Recently the mills were kept running at night
for several weeks, filing large orders. The
prospects are very fair for better prices the
will be one Of the largest ever raised in this
State. The wheat crop does not promise so
well. 1t is expected that the crop OF the en-
tire country will be $780, 600, COO bushels less
than last year. This shortage. however, has
had no visible effect on prices as yet.
HARDWARE.
OF all the representative branches OF Sa-
vanDah's trade, this department Is probably
the best handled, and is growing in import
ance every year. 1t, OF course, felt the depres-
sion and the spirit of economy exercised by
the agricultural people, which has curtailed
business somewhat. Prices ruled quite low
during the year, particularly for steel and
IRON products, and, consequently, there were
very small profits. There was quite a large
business done during the year. 1t was, in
fact. heavier than it was the year previous.
The trade was very successful in collections.
The losses were verylittle in amount. There is a
very satisfactory outlook for this year, and
cheerfulness is evident IN the trade. This
branch, like others, feels the effects of comDe-
tition. Slight freight advantages affect trade
very materially. There has been considerable
Southern iron shipped via this port during
the year TO Northern ports. The Central
railroad has brought to the city l,6S9,992
pounds of hardware, and -, us tons Of pig iron
were distributed as follows: Philadelphia,
10, 1888 tons; New York, s, 9S4tons; Providence,
2,S79 tons; Boston, 1852 tons. and Baltimore,
1889 tons. A considerable amoun of it was
handled in this market.

FERTILIZERS.

The past years business IN commercial
fertilizers was q notable one in many respects
The trade has become a very important one
10 savannah. Every year it is increasing.
The business, Of course. is governed TO a great
extent by the cotton trade. Fertilizers, how
cotton producers. The past years
business was carried on, as nearly
a5 possible, on a cash basis. Consequent
" not many Of our merchants AND
manufacturers made losses. Planters were
generally in a better condition han in former
years, and invested more freely in fertilizers.
Another fact Is that the sharp competition of
southern merchants and manufacturers is
last driving the Northern manufacturer out
OF the Southern markets. The past season
witnessed a considerable falling of in the re-
celpts from the North. There are several
reasons for this. The principal one Is the low
prices at which Fertilizers were sold last sea-
son.
The Northern manufacturers were gener-
ally undersOld throughout the cotton belt.
Prices declined considerably during the year,
pclng fully 81 per ton lower in ammoniated
goods towards the close Of the season, and the
average for the year was about S27 per ton.
Inc volume OF trade has increased, but the
shipments do not show it from this port. The
reason IS obvious. A considerable portion OF
the PINE from the nearby ports into
the interior 10 controlled by Savannah capital
anu tue business was done by savannah mer-
chants. Notably is this the case in the mat
ter OF Port Royal shipments. Savannah's
merchants have manufactured and sold two
thirds OF the shipments of that port. 1t is
estlmated that the total amount
OF fertilizers handled by Savannah
capital last year Will approximate more than
iVO,O5O tons. JObbers generally reported col
i~ectl0ns and credits as excellent throughout

The "Vicar Of Bray"

One day when James |. was out hunt
ing, he rode before his dogs and hunts
men to an inn, to seek for luncheon He
jumped off his horse and cal ed for the
landlord. Beef, and ale, pastry-any-
thing will suffice" There is nothing
ready but one roast" said the landlord ;
'and the Vicar of Bray and his curate
are already busy at that; perhaps they
might, as a favor, allow him to join
them" King James caught at the offer,
rushed upstairs, knocked at the door,
and asked permission. The vicar churI-
ishly scowled up from his smoking plate
The curate, jovial and hearty, begged
James to be seated. The king sat down
and piled good knife and fork. He
tossed off his ale; he told good stories !;
he made both his reluctant and his will
ling host roar with laughter. At last
there came the bill The curate put
down his money with careless frankness.
the vicar paid gloomily, but the luckless
guest could not pay at all. "Eh, man !!
Pve left my purse behindn The vicar
saw no joke in this, and. hatly refused
to pay for the suspicious stranger. The
happy aud guileless curate expressed his
pleasure in being able to pay some re-
turn for the amusement he had received,
and paid the strangers share. Then the
three men went out upon the balcony.
A huntsman came riding up, and, seeing
the king leaped Off his horse, and went
down upon one knee in the street. The
sullen vicar threw himself at the feet of
James and begged forgiveness, to which
the king replied: Il shall not turn you
out of your living-you shall remain
vicar of Bray; but 1 shall make my
good friend, the curate, a canon of
Windsor, whence he will be able to
look down both upon you and your vi

