In former years many Northwestern
ers have fed to Florida for winter
recreation, but this ~seasonthe tenden-
cy is towards New Orleans, where there
are bstter accommodations and a vast
deal more to engage the attention OF
tourists. New Orleans in winter is as
gay as Paris, and invalids find abundant
sources of amusements not to be found
at other southern resorts.

Beecher was charged in a newspaper
with visiting Mrs. Langtrys's perform
ance, but he pleads an alibi, that ne
was in Boston at the time stated, and
suggests that he has a double who
makes him trouble, and wants some
n to ''catch him, examine him in the
ology and make him preach, and SO de-
tect the rascal" Beecher does not go
so far as to intimate that his "double"
got him into ''his great sorrow" as he
calls 1.-THE Tilton scandal.

Governor Bourne of Rhode Island,
tells the people of this little State some
plain truths about the growth of the
divorce scandal. 1t seems that the
ratio of divorces to marriages is con-
stantly increasing, and already has
reached the proportion of n divorce
to nine and seven-tenths marriages.
This ratio becomes, as the Governor
says, absolutely startling" when it is
considered that probably a third of the
population are Roman Catholics and
therefore cut off from divorce entirely,
since this would make the proportion
among the rest of the people as high as
one to every six OF seven marriages,
A large majority of the divorces We're
granted without opposition, and by col
fusion between the parties, upon ex-
parte dispositions. The ease with which
the marriage tie is severed in Rhode
Island has become so notorious that
outsiders often go to the State and stay
long enough to obtain the legal "resi-
dence" required, IN order to procure
divorces which they could not hope tC
get elsewhere.

Horrible sensation.

A sensation has been created at Dayton, o.
by the discovery Of the fact that Miss Hockwalt,
a young woman of high social connections, who
was supposed died suddenly Jan. 20, was bur
led alive, The horrible truth was discovered a
few DAYS ago, and since then it has been the
talk of the city. 1t is stated that when the coffin
was opened it was discovered that the supposed
inanimate body had turned upon its right side.
The hair Of the head had been torn out in hand
fuls and the fingers had been bitten from the
bones. The body was reinteTTed and efforts
made to conceal the case, but there are those
who state that they saw the body and know the
truth of the facts narrated.

Prof. Thompson, of Glasgow, says
the magnetic pole is now more than a
thousand miles west of the geographic
al pole. In 1857 the position of the
needle showed the position of the mag
netic pole to be due north. 1t had
been eastward before that it then be-
gan to point westward, and this west
ward variation continued to increase
until 1916, when the maximum was at
tanned; it has since steadily diminished,
and in 1876 it will again point to the
true north. The present whereabouts
of the giddy thing is Boothia Felix.

SOME CRUMBS OF COMFORT.

It is cheering to note that there are many things which indicate that business is really improving. A good many suspensions of industry reported from day to day, but there are now some assumptions. For in stance, the Fall River cotton mills are all running again upon the stifening of prices in the print-cloth market, and the general opinion is that no further suspensions will be necessary. The sales of wool in the Bos- ton market last week were very large, amounting during the five business days to over four million pounds. Only twice be- fore this year have the sales been so large, and for the previous five weeks they have not amounted to half 80 much. The i'm provement, therefore, is marked. It shows that manufacturers need supplies, and, sstis- fed that present prices will be sustained in the future, have bought freely.
 In other lines of trade there has also been an improvement. The Boston Advertiser notes that more movement has been reported in it's market columns in leather, both sole and upper, with cautious buying by manu- lecturers. Tanners have bought hides in large quantities the past ten days. Cotton goods have been more active, and commission houses have made immense sales to jobbers. Some advances in prices have been made in brown and bleached cottons. Print cloths, from being drug, have become active, and prices have been advanced nearly quarter of 8 cent yard. Cotton has advanced from ga cents only Q short time ago to 10 7-16 cents, and the export demand has been large. The export movement in breadstuffs and provi- sions has also greatly increased, and the freight room in steamers has been engaged ahead almost until next year. Packers of provisions in Boston have more orders from abroad than they can fill, and the daily receipt of cables is al most unprecedented. Even in what might be termed the small article of apples, the export movement is immense; the shipments last year were 59, ,389 barrels, making total for the season thus far of 391, 1856 barrels. The mild weather has caused late building operations, with a larger employment of mechanics and in- creased consumption of lumber The s'neces- saries of life" are lower than year ago, while wages have been but slightly reduced. There are now in Boston over fifty representatives of the boot and shoe jobbers in different sec tions of the country, and they are placing or ders with even more confidence than week ago.
 All this is very encouraging. There is certainly good reason to believe that ''the
 times'' are going to be better soon. Proba-
 ply there will not be a 'tboom' immediately,
 but steady and gratifying improvement in
 the business situation may reasonably be looked for.

The Supreme court of Massachusetts has decided that medical mountebanks must ac- eept the consequences of their acts; that if, in ignorantly administering medicine, the nature and probable effect of which they do not understand, they kill somebody, they are guilty of crime, and subject to the penalty therefor. This is in accord with common sense.

Those who like codfish needn't go hungry this winter unless they are extremely poor. The catch of codfsh this year has been enor- nous. In fact, such huge quantity was brought home from the Banks that it has proved disastrous to the fishermen and own CTS of fishing vessels. On every quintaI of fish (112 pounds) coming to Boston, as the central market of the United States, the curer loses, on the average, $1. The receipts at Boston last week, on dull market, were 1,200, 900 pounds Retailers can buy the best codfish in market at 3 cents per pound, the ''boneless" at or 5 cents.
