the results of an extended tour of repre-
sentative of the DEMoCRAT through the
business marts Of our city, pleasure, be-
cause the results show how quickly, in these
days Of energetic commerce, a metropolis
like ours can throw off the gombre garb Of
4 woe and, revivified and reiuvenated, resume
nnce more her proud rank In the constellation
Nj leading commercial cities, undmmed by
her cloud of Affections. Since the departure
of the fever from our midst trade has multi
piled to remarkable degree, and where
during the epidemic streets were silent. now
they re-echo with the busy hum OF traffic.

Ninth street, down to the lowest limits of the

broached to the wayfaring sailor Or laborer,
that he answered, "Well, it's only getting
hrisk." an idea may be shaped Of what "busi-
ness" will be here within the next fortnight.

thera Is literally o forest of masts the figure