spoke up together, eyes; yes; will" So
they came up, one at time. Only few
could write, few more print aud many
had to make little crosses for their names
but all signed it, and Mrs. Donnelly and
Dick, who were both very often panied
by the cruelty of some of the children in
the yard were very happy. Perhaps YOU
will think they all forgotit the next day.
but l know one of them did not, for
some days after Johnnie Morey was seen
with some bits of raw meat and being
asked what he was doing, replied that
he had earned two cents, and with it
bought some meat for poor cat in the
yard that hid in cellar, and didn't have
any home. He was going to take care
of her.
Let us all SOW all the good seed we
can, for it may surprise us by coming up
in what appears to be the most barren
soil.
This is all I can think of to tell about
the party. There was not much money
spent, nor so very much trouble taken,
but l think few Christmas parties have
given more real happiness.
Perhaps you would like to know what
became of Dick Conroy. He is not a
bootblack any longer. He had grand
father away off in Pennsylvania whom he
had never seen. Dick had heard of him,
and sometimes when life seemed very
hard he had threatened to run away and
go to him; but his mother would sigh
and shake her head. Her father had
never forgiven her for her marriage.
But one day there came a letter from
him, saying thatif she would send Dick,
he would give him an education, and
you may be sure she did not delay, for
she loved her boy, and wanted him to
have better chance for himself. And
Dick went, and his grandfather found
him such a good boy that the next year
he sent for his sister, SO they are both
there, we'll and happy, and some day,
perhaps, their mother will go, too"

A Singular Deal.

A circumstance which is certainly
worthy of note took place in a gentle.
mans club room, in Calais, Me-, a few
evenings ago. Four members of the
club, whose names we could mention il
necessary, and whose reliability no one
would question for moment, sat down
to play a social game of whist. A
thorough deal of the cards was made by
one of the number, and the usual cui
made for deal The deal fell TO another
member of the company. He dealt the
cards, and the cut for trumps was mad 6
and the cards given around to the fouI
players. When this was done, one OF
the party laid down his hand, express
ing great surprise on finding he had 18
cards of one namely, spades; a
second party laid down his hand, with
the same surprise, he also having 3 of a
kind, and the third and fourth men now
placed their cards upon the table, re-
vealing the same kind of hands One
of the gentlemen belongs to st. Stephen,
and he held all the trumps. - CaLai,

"The Golden Rule"

Rev. James Reed says: Men natural
ly take superficial view Of human life.
They devote themselves too Closely to
worldly pursuits. But after a brief
space of time their earthly life comes to
an end. They have laid up treasures on
earth, but not in heaven. Life in this
world is but one stage of mans exist
ence, of little moment compared with
the endless existence beyond. The
golden rule" is one of the laws of
heaven. 1t tells us of something we
must do, and which we are not inclined
to do. When the golden rule is adopted
as mans rule of life, he is already a
member of Gods kingdom. One may
ask if the transactions can be conducted
on the principles of the golden rule. II
any one is engaged in any business
which he cannot conduct by the golden
rule, let him abandon it at once. There
is no occasion in life in which the golden
rule Is not applicable, in business. at
home, in the church, everywhere. The
golden rule is the heavenly law of retail
alton. We know that God is love. giv-
ing all the good he can to all who are
ready to receive.

UNDER THE LEA YES.

Into the lap of the bare, brown earth,
Stripped of her beautiful golden sheaves,
AS if in sympathy for her dearth,
Flutter and nestle the autumn leaves
And the lonely landscape hides away
Her face, deep lined with sad decay,
Under the leavesi
Down from the tall old forest trees,
The leafy showers gently fall,
And taking the wings of the passing breeze
Softly they cover the earth like pail,
Ali would that we the past might fold,
OF blighted hopes and dreams untold,
Under the leaves!
Under the leaves of the flying years
Oh, strive, thou weary soul, to lay
The care and sorrow, the bitter tears,
The dreary burden of yesterday
Away deep down in the hearts recess,
Under the leaves of forgetfulness,
Under the leaves!

A peculiar incident occurred near
Clarksville, in the Allegheny, N. " oil
field, the other day, with one of thes,
large torpedoes The shell contained
l2O quarts, and was successfully lowered
and fired. The conclusion not only
opened up the oil pool, but it blew out
the six-inch iron casing through the top
of the derrick to an altitude of nearly
two hundred feet, from which point it
descended back into its original place
and four feet further down. just as ii
settled into place the well began flow
