IMPROVEMENT NOTED.
LIFE KEEPS UP IN ALL LINES
OF TRADE.
The Hopeful Feeling of Last Week Com
tinues-Dun & Co.'s Review--Failures
Reported In the United States and
Canada.

New YORK, Nov. 19.-R. G. Dun h
nearly all branches of business gradual
Improvement appears, and the hopeful
feeling observed last week continues.
1t will take time to lift business from
its depression and the progress made,
if less than the sanguine expected, is
at least encouraging. The decision to
offer $50, 900. 900 bonds for replenish-
ment of treasury reserve was by
bankers generally approved. 1t is gen
orally assumed that the bonds will be
taken at once. The reported importa-
ton of gold from London with loss
on its face of 81, 500 at the present eX-
change rates is presumably meant to
affect bond subscriptions. There have
been already some Withdrawals of gold
from the treasury by redemption OF
notes to make payments for bonds,
and goods rather than gold are likely
to come from Europe.
Resumption of work and increase
of working time have been more con-
spicuous in the cotton industry than IN
others, but no increased demand for
goods appears. For finished products
of iron the demand is on the whole
narrower. At the west there was
little improvement. Manufacturers of
woolens have good orders for this time
of the year, many still running mainly
on such goods, but there is n general
failure of supplemental orders for
spring goods.
"Sales of wool are again smaller
than last year. Speculative markets
have been stimulated in part by the
call for bonds and wheat has advanced
one and half cents, and corn one and
half cents, and cotton sixteenth.
Western wheat receipts in two
weeks of November have been
1871, 671 bushels, against IL, 1885,
$50 last year, but Atlantic eS'
ports in two weeks have been only
1929, 355 bushels, against l,770,6i3 last
year, and they are not increased by
the advance in price, which is partly
due to accounts of extensive feeding TO
cattle. In October over half the ex-
ports were from the Pacific
coast at less than so cents, SO
that the average for all exports was
only sos against 6s.5 last year. Corn
receipts have been less than half of
last years, with exports insignificant
The cotton movement continues large,
but sales were made at only SO cents
for two days here, and at such prices
profits are poor.
"The failures of the week have been
270 in the United States, against 232
last year, and 3s in Canada against SO
last year"

possibly the Confederate powder mills
in Augusta, Ga, thirteen miles further
west of Graniteville. At Aiken they
met with the forces of Gen. Wheeler,
and were repulsed after a sharp skir-
mlsh and retired to the main body of
the army. This fight determined the
future fate of old Jim.
His rider Lieut.. Mcmahon, charged
with him down a road, now South
Boundary avenue, right in front of the
house of Mr.. Williams. They had
hardly passed the front door when
both horse and rider fell, the rider
with mortal wound in the breast and
old Jim with ball in his neck.
Lieut.. Mcmahon was taken into the
house of Mr.. Williams, where he died
in the dining room a few hours later.
The stain of his life blood is still on
the pine floor. Jim was condemned as
worthless and ordered to be shot, but
Mr.. Williams begged for his life and
nursed him back again to health and
usefulness. From that day to this the
old horse has never known sick day,
and the indications are that he will
yet be able to show for several years
the scars of battle and the brand &c.
S. upon his shoulders.
Judges of horsehesh pronounced Jim
: years old when he fell into the
hands of his present master, which
makes him now 36 years old.

RUBIES AND SAPPHIRES.
The Same Stones, Only Differently
COlOred.

The finest pigeon blood" rubies
come from Burma, those from Siam or
Ceylon being too dark or too pale, and
the Montana stones being cloudy and
brown. A perfect one carat specimen
may cost 5000, while diamond of the
finest water of the same size can be
bought for $125, says the Houston
Post. The rich color of the ruby a
color which does not blacken like the
blue sapphire by night, is supposed to
be due to trace of oxide of chromium,
but this is still moot point with
chemists, and all are not even agreed
as to the sapphire's velvet tinge.
This latter stone is much less valu-
able than ruby, being found larger and
more abundantly. Sapphires really
present all colors, the pure white
variety, when skillfully cut, being

quently practice to catch the unwary.
Both rubies and sapphires are occa-
sionally met with as star stones'-that
is, opaque cabochon-cut gems showing
the perfect steely rays of star. A
star ruby is excessively rare, but the
sapphire star is fairly common.

AND ALL HANDS DRANK.
Matrimonial Engagements Are BlitheIy
Entered Into i'm Kentucky.

