The Pot Dispatch in speaking Of
the revival of trade says:
Business has certainly reached a
safe and healthy condition through
the failures and liqu datons of the last
three years. Haw" touched bottom,
the rebound, wA, rerybody seems
TO be waiting for and expecting, should
certainly be felt this spring. There is
no lack of openings for enterprise, o.
materials for business, or of money to
do business with with. There is an
unusually large surplus in the banks,
those of New York especially having a
surplus Of $50, ooo, 900 lying idle and
offered at from to 4 per cent. The
unloaned surplus in the banks, equal
to twice or thrice the legal reserve, is
all money received for debts. or with
drawn from mere speculation and
awaiting the calls of legitimate busi-
ness at very low rate OF interest.
The new administration is developing
a policy calculated to inspire the busi-
ness interests with assurance of good,
safe government for the next four
years, and with neither foreign wal
nor domestic disturbance to threaten
US, and everything ready for revival
of industry and trade, 1t viii be strange
if the general anticipation of such a
revival does not speedily bring ii
about.

The Forces Of England and Of Russia

Russia has more soldiers and more
ships OF war than any other country IN
the world. In her standing army there
are 10000 men ard she has 35S ships
IN her navy. 1t cost $125,oo 900 a
year to keep her military establish
ment on their peace footing, and her
military authorities say they can place
$4,000 trained men under arms in
war time. The English standing army
is 1S2, 900 men. This includes the
English regular troops serving in India
The English War Office authorities
profess TO be able to put 64a,ooo well
drilled and effective British troops in
the field if called or to do so. This
does not include the Indian auxiliary
forces, which would swell the British
forces at home and abroad to over
1000, 900 men. 1t costs England
$9o,ooo,ooo a year 20 keep up its reg
ular army. In 1858 there were $4,000
Irish soldiers in the Engllsh army !;
now there are only $1,000. In 1858 a
great number of Irishmen from the
Tipperary, Armagh, Kilkenn, and
other Irish militia regiments volunteer
ed for active service, and were sent to
the Crimea. The English navy con-
tains ass ships. But while the Rus
sian navy contains more vessels than
the English navy, il must be remem-
bered that England spends three times
as much on her navy as Russia spends
on hers.

Illinois Letter.

CLAYTON, Ill, APP. o.
DEAR GRAPHIc.-We have waited
long for spring, but it is here in all Its
glory. Some OF our farmers are done
sowing oats, but most of them have
just begun plowing. This part of
Adams county does not produce much
wheat, as it is principally stock coun-
try; therefore our farmers devote more
attention TO the raising of corn, oats,
and grass. l have examined several
wheat fields and fad them in good con-
dition, although there is great COM
plant about the winter wheat being
killed farther east Of US. The farmers
have gone to work 10 good earnest
this spring and are preparing to plant
large acreage in corn. Farmers are
paying from SIC to $2a per month for
hands. according to the length of
term. Our spring election comes off
tomorrow and our primaries were
held lass Saturday. This township

candidate, Henry Bartlett, one OF our
best and most influential citizens. He
has been twice Supervisor from this
town, and always gave full satisfaction
to his constituents. The democrats
nominated "mugwutnp" republican

L Mathematician Corrected.

From the Adelaide, Australia. Chronicle.
When the late Prof Phelps was j
graduate student at Cambridge, he
took a walk one morning with Prof.
Newton, man who lives in a world
of mathematics and simply exists in
the common world of ordinary things.
Prof. Newton, as is his habit, started
off on the discussion of an absIuse
problem. AS the Professor went
deeper and deeper, Mr.. Phelps mind
wandered further aud further from
what was being said. At last Mr..
Phelps attention was called back to
his companion by the Professor wind
ing up with: (Which you see gives
us'x'." Does t2' asked Mr.. Phelps
thinking that IN poIiteuess he ought tc
reply something. why, doesn't it a

alarmed at the possibility that flaw
had been detected in his calculations

work. There had indeed been mis-

To KEEP CELLARS FROM FREEzlNG.-A
cheap and very effective way to raise the
temperature in cellar that is dangerously
near the freezing point is to set one or more
common kerosene lamps on the cellar bot
tom during the day time, when not wanted
for lighting the rooms above. We have all
noticed how much warmer living room IS
in the evening, when the lamps are burning
than in the day time with the same amount
of fire in the stoves or furnaces. All the
heat from burning lamp is retained IN 'he
apartment. twenty-five cents worth OF
kerosene oil will throw out surprising
amount of heat, and in many cases 1t Woulo
be the cheapest means for keeping a cellar
from freezing during the passage OF an extra
cold wave. Cold waves may spoil a Wln-
ter's store of vegetables, which IN many
instances might be saved by this simple eA-
pedient. Cellars that are properly pro-
tected from frost by tight underpin,
inc. and if needed, banks of leaves or
evergreen boughs, or even banking up with
snow, rarely freeze during the coolest
weather in winter, but sometimes an ah,
usual cold snap, or long continued period
of cold, may endanger the potatoes anu
other stores even in pretty tight cellars,
especially if plenty of fires are not Kept
burning in the rooms above.-Sc'enttpc
