rs nIsAppnINTING.

New York, March 2o.-Bradsueets to-
morrow will say:
General trade throughout the United
States for the first quarter OF 1896 IS DIS
appointing. When the Improvement IN IN
dustrial and commercial lines between
March and September, 1898, is recalien, &C
curing as it did two years after the pane
of 1893 reason would seem to have been
behind the confidence that the current cal
endar year would bring a general revival.
But the most Favorable reports at TINS
time are those which declare the volume
of business only equal to, and IN a rev
instances in excess OF, the like total one
year ago. The fact that interior mef-
chants are buying more freely in MIS-.
souri,, Kansas, Oklohoma ana parts OIL
Nebraska, where the snow ana ram nave
prepared the soil for the crops, constitutes
almost the only favorable announcement
for the week. In almost all other parts
of the country, east OF the MISSISSIPPI
stormy weather has tended TO check the
volume of business and still turther re-
strict mercantile collections, which nave
now been exceptionally slow for more
than month.
The unusually large number of business
failures taking place during the f1rst quar-
ter of the current year promises TO make
a record. The total for the current week
throughout the country is 800, OF is more
than last week; As more than in the ike
week in 1895; 103 more than the CORE
spending week in 1894, and IS more than
in the third week of March, 1898.
There is a sharp decline in the total eX-
ports of wheat G1our included) from both

WALL STREET..

New York, March 1.-Today's stock
market was in the main embarrassing.
American Tobacco was again the leader
in activity, followed by st. Paul and
Louisville & Nashville. The Improvement
was a progress reported to be making at
the transcontinental meeting, which was
in session up to a late hour. Another
theory was that the move was to compel
covering of shorts.
In detail the market shaded slightly at
the outset TO a moderate extent but the
strength of tobacco, and a covering move
ment by the shorts served 10 carry prices
10 a point making the net changes light
IN most cases. The closing was quiet but
firm at slight concessions generally as
compared with yesterdays final figures.
The dealings in bonds fell. below the re-
cent average and the tone was heavy.
The declines of consequence were con-
fined to the usually inactive bonds. In
this class Fulton Elevated Fights figured
for per cent. and Atchisom, Colorado q
Pacific firsts for 50 per cent. In the ac-
tive list Northern Pacific thirds headed
the losses with ~ per cent. The sales
were S1,005, 0O0
Governments were quiet. Prices were
practically unchanged on dealings of
SIS, 600.

hunter that this is no false alarm but
''fresh scent" The other dogs are
then released in bunch and they go
direct to the old dog, who is now in
full cry. AS they come up to him and
catch the scent OF the fleeing Reynard
they join in the baying and are
off. Along the farther hillside, then
down into the valley and along the
slope at our feet comes the pack like
whirlwind, then circling the hill they
come again and crossing over to the
other side make half circuit of the
opposite hill at which point they are
lost to the ear, but not for long, for
soon faint sound, as of tinkling bells,
is heard, which grows louder and
stronger and again we see the whole
pack, all punched, crossing the open
on the crest of the opposite hill and
coming directly toward us. By remain
ing very quiet and by keeping a sharp
lookout you may be able to see the fox
crossing near where we stand. Yes,
there he goes. now he stops and, turn
ing half way round, listens for the
hounds, waiting a few seconds to rest
or perhaps to dig after mole just un-
der the sod, he scurries off, seeming to
enjoy the fun as much as any of u.s..
Then up the slope come the hounds in
hot pursuit. What music! Oh ye
shades of Handel and Mozart, listen to
this! High tenor, second tenor, deep
bass, tremolo, alto, and contralto, bari
tone and soprano, "harmony," "vol-
ume,' feeling" blending in mighty
strain that wakes up the echoes mid a
hundred hills and valleys. The mon
grel ours at the distant farmhouses
yelp and bark and tug at their chains.
The rooster in the apple-tree crows his
appreciation, while the staid old
farmer catches his death of cold as
he leans out through the open window,
spellbound in the ecstasy of delight.

OF FAILURES.

Taking the highest standard of
achievement as test, failure is falling
short of the attainment of ones ideal
Though few of us can make as good a
fight as that, and can feel that the work
within our power has been finished, and
that we ''flagged not in earthly strife"
some names of men who might honestly
say they used their lives to best advan-
tage, all the while and right to the end,
occur in every department of human
effort.
The worst form of failure cannot be
hidden from the most casual observa-
tion; it is seen in the shambling gait,
the furtive look, the apologetic cringe.
You feel, as the confirmed ne'er-do-
we'll approaches, that here is a man
who has no place in the general scheme
of things; he is an Oddity; the sense
of power has faded out of him; nobody
is prepared to rely on him, and he
knows it. His trust is in your pity for
weakness, or in his own shifty and
temporary cunning-a frame of mind
into which he has been driven by the
want which dogs the steps of failure.
Do we sufficiently recognize that in
perhaps a majority of cases failure
shambling along under depressing
cloud of public contempt, is due to the
inherent incapacity of the poor victim
He is one of Natures misfits. We

GERMAN PENAL SETTLEMENTS.

