goods to the
United States, which formerly afforded
an excellent market, were now nil. and
that there is considerable trade in Man
chester in cotton fabrics manufactured in
America"
