Blackwcod's Magazine for March has been
promptly republished by The Leonard Scott Pub
fishing Co., ~ Barclay Street, n. Y.
The first article is a comedy, ''Pieking up the
Pieces" which is not remarkable for humor or
sentiment. "John Caldigaie, Part KILL" fol-
lows, and the story is apparently drawing 8
close.
"a Scots Bishop lisa memoir Of George Gleig,
who was 'the last Jacobite Primus Of Scot
land'i and the first who took 1.-THE oaths to the
house Of Hanover On his Episcopal conservation. !"
The article begins With the story Of the Scotch
Episcopal Church from its disesiabIishment at
the Revolution.
The fourth article on Contemporary Lit
erature'' treats Of novels and their writer's
and gives excellent advice TO beginners in that
walk in life. II also describes the styles and pc
cuIiarities Of some 81 the noted novelists Of the
present day.
A rather statistical article on the principal
changes that occur In tie climate Of Cyprus and
Syria during the year comes under the head Of
instructive rather than pleasant reading. 1t gives
a list OF the disease that are common to the re-
gion, their apparent causes, and the precautions

an accident and narrowly escaped serious in

LATE Trouble or TIE REPrBLf-

cuhye Committee met on Thursday last.
The bitter contest between the "outs"
and the Sins" did not take place, as ex-
pected, the sins" according TO the fine
TieGn and GGzefie, being IN the ascen-
dency, and controlling matters. The
"outs" desired to have new Execu-
tive Committee, elected by the people.
instead of being appointed by the State
Convention, as heretofore, and offered
resolutions to that effect, and calling
conventions for that parpose, and to Sc
Iect delegates tothe State convention, Tor
May 18th. This was voted down, and
The resolutions of Stockelt Matthews
adopted. The latter declared il inex-
pedient to have special conventions to
select The State Executive Committee;
that the committee should call conven-
tons not later than July, to elect dele
gates to the Stale convention and also
select their representatives upon the
Executive Committee. The "ou.s'

Sins" carried the day generally, and

The BUSINESS OUTLooK.-IheN New
York Times publishes several columns
Of dispatches and letters setting forth
the present condition and future pros
poets OF trades, manufactures and other
industries in Massachusetts, Connect
cut, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Kentucky, Ten
nessee and Louisiana. The Times says
they show that The condition OF the
business interests Of the country, as
compared with the outlook year ago
at this time, gives promise Of profta-
bic season and the beginning Of the re-
turn Of national prosperity. There are
few branches Of trade that do not share
in the revival generally reported and
even in these the inactivity is local or
confined 10 a department of The indus
try rather than general and the feeling
IS cheerful rather than depressed. The
hard times swept the weaker concerns
out Of existence. Capital Is seeking
profitable investment. Wholesale deal
erS generally report an increase in the
bulk Of their sales ranging from 10 TO
30 per cent, although at low prices as
compared with the business Of previous
years. The small stocks which retail
dealers have bought during the past year
have become exhausted, and these mer-
chants are buying more literally and
often upon shorter credit or for cash.
Collections are more easily made than
during any year since the panic. The
Southern trade still shows the effect oil
the low prices Of cotton and sugar.
Despite somewhat Improbable crop
Of these Two great staples, planters are
feeling encouraged. The yellow fever
epidemic apparently delayed rather
than injured the trade OF the places
which suffered from its ravages. In the
North and extreme West. immigration,
an active numbering season, and the be-
ginning Of work by farmers and builders
have increased the circulation oil money
aud stimulated trade. Manufacturing
interests in the North and West are re-
ported as generally hourishing. The
pig iron and leather manufactures still
complain somewhat, and tobacco man.
uiactures are only now beginning to ac-
custom themselves 10 a new condition
OF affairs. These are the exceptions.
FIGURING mills in many cases have been
running all Winter. The proprielors of
these are cheered by large export de-
Inand. with an enlarglng foreign market
and improved means OF transportation.
Many factories OF different classes are
resuming work, nearly all are running
ON full time, and with the -four mills are
finding difficulty in supplying orders as
fast as received. In The grain States an
increased acreage has been or is to be
seeded, and The indications are favora-
bic to . crop gratifying in quality and
quantity. Farmers generally are hope
