A LAWYERS Novel.

Prof. Swing, of Chicago, in an address
at the Acton, Ind, Assemblage approx
ed of judicious novel reading, and told
this anecdote: 8" heard of a Chicago
lawyer once whose wife read two novels
to him when he was sick, and he said to
her: [ have been entirely too much
wrapped up in law, and have forgotten
almost everything else. When l get well
l shall lay aside my statutes and write q
novel, and SO he did. The first chapter
told about nice young man and pretty
young woman. Tue second told how
they fell in love. The third, a yery
pretty chapter, told how they took a
walk together in the evening and how
they got outside of town because the sun
went down and they couldn't see the cor
poration line. 1t was very romantic
story, but he spoiled it in the next chap
ter. After the lovers were appropriately
seated in the shade of a spreading oak,
although 1t was night, the young man
said: Adelaide, l can no longer conceal
my feelings. l love you madly, dis.
tractedly, wildly. 1 cannot live without
you. Your image is in my heart by night
and by day, and without you my life is
incomplete Now, that was all very
pretty, but-would you believe it?.
the lawyer commenced that maiden's
answer to that burning declaration with:
'The other party responded substanti-
ally as follows and that took away all
the romance"

favor Of his grandson, the Due dc Bordeaux,
the people insisted upon crowning the Citi

ished In 1889, the prince visited the courts
CT Italy, with bis mother, and In 1874 went
TO London; both visits having political
ends i'll Wow. In 1876, he married the eldest
daughter of the Duke of Modena. In 1850,
he appeared at Wiesbaden, where a union or
fusion OF the partisans Of the elder Bouibons
with the Orleanists was effected but no attempt
WAS made to carry out the arrangement. After
the capitulation Of Paris in 1871 the Count re-
turned to France. The legitimists were at this
time strong enough to warrant their attempt
ing to place upon the throne the last descend
ant of the old Bourbons, but he committed po-
litical suicide by refusing to accept the throne
under the tri-color, and lost all, rather than
sacrifice his fidelity to the white flag of Navarro.
In 1873, difference between the two branches
of the royal house was remedcd by the ac-
acknowledgement of the Count de Paris that
Count do CbamboYi was the head. It is re-
ported that the count has solemny designated
the Count dc Paris as his success or. The life
OF the Count dc Chambord has beet est entially
that Of French political leader. For
exactly twelve days he was king OF France.
Even his days of exile have been
kingly, and while he has the gentIcm1ny at
tributes Of education, refinement snd intelli-
gence which beft king, yet there has been n
short-Sightedncss and fanaticism which has
proved his ruin. He was an unusually handsome
man; rather stout and of medium height. His
greatest power, however, was in q rich musical
voice which would well become general. I'm
affected and gracious in his manner, the sim-
plicity and amiabillty Of his nature was revealed

THREE YOUNG MoNARcHs OF ASIA.

The ancient empires of Eastern Asia
have young rulers of progressive incli.
nations, and this fact is an important
consideration in estimating the immedi-
ate future OF China, Japan and Corea,
The Chinese emperor is little more than
child, but LII Hung Chang, the virtual
ruler Of the empire, is statesman of
such breadth of mind and acknowledged
ability thst bis jnflne, ce i'll shaping he
character of his young soyereigu may be
decisive, and his policy will bring China
nto more friendly relations with other
nations. The emperor of Japan is a
young man of fine intellect and compre,
hensive views, who is understood to be
in earnest sympathy with the movement
which resulted from Commodore Perry &
achievement in opening the gates of the
empire to foreigners. Ard the king of
Corea is represented by United States
Minister Foote to be a youth of frank,
prepossessing appearance, who will be
inclined to regard with favor tha ad-
vances of other nations. The proclama-
tion from Washington OF the treaty of
friendship and commerce between the
United States and the kingdom Of Corea, !,
which was negotiated by Commodore
--nnfeldt, recaliE the bloody insurrection
hich followed the discovery by the
Coreans a year ago that their country
was to be opened to foreigners, who for
centuries had not been permitted to en-
ter their ports. The Chinese have been
slow to admit strangers within their
walls, but Coreansg will yield still more
reluctantlyfto Dhangeof policy. Never
theless, the fact that the sovereigns of
China, Japan and Corea are young men
of progressive inclinations is to be re-
garded as prophetic of great changes
among the vast multitude Of inhabitants
of Eastern Asia. .-s

