The increase of business here as
shown by clearinghouse transactions
is extremely gratifying and Of % leads
ing cities of the country this one
leads in the per centsge of increase
in the volume oflast week. The total
was sl77, 134.26 more here than for the
same week last year, the per centage
Of increase being 84s. The increase
at Kansas City was 2ss por ceut, and
at Pitaburg 26 per cent. AT all other
cities where there was any increase at
all. it was very small. New York
business fell of over AZ per cent,
and the total for all the cities Of the
Osuntry shows a shrinkage Qf S3l per
cent. The volume at New York was
1884, OBJ ,078, and outside of New York
$226, 498,145. The telegraphic report
Of the weeks transactions says; THE
speculative trade has been Rex-
.ceediDgly dull. The stock mar
ket has been in a state Of profound
stsgnation. The movement in
prices have been Insignificant, and the
amount of business done is more in
significant. The week has been one
pregnant with financial disasters,
which have disturbed trade from one
end Of the country to the other. The
effect of these financial troubles is
apparent in the diminished volume OF
clearinghouse exchanges at the leads
ing centers. Our exhibit is the most
unfayorable one, not only as compared
with that Of last week. but with that
of the corresponding week of last
year" With SO gloomy a report as
the foregoing it is certainly gratifying
to those who feel en- interest in the
prosperity Of this section to know that
our business interests are in 20 pros
porous a condition. Meantime local
capital is in ample supply, and dis.
counts rule easy at 6 per cent. Elk
change is quiet and steady, bankers
buy Eastern exchange at par to tc
discount, and sell New York drafts al
to premium. New Orleans rates ere

Mark 1'wain's Science.

In the chapter on cutoff" in Mark
Twain's new book, the statement Of
how the Mississippi river is continu-
ally shortening itself is accompanied
by an amusing bit of scientific educa.
ton: "The Mississippi, between Cairo
and New Orleans, was ! $50 miles long
176 years ago. 1t was $40 after the
American bend cut off. Consequently,
its length is only 973 miles at present.
Now, if wanted to be one of those
ponderous scientific people and let
on to prove what had occurred in a
given time in the recent past, or what
will occur in the far future by what
has occurred in late years, what an
opportunity is here. Geology never
had such q chance nor such exact data
to argue from. Nor development or
species, either. Glacial epochs are
vague-vague. Please observe: In
the space of 1877 years the lower Mis-
sissippi has shortened itself 2i2 miles.
This is trife over 11.3 miles a year.
Therefore, any calm person, who is
not blind or idiotic, can see that in
the old oolitic Silurian period just
100000 years ago next November,
the lower Mississippi river was up
ward of l, 100000 miles long and stuck
out over the Gulf like fishing rod.
And by the same token any person
can see that 742 years from now the
lower Mississippi will be only a mile
and three-quarters long, and that
Cairo and New Orleans will have
joined their streets together and be
plodding comfortably along under a
single Mayor and Board of Aldermen.
There is something fascinating about
science. One gets such wholesome re-
turns of conjecture out of such a
trifling investment of facts"

AMONG THE SHAKERS.

In certain sections of the country there
are religious sects known as Shakers: but
for the present we will not speak of them.
The shakers to whom we refer are those
who suffer from swamp fever which neces-

ralgia. TO these unfortunate ones, there
fore, we recommend Salicylica as a pana-
cea for their ailments. Try ii and be con-
