There Is Trouble in Store

For those who neglect to rectify Irregularities
of the stomach, liver and bowels, which they
foolshly imagine will "comc right of them
selves" OF this silly error such persons are
usually disabused by the development OF
some serious chronic malady, traccable to
what they were pleased to consider a tritling
disorder Of the above named associate organs
Such a elimination is easily avoided A
course of Hostetters Stomach Bitters inVar-
ably has the effect of renewing the secretive
action of q torpid liver, restoring healthy di-
gestion and assimilation and rendering the
habit of body perfectly regular. The activity
of these all important functions being re-
stored and the entire system toned and regu-
lated by this incompatible corrective and
invigorant, no danger to the general health
is to be apprehended from causes which, If
not eradcaed in time, will assuredly under.

A SIGN on house on Croghan street
intorms the public that washing is done
there, and it was quite natural that a me-
chanic working near by should take a
bundle under his arm and call there and
ask of the boy on the step: "Bub, is the

prompt reply-"there's no washwom-

Facts Gathered at the Mills of Lowell.

The great question with the cotton
manufacturers at Lowell and Lawrence
! to-day is not how to accustom the mar
kets Of the world to their superior fab
rics, and make them purchase mOre of
their coarse shirtings and drillings, but
how to initiate England in mixing lot
of clay and other foreign substances in
the finer grades. America to-day is eX-
porting about $l3,0O0,O 900 worth of cot
ton fabrics, but they are of the cDarser
material, and that particular branch is in
creasing by the week almost. In fact,
the mills at Lowell are worked up pretty
closely to the ever increasing demand for
these coarser goods, but when it comes to
the finer grades England succeeds in
making an article which our best manu-
tacturers cannot approach, not because
they do not know how, but because they
lack the peculiar machinery required to
mix these foreign substances with the
cotton aud still produce fine article, as
England does.
ave will get hold of that kind of ma
chinery by and by" said a Lowell maru-
iacturer to me yesterday, "but we are not
in hurry. In fact, we are getting along
very nicely. Our prosperity does not de-
pend upon our export trade, and popular
judgment should not be misled by con-
tinually repeating that our home markets
cannot consume all we make. There are
to-day less dry goods in the American
market than there is demand for, and
when in the course of time we can fully
supply all that demand and initiate Eng
land thoroughly in the manufacture Of
the finer grades of fabrics, then and then
only can we honestly compete with her
| in the neutral market. But we are as yet
a very far way from it. Only this can
tell you," he added, "the American mills
are making money and the English mills
are not, with all of their vast export
trade. We have just taken account of
three Of our mills, and we find that dur
ing the past six months they have paid
from three to five per cent, which means
about ten per cent per annum. There is
not II mill in the whole Of Great Britain
that has such large return on its invest
ments. Of course, our trade needs fos-
teriDg and great care, but it is folly to
say that we would not make as heavily
weighted an article as England does. We
are not bit more honest; only, as | told
you before, first, we have not the machin-
cry for it, and second, there exists no ne.
cessity for it as yet while we have our
hands full in supplying the present de.

The Autocrat of Credit in New York.

John Brown has been in the Stewart
concern for quarter of century or
more, and has risen to very important
position in the palace'of fashion. He is
a quiet looking man, Of courteous man
ners, and is one of that class ordinarily
called "shop-walker." Mr.. Brown,
however, has a vastly more important
duty than ordinary men of this class. He
is the autocrat Of credit, and has for years
studied the vast range of high life, with
yie-D to know the ability to pay. He has
Il list of the substantial portion of the beau
monde, and also one of the doubtful
class, to which is added a general and
rapid view Of the trash which fits about
the world of show. Every year Brown
makes out new list, but such is the
change in social life that each month
calls for fresh inspection. Brown has his
"tiCklern (as the book is called in COM
mercial parlance) but he carries its con-
tents to a very large extent in his head,
and he is ready when any lady's name is
mentioned to give an immediate reply.
Hence it is very important for fashionable
shoppers to be in good odor with the au-
toclat of credit, and money is the favor
able tale poured into his ear by importu-
nate ladies, but when duty requires it he
is hard as flint. Many of those who for
merly paid cash now want credit, and
there are ladies who run bills at Stewards
of 100000 in year. The collector is
out all the time. lie walks about fifteen
miles day, and takes on an average
hundred refusals to ten that pay. This
kind of business is undesirable, but it is
found to be unavoidable, aud the colIec-
tor learns sad lesson of the falsehood of
the fashionable world. No doubt it was
much the same in Pope's day, for he tells
of one "who paid tradesman once to
make him stare" A very liberal credit
is also given by modistcs and milliners,
who must sell their goods or be stuck
with unfas hiOnable stock. Stewards con-
ccrn is making incessant efforts to retain
tirst-class position, but it has a severe
rivalry. The fashionable world is now
turning toward the cheaper places of
trade, such as Sixth and Eighth avenues.
Macy's great establishment ON the Sixth
avenue has taken an immense amount of
trade from Broadway Correspondence Of

