From the United States Economist, July )


1t is unfrequent in the history Of the
dry goods trade that a season opening
with SO much promise and dash, has pre-
sented so many variations of depress-
ing influence us that ended last We'd
nesday and it is many years since we
have witnessed the period of activity on
the part of the jobbing distributors dis
playing signals of warning TO the small
trade to hold off for lower prices, and
the same observed with such
punctuality. 1t has been some years
since we have seen the markets
for prints exhibiting such a panic in
prices as has ruled since the beginning vi
April, while brown and bleached cottons
never displayed that torpidity that has
ruled since the above date. In all
branches of industry the excessive pro.
duction which the third month of the
wear exposed was the occasion of the di-
recting powers to close their works with
the first symptom of dissatisfaction on the
part of the operatives, while the incress-
ed demands of many classes OF labor
were the occasion for others to close their
factories.


The body of laborerS thus shut out
from receiving their daily wages have
been forced TO cconomiZc, and their
wardrobe expenses are the first that are
cut down in amount thereby lcssening
the consumptive capacity, while those VIII"

soon they might be thrown upon their
own resources, adopted the same forced

by the unemployed, thereby lcssening the
demand for the most staple goods and
fastening an accumulation in manutac-
lures, the shrinkage on which has long
since discovered to stockholders the i'm
possibility OF dividends being paid out of
earnings for the season just closed.


The fourth season in succession with
small if any, profitable results has ended,
and the chief inquiry on the lips of all is,

The newspaper is the chronicle Of civ.

Legislators Of public opinion, and informs
the people of legislation. And this is not
all. The newspaper teens with most
practical morality; in its report of
crimes and pun ishments you find daily
warning against temptation; and not a
case in a police court, not single triad
of a wretched outcast or a trembling fclon
that does not preach to us the awful les
son how imprudence leads to error, con-
ducts to guilt; how guilt reaps its bitter
fruit of anguish and degradation. The
newspaper is the bond that binds togeth-
er man and man-no matter what he the

In Southern California you may see on
the plains and hills thousands of sheep,
but not man to watch them. Around
each flock or band of, say a thousand
sheep, are half-a-dozen dogs whose pro-
genitors were imported from the sheep
pastures of the Old World. These dogs
take the entire care of the sheep, drive
thrm to pasture in the morning, keep
them from straying during the day, and
bring them home at night. These dogs
have Inherited talent for keeping sheep;
but the shepherds do not depend wholly
on that. They cultivate in this way:
"''When lamb is born, it is taken away
from the mother sheep before she has
seen it, and puppy put and learns to

| An anecdote is told of farmer going one
day to the office of New York journal
and ordering bis paper stopped, because
he was too poor to take it any longer.


Suppose we make bargain said the
editor, in this way. Go home and select
ia hen that shall be called my hen sell the
eggs that the hen lays during the year,
and send the proceeds to me as your sub
scription for the paper"


The farmer was pleased at so easy a way
to pay for his paper, and readily consent:
ed. The result was, that during the year
the hen paid for the paper twice its regu-
lar price of subscription.


This is by no means pure fiction, for
the same may be true in a great multitude
of cases. Almost every one wastes and
throws away more than enough money
during the year to get weekly or daily
newspaper that would furnish him with
intellectual food, and keep him posted in
the busy stirring events of the day. A
very small retrenchment in the luxurics
that almost every one indulgcs in would
secure daily visitor full cf gossip about
the dolngs Of the great world around us ;
full Of stirring events in the history that
is every day being made in our own coun-
try, and full Of useful general information
and facts in literature, science, and art.
Besides, it is the duty of the people to sup
port the press, for it has always stood as
grand bulwark between them and po-

the borrowed cloak from corruption and
and venality in high places, and showed
them in all their deformity, and is to-day
the great friend of education, justice, re.
ligion, and peace. The press speaks
everywhere, at all times, carrying light il
places where otherwise darkness would
reign. And when we remember what the
world would be without the press-how
darkness, ignorance, vice and oppression
would flourish unopposed, let no one any
longer say that lie is too poor to take q

To japan old tea trays, scrub clean

off nicely. This is better than fat.


Kerosene oil is good for removing rust
from cutlery.


Saturate sponges with water and stand
them on plates around and among the

Wisconsin, and this one third is, in round
numbers, hundred million bushels
The heavy rains have damaged this crop
somewhat in those States this year. The
st Paul Dispatch says that from the
Trustworthy information that it has been
able to obtain, it would seem that in
Minnesota five per cent. of the entire
production for the year has been totally
destroyed, while the damaged condition
of large proportion of the crops is
equivalent to further loss of about ten
per cent The continued rains have de-
layed the operations of the farmers and
the crop Of that State will not reach the

usual.
