The Custom House returns Of the foreign move
ments of merchandise at New-York last week
make an exceptionally favorable showing for the
port, and as there no special reasons-such as
delayed steamers-to account for so large decline
in the imports from the usual weekly average. 1t
may be that the beginning of material
decrease in the value of our imports has been
marked. The imports last week ($5. $780, $50, were
$5,307, 618 smaller than for the week of 1882, and
So 85S, 19l smaller than for the week of 1881.
The exports last week t$7 7s2, 292 were 1855 03
greater than foHthe week of 1882 and were So 152
greater than for the week of 1881. The resulting
balance in favor of the port last week 2 80 432,
against balances against it of SO, Ill $50 and
$1,1259 01 for the weeks of 1882 and 1881. The
merchandise imports for the thirty weeks of this
year have been S27, $40 POI less than for the same
period of 1882 and $l9.S13, 1888 greater than for
the period of 1881. The exports for the thirty
weeks of this year have been $15,317,477 more
than for the same time in 1882 and 18,367,57
in 1881 Hence the balance against the port on the
merchandise movements of this year $500 053 400 is
$40, 857. 67S smaller than at this date in 1882, but
1898 lS 1858 greater than at the date in 1881.
The specie movements of the three periods however
so modified the balance that the net balance

of this year ia only $S,794,223 smaller than the
balance at this date 1892 and $14 1877 173 greater
than the balance at date 1881.

Hints TO Conductors.

To succeed in any industry, man
should be solemn and disagreeahle.
Especially does this rule apply to those
whose aspirations for sudden wealth
have carr.e them into the pro ession
of conducting railroad trains. The
genial mau never succeeds in anything.
and the genial conductor is doomed to
life of disappoin ment and penury.
The coDd lctor should first assume
that the road is run for his sole behoof.
/ nder no circumstances should he ever

that the fare paving traveller is entitled

Fortunate, the screws should be put on
without delay. If the conductor gives
way TO either of them, he must give way
to all, and perhaps lose all his fun in
the baggage car, besides forfeting the
respect OF those who are inclined to
take advantage of a mans good nature.
When timid passenger or an elderly
woman asks question, the snub is the
only proper answer Have no parley

The Floods and the Forests.

The sudden occurrence of the great
Ohio flood upon n scale unknown in the
records of tire rivers risings suggests
some important inquiries. The long
series of Smithsonian rainfall reports
show that the principal minimum of the
yearly precipitation in the Ohio Valley
takes place as a rule early in February.
Why there has been an exception TO the
rue this year is not easyto explain fully.
One thing, however, seems clear. The
fierce flood which burst forth from the
western slopes of the Alleghanies ON
Fe rIary 5, and raised the level of the
river at Pittsburgh nine feet in a single
day. was the beginning of the great in
undation. This rise OF the mountain n
streams should be traced apparently to
the snow melting effects OF the warn
wave of February 3. which carried its
moist southerly winds with a tempera-
ture OF over sixty degrees against the
western sides and through the passes of
the Alleghanies. The water thus sud-
denly disengaged from the frozen state
on the mountains and sent on its dis
astrous way to the sea has been con-
siderably increased in volume by the
subsequent heavy rainfalls.
IL is not strange that such conspiring
forces have brought about the un-
raralleled over ow. But the rapidity
with which the work of destruction at
and below Cincinnati has been done
in less than a fortnight from the swell
ing OF the Ohio's headwaters--is hard
to explain. The theory that forests
largely increase the condensation Of
vapor in the clouds has not Eeen fully
made out. But it is certain that the
wholesale clearing of the soil. especial
ly over q vast elevated watershed like
that drained by the Ohio, greatly facili-
tates the rush of waters into the val
leys and precipitates the food. In 18 8
it was reported by one of the Govern
menL surveyors that Great Salt Lake
then averaged ten feet above its level
in l847, and it was suggested that the
settlement of the surrounding country
had so modified the surface OF the land
that more snow and rain found its way
into the lake. II is, OF cour e, impos-
sible to stop the process of deforesting,
but it may be regulated. Every year
that it goes on unimpeded in the Chic
Valley enhances the danger of frequent
and fatal foods. and the statesmen of
the West win do well 10 inquire
whether it would not be better TO en-
courage the importation OF lumber

the bad boy. "There is no sense in such
whistling, What do you whistle for

said the bad boy. 81 have always been

Dogs You see there are dogs lost ev-
cry day, and any man would give half a
dollar to boy to find his dog. 1 can
hire out TO whistle for dogs, and can 90
around whistling and enjoying myself
and make money. Don'ty9u think it is
a good scheme?" asked the boy of the
groceryman.
A lady who suspected her servant of
drinking the cider when she sent him
into the cellar, commanded him to whis.
tie all the time he was absent.
Sailors whistle for fair wind. The
sportsman whistles to his hounds.
He cast OIL his friends as II huntsman his pack
For he knew when he pleased he could whistle
them back.
1t is not considered in good taste for
girls to whistle, and there are very few
who can do it even tolerably well, per-
haps because they are under the spell
of that prediction in doggerel which
some secular st. Paul promulgated for
the sex:
Whistling girls and growing hens
Always come TO some bRd end.
A girl is usually too volatile to
whistle; she Fuckers her rosy mouth,
shuts both eyes, screws up her face, and
just as she gets ready TO whistle goes
Of into fit OF laughter, and spoils it
all. But once in a while some demure
little maiden will whistle, and it is posi-
lively a much more frequent phenorlena
iii nature than hen that crows.
But oh, the whistling ri I've met,
As blithe is she as any bird;
| And from her lips morn, noon and eve,
Ihe mcrrlest OF tr lis are heard;
" From task TO ask with lightsome step
She hasters. whistliDg as she goes;
And her .deft hands charm what they touch
And order from disorder grows"
There is something pathetic in a
whistled tune; the businessman sitting
up at n'ght trying to make his ledgers
balance, hears some late pedestrian, boy
or man, whistle the ''Last Rose of Sum-
mer'' or Bonnie poon,'' and straight
way the pen drops from his tired hand
and the bewildering figures disappear,
and in their place he sees hcme and the
mother who lived there, and he catches
the songof the robins in the old orchard
and the scent Of the sweet briar that
grew by the door.
/ Away, away, tormenting cares,
! OF earth and folly BORN"
He is at home again, and as the un-
known whistler passes on and the ten
der, wandering air dies away, the eyes
of the listener are dim with tears,
| "And his heart is filled with a longing pain
! To be a whistlng boy again."
