WHAT A COOL SUMMER DOES.
Ill Effects to the Entire Business COM
munity, Farmers Included-keeps
Money from Circulating.

A well known business man says that
the ordinary observer did not stop to
consider what cool summer meant to
the entire business community, accord
Ing to the Philadelphia Record. Said he:
1T affects everything that depends upon
trade for life. | have no doubt that the
present slump in stocks is due in part
to the cool summer, which has made the
crops so uncertain. Let us start with the
farmer He has had poor luck with his
corn. melons and all kinds of truck. The
merchants who sell summer clothing
and all kinds OF seasonable wear have
hardly paid expenses; every seashore re-
sort has been running light. This means
so much money lost from circulation,
and all the mechanical trades and in
dustries must suffer. OF course, no one
Is to blame. and the only thing to do Is
to live and let live until real hot sum-
mer comes to push things along again"

LINCOLN'S LAST REVIEW.

MANOR J. a. WATROUs. Z. s. a.
Ifl writing Of Lincoln's last re
view Of a Federal army corps on the
afternoon of March %, 1865. near Peters
burg. Va, says:
There had been a fierce battle early
in the morning The Union troops had
been surprised by a large force OF Con
federates commanded by that daunt-
less soldier who since the war has found
a warm place in nearly all American
hearts in the United States Senate apd
as a popular lecturer, Lieut.. Gen. John
B. Gordon.
General Gordon had asked and been
given permission to make an attempt to
break the Union lines in front OF Peters
burg, divide the Army OF the Potomac,
and thus give General Lees army a
chance to whip it in detail
The attack was made before daylight
the morning of the Goth and it was so
much like one Of Stonewau Jackson
flank movements that for more than an
hour It promised great success for the
men in gray. Gordon and his many thou
sands OF picked soldiers Of the army of
northern Virginia-than whom there
never were better hghters-forced their
way through lines that the Federal off,
GERS thought were impregnable and
charged straight for Fort Steadman.
which they captured with all of its guns
and soldiers.
Up to that point General Gordon's plan
had worked we'll He lad caught his
enemy mapping, thrown 10000 of Lees
best men plump into the Union lines,
one of the largest and strong
est forts and seemed in a fair way to
smash that part Of Grants army. But
by this time General Parke-s Ninth
Corps had reused up and was ready for
action The Confederates were charged
from three sides. It was one OF the most
desperate struggles Of the war. It was
in this fight that Henry W Grady's
father. NJ. Grady, was killed. Soon after
daylight Gordon was back with Lees
army. but more than half the force he
went out with was in the Union lines.
more than 1000 killed and wounded and
nearly 1900 prisoners.
A brilliant plan courageously carried
TO the brow of the hill had failed and
its failure saved the Union army from
a most humiliating and a disastrous de-
feat.

Upon its way back to camp the Fifth

of the Cabinet would soon arrive.
It was nearly o'clock when they ar
rived at the right OF the corps. Word
was sent down the line that instead OF
regularly reviewing the corps the Presi-
