BUSINESS OUTLooK.-The Springfield Re
publican says; "The spring trade in dry
goods at New York and other important
points is excellent, and perhaps the most en-
couraging feature of it is the fact that an
unusually large proportion of the purchases
are for cash. The advance of twenty or
thirty per cent in domestic goods in the
past few months does not dampen the eager
ness of buyers, and many of the great stocks
have been reduced very low. Meanwhile
the factories in New England have about all
they can do, the quotations of their shares
have advanced rapidly, and their employees
have in many cases received material ad-
vances in their wages. The sales of prints
have thus far been double those OF last
spring, and the stocks of print cloths at Fall
River and Providence are small with a
strong market. The Boston wool trade,
which took such a remark able start months
ago, when almost everything else was dull
has kept up ever since, and was active last
week. The success of the special sales at
London, which represent the Australian and
other distant clips, has given the business
further strength, and there can be no re-
naming doubt of the legitimate and whole
some character of the demand for this COM
modify.

HEIGHT of MEANNEss.-A Washington
correspondent thus describes little incl
dent which illustrates the true spirit Of
bourbon Democracy. The house had passed
a bill to admit duty free such contributions
as benevolent Englishmen had sent for the
colored refugees in Kansas, and the question
on concurrence came up in the senate. The
correspondent says "The bill contained
provisions against its abuse, but Senator
Voorhees,, who has just now the negro exc.
dus on the brain. objected. Senator Conk.
ling made one of his eloquent appeals to the
senate to alleviate suffering by removing OBJ
stacles in the way of charity. Senator Thur
man replied, saying that white emigrants
went out into the woods without aid, and
these negroes might. Senator Bruce, the
colored senator from Mississippi, made an
impressive little speech, in which he alluded
TO what is being done for Ireland, and ex-
pressed his thanks to the liberal English
people who have sent clothing to the desti-
tute emigrants in Kansas. Voorhees, was
finally disposed to withdraw his objection,
when Pendleton renewed it against earnest
appeals from Herman. Pendleton wanted to
speak, but Edmunds objected, as the senator
from Ohio had objected to the considera-
ton Of the bill. There was quite circus
for few moments, dozen senators want
ing to speak at once; but the senate finally
adjourned without action on the bill for the
relief of the colored emigrants. Those char
liable Britons who have sent them comfort
able clothing for winter use will not feel
gratifed when they learn that Democratic
senators have put an embargo on the cloth.

FIRES IN lS70.-A review of the losses
by fire throughout the country during the
past year shows total of about S7S, 900, 900
against S74,000,000 In 1873, and the losses
to insurance companies of 100000 900 in
1879 to SS6,00000O in 1878. Adding the
Canadian fires, the total loss is increased by
about gil 100000 and the insurance loss
100000. OF the whole number of fires,
considerably more than one-third were in
structures the risks on which are classed in
insurance parlance as special or extra haz.
ardous. Taking the 2i,43S special risks de-
stroyed or damaged by fire during the last
five years, we find that more than seventeen
per cent were hotels, liquor stores, restau-
rants aud billiard saloons. The saw.mills,
carpenter shops and buildings OF that class
come next, the proportion being over six.
teen per cent. Then come grocery stores,
over seven per cent and iron foundries
-four and other mills, and factories follow
after which come churches, schoolhouses
theaters and buildings Of that sort; then
drug stores, and finally newspaper and print
ing Offices. These are the structures which
experience shows the insurance companies
are the most risky.

DIvoRcEs.-The divorces in the four
states of Vermont, Massachusetts,, Connect.
cut and Rhode Island, for the year 1878
number one thousand three hundred and
ninety-fou against one thousand three hun
dred and thirty-three the previous year.
There is an increase in every state but Con-
necticut, which begins to show the effect OF
its repeal of the "omnibus clause" The
increase is greatest in Massachusetts,, which
granted six hundred divorces in 1878 against
five hundred and fifty-three in 1877, and
which has lately shown the most rapid prog
ress in the evil of any of these four states.
We are informed that Connecticut and Yer
mont are both likely to show marked gains
in the right direction in 1879 from the re-
strictions of recent legislation. Windham
county, Connecticut, granted, it is reported
only twenty-seven divorces last year, which il

COMING TO LIGHT.-We stated last week
that the missing returns in Maine had been
found. They were discovered in a room
occupied by Governor Garcelon, and with
them various letters and affidavits from
Democrats in all parts of the state. These
implicate in the conspiracy fusionists and
Democrats in several counties, and it is as.
serted show cases Of forgery, substitution OF
returns and acts of petty and grand larceny.
An inspection of the returns, which is going
on, show clerical errors worse than any for
which the Republican towns were disfran-
chised by the conspirators. In some cases
the accepted returns are in the most incom-
plete and almost unintelligible form. Gar
celon, it will be remembered, repeatedly and
publicly said that the errors in the returns
were all on the part of the Republicans
This did not look reasonable at the time, for
taking the parties through, Republicans are
no more illiterate, to say the least, than their
Democratic brethren. Yet he said it and
repeated it. When full examination Of
these papers and returns has been made il
will be possible to attach the degree OF con
domination.

