The Hardware Trade.

The importance Of the trade in Hardware,
Iron and Steel, is second to few other com
mercial interests in this country. To give
some idea of its character ard immensely we
have only to refer 10 the annual statement of
the Bureau of Statistics, by which it appears
that the value of such goods, entered for con-
sumption in the United States for the preyi-
ous year, was no less than SSO,GO0O0o Of which
enormous sum S2O,OOO,O0O was of steel and
its manufacture, which, of course, embraces
and is largely made up OF cutlery and SINH
lar hardware.
1t has been our pleasure in these columns
TO notice more than one firm engaged in this
line of business whose title is familiar in our
mouths. To no house can we point with
greater appreciation Of high their business
standing in the community than to the firm of
the Messrs Carolan, Cory X Co., of III and
ll9CallOrnia st.Sau Francisco. This firm was
first formed in 1852, the veterans in the trade.
We have lately had the pleasure Of paying II
visit to the headquarters of this house. An
enumeration Of all their leading articles
would be out Of our power to specify, but
those which came prominently before our
notice and who they ar" agents for, are
Southington Cutlery co.'s cutlery; Emery.
Warehouse Il CO.'S shovels; nails of the
universally familiar Red Anchor brand, the
various manufacturers of steel Of the Pitts
burg Steel Works; the wares of the North
western Horse Nail Co.. and a vast assortment
OF carriage and wagon springs, aXles, etc
All Of these goods are of brands universally
known to the trade, and as universally APP
proved.

their present high position AS showing what

Glimpses of Lincoln.

SO much has been written about Lin
coins private life and personal habits,
that it seems unnecessary now to add
more than a word He was simple in all
his tastes; liked old songs and old poetry.
He was always neatly, but not tinically
dressed. He disliked gloves, and once
saw him extract seven or eight pairs of
gloves from an ovcrcoat pocket, where
they had accumulated after having been
furnished him by Mrs. Lincoln. Usually,
he drank tea and coffee at the table, but
he preferred milk, or cold water. Wine
was never TN the table at the White House,
except when visitors, other than familiar
friends, were present. The Presidents
glass was always filled, and he usually
touched it to his lips. Sometimes he
drank a few swallows, but never a whole
glass, probably. He was cordial and af-
fable, and his simple heartcd manners
made strong impression upon those who
met him for the first time. have known
impressiona6c women, touched by his
sad face and his gentle bearing, to go
away in tears. Once found him sitting
in his chair so collapsed and weary that
he did not look up or speak when adj
dressed him. He put out his hand, me-
chemically, as if to shake hands, when |
told him had come at his bidding. l.
was several minutes before he was aroused
enough to say that he chad had Il mighty
hard day Once, too, at a reception in the
White House, joined the long queue"
of people, shook hands with him, received
the usual "Glad to see you, SIR" and
passed on. Later in the evening, meeting
me, he declared that he had not seen me
before, and explained his preoccupation
of manner while the people were shaking
hands with him by saying that he was
thinking of man down South 1t af
terward came out that "the man down
South was Sherman. Once, when a
visitor used profane language in his pres
cncc, he rose and said, 81 thought Sen
ator G. had sent me a gentleman. | was
mistaken. There is the door, and l wish
you good night" At another time, a dele
cation from a distant State waited on
him with written protest against GER
tain appointments. The paper contained
some reflections upon the character of
Senator Baker, Lincoln's old and beloved
friend. With great dignity, the Presi-
dent said, "This is my paper which you
have given me-" Assured that it was, he
added, 40 do with as l pleasc?' Ger
tainly, Mr.. President Lincoln stopped
to the c-place behind him, laid it on the
burning Goals, turned and said, Good
day, gentlemen. "-N0dh Brooks, in Serb

One More Unfortunate.

Almost every day the papers chronicleth e
suicide ofsome poor unfortunate whose mind
has been enfeebled by dyspepsia, over whose
earthly horizon heavy gloom has gathered
from the untold and UNRELIABLE agonies OF this
cruel complaint. Dyspepsia is one of the most
depressing diseases affecting humanity. 1t is
cosmopolitan in its nature-no country is eN-
cmpt from its visitations, no family free
from its attacks There is "A balm in Gilesd {;
it comes in the shape OF the PERUVIAN SYR-
UP For years it has been scattering its
blessings abroad. There is probably no DIS
ease which experience has so amply proved
to be remediable by the PERUVIAN SYRUP as
dyspepsia. The most inveterate forms Of this
disease have been completely cured by this
medicine, as ample testimony OF many Of our
first citizens Dove.

eligible IN the house, and retired to the
unrescrvcd seats farther back. OF course
the action attracted the attention of the
usher, who, learning the reason of their
removal, gave them two side seats nearer
the platform. At ten o'clock, they quiet
ly retired, alike considera:c of the COM
fort of the audience and the coachman.
Such courtesy in public places is not so
common but that attention may be prop
crly called to this delicate act. The two
ladies deserve the appellation of high

ATTEND TO Nothing but
ultimate ruin stares that farmer in the
face who does not pay personal attention
to all the most minute details of his
farm. There are thousand small leaks
about the management o. an ordinary
farm, that if not closely attended to will
surely bring the most Woodworking
farmer to ruin and bankruptcy. Nine
tenths of the sinking farmers can attribute
their present distress to no other cause
than lack of close attention to the small
details of the farm; close supervision
of machinery and tools, the stock and
their feed, a place for everything an d
everything in its place. No one is as
much interested in attending to these de-
tails as the boss. Such a course will in a
few months, or a year or two at most, en-
able many farmers who are now on the
down grade, to again begin to ascend. II
heroically persevered in, it will surely
make hea1way against what now looks
so hopeless. \ fear of sunburnt hands
and face, dirty clothes and boots, and 1
desire to have a reputation that he does
not work on the farm, has been fruitful
source of loss to many farmers. \ cours,

An AMERICAN FoREsT.-But the most
interesting sight to me was the forest. 1t

grandeur, tall, magnificent, boundless.
/ had been somewhat disappointed in not
finding vegetation develop itself in larger
forms in New England than with us; but
there was no place for disappointment
here. | shall fail, however, to give you
the impression it makes on one. Did it
arise from height, or figure, or grouping,
it might readily be conveyed to you; but
it arises chiefly from combination. You
must see it in all its stages of growth, de-
cay, dissolution and regeneration; you
must see it pressing on you and overshad-
owing you by its silent forms, and at 9TH
or times spreading itself before you, like
a natural park; you must see that all the
cearances made by the human hand bear
no higher relation to it than does noun
tain to a globe; you must travel in it in
solitariness, hour after hour, and day af-
ter day, frequently gazing on i, with sol
emn delight, and occasionally casting the
eve round in search of some pause, some
end, without finding any-before you can
fully understand the impression. Men
say there is nothing in America to give
you the sense of antiquity; and they
mean that as there are no works of art to
produce this effect, there can be nothing
else.
