BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR BUSINESS.
X. G. Dun e. Co.'s Weekly Review of the
Trade situation.

r. G.. Dun & Co.. of New York. in their
weekly review Of trade. say:
The commercial situation changes little. but
only for the better. Crop prospects grow more
favorable with every week of satisfactory wealth

throughout the West and South is felt imme-
diately III some increase Of trade. Financial
apprehensions nowhere of weight at present /;
money is superintendent, and the belief pre-
wills that the Treasury will prevent pressure
disturbance. such is the spirit almost
everywhere controlling, and business depends
largely upon sentiment that hopeful
expectations count for more than pres

ity usual at this season appears 10 be intensi-
fed 10y special c9uses-by doubts regarding the
tariff, by wars of rates b. labor disturbances, or
by crop uncertainty. Yet there is everywhere
confidence that better business is near at hand,
and everywhere people are preparing for n season
of unusual activity. Better crop prospects ac-
count for much Of the prevailing confidence

HARVESTING PROSPECTS.
The Signal-Service Weather-Crop Bulle-
tin for the Last Week.

The last weather bulletin issued from
Washington.says that
The season is about one week late in Northern
New England, and from two TO three weeks late
in the wheat regions Of the Upper Mississippi
Valley The weather conditions last week were
generally favorable for all growing crops through
all the agricultural regions east of the Rocky
Mountains. A decided improvement is reported
in the wheat, corn and cotton regions in the CEN
trail valleys. The high temperature in the corn
regions has greatly improved the condition Of
that crop. Improvements are reported in the
conditions of the tobacco and corn crops OF Ken
lucky, due to the favorable weather of the last
ten days. Reports from Minnesota and Dakota
say that the weather conditions have been very
favorable, all crops growing finely and promising
an abundant harvest. Local storms caused
some damage to wheat and interrupted harvest
ING in kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. Harvest
ing Of wheat is now in progress as far north as
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and northern por-
tions Of Ohio and Indiana, and a good yield is
reported in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Re
ports from Michigan show that the weather has
been favorable for all crops and the wheat har-
vest will commence next week.

Polygamy Must Go.
New York Herald

WASHINGTON, September 2S.-The
majority report of the Utah Commits
sion, signed by G.. L. Godfrey, A. B.
Williams and Arthur L. Thomas, re-
news the recommendation of the last
annual report that Utah should not be
admitted to the Union until such time as
the Mormon people shall manifest by
their future acts that they have aban-
doned polygamy i'll good faith, and not
then until an amendment shall have
been made to the constitution of the
United States prohibiting the practice
ofpolygamy. The report adds that the
convention which adopted the pro-
posed constitution upon which an ap-
peal was made to Congress for admis-
sion to the Union, was held without
authority from any proper source. It
is further asserted that the proposed
constitution is silent with respect to
the crime Of polygamy and the COM
missioners are of the opinion that the
government cannot afford to surrender
the great advantage which it now holds
and which has been severed at much
expense and trouble. TIL ~ also think
that no harm can result from delay in
the admission of the Territory. Will
Mr.. Blaine explain this?

Convicts Leased at Dollar a Day.

Especial to News and Courier.)
COLUMBIA, October 4.-The Board Of
Directors of the Penitentiary held a
meeting to-day. The directors visited,
all of the farms which they were plant
ing on shares, and found the condition
of affairs fully as bad as at first reported.
The Penitentiary will get very little
corn or cotton. The directors are sick
of utilizing convict labor in planting on
shares. The loss to the Penitentiary
has been very heavy, and next year it is
probable that the number Of convicts.
worked in this manner will be much
decreased.
An application was received from Alr.
Pringle for two hundred conyicts for
his phosphate works. The directors
leased him one hundred at 81 day
each.
A committee from the Canal conf
mission went before the board and ap-7
piled for from fifty to five hundred
convicts to work on the Canal. The.
board took the matter under con-
sideration and in the meanwhile
directed the superintendent to lease
for work upon the Canal eli surplus:
all surplus convicts at 20 cents per day.:
An application from Mr.. Wmgers, Of
Fort Motto, for fifty convicts to farm on
shares, was not granted.

Dear Bread Next Winter.

