Last Week in Trade Circles.
Xkw Youk, Feb. 12. 1894.
business during the last week has
continued to make gradual progress
in the direction of improvement.
There lias been no radical change in
trade conditions, but the distributive
movement has been relieved by ad
ditional resumptions by mills and
factories all over the country. Job
bers and retailers have been com
pelled to increase their purchases to
replenish exhausted or greatly de
pleted stocks. There has been no
development of speculative feeling in
any branch of business. Manufac
turers and distributers alike have
pursued a cautious policy, owing
partly to impending changes in the
tarilT; and the removal of this cause
of uncertainty by the prompt action
of the Senate would assuredly be
followed by a more rapid revival of
trade in all directions.
The expansion of business has not
yet been sufficient to make much im
pression upon the great accumula-
tion of idle capital which is still seek-
. , i
m; M'l uie 111 v c t hil-ii i
at unusually
low rates of interest. The Treasury
situation has been strengthened by
the bond issue, and for the first time
in several months the hundred mil
lion gold reserve is now intact. For
eign trade returns are of the same
character as in recent weeks. Larg
er shipments of cotton account for
most of tin' increase of $3.r23.78(J in
Xew York exports during the last
five weeks, and the decline in impor-
tations diirinc that iteriod lias been i
l over $2t;.Oiio.O(K. The failures dur- I
j ing the last week throughout the
United States and Canada aggregat
ed 4ir. an increase of - over the
total for the preceding week.
The cotton movement has fallen olT
a little, although the port receipts
were larger last week than they were
during the corresponding period last
year. The decrease in shipments
from the South has not been suffi
cient to stimulate speculation; and
values show no appreciable recovery.
The increase in the marketed supply,
in comparison with that of last sea
son, has thus far been K,5rS bales;
but exports have enlarged nearlj as
much, so that domestic stocks are
but slightly in excess of what they
were a year ago. Spinners are still
buying cautiously, and since Sep
tember 1 mill takings North and I
South have been 150.000 bales less
than they were during the like inter
val last season. The cotton goods
trade has been more active in jobbing
lines: but in some instances at the
expense of "cut"' prices which have
not increased confidence in the sta
bility of ruling values at first hand.
All previous low price records have
been broken by a further decline of
ol to :V cents per bushel in the wheat
markets. The continued weakness
in values has been due to extensive
liquidation by operators who have
apparently bectme tired of waiting
for the long expected advance in
prices. Holders have been disap
pointed by the meagre reduction in
visible stocks, by the character of
the export demand, and the contin
ued absence of reports of injury to
growing crops. Dut the stocks of
wheat concentrated at commercial
centres, which are now approximate
ly 80.0110,000 bushels, were even
larger a year ago, when the Xew
York price was 10 cents per bushel
higher: and a vastly larger invisible
sunplv must have then been in ex-
is tenet
as all authorities agree that
the crop of IS'.Ci was at least 100,
000.000 bushels less than that of 1892.

