The Wave of Prosperity.


It takes a long time to convince our
people who have been for years strug-
Cling against adversely in every shape
and form, and whose fairest and most
reasonable hopes have been doomed to
bitter disappointment, that the tide has
turned, that the commercial storm is
over, and that, from clear and cloud
less sky, the sun of prosperity is shining.
The doubts induced by hopes long de-
ferred cause them, naturally, to re-
gard the most cheering indica-
tions as deceitful, and though wishing to
believe they fear lest they may again be
called upon to experience disappointment
While this is natural, yet the time has
now come when the indications are Q
plain, so overwhelmingly convincing that
no intelligent and reasoning man can
longer permit himself to doubt that the
country has emerged from its condition
of stagnation, and is now entering upon a
career of commercial prosperity which
will eclipse in it's grandeur all previous
-epochs in our history.

silk and the south.
New Orleans Times

It may not be generally known that in
the days of French domination in Louis
lana the National Government sent cut
to the colony complete outfit for grow
ing and manufacturing silk, with experts
to cary on the business. That the pro-
ject failed in thinly ,peopled colony can
have no influence in deciding the FEAST
bility of its profitable accomplishment in
a rich and popalous State. The produc-
tion and manufacture of silk has
already attained large proportions
in the United States, and those
who are not familiar with the sub
ject will be surprised to learn that there
are in the country, or were, according to
returns made in 1874, one hundred and
eighty silk factories. giving employment
to near one hundred and fifty thousand
people; and, in addition to their fabrics
which were consumed in the country,
silk goods to the amount of near twenty
five millions of dollars were imported.
These silk factories were chiefly in the
Middle States and New England, with a
few in the West, but not one of them is
set down for the Southern States. From
sheer neglect rather than any other rea-
son great industry to which our section
is eminently adapted is lost in the South.

Of the late DR.. J. P. Thompson, Pro
fessor Austin Phelps says in The Congre-
gationalist that he has never known his
equal for hard work at the age of forty
five, without the obvious signs of it in
the countenance, or the WEAKNESS and
reticence and irritability produced by it.
After his five hours of incessant compo-
sition at his study y-table-for his habit
was to write as rapidly as a nimble pen
could mOve-he came home without a
line of fatigue in his face, or the pause
