BOsten Trade.

The Boston Advertiser, in its
annual review of the trade Of that
city SAYS: The past year has been
prosperous one generally to those
who have confined themselves to
legitimate trade, and the various
industries which are prominent
here have been maiRly satisfactory,
In the early part of the year the
advance in prices of various com
Rodities led to more or less specu-
lstion andover-trading, but most of
those who were tempted to specula-
tion had made money the previ-
Gus year and only suffered the loss
Of what they had previously gain
ed, so that there were comparative
ly few failures. The exportsof pro-
visions ana breadstuffs have moved
briskly, and the provision trade has
been eminently satisfactory. The
boot, shoe and hide and leather
interests are highly satisfactory,
and show a large increase over the
previous seasons business. The
drygoods trade has been profitable
and satisfactory, and the clothiers
are closing up the seasons opera
tiUns mach better than they antici-
pated. Many of the woolen mills
have suffered during the fall and
winter for the lack of water, but
they will have the satisfaction OF
closing out their goods at a hetter
price than they would if produc-
ton had not been curtailed. The
wool trade has labored under some
disadvantages bat the coming year
opens more favorably, and all the
prominent interests are in good
condition to share the prosperity
which has come from boHntifuI
crops and good markets.

She wanted Her Teeth at all Hazards

There was one passenger, woman, on
Louisville and Nashville Railroad train
the other day, who evidently believed that
railroads were made for the people, and
not the people for the railroads. Bv some
untoward mischance she dropped her
artificial teeth from the car window. The
thought of going among her friends at
Nashville all tOOthless was not to be en-
dured, so she summoned the conductor
and ordered that the train be taken back to
Louisville, or to the nearest town where a
dentist was to be found. The conductor
demurred, and finally compromised the
matter by stopping the train five minutes
while the woman's husband ran back to
hunt up the teeth. When this time ex-
pired, he had not returned. and the train
was started on without him. Forthwith
the wife sought the conductor and deman-
ded that it be stopped, that she might get
off and stay with her husband. The con-
ductOr hesitated. The wife remarked.
Stop this train and put me off, or I'll put
a bullet through YOU" Here was business
and the train was backed to the place
where husband was and he got on again.
but without having found the missing
treasure. Then the wife insisted that the
train be turned around and so back to
Louisville" This the conductor, having
locked himself In the baggage car to avoid
the threatened bullet, refused to do and
the train went on with its toothless but
lrate passenger. On reaching the next
station an offer of reward for the recovery
OF the teeth was telegraphed back and
they were found and sent Oh by the next
train,

The Merits of Wire Rope for Opera
ting Street Cars.

FOR some time past San Francisco has
been employing wire ropes instead of
horses to give motion to her street cars
ChlcagO is trying the experiment, and if
the severe winter climate of that citv
proves not unfavOrable, there is a prob
ability that the wire rope will replace the
morse on the lines of the Union Passenger
hailway Company of Philadelphia. The
objection to the horse is that he is too ex-
pensive, now that, by reason of the exten.
sion OF the limits of the city, the car
routes have become excessively long. The
expense per mile for two-horse car is II
cents, SO that round trip of ten miles
costing Sl.7O, requires twenty-ninc full
lare passengers to pay expenses. Of the
II cents per mile cents go for power to
propel the car and 9 are allowed for labor
taxes, ETC., items that cannot be made to
cost less If all parts of car line paid
equally well, no fault could be found with
It's length; but it is plain that only on GER
tam much-trequented streets are the cars
likely ia he full, and that only at certain
hours of the day. Extra cars cannot well
be put on for the busy hours of the day
without paying full days wages to drivers
ana conductors for two on three hours
work: Hence IL street-car has its limit
the number it can carry in the thronged
hours OF the morning and evening. If the
lines were shorter it would be easier to re-
duce fares; but there Is evidently a limit
to profits when the lines are extended far
into the suburbs of city. But money
would be saved if four cars were put to-
gether on wire rope and the same CON
dQotof could 60 through ali four and col
iect iaFes ;l9 ON steam railways More
over, with little expense beyond the cost

To suit the needs of the riding public. The
mode of operating is this: The wire rome
Is placed in pipe laid between the tracks
and is put in motion by revolving drums,
operated BY steam eAglnes lQcated at con,
Nenlent intervals, 4 long groove or slit
in the upper side of the pipe gives admis-
sion to the clamp descending from the bot
tom of the car, which clamp can be made
to grip the moving rope at the pleasure of
the conductor. Astoppage is effected sim
ply by loosening the clamp. The groove
IN the pipe is hut shree quarters OF an inch
wide, and is flush with the surface of the
street, 50 that no danger is to be appre.
hended from the motion of the rope. A
point In favor of the presence of the pine
is the fact that it will cooperate with the
sewers in carrying of water. The main
point in its favor, however, is the reduc
ton of fares promised by the substitution
OF the wire rope for horses. FOur-cent

kILLED BY \ RATTLESNAKE.-A lady
who has been visiting at President in
forms us concerning one of the most terri
bic accidents that ever came to our knowl-
edge. There resides near President a
widow who had three children. A few
days since she was preparing dinner and
had the youngest child with her in the
house. The other two children were sent
by her to hunt some eggs. They were
both young, and going out of the house
they saw hollow log in the yard. One
of them put i'll her little hand to see if
there were any eggs, but quickly pulled it
out, saying a chicken had bitten her.
The other inserted his hand and ierked it
out with a scream. A rattlesnake had
bitten them both. The sa4eam of the
second child was heard by the mother, and
lifting kettle of boiling potatoes from
the stove, so they would not burn, she
started out. She had just gotten outside
the door when she was recalled to the
house by the agonizing cries of the baby,
who had crawled across the floor and up
set the boiling water over himself She
was almost disheartenea and did not know
what to do, Help soon arrived and every-
thing that could be done was done for the
three little sufferers, but nothing did any
good. They all rapidly grew worse and
within day all three died and were
buried in the same grave.-Oa city Der