WHOM SHALL WE MARRY!
Most Desirable (Qualities a Life-Partner
Should Possess.
Our popular journals teem with in
cidents of domestic troubles. Di
vorce is getting to bt; about as much
of an institution as marriage. The
causes of this are found in tlo sickly
sentimentalism of -our so called story
papers, the representation of unreal
artificial life in the scenes of thed
stage, and the wrnt of proper in
struction as to the life's duties and
responsibilities in the home. If ever
circumstances demanded a free, bold
utterance in respect to the ills of
marriage, it is at the present time,
and we need expect no better state
of things in domestic life till the pul
pit, the home, the press and the stage
unite in turning the tide into a bet
ter and more wholesome channel: It
is a big mistake for young people to
marry simply for beauty, that often
serves only as a veneering to cover a
deformed heart and soul.
Some of the most homely people
are inwardly the most beautiful.
Such was Annie Still, the sweet poet
ess of England. Such was Watts,
the great poet of whom a lady said
that she ''admired the jewel but ab
horred the casket." Seek for a part
ner in life who possesses the inner
beauties of virtue, truth and true af
fection. Such a soul will cause the
countenance to be all radiant with
that which will abide amid the stern
realities of life. What a miserable,
cold-blooded business it is to marry
for position! It is now a recognized
industry in England to mend broken
fortunes by marrying rich American
girls. The "Spectator" says, ''if the
losses in speculative investments are
heavy, and business goes badly, the
sufferers must at once marry rich
American girls: that gets them out
of the scrape in the easiest and most
attractive way they can find."
Eight-headed American heiresses,
whose silly pride is flattered by the
attentions of titled Englishmen,
ought to make a note of this, and
ask in advance how much they will !
be expected to pay to the crippled
speculators for their empty titles.
This mat rvinr of surroundings rather
llian 11 partner is the bane of many a
life. For a rich girl to marry from
such a base motive is to prove herself
a consummate fool, for a cat-and-dog
life is always the result.
A young man who marries simply
external surroundings deserves no
thing better than a selfish, calculat
ing, designing woman who will shoot
niissils of anguish and sorrow into
his soul all through his life. Look at
individuals and heart qualities, let
ting external circumstances aione.
A girl who helps her mother cheer
fully, who cares for and is kindl- in
dulgent to her brother, and is truly
affectionate to those near her every
day life she is the one to make a
good and loving wife. A joung man
who is gentle and tender to his sis
ter showing her his best politeness
n private as well as in public, he it
is w ho will make a woman a good
husband, caring for her with a loving
regard all his life.
"With such people there may be
sometimes glittering surroundings;
but beneath all that there is also the
ring of the true metal which will
sound more sweetly musical and more
harmonious as life's shadows grow
longer. ''Did she many well?"., is
often asked, and it generally means
did she marry a long, full purse. No
matter how honest, industrious or
respectable he may be, the man is
usuall- regarded as a bad part if he
is lacking in money. There is no
term strong enough to express con
tempt for any human creature, male
or female, not having brains enough
to make it, will go to work with cold
deliberation to marrv it. The man
who has one eye on a woman and the
other eye fixed with an avaricious
gaze on her bank account, is the
basest of hypocrites. The mistocies
said he would rather marry his daugh
ter to a man without money than to
money without the man.
A good, true man likes his wife to
ue dependent on him, not dependent
j on her bounty. Independence is the
i prime idea of manhood, and let a man
' Darter tins away
by living on. his
with and woe betide him if he is not
successful if he loses her money in
among the shoals of trade, he under
goes a most terrible ordeal; he is ac-
! c-used by some of being a thief and,
1 at least, his married life is anything
j but a paradise. A man who marries
j for money is bound to be either a
' fawning sycophant or a self-willed
j tyrant and he renders both his wife
j and himself utterly miserable. He
! did not sow affection hence he does
vast number of instances in which
men and women love or marryr a
fancv of their own making and do
not marry the real man or woman.
Many a man calls babyishness, art
lessness or ill-temper, sensitiveness;
many a woman before marriage calls
rudeness, frankness or callousness,
independence; all these fanciful qual
ities marriage quickly proves to be
unreal. Dorothea Brooke's pervert
ed admiration of Mr. Casaubon (in
Middlemarch) has its counterpart
everywhere. The common sense "of
Dorothea's sister, Celia, saw the
parchment-hided, prosy old dry-as-dust
fellow just as he was, while
Dorothea's imagination deceived her
at ever' turn.
Take that delightful little conver
sation between the sisters, "How
very ugly Mr. Casaubon is!" "Celia!
He is one of the most distinguished
looking men I ever saw! He is re
markably like the portrait of Locke.
He has the same deep eye sockets."
"Indeed, had Locke those two white
moles with hairs on them?" "Oh.
I dare say, when people of a certain
class looked at him; I do believe you
look at human beings as if they were
merely animals with a toilette and
never see the great soul in a man's
face." Dorothea's fanciful imagina
tion was painting this ugly, selfish,
dull, blinking, soup-gobbling man as
a great soul. How much better for
all concerned if j'oung folks would
not look at each other with the pur
blind eye of lovesick fancy, but view
each other before the merry marriage
bell rings, soberly and rationally,
making, of course, due allowance for
the oddity and unaccountability of
human nature. A short French
prayer that is not entirely without
sense, says: "I pray I may never
marry, aud if I do marry, I pray I
may never be deceived, and if I am
deceived. I pray I may never know
it." The man or woman who grumbles
at his or her partner in life after
marriage writes himself down as
short-sighted. Why did they not
know all about that capricious tem
per before? If they did know of it
and made up their minds to balance
it against better mental and moral
qualities, then let them hold to the
bargain and give up grumbling.
Seek confidence, exchange of
thoughts, restful companionship,
identity of tastes or such a difference
as gives piquanej' to intercourse. If
love and marriage is built upon these
foundations it will continue growing
while life lasts, for Shakespeare was
right when he said:
'Love's not time's fool, though rosy
lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass

