The State of Trade,

The Clearing House exchanges for the
third week of September are altogether
encouraging as to the condition of bust
ness, except on the Pacific Coast. San
Francisco is the only city of Importance
at which transactions are materially
smaller than at this time last year, and
the causes of the decrease are of local
character. The total, which last year
was 100000, is now $714,C10,CC1.
The Public thinks there is nothing dis
cOuraging in these comparisons. They
tell of very great increase I'M the vol
ume of business since September, and
yet it will be remembered that crops of
unprecedented magnitude were then
coming forward, and the demand from
abroad was already enormous. The
transactions of New York city, nOtwith-
standing the remarkable decline at San
Francisco, are larger Than they have been
at any time this year, except in the first
weeks of March, April, May, and June,
monthly disbursements and settlements
usually make exchanges of the first
week larger than those of other weeks
in the month. The fall business has
been entirely satisfactory thus far, and
1t is especially encouraging to notice
the great vigOr of trade in those cities
whish deprnd largely upon the iron in
terest and other branches of manufac-
ture, 5rl '-l-i- .lf -..i'. leg e. .f..'..

Landmarks of the U. 5. survey,


At the last session of the Michigan
legislature an act was passed authOriZ-
ing boards of supervisors to have perma
nent monuments planted at the corners
OF the United States survey, at the eX-
pense Of the county. A record of this
work is to be kept in the Office of the
register of deeds. A writer in the Kali
amazOO Gazette urges the Importance of
immediate attention TO this subject by
persons who are interested in having
the boundaries of their farms made per-
manent. and says: 1T cannot be ex-
pected that the supervisors will move in
the matter unless the people of the coun-
ty indicate in some way desire to have
it done. For this reason it would be
well for all persons who are interested
in having any of these corners legally
perpetuated, to hand in your petition to
that effect, right away, to your supervi-
sOr, so that the board may act on them
at its meeting the second week in OctO-
Der. The petitioners should state exact
ly what corners they wish to have per-
petuated, udless ~. they wish to
have all of them in the township or the
county cared for in which case they
should say so. 1t would be very much
cheaper to have whole townships gone
over at once, as it would not take half
the time which would be required to do
the work in odd jobs at irregular inter
walls. The writer also gives the follow
ing fact to show the importance of at
tentiOn to this matter: ''The loss of the
east quater post of section 90 in the vii
lage of Kalamazoo was the direct cause
of lawsuit which, as near as 1 can
learn. cost the county of Kalamazoo SIS,
The village of Kalamazoo $4C0, Mr.. 7. P.
Sheldon $780, and the state the expense
of trial in the supreme court, what
ever they may have been. An hours la
Dor and the outlay OF 81 i'm money at the
proper time would have preserved that
corner. If it had been preserved the
lawsuit would never have taken place.
The money spent on the lawsuit would
have fixed suitable monuments to at
least one quarGer of all the well known
government corners in Kalamazoo cOun-
ty. The suit came off eight or nine
years ago, ana that corner is not proper
ly marked yet" ,EL5tt -

THE New York Tribune has published

The New York Tribune has published
a series of articles on southern debts
and the regulating states. Itfinds that
the entire loss to creditors by the repu-
diation of Southern States is not less
that $272, Oco,Cc0, and the loss by munich
pal reputation will swell the aggregate
to $3O0,OOO,C0O. The Tribune submits
that this record is not of a nature to
make the country confident of the abili-
y Oflthe Solid South to rule. It would,
indeed, be surprising if the most pros
porous part Of the country should give
control Of the government TO the least
prOsperOus-if want of success in the
management of State affairs should
makea title to the management of
national affairs. Yet it is fact that
the southern people are more anxious
than those at the North to get into poll
tics, precisely because they have fewer
Inducements to stay at home. In a
country where labor is thought to be de-
grading, the returns of labor are
naturally small, and the pecuniaryl re-
wards Of politics ere in proportion more
inviting than the profits of honest toll.

How old do you sup pose I am You ought to know I have not seen so many years as the lowest number you name. Well, then, you have missed great experience, and I advise you, when you have been absent as long as thai. to revisit your old home. You will find, first of all, that you are com paratlve stranger in your own land. That most of your friends, relatives and ac- quaintances no longer greet you in the sweet valleys and breezy hills of your native home. You seek their faces in vain; they have gone to the silent land, and you trace their names on the head stones in the cemeteries of the lonely vale by the side of the sweetly flowing river, the glorious pride of your early days; you wander up and down the town seeking traces and "reminiscences of all you loved and have lost in the dim vista of the past Here is the shady lane whore, moro than fifty years ago, you played with little friends. some Of whom
