Happiness Versus Riches.

The latest testimony to the fact that
riches do not bring happiness comes
from the lips of a member of perhaps
the richest family on earth. Baron AL
phonse de Rothschild, when recently
asked for his views on happiness
whether he thought that riches led to
happiness, replied:
"Ah, noI!' answered the millionaire,
sadly and slowly, that would be too
glorious! Happiness is something to-
tally different. I suppose" he added,
re1ectively, some advantages do at
tach to money, or people would not give
themselves SO much trouble to gain it;
but, believe me. the truest source of
happiness is-work!"

Earning copocity Of,

sooner than to know what is her posi-
ton in regard to her American trade.
If prosperous she will respond with a
smiling face; if the reverse then you
may expect a frown and a scowl. Hav-
ing glanced through the American con-
suFs latest production, it was soon evil
dent that we were sailing still in deep
waters. However, let us take sound
ings and see how matters stand.
Can l yet report any decline?" you
ask solemnly. None whatever; for Oc-
tober returns step forth and claim z
third position. The occasions referred
to were July and August, when the to-
tails were 1854, 301 and f606, $50 respec-
lively, while October returns show a no
mean total of f517,279. But the reason
of the total exports of July and August
being so much in excess of those for
the past month is to be found in the
fact that immense quantities of raw ma
terial were sent out in these months,
and, on this, of course, the labor I'M
ployed is i~nfinitesimal as compared with
manufactured products.
This to a true hearted Yankee, with a
feeling of concern for his own domestic
factories. cannot be lightly passed over,
for in manufactured fabrics October
Jumps into the second place and not
the third. Really it is in this depart
ment where all the weight of argument
comes in, for if n could see as large
an increase in the expectation of raw
materials, it would speak volumes for
YOUR domestic makers; but the result
being the opposite-made-up fabrics
instead of raw materials, it must tell
powerfully against domestic mills. 1
say again, that while the principal
manufactured exports are below Au-
gust. yet they are considerably above
July figures.

fngs, stuff goods and wooden goods. In

Fishermen Netting Ducks.

Oshkosh, Wis, sportsmen are very
much agitated over the discovery that
the efforts of the fishermen have been
diverted from the netting of fish to
the netting of ducks and that the op-
erations on account Of the extent and
ease of capture threaten the extermi-
nation or driving away of ducks from
that vicinity, which contains some Of
the best feeding grounds in the world.
One fisherman is said to have caught
500 ducks in a day. The ducks dive for
food, get entangled in the net and
drown. They are barreled and shipped
to Green Bay and Chicago. Old nets
are used so that if captured by the game
wardens the loss will be small.

Clothing Trade Troubles.

"The past six weeks has witnessed the
failure of an unusually large number of
firms engaged in the cloaking and
clothing trade, and indications point to
additional embarrasslnents before the
close Of the present month. The col
lapses have also extended to a few dry
goods jobbing houses"
The foregoing is from the Wool and
Cotton Reporter of Nov. Z. 1t points
out clearly the nature of the free trade
revival in business and confirms the re-
ports of increasing trade failures that
have already been published. The
Wool and Cotton Reporter further says,
that, 1.-The present time is perhaps the
most critical one Of all the year." Pos
sibly the times will be ever more criti-
cal later in the year, or during 1896.
1t also stated that "the banks appear
to be s%crutinizing more closely than
ever those who apply to them" for
credit. This seems to be a little pecu-
liar, because we have time and again
been assured by the free trade papers
of the country that all the weak con-
Germs had gone to the wall during the
free trade panic of 1893 and 1894. Now,
it is the solid and sound concerns that
must be smashed, and, when the banks
are "scrutinizing more closely than
ever the credit of the solid business
concerns that escaped the free trade
wreck of 1898 and 1894, it shows the
c.-- 49,
and the effect of a policy of free trade
in wool. Bankers have no confidence
in either.

July there were sent to yonr side goods
Of these descriptions to the value OF
1850, in August f425,6S2, and
in October f408, $40. And l make
bold to affirm that, il there had
been in October five Thursdays and five
Fridays, as there were in August, Oc-
tober shipments would have been the
biggest ever yet chronicled. Why is
that, you ask? Simply because the
principal cargo vessels leave Liverpool
at the weeks end and on the two days
previous, Thursday and Friday, three
fourths of the declared shipments are
made. This know for a fact is the
prevailing custom among u Anglo
American shippers.
Worsted coatings-and what an
amount of labor is spent in producing
this class of wearing apparel-gives to
American makers another hard knock.
Last months shipments of this class OF
goods is the largest since the new tariff
came into operation. Think Of it, Esq.,
169 worth of goods in four weeks. This
means f45,542 worth per week, and
f6,747 per 81 working days declared.
If orders for this amount had to be
given out of 81 domestic factories it
would mean just a little in every de-
partment of manufacture. The ship
ments of worsted coatings alone for
each consecutive month are worthy OF
recapitulation. Let every reader look at
them squarely and soberly and study
out what they mean.

