\ farmer of Cynthiana township
came to town one day this week to
make few purchases. Ii happened
that he called at an establishment
where an elevator is in use. In order
to furnish the articles desired it was
necessary to go into an upper story,
and the salesman said to the customer.
''Just get on, and We'll go up" The
startled granger looked around and
said, "On where?" He was given the
desired information, and they started
up. The upward flight was evidently
something new to the farmer, VINO at
tested his appreciation of it by remark
ing, ''This beats all nations, don't it?'.
The salesman smilingly said he rather
thought it did, In the meantime son
of the farmer became impatient and
came into the stOre-roOm below looking
Tor him. The farmer seeing his son,
stepped to TIE hatchway and said,
You can't come up here, son; came
up on the cellar door, and it's up here
yeti"

We are acquainted with good
natured and at the same time astute old
professor, who maintains that il is quite
impossible for man to properly and
correctly hold a parasol over the head
of an attractive young lady. He him
self has wrestled successfully with
Pliny, Plato and Sophocles; he has
written historical works; he under
stands many languages; he is well
posted in philosophy, psychology and
metaphysics ;but when it comes to hold
ing a parasol so that the shade will
slumber on the features of lady, he
freely admits that he is at sea, and that
every university in the land should
add TO lis other attractions a parasOl
chair.
Last summer he took a walk in Cen
trail Park with a young lady. Before
they had iourneyed far she intrusted
her parasOl to him. He held 1t most
;esthetieally for about five minutes and
then it shifted out of position and his
arm began to tremble.
You are not shading me at all. D" she
lisped, ''you are throwing all the
shade on that hO-se over there"
The professor apOIogised, and once
more got the parasol where it would do
the most good. 1t was beginning TO
get little heavier. His arm trembled
like an aspen. He thought he was
carrying keg of nails.
'NOw, then, you goose, she broke
in, ''yOu'll have me all sunburned di
rectly. Hold it up so; see?''
The professor saw. He was longing
for chance to get under tree so he
could get rest, but she would Not go
near one; she had an idea that a god
sun bath was Just what she needed.
els not that a lovely scene?" she
warbled, ''just look at the pretty
stretch OF waving grass dotted with
flowers"

professor, at he worked his other hand
around and deposited his elbow on itsO

out by the roots.

directly to the water. and there will be
music on "a liberal scale, the Seventh
Regiment band, with Grafulla at its
head. having been engaged. The capt.
alists who have put their money in this
pier are looking for large returns. The
letting of the restaurant and other priv
ileges will bring in about 100000 this
season. The 1900 bath rooms will pro-
duce $4,000, and ten cents for every
passenger landed on the pier, will. it is
estimated, pay the owners $4,000. Stock
of the pier has recently sold at auction
in this city for l5l ga; at private sales
it has brought 161 IL, while some of it
could not be bought for $500. The
Coney Island pier is about one thousand
feet long. 1t will be most delightful
resort on hot day, when the breeze is
off the land. It's entire length will be
gayly decorated with flags by day, and
illuminated by hundreds of lamps by
night. Comfortable chairs will be found
at all points, so that the thousands of
Measure seekers can sit coolly and COM
fortably in the breeze. hear the roar of
the surf, mingled with the music by the
brass band. and sip their champagne or
lager, while they burn their mouths with
genuine Coney Island clam chowder.
Uniformed officers will see that the
throng conducts itself in quiet and or
derby manner. You can land from one
of the six steamers that run daily to the
pier, and without setting foot on land,
enjoy all tho pleasures that any reasons
able being could desire. Food, drink,
music, the Autter of gay dresses, tobacco
smoke and surf bathing. To get at the
latter you have only to descend flight
of steps from the pier, and there you
are, like piece of pork, floating in the
brine.
In spite of the hot weather, which il
just settling down upon US, just look a.
the magnitude of the transfers, which
are indicated in measure by the trans
actions at the Clearing House. The ex
changes on Tuesday last were Sl03,

UP GOES GRAIN.-Grain will not be
so high this year, we trust, as to make
its price oppressive to the needs of our
own people. but it will certainly be
sufficient to make producers and carriers
reasonably happy. One hundred mill
ion dollars worth will be wanted in
France, as the Ministry already declares,
because of bad year in that country J;
and one of the explanations given in the
British House of Commons of the dis
tress in England now felt. is that the year
has been very bad one with the farmers.
Throughout Europe there has been all
summer unfavorable weather, and as
this is the real source of the trouble in
England and France, the same trouble,
deficient harvest. though We do not
now actually learn the fact, will perhaps
be found to have been experienced as
widely as the common cause has prevail
ed. Our year, on the contrary, will be
an extremely good one and as the
greatest part of the deficiency in Western
Europe will certainly be made up from
this side, we shall be able to send to
the people beyond the sea all they need
without such drain upon our resources
as to make grain dear for our own peo-
ple.-N. Y. Herald.

