The eastern pipers concur in report
ing an a. tive movement in all depart
ments of trade, and in noting an im
provenunt in niot brunches wnce the
political clouds have lifted. Undoubt
edly nome interests were unfavorably
affected by the uncertainty regarding
the remit of lite election, which b-'ing re
leased from doubt regarding the im
mediate future are alteady resuming full
operations, and it is probable that neaTly
all industries, are lieginning to show the
effect of a renewel of confidence.
Among the incidents indicating this is
the reported resumption of operations in
the Hocking Valley co.d regions an-l
others will come to notice from time
to time. On the whole trade of
the country this year has been good, but
the 1 res-cnt conditions present a con
siderably enlarged movement during
the remainder of the year ana n
preparation for & largely increased
business next year. The opinion in
eastern financial circles is that there will
be uo important change in the treasury
policy, and none that might be r.iad
need cuuue any apprehension, The
money circulation ia forty million dollars
greater than last year, and the heavy
disbursements to bo made by the govr
crnmcnt will still further swell the
amount available to the business of the
country. The prevailing trade condi
lions appear to lie highly reassuring and
the outlook as favorable as could be
desired. Bee.
The New York Timt-t is very unhappy
over the gineral result ot the recent
election. It supported Cleveland for
president and opposed Hill for governor.
It experienced, in consequence, a case of
what gamblers call " whip-saw it
lost at both ends. It is now trying t
blame the Irish voters, and it th'is reli-ve:
itself:
We advise the democratic leaders and
managers to accept it as a sittled but
that hereafter they inuat elect their pre-i
dential candidate wittiout tin: aid of
New York. They ought to set out ii.
future campaigns by putting this tat
into the republican column, and then go
about the task of breaking the republican
line in the wtrt. This must be done be
cause there are about 'J-l.t'OO legil voter?
in this city who do not care a rush who
is presitU-nt so long as they can kn-p
their noses and their friends' noses in tin
puMb: crib. These voters are inostly
Jrishmen. Their leaders are Irishmen,
and the candidates in whose favor they
habitually " sell out" the preidentitd
candidates are Irishmen. They have a
right to prefer the election of their can
didatcs for aldermen, coronors. assembly
men, sheriffs and mayors to the election
of their party's candidate for the presi
dency. Nobody disputes that, but the
democratic managers must understand
that they not only have the right, but
exercise it freely. The republican candi
didate for president always gets mnnj
thousand more votes in this city than the
local candidates of that party, while the
democratic presidential candidate falls
below the aggregate democratic vote.
Moreover, the Irish democratic vote in
tliis city it extraordinarily sensitive to
English opinion. It makes no difference
whether the opinion is forged, whether ii
is obtained by a republican trick, in
whelh.T it i the opinion of an English
idiot. It influence the minds of a grea
many Irishmen in New York, and it in
rlaences their votes, even against their
beliefs and convictions in regard tohom
polit'c?.
TWO DAKOTA8,
The people of Iotli North and South
Dakota want division and admission tis
two states and it will bo the duty of the
next congress to gratify them. It is po
siblc that the present house, at its D. cem
I.r session, accepting the verdict of th-
pcole w express! lat Tuesday, twyl"
, -
pans the division and abinission bill of
the hcnatc.though this is hardly probable,
and of cours" the senate will not accept
any modification or qualification in the
nature of a compromise. Nothing short
of the immediate organization of two
states will do.
The people of Dikot 1 h ive b::cn kept
out of their rights under the constitution
for many years. Either half of the great
territory is fully equipped for statehood,
and the enactment of the necessary legis
lation vesting both with that dignity
will be the first duty of the republican
party when it comes into possession.

The Costumes of Coretw
But tho colors aro what give tho streets
of Seoul such a quaint holiday appearance.
White or blue predominates, and the
long, flowing gowns, well starched and
ironed, glisten in the sun and blend their
colors together, making a dazzlinsr pict
ure together with the red of the children's
dresses and the occasional bright silk
gown of an official or well to do merchant.
The people mostly dress in imported
white cotton, victoria lawns and silks.
These are thickly padded with cottou for
winter wear, and then present a very
balloon like appearance. Originally they
colored tho cloth as a rule, but now v.hito
is tho prevailing color for the common
people, a custom which is accounted for
by the following tradition: White is the
mourning color and threo years the period
of mourning. Once, during a period of
ten years, thrpo kings died, necessitating
a change 0 raiment by the whole people
each time. It of courso was burdensome,
as a Corean wardrobe is rather extensive
and quite costly. In order, then, to avoid
the clilliculty in the future, tbey decided
to dress altogether in white and bo ready
for the caprice of their kings. Of course,
the wealthy aro riot pbligedto follow this
custom, but may dress as they pje?se.

THE OLD SETTLER'S YARN.
I tco by the county paper, 'Squiro,"
remarked tho Old Settler, "th't down in
the West Virgiuny woods or up in 'em,

This unexpected query of tho 'Squire's
uiuuo tho Old Settler gasp. Alter tlie
many exploits in chasing and overcoming
punt hers that he had in his time given the
details of to the 'Squire, this query con
veyed to him tho idea that all those tales
had been received by tho 'Squire with a
degree of incredulity that was not flatter
ing to tho relator, liut tho Old Settler
replied to it more in sorrow than iu
cnger.
""Squire," scid ho, "be I to 'spect that
yer recomemb'r'nco is playin' ye tricks, or
be 1 to ketch it frum yer remark th't yer
faith iu the hist'ry o' tho Sugar Swamp

