Commercial Tides.

A late editorial in the London Times adj
vances and supports the theory that in
England there is period of revolution in
trade and commerce of about ten years. A
series of changes takes place in that time,
beginning with slight revival of activity
after season of depression, then rapid
development of energetic pushing, the high
tide of prosperous times, sudden wave that
sweeps away all business confidence, rapids
and breakers, and settling down into a
depression again, only to have the same re-
current changes in the next decade. The
writer says that other nations have their
commercial periods, but the same law of
time cannot be extended to them, and he
inclines to think that they are entirely dis
tinct, although the trade condition of one
country may affect that of another to some
extent.
A close observer of our own history will
notice recurrence of financial and business
fluctuations in some degree similar to those
described above, though marked with less
regularity-owing, doubtless, TO the more
unsettled state Of society and its business
interests which necessarily pertains to 4
comparatively new country. This country
according to the best human judgment, will
soon be prosperous and happy again, ant
the moderation learned by the severity Of
the lesson taught will have tendency t.
prevent reckless speculation and spendthrif
extravaganza until its teachings have fade,
out of the memory, Prosperity here will
help TO promote recovery in England, and a
the rapidity Of the recovery is In proportion
to the enterprise and recuperative power o
the people, II is to be hoped that her darl
days will soon be over.

A BRACE OF WoNDERs.-A somewhat
remarkable thing has happened in Pennsyl-
l.WM-two of them, in fact. The inspectors
of the eastern penitentiary were entrusted
with the sum of $4,000, with which to
build two new blocks of cells. That was
nearly two years ago. They made their
own plans, employed convict labor with
only two or three skilled mechanics to direct
it, put up buildings unsurpassed anywhere
for solidity and thoroughness of construc-
ton, and turned over to the treasury an un-
expended balance of about two thousand
dollars. This is one remarkable thing. The
other, of like character, occurred in the
western part of the state. Three commits
sioners were appointed to build hospital
for the insane. 1t was to be of stone, fire.
proof throughout and to accommodate seven
hundred and fifty patients. Its cost was
estimated at l,062 600, and that sum was
appropriated for the purpose. This hos
pital has been built so substantially and with
such excellence of workmanship throughout,
MS W ildhe ~ uho huoop PuohS pu'i''hS
owned by the state of Pennsylvania, and
with capacity for seven hundred and eighty
patients, thirty more than the number orig
inally contemplated, at cost of sS6O,OGO
or two hundred thousand less than the sun
appropriated. Few states, if any, cal
match the above record of careful and sue
cessful administration OF official trusts.

The late Princess Alice is said to have
possessed an extremely gentle and amiable
disposition which caused her TO be gen
eral favorite. She has had six children,
five daughters and one son two of them are
dead, one from injuries received from fall
ing out of window some five years ago,
and the other from the same terrible dis
ease, diphtheria, which has caused the death
of the Princess. The fact of the latter oc
curing upon the anniversary of the death
of her father, Prince Albert, will no doubt
intensity the grief of the Queen, bringing
up as it does in addition to her present loss
the sad bereavement OF seventeen years ago
! from which she has never recovered.

GONE UP.-The New Orleans Democrat
thus bows out the noted bell-punch "The
Moffett register has come down like rocket.
A year ago this law was in force in one
state, Virginia; had been passed in another,
Louisiana, but was not yet in force, and
was before the legislatures of New York,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, South Carolina
and Mississippi, with every prospect of
being adopted in these states and becoming
law. But to-day the Moffett register has
fallen into disrepute everywhere. A bill
proposing this law was presented before the
legislature of Georgia the other day, but
there is no hope or possibility of its passage,
The press and people of Georgia are unani-
mously opposed to it, and it is scarcely
likely that it will get dozen votes in the
legislature. That our Moffett register law
will be abolished at the coming session of
the legislature the results of the late cleo
ton leave no doubt Even in Virginia the
originator of this new mode of raising taxes,
the Moffett register, has proved fraud and
failure. The revenue derived from this
source has decreased from month to month,
until it now yields little more than the old
revenue from liquor licenses used to return
1t is said that at the next session of the Vir'
ginia legislature this law will be repealed
and the old system re-adopted. As for the
Moffett register bills now before the legisla
lures of New York, Pennsylvania, Tennes
see and Mississippi, they have mysteriously
disappeared since the failure of the law in
Virginia has been made apparent, aud art
to-day denied and repudiated by those who
advocated their adoption"

