The reports of commercial papers all
agree that for some reason or other the
trade OF the present season has been be.
low the general anticipations and even
below that Of last year. A large vol.
ume Of merchandise has been disposed
Of, but there has been little or no none y
in it, Stocks of merchandise continue
heavy; there is no profitable line of in.
vestment; everybody proceeds with ex.
treme caution. And yet all the condi.
tons appear favorable. The prospect
of a short wheat crop ought certainly to
make good price and quick sale for
the large surplus. In the situation gem
orally there appears to be no cause
whatever for the present stagnation,
and so remedy suggests itself. The
problem will work itself out in due
time. but it is dull work. this waiting

The Lilne-Kiln Club.

For some time past there has been ILL.,
feeling between Pike Root Perkins and
the Hon. Justified White, caused by g
dispute over the query: els Life Worth

to open Brother Gardner called the
pair to the head of the hall and said
zone reason why some people decide
dat life am not with de ibin' am be-
kase dey make life burden to DER
selves an very unpleasant to odders.
One real mean man in community kin
make 500 people doubt if virtue am re-
warded on earth One canting hypo-
critic in town kin keep SANDER mill
grindin' night an day. One infdel in
county kin cause 5000 well-meanin'
people to- kinder doubt if dar' am
Heaben or hereafter.
"Bekase you two differ in opinyun
you go at it an help to make life on
pleasant to each odder It doan' strike
you dat anybody else kin be right, or
dat you may be entirely wrong Brud-
der Perkins calls Brother White fule
bekase he can't agree with him. Brud-
der White calls Brudder Perkins bigot
bekase he won't accept his opinyuns.
Each has his friends an supporters, an
desc supporters divide off an feel aige
wise toward each odder, an before we
know it de quarrel has involved 200
people. Gem'len, de pusson who ar
gufies dat life am with de hbin' must
prove his arguments by his ackshuns.
He who feels dat life amt with de
trouble of hangin' aroun' on earth can't
do better dan to walk down to de wharf
hitch grindstun to his neck, an Jump
into water twenty feet deep.
You two brudders take each odder
by the hand. Now shake. Now go to
yer seats. Each one Of you has right
to his theories an beliefs, but neither
of you have de right to denounce de
odder. De world am big huff to hold

A.Rattling Eastern Cyclone.

Philadelphia and vicinity had new OK
perience on Monday afternoon, the 3D. inst
in the shape OF a genuine cyclone. Vessels
were wrecked in the rivers and some lives
lost. One OF the passengers describes the
Scene
He was standing on the upper deck and
saw the black storm approaching, but as it
was q rain storm When it struck
the boat he discovered that it's immense
force came fits rotary motion. He and
several others were thrown through a hole
to the lower deck and all the upper works
were swept away like chaff. Passing over
the river, striking Pitts Island, the storm
passed over that portion of the Twenty
fifth ward Of Philadelphia known as Rich
mond. In its rayages in Camden scores
OF dwelling houses were unroofed and some
OF them thrown down, and the damage to
the business property along the river front
is enormous. Hundreds of families are
rendered homeless. It's path was almost
due north from the Port Richmond coal
wharyes. About $50 dwelling houses were
wrecked or SO badly damaged as to be rem
dered unfit for habitat ton, and 200 fami-
lies were driven from there to be cared for
by their neighbors.
The following are the names OF the killed
and injured as far as can be ascertained:
Emery lOWISenO OF oalem, n. j., pilot OF
the steamboat Maj. Reybold; Charles Daily,
aged forty-nine, a ship carpenter, killed in
stantly by flying timbers at the wharf OF
the American Dredging company, Camden.
Lizzie McVeygh aged ten, crushed to death
between timbers at her home, Philadelphia.
John Dialogue OF Camden, whose works
were destroyed, says: Looking out of the
door upon the river saw the tornado APP
proach. 1couldsee the buildings ofthe Penn
sylvania Salt works on the Philadelphia
side going off like chaff. Then the storm
struck the Major Reybold, which was par
TALLY abreast OF my place. Portions other
upper works were whired fully 400 feet in
to the air. tremendous roaring preced-
ed it.. The moving fury. resembled dense
mass Of rolling black snakes and it Travelled
within ten feet OF the surface OF the water
in the river. singular phenomenon was
noticed. This was a huge ball OF fire, fully
ten feet in diameter, which swiftly accom-
panied the storm cloud.

Nashlnston, Aug. 1.-Dear Sir: I have
read your letter with amazement and indig-

perfdy which your letter discloses and
that is found in the fact that you confess
your share in it. Idon't know whether you
are Democrat or not, but if you are, the
crime which you confess is the more I'M
pardonable. The idea that this admins
tration pledged to give the people better
government and better officers, and engag--
ed in hand-to-hand fight with the
bad elements OF both parties, should
be betrayed By those who ought to.
De WorUhy OF implicit trust, IS atrOclous,
and such treason to the people and to the
party ought to be punished by imprson-
ment. Your confession comes too late to,
be OF Immediate use to the public service,
and can only say that while this is not
the first time have been deceived and mis-
led by lying treacherous representations,
you are the first one that has SO frankly
owned his grievous fault. Ii any comfort
is to be extracted from this assurance you
are welcome to it. Yours truly,
