A TRYING SITUATION.

MANY years back, young man
lVI came out of little house at the
eastern end of a town by the sea- There
was plenty of life and gaiety at the other
end of the town, which was livened hy
one or two barracks, fort and castle.
But the eastern end was very poor, and
would have been quite lonesome but for
the fishermen and their boats. The house
from which the young man came was
beyond even this homely hustle, and was
little more than wooden hut tarred to
defend it from wind and weather.
But the eyoung man who came out was
In the full dress of a military officer,
though that was screened from q first
view by the long gray cloak that the
wild March wind made SO necessary.
He was young, and his face was fine
ly cut, and would have been pleasant
but for look of stern and painful sor-
row,not unmixed with bitterness, which
seemed strangely incongruous with his
years and his dress.
He walked on quite through the town.
Whenever the houses broke apart one
caught the glimpse of wild, fiat coun-
try, dotted here and there with weird
trees in Indian file; and the youth look
ed wistfully towards these desert fields,
as if he would fain have struck away
across them instead of going on, as he
did toward the grim old fort.
Yet there, it was clear, festivity was
going forward; and friendly voices
greeted him as he passed the gray old
portal. And then, over his sad, stern
face he dropped mask of gaiety, and
though he relapsed into silence at times,
he was as polite and conversable as the
best of them.
There was preparation for dinner
party in the fine, stiff, old hall, with its
rows of military portraits, and lis dingy,
blood.stained banners. The castle, the
barracks, and the fort itself, had eagerly
furnished guests to welcome the visitor
of the day, a grand old general recent
ly returned from honorable victories in
the south of Europe.
After dinner, when ceremony was

The Business Outlook.

The month OF May has opened with
the most flattering prospects, far more
so than the most sanguine anticipated
three months since.
A mornings visit to the principal
commission houses and jobbers has
confirmed all that the 7rarelier has
heretofore expressed as to the hopeful
future. The head of one of the Oldest
commission houses in Boston remarked
that the simple fact of the banks and
bankers taking the large number of
government bonds on such favorable
terms was in itself an indication of per-
fectly restored confidence, and the i'm.
mediate result of this was the rise of
stocks, and the unlocking of large
amounts of capital and throwing it out
for investment, and the increased
movement in stocks has given conf
dence in other directions.
Many of the wooden manufacturers
have contracted for large amounts of
goods months ahead, and such mills as
the Middlesex, Washington and Man
chester are making full up to their Ca
pacity.
The managing partner of the largest
cotton goods commission house re-
marked that at no time since 1870 have
the jobbers expressed so much conf.
dence in the future, and from a theo.
retical and practical point of view, he
felt convinced that the present year
would see business placed substantially
where it was before the war. The large
jobbers like Jordan, Marsh & Co., who
have heretofore kept their stocks down,
are now stocking largely.
Passing from the dry goods trade and
coming to the boot and shoe trade, the
great specially of Boston. we find an
equal degree of expectation and conf.
dence. Matters have here decidedly
touched bottom, and passing along to
an upward look. A partner Of one of
the leading manufacturing houses re-
marked that he expected during the
present month large number of buy.
ers here from the West and Southwest
than have been here before for several
years. The purchasers at the west
that have attained great proportions
during preceding years, are now visi-
bly, falling off, and the large buyers
are manifesting their preference for
buying direct at Boston.
This will have an improving effect
upon the market generally. The trade
anticipates no more failures this season.
The other leading branches of bust
ness are always more or less governed
by the rise or fall in the dry goods
and boot and shoe trades, and the same
impetus that is being given to those two
is permeating all the others.

An Oriental Novelette,.

Under the reign of the first Calipl
there was q merchant in Bagdad
equally rich and avaricious. One day
he had bargained with porter to carry
home for him large basket of porcelain
vases for ten paras. AS they went
along he said to the man:
my friend you are young and am
old you can still earn plenty strike
off, l beseech you, q para from your
hire"
Willingly" replied the porter.
This request was repeated again and
again, until, when they reached the
the house, the porter had only single
para to receive. As they went up
stairs the merchant said:
eff you will resign thellast para,
will give you three pieces of advice
IS Be it So" said the porter.
"Well, then," said the merchant,
eff any one tells you it is better to be
fasting than feasting, do not believe
him. If any one tells you it is better to
be poor than rich, do not believe him.
If any one tells you it is better to walk
than to ride, do not believe him."
"My dear sir, replied the astonished
porter, :" I knew these things before
but if you will listen to me, will give
You such advice as you never heard.
The merchant turned round, and the
porter. throwing the basket down the
staicase, said to him:
."If any one tells you that one OF
your vases is unbroken, do not believe
him."
Before the merchant could reply the
porter made his escape, thus punish
ing his employer for his misery greedi-