A CELESTIAL BooK.-A Chinaman who
visited the Philadelphia Exposition has writ
ten book of four volumes which is a curl
osity in its way, because is gives the impress
sions of one who, for the first time, views
Western civilization, He SCENE to have a
quick, ready mind, open to perceive the ad-
vantages of the strange things he saw,
without the drawback of any national preju-
dice. His liberality in one thing, however,
is peculiar and unexpected. Considering
the regard in which their women are held,
that they are without souls and can have no
hereafter, it is surprising to find him advo-
eating female education. Upon the princi-
pie that the ability of women is equal TO
that of men, he urges upon his countrymen
the establishment of schools for the training
of their girls. In America he says are three
| or four millions of female teachers and
scholars and that is why the country grows
in prosperity. Parents value their daughter;
as much as their sons, while in China they
are despised and many times drowned. The
whole book shows the great progress mad,
by educated Cinnamon in modern ways o.
thought, and the desire which is rapidly
growing TO introduce modern civilization
with its advantages among their country
men.

A" Stalwart" Presentation.

What Senator Blaine's speech lacks in
Hamilton, who, in a recent letter, gives free
play to her caustic pen. We quote para
graph: /" A year or two ago we settled the
Southern question. The outraged and in
dignant South was relieved of the yoke
placed upon her neck by her Northern OPP
pressors She was right-hearted and wanted
to be law-abiding, but the presence of
federal army had always proved too much
for her equanimity, so the army was taken
away that her loyalty and patriotism and
right-mindedness might have full course to
run and be gloriied-and thus the Southern
question was settled. The blacks and whites
were left to themselves, the barrel well
headed up, the bung driven in hard. But
somehow or other the law of the universe
has been violated. Saying that the South
ern question was out of politics-was a
thing of the past-did not make it so. The
Presidents perfect confidence that with
the bayonets removed from the South the
people of the South would be safer in every
right has not ensured the safety of the
Southern peoples right, or even lives. The
hiss and froth of ferment are new every
morning and fresh every evening The
stone which the policy.builders rejected il
become the head of the corner; the South
ern question the one issue which confrontl
us to-day. Sanguine men pronounced san
culinary, and Bourbon, and effete, the yer,
thing which to-day they preach as impera
tive and immediate. We were tired o
trouble and unrest and unsolved problems
We would have peace, unmindful of the la,
which must underlie all permanent and rea
peace, And today the solid South grind
and gibes at us all along our border-lint
and fraud mocks us with its shameless lee
and violence lifts high its blood-staine
hand, and we have all the fight to fight ovt
again-with foe refreshed, invigorate'
and stimulated by the long truce and rest
foe whose feet we have unshackled thu
they might be more swift to do evil, whol
hands we have unbound that they migl
make the more haste TO shed blood"

THE COMING LIGHT.-Edison's applica-
ton for a patent on his electric light has
been granted by the United States authori
ties, and the reason he does not make the
details of his invention public is that he is
now at work through his agents to secure
patent in England. There is little doubt
that he will succeed. Mr. Edison claims for
his light that it will burn forever with no
consumption of material, but it calls for
central machinery Of greater or less power
for generating and distributing the electric
force. AT this point another inventor, Mr.
Gary, comes in with his simple magnetic
motor and will generate electricity without
cost or limit, except the first cost of the
machine. Uniting Mr.. Edison's platinum
light with Mr.. Gary's portable generator, it
is proposed that every family shall have a
machine that will generate light out of moth
ing, that is, without the consumption of any
material. There was divine command,
"Let there be light" and the chronicler
adds, and there was light The future
historian may have occasion to employ the
same language with regard to Edison and
Gary