The Belfast (Me.) Journal, heretofore

The Belfast (Me.) Journal, heretofore
Democratic, has come out as Republl-
can paper. The editor Gowns up"
handsomely. Among the strong points
that he makes is the following. "The
conductor of this paper has lived to see
the day in which those condemned by the
Democratic party. and by himself, must
be acknowledged to have had higher
courage, more abiding faith and a deep
er conviction in respect to the country's
future than those whom the annual Dem
Ocratic resolutions have querulously as
sailed. We say that the men who have
led in this contest for the restoration of
national prosperity-who have dragged
the country from the slough, and with il
the fortunes of those who fought against
their own salvation-are entitled to the
broad land. Party rancor assails them
nOw-justi6catiOn and the need of praise
await them in the near future"

PAYING ARREARS OF PENSIONS.

An examination of the records of the
Pension Bureau up to the 30th day Of
June of the present year shows that 49,
$50 cases Of arrears of pension, repre-
senting the sum of $7,22O,572,44 had
already been paid, or were ready for
payment on that date. They were dis
tributed among the several agencies as
nearly as practicable in proportion Of
the number Of pensioners upon the re-
spective agency rolls. as follows: Boston,
$50; Canandaigua, GAG Chicago, l 1927
Columbus. 1896; Des Moines, 100;
Concord, 842; Detroit, 665; Indianap.
oils, l,07l ; Knoxville, 46S; Louisville,
33l; Milwaukee. 6S8 New York, l, 900
Philadelphia, 1905; Pittsburg, 692
st. Louis. 1854; Washington, 975; Sal
Francisco, so.
Upwards of 5000 cases were settled
in June. The Commissioner of Pension
expects to be able to pay an equal if no
greater number monthly until al
claims are settled. The number of per
sons who have made claim for arrears
1892, but including the Is, 800 alread
settled, not more than $4,000 Q
$4,000 persons who already are pei
sioners have arrears due them. Man
who apply are not entitled to arrear
The Commissioner expects that nearl
all who are entitled will be paid off
the end of October.
With regard to the order of settl,
ment, he says that the act of Januar
10Th established every pensioners rigl
at the same moment. The date of fliu
the application is not taken into accoul
in fixing the order of settlement. If Il
cases had been taken up for settlemel
in the order of filing the application

FRUITS OF RESUMPTION.
The Springfield Republican says til

The Springfield Republican says that
the clearinghouse exchanges in the prin-
cipal cities of the Union for the first six
months Of the current year give a fair
basis on which to estimate the condition
of business since the federal treasury re-
sumed specie payments. The total vol
umes of these exchanges, as compared
with the same period in the last year, is
fifth larger; taking New York alone,
where three-fourths of the exchanges are
transacted. the increase is fourth larger
and, excluding New York, the rest of
the country shows an average increase
of seven per cent. Next to New York,
with its exchanges amounting to Sl2,-
600, 100000, comes Boston, with ST.
200, 100000, and showing an increase
of eight per cent. Of the business trans
acted in New York in settling the bal
ances between the banks, one-sixth arose
from stock transactions, and it is to the
increase in these that one one third in
the growth of the volume of the business
done is due; but excluding these, the
returns make it clear that the commerce
of the country based on the exchange of
commodities not dealt in on the stock
exchange has increased a full sixth over
last year. Summing up the general
facts presented by the growth of the ex-
changes of the country, it appears that
the country is just entering on an area
of prosperity whose center will be in the
Mississippi valley. East this revival
will be principally shared by cities
which, like Boston and New York, have
more than one line of approach from the
West. T

TWO MEN DROWNED AT ST.
ALRANS.

