ing their attention TO the United states,
under the hope that they will geta fair
remuneration for their money invested
in our railroad shares and securities;
and il the American railway companies
pursue "A firm and steady policy. and
studiously avoid the waste OF competi-
ton, there will be flow OF foreign
capital to our shores unprecedented in
past years. England has become a
finished country, and so has France,
and Germany in n great measure also.
Their capitalists must look TO other
places and other countries To invest
their funds.
This appears TO be the prec Use con-
dition OF the foreign money market.
The United States, with its vast terri
tory and its boundless resources, offers
such Inducements and exhibits such
possibilities. that it is not surprising
the current OF capital is flowing
strongly TO our shores from Europe.
During the past year, for the first
time, our iron miners have attracted
that attention. Heretofore, gold, sill
yer. copper and lead mines have been
favored investments. No small por-
ton OF the gold of California and the
silver of Nevada has flowed directly to
England. Some years ago an English
company put s.. 1000, 600 into the Mari
posa hills, in California, and large
amounts in the Emma and Flagstaff
mines in Utah. Some of these invest
ments have proved so unfortunate that
foreign capitalist are now placing their
money in the iron mines of Peninsular
Michigan and Northern Wisconsin.
They do not expect "a large profit, but
larger than they are receiving in Eng
land or Germany; hence the current
flows in this direction.
Most of the European governments
are trying TO reduce the interest on
their debts They are issuing bonds at
a lower rate OF interest. That also
makes the European capitalist think
that he can do better in the United
States. and therefore he places more
or less of his ready money in our coun-
try.
SO long as the United States main
tains the law, the order, the stability
and the fidelity which it has manifest
ed since the suppression OF the slave
holders rebellion. this country will be-
come more and the more receptacle of
the capital, the energy, and the indus
trialand artistic skill OF all nations

The world is beautiful: but
Can sec in all beneath the sky,
Proof that the Great Divinity
Designed that mortals,
To taste OF perfect bliss, must fly
To heavens portals
If not, why arc our natures tried
BY iongings al unsatisfied
Why do our towers, reared with pri dc.
Totter and fall!
Why are the sweets on lifes wayside
Mingled with gall!
Music and dscord mingle here
The joyous laugh, the bitter tear,
The sunshine and the storm-ooud drear.
All in an hour,
BY turns will crush the heart and cheer
Such is earth's dover!
But there's land beyond the sky.
Where hope within us cannot die,
Where there is neither tear nor sigh,
Nor strife nor terror:
W here all is peace and harmony,
Unmixed with error.
There, bathed in light, well stand before
The One who human SORROWS bore:
VINO, houseless, famished, sick, and sore,
Was yet mans friend:
And will be when this life is DER.
Time without end.
Oh glorious home oh. mansion blcst,
Thou recompensc for LIES unrest.

How sweet TO be
Loved, pitied, comforted. caressed,

In the countries OF Western Europe
where forestry has been studied for
ages and the perils OF deforestation
are recognized by all enlightened men,
there are the most stringent regula-
tions that prevent the destruction that
in this country wastes at MONDAY un-
restrained The overthrow of tree
on the side OF mountain in Switzer-
land is regarded as II crime equal to
incendiarism. There must be intelli-
gent authorization before the benefi-
cent growth OF years, and often CEN
turtles, can be stricken down; and
while the woodman, under pains and
penalties, spares the tree, the peasants
cultivate shrubbery to prevent de-
pressions from becoming ravines, and
protect their strips OF fertile land
along the rivers from being over
whelmed by the wash that otherwise
would free avalanches of loosened
stones from the mountain sides. a
traveller through Germany, not al
ready informed, is astonished at the
extent OF the forests, the endless ar
ray of trees by the roadside, the sys-
tematic cultivation Of shrubbery,
groves Of lovely willows by the
streams, and the growth OF grasses
where there is q liability of loss OF the
soil. and the careful blowing that is
done SO that the rain may not scrape
OF the rich earth from tho killsdes.
The same care may be observed,
though hardly 10 rs great an ex ent,
in France. In England the prcserva-
ton OF timber is matter OF pride a.
we'll as of profit One does not there
see great areas Of country entirely de-
psded of trees. They dot the land
scape on every side, and are regarded
as yeritable mascots One of the
sorrows of Spain and of Italy is that
they have been SO largely deprived of
trees, and The once fruitful lands OF
those once famous peninsulas so great
ly impoverished.

Canadian Annexation.

Senator Wade Hampton, who has
been travelling in Canada recently,
says the Canadian authorities are very
seriously considering the annexation
question. He says there is a univer-
sal dissatisfaction with the relations at
present existing between the two coun-
tries, and n feeling that IL the friction
which arises from the fishery and trans
portation questions is not to be increas-
ed, there must be in the immediate fu-
ture some arrangement for reciprocity
or for commerce | union, If not, indeed,
for annexation outright. The senator
thinks the religious question will prove
n serious obstacle. however. as the
Catholic element, which effectually op-
posed the union of Canada with the
American colonies at the time OF the
revolutionary war, is still violently OPP
posed TO annexation. burlington Free

No Rnoms Need AppIr.

"Can you direct me to Pacific City?'
asked the Baffalo man TO station

a "huddle" of four or five houses.
Right across the street for infor-
nation, sir" was the reply, and the
stranger walked across 20 a shanty

the same question TO "a red-headed man
who was busy folding and sealing Il

"Well, rather"

yes, did"
That's the way with many others,
but it is not our fault Our object is
TO go slow and sure, and not create
anything like n boom to give fictitious
values. We have done remarkably
well thus far. One year ago this was
the only structure in the city. Now

Exactly. That's what our latest
prospectus says-improved 700 per
cent. in one year. Can you ask town
to go ahead faster than that? Don't
confound this wonderful progress with

Amy factories here?"
''There are. A year ago we had
none. Now we have blacksmith and
a shoemaker. That's an increase of
200 per cent. and want you to find
town to match it. There has been no

Are the future prospects fattering?"
Exceedingly so. The climate is
good for catarrh and a check on bill
iousness. Our seasons are very mild,
and farmer can get sixteen hours "a
day out of the hired men. This is a
great distributing point for the trade
and the centre OF manufactures. and we
shall seek to have the national capital
removed here. We expect six rail-
roads and two canals to cross here,
three large universities have asked

\ curious complication has arisen
n Canada in connection with the mar
riage with deceased wife's sister bill
of 1882. Before the passage of the
act several men married their sisters
in-law and the measure very charita-
bly, legalized such unions. Now one
OF the men for whose benefit the legal
izing clause was enacted, is trying to
convince the courts that the enact
ment was irregular, and that the lady
with whom he has cohabited was not
his wife. His object was to prevent
the ladys estate being held for his
debts. AS he was one OF the foremost
agitators for the passage OF the meas
urs, IL seems to the casual observer
that he must be mighty mean man.

An official report concerning the oil
regions of Pennsylvania has just been

falling off in both production and stock
as to cause the state geologist TO OK
press the opinion that the oil wells in
that state are giving out. Should the
failure be rs extensive as is now
thought it will be, the country will
have to look to the west for its future
oil supply. The oil fields of Wyoming
are extensive, but as yet undeveloped.

source Of vast wealth to that part OF