In Ohio a divorce was recently
granted because "the defendant
pulled the plaintiff out of bed by the
whiskers."
A Virginia wife was set free be
cause "the defendant does not come
home until 10 p. m., and then keeps
this plaintiff awake talking."
A Tennessee court liberated a wife
because "the defendant does not
wash himself, thereby causing the
plaintiff great mental anguish."
A Xew Jersey wife got a divorce
because "the defendant, the hus
band, sleeps with a razor under his
pillow to frighten this plaintiff."
A Connecticut man got a divorce
because "the defendant would not
get up in the morning, nor call the
plaintiff, nor do ain-thing she was
told."
A New York wife was granted a
divorce because her husband threw
the baby at her when she hit him
with the coal bucket for spitting on
the stove.
A Michigan wife was released be
cause the husband did not provide
the necessaries of life, saying "he
would not work his toenails off for
any woman."
A Missouri divorce was once grant
ed because "the defendant goes gad
ding about leaving this plaintiff sup
perless, or if he gets any he has to
cook it himself."
In Pennsylvania a henpecked hus-
bank was relieved from the yoke of
matrimony because "the defendant
struck this plaintiff a violent blow
with her bustle."
In Minnesota a decree was given
to the wife because "the defendant
never cuts his toenails, and, being
restless in his sleep, scratches this
plaintiff severely."
In Illinois a decree was obtained
by a long-suffering husband because
"during the past year the defendant
struck this plaintiff repeatedly with
pokers, flat-irons and other hard sub
stances." Why IIood'M Wins. '

It is gratifying to note that the
Democrats in Congress have at last
realized the benefit of united party
action. Xo man in Congress has a
right to expect that even' measure
he is called upon to support will be
entirely in accord with his personal
ideas. If every member of Congress
should adopt that idea legislation of
any sort would be impossible. Long
years of power in Congress taught
the Republicans the value of organi
zation and unitj', and the lesson will
have to be learned by any party that
hopes to accomplish important legis
lation. The Democrats in the House
made a good start by passing the
Wilson tariff bill and followed it up
this week by the adoption of the"Mc
Creary Hawaiian resolution which
condemns the acts of ex-Minister
Stevens and endorses President
Cleveland's policy. The Democrats
in the Senate are not entitled to
graduate in unity, but they got to
gether this week and passed the
House bill for the repeal of the odi
ous Federal election laws, which was
signed yesterday by President Cleve
land. If they would get together on
everything and stay together it
would be greatly to their credit and
to the advantage of the Democratic
party.
Representative Bland's bill for the
coinage of the seigniorage is now be
fore the House, but as it has no order
from the committee on Rules behind
it and the anti-silver men are refus
ing to vote to make a quorum there
is some doubt as to whether it will
be able to maintain the right of way
until disposed of. Countless mis
representations have been made of
the attitude of President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle toward this
measure. Neither of them have pub
licly spoken one word either for or
against the bill, although Secretary
Carlisle did point out one particular
ly objectionable feature in the bill to
Mr. Bland that providing for the
issue of silver certificates in advance
of the coinage of the seigniorage
and Mr. Bland expressed his willing
ness to change the bill so as to make
the certificates issuable on the coin
age of the silver.
In deciding not to grant hearings
on the tariff bill the Senate commit
tee on Finance deeply olfended a few
gentlemen who had come to Wash
ington to instruct the committee and
air their views, but the Democrats
on that committee in so voting were
acting as they believe from the in
formation they have received the en
tire country wished them to act.
From north, south, east and west
comes in chorus "whatever is done
let it be done quickly," and the de
nial of further hearings on the tariff
means the saving of several weeks
time in the consideration of the bill
in the Senate. Senator Voorhees
j sized up the situation correctly when
he said: "Prompt and speedy action
on pending tariff legislation is re
quired at this time by every patriot
ic and business consideration." This
being a'fact acknowledged by busi
ness men who oppose as well as those
who favor the Wilson tariff bill, the
Republican Senators will do well to
consider the matter carcfullj' before
they attempt to jcarry out the ob
structive programme which is now
being prepared by their ablest par
liamentarians in the Senate. The
capitalists of the country are only
waiting a definite settlement of the
tariff question to invest their money
and inaugurate a period of prosperity
for everybody, not for a comparative
ly few fortunate individuals, and woe
be unto the Republican party if its
representatives in the Senate post
pone that prosperity by factious op
position to a measure that they know
they cannot in the end defeat.
The sub-committee of the Senate
committee on Foreign Relations has
concluded its Hawaiian investiga
tion, so far as the taking of testimo
ny is concerned. The reports of the
sub-committee will shortly be sub
mitted to the full committee for ac
... ...
tion thereon. Although there is
some talk about three reports there
is no real foundation for the belief
that there will be more than two a
majority report signed by Democrats
and a minority report signed by Re
publicans. There is no reason to
doubt which of these reports will be
adopted, notwithstanding publica
tions to the contrary in Republican
and anti-administration papers.
Mr. Anselum J. McLauren, the
new Senator from Mississippi, is not
widely known in Washington, but if
he is as able a man as the MUsissippi
ans in Congress say he is he will make
a fit successor to Senator Walthall.
Like "Private" John Allen, Congress
man from the same State, he carried
a musket in the late unpleasantness.