MINNEAPoLIs, October 2.-Flour has
advanced here 81 within two months,
and it is pretty clear that it will touch
$40 barrel. Charles A. Pillsbury, the
head of the largest milling firm in the
world, said to-day: "We have had
quite little squall in prices, but that
is nothing to the cyclone that is coming
later. My reason for this is the fact
there is not enough good milling wheat
in this country to supply our local
demand for good fours, to say nothing
Of the foreign demand, which cuts no
figure on the present crop, as no matter
how much they would offer for our
flour our home trade must have it at
higher prices"

The village has Virgins in the per-
son of Simmons, timer, who claims
that voices from heaven have told him
to warn the people that Guyton is
shortly to be visited by an earthquake
unless the people stop their evil prac-
tices. Simmons has written out the
warning in detail and goes from house
to house reading it to both whites and
colored. At the African Methodist
Church, during the temporary absence
of its pastor, Simmons occupied the
pulpit, and took the predicted earth
quake as his text. The congregation
was worked up to the highest pitch by
the fervid oratory of the speaker. The
negroes have taken Simmons pre-
dictions as true, and their effect or the
ignorant has been such as to demoralize
them, and many who are in service
have refused to perform their duties
until Simmons earthquake comes.

AN ESSAY ON MAN.
Written From the Standpoint Of Vassar
Girl Who Deserves to be
all Old Maid
I Student in Home Journal. I

Student in Home Journal
Men are peculiar; they wear No. 10
boots and snore. This is what makes
it easy to recognize man when you
see one. Men wear hats they are care
full of and carry umbrellas they are not
careful of; when not losing them they
are poking them into somebody's eyes.
Men don't gossip, but they do go to
their clubs and talk over the ''news."
Men don't paint or powder (often) but
they raise whiskers, that make them
look like Scotch terriers, and coax little
hair moles to grow on their chins. Men
are not vain, but they never like the
young lady who says they are not hand
some.
Men are consistent. They like to see
the dress of lady plain and sensible,
''hate furbelows and f1ummery," but if
lady in plain, sensible dress enter a
car she may stand an hour and not one
of them will offer her seat, but when
a lady enters arrayed in the height of
fashion every one ofthem will spring to
his feet and glory in the honor of stand
ing for her sake.
Men never find fault with them
selves, not if they can help it. Adam
showed them how they could help it
and they have proftted by his instruc-
ton. Men take cold and think they
are going to die, and when you carry
them bowl of herb tea they turn pale
and ask if you don't suppose it would
do just as we'll to take itnext week.
Men are always wanting a clean
shirt and when they get one they are
always ready to swear that there is not
button on it, when all the time the
buttons are there, only they can't find
them. Men can never find anything.
They pull off their boots and forget
where they put them, and pretend they
remember all about it, add after they
have rummaged around and turned
everything upside dow, and looked on
all the shelves in the pantry, in the
sewing machine drawer, upset your
work basket, sit down and remark
that this is deuce of house; fellow
never knows, when he gets anything
OF when he is going to set eyes on it
again; and when you bring his boots,
that you have found right where he
loft them, he hands you his slippers and
wants to know ifyou ''can't jam them
into some out of the way corner where
the old Scratch wouldn't look fc- 'em."
Men think they know a lot, and they
do sometimes. Men are trouble but
they are handy to have in the house
in thunder shower, or when the wind
blows and they are not afraid of mice.
know this is true because T once saw
two men chase mouse around q room
for an hour (more or less), and neither
appeared to be in the least alarmed. To-
ward the close of the chase one of the
men stopped to wipe his brow and re-
marked that it was warm-an exceed
ingly cold observation in my opinion,
as it was cold and uncomfortable upon
the head Of the lounge where Twas.

tainly end the anxiety on this much

Apropos of Mayor Hewitt's candi-
dacy and as illustrating the sturdy
character of the man, an incident oc-
Cured on Tuesday which is worth re-
latfng. When the Mayor left his office
at the lunch hour his ears were assailed
by the sounds of wordy squabble in
the City Hall Park. Several loaferish-
looking fellows were raising a row on
the plaza and one was getting merci-
less pounding when the mayor jumped
into the melee. He thrust the COM
batants aside and then looked around
for policeman. Seeing two park
officers, or sparrow policemen" as
they are called, he summoned them
and inquired why they hadn't inter-
fered to stop blood-shed.
awe were talking together about the
escape of the prisoners for General Ses-
sions," one explained.
"You We're, eh?" sarcastically OBJ
served the mayor. "People might be
killed around here and you would be
standing by talking about something
else. That's what the city pays you
for, is it?"
They walked away shame-faced,
while his Honor trotted off to his
lunch.
THE WAY THE BETTING GOES.
The News and Courier correspondent
was witness to big game of Repub-
lican bluff at the Hoffman House the
other night. Col. Swords, the Repub-
lican sergeant-at-arms, came into the
cafe, and fourishing a bank book eX-

Instantly there was commotion. A
dozen Democrats and as many book
makers surrounded the Colonel. Bank
bills of large denomination and solid
wads of greenbacks were displayed,
their owners all eager to take the offer.
But Swords was not ready for such a
display. He hesitated and finally said
he had no money, but would have it
at the Garfield Bank in the morning.

book-maker, "are $4,000 which I will
