Bradstreet's Review says The slight
improvement in trade is in the tendency
of business to increase at few cities in
the northwest, on the pacific coast and
in South Atlantic and Gulf states.
Bank clearings throughout the United
States for last week amounted to S975,-
100000 decrease of nearly per cent
from the former week. There were PAS
business failures throughout the United
States during the week, which is not
far from what may be called the normal.
Total gross earnings of 1877 railroad
companies, embracing majority of the
railroads mileage, aggregate SIP, 644,
96l, decrease of 1.8 per cent from a
year ago. Net earnings on the other

A Boat 900 Years Old.

by far the Oldest specimen OF water-craft
In existence. The boats In the G. z-h

were contempOraneous with the Dashur
pyramids of the eleventh Egyptian
dynasty.
With this boat and the two which re.
main in Inc Caro- museum were two more
which still rest IN the sands " h ch stretch
desulately from the Dashur pyramids
lear which they were found.
The five boats were found buried al II
considerable depth hot far from the
famous largest pyramid, and in such or
DERBY form and with such mathematical
relationship to the great pile Of stone
that it was evident that they had been
buried with design at that particular
spot.
The boats were found TO be alike in
the material OF which they were con-
structed and in their general dimensions.
The cedar of antiquity, which entered
into so much Of the construction Of
things of wood, WAS used in building
these boats. While the equipments Of
the boats had generally disappeared with
time, their shapely outline still remain.

Amusing Incidents Sometimes Enlivened
the Soldiers Hard Life.
A witty reply was once struck out in
the heat of battle by private in the
Fifty ninth Illinois, who thought the oc-
oasion warranted departure from the
rule of never answering an officer light
ly. The regiment had got itself III rather
an unenviable position almost between
two lines of the enemy, and the colonel,
a very pious man, cried out: We're in

to his command that there was to be nO

caught at it would be punished to the
fullest extent. So that when one night
he happened to discover for himself a
soldier stealing into camp with half
choked porker under his cloak he was
prepared to mete out justice to the
offender with a heavy hand. What dc
you mean, sir, by TINS fragrant disregard

Grain tor India.

The navy department has had so much
trouble in securing ships to carry the
contributions of grain from this coun-
try to India that it now has under con-
sideration the propriety OF appealing to
Congress to amend the resolution requir
ing the grain to be carried in an American
vessel.
1t happens that there are very few
American vessels out side of the regular
lines and the department IS unable to
comply with the terms of the act unless
it turns to sailing ship. Such a ship
could not reach Bombay in much less
than three and one half months. by which
time the famine sufferers for whom the re-
lief is intended might be expected to be
either starved to death or in possession
OF new crops of rice.
Therefore unless an American steamer
can be procured, at New York within the
next few days, it is probable Congress will
be asked to remove the Injunction and
allow the department to charter a steamer
OF another nationality which may be allow
ed to carry the American flag for the oc-
CaSiOn.