3I0DEHN MIRACLES.
Careful and Complete Investigation by a
"Journal' Reporter.
A Har-hiiiK Inquiry a to Start lintr State
ment Kerently PuMislieil.
From the Albany (X. Y.) Eveniiu; Jouniil.
A few days since. theTinies-I'nion. of
this city, published a remarkable letter,
under tlie head-lines of "An Athens Mir
acle." The statements made were so un
usual and the interest occasioned so
great, that an investigation by a "Jour
nal"' reporter seemed a necessity. The
letter was that Mr. Lewis ('low, of
Athens, N. Y., had been stricken with
kidney disease. The liest of medical
attendance was obtained, and failed to
he ne tit him. While in this almost help
less condition, he began the use of Dr.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and
it cured him:" and furthermore", that
there were other residents who had a
similar experience.
To verify these statements and get
what other information would lie of in

sentative lett Alliany and soon found
himself in the pretty'v illage of Athens.
It did not take long to satisfy the reiort
er that the ttateinents of Mr. Clow were
in every way true. The Rev. 1). Wil
liam Lawrence, pastor of the Lutheran
church. Postmaster True and Justice of
the Peace (Judlcr. when asked about it.
said that every word was true to their
knowledge. Mr. Clow was at death's
tloor suffering with kidney trouble. The
physicians failed to help him, and he
w:is cured by the use of Dr. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy. Also that
Favorite Remedy had performed as mar
velous a cure for Mrs. Casjicr Rrooks,
wife of the proprietor of the Robins
House, of that place.
Calling upon Mrs. lirooks. your re
porter stated his mission, aiid Mrs.
lirooks replied that she would be per
fectly willing to tell about her wonder
ful recovery.
"Yes," said she, "I had a hard tight

Remedy restored mine. My first troub

all to no purpose; but at this dark hour
a ray of light broke in ujmhi me. Dr.
Win. Smith, of Jewett Heights, was re
commended, and it is to him I owe my
good health, for it was Dr. Smith who
prescribed Dr. Kennedy s 1 avonte Keni-
edy for me. I purchased a bottle and
commenced taking it, and liegan to feel
better and kept improving daily, the
ulcers healed up, and my kidney trouble
left me entirely. My case was greatly
complicated, and did not stop here; I
suffered misery from t hone terrible head
aches so common among women, but I
kept on taking Favorite Remedy; and
am now entirely free from these dis
eases. I am told that I haveatumor that can
not le cured unless I go to a hospital,
but I think Favorite Remedy w ill, in
time, cure that. I have lieen so well for
the past few months, said Mrs. Hrooks,
with a smile on her face, that I do near
ly all the work alout the hotel, and am
getting along with about one half of the
help that we used to employ. I certain
ly don't want to pose as a miracle, but
what else could you call my recovery?"
Such a straightforward statement con
vinced the Journal rejorter that Dr.
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy was cer
tainly a'dodseiid to the sick and suf
fering. Hundreds of people in and about
Athens are conversant with the facts of
thesese cases. In shaking to Mr. Hor
ton, the well-known druggist of that
place, he said: "Oh, yes. we sell quanti
ties of Favorite Remedy. Why. there's

Mrs. RolM'it TitTanv, and many others.

Remedy is worth its weight in gold."
