not only him, but his sons and their wives,
from the general destruction he brought upon
mankind by the flood, knowing, too, as he
did, that Noah was the greatest old topper in
the land.-See Gen., Chap. Ix-21.
now dismiss the subject, with this friend
ly admonition to the over-zealous champi-
ons of prohibition, that they read carefully
the 23rd chapter of Matthew, and in doing
so, to examine into their own hearts, and
see whether they themselves may not be
included in the category of persons there
alluded to-whether it is not some little
imaginary advantage to themselves, and
not their special concern for the wei
fare of other people, to which they can trace
the origin of their zeal.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

That there has been feeling of depres-
sion in business circles for sometime past is
fact apparent TO the ordinary observer
The iron trade, which is usually considered
the business barometer, has fallen from a
condition of remarkable prosperity to one
of great dizziness, the natural reaction from
that oyer-stimulus given To it by the ex-
traordinary demand for rails and railroad
equipments, growing out of the great extern
sion of our railroad system.
The revision of the tariff has contributed
somewhat to increase the uncertainty re-
garding the future, and many industries
will feel the effect OF the disturbance which
always results from tariff notifications,
whether they are beneficial To the country
or otherwise
Recently the floods on the Ohio river,
which are more disastrous than ever before,
have become another occasion of gloomy
representation.
Yet, Notwithstanding all these untoward
circumstances, it is highly probable that

the outcome in the end At this season of
the year il is not unusual for the business
men of the great centres of trade To take a
discouraging view Of the situation, espe-
cially If anything occurs to delay the open
ing Of the spring trade. With the advent
of seasonable weather. and the setting in of
the tide Of traffic, cheerlulness returns and
fears are abandoned. II. on the other hand,
there are at present many conditions which
seem To justify apprehension Of evil, there
are, on the other, important facts from which
we may properly infer that the business of
tile country is on sound busis, and that
ableness Of g,Oomy predictions.
From the daily quotations of the press
throughout the country we read that the
great staples Of the country arc in ready
demand at satisfactory prices. The market
for breadstutf and provisions is a buoyant
nne. Europe continues 10 buy largely at
improving prices. This is owing partly to
fhe reduced estimates of ths yield of our
wheat crop, and partly To the rather I'M
promising crop prospects in England. The
prosperity Of the great agricultural sections,
Of the Union means prosperity ~ all sections,
and that the great West and the South
are more wealthy than ever before IL fact
that is undisputed. They support the great
manufacturing centres, and always buy in
exact proportion To their ability 10 pay,
and in this respect they are in position to
keep al our industries that are not suffer
ing. Ike ..Ias Of non from oyer.stimulaton,
in condition Of activity.
Congress will soon adjourn, and whether
the tariff bill is passed or not, business will
, be relieved from stateIof suspense. The

The Phoenix Park murderers, by the con-

and Carey, are having so clear case made
out against them that their conviction may
now be regarded as certain. 1t is note

at first asserted, but for the most part citi

1t is feared that the floods which have
caused so much damage along the banks of
the Ohio are but the beginning Of wide
spread disaster that will eventually reach
all the way down to the gulf In Louisiana
and Mississippi the levees injured last year,
and but imperiectly repaired, will, doubtless,
give way and spread desolation among the
plantations.

The prosecution is making much strong
er case against Dorsey in the present star
route trial than was made in the first trial,
and it is considered that his only chance OF
escape from conviction is in tampering with
the jury. Whatever becomes of the prison.
er in this case the public ought to profit by
the experience gained, for it shows very
weak and costly system of justice, and one
which, in the case of shrewd and wealthy
swindlers, is really worthless.

The danger of duel between Represent
atives Haskell, of Kansas, and Townsend,
of Illinois, has been avoided. To the efforts
of mutual friends this pacific result is due.
Both gentlemen are said to have exhibited
considerable ferocity in the correspondence
which their quarrel provoked, but neither
has manifested any Discrimination to be
coaxed out of his warlike mood. They are
now able to take their meals with the relish
of men who do not feel as if they were eat

floods will have come and gone, leaving the
evidence of loss behind that will again be
repaired, and occasion only ripple on the
wave of general prosperity.
On the whole, therefore, we think there is
but little occasion for the foreboding Of evil,
and that the genial spring which sends a
thrill of life through all inanimate nature
will bring in its train re-assuring evidences
of life and health in all branches of trade.

What q Man Can Drink.

A notable drunkard who recently died
in Paris in his 10th year kept record
of his potaiions for half a century, SO
that mankind now have an opportunity
OF estimating the amount of abuse which
q phenomenal organization is able to en-
dure. His daily allowance of wine was
four bottles, 40 that In fifty years he
emptied a total of $4,000 bottles. He
could never eat until he had taken %
dram Of absinthe, and as he had three
meals day he must have swallowed
81, $50 drains Of that poison during the
fifty years. But in addition to all this be
found 1t convenient to drink daily about
twelve small glasses ofliquor, or a total
OF 210, 900 glasses in the half century.
His oldest acquaintance declare that
they never saw him perfectly sober. A
fine career certainly for this nineteenth
century of grace.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Oct. II, lsS3.-Secret
service officials here report tie arrest
at Grand Forks, Dakota, of three men
supposed to have been engaged in print
ing and circulating spurious tsn-dollal
silver certificates. The chase made by
the secret service men was a prolonged
one. IL was learned that various par
ties on the line of the Northern Pacific
Railroad had been victimized, and, fol
lowing the clew, the federal detectives
! were led to suspect man named James
McGOvern,a timber explorer, no made
his headquarters at Duluth, MINI.
Three or four of the bills were heard
of at Grand Forks, Dakota, where they
had been pas ed by Charles Chambers,
a saloon Keeper, who had recently re-
moved to Duluth, and started a gro
Gerry in partnership with McGovern.
Chambers was Immediately put in jail
at Duluth, and a man named Walters,
also held under suspicion, was taken to
st. Paul.
On searching the grocery all the para
ph"rnalia for carrying on c0unterfeiting
was discovered, and also four copper
plates for printing fve-doliar and ten
dollar bills on the bank of Mon real.
The latter plates were 6ne ones and
mortsed in such a manner that the
check numbers and the signatures OF
the bank officials could at. any time be
changed. Upon making this find Nc
Govern and the property were turned
over to the Distric Attorney at st.
Paul.
Detectives say that Chambers is a inc
peninan and was formerly ehployao in
the Canada Pacific Railroad office

his mother lives. McGovnrn came
from Montreal where he il known to
be respectfully connected, his brother
having held high municipal xnd gov

| The quality of material should decide