Nor DEslRABLE.-There is great deal
of good sense in the following, from the
Portland Press, and the season of the year
presents highly appropriate time for its
thoughtful consideration: "Nol we do not
want those flush times again. We have
no desire to live on credit luxuriously for
decade and then scrape and pinch for twenty
years after in order to pay our back bills.
Sufficient unto the day is the debt thereof.
But if we can be content with the humdrum
existence of the days before the war we can
be happy. We are growing richer every
day, though the surplus over daily needs
is not all saving. 1t is encroached upon by
the necessity of paying old bills that are
continually falling due. Fortunately our
backs have been fitted to the self-imposed
burden, and we are strong enough to carry
it. 1t causes a groan now and then, but we
should be consoled by the thought that it is
yearly diminishing"

CoLLAPsED.-Among other things which
have been tried in war during late years is
the balloon. 1t will be remembered that
they were partial success in the Franco
German struggle. Now the government of
India is thinking of employing them in the
Afghan campaign, in order to ascertain the
enemy's movements in that mountainous
country. 1t will be found costly expert
ment which will probably amount to little or
nothing in the way of benefitting the army.
During our civil war the effort to use them
was abandoned for two reasons First the
apparatus and machinery required to oper
ate them needed as many horses for trans
portation as to move train of heavy artil-
lery second the height to which it was nee
essary for the balloon to rise to be out of
the range of the enemy's artillery was so
great that the observations taken could not
be relied upon. AT one time, it will be re-
membered, the balloonist reported that the
rebels were retreating TO Richmond, when
in fact they were moving in an opposite di-
rection. After McClellan's peninsular cam
paign, the balloon was wholly abandoned,
and the army returned TO the use of tall
lookouts.

SMALL economies are practiced now that
were scorned few years ago. As an evil
dence Of this it is stated that in New York
the five cent trains, which are run especially
for the working classes at certain hours of
the day are crowded with business people
in good circumstances, who wait for them in
order to save the extra nickle. The cars are
filed so uncomfortably at these times that
the passengers are obliged to fight their way
on or off. Once, and not so very long age
either, these same people would have paid a
quarter rather than be forced into pie
bian jam.

The trade dollar agitation is demagogism,
pure and simple. The government has no
more to do with the trade dollar than it has
with the Centennial medals, and it is just as
proper for member of Congress to intro
duce bill to make those tokens legal ten.
der as to make trade dollars legal tender.
Both were coined at the United States mints
as a private speculation for parties having
no connection with the government There
is an INSCRIPTIONS ring behind this move
ment in favor of the trade dollars which
wants to plumber the people of the differ
ence between these trade tokens and gen
une dollars.

making most excellent use of the money
with which Dame Fortune has endowed her.
Possessed of large income, she has set
apart 100000 year to establish kinder
far eighteen have been put into active oper-
alton at her expense, and the successful APP
plications for admissions are always the poor

besides opening these schools, established
public nurseries where laboring women can

their enforced absence from home. This is
an example of practical benevolence worthy

NoRTHFELD.-As the children Of our graded
school were ON their way home last week Wednes-
day afternoon one Of them--Edgar Page, six or
seven years old-was run over by horse and
wagon, driven by c. d. Edgeron, and so severely
injured that his life seemed to hang in doubtful
balance for some days, He is now recovering.
1t is hoped that this incident will serve to make
all parties more cautious. So that when people
drive, Ms in this case, where the road is full of
school children, they will "let their moderation
be known to all mem" also, that Juveniles will
"look before they Leaf" or suddenly attempt to
cross the road. The wife of Peter st. John,
living on Pleasant street, Sunday, about two
O'Clock In the afternoon, took about half tea

with the design to "shuille Oft this mortal coil
She failed In her intention by taking an overdose.

HAMPTON has disappointed the expecta-
tons which his early and bold champion
ship of liberalism had aroused, and allowed
himself to be overborne during the recent
campaign, when he might have put the
Bourbons TO rout, But he still remains the
foremost citizen of the state, and one of the
half dozen Southern leaders upon whose
continued prominence the prosperity of that
section largely depends.-Sprinafed Rep.
