The Fall Trade.

The New York Evening Post says:
The newspapers published at the lead
ing business centers of the country
speak favorably of the prospects of the
autumn trade. Within week trade has
taken a fresh start This is, to some
extent, the natural rebound from the
compulsory deadlock consequent upon
the interruption of transportation by the
strike on the railroads; but at the same
time there is satisfactory evidence of the
beginning of the regular early autumn
trade, with accompanying indi-
cations that the trade will be large and
healthy one all through the country. It
is too early in the season yet to expect
special activity in the merchandise
markets here; still goods are going for
ward to distributing points in the in
terror in no inconsiderable quantities,
and before the end of the month there is
every reason for expecting that all the
leading branches of trade will be actively
The existing conditions all
point in that direction. The stock Of
goods here is not large; the interior
country as rule is what may be called
bare of goods; and the large crops will
furnish the means wherewith to pay for
what may be needed in the way of goods
Or commodities.
Bradford opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1874-1881, 1877-08-25

A persistent talker is not good con-
versationalist. The very word conversa-
tion defines its meaning; it is an inter-
change. The man who insists in talking
at you is bore. The English definition
of bore betrays the great national
weakness in this regard: "a bore is one
who insists on talking to you about him
self, when you want to be talking to him
about yourself" Neither is the confirm
ed gossip good conversationalist, for
conversation suggests discourse about
things rather than people. Here is an
other bane of social interchanges. They
are too often on the lower level of that
talk which finds its subject matter in per-
sons. That is gossip. People who do
not read or think must largely make peo-
pie and neighborhood events the staple
of their talk. but the bad habit obtains
even among those who by culture have
been fitted to make better use of their
tongues. Gossip does not always indi-
cate ignorance. 1t is to be feared it has
become fashion into which even intel
ligent people are drawn. But this kind
of talk is neither edifying nor wise. If
there were no worse results, it narrows
the mind to shut up its views to neigh
borhood details. There is no excuse for
itnow. The worlds gates all stand open.
The papers bring all lands, all govern
ments, all rising ideas, to our very doors.
Books lead lis into the liberty of the
world, and the best of its doings and
thinking. A growing vice in converse.
tion is fondness for smartness. Tart
ness, repartee, and satire are very good
for an occasional reasoning; but, like
horse-radish and mustard, they make
very poor dinner. People with this pro-
pensity of saying grinding things have q
terrible power; you go away from them
with feeling that the world is stuffed
with sawdust-that you yourself are an
and impostor. Itmay take days
for You to recover your proper standing
with yourself. Then, if you ask your
soul what fatal gift has the tormentor,
which carries with it this fatal power of
making its fellow mortals miserable, you
discover that it is the gift of selfshness.
The person to whom you have been talk
ing is ungenerous. A generous man or
! generous woman-you cannot come
hear such an one without receiving some.
hing that makes amends for your own
disappointment with, your opinion of,
Yourself. An ungenerous person adds
he weight of another to your side of the
Gales, and down you go.
Bradford opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1874-1881, 1877-08-25
Wages of Restaurant Walters.

A New York correspondent writes: The
pay OF q waiter in first-class restaurant
in New York city, like Delmonico's, the
Brunswick, the Hoffman or the st. James,
range from 800 to $35 per month, with
board and gratuities, which usually
amount to more than the salary. At
Delmonico's Beaver street place there
are eighteen walters, whose wages range
from 1922 to $25; at the Broad street
branch there are fifteen at the same sala-
ries; at the Broadway house there are
fourteen at Sc laries averaging $25, and at
the Madison square restaurant there are
forty men who get from 1875 to $35 per
month. The head walters get 800 and
$3.50 per month and board, all of them
finding their own clothing. At the
Brunswick there are seventy-ive walters
at salaries ranging from $25 to $35 per
month, and they usually make 81 or ST.. so
day in gratuities from the customers.
The head walters are paid the same as at
Delmonico's. At the Hoffman and other
first-class houses the same rates are paid
and the same class of men are engaged.

A Wife Beater Ducked.

The Wheeling (W. Va.) papers give
an account of how they treat wife heaters
down the Ohio river. At New Martins
vile lives man named Huber, who had
been in the habit of whipping his wife
when he happened either to have in too
much applejack or when she did any
thing to displease him. One of these
unfortunate conditions existed the other
night and he walloped her soundly.
The neighbors heard the cries. They
seized Huber, and, notwithstanding the
entreaties of the sore-beaten wife, hur-
ried him off to the river. There COM
mittee had the exquisite pleasure of
giving him ducking. He bawled
loudly for mercy every time his head
came out of the water, and protested to
high Heaven that he would never NAL
treat his wife again. These promises
we're echoed by successive duckings until
the fellow was nearly drowned,
Bradford opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1874-1881, 1877-08-25
Fashion Notes.

"Sorrel-green is the newest tint seen
in many imported dresses.
Tinted or delicate shades of organdie
are worn over silk of a deep color.
Arrows of dark blue enamel half
inch long, the feather end being jewell
studied, are the latest design for ear
rings.
Black silk bonnets are imported to
take the place of felt ones for fall.
Shade hats of braided corn-shucks are
brought from Florida, and worn at coun-
try resorts.
Parasols are made to match each suit,
percale and batisle dresses having their
own parasols as well as the popular
bunting.
Many of the fall costumes are made
with square necks, to be worn over
chemisettes, which are again coming
into favor.
A single loop of colored ribbon sewed
on white muslin dress-skirts is passed
over the hand of the wearer to hold up
the train.
Ladies' dress is taking on masculine
styles again. Linen shirts with gold
studs, and Marseilles vests form part of
the newest summer toilets.
A toilette for little girl, age seven to
eight years, has the robe Princess Royal
composed of rose pink toile batiste, gar
nished with lines of narrow galoon, the
design over a much deeper shade, and at
the bottom plated narrow founce. At
the side pocket, garnished with bow
of faille. Sleeves trimmed to match the
skirt. Hat of white straw trimmed with
white muslin, and garnished with rose
faille and feathers.
A walking or seaside toilette is COM
posed of marine blue percale. The skirt
trained, and trimmed with three lounces
at the back. The Duchesse tablier,
with white guipure lace. Cor
sage Marie, open in front, and garnished
with Medicis collar, edged with lace.
A bow in front, as well as on the open

The Wheat Blossom.


Oh give not way to selfish thoughts
When others are In pain,
Nor e'or rejoice At their mishaps
Because they bring You gain;
But rather kindly comfort give,
A friendly hand extend
Think, should misfortune thee ovcrtake,
How priced would be friend.
A surgeon and carpenter
Together walked ono night,
Tho moon was full, and on the scene
Diffused her mellow light;
The road was long, and sore fatigue
Their limbs began to tire,
When, in the distance, they perceived
A hamlet was on fire.
Tho carpenter then rubbed his hands,
Exclaiming with delight;
"Look at yon blaze there grove my wheat
II blossoms In my sight !"
For, while the raging flames arose,
He thought but Of his trade,
And for each burning house he knew
Another must be made.
While gazing ho did not perceive
A ditch as passing by,
But, heedloss walking, quickly fell,
And instant broke his thigh;
The surgeon drew him from the ditch,
Began his wound to wipe,
And to the fainting man he said,
"My wheat's already ripe"