The Hp PoCKET,-There is no dodg-
ing the new law against carrying CON
cealed deadly weapons. It's mandatory,
and not left to the discretion of Jury.
Whoever is convicted of carrying con
cealed weapons must suffer both fine and
Imprisonment There is no way of pay
ing out or lodging the penalty. Money
will not suffice, but the rich as we'll as
the poor must endure the puuishment.
After one years trial of this measure we
are satisfied it will show good results.
There will be fewer brawls in which the
pistol or knife is used, and all rowdies
or rufiians will have to 90 back to the
settlement of difficulties by rough-and-
tumble fist andskull fights. Chairs and
champagne bottles will be favOrite weap-
ons in bar.room wars, aad hickory canes
and ax-handles in the open streets. We
think the blood record Of Kentucky will
be much lighter during the next twelve
months than it has been for years. Few
persons will be willing to take the risk of
being caught with concealed weapons,
and many disturbances that grow out of
passion and intemperance will be avcrted.

Or the late Miss Catherine Beccher,
the Hartford COuTam says, in speaking
of her great interest in sociology, that
"she was whole Socia. Science Asgocia-
ton in permanent session. Miss Beecher
had mind Of original yigor but with
out much imagination; and perhaps
it was the want Of imagination that made
some OF her schemes for doing good i'm
practicable. She had good deal of
racy humor and mother wit; she had pa
tience, magnanimity, rare III her sex, and
unbounded good nature. She was most
entertaining companion, alert, suggestive;
and her talk was full of flesh comments
on persons and things without the least
bitterness or malice. But she made
her own common sense the standard of
judgment, and doubted the value of any
thing not commended by that"

"WuERE THE WooDBGNE TwINETH.'-
Speaking of Jim Fisk one is reminded OF
that expression so frequently used by
him, "Gonc where the woodbine twineth.'
The origin Of this WAS rather peculiar.
Fisk attended to the sailing Of the sound
steamer every afternoon, and then made
direct for his usual haunt of splendid
rcvelry, which was Delmonico's, in Fifth
avenue His best route brought him to
Sixth avenue, corner Of Thirteenth street,
where stood building covered with
greenery, and called the "Woodbine."
TWAS popular drinking house, and it is
said that some Of Fisk's cronies were
among its patrons. 1t thus became n
common thing for him when asked con-
cerning any one to reply, Gone where
the wOodbne twineth.' This year the
Woodbine yields to the inevitable law Of
mutation. The house is demolished, and
all its memories and associations Go carry
out the same figure are "gone where the

STATE OF LOUISIANA
Proclamation by the Governor.

The President of the United States having
recommended THURSDAY the twenty eighth
day Of November, 1873 as day of Thanksgiving
nHd Prayer, the GoveFnorsof many OF our sister
States have made special requests to the people
thereof to observe the same It is especially
proper that the people Of Louisiana should Join
In its observance. In the day Of their suffering
and distress they have received the most signal
evidence of the sympathy Of the people OF the
Union. Their voices should not be silent when
thanks are rendered for the many blessings
which have been youchsafed our whole country.
The summer which has passed has left many OF
our households In Louisiana desolate, but even
through the sadness Of the year there is no one
among as but who has cause to recognize Gods
kindness and mercy. In humble recognition
of that fact I do recommend to the people OF
Louisiana that on the day suggested they unite
with the people Of the enire country In a com
mon EXPRESSION Of gratitude to their Maker.
| In witness whereof | have hereto set my hand
and caused to be affixed the seal Of the State Of
Louisiana. on this twenty-first day Of Noven-

Next Sunday at the st. Louis Cathedral,
Gounod's High Mass, for male voices only,
will be sung by twenty Of our best amateurs,
under the leadership of Prof. Cartier. The
''Yeni Creator" (quartette for male voices,
and the "Anlma Christi" Nhree singers), two
sacred hymns Of great beauty, will form part
of the ceremonies. This mass is one Of Gou-
mods best productions, and its feature is the
exclusion Of female voices, the solos. quar-
tettes and choruSes being sung by male voices
only.
The ceremonies of next Sunday ore to celc-
brate the anniversary Of st. CeCilia's feast,
the patroness OF music, who lived In the time
OF Alexander Severuis, the Roman Emperor.
She Is called the patroness Of music because
In singing the praises Of the Lord she accom-
panied her voice with instrumental music.
The festival Of the saint happened yesterday,
but the st. Cecilia Philharmonic Society have
postponed the commelnOratiOn OF it TO Sun-
day by chaunting the beautiful mass Of Gou-
nod.
No doubt the spacious cathedral will be
hardly sufficient to hold the crowds thnt
will flock to hear one Of tho finest pieces In
the repertoire Of sacred music, sung by the
appreciated st. Cecilia's Society.
