American Commerce.

The report of the bureau Of statistics
for the ten months ended April 30, is an
encouraging one. A comparison for the
whole time with the corresponding
period of 1876 does not exhibit any inn
provement, but this can be plainly dis
cerned II the imports for the month of
April. The total value was $42, ,O70, ,424,
against S36, ,156, ,526 for the same month
last year. When viewed for the ten
months, the decline is seen to have con-
tinued for most Of the time; the figures
are 1851, ,502, ,545 of merchandise imports
in 1877, against 1888, ,O69, ,848. The
domestic exports for April, 1877, were
SAT, ,780, ,775, or more than 500, ,0OO, 900
better than those of April, 1876, $46,-
704,66S For the ten months the
domestic exports were valued (gold
values) at $5O3, ,733, ,668, against $439,- :
9l5, ,269 for the corresponding months of
the fiscal year 1876-an increase of 500,
8lS,OS4. The heaviest increase in i'm
ports was in sugar, of which SI2, 90, 900
more In value was imported; the imports
OF teas ard cohees fell off $Il 900, 900.
TheeXpOrts of corn increased SO, ,000, 900,
while those Of cotton fell away SCI ,0O0,-
600. There was great enhancement in
the value of petroleum exports, which
rose from $24, 300, 900 to $46, 900, 900.
Bacon and ham exports increased $lO,-
100000; lard, S5,0OO,OOO; and Leaf
tobacco, $4,000, 900.

! of price permitted to the remount officers
| is 133 rOubles for horses destined for the
cavalry of the line; for the liberal impe-
rial guards the limit rose to 900 rOu-
bles. At the age of four the young
horses, which have previously been
handled but not broken in, are drafted
into the reserve squadron, where they
remain for a year, during which time
they are broken in; and at the age of
five join the regiment and service. A
horse is supposed to last seven years from
the date of his joining the regiment, SO
that the remOunt officer has to furnish
young horses nearly to the amount of
One-seventh of the total service strength.
The reserve squadron in peace time is
about one hundred strong, but in war
time it is increased to twice or thrice
this strength to meet drafts made upon
1t to supply vacancies of men and horses
in the field squadron. Cavalry recruits
who come from all parts of Russia, but
are chiefly drawn from little Russia, the
people of whiSh are extremely good
hOTse-masteTs and fond of riding, are sent
direct to their respective regiments, and
are considered ft to be dismissed from
recruit drill in three months. Formerly |
the period of training was nine months, /
but now they work harder, it seems, and /
are sent to duty sooner. l think a man I
is ikelier to be a good duty-soldier at
the end of nine months fair training
than at the end of three months forcing
but then it appears tuition is sedulously
kept up after the dragOOn is sent into the
ranks, and the accelerated training is of
course a desideratum in war, or when it
is desired quickly to increase the strength
Of the army. The cavalry soldiers term
Of active service is nominally ten years,
with five years in the reserve; but in
practice he is sent home after having
served four or FIVE years, with liability to
be called from this long furlough at a
lays notice. NOn-cemmissioned officers
nay go down or remain with the regi-
nent at their option; if they engage for
second term of service they receive
additional pay. Private soldiers are not
allowed to re-engage.

Joseph SeIigman.

Mr.. Joseph Seligman, the banker, is
the lion of the hour, even that of the
tribe of Judah. He is a man of great
wealth, great iberality entertains with
marked hospitality; is a man of distin-
guished business talent and of great
probity He is one of the syndicate,
director in many banks, vice-president Of
the union league, and in religion a radi-
cal, being a leading member of Prof
Adler's congregation. His history, as
told by those who know him well, is an
interesting one. He came from Germany
and landed on our docks all unknown
and penniless. His first job was 10 carry
a valise up the wharf. He Invested the
coin earned in some papers; out of the
profits of his papers he purchased small
stock of goods, which he carried around
in a try. He established a route, sold
articles at a fair price, and those who
traded with him once traded with him
again. The spirit of thrift, industry,
intregrity, which marked his earlier
tradings, has followed him through life.
He has acquired a great fortune, and is
one of the most hOnored men in New

99yTatnlng, 9ytiIl neT limbs IN hazes warm and dun,
AND suItry glory all the heaven o'erBIls.
| Not white dimrie stirs amid the corn,
Not low ripple shivers through the leaves
since, wrapped in gold and crimson CLEANS unshsrn
zane flashing through the east the regal morn
No throated twitterings gurgle round the caves.
Flooded in sunny silence sleep the kline;
In languid murmUrs breoklets Roat and fOH
/ he quaint farm gables in the rich light shine,
Aud round them iasmined hOneysuckles twine
And close beside them sunfOwers burn and blew
Amid the growing heat lie me down,
And into visions swarIns the NOTED air;
Gleams up before me many famous town,
Plllared and crested with regal crown
outshimmering in an orient purple glare.
Lol lowly Tadmore burning in its sands
Baalb:ek and Babylon; see slow streams
Gliding by mosque and minaret-see CLEANS
Ot seas IN sUnset-slips of strands,
And drowsy Bagdad buried deep in dreams;
See swarthy mOnarchs flushed in purple rings
OF stlken eOurtiers: through half-open doors
catch the spice OdOrs, and cool Of Springs
Loaving forever in a maze Of wings;
See light forms dancing over pearly floors;
Sleeping seraglio's sPire and tremuIous dome
WinkiDg in drowsy splender all the day.
See forest haUnts where thick the lions roam,
See thirsty panthers splashed in bloody foam,
Leap terrible as hghtnings on their prey.
Or stand with COrtez a mountain peak
Above the Aztec eity-see unroIled
Gem-threaded shores OF MOntezuma weak,
See the white temples swarming thick and sleek
And sunny streets stretched up by towers of gold;
See silken sails float by, ambrosial
Laden with spices, up a Persian glen
Or stand on Lebanon, mid cedars tall,
Or hear the soft and silver fall
OF water down a jut of Darien.
But 10 a waking shiYer in the trees,
And voices mid the hay-cocks in the glen;
The sun is setting; and the crimson seas
Are shaKen into splendor by the breeze,
And all the busy world is up again!

