THE LUCKY PENNY.

 sDnae of the Pecuiinritica of nIen and Women Who Carry sFaseots. The cherished preservation Of odd or particular coins as pocket-pieces is an old and harmless sort of idolatry fre- quently indulged in by large percent age of humanity. Such souvenirs often possess intrinsic value as well as le- gendary importance, but, whether rep resented by broad piece of gold or q battered coppcr-toKen, all have associa- tions or little histories of peculiar i'm tcrest to their owners. When these treasures are under inspection in a social way, remarks of the following tenor are frequently heard: This is the first bit of silver earned when left home.
 T found this half-penny near Shake speare's tomb"

 persons to say. while tendering bright piece of silver or gold to an emigrating lad or lass: Keep this ih your pocket, and you'll always have money"
 The present and insanction are, per heps intended for practical suggestion of thrift, although in most cases tho lesson is likely to be disregarded Few people possess the quality of economy to an extent that will allow them to join
 Shylock in his boast of ability to make coins breed.
 A large number of these coins strug- l gle into the hands of New York money changers, whose locations give them daily opportunity of dealing with emi- grant arrivals. While speaking of this
 incident in the business, one broker said: 1t used to give me a pang when
 some poor fellow or woman would un-
 wrap a time-smoothed piece of foreign
 money or remove perforated one ! from a chain or faded strip of ribbon, and tearfull offer it for sale or exchange. But one soon loses sentiment in this business,
 and in matter-of-fact way, l simply pay for the weight of most of such odds and ends as you see heaped in that tray. I've had cases wherein persons
 who had struck prosperity have returned
 after long time to see if their keep. l sakes could be identified and recovered,
 but the crucible of the Assay Office had
 generally put them beyond hope" Sometimes special piece of money is

 mascot or prized talisman has paid il away in some unguarded moment. Hal. lowed heirlooms thus have been ruth. lessly swept into the coffers of an un. l sentimental railroad or moro pnofane | tills. This risk is always likely to pre-, vail, regardless of the many ways oi safely storing such precious things. Nine out of ten of the devotees of these little gods would decline the use oi 1 safe-deposit boxes or bank vaults, be- lieving as they do that the luck or charm chances of the object only be- come potent by personal contact.-N. rrsh

The Weekly Report Of the 0onditaea - ths
Co1ntzy's Business.
NEW YORK, Feb 92-R. g. Dun d Co. .
weekly review of trade says: While the
prevailing impression in business circles
is rather less confident than it was .
week ago, there are several signs OF inn
provement Cooler weather has caused
little more activity in some lines OF
trade Wheat is q little stronger and,
without clearly defined reason. there is
. drmer tone in Eastern iron markets,
while the reduction in the Bank of En-
gland rate from 8 to per cent, with its
large gain of $4,S150OO gold during
the past week, diminishes the
chance Of inconvenient demands
from abroad On the other
hand, general trade is not increasing in
volume or in profits, and while its sound
ness Is indicated by the occurrence Of
fewer failures than many expected as
the result Of phenomenally unreasonable
weather, the complaint Of slow col
lections is common and rather increas-
ing. Wool sells slowly, coal is very
dull, hardware dull, liquor trade fair,
tobacco quiet. with slow collections, and
the grain trade generally depressed.
| with collections very poor.
Wheat exports are still much above
| last years and the price has risen s5<
| cents. with reports of injury to the grow
ing crop. Corn exports largely exceed
last years and the price is n cents lower,
with oats q cents lower. Pork products
| are steady and moving outward fairly,
and oil, after decreasing million in
| the value of exports in January, has de-
clined IL cents for the week. Specula-
| ton in coffee is stronger at 20 cents, but
| sugar has not changed. 1t is difficult to
| account for a better tone which clearly
| exists in the iron market here and al
Philadelphia, unless it be due to hope
| that Southern iron, which is now NOV
ing from Sheffield at $3.50 per ton te
Pittsburgh and selling there somewhat
largely, may hereafter affect Western
| rates more than Eastern markets.
| The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the pas
seven days number 271. For the same
week of last year the figures wore go.

had settled on the Strip on Black Bear
creek and were preparing to put in a
crop. The letter urged upon the Chero-
kee Executive the Importance of imme-

the intruders and it said that it was a

was practically imminent and in case
they were not driven out at once it would
