A Cheerful Prospect.

The attempt to examine the prospects of trade in this country has met with encouraging results. Leading business men in New York express the belief that times are steadily improving. The abundant harvests in the West and South are cited as a basis for this be- lief. The revival of manufacturing in- terests in different parts of the country is also mentioned as proof of return ing prosperity. Prices in all departments of trade are firm, with tendency to rise. Aside from these general consid- erations other encouraging signs are found to exist in the present condition of trade. In many cases the volume of business for the past six months shows an increase over that of any core. spending period since 1873; and in every instance the volume of business thus far in the present season is consid- erably in excess of that of last year. h. telligence has been received that more cheerful feeling exists all over the land than at any time since 1873.

 San Francisco was deeply agitated by the shooting of the Rev. Isaac s. Kal- Ioch, the Workingmen's candidate for Mayor, on Saturday morning. Having refused to retire from the canvass, Charles De Young, the senior proprietor of the San Francisco Chronicle, threat- ened to expose his career in Boston and in Kansas. MT. Kalloch retaliated by applying 8 coarse epithet to De Young's mother at 8 meeting on Friday evening. Next morning De Young drove to the door of the Metropolitan Temple, and sending for Mir. Kalloch, shot him in the breast and thigh, inhicting dangerous wounds. The people were disposed to take summary vengeance, but waited for the arrival of Kearney, who at a great meeting held in the Sand Lots persuaded them to refrain from violence. Prepara- tions were made to quen disturbance, which it was expected would follow the shooting.
 Two men were lynched at Trinidad, Col. Last week man named Connack attempted to rape four-year-old girl. Dan Logan made similar attempt on g six -year-old girl. Both men were i'm prisoned, and both were called upon by body of 200 men and taken out to an old corral and hanged.

Secured a Subscriber.

They do things with 8 rush in Paris. Here is story told of newspaper energy which we clip from local paper: There had been fearful murder in France, and the editor of Paris paper sent down an energetic reporter to form theory and, if possible, get ahead of the police in arresting the murderer.
 Three days later the reporter returned and reported progress.
 "Well, and so the three officers armed themselves and set off with me, and about II o'clock we reached the spot where the suspicious looking person had been in the habit of loitering about. Suddenly, as we turned 8 corner, we almost ran against 8 pale and haggard- looking man answering to the descrip- tion had received. sThat's the mani I cried. The wretch started to fly, but was instantly secured, bound and drag ged to the station; the Conanaissaire questioned him, and-let him go. He wasn't the manl"

scattered. There was one Casimiro de la Flor, black and as citizen most un- desirable. This reasonable creature, who was deep in politics, announced his intention of killing all his political opponents. The people, however, did not like him, and so he was flst placed in the stocks, and, as that did not abate his fervor, he was "hacked to pieces at Chepo by those who disagreed with him. A nice place is Colombia for politicians. Running for office or hold ing it afteward is no holiday business there.
 A remarkable freak of lightning is recorded in 8 French newspaper. A farm laborer, running for shelter, was suddenly thrown to the ground, the fork he carried on his shoulder being wrenched from his grasp and carried through the air to distance of fifty or sixty yards. The prongs were bent and twisted with well-nigh mathematical accuracy, into the shape of corkscrews, the steel being burnt, and formed, on it's exterior surface, into small lamina which emitted slightly sulphurous odor. The Iaborer escaped without in- jury.
 Mrs. Mary Gano Burnett, Gin cinnati lady, writing of her school-days and of Lafayette's reception in the Western city, says: "I was one oi those who walked in the Lafayette procession, and we. wore green sum- bonnets instead of calashes. They were all lined with pink crape inside, which gave us very rosy appearance. We also had broad, blue sashes, witt Lafayette on the tips, and the same on the back of our gloves. Our slippers had the same decoration"

In the Way of Advertising.

Nearly every day we receive bills from parties for advertising contracted for in New York. We take pains to collect these bills if they can be collected, but in too many cases we find the parties advertising from some out-of-the-way locality, and the parties wanted not to be found. If man is doing legiti- mate business he will not hesitate to give publishers good references or pay in advance. It is only rascals who mean to beat the publisher that will put on airs when asked to do this, and no ad- vertisement should be inserted for parties who grow angry when asked to do what every business is willing to do at all times. Every publisher upon receiving an order for advertising from house that he does not know to be all right should ask satisfactory reference, or the payment of his bills monthly or quarterly in advance. If one of these demands is not granted leave the ad- ve-tisement out, for the chances are no good to the publisher will come out of it.-Pera and Press.

An "Arab0 With a Heart.

On the curbstone up Brush street the other day sat girl of nine or ten full in the hot sun, but so busy with woe- begone rag baby that she seemed not to mind the heat and the glare. One arm had been torn from poor "baby," it's head fell over to one side, and the saw dust ran from it's dilapidated feet every time it was lifted about. As the child sat there, trying to make " baby" whole again with an old alarming needle and a bit of twine, boy of fourteen halted on the walk and sneeringly said:
 "That dolls bin sunstruck, an all the doctors in town can't save her life."
 The girl made no reply, and after a moment the lad advanced, snatched the doll from her hands and flung it high above his head, laughing loudly at her feeble efforts to prevent him.
 "Is your mother dead ?" asked the girl as her eyes filled with tears and her chin quivered.
 "Not as knows on."
 "But mine is, and she made that dolly for me when her hands trembled so and her eyes had so many tears that I had to cut the cloth for her. That's why baby looks so bad"
 Whewl" whistled the boy below his breath, and walking into the street he picked up the plaything, carefully dust ed it, and as he placed it in her hands he said:
 ''I remember now bout seein' the crape on the door and I'm sorry was rough. This 'ere linin' in my cap will make that baby 8 hull dress, an if you won't say nothin' to nobody of how I acted I'll give it to ye."
 He had it out at one pull, tossed two coat buttons after it and went away saying:
 "When girls mother is dead that beats me, and any time that 'ere dolly is took sick you can count on me to run for the doctor or sit up nights! Good bye, Tabl Detroit Free Presa.