4 Bold Robbery.

The east bound passenger train, which
passed Cheyenne Wednesday afternoon,
was stopped and robbed by thirteen
masked men at Big Springs, Neb. The
robbers first took possession of Big
Springs, destroying the telegraph in
struments, and compelled the agent to
hang out red light. When the train
stopped they took possession, putting
the train men and passengers under
guard. The express ear was broken
open, and the safe robbed of about So
900. The passengers were also robbed,
but the amount is not ascertained. To
delay the train in reaching the next sta
ton and giving an alarm, the fire in the
locomotive was wet, The down freight
train overtaking the express, its engine
drew the train TO Ogallalla, from where
the report of the robbery was made
The robbers are believed to have gone
north. The railroad company offers q
reward of s., 900, and the superintend,
ent of the Union Pacific express, Sl0,-
900 reward for the capture Of the rob-
bers.

A New Moth Exterminator.

A curious accident occurred in Platts-
burgh, the other day, by which the
First Presbyterian church was damaged
to considerable extent. Ii appears
that the sexton had been sprinkling ben-
zine in the audience room from COM
mon house or garden sprinkler upon the
cushions and carpets, according to di-
rections given him, to kill the moths
with which the carpets and upholstery
were infested. He thinks that about
two-thirds of a barrel of benzine was
used in this manner. After finishing
his work up stairs, he went down into
the lecture room and made his prepare
tions 10 start fire in the furnace, lie
| ignited q match, when a shock came
which threw him some fifteen feet and
rendered him insensible for some time.
The shock caused an alarm, and those
who arrived first and entered the audi
ence room found the atmosphere hot
and impregnated with gas, the carpets
and cushions on fire In places, several OF
the memorial windows ruined, tho
three small arched windows over the
organ completely shattered, and the
heavy outside front door blown out into
the street. The theory of the explosion
is that the gas given of by the benzine
being heavier than air, considerable
quantity leaked down around the fur.
mace registers into the lecture room, and
when the sexton lit his match II eyplod
ed. The damage is variously estimated
at from $500 TO $4,000. II is thought
that, as a moth extermnator, the plai
was q success.

The Uses of the Lemon.

AS the writer in the London Lancet
remarks, few people know the value of
lemon Juice. A piece of lemon bound
upon a corn will cure i. in Il few DAYS :;
it should be renewed night and morn
ing. A free use of lemon juice and SUI
gar will always relieve cough. Most
people feel poorly in the spring, but if
they would eat lemon before break
fast every day for week-with or with
out sugar, as they like-they would find
it better than any medicine. Lemon
juice used according to this recipe will
sometimes cure consumption: Put a
dozen lemons into cold water and slow.
ly bring to boil; boil slowly until the
lemons are soft, but not too soft, then
squeeze until the juice is all extracted,
add sugar to your taste, and drink In
this way use one dozen lemons day.
IL they cause pain, or loosen the bowels
too much, lessen the quantity, use only
five or six n day until you are better,
and then begin again with dozen a
day. After using five or six dozen the
patient will begin to gain flesh and ell
joy food. Hold OH to the lemons, and
still use them very freely several weeks
more. Another use for lemons is for a
refreshing drink in summer, or in sick
ness at any time. Prepare as directed
above, and add water and sugar. But
in order to have this keep well, after
boiling the lemons, squeeze and strain
them carefully; then to every half pint
ofjuice add one pound of loaf or crushed
sugar, boil and stir a few minutes more
until the sugar is dissolved, skim care
fully and bottle. You will get more
juice from the lemons by boiling them,
and the preparation keeps better.

GOLD AT l03.-ll may surprise some
people to know that the silver dollar,
to-day, is of less value than the green
back dollar. Yet such is the case. Gold,
to-day. is quoted ut l03-thc lowest
quotation since the suspension of specie
payments in June, 1862. With gold at
1913, the paper or greenback dollar is
worth bare trife under 81 cents 9
mills. The old silver dollar is-or
would be, if ii were now In existence
worth only 81 cents ; l-2 mills with
gold at this figure. This is the silver
dollar of ll2 ~ grains, 900 fine, which
was formerly coined under the law of
January Is, 1887, but demonetized in
1873. The silver coins at present in use
are now worth the following figures /:
The trade dollar, 95 to 90 cents; one
dollar in halves or quarters, 50 Ia to
90 Ii cents; and one dollar in dimes
or half dimes, 80 - to SO cents.
