A GREAT RISE IN RAW SILKS.
tEacclted State of the European
Icets.
Among the recent arrivals from Eu
rope , returning after nearly eight years
residence in France to settle and resume
the practice of law in this , his native
city , is ex-Consul Peixotto , of Lyons ,
who is recognized both abroad and at
home as an authority in silk. The re-
.cent rise in silk in Europe , which has
affected foreign but American
, which imports from eleven to
twelve million dollars annually of this
material for home manufacture , natur
ally creates great interest among Ameri
can manufacturers , the total production
of all kinds of silk goods in the United
States now reaching over forty millions
of dollars annually. A Tribune re
porter called on Mr. Peixotto at his
office , No. 39 Broadway , and from an
interview gathered the following facts :
The advance in raw silks began in the
first week in November. An Italian
syndicate was formed with a reported
< > capital of 20,000,000 francs , and suc
ceeded without difficulty in obtaining
control of the principal markets. Milan"
Turin , Bergamo , Venice , Messina , Flor
ence , Verona in Italy , Lyons , Marseilles ,
Jit Etienne in France , Crefeld and El-
berfeld in' Germany , Moscow in Russia ,
Basle and Zurich in Switzerland , in fact
all the principal and secondary silk cen
ters participated in the movement.
Trices of all grades of silk advanced
from 2 to 5 francs the kilo and finer
qualities to 6 and 8 francs. The rise
'has continued in spite of the desperate
resistance of manufacturers , particular
ly those of Lyons , the greatest silk em
porium of the world , where it is assert
ed no money has been made in the pro
duction of silk fabrics for more than
-five years. This opposition , however ,
had little effect , though supported by
'the ' stubborn fact of long continued de
pression , not to say demoralization , in.
the business of silk goods. Having a
solid and legitimate basis , the rise in
prices continued and is still going on ,
and is likely to increase as the ciders for
.the trade 01 the new year come pouring
in , as pour in they are likely to do , that
capricious goddess Fashion having at
{ length , once again pronounced in favor
of pure silk goods , after several years of
coquetting with wool , cotton and other
materials as principal auxiliaries. The
famous dressmakers of Paris have is
sued their decrees , and the principal
fashion journals , both in Paris and Lon-
.don. confirm the ukase in favor of this
"material.
"The fact is , " said the ex-consul ,
"never in history had silk fallen so low
as before this present rise. In 18G8 the
best qualities of French orgauzine silk
sold for 150 to 160 francs the kilo ; in
1876 the minimum price was 75 to 80
francs ; at the commencement of the
present year prices had fallen to 53
Y francs. China silks , which commanded
81 francs in 1868 , had fallen to 34 and
36 francs this year. Italian and all
other sorts had suffered a similar disas
trous decline. The European silk in
dustry was reduced to starvation prices.
.Hundreds of thousands of growers and
weavers were compelled to seek other
occupations. Millions of mulberry trees
. were uprooted and other and more
profitable agricultural products plant-
, ed. There was a decrease in the pro
duction of crops in China as well as in
[ Europe , while such countries as France
and Spain , whose silks were esteemed
the best as to quality , declined both in
, quality and quantity. This year's crop
'in ' France , which formerly produced up-
.ward of two million kilos , fell off to
Jess than 600,000 kilos. In Spain the
, crop fell short 25 to 30 per cent , in Italy
.from 15 to 20 per cent , while China lias
lhad for export for several years past
.Scarcely more than 55,000 to 60,000
"bales.
1 "Business in silk goods for several
years has hardly paid more than invest
ments in United Slates bonds. De
pression in the silk trade , except for cer
tain novelties of extremely limited pro
duction , has universally prevailed.
Y "Notwithstanding all this , so varied
and diversified have been the uses to
which silk has been adapted that the
consumption all along has equalled the
production. Some few leading fabrics
have from time to time yielded hand
some profits , but in comparatively in
significant amount. Keeling and
throwing mills in France , Italy and
Spain were abandoned by the hundreds ,
\ The wretched raiser of silk fell a prey
; "j to the capitalist and was either driven
to ruin outright or to mortgages. Half
* * / the properties in France , anu perhaps
as many in Italy , arc under mortgage
to-day , while thousands are closed and
utterly crumbling to pieces.
"In face of this condition of things ,
viewing the actual state of stocks on
hand , the fact of manufacturers being
all but denuded of supplies , having
bought only from hand to mouth for
several years past , where formerly they
carried large quantities , the powerful
syndicate above alluded to organized
its campaign and has until now suc
cessfully prosecuted its work. I con
sider this work to be legitimate , having
for its object the permanent revival of
the silk industry , as well as for the im
mediate promoters. Silk has advanced
in the past two months from 10 to 20
per cent ; taking all sorts , the average
had been fully 15 per cent. It is des
tined to go higher. The demand for
pure silk tissues has partially revived ;
it will positively continue. Pure black
silk goods will again become as popular
as they were in the good old time when
considered them
our mothers never
selves dressed without a black silk
gown , the most elegant garment a
woman can wear. " New York Trib

