Country Social Life.

Country folks are in general SO fully
occupied with affairs that they have no
time to discover how lonesome they
really are. So far as this is concerned
we think il misfortune. We are
too busy. We work too hard. We take
few or no holidays. We read and think
too little, and do not spend sutiieien,
time in social culture. There is no
reason why those who pillow the soil or
"whose talk is of bullocks" should no:
experience the refnements which are
the results OF formal social life.
In business, at bargains, in pursuit Of
dollars, no man is seen at his best. He
is thorpey, spiny, with his back up as
porcupine might be at his business.
Let one doh' his working clothes and
enter room full of his neighbors-
men, women, young men and maidens
and he is man of another kind
He naturally falls into the ways Of an
intuitive kindness which is really the
truest politeness; he doing to his COM
panion what he would that he should
do to him. He lets himself out to
please, and, after an evening spent Iii
social converse, he retires with many
rough corners as asaerities toned down
For few days the influence remains.
Il would be permanent if il could be
reinforced now and then, and the good
results would be most agreeable and
useful

RISE IN THE PRICE OF SILK.
A Great Advance in the Price of Raw
Material-.- The Manufactured Goods
Going Up Raudly.
New York Tribune, I'D.

New York Tribune, I'D.
There is considerable excitement
among the manufacturers of silk goods
over the advance in the price of raw
silk. Three years ago this month the
raw material was lower than it had
been for the previous twenty years.
Owing to the short crops there was a
sudden advance in the market, and the
price went up from "a to so per round.
Since that time there has been grad
ual decline in price, and less than u
month ago fine raw silk could be pur-
chased at from 1915 to $500 per
pound. The sudden rise in the price is
owing to the almost utter failure of the
Italian crop. The French crop is also
very poor. This failure of the Euro
pean crops was caused by the cold
spring. The Italian and French silk is
the best raised in the world, and it is
used in the manufacture of the first
grades of dress goods and ribbons. 1t
has greater brilliancy and is much
stronger than the silk of China or ia
pan.
The crop of China this year is n
heavy one, but that of Japan is not very
good. The supply Of Italian and
French silk being very short, the price
of all grades of raw material is rapidly
advancing in the silk market, both Of
Europe and this country. The French
and Italian silk has advanced from Sc
to 1915 per pound. Japan silk, which
is next in value, has advanced from S.
to 81 per pound, and China silk, which
sold only short time ago at 1878, sold
last Monday ut $3.50 per pound. The
new crops in China and Japan are be-
ing sold at very high prices, and the
silk brokers are united i'll the opinion
that there will be further advance in
prices, and that they willnot be lowered
until the crops of next year are
brought on the market. The man
ufacturers and brokers holding
large stocks of Italian and French raw
silk have made immense sums of
money by the rise in the market. Dur
ing the last fortnight the price Of silk
goods of all kinds has constantly aid
yanced. The various kinds of silk lib.
bons, silk handkerchief and "broad"
or dress goods, have risen about 10 per
cent. The rise in the price of sew
ing silks and machine twists averages
from ~ to Is per cent. The thrown"
silks, which are known as trans" and
organizers" have been raised in price
Is to 20 per cent. The cost of silk
braids and of other goods manufactured
Of silk has also been largely increased.
This season the demand for silk-dress
goods and all kinds of silk ribbons has
been very heavy, and the mills at Pat
terson, Union Hill, and in this city are
running on full time. Manufacturers
think that the sudden rise in the cost o.
the raw material will not lessen the de-
mand for tho fabrics.

A Hundred Years Hence.

