General Notes OF Trade. Com.
InerCc and Manufacture.

Mining stocks throughout the country
are fat and getting llatter, :here being
almost nothing doing in them.
New Hampshires White Mountains
are now yielding gold in small quantities,
and not a few prospectors are well paid
in The result.
The exports Of furniture, wooden ware,
wagon stocks, and other wooden material
from this country, now reaches about
100000 per annum.
Coal dealers OF Boston estimate that
they have made 81 100000 out Of their
purchases of anthracite for winter stock
at the present low rates.
For the time being many Of the manu-.
featuring establishments OF Pittsburgh
are compelled TO atop. owing to the i'm
possibility OF obtaining transportation
fOrsupplies.
Rhode Islands manufacturing capital
is S0,OOO,OO0, which earns $l2G 100000
per annum. Tho labor is set down at
S25,OOO,OOO, and the profits at over $50.
100000.
A thirteen foot vein OF anthracite coal
has been discovered in New Brunswick.
As it contains but fifty-eight per cent Of
fixed carbon, it will not market to very
good advantage.
Already are the staticians at work esti.
mating the cost Of the interruption to
business by the railroad strikes. The
loss to the Baltimore & Ohio is set down
at over 100000 and the Pennsylvania
Central at more than 100000.
Strong efforts are being made in New
York to abolish the system Of obtaining
trade known as that Of drumming" Ac.
ccrding to the estimates and conclusions
Of some houses 1t has reached that stage
where expense and losses totally con.
denim 1t.
The Colorado Coal Mines yielded, in
1876, nearly 100000 tons OF coal, worth
about $4,000 at the banks. This
amount Is likely to be increased with
each succeeding year, as the use OF coal is
becoming much more general for domes.
tic, mining, milling and reducing pur.
poses in that region.
The bulk OF the boot and shoe business
in the East, for the fall trade, is reported
through with, and proved fully as good as
was expected for it. The increase Of
manufactures in the West is gradually
cutting into the business of the Eastern
centres, and viii undoubtedly in the end
draw of the largest proportion Of the
trade.
Some Of the fine paper makers Of Holy.
oke, Mass, find decided improvement
in the state of trade Of late. Although
this is It's dull season, orders are rather
better than usual, and there is also a dis.
position to buy finer grades, but with a
decided effort to buy goods for less than
the combination rate.

Amos Fish, who died in Albany last
week, leaving property worth $4,000,
once described his manner Of life to n
friend thus: ~ buy shank OF beef from
the butcher, which costs me ten cents. My
wife makes enough soup from this to do
us one meal; then the meat cut from it nj.
terward makes two more meals, or one
days food for ten cents. l split the bone
and get the marrow for cooking purposes,
and my wife finds sufficient fuel in the
bone itself 10 do considerable cooking.
Then. in an iron box ! save the ashes
which l use for manurinS lew plants
that bring me six cents EACH" Yet when
extra taxes were put upon his property,
he very rarely, if ever, demanded more
rent from tenants than what they had
been paying. He married widow, who
had two children and little money. He
offered 10 borrow the money and TO allow
her seven per centum. One day he forced
a settlement with her, bringing in bill
Tor her own and children's board, and
leaving her in debt to him.

Npcctaclcs In tne French ArmY

According to the Temps the military
authorities Of France. have decided upon
issuing an order sanctioning the wearing
Of spectacles by the officers and men Of
the French army. In Germany specta.
Giles have long been worn by both officers
and men in the ranks. It Is rcckoncd az
essential that an officer should lie able 10
see his men, and that these latter should
be able to clearly distinguish the target
at which they have to fire; and therefore
unless spectacles or eyeglasses are per.
mitted, every shortsighted man must be
excluded from the army. Consequently
by allowing a man 10 assist his defective
vision by artificial means n large number
OF men who are at present necessarily re.
jectcd will become available for service

WHEN "Ten Thousand a Year" first
appeared, TWAS published anonymously,
and Mr.. Warren, the author, used to 20
about among his brethren at the bar ask.

came famous, One day Warren attacked

thorship, the judge said; "Ob, yes, Of

your word and honor not 10 betray my
confidence" Warren gave his word with
great solemnity. n am the author Of
Ten Thousand a Year," said tie Judge.
The next day there appeared paragraph
IN the papers announcing that Mr.. War.

attracted so much attention, and In the
next edition Of the work the name Of the
author appeared for the first time on the
