WE are not becoming. but have be-
come, nation of gamblers, says the
Pittsburgh Times. That sounds harsh,
but the facts and the figures are at
hand to sustain the assertion. In the
Stock, Oil, and Cotton Exchanges of
New York, despite the depression that
prevailed during 1894, the total of the
transactions runs into billions. In the
Stock Exchange the par value of all the
securities dealt in is stated at $1,O11-
600, sos, 010.99. The commissions of
the brokers amounted to $4,000, 900,
an average of more than $4,000 for
each member. In the four oil ex-
changes, at New York, Oil City, Brad
ford. and Pittsburgh, the sales foot up
6,561, 823, 61S.S0. In cotton, the mag
nitude of the speculative business is
made manifest by the fact that the en-
tire crop Of 1883 and 1884. amounting
to 4, SOC, 900 bales, was sold nearly five
times over in the New York Exchange
Alone or about ten years crop to one
years sales. At the Produce Exchange

In all things preserve integrity; and
the consciousness OF thine own upright
ness will alleviate the toll OF business,
soften the harness of ill-success and
disappointments, and give thee q
humble confidence before God, when
the ingratitude Of man or the iniquity
of the times may rob thee of other re-

TINES are hard, and no mistake, but
that does not prevent Mrs. James p.
Scott, of Philadelphia, from giving a
grand bali in her half-million dollar
house. And the fact that hundred
thousand or more men are ont of work
in Pennsylvania did not prevent the oc-
casion from being gratifying success.
The account says: "The house is
lighted by electricity, and subdued
oolored effects were introduced to give
variety to the spectacle. The elite of
Philadelphia society was fully repre-
scented. and there were some noted
beauties from other cities. 1t was the
greatest and most brilliant event of the
winter. The loveliest ladies and the
handsomest men, dressed to perfection
- characters from the operas, and IN
magnificent costumes, made, in many
instances. for the occasion, crowded
the superb halls that are decorated
with the delf and art treasures of
Europe, and danced in the quadrilles
and various fancy dances. A dancing
master from New York directed sew
eral special fancy dances, in one of
which twenty of the greatest beauties
in the city, all of them brunettes,
danced the Spanish bolero with fans
and castanets. A group of twenty club
men appeared in red swallow-tail coats
lined with white satin, embroidered
white vests, and black trousers"

developing tnelr resources.
The next thing to follow the Princess
Beatrice's marriage engagement will be
the wrangle in Parliament over the
Government allowance which will, Of
course, be demanded for her by the
Queen. AS the coming husband is
penniless O round sum will he necessa-
ry in order to set the young couple up
in housekeeping comfortably, and the
row raised by the M. P.'s will DO in
proportion to the size of the portion
asked for. Come to think of it, how
ever, the Princess and her beloved are
not to be permitted to enjoy their love
in cottage or in any domicile OF their
own, but must remain with the royal
mamma of the bride. Whether the
impression is correct or not, feeling
prevails in this part Of the world, at
least, that the wise and most ex-
cellent Queen is not an agreeable per-
son to live with, and that Princess Bea-
trice has had rather more of her parents
exclusive society than is reasonable,
considering the fact that number of
other children, not to speak of grand
children. are in existence, and should
help bear the brunt. The elders may
claim that, being married, they had
other duties to perform, hut it may be
noticed that they take goo care to re-
main at long range, whe lier absorb
ingly occupied or not. iarticularly is
this the case with the sons ana daugh-
ters-in-law. The world atlarge wishes
the Princess Beatrice well, especially
so as being in some sense ill-used, and
trusts that her husband will not be so
in awe of his mother-in-law that he will
absent himself from her side more than
is agreeable, or find it necessary to hunt
a separate clearinghouse for himself
before the honeymoon is ended.
