NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE close Of the week
shows a very good volume Of business having
been completed in staple and colored cottons,
prints, ginghams and other wash fabrics, dress
goods and cotton hosiery. The tone OF the mar
ket is much better Merchants from all parts
of the country Gre more hopeful, confidence is
growing steadily and the outlook for spring busi-
ness is much improved as compared with week
ago. Buyers are making up their spring stock.
but are very conservative in their dealings, yet
for the week the aggregate movement has been
OF very good proportions.

Fate could offer to mortal lips. Oh,
that he could have fallen by the side Of
his friend in the proud battle!-that
he could have met the Indian toma-
hawk, and died in the strength OF his
manhood, and not have been doomed
to linger out his life in days and nights
of pain and agony, and to died by
piecemeal in childish despair!
While these thoughts were passing
through his mind, the horseman, q me-
gro, regained the licks and alarmed the
people with the intelligence that the
Indians we're approaching On being
interrogated, all the account he could
give was that some person had called
to him in the woods, half mile of,
and called him by the wrong name.
It was manifest it wss not Indians,
and forthwith number OF men set out,
guided by the negro. to the place.
Crisis hopes again revived
when he heard voices, and
saw lights approaching. They came
near and hailed. Crist new the
voice, and called to the man by name
This removed all doubt, and they ap.
preached the spot.
A sad and mournful sight was before
them. A man that had left them but
few days before in the bloom of
youth, health, and buoyant spirits, now
lay stretched upon the earth, worn
and mangled skeleton, unable to lift
hand to bid them welcome.
They bore him home. The ball was
extracted. bat his recovery was slow and
doubtful. It was year before he was
man again.
The woman in the boat was carried o
prisoner to Canada. Ten years after
ward Crist met her again in Kentucky.
She had been redeemed by an Indian
trader, and brought to Wayne's camp
on the Maumee, and restored to her
friends. She informed Crist that the
body of Indians which made the attack
on the boat numbered over 120, of
whom about thirty we're killed in the
engagement.
The account was confirmed by the
Indians that Crist met with afterward,
and who had been in the battle. They
told Crist that the boats crew fought
more like devils than men, and II they
had taken one of them prisoner, they
would have roasted him alive
Crist was afterward member Of the
Kentucky Legislature, and in 1908 was
member of Congress. He died at his
residence in Bullitt county, in August,
1884, aged 80 years.

A Strange Scene from Real Lif,.

II have been travelling q good many
years, remarked q commercial salesman,
land have seen some queer incidents,
but the most peculiar sight ever saw
was at country town in Ohio. Our
train drew up to the station, when
saw there quite a crowd. It didn't
seem to be q political crowd, either.
Looking closer discovered that there
were two crowds. At one end Of the
station stood number Of carriages.
From them jumped lot of we'll
dressed, happy-looking people--young
men and ladies. They bade good-by
to blushing young couple, and there
was much handshaking and kissing,
peals of laughter and innocent jokes.
1t was wedding party, and the happy
couple were starting on their tour by
palace car.
"At the other end of the station tho
people seemed entirely different. They
were exceedingly solemn. The men
were silent and looked down to the
ground, while the ladies were all in
black, and most OF them wore wells.
The two parties did not seem to notice
each other, st least they didn't want to
appear to recognize each Others pres
ence, though they were only few feet
apart This unhappy looking party
stood about hearse, and As the train
came to . stand-still / saw coffin
lifted from the bag9age-car and placed
in il amid subdued weeping. At the
Same moment the welded couple were

THE SEWING CIRCLE.

On . pleasant day In winter,
When the ground with snow Was covered,
In the thriving country village,
At the home OF Deacon Bowen
Met the ladies sewing circle:--
Circle where the ladies gather,
Wherc the ladies meet together.
Where they drink their tea and chatter
All about the news and fashfons,-
Al about their neighbors prospects,
All about their neighb0rs' 1ailings,
Also, after tea, the husbands,
And the m NY sons and daughters.
Came to fill the spacious mansion
OF the good old pecon Brown:
There was Mai. Dun and sister,
Deacon Castor's wife and daughter,
Lawyer Huntley's wife and mot her,
Grandma Rider, with h knitting.
always letting down some stitches,)
There was DR. Eli Rathburn.
With his kindly words ana wishes.
Wishing 'ali wer ewell' that evening.
Hopping he should find some ailing,-
this. his mental reservation.l
And the young unmarried parson--
Pareon Obadiah Potter
Taking to the maids and spinsters:
Also came the village blacksmith,
With his wife and childrea seven:
And from school came lads and lasses,
With them came the young schoolmlstress
And, IN short, . goodiy number
Did assemble 1t the circle,
4ore than thriqe ths sasl Il M

Z Why did Deacon Bowens mansion
Draw so many, many people?
What tht X you could be the reason?
What could be the gr at attraction?
Deacon Bowen kept boarder,
Kept the young, nnn ,rrted parson-
Parson Obadiah Potter
Who was looking for q partner
'Mcngst the fair ones OF the parish:
SO said Rumor, ever busy,
Busy with the news and gossip.
Just before tha next months meeting
OF the ladies' sewing circle,
Parson Potter wen journey
Journey to his native village.
Soon he came back to his parish,
And was met by all his people:
Not alone he gave them greet ng.
With him came dark-eyed lady,
And the parson c. lied that lady
Mrs. Obadiah Potter.
Now the ladies' sewing circle
Has about its usual number.

they were more than hall . mile of,
and how was he to reach them? He
had not eaten morsel in four days; he
had been drained Of almost his last
drop of blood; the wounded leg
had become 30 stiff and swollen that
for the last two days and nights he had
dragged it after him; the flesh was
worn from his knee and from the
palms OF his hands
Relief was in sight, but to reach it
was impossible. Suddenly he heard
the tramp OF horses feet approach
ing him. aud hope sprang up once
more in his breast. The sound came
nearer and still more near. A path
ran near the place whore he lay; q
man on horseback approached within q
few rods Of him; he mustered his re-
naming strength and hailed him; but,
to his utter surprise and dismay, the
horseman turned suddenly and gal
loped off toward the licks.
Despair now seized him. To die

mileage Added in the hst year was enough !:
and yet. with the exception Of few paral-
lei and unnecessary lines. it can not be said
that railway building has been overdone.
In general the roads built were needed for
the development Of the regions which they
enter, and there is room for large amount
more OF new construction of this character.
The following is our statement Of the new
mileage added in the different States and
Territories, arranged in what may be called
the nine natural geographical subdivisions
Of the country. 1t should be understood
that these figures show main line only, and
do not include side tracks, or second tracks,
Of which many miles have been laid. The
intention also is to report only the mileage
actually laid down since Jan. !, 1854, and
hence we have thrown ont considerable
number Of miles officially reported to us a.
built during the past year, but on which
we know the rails to have been laid in 1883,
and which were included in the report Of
that year.:
