Mischief is Wrought

By bad cooking, tough meats, late hours,
business worries, irregular hvers, sour
dispositions, evil digestion and impure
blood. Much Of this mischief can be
overcome by the use of Browns Iron
Bitters-the best tonic ever made. Mrs.
Emile Crawford, ReidsyilIe, Ga, writes,
"After trying Browns Iron Bitters, we
are persuaded that it is all that it claims
to be-a good and reliable tonic" Thou
sands of others speak in like manner.

GENERAL ITEMS.

The cholera plague so far from
being stamped out in France has
spread into Spain, Switzerland and
Italy. 1t is believed by many that
it has even made its appearance in
England, but has been kept from pub
lie knowledge by the authorities.
Our daily advices shows that with
the spread of the disease it becomes
more virulent. In many instances it
proves fatal in few hours.
1t has been announced by our ma
tlonal sanity officials that there is
no immediate danger of the pestilence
in this country, at least not before
the first of next June, but this as
sumption rests upon very slight
grounds. For some months to come
the restrictions upon the importation
of rags should be kept in force, and
the virtues Of a reasonable quarantine
system should be tested.
The health officials of every city
and town should continue the work
of sanitary reform. If we clean up
all the filthy back streets and alleys,
the time, money and labor thus ex-
pended will be one of the best invest
ments that could be made. Not
only will such preventive work have
q tendency to keep cholera away, but
it will ward off malignant fevers,
diptheria and smallpox. The scav-
enger is an important man in COM
munity just now, and he should put
in his work we'll.

Eastern TiesUs ofths Coal Trade.

Ne1u York.-Bituminous Goals re-
main the same +; that is low prices
and little demand. The average
quantity is being produced-Mining
Record.
There are parties in the soft coal
trade who are inclined to talk up
their branches of business and speak
of an improvement therein, but it is
hard work to bring this about while
there is so much coal due on old &C.
counts-which can be made to cover
any transient trade that may be had.
The business is being done on the
basis of low rail and water freights,
and We cannot see that there is any
thing of improvement visible in
prices. The several districts are put
ting out their average quantity,
which is above the tonnage for the
same period last year, and this is no
doubt partially the cause of the low
price at which this quality Of coal is
sold, for there is not such an amount
of new trade to be gained as has been
supposed. Whether it be great or
small, the entire output has been
sold at low prices, and not alone that
amount necessary to induce change
from one quality to another. A pos
sible suspension of probationary a
strike OF the miners-would not help
the market price, for the contracts
ere made tor all probable require
ments.-Coal Trade Journal.
In the bituminous market, there is
nothing to report, beyond the con-
tinuance of the depression heretofore
quoted. The consumption of this
class of coal is evidently increasing,
but has not yet reached a point to
bring out any notable reaction in the
matter of prices. There has been z
tendency at Baltimore toward an ad-
vance in sea freights, owing to a
scarcity of vessels at that point, al
though figures from Philadelphia
have not yet changed. 1t appears
probable that as the season progress
as there must be an advance in prices
as we'll as freights, and consumers
who use this class of fuel would be
wise if they put in their stocks un.
der the very favorable conditions
now existing.
