prospects ahead.
The little Graves homestead no Ion

One autumn evening, tall, grave,
middle aged gentleman stalked slowly
up the street, with his eyes thoughtfully
wandering over the faded old house
and its neglected grounds.
Pausing where boy was idly swing

he said:

sale. Who Is the present ownerp'
The boy, like most boys, was anx-

power.
"Old Mr.. Landon Graves was the
owner but he's dead now--been dead
two years-and the place belongs to his
daughter, Miss Alice"

A London dispatch says that the
British capitalists who have invested
IN American lands are alarmed at the
talk in congress Sabout legislation
against alien ownership of land. They
do not understand that the power of
congrsss in this respect is limited to
the territories. 1t is to be hoped that
congress will discover some way to
limit the disposal of lands yet unsold
to actual settlers. The American
monopolist is only little less objec-
tionable than the English monopolist.
While neither congress nor the states
ran take away property already ac-
guired, it is probable that laws viii be
passed which will render the holding
Of land in large bodies unproftable.

Bradstreet's is authority for the
statement that thetrade and industry
Of the country are less affected than
formerly by the ups and downs of
Wall street. During the war and for
years after its close, the country was
kept IN continual anxiety by the bulls
and bears of Wall street. Thousands
OF people far away were wrecked and
financially rained by basing their ven
lures on the daily reports from that
den OF speculation and chicanery. It
Is a happy thing for the country that
the regulating power OF Wall street is

Ex-President Arthur, according to
New York correspondent is steadily
losing ground and growingweaker day
by day. Two causes led to the begin
ming Of this present illness. These are
indigestion and malaria. When he

full of malaria. Besides this, he had

upon his return to New York the effects
OF this began to show themselves.
When he entered the White House
his weight was 22S pounds. This has
