BUSINESS
A Number OF Lynn saoe Manufacturer


Boston, August THE Herald says:
"Thsre were reports in Lyn1 this morning Of
several failures on account OF the suspension
of Cherries w. Clements among email manu-
fsctureTs.. Most of the shoes made by them
were for Cly ments's trade. Samuel Gale was
amopg those reported as embarrassed. None
Of the factories affected by the Clements fail
ure employ over thirty or for'y hands, and it
is said their suspen ion will be only tempo
rary. The Shaw failure is thought to be
more far-reacbiug in its effects upon some of
Lynn's business men than the public has YET
bsen given 10 Understand. c. II. Wards
statement, il Is thought, will be peculiar, and
places one Of the city's fnauciers 10 a posi-
ZION which he was not thought to occupy. Ii
is asserted that several suspensions will &C.
cur among small Lynn manuf 4cturers during
the ensuing few days. but it is thought no
large amounts will be involved in any case"

New York Herald: Last Sunday he sug-
gestion was made rom a New York pulpit
thst there was room Tor a new society, which
should teach husband aud wife their duties
to each other. Such an organization would
be US fdl only 10 the event Of branch socie-
ties, consisting of two members each, being
formed in families consisting solely or prin-
cipslly Of married c3upl,s. The first article
Of the constitution should be that any person
applying for membership should sOlemnly
coy,nan and agree that throughout married
life be or she woald car,fully otssrve and
practice all courtesy, though fdlness and un-
selfi shness peculiar TO what is kro.n IS the
Engagement" period; the second article
should be that neither member of a c~opjugsl
partnership should listen 10 q single word OF
criticism Of the other member t ON any rela-
tive whatever, even should the words OF wis
dom drop from the lips OF father, mother,
brother or sister. The rules Of the society
need not extend beyond these two, for there
would be nothing in The conduct Of members
in good s:audiDg to require special atten-
lion.

MISSION.

THE TENNESSEE con-
MISSION.
The Tennessee railroad commissioners
have not, as yet, come prominently before
the public, but We zee them mentioned occa.
sionally in different papers Of the State.
They are iuquiring and examining SO as to
be prepared for intelligent and rational &C.
ton whenever their assistance may be re-
quireJ, and that will be whenever the raj.
roads by extortion, by unjust discrimin ,tion,
or by wrong against the people make their
interfereuce necessary. The railroads do not
like railroad commissions, bat they will find
the commissioner of no disadvantage TO
them if they choose 80 10 act as 10 give them
no opportunity to interfere. 1t il this sort Of
preventive Influence that is one Of the most
valuable things about a railroad commission.
1t is a good dog that catches the burglar
that has got into the house, but it is a better
that keeps the burglar from getting in. The
commissioners were 10 Chattanooga last
week, the Chattanooga Democrat reports that
"Both gentlemen stated that The commission
desired 80 frvo-tse- presenrrefaefons
Of shippers toward the various railroads,
and TO investigate some complaints of over
charges; that 20 far they had reason to con.
graduate themselves on the reduction in the
rates of freight on certain goods that had
been made voluntarily by the railroads since
the LIST OF July, and that many shippers had
expressed themselves as ~satisfied with I! Q
present rates ON that line Of goodg. In an
swer 10 the question as to why such reduction
had not been made sooner, Col. Savage ex-
planned that the first six important sections
Of the act defining the duties of the
commission were not operative until
that date as they related TO suits
the manner of conducting them, etc, and
that possibly this may hsve influenced this
action Of The roads somewhat, although he
had every reason to believe they were dig
posed TO be liberal in their dealings with the
public" The commissioners said they had
found most Of the railway superintendent
disposed TO facilitate their work, and that
when the duties of the commissioner were
clearly understood their powers would sell
dom be invoked. The commissioners find
their work simplided and made more certain
by the clear laying down Of the principle, by
the United States Supreme Court, that the
roads are creatures Of the State and must
obey its requirements, and that one Legisla-
ture cannot grant charters in a way that
limits the powers Of its successors. Gen.
Gordon remarked, this is but Just and
proper, when the fact is considered that at
IL -
was comparatively thinly populated, and
transportation uncertain and expensive.
Under these circumstances a road might be
perfectly justified in charging the highest
rates permitted under its charter; but it
would be manifestly unjust to continue these
charges after the country had become thickly
populated, and the road had. in many in
stances, for several months each year, more
business than it could mansge.

THE DE
In case OF hotel fires with loss of life we
hear much Of the temporary occupants OF the
rooms, of their escapes, or losses, or death,
but there is another class of sufferers ia such
calamity whose fate is peculiarly trsgic-the
servant girls. These are usually lodged Just
under the roof, and when the alarm of FIRE
arouses them from sleep what is their condi-
ton? At five or six stories from the ground
there is no prospect OF help from the put
side. To get down below is generally only
to plunge where the FIRE has already full do
minion. The occupants CT the lower rooms
have mostly escaped, and from room to room
the flames are leaping and the corri-
doris and halls are filled with smoke.
Five or Elk pairs of stairs TO
the ground, and up those stairs
the smoke is rolling from the fur
mace Of fame below, dsrkeniug every
turning, filling the lungs and adding to the
confusion that sudden awakening and all the
instincts Of fear have aroused. Under the
roof! while below the flames are roaring and
cracking, and the heat adds its sitting hor-
rors to the other terrors Of night and dark
ness and approaching fame. There, under
the roof, are those poor girls, bewildered,
calling upon God, upon the names of those
uhe are dear TO them. They push on in the
darkness amid the smothering, binding
smoke. One trips; others fall over her, and
a hecstomb is thus heapsd for the sacrifice.
Some rush 10 the windows, but only TO gaze
down upon a thousand upturned faceS,
in not one Of which is to be read
a ray of hope. No escape. Young,
full of vigor, an hour ago bounding
with a~nticipations, and now dealh-and such
death! To be seized by the hot fame aud
devoured, limb by limb! The windows be-
fore and the FIRE behind-what wonder that
some in their wild terror leap madly into the
void, preferring the instant fate to the sp-
proach of the fame that comes on inch by
inch, that cannot be conquered, cannot be
escaped But why go on? The details of
many a hotel fire have briefly summarized