"Wull, Major," replied tho 'Squire,
"that's a leadin' question, an' I 'bject to

know, ez we sav in tryin' cases. Put l il
uay thla much, Major, an hope it'll content
ye, an' that is th't my recomemb'r'nce
hain't playin' me no tricks, not by a two
gallon jug fulll"
"Yer 'pology is all light, 'Squire," said
the Old Settler blaudly. "I only wanted
to know how ye stood, that's all. Now,
cz I know, I'll perceed an answer j-er
question. Did 1 ever see a painter?
J.Iouutains an' uiountaiua of 'cm, 'Squire!
An' it'd ha' been a rippin' good thing fer

'cm, au' I rasseled 'em, an I hustled 'em,
till it got to be so th't it were a tecum
sight to see 'em tryin to git fer safter

"I heerd, wuPBt, Biimpin' 'bout Ihem

an' "
"Ye never heerd it right, then b'gosh, ;
exclaimed the Old Settler, "fer I hain't
never even tol M'riar 'bout it, an' the
nat'ral hist'ry o' them paint'ers hain't
know'd by no one else but me. Coldy
Ilardpate took to shiverin' so arter he had
ketehed an' cooped them paint'ers th't ho
shook the life outen hisself in less'n no

had the secret locked in his chist. I've
kep' it thar ever senco, but now I'm
agointer let it out, 'cause Coldy's mein'ry's
kinder ben sot on, an' I'm agointer show,
b'gosh, th't it can't be sot on ez long ez I

"I can't tell yo w'at the natur' o' Ccldy's
system wero fat mado its predomineeria
l'eatur a sort o' pcrpetyal ager, but he
had it, an' it kirn in good play, too, w'en
ho wero rasselin' a b'ar or a paint'er, fer
Coldy were ez strong ez a mulley ox, an'
wen he clutched his b'ar or his paint'er,
an' that ager o" his got to workin', it jist
shook the cverlastin' belix outen 'cm so
quick th"t they hadn't time to wonder w'at
wero nioviu' of 'em. Then ag'in it were a
queer thing th't his shiver never bothered
Coldv in drawin' bead with his rifle, an'
he kTd plunk the bull's eye, or the b'ar's
eye, ev'ry time. An' another queer thing
were th't water seemed to 'feet his shiver,
fer w'enever Coldy'd drink a tumbler o'
water his hand'd shake so th't durn nigh
all the water'd spill put. But contrary
ways an' queerest of all were th't Coldy
k'd fill a tumbler with apple juice chuck
to the top an git it to his mouth without
never losin' a drop.'
"Th uaety be a cur'ous patch o vines
th't growed on one edge o the swamp in
them days, but It didn't grow long arter
its oncommon pisen dispysition were foun'
out. It seemed to be kinder of a relation
o' the cow-cetch weed, an' shed a dust
often it th't tisety look like fog w'en it

then nobody were 6artin' an nuthin were

was a c'lction o' paint'ers o all sizes,
wrigglin' aroun' an' runnln' ag'in one an

hull citiwation were as plain to mo ez a

" (ioshflmightyl" I says to myself,
them paint'ers ban settled the hull busi

their travels, an' that dust has blinded
'em, sure ez criekets'll squeak!
"I'm gummed, 'Squire, if I wa'n't so
sorry fer them 'leven paint'ers th' was

'Squire, th't I nct'ly had to blubber like a

I tell yo. I k'd see to wunst th't the big

Tlie Ijiuiulrios of Paris.
Taking Paris and the suburbs as pos
sessing a population of 2,500,OCO, and
assuming 40f. a year to bo the laundry
bill of each inhabitant, that would repre
sent a total of 100.000.000.000f. annually
for .the laundry industry the half of
which sum is divided between the city
and tho suburbs. The several monster
hotels have an establishment that they
support in common where 12 tons of
linen can bo handled in a day and by 150
"male" laundry maids.
There are S00 public laundrie3 or la
voirs in Paris, of which 30 are floating
castles on the Seine, and 53 in the sub
urbs, giving employment to 63.15S wo
men and 10.GG3 men the latter aro ex
perts at the smoothing iron, and others
may say with Mantalini, their "life is one
dem'd horrid grind" at the mangle. A
floating wash house pays a river tax of If.
per squaro yard of its bottom per year. It
contains 1&0 places, represents a capital
of 72,000f., nets 41,000f. receipts, the ex
penses being 17.000f. Allowing for ex
tra charges, tho owners make about 23
per cent, on their capital.
Each "place" is let for about 1J francs
per day, though taken by the hour; this
includes hot alkaline water and other et
ceteras. The linen is only washed in
theso establishments; some have drying
lofts, but after being pressed by machin
ery tho linen is placed in a centrifugal
machine and whisked into dryness; some
times it is dried by hot air. Tho duties
accomplished, the linen passes into tho

Tbe Age of Trees.
Where the zone test can bo applied, we
know that the age imputed to tbe tree
will not err. in the way of excess. A
clearly marked ring Infallibly denotes a
season's growth. Assuming an unfavor
able season to have resulted in an unusu
ally thin, or perhaps an Indistinguishable
layer, one year's credit will remain unen
tered in tho tree's automatic ledger. On
this basis of computation the following
ages have been strictly verified in Ger
many. In that country, as in Finland
and Sweden, the pine and fir have attained
to from 500 to 700 years. The greatest
ascertained age of the larch (in Uavaria)
is 274 years, while the Bilver fir has
reached 429. The oldest known speci
men of the holm oak (near Aschaffenburg)
numbered 410 years; while in all the com
mon oaks about 820 years old the heart
was beginning to decay.
The maximum ages of other German
trees as found by counting the rings
is as follows: Red beech, 245; ash, 170;
elm, 1C0; birch. 200; aspen, 210, and aider,
143 ye"ars. The lime, beloved of the
fatherland, generally evades this test.
Probably oue of the longest standing of
all, it Is 6e!dom found iu a sound condi
