Trade and Business.

There have been freight engagements made
so far this year for 200, 900 tons iron ore from
the Spanish and African mines in the Medi
terranean for the United States. This is
equal to 400 cargoes of 500 tons sailing YES
sells, or 200 cargoes of 200 tons steamers,
for which both steamers and sailing vessels
have been freely chartered.
A large firm of agents in Lancashire, Eng,

of English manufacturers that they can buy

How Two Foolish Girls Were
SoVya1

We have heard lately of two young girls,
Of good character, but thoughtlessly foolish,
who came into town one afternoon, from
their suburban home. On the street they
were accosted by two young men. Instead OF
repelling them, they entered into converse
ton with them, and soon accepted their invi-
tation to take tea at a prominent restaurant
After passing some time here the young men
invited the girls to go TO the theatre with them,
and this invitation, too, was accepted. The
Young men went out, promising to buy the
theatre tickets and return at once.
The girls waited until weary, and then
started to go home. But the proprietor de-
manded payment for the suppers which he
had furnished. They replied that the young
that the young men had told him that they
had left the money with the girls, and as the
latter evidently had none, he required them
to go down into his kitchen and wash dishes
during the whole evening. This was bitter
thing to do, but if the story be true, as we
fear, it served them rightly. OF course the
Young men were wretched sneaks, for whom
a whipping would be too good. But such in
delicacy as that of those girls deserves to be
punished as theirs was. We suspect that
there is great deal of this "picking up ac-
quantances" in our streets, and 1t leads
swiftly to the ruin Of young men and women
alike. Parents cannot be too careful how
they train and watch over their boys and
girls. Boston Transcript

Choosing an Indian Bride.

The recently elected Governor of the In
dams at Pete Dana's Poiut. near Calais, is or
was, unmarried. The Indians allow no such
conditions to last, so steps were taken to mar
~ him. The process is unique. Two of the
tribe were constituted committee to get him
a Wife He braided seven straws together
and gave to the committee. They went to
Pleasant Point and assembled all the squaws
in their hall in circle. One Of the commit
tee marched around the circle shaking horn
full OF shot while the other carried the braid
ed straw and sung q solemn song or chant.
After several times marching around, the
braid was presented to the maiden selected
for the Governors wife. The first choice re-
fused to marry by throwing the braid on the
floor. So the ceremony was repeated and
second choice made, and this time the fair
one was willing and retained the braid, then
the committee sent for the Governor to meet
the destined bride in Calais. He came on
the train.

India is extraordinary indeed. Snakes alone
in 1877 killed nearly 1900 persons, and IT,

Burdette, of the Burlington Ga } Hawk

directly on the street, and there is single
window on either side of it," OF Arnold
he says:
'.He lived century too early. this man of
hateful and accursed memory. Had he lived
a hundred years later he might have commit
ted treason most hateful, he might have fore
sworn himself in national councils, and draw n
his sword against the country that taught him
to use it; he might have plundered the ma
tional treasury, robbed the government of
arsenals and stolen its navy yards, fought for
years against the flag that waved over his
birth, and them A tainted name? A trait
or's doom? An accursed memory? A haunted
desolate life? Oh no, Lord love you, simple
minded patriot, nothing of the sort. He
would come back and be elected to Congress,
he would be a Senator, he would run the
government, he would talk more loudly about
the constitution he attempted to destroy than
the men who saved it; he would write books
and defy public opinion, and the only thing
about him to show that God hated him would
be his blighted eye. If Benedict Arnold ever
looks around this planet and sees how Jeffer-
son Davis is getting along, it must make him
feel that he is a martyr and deeply-injured
man."

The democratic pyramid is as follows

The leaders and organs Of the green
hackers are generally whistling the best
they can to keep their courage up, but il
won't do, and the rank and file know it in
spite of efforts to blind them. Occasion
ally the truth is heard from one of the or
gans. For instance, Alexander Troup's
paper, the New Haven Union says:
Our faith in the justice of the greenback
cause is as strong to-day as ever, but We are
satisfied the people are not ready to battle
for their material interests. They have re-
pudiated their champions in Ohio and Iowa.
In the former the greenback cause has gone
back amazingly since 1873, when Allen was
barely defeated. In Iowa the same is true.
The greenbackers have lost greatly, Gear be-
ing elected by majority over all. The re.
publicans, flushed with their success, will
now make desperate attempt to gain full
and comelete control of the government next
year, and If they win, popular rule will be-
come q farce. Citizens must now array
themselves either for or against Grant and
practical monarchy.

One of the most conspicuous signs Of
the revival of business is the extension of
railroad construction. All over the coun-
try new enterprises are starting, and the
demand for rails, rising above the home
supply, has given an impulse to foreign
production. The opening of new commu-
nicatons. and pushing out the facilities Of
transportation into the agricultural regions
of the West, will develop the material re-
sources of the country, and contribute to
its yearly revenues. As in former times,
these may be carried to an extent that will
bring disaster upon the projectors, how
ever great may be their advantages to the
points which they connect and the coun-
try they pass. They can be cheaply bull,
now, Notwithstanding the advance in the
price Of iron; and once built, however
unfortunately they may turn cut for those
who invest their money, other than for the
benefit Of their property and trade, they
will be Of permanent good to the country
1t is not, perhaps, too soon to lift the
voice Of warning against wild speculation
in railroad construction; against building
roads to create business rather than to ac-
commodate and to increase business al
ready existing.
