The Clearing House returns from
twenty-one leading cities of the United
States, for the month ending March 80,

trade show losses, though at Boston the
loss is insignificant. OF five cities OF
the second class, New Orleans shows q
real increase in business, and San Fran
cisco an increase partly real and partly
apparent only. fhe three others lose,
but Baltimore less than the decline in
prices during the year. At the head OF

Family Estates in This Country.
Several years ago Edward Everett. ir

Several years ago Edward Everett, in
public address, remarked that wealth
in this country could not descend to the
third generation. It is singular that the
most prominent example of the falsity
of this theory should be found in the
families with which Mr.. Everett was con-
nected by marriage, the Adamses and the
Brookses. The will of the late Sidney
Brooks is an illustration. Notwithstand-
ing the laws of entail and primogeniture
are not in vogue in the United States,
the tendency of wealth is growing
stronger and stronger toward building
up and extending family estates in a.
rect line. The next generation of the
Adams family, if it inherits the accumu-
lative propensities of the past and pres
ent generations, will be one of the
wealthiest in the country, and will prove
that wealth accumulated by the founder
of a family can be held through as many
generations as in England. Boston

Laughter.

Laughter very often shows the bright
side Of man. 1t brings out his happier
nature, and shows Of what sort of stuff
he is really made. Somehow we feel as
if we never thoroughly knew man until
we had heard him laugh. We do not
feel cat home" with him till then We
do not mean mere Singer, but a good,
hearty, round laugh. The solemn, sober
visage, like Sundays dress, tells moth
ing of the real man. He may be very
silly or very profound, very cross or very
jolly. Let us hear him laugh, and we
can decipher him at once, and tell how
his heart beats.

To SAY that the Springfield Republican
caused the nomination OF Col. Proctor by
the Vermont Republicans would be credit
ing it with an influence it does not possess,
but it is apparent that its persistent opposi-
tion was a help to him.-BoStOn Traveller
The Trarelier is quite right. The Re
publican never showed more clearly its IL
norance of Vermont politics and Vermont
people, than during the recen; canvass. Ii
began, before the canvass opened, BY insist
ing that Mr.. Park was L eandidate.-an
idea to which it held the exclusive PATENT
and fought him with amusing pertinaeity
and zeal. 1t evidently knew nothing of the
character of the real candidate. 1t opposed
Col Proctor as an inferior man, and could
discover in the wide and hearty response to
the suggestion of his name, only fictitious
newspaper popularity, manufactured for the
occasion. L. talked of Hon. George S. Merrill
throughout, as an "ex-miltary candidate"
in utter unsuspiciousne-s of the fact that he
had never been in the army. Up to the
very assembling Of the Convention, it insist
ed that the Convention would make no
choice from the candidates in the field /; but
would nominate some new man. And the
new men it suggested Oitenesr, and sppar-
emily supposed had the best chance for the
nomination, were two Demonstration.
