We know not when the hour may come, Mr.
Moody says. In the midst of life, Mr.. SWEET,
we are in death. How do your poor family

"Take what? Talk out. Have you

"Yes, sir, have bad news. In the flow

"Let me break it, gently, Mr.. Swott it

town that you are dead"
''Thcre isn't word of truth in it,"
"Thnk well, Mr.. SWEET, before denying
it. Some of the most wealthy and infuen-
tiaI of our citizens say it is So"
"But I say it isn't. l ought to know
Look at me-"
"Now, Mr.. SWEET, you understand the
rule of the law that where there is
a prepondcrance of evidence on ono
side it shall be assumed that the side pre-
senting such prcponderance shall be deemed
to be correct. There arc many who say
you are deceased, and against them you Of
fer your unsupported word. What is the
intelligent public to think %
"BuL 1 say, emphatically, am not dead.
Isn't that enough ?"
The reporter reflected. He knew Mr..
SWEET, and knew him to be high-minded,
honorable gentleman, and he hated to doubt
his word but he remembered numerous
calls on Mr.. SWEET for news, which he be-
nignly, good .naturcdly, but firmly refused
to give up, and what wonder that the rcpor-
torial mind should dwell on this character.

say there is some doubt about the matter,

He looked calmly at tho reporter, and

Cumberland News Of Tuesday.

cumberland News oil Tuesday.
About eleven o'clock Sunday evening
Mrs. Mclean n boarding.hous keeper on
Polk street, had II difficulty with her
daughter, Miss Mollie, Il girl OF fifteen or
sixteen years, land finally locked her up
in her bedroom, on the third floor OF the
house. The young lady became hysteri-
cal and threatened to throw herself out
Of the window. Mrs. Mclean thought
nothing Of the threat, but few minutes
afterwards, on going to the front, door
was Mortified to see her daughter hanging
by her hands from the sill Of one OF the
third.story windows, distance Of about
twenty.three feet from the sidewalk.
The mother screamed in terror, but had
the presence of mind to rush back into
the house and call somebody to bring n
feather bed to place on the sidewalk to
receive the girl when she fell, which il
was evident shc must. But before the
article could be brought the girls hold
on the sill loosed and she fell heavily on
the sidewalk and rolled into the gutter.
She was picked up and carried into the
house. An examination showed that no
bones were broken, and it was thought
that, beyond few severe contusions, she
was uninjured.

Dun FoRnGS TRADE. - The latest
trade returns at New York'show that the
general imports there Nre gradually ad.
vancing from the extreme decline Of last
year, though they have not yet reached
the average Of the half dozen years imme.
diately preceding. During May the i'm
ports were 2Sl millions, five millions
more than for May, 1876, but still FIVE
millions below May, 1875. For the five
months Of 1877 that have passed, the total
ia liGI millions, nine millions more than
the same period last year, but eighteen
millions below the same period Of 1875.
The eleven months Of the fiscal year
that have passed show total import
Of $2O3,3l4,l5G, an increase OF not
quite eight millions over the first
eleven months OF 1876. The actual
importation Of goods is less this
year than last, however, for this years
returns include nearly 81 millions OF
specie imported, whilst last year there
were not eight millions brought in. The
current years total for eleven months
importation is nearly 100 millions less
than the total for the corresponding
period Of 1928, when New York trade
reached its heaviest figures. There has
been steady decline in customs receipts
at New York, sS4A3i,045 having been
received during 1867, ten millions less
than for the same period OF 1876, and
seventeen millions less than the same
period OF 1915.
The New York export trade, on the
contrary, shows steady gains Thus, dur
ing May the total was $33,G2O,l Sl, near
ly four millions more than for May last
year. The eleven months Of 1867 show
total export Of S2Gl,O3l, 1886, twenty
five millions more than for the cores
ponding period Of last year. Although
the total is thus increased, the increased
export Of goods is in larger proportions,
for whilst S3l 100000 OF specie we're ex-
ported this year, the amount last year
was Sil,OOOOOO. The New York trade
generally represents about two.thirds OF
the imports, and nearly onc.haIi the ex.
ports Of the entire country.

THE New Orleans Picayune speaks
cheeringly Of the sugar prospect; reports
from the growing crop everywhere are
most encouraging. Labor was never
more satisfactory, the tilluge is careful,
the dry weather has allowed Of the cul.
tivation being complete. The foreign
production OF sugar, especially in Cuba,
has fallen OF, and tho Louisiana grower
expects to make n profit this season; the
Cuban decrease will be at least twenty-five
per cent. The admission Of Hawaii su.
gar Tree has caused but little diminishing
Of price on the Pacific shore: it is too
small n crop to materially affect the mar.
ket. The Louisiana planters want good,
permanent levces to protect them from
overflow; with these the business will in.
crease and become grcater than in the
palmieSt days, for in good season the pro.
fits OF the grower Of sugar is much be-
yond what is obtained in any other branch

The strawberry crop in this vicinity is
