MISCELLANEOUS.

Business failures for the week num-
bered $50, against 34e the previous week, 257
in the corresponding period of 1884. Brad
streets Journal says the late interruption in
the movement OF freight East from the
Northwest has resulted in an accumulation
of produce at Chicago and elsewhere West
and the East-bound trunk lines have
had for the time being more than
they could promptly forward. Special
kilograms to Brddstreet's report the
most hopeful feeling respecting the out
look for an improvement in general trade at
50. Paul, MINI. There was a slight improve
ment in the condition of business at Law
renee Kan, at Memphis, Tenn, and at San
Francisco, although at the latter city no re
suits of the Improvement were yet visible.
The dry-goods distribution from Chicago Is
spoken OF more favorably, but that of boots
and shoes is not. The movement or general
merchandise from that city shows very little
gain, but there is considerable confidence for
the future At st. Louis, New Orleans, and
Cincinnati trade is very quiet. Philadelphia
sales are for actual wants only. In the East
the print cloth makers are accommodating
stocks and prices are again tend
ing downward The boot and shoe indus
try at Boston is promising better
movement. At New York general trade is
dull. The iron and steel industry at the East
furnishes no encouraging features. The wool
trade has been moderately active at well sus-
tanned prices In grocery staples several
largo houses report increased orders from
the south, but the volume of trade is re-
stricted when compared with year ago.

The INDECENT widow and Her Piano.

A clerk in the counting-room of a
prominent New York paper told me OF
an ingenious scheme, which imagine
has never been exposed. A respect
ably dressed and looking
woman came into the Office as il she
owned it, and was rather proud of the
fact, slammed down an advertisement
with the requisite change on the coun-
ter, and smiled affably upon the clerk.
"Still another?" asked the clerk, bright
ly. Still another" repeated the
woman. "This time it's beauty, too.
Come to me, you know, when you want
one." She smiled again and drifted
out of the room. "For three years, !"
said the clerk, shat woman has had an
advertisement in the paper every day,
announcing that she has for sale at her
residence q piano which will go at O
bargain. The advertisement invariably
states that the instrument has only
been in use week, and is in every re-
spect as good as new, but that sudden
reverses in fortune and decision to
move out of town force the owner to
sell at once. I thought for the first
five or six weeks that her ladyship was
having hard time to sell her piano.
Then began to smell mouse. One
winter night she was obliged to wait
here long time for car, and talk
led her into confession that she sold
pianos in this way as regular bust
ness. She has an arrangement with
the manufacturer, by which he fur
nishes her fresh piano as soon as the
last one is sold, and as they are all of
cheap make, but rather snowy, they
manage to go off very well. She is
anxious to keep her business very quiet,
but it has been noised abroad, until
she now has several competitors, and
the Sunday papers will invariably have
the names of four widows who are
obliged to sell their pianos at once.
Every one of them makes good living
by it, Brooklyn Eagle.

The Woman Who Works at Home.

/ notice, says Chicago lady, that In
all Of this talk about what is designated
as women's labor the everyday routine
work of the housekeeper is ignored.
There is no reference to the work OF the
women whose lives are passed in home
making and housekeeping. They are
not considered as active workers. They
are regarded as a negative, non-produc-
tive class. Yet the profession of the
housekeeper is regarded as the most
natural and proper avocation OF women.
There is no other trade so complex.
None more difficult. Add to this the
cares of motherhood, and what else can a
woman engage in which will so COM
pletely absorb every energy OF which
she is capable? To be good house
wife and mother is by no means the oc-
cupation of an idler. Perhaps my
notions are obsolete; but / think the
woman who creates comfortable home
and raises children worthy manhood
and womanhood is the noblest work OF
God, and is quite as much of q producer
as the woman who writes book, in
vents some machine, or follows pro
fession. Chicago NetCs.
