selection is justified. 1t is, however,
to be wished that Mr. Booth had

There seems to be little doubt o.
Cetewayo's ultimate restoration to his
throne and as much OF the sovereignty
sppertaining thereto as will be Do lsible
to him with a British Advisor" at
his elbow. Such of the chiefs as
object to return under Cetewayo's
rule, it is stated by the Hon. Evelyn
Ashley, will be protected in their
rights by safeguards" Cetewayo also
is to have safeguards-that is, an
English military police force. No
army or military system is to be al
lowed to either Cetewayo or his rivals,
who are reduced to one native and the
Englishman John Dunn. Ia short,
these three kings will have about
as much real power as the royal
ivory puppets on a chess board. The
fact that twelve Of the SO called Zulu
Kings have rebelled against English
rule in their devotion to CeteWayo
would prove that that chief had ex
ceptional individual force and execu-
i've ability. Whether ho will, on
condition Of restoration to his couu.
try, submit to become a mere tool OF
England is doubtful. However, the
principal argument advanced by The
British press for his liberation was
that he had obtained a knowledge Of
English power while in gaol which no
other native chief could have, and
consequently would understand how
to conduct himself with due humility

for June k44,0OO,0O0 larger for tho
hrst half Of the year, and Ss2,0O0,00C
larger for the fiscal year, than for the
previous corresponding periods. But
il is not a discouraging fact that the
Increase Of imports is decidedly small,
er than it was in some preceding
months. The tendency is in the right
direction.
Part of our balance due we are
paying in silver exported. The truth
is that the country might and would
pay in silver nearly the whole Of its
balance thus due, if it had not fool
ishly coined and locked up in the
Treasury Sll0,000,0O0 of that metal
In June the excess of exports over
imports Of silver was $5l0,22l; in the
first half OF 1881, &,l45,924; and in
the fiscal year, $S,729,360. AS we
have foolishly slowed away in the
Treasury vaults 81, 600, 600 of silver
- which there is no use, the country
Virtually lost three -quarters of its
product of silver through foolish laws,
and it consequently has a balance to
nav. on merchandise and silver &C
count, Of $11 100000 in June aud
$3l,500,0 900 for six months. To meet
this balance gold has been exported in
excess OF imports, $5,3O0,000 during
June. and $2S, 1000 in the six
months, leaving a balance to be paid
by future shipments, besides the
amount payable on freights, in in
%surance, profits of foreign importers
and differentiation of imports.
But this i'll favored statement seems
less disheartening when we consider
that domestic exports have only twice
in our whole history been ss large as
they we're during the past fiscal year.
Compared with 1881 and 1880 there is
a decline; compared with any other
year there is a great increase. On the
other hand, larger imports than ever
before are not a sign of stagnation or
st rvation. The people have been
buying largely, perhaps 100 largely,
but they have been able to Pay for
what they bought, and if thew have
not yet paid the full amount, it is only
because they have chosen to waste
$500, 900 per month in storing up
silver. Presumably, purchases Of
foreign goods have been made to meet
a great and growing consumption, aud
that consumption is not an evidence
Of decay or s~6agnation.
Of all features OF our internal and
foreign commerce this is the least
favorable, that there has been a de-
cline Of II per cent in exports, and an
increase of II per cent in imports.
But the country will not go to ruin
because of a year OF extraordinary i'll
fortune has brought d loss of cue
sixth in its sales. MOI will it be CON
sidered quite bankrupt because i,
imports, temporarily exceeding j 4
exports, are one-twellth larger than
they we're lasS year, aud $50 ,0O0, 900, or
less than 8 per cent larger than ever
before. The eountry needs care, but
isis ~not"ruined yet by any meaus.

NatIOnaI commerce.
Nav York Tribune.

1t is possible to indulge in very dis
NAL reflections, in view OF the annual
report Of imports and exports. The
official statement for June 30 is not
calculated to arouse enthusiasm And
yet, rightly understood, il is by no
means a discouraging report. There
has been a great decline in exports,
but il has been wholly due to the par
tial failure of one or two crops. There
has been an increase in imports, but
this has shown the power Of the PEG
pie to buy, even when their usual
means Of payment had been curtailed
Briefly put, the report shows a loss
of $22, 800, 900 in exp, rts for June, Of
$S3, OO0. ono for the half year, and Of
$l52, 900 900 for the fiscal year. In a
word, the new crops had not begun to
come forward in June. and we are
dealing with ancient history. Short
crops made exports small last year,
aud a comparison of the leadi7g items
of export shows that the loss wa
wholly in these, and not at all in the
other and far more numerous items o.
foreign trade. On the other hand
Imports were large-A,OOOIOOO larger

Carrying Their Husbands on
Their Backs. Us

At one time the Duke Of Bayonia
vas besieged in his castle and was
compelled to surrender. His lady
demanded for herself and the other
ladies Of the castle that they be por-
mitted to go out iu safety With all they
could carry on their backs. This was
granted, and, to the eurprise OF all,
the ladies appeared carrying their
husbands on their backs, aud for their
devotion the Emperor pardoned them
all and set them at liberty. There are
many women who, by their industry
and economy, TO the shame Of the able
bodied men, be it said, are carrying
their husbands and whole households,
either by earning all the money them
selves or by economizing with the little
that comes into their fingers, while
the husband squanders the earnings in
a dissolute and v%oluptuous life.

ElktOu tNy.) Register.


An old and most worthy citizen of
this county, who visited Virginia
about fifty years ago, borrowed a.
pair Of saddlebags from a neighbor to
carry his extra wearing apparel in, as
the most convenient way Of taking il
with him on his long horseback jour
ney. He was gone some months, and
when be returned his neighbor had
moved away. He laid the saddlebags
away, intending to return them TO
their owner should he ever have an
opportunity to do so. About FIVE years
ago he learned where he was and i'm
mediately sent for a friend, to whom
he showed the borrowed property, and
asked him the value of such an article
forty five years ago. His friend gave
his opinion as to their value at the
time referred to, and was told to count
the interest on that amount, payable
annually. He did so, aud the old gen.
tleman drew his check in favor of his
old neiehbor for nearly fifty dollars
and sent it to him.
