just where the train had started from,

thought he has gone to look up evil

A Good Time for Caution

Last weeks bank statement shows a
falling off of l,167, 300 in the legal
tender average, which has evidently be-
gun to decline quite as rapidly as is
usual at this season. In loans there is
a sharp decrease of $4,390,60O, and we
should be glad to believe that impOr-
tant banks had determined to be more
cautious in their ventures upon the
shifting sands of Wall-st. Reason for
caution is abundant. We had a severe
pressure and narrowly escaped general
disaster in 1872, when the legal tender
average was even less at this season
than it is now. A complete collapse
came in 1873, though the reserve was
but little greater than it is now. Last
year, with a very low average at this
season, though larger than the banks
now show, they escaped difficulty, be-
cause there was neither very large
currency movement on account of the
crops, nor was there any immense spec
ulation which had caused extraordina-
ry investments by the banks on demand
loans. We all know what the course
of events has been of late. The specu-
lators tried to make rise in stocks in
July they found the banks anxious to
lend, and borrowed freely; the great
strike caught them, and compelled them
to borrow more and risk more in order
to save themselves; the banks have had
to carry the load, and their burdens are
now much greater than it is usual for
them to bear at this season. Doubtless
they will pull through. Nevertheless,
the prevailing impression with shrewd
and experienced men is that this is a
remarkably good time for caution.-N

says: "When there is talk of a strike
it comes first from those who have lit
tie to Iose-the floating workers, who
haven't laid up cent, and who have
no one dependent upon them. There
wasn't one man in twenty in this late

We have another sudden death in our
midst to record this week. Last Tues
day, at one P. NJ, Elsie, wife of HI. B.
Weeks, died after an illness of but "a
hours. She had complained somewhat
for two or three days previous, of not
feeling well, but she kept around as
usual, and no serious results were ap-
pretended by her friends. On Monday
afternoon she went to ride, but went
only short distance before Mr.. Weeks
noticed that she appeared strange, and
Immediately returned home. She be-
came unconscious and remained so,
until she died. Everything that medi-
cal aid could advise was brought to the
rescue, but all ofno avail. The doctors
say it was apOplexy. She was about
u years of age; and daughter of j. N.
Ashley, of New York city. Her mother
had arrived but few days previous,
from New York, on visit and was with
her. Mrs. Weeks was an estimable
woman and leaves a large circle of
friends to mourn her sudden and I'M
expected death.
