it had written t O a friend in st. Paul stat
ing that he was out Unemployment, and in

were there. The reply began as follows:

During eight centuries says a
CORES 2ondent ofNature, zones direct
ancestors amount to a far greater
number than would be contemplated.
Taking three generations to a CEN
tury, one has father and mother
(twol grandparents -FOUR the great
grandparents, (eight). Attic end of
the second century the number OF
ancestors springs to sixty-four. Fol-
lowing the calculation, you will find
that atthe end of eight centuries one
is descended from no less than 16,-
600, 900 ancestors. Intermarriage, OF
course, would reduce this estimate,
and there is nc doubt it must have
largely prevailed. But the figures are
so enormous that, in spite of all, /
venture to suggest that the words,
aIyVfe brethren, are literallytrue. /"
Certainly, and if the calculation goes
far enough back, it must inevitably
narrow down to the original pair,
the commonfather and mother.

Encouraging for Business.

Bradstreet's Journal, in its commercial
summary of the 18th says: The condition
of general trade is quite as favorable as that
mentioned ut any previous date within sew
eral weeks past. The steadiness and strength
manifested by the demand fOrdry goods and
for wooden fabrics nave encouraged many
dealers at eastern distributing centers to
look for steadiness in the movement. 1t
may be added that the gain in the demand
for pig iron tends in some degree to inspire
the confidence manifested in various quar-
tiers that turn in the It'd has at last taken
place and that the increase in cOnsump-
ton Of staple commodities may preserve
q steady. growth. 1t is a welcome sign
that no boom is d]iscernible many direction.
The Financial and Commercial Chronicle
of the 18th says; The exchanges for five
days, a. received by telegraph this evening,
do not differ materially from the figures Of
the preceding period, the gain in aggregate
being $3,515,372. The comparison with
last year, however, is more favorable, the
increase in the whole country reaching 10.4

The horrible anti Chinese riot i'll Wy

cruelties, has already awakened wide
spread commiseration for the victims
and general dctestatiOn for the rioting
miners. The Chinese government may
have just cause to demand PREPARATION
of the American nation for this wan-

The Chicago Times, reviewing thelate
river convention says: "But after
their excitement has somewhat sub
sided it may occur to some OF them
that not all the people of the United
States are as liberal with the public
money DIS they are, and that they have
demanded so much that they may
again come off as they didlast winter,
with nothing ut all. There is some
reason to think that congress would
have been more impressed if the water
way men had exercised a little more
modesty."

demonstration. That the crop IN the

more than one third, of last year, has
been ascertained by thorough and reliable
investigation. Owing TO the drought in