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul COM

running through to-day. Trains out yester-
day transferred passengers at Red Wing to
steamboats, and the cars were again resumed
at Lake City. Superintendent Prior has
been at work in person repairing the break
and with his accustomed energy has made
rapid progress. Only one train arrived yes
terday from the East by this route, passen-
gers being transported by boat from Lake
City to Red Wing. To-day trains will ar

without detention.
The st. Paul & Sioux City company have
reduced their trouble to one spot, which is
near Hamilton Station, about sixteen miles
from st. Paul. The first train over this
road in two days arrived about o'clock last
night, having taken the Shakopee & Dakota
track at Shakopee for Hastings, and come
up the river road from that point. A pas
senger train was sent out by that route at
$3.50 p. NJ. yesterday. They hope to have
the road in running shape day. but if it is
not train will leave on time this afternoon

This illustration shows that the leading
Partisan authority in fashion is modern
fate, and with her cleaning scissors sewers
destinies and makes her dresses proof
against every extraneous interference with
the proper effect, no matter what comes in
the way. It must be serious assumption
this matter of ''inspiration," for it deals
with more than mere bodies and bills when
it selects or dismissess human contrasts, ia
vorable or otherwise, to its full prestige.
Perhaps, after all, s'inspiration" will not be
an available article for American dress
makers to introduce in their work. They
may find the old plodding method the best,
of trying to suit all customers as they
come, without the electic sel6shness of
accepting only advantageous models for
their work. They must be content to be
classed as the novices of the business.
Mile. Caroline and Nine. Rodriguez and
others of the gilded order are "inspired" ar
lists, with fame and fortune as their reward,
while the quotations of their opinions have
as much effect on the mercurial world of
Partisan fashion as any Rothschild or Barring
on pecuniary matters. 4

will be remodeled geographically, on the basis
of the GLOBE. 1t is understood that it will
support Palmer for the Democratic nomi-
nation for the Presidency as its first choice
and Tilden as its second. It is evidently
Tilden's programme to secure the Illinois

only way to prevent a David Davis boom. If
Davis should have his own State delegation
he would soon become formidable, while

PECULIAR INSPIRATION,

There is one feature which American dress
making artists have yet to introduce into
their work by regular announcement, and
that is "inspiration.' AS matter of course
this subtle Infusion of the spirit into skirts,
corsages and trimmings is a Partisan dis
covery, and it proves that dressmakers are
born like poe and not made.
1t will be easily seen that this process saves
world of trouble and vexation to long
suffering class which has heretofore borne
the caprices and tyranny of its patrons-that
is, primarily where their gift of "inspira-
ton" becomes the potent trade mark, which
must be rather limited when one reflects how
few the distinguished names in this field of
inspiration.
In Paris Nine. Rodriguez deals in inspi-
ration to such an extent that she grades her
patronage by it. Her ordeal to test the
amount of inspiration each applicant for
comstume can superinduce is equal to an
Initiation. She turns the person round and
round, makes her walk, sit, kneel, lie down,
and raise her arms in the air to be convinced
that she is we'll made. After the searching
ordeal the oracular dress maker dismisses
the would be customer with "You do not in
spire mo; you must 60 elsewhere = or,
"You are pretty, but you are not my style.
/ could do nothing for YOU" Madame
Rodriguez attempts nothing that will not be
pronounced success and rebound to her
fame, so she is spared the modification Of
over seeing failure. She does not worry
over the endless variety of human forms
the lean, the fat, the angular
or the plump, but she makes
her selection with selfish dis
elimination where her skill will tell, with
out thought of the added glory to be
reaped in making an ungainly figure mirac-
ously stylish in one of her rare costumes.
Her inspiration not only will not extend to
such ventures, but her foresight reaches to
every imaginable condition for frightening
or lessening the effect of her matchless
handiwork.
For instance Nine. Rodriguez is reported
as saying to young lady, "Mademoiselle,
is it true that you are to marry Mons. Dr.
Certainly" was the reply, "Then you must

HE report that the Pope has determined
to appoint cardinal from the Western States
of this country meets with discredit on this
side of the Atlantic. The only persons upon
whom the honor could DO conferred are
Archbishops Purcell, of Cincinnati, and
Henni, of Milwaukee. Both are too old to
warrant the conferrlng of such degree upon
them, and the financial complications of the
first named prelate preclude tho possibility
of his becoming cardinal.
