Trade, that of 1884, it was proudly stated
IN the annual report that to-day Savan-
nan is known as the largest naval stores
market of the world, our receipts for the
past year being 1873, 1879 casks of spirits tur-
pentine, and 5e4,026 barrels of rosin." The
receipts for the year just ended were con-
slderaDly more than double those receipts.

The year 1861 opened with spirits tur-
pehtlne quoted at 25b cents. The market
closed yesterday with spirits quoted at
ga cents. In the intervening twelve
months, spirits went as low as % cents
rms extremely low figure for the commod-
lty was but the natural result Of the enor-
nous receipts. From the beginning of
the year. the market sagged
under their weight, and was slowly forced
down without single reaction. The down
ward movement continued over six
months, during the greater part of which
spirits brought from "A to 221l cents From
May until Sept 20, the quotation was be-
low % cents. From then until the end Of
November 1t fluctuated between % cents
ana 261a cents, with the bulk of the sales
nearer the lower figures. Then the market
again passed to a lower scale, and for a
week then, as for a similar period at the
closing Of December, the price lowered
around 2ils cents
The great bulk of the crop then being
out OF the way, prices moved a peg up

lect.
The naval stores year Of 1867 closed
yesterday with a record of the lowest
prices in many years. if not the lowest in
the history OF the trade, for spirits tur-
pentine and the finer grades Of resins.
1t also closed with much better and
brighter prospects for the new year than
have been apparent at the close of either
Of the past three or four years.
Stocks of spirits are small in the country,
and with a reduced crop, now regarded as
an assured result of the determination to
hold down the cut, and the long continued
bad weather combined, higher prices are
confidently looked for.
Resins are, also In a much better posi-
ton. The consumptive demand for COM
mon grades was steady throughout the
year, and bids fair to continue Pale ros-
ms, whose history during the past twelve
months, has been one of continued de-
preston and abnormally low prices, will
like spirits be in smaller supply the COM

prices will naturally be upward. Some
evidence of this has been seen in the last
few days
sayannah's receipts of both spirits tur-
pentine and rosin for the year just ended
We're the largest on record. Some think
they are the largest that ever will be re-
corded. The same opinion has existed in
past years, but the prospects have been
discredited by the figures Of receipts that
came after. A few years ago, it will be
remembered, a white flag was flown from
the board Of trade building, bearing the
figures 100000. indicating that Savan.
mans receipts of naval stores had reached
that number of packages. At that time
many believed the climax had come. The
receipts for 1869, though, were, 1923, AS
casks of spirits turpentine and 1,176,072
barrels of rosin, grand total of 1,505,517

THE BLACK FLAG.

The black flag now waves over
Cuba, and hereafter no quarter
is to be shown to any Spanish
soldier who falls into the hands
of the insurgents. General
Gomez says he has been driven
to this resort in order to prevent
the further slaughter of Cubans
who are taken prisoners by the
Spaniards. He has put to death
ia prisoners and says lie will
keep up that policy until the
opaniards are brought to sense
OF their duty towards humanity.
For the two years the war has
been sacrificed by the Cubans to
the spirit of hate.
A telegram touching the mat
ter, published III the Atlanta Con-
stitutiun, say 5 that not only has
General Gomez enforced the
most humane treatment of prls>
oners, but he has fed them when
provisions for his own men were
ocant. He has gone even fur>
ther than this, and punished the
plateados as public enemies when
he mighta as we'll recognized them
as allies. In the face of this et>
forts to carry cut the rules of war,
CAPTAIN General Weyler has for
med an alliance with the plates
ADDE'S, and protects them in their
work Of devastation.
A very large number Of people
will f;ld no fault with General
Gomez because of his order to
raise the black flag, policy long
since adoped by Weyler, but with
both armies pursuing the same
treatment towards prisoners who
are taken by either side the war
is simply reduced to one Of exter-
mination. How long the United
States will remain quiet under
such a condition of affairs at its
very doors is question, bat that
it ought to raise its strong arm
at once to put All end of the hu-
man butchery now practlced IN
Cuba does not admit of a doubt.

A HAPPY HOME.

A happy home is the bright
est spot..on earth that the eye OF
God looks down on. Love and
peace in his home send a sun-
shine round man wherever he
goes; but disorder and trouble
bring misery everywhere. There
are few worries of life which a
man cannot now and then shake
off, but who can shake himself
free from the skeleton in the
closet, from the worry in the
household, and the blister OH the
hearth A day will tell how
many a man carried that with
him without wincing down to
the grave.
When a husband and wife a,e
heipmates to each other in the
best sense, when order and love
and goodness sprevail in the
house, then the man who has
a hard battle in life to fight can
leave his struggles behind him
when he enters there. With all
our faults, we are the most home
loving Of people and thatssis the
reason why we are the greatest
of people. Whoever helps home
life is national. blessing, what
ever hurts home life is a national
curse, and the greatest curse that
can touch these blessings in
what would tamper with the
peace and blessedness of our
homes. 1t is in the family life
that mans piety5gets tested.
Let the husband be cross and
sully, giving snap here and a !
cuff there, and see how out of
sorts everything gets. The wife
grows cold and una,niable too.
Both are tuned on one key. |
They vibrate in unison, rising in |
harmony or discord together.
The children grow up saucy and
as young bears. The !
father becomes callous, peevish, !
hard. and kind of two legged
brute with clothes on. The wife
bristles in self defence. They
develop unnatural growth and
of teeth; and the house
is haunted by ugliness and do
mestic brawls.-Ex.

Tackled the Wrong Man.

There are two highwaylnen in
New York city who have decid
ed to neither rob nor attempt TO
rob any man until they shall
have first inquired his occupa
ton. They have just made a
terrible mistake and mental and
physical anguish resulted. Un-
fortunately for themselves they,
never having seen the man, Sc
lected Bob Fitzsimmons for a
victim. Bob had dined and
spent the evening with a friend
and some time after midnight
was passing through West
Twenty-second street on his way
home. Near Fifth avenue he
stopped to light cigar, and at
that moment two men planted
themselves in front Of him, de-
manded money and raised their
hands as though to assault him,
Bob's great fists shot out like
lightning; down went the men,
and then the pugilist laughed.
The men arose at that and ran.
Policeman Stanford hurried up.
but Bob told him his, services
were not needed.

Mrs. Mary E. Hobart. ol

to succeed Watson G. Squire
formerly Of Ilion, n. Y, and now

speeches made by her during the
past three years in her Stcte-
She has also Wnitteu many books,
charging that the finances of
the country have been misman-
aged by the bankers and bond
svndicates. Her ancestors fought
in the Revoa uh onary War, and
Mrs. Hobart insists that this age
is too British and too un-Ameri>
can to bring the best results to
the great mass of people.
During the height of the conf
monweal movement Mrs. Hobart
was particularly active. She
travelled with the Coxey army
and made many speeches. She
is woman sufragist and en-
dorses the Omaha platform.
Among orthodox Popu1ists she
is considered the best posted

there will be temporary dead