At first sight it seems like a retro
gressive movement when Germany
proposes the establishment of penal
settlements in Africa. Great Britain
abandoned the plan of expatriatiOn
long years ago. But it must be re-
membered that she abandoned it only
upon the prOtest-a protest that fell
little short of threat of revolt-of the
free cOlOnists, who objected to the con-
tinual deposits of vice that the convict
ships dumped upon their shores. And
it is questionable if the penitentiary
system has been either more deterrent
of crime or more reformatory of crimi-
mails than the old system of transporta-
tion. 1t is certain that many criminals
transported from Britain to Australia
and New Zealand became useful, and
in some cases very rich, free citizens,
upon the expiration of their terms of
servitude. 1t is equally certain that
the chances of requirement of re-
spectacle position by the man dis
charged from penitentiary are very
slight. 1t is to be considered also that
civilization has made great marches
during the last half century. Germany
need not revert to the horrors of the
British system of transportation. In
the hundreds of thousands of miles of
her African territory she can find space
for farms to be titled as the personal
property of convicts who have given
evidence of reformation. Using her
criminals in the first place as laborers
upon African railroads or highways,
she can convert the convertible part of
them into men with "a stake in the
country of their new abode. 1t may
be we'll to withhold expressions of dis
favor until we are made acquainted
with all the details of this projected re-
vival of an abandoned plan of dealing
with riminals.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

MEN FORTY FEET HIGH,

Eminent scientists are now claiming
Jupiter is a world of animal and vege-
table life like our own and that as long
as telescopes can be made considerably
more powerful than is possible under
the present inventions the whole world
of Jupiter will be opened to our view.
Jupiter being so many times larger
than this world it is the opinion of the
scientists that everything there will be
much larger than what we have here.
Human beings, for instance, forty feet
tall and built in proportion. Although
a human being of such vast proper
tions would be terrible apparition in
this world, according to the idea of the
scientists appear perfectly proper in
Jupiter, where the conditions are so
different and everything is constructed
upon so much larger scale.
That is rather pleasant theory
which someone has advanced about
Mars, Jupiter and the other planets
being a succession of worlds through
which man has to pass before he
reaches the perfect existence. He
claims that we are in state of transi.
ton, and that as we grow better and
wiser~we pass from this world to the
next one which is more exalted and so
on until the end is reached, which, for
instance, may be Jupiter. Of course
this is all speculation, but while people
will speculate upon the nature of our
future existence they might as well
make the picture a pleasant one in.
stead of giving us something that is
hideous to contemplate.-St. Joseph

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.

Who could not edit country paper?
In the minds of a good many other
wise sensible people to conduct a
weekly paper it is only necessary for
the editor to look over his exchanges
and clip and paste, till the form is
full, when out the sheet comes and
everybody gets their copy of it. That
would be very nice indeed. But such
people will forget the acres of paper
the editor will look over to find par
agraph that may prove of interest to
his readers or the time it takes him to
condense half column account into
paragraph. Then he should be out
around town looking up items of local
affairs and at the same time his place
is in the office looking after the work
there and provide copy for the 'devils"
who try to drive him crazy with yells
for 'copy." He should also be out and
around the country looking up work
and advertisements, for even the most
obtuse will readily see that the annual
one dollar for the price of the paper
will not keep the pot boiling or tho
presses in motion. At the same time
hs has his books to post, his accounts
to make out and bills to collect to get
money to pay the compositors and
pressman, rent, fuel, stock, light and
other running expenses to provide for;
act as his own foreman in making up
forms, be proor-reader, reporter and
editor all in one. These are few of
the things that country editor has to
do or get showed under and that very
quickly. After doing these things to
the best of his ability, and brought out
his paper he is met by a saphead with
the sapient remark: II find word
misspelled here" or "a word was left
out there" Is it any wonder that
country editors grow bald, turn gray
and die young

A FOX-CHASE.

Ever since and probably long before
the goddess Diana led, in the hunt, her
court across mountain, plain and
morass, the chase has been held in
high favor. No other sport so appeals
to the instincts of true sportsman as
does the chase with all it's attendant
exhiliration and excitement. Con-
ditions, though, have come to modify,
so that the chase as known in certain
countries differ greatly from that in
Others In merry England" the cross
country runs, in which all are mounted
upon powerful hunters that take with
equal ease a six-fOot hedge, seven
rail fence or twenty-foot ditch, &C.
companied by buglers, whippers-in and
all the paraphernalia that snobbery
can suggest, we have the most elabO-
rate effort in this line. However the
English may enjoy chasing an aniseed
bag, to me it seems that to the sports
man of America has been given the
honor of finding the true spirit of the
chase. Back in the hills of the old
Keystone State are to be found many
mighty nimrods to whom the nimble-
footed red fox is as sacred as was the
cat to the ancient Egyptians and who
would threaten, at least, to lynch the
unwary novice who would dare kill
one of these little creatures, for if a
fox-chase may no longer be the sport
of Diana, it is to the sturdy American
sportsman the acme of all the sports.
No flunkies or caddiss attend him OF
his expedition, no fresh horses, for he
is not even mounted. At nightfall
usually moonlight nights are selected
the dogs are put on the leash and led
to the top of high hill in the "fox
country" Here bonfire is lighted
stumps and logs serving for seats
Meanwhile one of the older dogs is un.
leashed and he at once starts off for the
surrounding woods. The other dogs
are chafing in their collars and whin.
ing with impatience. The fire burns
brighter and sends out ruddy glow
and cheerful heat. There is no long
wait, for from over on the opposite
hillside comes few quick, sharp
barks, and then the old dog, that had
been released, goes off on a hot trail
giving tongue in long-drawn music