CONSCIENCE MoNEY.-We have at home
now and then instances of money fraudu-
lently obtained being restored through a
quickened conscience. One of our local in.
surance companies has had five or six cases
of the kind-two or three of them coming
through the confessional, where the name of
the party was never known, and two of
them direct from the parties themselves.
The treasurer of the United States has had
quite an experience in this matter. Begin
ming in 1868. up to 1874 the total amount
so returned, in sums varying from one dollar
to several hundreds, amounted to sl63, 900
Since then no separate account of the con-
tributions has been kept, but the treasurer
estimates that it now amounts to at least
S250,000

Last week in the national house of repre-
sentatives, the subcommittee on elections, to
which was referred the contested seat from
Minnesota, reported in favor of giving the
seat to that pestilent demagogue, Ignatius
Donnelly, Democratic Greenbacker, thus I'M
seating Washburn, the present member,
who was reelected by an undisputed ma
jority of more than three thousand votes.
The ground upon which they base their de.
cision is that bribery on the part of Wash.
burn has been proven-a totally false as
sumption. In Vesan county over two thou
sand votes are thrown out because the ballots
were numbered in Minneapolis nearly the
same number are rejected because of some
alleged irregularity in making a canvass of
the returns; and Washburn votes in other
precincts are rejected because the returns
were signed by two justices of the peace
and judge of probate, instead of three JUS
tices. By methods such as these the Demo
cratic majority have overcome Washburn's
official majority of more than three thou.
sand, and figure a majority of one hundred
and sixty.fve for Donnelly. One Demo-
cratic member of the subcommittee was so
disguised with this party trick that he de-
clined all responsibility for the act, while
the Republican member makes strong re.
port in favor Of Washburn. But the ma
jority of the committee hold that it is a
party necessity. For, they say, If there
should be no election Of a president by the
people, the Democrats must in some way
have majority of the states as represented
in the house. At present the Republicans
and Democrats have an equal number Of
states with the Indiana delegation equally
divided. Another Democratic representa-.
tive Is therefore needed in order 10 give that
party the power TO choose its candidate fol
president, II the choice should devolve upon
the house, and he must be obtained by
counting out either Orth of Indiana OF
Washburn Of Minnesota. By seating tn,
Democratic contestant in either of the dis
tricts represented by these gentlemen tn,
Democrats would get control Of another
state. But it has been suggested that if ID
La Matyr, the Greenbacker from Indiana
will agree to vote with the Democrats il
case the election should come into the house
Mr.. Orth and Mr. Washburn may both re
main, but II not, one or the other must b.
turned out. The duty Of the election com
mittee is ostensibly TO ascertain and repor
which OF the claimants of contested seat

GROWTH OF CITIgs,--Only one.thirteth
of the population of the United States lived
in the larger cities one hundred years ago. In
1900 the proportion of population living in
cities having above 5000 was one-twenty-
fifth in 1910 and also in 1920, one-twentietb I;
in 1880, one-sixteenth in 1910, one-twelfth /;
in 1850, one-eighth; 10 1850, one-sixth in
1870 little over one-fiflh. The indications
are that the coming census will show twelve
millions in these cities instead Of eight
millions in 1870. These facts are more APP
parent at the north than at the south.

Our Coast Defences.

few years ago, in a season OF excite
ment growing out Of the capture Of the vir-
ginius by Spain, our government brushed up
the navy and placed IL in the best possible
order for fighting. But since that time the
repeated economies Of congress have crippled
that branch of the service, while the utter
neglect of our coast defences have left our
sesboard almost entirely at the mercy Of a
foreign hostile power. The harbor of New
York is defended by four hundred and
seventy-fve guns Of an inferior quality;
Philadelphia has less than one hundred,
while Baltimore, Boston, and other large
seaports are not even as well provided for.
In fact, no single city along the coast is pro-
vided with the frstclass defences Of modern
warfare. No wonder, then, that there is a
movement on the part of congress to provide
some better means of defence.
The great trouble with our coast de-
fences is that the invention of projecties
and the improvements in ordnance have
far outrun the power to resist them. The
most improved cannon of to-day will pene.
trate combined thickness of iron and teak
which is equal to thirty-three inches of solid
iron. This weight will sink any armor-
plated ship now aaoat. Fortunately for the
United States, discovery has just been
made in the foreign navies that thickness
Of nine inches OF iron, subjected to certain
process, becomes tougher than fifty-four
inches of the ordinary armor plate. Two
United States war vessels now upon the
stocks are to be covered with this new armor.

A GERMAN BALL-A New York cores
Arion Ball, held in Gilmore's Garden on
Thursday night of last week. He says
There were present from twenty to twenty
five thousand. The garden, which has in
turn since its inception echoed the time
honored jokes Of the circus clown, resounded
with the enthusiasm of Moody and Saukey,
swelled with the music of Thomas orches-
ira, been perfumed with the roses of many
flower-shows, grown dusty with the tread of
many walking-matches, given back the
growls and barks of many bench.shows and
finally throbbed to the swing of many
walters, has at last proved inadequate to
its purpose-it cannot contain the Arion
society and its enormous following. A
masquerade it certainly was but a mas
querade ball it certainly was not till very
late hour. That is to say, of course, il dane
ing be necessary to constitute ball. There
we're numerous unsuccessful attempts to hop
about, but they resulted in little skillful
lodging Of knocks and pokes aud pushes,
unwittingly given and smilingly received.
Hilarity reigned. There were thirty thou
sand bottles and five hundred kegs Of hilar-
ity dispersed throughout the edifce, yet
there was no drunkenness, no undue license.
The Americans present could only look on
in wonder to see the ease with which the
Germans absorbed quart after quart of
liquids of all kinds, without appearing in
the least overweighted, or excited thereby.
They were like so many jolly, dry sponges,
accidentally brought in contact with UNI
limited liquid; but they were as different
as the poles from an equally moistened Amer
lean crowd.

When the late Laiayettes. Foster was :

enjoyed larger social prominence than
his own. The wedding day had been fixed
and the couple were talking over the pros
pectiye tour, as part Of which young
Foster proposed that they should spend a

a town some distance away. The lady
rather reluctantly consented, but said: II

YOU must not expect my visits to your
parents to be very frequent. You must
remember that our associations have been

Thenceforth their ways lay apart and she