A Mr.. Goodwin of Camille and s. A.
Davis of Pelham, Ga, both towns being
in the same county, were last week
visiting John Burgess of Bowen, in
Powell county, this state. Mr.. Goodwin
married sister of the wife of Mr.. Bur.
CESS, but she died few years since,
and on Thursday of last week he re
marked to his host that he wouldn't
mind marrying again if he could get
some one to suit him. Mr.. Burgess re-
piled that he knew a lady in the town
that would suit him and Goodwin said
he would go and see her. Friday
morning he spruced up some and went
over to see the lady, who during the
day consented to change her name to
Goodwin. Returning to the home of
Mr.. Burgess, he informed him of his
success, when Mr.. Davis, being thus
encouraged, and feeling lonely
under the circumstances con-
cluded that he would like also to
marry. Mine hoste Burgess, ever ready
to accommodate his visitors, told him
that he could find him a helpmate also,
at the same time stating her name and
where she could be found. Saturday
Mr.. Davis repaired to the residence Of
the lady named, and, after some com
monplace talk and an explanation of
his mission, she too agreed to wed a
Georgian. Preparations were made for
the event, and on Monday night the
two couples were duly installed into
the matrimonial harness. The bride
grooms being much elated at their
matrimonial success, set 'em up to the
crowd to the extent of gallon of red
liquor each, and quite jollifcation
was held. On Tuesday morning the
preacher was paid his fee for the
double services, and he, too, set 'em
up to the crowd for drink all round
to those in the bar-room. Hazel Green

TO BENEFIT THE WEST.
Topics to he DISGUISED at the Trans
Mississippi Congress.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 20.-Arrange
ments practically have been completed
for the Mississippi congress to
meet here Nov. 20 to discuss, as the
call states, all questions which may
effect the interests of the people in the
territory lying west of the Mississippi
river and which may be the subject of
Legislation by the United States con-
gress and to express TO it through reso-
lutions and otherwise the sentiments
OF the western people. 1t also
will endeavor to take such steps
for the presentation of such resolutions
to that body as will command
its attention and action. While any
such question properly may be brought
forward for discussion among those
most prominent are: The remonetiza-
ton of silver, irrigation of arid and
other lands, the disposition of Indian
and public lands, the Nicaragua canal,
a national bankrupt law, the improve
ment of western rivers and harbors,
anticipation legislation, mining laws,
and admission of territories to state
hood.
Delegates have been appointed from
Minnesota, Iowa. Nebraska, Missouri,
Arkansas, Texas, Idaho, Montana,
Washington, Oregon, California, New
Mexico, Oklahoma ana South Dakota
and the attendance probably will be
the largest the congress ever has had,
and will include the most prominent
men of the territory named.

Wealthy Charities.

The income of merely the principal
charitable institutions having their
headquarters in London amounts to
over s7,OOO,OOO per annum, or
$50, OOO,OOO That represents a sum
equal to half the whole capital invest
ed in the bank of England, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. 1t exceeds the
total revenue of all the British colo
MES together in 1884, and it is as much
as the present total annual revenues of
all the British colonies, excluding New
South Wales, Victoria and Canada.
If there is added to this sum the in
come of the smaller charities the total
benevolence paid voluntarily in the
metropolis does not fall far short of
$40, 00O,O0O or $4,000, 900.

A Well Guarded Ruler.

President Casimir- Perier is one of the
best guarded rules in Europe. A fly
ing brigade of police agents, in civilian
costume, has been created to follow
the president step by step wherever he
goes, says the San Francisco Argonaut.
When NJ. Casimir-Perier is about to
start from the Elysee, the prefecture
of police IS appraised by telephone of
the place to which he is going, as well
as of the route he is to take. Before
he has crossed the cute of the palace, a
carriage is already on the street, with
orders to follow the presidential con-
veyance, and not to lose sight of it..
This maneuver is repeated several
tipsas daily.

explosion here, which resulted in the
death of Norman Clarke, engineer at

Many of the annual visitors to
Aiken have seen or heard of old jim,
an old gray horse, better known to
owned by Mr.. w. L. Williams of Aiken.
Old Jim is 1415 hands high and weighs
900 pounds when in good health.
For thirty years he has done service
on the plantation of Mr.. Williams, his
work being gradually lightened as in
firmities have crept upon him. At the
present time he has the run of the
pasture and enjoys a well earned rest.
For ten years after the war he fol-
lowed the fox hounds each winter.
Old Jim came from the mountains
of East Tennessee, and took part in
the battle of Atlanta. Falling back
before Sherman's advance, or hanging
on the flank of his army, old Jim's
coat was daily stained by the red mud
from the hills of Georgia. Crossing
into South Carolina, he bagged through
the swamps of the low country and bore
his rider CALAMITY in the fight at Great
Saltcatcher in Barnwell county in
South Carolina. From that point, ac-
companying Pique's command, under
Gen. Wheeler, he brought his master,
Lieut.. Mcmahon of East Tennessee, on
the left flank of the invading army to
Aiken.
When Sherman's army, passing
through Barnwell county, reached the
line of the South Carolina railway
Gen. Fitzpatrick, with his cavalry, made
bold dash westward for the purpose
of destroying the cotton mills at Gran
iteville, five miles west of Aiken, and

Amid the storms and mists of the

of the vessels foundered in the heavy

the Receivers of a Railroad.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 1o.-Papers were
prepared yesterday in unique case to
be filed in the Federal court, the object
of which is to establish the principle
that no employee connected with rail
road in the control Of receivers can be
discharged without good and sufficient
reason. The case selected for the test
is that in which George Miller, a Union
Pacific clerk, was discharged for al
legged trivial cause by the general yard
master. Judge Dundy, in his recent
conference with Union Pacific en-
ployes on the question of salary, in
timated that to u reasonable. degree
they would be protected in the security
of their positions and is believed to
have laid down quite broadly the
principle that civil service rules would
appertain in a general way to their
work.
