There is nothing new to report in the con-
dition of Our market to-day. Flour, wheat
and corn are firm at prices quoted. Cotton
| is languishing and not much doing. Every
| thin g, apparently, is waiting for the opening
| of the "fall trade"
| There is in the monetery and mercantile
situation such elements of encouragement for
business men in general that even the all
absorbing national political canvass does not
seem to have the depressing effect upon trade
usual in the year for presidential elections.
There is no longer any doubt about the sue
cess CT specie resum ption, the coin in the
country has increased during the year ending
June 80, 1850, 1t is estlm ated, nearly S143,-
900, 900, of which about $l03, 000, 900 was
gold; and since the first of this month the
influx of gold has amounted to about So
900, 900, and it is probable that our foreign
commerce will continue so muck our favor
as to keep up this current of gold for several
months, so that the supply of real money is
steadily swelling and the national banks are
at liberty to increase their circulation as
much as the wants of trade demand. The
large increased railroad earnings Fl ON the
first of January to July 81 have already been
made public; and the first two weeks in Au-
gust show a sinilar increase, although the
comparison is with q time last year when
business had greatly proved. This shows
that we are travelling moro and buying and
selling more than last year. The wheat crop
Is now seCureu, and doubtless exceeds any
thing on record. Crops of other cereals NAV
not exceed or even equal the yield of last
year, and yet they will be large enough for
the wants of the country and foI export. The
cotton crop Is 30 far advanced toward ma
tuaity that it is next to impossible for any
thing IN the course of nature to prevent
much larger yield than lest year. The rice
crop of the south is a good one, and the
promise is good for q large increase in cane
sugar. Tobacco will be short of an average
yield in some sections, but probably the
value of the crop will be enhanced enough
to make it equal to last year. This condition
of the country makes il absolutely certain
that the demand for goods will be large, aud
as we are manufacturing greater variety
and better quality of nearly all articles
than ever before, the demand will be sup
piled without drawing as heavily, relatively,
upon foreign countries as in former years. so
that while our imports may increase they
will probably not exceed the value of our
exports, and the balance of trade will rem ain
in our favor.

Teaching Boys to Write.

We believe that the whole Of this
method is a mistake, that there is no
single system of mecanigue for writing,
End a child belonging to educated
classes would he taught much better and
more easily if. after being once enabled
to make and recognize written letters, 1T
were left alone, and praised or chidden,
not for it's method but for the result.
Let the boy hold the pen as he likes
and make his strokes as he will-hurrv,
of course, being discouraged-but insist
strenuously and persistently that his
copy shall be legible, shall be clean, and
shall approach the good copy set before
him, namely, a well written letter, not a
rubbish text on a single line, written as
nobody but a writing master ever did or
will write till the worlds end. He will
make q muddle at first, but he will soon
make a passable imitation of his copy,
and ultimately develop q characteristic
and strong hand, which may
be bad or good, but will
not be either meaningless, unde-
cided or illegible. This hand will alter,
of course, very greatly as he grows older.
1t may alter at eleven, because it is at
that age that the range of the eyes is
fixed; and short sight betrays itself;
and 1t will alter at seventeen, because
then the system of taking notes at lee
ture, which ruins most hand, will have
oramped and temporarily spoiled the
writing; but the character will form it.
self again, but will never be deficient in
clearness or decision. The idea that 1T
is to be clear will have stamped itself,
and confidence will not have been de-
stroyed by worrying little rules about
attitude and angle, and slope, which the
very irritation of the pupils ought to
convince the teachers are, from some
personal popularity, inapplicable. The
lad will write, as he does everything
that else he cares to do, as well as he
can, and with a certain efficiency and
speed.-Teacher's Letter.

What the Stars Foretell for 1881,

Those who study the stars will have
plenty of occupation in the coming year.
The index hand on the celestial dial
plate points to events OF momentous
import The four great planets reach
their nearest point to the sun more
nearly together than they have done for
almost 1000 years. 1t Is not unreason-
able to suppose that with their strong
pull and pull altogether they will create
some unusual disturbance in the chaotic
elements that make up the suns fiery
mass. The forces of the new spot cycle
are now in active operation, and those
who have closely watched the influence
of the solar disturbance on climatic con
ditions predict a hot Summer from the
heat waves that follow the commence
ment of the tremendous solar outbreaks.
The hidden chambers of the Grea: Pyra-
mid have given forth in oracular fashion
~momentuous prophecies for 1881 to the
few disciples who have faith in their
teachings, and astrologers cast strange
horoscopes from the unusual planetary

It Was Not the Cat.

An amu,ing incident occurred at tire
quaint little hamlet of Lakawaxen,
Pike county, q few days ago. The
hero of tue hour was a young man who
held IA position as book-keeper at one of
the well known Summer resorts. The
heroine was a young, beautiful and ac-
con.plished damsel Of the neighbo,hood.

cat, h, set his foot out gently and lifted
the intruder out Of the path. His dot
ing companlou, less cruel, persuaded her
idol to carry the kitten home. He
could not withstand her earnest plead

it carefully in his arms and began strok-
ing it over the soft fur with his hands.
Everything was happiness for a moment

Beating the Company.

The New York Clipper tells a good
story about a 'drive" which was perpe-
trated on a Connecticut Western con.
ductor II few days ago. A man boarded
the train at q way station and
paid his fare to a point a few miles dis.
tant. On reaching his destination he
concluded to proceed to a farther sta
ton. and finally continued on until he
reached Winsted. Each time he paid
his fare to the conductor instead of buy
ing a ticket ut the station, although by
this means the passage cost HIM consid-
erably more. At last the conductor
spoke to him of this, and suggested that
it would be economy for him to buy II
ticket, and asked him why he didn't
"Well,' said the passenger. "Ill tell
you. Some time last Summer | got
into in a little troube with this COM
pany and they used me mighty meanly,
so | just said to myself, that Connect

another cent of my money if | live a
hundred years; and they won't, and
that's why | pay my iare to the con-
uuctors." The conductor dropped the
conversation at once.

WHY an Old Texan Made His Will

One day last month when trade was
dull a grocery clerk procured q piece OF
sole leather from a shoemaker, painted
it black. and laid it aside for future use.
Within a few days an old chap from

auircd for a plug of chewing tobacco.
The piece Of sole leather was tied up,
paid for, and the purchaser started for
home. At the end of the sixth day he
returned, looking downcast and detected,
and, walking into the store, he inquired
for the clerk.
