change In the last two days, and nom surface In
dcations the trading element is now inclined to
believe that higher prices arc not 50 far of after
ALL 1t is certainly becoming harder TO buy than
to sell stocks and the stubborn resistance which
the market has shown to all efforts at depression
for some time has gradually worked revolution
in the ideas Of tho professionals on the future OF

ever, still remains O barrier to any extended
operations, and Notwithstanding the fact that a
large number Of shares were traded in the ag-
gregste was small and the leading stocks re-
ceived less OF the business than usual for the
last month. Dulness was the great feature OF
tho day, only the few leading shares showing any
animation whafeyer.

The Brotherhood Of Man.

The brotherhood Of man expresses
grand principle OF unity and frater-
niiy which appeals to common ncces-
sites and universal recognition. 1t is
sanctioned by the laws of nature, and
by Christian precept. And SO we
read .'of ono hood he created all
nations OF men to dwell on the face oil
the earth" Good enough for this
sentiment Good enough for both
Christian and infdel. 1t affords u
common basis for all, Of whatever be-
lief and condition. This fact should
provoke good feeling and excite gen
erous &C. lion. A fellow feeling is Il
wondrous humanizer which destroys
prejudice, puts down bigotry, LIBERAL
ICES thought, and conducts the world
ut least to freedom.
Brotherhood is Il force working in
the heart of humanity to excite love
in fellow men; to lift up the low down
and level the high and lofty. Ii is the
savior OF the poor, and an encourage
ment to all honest cndeavor. Herein
it cxcites lively hope and vital en-:
tity. Thus a glowing future opens and
men work toee her for the good of one
another. while isolation is discarded
and the social feeling prcdominates
among men.
The press is a great motor of influ-
ence in this direction. 1t opens fire
ana keeps on tighting-by moral
means-frOm week to week and year
to year. 1t influences public opinion.
which. based upon natural right is the
controlling force in government and
social life. Let it be imbued with the
sentiment of human brotherhood and
it becomes u power for good anywhere.

Within mine own, save for little space 3;

The Seal Fishery.

More than 81 ,OO0, 900 worth OF seals
have been captured by the seal hunters
of ST. Johns, n. F., within the past six
weeks. The catch has been unprcce-
den cd, and has led to the fitting out
of many other vessels for that indus
try. The steamer Wolf was the first
TO return with Il full cargo. She left
porv on March and struck the seals
on the 18th. midway between Quirpon
and Groas Island. On the 18th her
crew killed 10000 seals, and on tho
18th to the 18th they took $4,000
moro ON board and starred for home.
Seals are worth $3.50 each. The value
of the VOLTS cargo is $4,000. Since
she VOLTS arrival the Ranger has
come in with the first cargo of the
seas IN. She had on board $4,000
seals. valued ut over 100000.
She was out nineteen days. The
Walrus arrived next with 10, 900 seals.
her full capacity. Then came tho
Neptune with $4,000, the Hector with
15.VOU, the Esquimaux with $4,000,
tho Terra Nova with 81 900, tho Fall
con with 21,OOU, the Vanguard with
$4,000, the Kite with $4,000, and the
Panther with $1,000. The latter YES
sci lost 1900 from her decks in a
heavy swell. In the gulf there are ut
least Il dozen vessels, nearly all OF
which have been heard from. report
ing excellent catches.
/. is thought that tho catch this
year by vessels will exceed 100000,
and to ibis is to DO added the shore
catch which will probably amount in
Newlo~ Midland to between $4,000 and
10000. When it is known that this is
al! done inside of six weeks it is a re-
marhaDle showing.
