The Adirondacks promise to be literally
oyerrun with tourists and sportsmen this
season. Deer are reported as unusually
numerous, and the fishing as good every
where. The light snow of the past winter
enabled the animals to find plenty of food
and also prevented their wanton and
wholesale destruction by snow shoe hunt
ing and yarding." Trout are said to be
more plentiful than ever known before
and voraciously seize all kinds of bait.
Doctors proverbially differ. "Tilden's
constant DESIRE" says the Louisville
Couricr-Journal, "has been the party's
success, and for that he has been willing
to make every sacrifice of personal ambl-
ton" On the other hand, the New York
Star says Proofs are no longer necessary
10 fortify Mr. Tiden's notoriety rs a mas
ter of the lowest political arts His cum
ming and duplicity are matters of universal
knowledge, AS tricky as Sam Tildcn ,
has become an apophthegm."

1t is said of Mr.. Bradlaugh that, dur
ing "a visit to this country in 1877, he
was taken seriously ill., Through the
kindness of some friends he was provided
with bed in ST. Luke's hospital in New
York, and in the course of time was
cured. On leaving the hospital he slipped
into the nurses hand a small package as a
mark of gratitude for her attention, at the
same time saying: Keep these; one day
they will be worth n great deal of money!
The delighted attendant opened the envel-
ope with visions of certificates of stock of
some valuable security but 1t proved to
contain only number of Bradlaugh's
autographs!
The continued heavy failures in the iron
trade in New York are the legitimate re-
suits of what is known as booming
Having made large amounts of money by
the rise, the operators lost their heads and
laid in heavy stocks when the metal was
at its highest prices. The result is thai
the handsome gains of the fall months are
not only swept away, but losses of entire
capital have been experienced. 1t is use
less to moralize; but if men would b.
sensible and not mistake purely specula
tive advance of prices beyond a price
greater than the consumer can afford t.
pay for real advance of prices baset
upon legitimate consumption, these disas
trous failures might be avoided.
