The moderate increase in value implies n
large increase in quantities imported. in the
merchandise exports from January l to last
Tuesday night, a decrease of about 10 Der
cent appears, which Is not greater than the
decline in prices, 50 that the enormous
exports of last year have thus far
been fairly maintained inquantiiies. The only
point of apprehension in some quarters
is that specie may begin to flow from the
country, and it is true that the exports since
January l, have been $4,000, 500, against
$2.144, 800 at the same date last year. But
examination of the returns shows that the in
crease has been in silver only. Since january
/ only 1884, ,223 in gold has gone abroad
from this port, against $39S.0S6 TO the
same date last year. II need be no
matter of regret to us if foreign markets will
take all our surplus silver. Ill exchange for
bonds upon which We are obliged to pay in
tcIest in gold AS long as our exports of
other products continue as large as they are,
there is'nO reason 10 fear that foreign de-
mand can draw from Us more than the monthly
addition by the mines to our surplus Of silver
leaving the product Of gold to.swel our store
To these bright signs Of positive aud sta
tisticll nature. it may be added that tho re-
ports in trade circles, both here and in other
cities, are altogether favorable. Better pay
ments and larger orders are noted at Chicago,
st. Louis, Cincinnati and other Western cities,
and at Boston and Baltimore as well as here.
The merchants everywhere report that n
Spring trade Of unusual volume has begun,
and they are prepared to meet it with moro
confidence than they have known for many

There is a bit of news in the journals about the
clopemcnt of young lady from Vassar College, and
her subsequent marriage; and il is said that two
other young ladies, her fellow students, who as
sisted her i'm her fight. have for that act Of cruel
kindness been expelled from the institution. Sooner
or later something OF this sort mustha occurred at
Vas,ar but as good many years have gone BY of
perfect freedom from The slightest scandal, so the
college may not have another such annoyance tor
good many years to come Ii Is Clear that young
woman M such eager haste to be married, that the
important matter OF previous education
i'm her mind of no consequence, would prob
ably have been hIudored IN her purpose
by no possible precautions on the part
OK the Faculty. Indeed, she had only to wait for
= vacation to secure ample opportunity of
comprising her purposes If she had been guided
by honorable feelings, she would have waited,
or have taken up her existing connections be-
fore forming q new and Incompatible one. There is
little danger that her example will dcIude other
Vassar students INTO similar ,mpradence. A great
majority of them are working with "A purpose too
serious to suffer them to be betrayed into such an
act of folly. As the colleges for young
men are 50 frequently disturbed by disobedience

concerning the origin of the election law,
with which apologists for the Democratic
House have sought TO eXtcnuate the
course of that body. 1t has been urged
that the election law came into eX-
istcnce as a rider upon an appropriation
bin. and that therefore 1t was highly appro-
pirate to repeal il in that way. Mr.. Davenport
exposes tins falsehOod by giving the whole
truth about the Legislation IN question: taking
from the record the date of the passage OF
the bill in each House, the names OF the
members who spoke and the number
of times each addressed his fcllow-mcmbers.
By this showing 1t is seen that the election
Jaw was an independent statute, framed with
much labor, and debated in both houses by
many able speakers. Its character was nee
cssanly well understood by both parties The
ONLY ground for the charge which was made
and this W. not a ground at all-Was The
fact t.at an amendment was made to the law
in the form Of section Of an appropr lIon bill;
but, as Mr. Davenport points ont, 1t l. under
the original law that all the supervisors and
deputy inarahals had been appointed, all the
arrests made, aud all the money expended.
The Democratic press should roll up It's
sleeves now, and 20 to work on a new roor-

The announcement of the foreign physicians

the intention to accord him amnesty for the

When they Gathered in

next week" Robert Braltl'S
mother said, when he came in
from his work and sat down to
read for a few minutes. "There's
her letter on the window sill if
you'd like to read it."
He took up the letter and read
it through slowly. One passage
he red over twice before he laid
it down.
81 never spent a pleasanter
summer in my life than the one
spent with you. And if Robert
is the same dear old fellow that
he was. then l shall enjoy this
one quite as much, tor you know
Rob and l were the best of friends
and l have seen 10 one since that
l liked half so we'll"
He sat there in the door, with
the letter in his hands, and be
looked away across the meadow
where the grass was crinkling in
the wind like a sea of emerald,
| and thought about that summer
gone by, and the summerevening.
In that vanished one he had
dreamed such sweet and beau
tiful dream, and its memory had
never left him. But he had hid
den it in his own heart, and no
one had ever guessed.what it was.
Now she was coming back, and
| the old dream must he lived over
again, or crushed down and kept
ont OF sight, if it so be that his
| will was powerful enough to do
that. But he doubted his own
strength. There had been times
in the dead summer, when it
seemed as if his heart must speak
out and be heard. But his pride
had kept him silent. Here was
he, a farmer; and she was the
child of wealthy parents, city
born and bred, aud he argued
that he had no right to say any
thing to her of love, because their
stations in life were so different
and so far apart. If she had
been a farmers daughter, or the
child of poor parents, or he had
been rich mans sOn, with cnl-
ture and education equal to her
own, then! But always the ''if''
came up to stare him in the
face, and so he cIushed back the
words he had almost said 81
many times, and Helen Hunt
never discovered his secret, he
felt sure.
| He could not help feeling g
thrill of keen pleasure at know
ing she was coming back but, al
the same time, he was sorry. Il
would only make it harder foI

that her voice would hold tht
