Fall in Prices,

During the past month or so there
has been a general decline in prices,
notably in that Of iron. The great
demand by railroads and other enter
prises flooded the iron mills, and ran
the prices up over a hundred per cent.
AS soon as Europe saw the high prices
she hurried her iron over aud broke
down the market. Tho prices arc still
said to be very rcmuncrativc to the
mill owners. Cotton tumblcd also,
bu Vailed somewhat. On Saturday
uplands were quoted nj New York at
eleven and three quarters, and low
lniddlings in Charleston at eleven and
scven-cighths. Provisions are not as
high as they bid fair to be some time
since. Altogether it appears that the
market was inflated about Christmas
times, caused by speculation, and the
decline was to be expected. While
the country is fairly prosperous she
will not get rich all at once.

vidos that the District Courts Of tho
United States shall be constituted

extend to all controversies between
bankrupts and their creditors, to the
collection Of all tho assets Of balkrupts,
to the ascertainment and liquidation
of the liens and other specific liens
thereon, to the adjustment of tho va
'rious priorities and conflicting inter-
csts OF all parties, to the marshaling
and disposition of the different funds
and assets so as to secure tho rights Of
oil parties and due distribution Of the
assets among all the creditors, and to

How MULES CANE INTO FASHION,
Fow ofthe farmers of this country are
aware whata depth Of gratitude they
| owe George Washington for The intro
ductiOn Of mules into general use for
farm purposes.
Previous to 1888 there we're very
few, and those of such an inferior or
der as to prejudice farmers against
them as unfit to compete with horses in
work upon the road or farm. Consc-
quently there were no Jacks aud no
disposition to increase the stock; but
Washington became convinced that
tho introduction of mules generally
among Southern planters would prove
to them a great blessing, us they are
less liable to disease, and longcr-lived,
and work upon shorter feed. and arc
much. less liable to be injured than
horses 10y careless servants. AS soon
us it became known abroad that the
illustri0us Washington desired to
stock his Mount Vernon cstutc with
mules, the King ofSpaiu sent him a Jack
and two itunets from the royal stables.
and Lafayette sent another jack and
jcnncts from the island Of malta. The
first was OF gray color, sixteen hands
high, heavily built and Of sluggish na-
turc. He was named the Royal Gift.
The other was called the Knight of
Malta; he was about as high, 1.-THE and
fiery, even to tcrocity. The two sets
of animals gave him the most tavora-
bic opportunity of making improve
mcnts by cross-brceding, tho result Of
which was the favoritc Compound,
because he bctook of the best points in
both originals. The General bred his
broodcd mares to these jacks, even
taking those from his family coach for
that purpose, and produced such SUI
Ecrb mules that the country was all
agog to breed some of the sort, and
they soon became quite common.
This was the origin Of improved mules
. in the United States, and though over
, seventy years ago there arc now some
Of the third aud fourth generations of
Knight of Malta and Royal Gift to be
found in Virginia, and the great bcne-
fits arising from their Introduction to
this country are to be seen upon every
cultivated acre in the Southern States.

THE NEWSPAPER or To-DAY.-The
modern newspaper is altogether diff
fcrent sort of thing from the newspa-
pcr of only q fcw years ago. Con-
trasting tho difference between them,
tho Louisville C0u,ier-Joua'nal says:
"The locomotive and the telegraph
made many revolutions, but mono so
great as that in Journalism. A hand.
press and huddle of old typo wero
no longer sufficient to set one up in
business who had failed in all else.
Cheap postage obtained. Then pop.
ular thirst for news. Ultimately a
popular demand that facts should be
givcn on which readers might form in
telligcnt opinions of their own. Jour-
nalism became profession; tho art
and practice of journalism science !;
the Journalist an cmancipatcd being.
Instead ofa putting machine--an ccho
a worthless stipendiary on its party

commercial existence, and is looked to
by thousands Of readers with respect
proportional to the strength and con-
sistency ofits opinion, its truatworthi-
ness and its sincerity" S,