r New York, August 20.-The moe
file failures of %. q. Stedman 4 Co., G.
W. BaIlou and Cecil, Ward a Go. are
discussed in the street, the more Fecu=
liar are the actions OF the various parties
concerned. Ballou has managed as yet
to keep his affairs in the dark, but 1t has
been elected in regard to the younger
Ste oman that he had laid his hands
tipon certain securities of his firm and
put them as a margin with Cecil, Ward
& Go. for private speculation. He lost
money. but Cecil, Ward h Co.
were Insured against loss by
these deposits. In the course on
business Stedman represented to Cecil,
Ward & Co. that he was obliged TO
change the securities from time to time
giving them others in their place. They
allowed him to do 80. But one morn
ing Stedmap, Sr., returning from laying
the foundation stone of his New lamp
shire castle, saw his son with the secure
ties, and inconsistently refused to allow
him to take them back to Cecil, Ward 4
Co. Indeed some people go 30 far as to
say that he sent his son to obtain the
securities under promise of return
ing them. If this be SO, 1t is
difficult to see how Mr.. Stedman, Sr.,
is not quite as guilty as Mr.. Stedman,
Jr. The latter appropriated the securities
belonging to the firm OF G. q. Stedman
& Co.; and the former those actually be.
longing to Cecil, Ward 4 Co. 1t would
seem that Mr.. Stedman, is bound to
show, if he wishes to clean his hands,
that Cecil, Ward h Co., knew that 3oung
Stedman had no right to use thesesecur-
tiles as margin for his speculations,
and that will be difficult Job, as the
young man was partner of his fathers
and had just as much right to handle
ell the securities as the old map, especi
ally when the latter was absent.

OVERPRODUCTION.
The Dry Goods Trade, Suffering from the
Evil Consequent There Un-
limited Credit Given Retailers by
Heavy Manufacturers - Tremendous
Auction Sales at Prices Below Cost.

New YORK. August 20.-The Sun
this morning discusses the condition of
trade and finances as follows: Only u
few weeks have elapsed since the great
auction sale of Bliss & Fabyan, when
goods to the value Of S3,O0O,OOO were
sold below cost. The reason Tor selling
these goods at auction was that they
could not be disposed of in the ordinary
course of business. People shook their
heads at this proof of overproduciion,
but comforted themselves with the idea
that no other firm was likely to follow the
example. Yet now comes the announce
ment thaton Thursday next Messrs. Geo.
O. Richardson & Co., vii sell at auction
fourteen thousand packages, and people
in the trade say that the amount will be
nearer twenfy-eieht thousand packages
if they only can find purchasers at any
thing like reasonable concession. This
firm is very rich, has some dozen mills
In the states of New York and Mas
sachusetts, and produces almost the
same kind of goods as Bliss g. Fabyan-
namely, tickings, cheviots, brown
and bleached muslins, denims, and 30
on. These goods are articles of prime
necessity IN every household. But with
our yearly increase of two millions in
population and improved habits of
cleanliness among the people the over
production increases. At the present time
there is surplus on hand OF 1000, 600
bales more of cotton worked up into dry
goods than there was at this time wear
ago. Moreover the cotton crop promises
to be not less than $500, 900 bales. and
there ISL surplus of 1900, 900 bales of
raw cotton on hand. The oyerproduc.
tlon OF dry goods seems to be m ainly due
to the peculiar credits given in that
trade. Goods are sold and delivered sav
on June let, but the bills for them do
not commence to run till September 1st
or October lst In course of time the
smaller retailers found out their method
OF DONG business and insisted upon hay
ing the same allowance made to them.
Goods are thus apparently sold aud
taken out OF the market and the manu-
facturers goto work to supply the demand
when they suppose will soon appear
AGAIN. But this demand does not come

winch had been secured through these
advance sales. Cotton goods are practi-
cally forced upon the jobber and the re-.
taller by the grant Of another three or
TOUR months credit, during which time
they are standing upon the open account
without an any bills being issued against
Them. The woolen trade is said to be-
IN still more critical condition. The
tariff has overprotected woolen goods to
such degree that manufacturers have
gone on producing without eny limit
According to the existing protective
prices their books make a magnificent

THE FLORIDA SHIP CANAL.

Persons prominently connected with
the enterprise are free to say, that the
proposed Florida shipscanal will be con.
etructed. The feasibility of the project
appears to have been demonstrated.
Gen. Stone, who has conducted the sur
vey and who will superintend the con-
struction of the canal, in case the COM
pany decides to go ahead with the work,
is man whose opinion on such matters
is valuable. He asserts confidently that
the digging of this waterway will prove
o good Investment for the company and
OF vast benefit TO commerce. According
to Gen. Stone, the estimated cost-he
witholds the figures for the present
"is moderate in comparison with the
volume of business that awaits the
canal. !" The reason for his faith in the
enterprise may be stated in a few words.

three TO seven days time for all the
steamers and sailing vessels going into

Gently been discussing the relation Of
Sthe teeth TO the brain, and their eonclu-
sions are OF considerable importance to

teeth to decay by consuming the phos-
phates' which would otherwise nourish
the dental structures; ana DIR. Cham
pionniere therefore recommends tina
parents and guardians should pny close
attention to the condition of the teeth
OF those under their, care, and should,
when any sisnsof premature decay are
noticed. give their charges holiday,
