INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26.
Trade continues rather quiet in most depart
fnents, yet the outlook is so favorable that
values is well preserved. Dry goods men report
trade fair for the of the year, principally
OF course, in staple goods where prices have
touched very hard rock, and it is doubtful if
they can be got down any lower. Leather men
report trade fair, prices steady the same is true
with hardware men. The iron market is fairly
firm business improving. There is no life to the
drug trade yet, business dragging along slowly
Goods can he bought very cheap, and, with the
exception OF few articles, all prices are weak
Tartaric acid has advanced and cream tartar is
held very firm. Canary and hemp seed also
well sustained and advancing. Essential oils
nre dull with the exception Of oil wintergreen,
which is frmer. Sulph. quinine, cinchonidia
morphia and gum opium are all
quiet, with chance of further
decline OF the hrstnamed articles. Grocers
report country merchants s'ill pursuing the
hand to mouth style of purchasing goods Sugars
are in an easy position. The production by the
refueries has been materially reduced, and by
presents no new features MOHsses and syrups
easier. Fish firmer, aud a largely increased de-
mand is looked for next month. Produce men
report n big demand fOr choice. Poultry receipts
rather limited Strictly choice roll and solid
packed butter in fair demand at pretty full
prices, but all other grades exceedingly dull,
with large and increasing supply. Buyers are
very hard to please, both as to quality and price

AMERICAN GIRLS THE pRErr1Esr


English women are by consent the
most beautiful in the world. but Ameri-
can girls are the prettiest. 1t is all in
the family, no doubt, and very proua we
should be OF the relationship; but we
must acknowledge that a good many
agencies haye hern at work to complete
that most perfect of created belngs-an
American girl. She has in her veins the
blood OF the Celt and the primitive Ger
man; she is partially French, Dutch.
Scotch, Irish, Welsh; there IL the volup-
tuous grace Of the Italian woman in her
gliding walk. and always except in

Life is too short.
Life is too short for any bitter feeling;
Time is the best ayenger, if we wait,
They years speed by, and on their wings

We have no room for anything like hate.
This solemn truth the low mounds seem ie-

Life Is too short for nught but high en-

Too short Tor spite, but long enough for

'Tis Gods fret law, the universc's lever,
In His vast realm the radiant souls sigh
