There is a constant for St. Louis sand, many car-loads shipped away to different parts of the during every year. The value of this for building purposes is $2 a square or two-horse load. lhg to the Buffalo Commercial, there been received in that city the past sea nearly 1,000,000 barrels of flour, but this not as much as in several preceding sea The arrivals of grain, however, were ahead of anything on record. This year's reach 83,547,233 bushels, or nearly 000 bushels in excess of the best pre year.

The twefth annual report of the New York board of charities shows that the whole of recipients of public charity in the last year was.43,712-this including in dane, Idiot., blind, deaf and dumb, and pau pers.

Georgiaoffersspecial inducements to manu titurers of cotton, in that State, by exempt fiaspital employed therein from taxation for te.sears. Her example could be most properly asi pofiltably followed by all of her sister .e~a growing States. Independent of this rocess, that State has abundant natural ilitles, and can command labor very dessply. It is no wonder, therefore, that ~eorgia is looming up as a manufacturing itate, and all her factories are declartng M.ndsome yearly dividends. We are glad to learn that by the vote of th raecutlve Council, including members a1 kalveston, St. Louis, Savannah, Charleston Nashville, Cincinnati, New York and New Orleans, Mr. Henry 0. Hester. of this city has been elected secretary of the Nationa Cotton Exchange of America, vice Mr. S. H Buck, resigned. This is a deserved compll ment to our accomplished friend Hester, whc has so long and ably acted as the secretary oa the New Orleans Cotton Exchange-a positlor which, we are pleased to learn, he will still retain. Two results of the great distress in Eng land have already declared themselves: The tarst is the renewal of the emigration move ment. It will not be surprising if the United States, in the next few years, receive such ac Sessions from England and Wales as they did from Ireland during and after the Irish famine. The other result is the revival of vegetarian discussions in the English press. It is very comforting for the poor operatives and laborers who can't get meat to be toil that they are much better without it; but they had better come to America. The increasing production of ostrich feath .is on the South African farms, combined with a falling off in the d,:rnand at home, has led to a decline in the market rates for this oprduoe at the colonial sales. Feathers of of superior quality, however, fetch high prices. At a recent sale at Grahamstown thirteen splendid "primes," or perfect white feathers, realised a guinea each, or at the rate of $725 per pound. The average price for fi.e white feathers was $200 per pound, while blacks realized about $70 and drab or fancy eclors only $20 per pound. The figures representing the insurance bus lees of the United States, It correctly given Ii the publications made by the various Papers in this interest, are absolutely over whelming. The life insurance companis.s bold $400,000,000 in trust, and pay $:53r000,nr) amnually for deaths, and their obligations are at to pay $1,600,000,000, held by 700,000 fam ilIes. The fire insurance companies pay more than $50,000,000 every year for property de stroyed by fires, and then marine and acci dent insurance are to be added to the list. Some years ago the employeesof a prosper ,i New Jersey firm were accustomed to leave a portion of their earnings with their mployers, who paid interest upon the t. After a time the firm failed, d the question arose whether the ys thus left were wages due employees, or loans made by them to employers. If the former, they con ted preferred claims, if the latter they their place with other debts, to share division of the assets. The lawyers have led over the question for several years, it has just been decided that they were and not loans. internal revenue of New York sity shows that during the past year In at New York of ale sad beer 0018,U peaakges in balk as d j t-1 MesIabottl. ; of hamdhls, 414800 gallons; of abampasgs, Woal bsmkts and oases; of cor ds, 12,800 oases; of gia, 615,818 gallons; of rum, 49,720 gallons; of whisky, 44,694 gallons, and of wines the enormous total of 1,851,429 gallons,exolusiveof hampange.

These plants were brought here from the 8tate of New Yort by a well known florist, Mr. Gabriel Mare. and his selection is one of the linest ever brought to this city. What's in the wind now? All sorts of dis eases are in the wind, and they fasten on to all who are weakened and debilitated, and they do not let go again until they are made to. The air is loaded with malaria, and if you don't want to get it you had better purify your blood and recuperate your system by the use of Reed's Gilt Edge Tonic. It restores the appe tite, purifies the blood and tones up the whole system. ST3AMSBIP3. wAVAWA-ILOIDWA POrS. FOB CEDAR KETS.
