BUSINESS.

Business has proven better for the
past week than was anticipated by
many. In most every department. OF
business an active demand IS reported
and better feeling prevails.
In the dry goods ana grocery me
there is considerable briskness. Our
commission merchants report good
movement in provisions anu grain.
Reports from the country are to the
effect that much damage has been done
by the very heavy rams III some places
and bridges are washed away and great
damage done to the young crops Just
beginning TO grow. This damage Is
merely local, however, ana the losses
are not likely 10 seriously Affect the
prospects for d good crop. Just at pres
ont there Is much interest directed TO-
ward the SouLh's principal product, cot
ton. That there has been decrease In
acreage is undOubtsd, since the prlce Of
cotton has steadily advanced tor several
weeks and closed firm and higher last
Saturday in Liverpool.
The condition OF this crop is being
watched more closely, perhaps, than
most anything else, because so much
depends upon IL i'll the south. Our sec
Liuu has been dOubly unfortunate be-
cause of the severe financial losses ana
The extremely low price of her primer
pal crop.
The farmers report good prospect
for potatoes, but it is rather early 10
speculate as to The prices that Will De
offered In our judgment, no such
prices will be offered this year as lasi
| however, there Is no guessing what wll'I
| SPECTATORS will do. Wheat has been
| tiuctuating greatly i'll price for the past
| week. Reports from the Northwest AS
| TO damage done winter wheat mas proD-
ably strengthened the market although
these reports are denied.
Wool has experienced Il rather active
demand but prices are unchanged.

A FOURTH PAKTY IN EMBRYO.
Another Opportunity Offered to Sore
Heads, Woman Suffragists
and CranlCs.

CHICAGO, May IA call has been is
sued for a national convention to be held
ut the Sherman House, on Tuesday
next, for the purpose of bringing into
existence the Federal Suffrage Associa-
ton. The object of this organization,
it is given out, is to secure uniformity
in the election of Federal officers, deli
milton of the word republic, as used in
the Con stitution of the United states,
and more definite guarantee OF the
citizens right to vote.
The organization, although different
from the Woman's Suffrage Associ a
ton, now existing, will advocate the
right of women citizens to vote for Fed
eraI officers under the Constitution, and
will urge upon Congress the passage OF
an act providing for the casting OF bal
lots by women. Many of the older
workers i'm the women's suffrage move
ment are interested in the new organi-
cation. Among them are Isabella
Beecher Hooker. Abigail Scott, Judge
&. b. Waite, of Illinois; Senator Castle,
at Illinois; Rev. Antoinette Brown
Willis, and Rev. Walter Thomas Mills.

A cOlOred preacher who had long
| held undisputed sway as the shep-
herd f his flock, was much
astOunded one Sunday morning by a
Young son OF impudence, pretending
| that he had been called last night to
take Brother Peters pulpit and warn
! sinners from the wrath to come.
Brother Peter was astounded, but
asked the yOungster to relate VINO
| called him and how.
The Young candidate for clerical
| hOnors then related to the audience
most remarkable and impressive
dream; that he had been visited by
Gabriel the night before and presented
with a golden rod; on one end was
the large letter "P,n and on the other
the letter &C, (which means, brother
ing, that [ was to go and preach

the pastor was doomed, but ne quickly
arose and told his hearers that he
TOO was visited in dream by the
great Gabriel, and that the great
ANGEL told him of his visit to the
Young man; OF giving him the golden
rod and all that, "but brothers and
sisters" he said, "he told me to say
to this flock that them letters didn't

Horse Shooting.

Robert Bonner, in n long letter,
among other good and sensible things
saws: al expect to see the day when
hOrse-shOeing will assume its proper
place as one of the professions. Doc
tors and lawyers keep their diplomas
framed and hung in their offices.
Why should not the farrier be COM
PEELED to pass an examination and do
the same thing? A horses feet and
limbs are the most important parts
OF MS ib6 body. II g seldom has troubles
which cannot be traced to them.
And yet even colts, forced as they
are, frequently show signs of break
ing down in those delicate members.
What misery is in store for them
Their lives are short ut the best, and
then to think that they should be
filled with agony. 1t is horrible
The man or woman who can by care,
by the formation of public sentiment
and by education as To intelligent ac-
ton, forward this great cause, will be
relieving more suffering and doing
more actual good than almost any
other way known to the world"
n great many practical horsemen
differ with Mr.. Bonner on the subject
of training colts, it being pretty gen
orally believed that yearlings may,
in proper hands, not only keep strong
and robust but much improved every
way by training. 1t is only in the
last few years that such has been de-
monstrated by colts taking very low
records; but if trained too much, or
injudiciously handled, it is likely
that such evils as Mr.. Bonner speaks
of, from bad shoeing and bad man
agement generally, may result
Those who saw the handsome little
tilIy Rosa c., by Duplex, go last fall
and also see her good form this
spring, can form some idea of the
good results derived from judicious
and correct training On the subject
of farriery Mr.. BOnner's opinions are
entitled TO very great weight, and We
hone the time will soon come wheI
such ideas as he advances above may
be the rule and not the exception.

Hal Pointer, let TrOtwOod give you
Just little advice and tell you a few,
n very few facts; not many, my son,
because he is we'll aware that you are
going to keep on doing as you please,
and because his space in this paper is
limited; yes, in keeping with your
own ideas.
Now, my son, Tennessee was adj
miLted into the Union in the good old
year of 1796-a long, long time ago.
And it is safe to say that the Tonnes

come years before; and that men
have been raising them ever since,
And IN all that time, buddy, and with
much expenditure of brains, muscle
and money, only one Hal Pointer has