Man for the future can but rea-
son from the past. In II hundred years
he has seen or heard of many changes
on the wondrous globe he calls his
home. Great souls have come and
gone; great souls will come again. In
tellect has quickened the means of his
loeomotion, lessenod the Atlantic
course Of toll; intellect will do SO still.
So he reasons, and SO his logic rests
upon the past. One hundred years ago
the world travelled IN numbering coaches
and sailed to sea iii slow-going ships
To-day the irorl-horse goes tearing
through the land, ana steamers bridge
the widest oceans. Months have
changed to weeks and hours. One
hundred hears ago the traveller between
New York and the Illinois wilds would
have made up his mind to II three
weeks trip in numbering wagons, sleepy
ferries and uncomfortable stages. In
this year Of grace 1879 two days and
one night, passed in ease and comfort
see him safely ut his journeys end
When his majesty's troops sailed from
the shores of England to give these col
onists lesson, they were fortunate If
three weeks tossing on the broad At
hutic brought them within sight Of
Newfoundland To-day an eight-day
passage is matter of course. Who
knows what is to heg Already whisper
ings fill the air with wondrous motors.
The busy brains Of men work. "Across
the ocean in fifty hours!"-so reads the
latest tale--a life-boat raised by gas and
sailed by steam.
A hundred years hencel Who that is
born to-day will live to see it, And
what, ii he does, shall he sea- daily
balloon to London and All afternoon
trip to Florida? Will the docks, now
echolng to the hiss of steam,be filled by
strange, unearthly shapes, with wings
and fans, and gaudy bags ofgas? Will
freight trains, drawn by noiseless power,
pass swiftly beneath the sea, and
parcels dart like lightning around the
world? Stranger things than these
have happened within hundred years,
and some may live TO see still greater
wonders.

MUNICIPAL DEBTS.

Some Condensed Results of the Exhaust
i've Inquiry Made by the Princeton Re.
yiew...AlarmIng Increase OF Indebt-
edness In Every City and State In the
Union.
The forthcoming number of the
Princeton Reuie,o, the advance sheets of
which your correspondent has just OBJ
tanned, opens with an extensive lnvesti-
cation into the local indebtedness OF the
United States. The work has been per-
Termed by Robert p. Porter, of Cnica-
90. and consists Of two separate lines OF
inquiry, one into the municipal debt OF
1870 cities, selected geographically to
represent the whole country. and the
other into the total aggregate county,
town and city indebtedness the entire
country. The first investigation he
brings down to 1876; the second to the
close of 1873. Below are the figures
OF the first investigation:

The aggregate municipal indebtedness
of these cities. rs will be seen, was in
1875 over ten per cent. Of the assessed
value OF property, whereas in 1866 it
was only six per cent. showing an III
crease Of indebtedness Of four per cent.
of the valuation of property. IL will
be seen that the debt increased upward
OF $420000,000 in the decimal period
ending 1876, n yearly increase of $i2,-
100000 The percentage Of increase is
about AZ follows Debt. two hundred
per cent. taxation, eighty three per
cent; valuation, seventyiive per cent,
and population only thirly-three per
cent. In 1870, the census reports give
the total indebtneas of the United States
~ follows: State debts, 1852, 1866, sos;
county debts, $lS7, 655, $40; town and
city debts, 1852, 500. sos; total, $SG8,076,-
1853. Leaving ont the state debts, there
remains $5l5, $4,000, which was then
put down as the total county, town and
city debt of the country.
Mr.. Porter's Investigations shows con
clusiyely that the municipal debt alone,
to say nothing about town and county
debt, OF 1870 cities, representing pop
ulaton Of only 8,576,249, exceeded in
1876, by 1928, 568 ,G03, the county, town,
and city indebtedness Of the entire
country in 1870; or still moro appalling,
that in six years the indebtedness Of
these cities had exceeded by 1916, 1874, :
1873 the bonded and floating indebted
ness of MI the towns and cities in the
United States.
So much for the first investigation,
now for tho second. Mr.. Porter has
succeeded in obtaining complete re-
port of the existing local indebtedness
OF eleven states Of the union, which ho
finds to be M follows at the close OF
1873.

which takes away all danger from the

Alarm In the Mormon Tabernacle.
salt Lake tutahl Herald, June II,

What came near causing n panic took
place III tho Tabernacle on Sunday
afternoon. Toward the close Of the SER
vices and during tho heavy blast Of
wind, rushing sound was heard iii the
Tabernacle. and Immediately after
wards II crash from above, and the glass
from the skylight commenced falling.
The wreaths and hanging baskets also
swung furiously for u moment, and the
congregation, not knowing what was
the matter, came near being panic
stricken, and great many rushed for
the doors. Fortunately, the skylight
was over the aisle, and the glass fell
mainly ut that point. One or two per-
some were struck with glass, but the
most serious thing that happened was
that piece Of glass ran about one inch
and half into the shoulder of Miss
Larson, and though not serious i'll
ilicted n painful wound. Some Of the
ladies tainted, and others were on a
point of making grand rush when
they were commanded to stop. The in.
junction was obeyei, and the services
proceeded as usual until they were con.
cludod. The cause Of the noise and
falling glass was that the wind got under
the zinc roofing, ripped i up, and blew
il on the skylights, breaking them.
