The business outlook at most OF the great
trade centres OF this country is cheerful and
encouraging. New York papers report an In
creasing movement in various branches OF
business, and at Boston, Philadelphia and
Pittsburg trade is steadily expanding. At
Baltimore the export trade continues ahead
OF 1878. and at San Francisco trade is reported
as increasing, while crops of all kinds are
promising well. In fact, the volume OF the

A large portion OF the laboring population
OF England continue obstinate in the deter
mination not to accept the changes which the
course Of trade for the past few years has
effected in the labor market. Employers see
that in order to meet the competition Of other
manufacturing nations they must improve
the quality OF their fabrics while diminishing
the price; but the working people will not
consent that the process necessary to bring
about this reduction of cost shall affect their
wages Hence the general prevalence OF
strikes and the violent efforts Of the strikers
in some places to prevent the filling OF their
vacant places by other hands. These demon
STATIONS became so threatening among the
operatives at Preston last week that the gov
eminent was compelled to send strong
military force to maintain order.

MYTHOLOGY.
The Grecian Gods.

The ancient Greeks believed their gods
to be of the same shape and form as them
selves, bat of far greater beauty, strength.
and dignity. A fluid named ichor" sup
Piled the place of blood in the veins of the
gods; their meat was ambrosia," their
drink nectar" and they undoubtedly
dressed their hair with Carboline. which
stimulates the glands Of the scalp into
healthy action, prevents the hair from fall
ing out, and promotes its luxuriant growth,
rendering it soft, youthful, and glossy. 1t

Secretary OF War McCrarv says that if
the army appropriation is not voted. he
cannot see how the Governments can ask
the solder to serve without nav. He
holds that If q soldier asks TO be discharged
or au officer resigns. because of the fact
that the government has made no provis
Ion TO support and pav HIM. he cannot
ses ans other way for HIM to do but allow
him to go. This is not only common
sense. but it is he exercise of natural
right. The only condition on which goy>
erDment can exact service is that it per-
forms ITS part of the contract. ard 1t is,
too. the only ground on which it can de-
mand allegiance by its first pro tec,inr So
ciety. Tho attitude of the Democrats

government and the structure of society
