Trade and Business,

this season. Potatoes are selling for 80 cts.

caded silk, having solid silver clasps, are the
latest Importation.
The news concerning the Egyptian cotton
crop continues very good, and large yield
is expected The samples so far have been
of good quality.
During the past three years, 1872 American
railroads, covering nearly seventeen thousand
miles, and representing an invested capital of

The finer wool goods in all the different
lines are in greater demand this fall than for
many years, and thus, in the spring, fine cloths
will be more called for. Manufacturers are
therefore buying more fine wool, and holders
are advancing their prices slightly.
Reliable reports from different sections of
Virginia, represent the corn and cotton crop
to be an average one; tobacco will yield only
two-thrds the usual quantity; the peanut
crop will be the best ever made in the State,
and all minor crops are in promising con-
dition.
The exceedingly brilliant prospect Of the
Western crops is already having a marked
effect on trade in New York. Buyers appear
ed earlier in the season than usual, and as
rule have made much larger purchases
Heavier stocks are moving toward all points
of distribution, both west and south, and al
together the merchants are having season
of very agreeable activity. The only misgiv-
ing felt is lest the old American habit of being
too sanguine should carry traders too far, and
lead them in the flush of returning wealth into
speculations which in any ordinary state Of
health they would be quite unable to stand.

fellow says:
"Nowhere such devious stream,
Save in fancy or in dream,
Winding slow through bush and brake,
Links together lake and lake.
Walled with woods or sandy shelf,
Ever doubling on itself,
Flows the stream so still and slow,
That it hardly seems to flow.
In the mirror of its tide,
Tangled thicket on each side,
Hang united and between,
Floating cloud of sky serene"

Your quondam correspondent "Joannes 4"
having walked up from his Rip Van Wrinkle
nap, in old Winthrop, started for the State
Fair last week, and on his entrance to the
Park was attracted to the stand by the famil-
lar voices of Senator Hamlin, Gov .Garcelon,

General Grant.

The splendid ovation rendered to General
Grant upon his arrival at San Francisco, Is
fittingly bestowed upon the distinguished
man to whom the American people owe so
much. After two years and four months
of travel in foreign lands, accompanied by
such public and private demonstrations OF
respect as no other person ever was for
tunate enough to receive, General Grant
has returned to America to find himself
still honored and loved as when his great
victories were fresh IN the minds of his
countrymen.
General Grant sailed from Philadelphia
on the 18th of May, 1877, amidst demon
STATIONS of hearty goodwill, for England,
reaching Liverpool on the 2Sth. His grand
reception by the authorities and people OF
that country is well remembered. The
remainder of the year was spent in visit
Ing places In Europe. At the beginning Of
the next year he visited Egypt, went up
the Nile. saw the places of interest in that
country and then returned to Europe,
where he spent the rest of the year.
Early in 1878 the General reached Bonn
bay, after a speedy passage across the
Indian Ocean. During that year and the
opening months of 1877 General Grant
wandered over India. visiting all its
famous cities and historic places, and
being everywhere received by the British
authorities with fine same distinguished
honors that they had paid him in England.
After completing his long tour of India,
he started for China, but on the way there
stopped to visit the King of Siam. From
Siam the General went on to China, and
arrived at Saigon, in French Cochin China,
the 25th of April, where the French author
tiles received him with military honors.-
On the 30th he was at Hong Kong, where
elaborate preparations had been made for
his reception. From Hong Kong he went
to Canton, and from there to Shanghai.
Leaving the coast, the General journeyed
to Pekin, and the time spent there delayed

finest iron-elad in the Japanese fleet had
been sent to convey him to Yokohama,
where the people, the Government officers,
and the foreign residents had for some
weeks before been preparing to receive
the party in magnificent style. General
Grants stay in Japan was prolonged till
the Sd of September, and presented the
same features as his soiourn in other coun-
tries. On the Sd inst. he took passage on
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's
vessel, City of Toxic, and arrived in San
Francisco Saturday. His reception at San
Francisco was the most magnificent the
city could tender him. Long may he be
spared to enjoy the love and respect of the
American people.

WORD TO DOUBTERs.

There is good old English maxim that
teaches us to ''believe every man honest UNI
til we know him to be villain" American
custom seems to have reversed this law and
appears to make every man a villain until he
has proved himself an honest man. As with
people, SO with things. Every article placed
in our markets can lay claim to popular favor
upon intrinsic merit and value alone. Con-
tinual popularity, therefore, is proof positive
of intrinsic excellence. DIR. Pierce's Family
Remedies are far more popular to-day than
ever before. The people have tested them
and know them to be genuine remedies for
the diseases they are recommended to cure.

tive Pellets are the best Alternative, tonic, and
cathartic remedies that can be used in chronic

wide popularity Of the FavOrte Prescription,

would have alone secured to its discoverer
