punished. The first was German, who was
not severely dashed, and he walked away smiling.
The second was a miserable tramp, who bore
the ordeal without tinching. Two negroes, who
came next. wrtthed and muttered under the pain
of severe blows The fifth was boy Of Is. He
was so frightened that 1t was necessary to force
him to the post and at the first stroke he deS-
perately freed himself by pulling his hands out

him, but he got loose again before the prescribed
twenty blows were completed, and pathetically
begged the sheriff not to strike so hard.

Trade Prospects.

On another page we give number OF re-
ports and statistics that show the present
season to be very prosperous one, not
only agriculturally, but in every depart
ment of business. When to I'LL their
orders New York merchants are compelled
to work night and day. as many of them
have been doing for some weeks, it is un-
necessary to call attention TO the general
improvement in business; yet most Of
the trade alluded to has been with
the West and Southwest. Immediately
following this, and just now be-
ginning comes the influx Of merchants
from all the Northern and Western States,
and the rapidity with which these are ar
irving, their numbers and the freedom with
which they are buying promise hand
somely for the fall and winter. Most of the
improvement may be traced back to the
success with which the leading crops were
reared and harvested but various manu-
featuring interests also are contribut-
ing to the general activity, and the
American passion for spending money
as soon as it is in hand is being felt to the
advantage OF all the minor departments Of
trade. The general outlook offers no un-
pleasant feature, and the only possible bar
to perfect satisfaction at the prospect is
found in the fear that the old American
fault of being too sanguine and hopeful
of discounting the future on the basis of
the present-may again be INDUCED in
despite the severe lessons of the past six
years. II prompt payment becomes the in
variable rule Of seller and buyer the coun-
try has nothing whatever 10 fear.
