appeared this strange flag, under which the merchants and the traders of the world began to discover that there sail ed a new, most enterprising and most adventurous recruit to the ranks of the trade and commerce of the world. Through the gateway but partly opened by the Jay treaty came volume of trade which liberalized the laws and broke down the time honored restric tions of the centuries While Europe felt the influence in hundred ways, and most benefieially. of the American addition to her markets, we, on the other hand, started upon that career of commerce with the world and internal trade with ourselves which, iii a century, has out stripped the achievements of the ages, The figures of American commerce from 1795 to 1895 are romance aAd reality, fiction and fact. They make mathema- tics poetical, and they make poetry mathematics
 Such in brief outline is the story to be commemorated on the 18th of Deeem- Der. It should appeal to every conner cial body i'll the United States. At that time the seed was planted of which each of them is the growth. It should be commercial day" from one end of this country to the other, in reyerent recognition of the origin of American commerce and the creation of the condi- tions under which every board of trade and chamber of commerce exists i'll the United States today -Chauncey M.

New Labor Proposition.

Count Herbert Bismarck has lately been stumping Prussian Saxony in the interests of the agrarians. Ill one of his speeches he defended the grain bill drafted by Count Kanitz and in another speech he came out ill favor of bimetal- lism, protective tariffs and the introduc- tion of an eight hour day upon all of the imperial docks and wharves, to go into effect April l, 1896.
 At present the employees work ten hours. An eight hour day, he argued, running from o'clock in the morning to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, with a quarter of an hour for breakfast and the same length of time for dinner, closing the works at o'clock, would give the men time for daylight recreation.
 He strongly urged trial of this sys- tenn. If it should prove to be detrimen- tai to the work after trial of six months duration, he said, it could be abandoned and the existing system re- sumed. New York Journal.

A story or ,Dumas.

The death of Alexandre Dumas recalls a story relating to his birth which in Paris has become historical;
 When the elder Dumas was still a very young man, he was wretchedly poor. He hired garret in cheap Paris lodging house. The first night he was ill the house he was groping his way up stairs when suddenly his match went out. He stumbled along ill the darkness flight by flight until, just as he reached the eighth floor, little sewing woman who had been burning the midnight tai low opened her door and, holding her candle above her head, said
 "You are the new lodger, aren t you? ? will show you llie way to your room. "
 Dumas moved from the lodging house very soon after that, and the little sew ing woman went with him. Subsequent ly she became the mother of Alexandre Dumas fills. New York Sun.

Our Celestial Visitor.

The comet discovered at Lick obserya- tory, California, on Nov l7 by MT. c. D. Perrine is now about 84, GOO, 000 miles from the sun. The distance will de- crease and reach minimum Of about 20, GOO, 900 miles on Dec. IS, at which time it's angular distance from the point where its path intersects the ecliptic will be 273 degrees. After Dec. IS the distance from the sun will again in crease. The object is not visible to the naked eye, but it's brightness is increas- ing very rapidly It will undoubtedly be visible with telescopie assistance within few weeks.
 Unfortunately, however, it's approach to the sun will bring it into the morn ing twilight, and the difficulty of ob- seryation will Do increased thereby. IL is now E times as far from the earth as the sun is
