THE REVIVAL OF BUSINESS The Baltimore Son sees a bright phase In tba business situation and says: The revival of boeitiee, for which the public has been looking, it long delayed, but its arrival, ts not announced as actual, is now being pre dicted by trade journaU of all olaasae as an event of tbs very near foture. The total volume of business transac tions is undoubted ly increasing. Brad street's reports, a slowly tn< proving demand for good* at most distributing centres. The New York Journal of Commerce points to the significant fact that bank clearings ere better by 12.6 per cent thau a year ago and 3 per cent, better tbau they were a weak ago. International relation* are great ly improved the world over. The euormus excess of exports of merchan di-e over Imports in tbs past year laid the foundation for the main tenance of the gold reserve at Worthington aud a comfortable balance in Enrope for some time to come. To these consid erations, which fitvor the belief that trade is bound to Improve, may be ad ded certain recent minor events of a reassuring character. Among these events is the development of a proba bility of a settlement of the govern ment's claim against the Union Fatdfic in snch away aa to put 145,754,000 or more into the treasury, tbs nat result being that the government get the fee# of the subsidy bonds end 3J per cent, interest besides. Such au addition to the resooices of the present time will be very welcome as a protection against d*ficits and as a safeguard against new bond issue. With the gold reserve approacbiug #150.000,000 and au addition of uearli fifty million* to tba cash balance, the situation can • uot but be deemed airly satisfactory. John Hilton- One of the loftiest, richest examples us intellects of this world—one of the really greatest among man— was John Milton. Ho wee tha moat learned as sell as the sublime*! of poeit. He had t jjmense erudition aud yet he was one of the greatest of poet*—possibly Lihe aobllmast of all poets. Riches he wes in lu great natural endowments and vast aa ware hie attainments; hie moral nature was possibly aa highly cultivated as his intellectual, and of all the inspired |*oeta be probably had the mast stainless soul. He wore a spot less character under the vicissitudes of fottnos and the sufferings of a life that was chequered and eventfnl, preserving hi* Independence of thought and his manliness of character. Lord Macaulay in his splsodid essay on Milton, written before be was twenty-five, in most striking language, present* this phase of life and rectitude of character. From his boyhood Milton's hsart was instructed a* wall as bis superb mind, aud bis moral development was pari passu with bis intellectual. Hie miod like tha unclouded heavens, was fall of light and beauty, wiiiUt his heart aver burned with pure affections, noble emotions, and holy dssirta. The cul tivation of the mind that he received is uot in the reach of ell. or, indeed, of many, but the heart of all may, at feast, be as sedulously trained as bis was, If not with such results. Mr. L. B. Haskins, who left os some days ago to an tar the Blbfe College of Lsvington, Ky., renorta that ho is ex ceedingly well plaaesn in his new sur rounding*. This will be lodeed grati fying to hie many friends m Jones County. During the pest year Ben was oar Register of Deeds, and a moot efficient aod popular offloier he was. His integrity end uprightness endeared him to all classes of our peopfe, and whi.e we do not part with such of our promising young men without a pro test, wa are tuny aware that he has taken a proper step io prepare himself for greater usefulness. Many art the good wishes that have followed you to your new home, and whifo none of us have *uy anxiety oou earning your success In the future, we ail bid you a happy God speed. May you live long and prosper. P y. Y HITAKER, ; AUfifOA ' Philadelphia was visited, on the | morning of the 26th ult, with one of the moat distinctive fires ever before known In that city.

Heaven Might be a Lonely Place. A little boy, when questioned by hie mother regarding some escaped«, had not told tbe strict truth regarding the affair. B*lo had taken him on her knee and waa explaining to him that people 1 who told lies could not go to heaven. “Mamma,” said he, “did you ever 1 toll a her* “Wall, my sou, I don’t know but poaaibly at some time lu try life I ouy have told some things that were not quite es they should have been.” “Did papa ever tell a lief” again questioned tbe boy. “I am afraid he has,” replied hie mother. “Did Aunt Fannie ever tell a tie?” 1 arsis ted the boy. Hu mother con eluded It was about time to choke her eon off before he had involved all the relations on both aktea of the family, so she said. “My boy. I am afraid there is hardly any person in the world but who baa at some period of hi* life made seine statements that would uot he called exactly the truth.” The boy pondered over this for a few momenta. “Mamma,” he said, “it most be dreadful lonesome in heaven—nobody there but God aud George Washing-, ton!” Oueofthe valuable relics lntrosted to tbe care of tbe grand master of Massachusetts Masons is the “Wash ington urn”—a small golden urn con taining a lock of General Washington's hair. Mrs. Washington presented the lock to tbe grand iougs in 1800, and Grand Master Paul Revere made tbs urn. Rev. Phoebe A. Hansford, of New Haven, has discovered bow many men wipe dishes, and, iucideutly, that wo men ought not to be tbe sol* occupants of the kitchen. She quotes Bible au thority for this in a verse from II Kings, xxl., 18, which reads thus: “Aud I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wlpeth a dish, wiping it and turning It' upside down.” Moutaua has 2,800 sheep.