Friday afternoon about 4 o'clock,
while DR.. John Sheerar, G. Howard Fon-
da and Charles Wilson were fishing off
the east shore of Knights Island, their
boat was capsized by squall and the
men thrown into the water. They man.
aged to detach the mast and right the
boat, and then, clinging to it and en-
deavoring to bail it out, called loudly
for help; but seemingly in vain. The
waves ran high and the men were con-
tinually beaten from the boat, but con-
trived to reach it again and hold on
until, after being in that condition fol
four hours and half, Fonda and Wilson
were obliged to loose their hold, and
sank. The accident was witnessed by
persons on shore, and after a very long
time boat was sent to the rescue, but
arrived to late to save Fonda and Viii
son. DIR. Sheerar chung to the boat I'M
til help arrived, but became unconsciou:
Immediately upon being lifted into thu

head to foot and very much exhaust
ed from having been in the water s.
long a time-four hours and half. Mr.
| Wilson was about thirty wears of age
and leaves a wife and two children
Mr.. Fonda was thirty.6 five years of age
widower, and leaves two children. Bot
men were members of the Ransor

Those exquisitely absurd people who
attribute hard times in this country to
the contraction of the currency or to the
demonetization of silver, do not pretend
to account for hard times in other coun-
tries where no such conditions have ex-
listed, and where what are called "good
times" are scarcely SO favorable for the
great body of the people as are "hard
times" here. But evidence on every
hand indicate that we have seen the
worst, and that nothing but a proper
adjustment of industry is required to
give employment to all. Human wants
increase as rapidly as the power of pro
duction. and the multiplication of ma.
chinery, instead of meaning that hands
will be left idle. means that bodies will
be better fed, clothed and housed, with
growing class to supply the highes
necessities of mankind.-BoSton Herald

WASHINGTON, July 10, 1879'-The
bill removing the duty on quinine does
not have the effect that was anticipated.
A trade circular received here from
Charleston South Carolina, says: French
quinine sold to-day at 1925; now held
at $3.50; German obtainable at $500.
So far from reducing the price of quin-
inc the action of Congress is rather
tending to advance the price, especially
if the American manufacturers have al.
ready discontinued manufacturing.

BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL
NOTES.

The New York Economist says that
s'the live wooden goods commission men
feel very happy now that their goods are
generally sold ahead of production. They
have done better business this season
than any time within the past five years.
At no time within the history of the trade
have orders for goods been placed so
largely as in this season."
Such has been the speculative tendency
in cotton that since last September eight
cen million bales have been sold in New
York alone, which is FIVE times the
actual crop.
One of the best indications of better
times in manufacturing enterprises is the
resumption of dividends by companies
that have previously passed. The And
roscoggin pays the first since January,
1878. Dwight first since July, 1874.
Hill first since July, 1875, with the ex-
ception Of per cent. July. 1877, 2 July,
1878, and now per cent. The Chicopee
increases from to per cent, Manches-
ter 4 to 5, Naumkeag 2 to 8 and Pacific
to per cent. The Etna has decreas.
ed from to 8 per cent.
Messrs. Tucker & Cook will probably
rebuild their recently burned cotton mill
at Conway. Since the loss of their upper
mill, the capacity of the lower one has
been doubled. Last year they produced
100000 pounds of knitting COTTON .=--
The sudden increase of the export Of
| specie few weeks since was of only
temporary duration. Indeed, the ship
ment of specie may be said to have al
most ceased. This is largely due to the
demand of our four per cent. bonds il
foreign markets. The export of bullion
the last week in June was only $S0,0lS
all silver.
The Cincinnati Gazette speaks of tn
"blessed harvest" in that section as bein;
so far as the wheat is concerned, one o
the most abundant ever witnessed. Th
yield is double what was expected thre
months ago.
Men in the lumber business in Calai
report that the business outlook there
more promising than it has been fo
years. They say they have all the order
they can fill, and although the price
still range. low, this increase in the d,
mand for lumber shows that the busine;
is assuming more healthy condition
and all are regaining their confdenc
feeling very hopeful that they are goir
to have a good fall trade. Matters a

Careful estimates of the cotton-crop
for the year, places it at 5, 100000 bales,
or per cent. larger than last year. The
average yearly increase in this crop for
nine years past has been 100000 bales
and as the acreage devoted to the croT
yearly widens and the methods of cult
walton improve, the limit of cotton pro.
ductiOn in this country is still far dis
tant even with the crop 100000 bales
larger than when it was raised by slave
labor.

There are signs that the Nationals
and Democrats of Pennsylvania will at
tempt to unite this fall against the Re-
publicans. The National leaders confess
that their strength is less than it was
last year, and express a willingness to
support Democratic candidate who rep.
resents their views. This is one more
symptom of the rapid decay of the