The Judge. Musical instrument.

A new typewriter story comes from
India. 1t appears that one of the Eng
lish judges in India was an expert on
the machine, and it occurred to him to
use it for the making of judicial notes.
The machine was conveyed into court,
when a certain novelty was impaired
to the proceedings by the click of the
keys and the tinkle of the bell which
indicated that u line had been COM
pleted. The prisoner WIS found guilty
and sentenced. Promptly he appealed,
on the ground that, instead of listen
ing to the evidence, the judge had
whiled away his time by playing on a
musical instrument This was a tech
nicality as well as a typewriter, and
quite n good enough reason for a bad
man to get q new trial.

That her glamor fails to drown.
God! some soul is left to languish,
BY the roadside stricken down!
Gaily onward-never needing
What those wheels must override
Human hearts all crushed and bleeding
Meath her juggernaut of pride!
Virtue walks not in the highway
Blatant, with a brazen tongue:
In the scarce frequerted byway
Her uplifting song is sung.
How her presence yields a blessing,
Misery to comfort turning!
Fair and cool her hand is pressing
Troubled brows with fever burning.
In her train are Grace and Beauty,
Worth and Goodness, Honor, Youth,
Wisdom, Love, and homely Duty,
Simple Strength and wondrous Truth.
Unto Virtue life is treasure,
Dear to have and sweet to cherish.
Life to Vice is but a pleasure
Cast aside and left to perish!

Denied FROM Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The report
that Iowa Indians have leased Is, 900
acres of land from the Kaw tribe, in
tending to live off the rental of their
allotted lands to whites, is disputed
by Indian officials. All leases made
by or with Indians require the ap-
proval of the Indian bureau, and In
dams cannot abandon their allotments
and move onto reservation lands only
by authority of an act of Congress.
This action has never been allowed
and the Indian bureau will not author
ize it now.

Small Operators Fear it..

CARTHAGE, Mo-, Jan. I.-Consider-
able interest is manifested here as to
the probable outcome of the great
zinc combine. AS it's workings can
yet only be guessed, those interested
do not feel at liberty to express them
selves. The impression among many
miners and operators is that the re-
suit will be simply to choke out Of
existence all small enterprises and to
prevent any further efforts toward the
building of any additional smelling
works in this section.

RAILROAD COLLISION
AN INTENTIONAL ONE FOR THE BEN
EFT OF 10000 SPECTATORS.
Two AO-Ton Locomotives Sent Crash
ing Into Each Other at n Speed of
Forty Miles an Hour.

COLUMBUS, o., May 30-The 200o0 people
who gathered at Buckeye Park, on the Co.
lumbus, Hooking Valley & Toledo railroad.
this afternoon, have a pretty well defined
idea Of a railroad collision. Two forty-ton To-
comotives. to each Of which was attached
three coal cars and a caboose, were run to-
gether at speed of forty miles an hour. AS
one of the engines was little faster than the
other, preliminary trials of speed were made
SO as to bring the collision at a certain point.
The engine wv III. Fisher was started
1900 feet south of the point of meeting. and
the '.AI .Streeter'' 5000 feet north. The en-
gines were started on the main track and
ran together on a siding in the park.
Both engines were started at the same min
ute. the engineers jumping after opening the
throttles. The collision occurred at {:lo p.
m, the engines meeting within about 100 feet
Of the calculated point. The immense crowd
was silent with awe as the engines steamed
into sight, each running at the rate OF forty
miles an hour. There was a terrific crash
and a roar of escaping steam. AS the en-
gines came together they reared UP in the
air and the cars behind them were teie-
scoped. but the cabooses were only partly
wrecked.
AS the clouds Of dust and steam obscured
the wreck there was a tremendous shout:
then when the escaping Of steam subsided
the people clamored over the wreckage and
every loose piece of iron that could be found
was carried away as a relic. Both engines
were a complete wreck. Kinetoscopio and
eideloscopic views Of the collision were taken
by New York experts. The only thing to
mar the success Of the affair was an acci-
dent to T. c. Peck, chief clerk in the general
passenger Office of the Hooking Valley. A
flying bolt struck him on the right leg be-
low the knee. breaking the bone A piece OF
iron also punctured his thigh He was
brought to the city on a special train.