Social 0stracism,

The Whitaker mystery at West
Point has attracted the most wide
spread attention, and the court Of in
qliry is etill engaged in the apparent
ly hopeless task Of unravcling it.
Nothing whatever has been developed,
although all the cadets and half the
population Of tho little village Of
Highland Falls have been put upon
the stand. 1t bids fair to be another
case of"Who struck Billy Patterson"
The Radicals are taking advanting OF
the circumstances to slantlcr the entire
South and to heap mountains Of foul
mouthcd abuse upon tho Military
Academy. Bccchcr ravcd whole
hour in Plymouth Church last Sunday
on social ostracism, and vowed that
West Point should be filed with color
ed cadets hereafter, who shall secure
social recognition. Beecher has taken
pretty heavy load upon his should
crs. While these God-and-morality
Observation-Disclosures are invcighing
against West Point, they should look
nearer home. The New York W.T.
ness Is so-callcd religious paper, but
devotes n large portion Of its space 10
abuse of tho South and to frantic howls
for equality Of the races. Yet week
ago all the compositors in the Office
OF this truly good paper struck in
continently because two colorcd broth
ron had been introduced into tho COM
posing room. Ifa godly paper like
the FITNESS cannot influence it's en-
ployes who are compelled to read it,
what blame can be imputed to men of
war and sons of Dclial at West Point
who desire TO select their own compa-
ny! The Cincinnati Commercial, a
Republican paper, is impellcd to make
the following confession:
The compositors on the New York
Wttncss recently struck work because
two colorcd printers were employed in
the Office. The northern section OF

FROM FAT TO LEAN.-Among tho
Immigrant passengers who came
ashore at Castle Garden from the
steamship Wcstphalia, recently, were
four Germans, three of whom were
women and one q man. One of tho
women was Of peculiar build. Her
features wcro long and thin, and her
shoulders narrow, but with these ex-
ccptions she was quito portly, and
looked to be about two hundred and
seventy-five pounds in weight. She
moved slowly in seeming distress.
10 inquirers her companions said that
she was very i'll, and the customs ofli-
GERS permitted her to pass undisturbcd.
Mrs. jennie Ferris, the custom house
inspcctress, saw her few minutes
attcrward seated in chair in the gar
den, and, after sharp scrutiny Of her
requested her companions to assist her
to her private room. Every step tho
woman took she made q moan. Onco
inside the room, the inspcctrcss re-
quested tho two companions to with
draw, and she locked tho door after
they went out, leaving her alone will,
the suffering woman. In q fcw min.
utes the door was unlocked, and a tall
and angular woman stepped spryly

The Fire Alarm System.

There are six fire boxes in the village,
located as follows: No. al is on Bank
Block by the telegraph Office; No. 81
is on the Avenue House No. 10 is al
Fairbanks store No. 35 is on a post
opposite the manufactures in Paddock
village; No. "a is on Summer street,
corner of Webster; No. 81 is on South
Park. There are three gongs located
where it is supposed the bell may not
always be heard. One of these is at
Paddock village, one at Fairbanks
shops, and one at the Avenue House.
These gongs strike simultaneously with
the bell. Surprising a fire breaks out
in the vicinity of the st. Johnsbury
House, some one opens box Al and pull:
a lever. The fire bell will strike one
two, three, four-one; repeating this
four times. This indicates to every
body that the fire is in the vicinity OF
box Al. We now understand that the
new apparatus will be tested on Satur-
day.

SummorV1ll6.
In the collision between Buskett and
Aver on Portland street last week, Mr..
Alfred Adams had his wrist broken, in
stead of being put out of joint. If it
would do any good, we would like to
preach sermon against this fast driv-
ing through the streets, especially so
when it is dark. 1t is not only danger
GUS business, but it certainly does not
look like civilization--it is in bad taste
everyday. In this case, not only have
the young men suffered from broken
wagons, but an innocent party is made
to suffer quite seriously.
E. L. Hovey has his new house on
Portland street all plastered, and about
ready for the inside finish. We under
stand that Mr.. James Lively is to occu-
Ply one of the tenements, and Mr.. VIM.
P. Stafford the other.
Considerable has been said, one time
and another, about the taking care OF
drains and slop-holes in our midst. We
understand there are places on Elm
street that need looking to. Gentle
men do not wait until your children are
sick before you see to this. This is a
very grave duty.
1t has been said that a side track was
to be put in to accommodate the Hoe
and Fork works. This certainly ought
to be done in our opinion, and we hope
it will be. Taking these works, and
the mill business, there is considerable
done here in year, and probably there
will be more done hereafter than ever
before. If a track is laid, another store
building will be put up near it.