Settling a iliiiister.
Charles n. was one of the most hard
ly treated exiles of all the princes that
have striven for a crown. The Scotch
men led him a sorry life of it when they
were taking care of him awhile in 1651.
On one occasion , when he was canvass-
in f the Scotch Presbyterians for their
vote and interest , he called , among
other places , at Rev. Mr. Guthrie's
manse of Stirling. As he entered the
room , the mistress rose to offer him a
chair , but her husband exclaimed :
"Stop , my heart ! The king is a young
man ; he can get a chair for himself. "
Charles concealed his anger until he
came into his inheritance , when he
hanged the Rev. Mr. Guthrie. Inglc-

A Western Ghost Story.
The following strange story comet
from the city of Burlington , Iowa , and
is vouched for by responsible parties.
There lives a few miles put from Burl
ington , in one of the suburban towns , a
merchant called Jones , who every fe\v
months goes into the city to replenish
his stock of goods. Last May he went
to Burlington for that purpose , and ar
riving late in the afternoon went direct
to the hotel he was in the habit of stop
ping at and registered. He told the
clerk that he wanted his old room , No.
84. and to have it all ready , as he would
not be in until late , for he expected to
visit the different stores , select his
goods , and finish up so as to take the
morning train. The clerk told him he
could have the room , but would have
for a bedfellow a Methodist preacher ,
who had already been assigned to that
room. He replied that it made no dif
ference so he would leave the door un
locked. He was out making his pur
chases and came in very late a few
minutes after 12 o'clock , midnight.
The light was turned down pretty low ,
and he proceeded to undress and get
ready for bed. He noticed that his bed
fellow had nothing but a sheet over
him , and , although it was not warm , it
was not very cold , and he concluded
that if a Methodist preacher could stand
it with a sheet as his covering he could ,
and so he got in. He was almost asleep
when he heard his door open , and look
ing up saw a young man and lady enter
and take seats on the opposite side'oi
the room. They had hardly entered
when the young man commenced to
make love to the gjrl in the latest ap
proved fashion kissing her and telling
her he would die for her , swim rivers
and kill men.
Jones says it got so amusing that he
poked his bedfellow in the ribs to
awaken him that he might enjoy the
fun , thinking it would be as amusing-
a preacher as to any other mortal. The
preacher showed no signs of awakening ,
and the love-making went on stronger
than ever. He punched again and
again , but failed to awaken his friend.
At last the pair got so far along that
Jones could stand it no longer , and , af
ter giving the preacher a good kick in
the side , raised up and pulled the sheet
down off of his face so he could see. As
he pulled the sheet down his hair stood
on end and his face blanched with hor
ror , for there beside him lay the corpse
of a beautiful woman with dark hair
and wrapped in a shroud , and a silver
dollar on each of her eyes.
When he recovered from the first
shock he sprang from the bed , and as he
landed on the floor , his face as white as
the dead body in the bed and his hair on
end , the young man went out of the
window , taking the glass and sash with
him ; the woman , "with a shriek , fell
fainting to the floor. Jones grabbed
the chair on which were his clothes and
started out. As he opened the door he
saw his mistake , as the number was 24
instead of 34. A few steps took him tc
34 , and , entering , he made sure his bed
fellow this time was alive. He didn't
sleep , and rose early and went down tc
breakfast Here , in the dining-room ,
the whole conversation was about the
mysterious action of the corpse. Some
who entered a few minutes after declar
ed the body had never moved or beer
moved , as the dollars were still on hei
eyes. Others thought the pair had fall
en asleep and the man had a dream of t
ghost , and , rushing through the win
dow , had frightened the lady. Jonej
never said a word , and this is th (
first time it has ever been told , anc
no doubt the mystery will now be clear
ed up.
It appears that the body of the deac
lady had beed placed in No. 24 , * and the
young man and lady were sitting ur
with it. At 12 o'clock midnight , as h
the custom out West , the watchers wenl
down to the dining-room for a lunch ,
which had been spread for them , anc
during their absence Jones , in his hurry ,
had entered room 24 instead of 34 , anc
had undressed and got in bed before
their return. Whether the woman whc
was one of the watchers ever married
the manwho had hardly finished his dec
laration of being ready to die for her ,
etc. , before he left her , at the sight ol
what he supposed to be the dead woman
rising , is not known. Cincinnati En

Unnecessary Work.
A lady who is convinced that at leas )
one quarter of the work done by womar
is unnecessary , says the world would go
on quite as well without it. She likens
it to an ottoman-cover she once saw a
lady work.
She was all bent up , and was putting
her eyes out counting ; stitches. "I don'l
get anytime forreading"she saidplain-
lively , as she picked up some beads on
a needle. "You must have a great deal
of leisure.
And yet she had spent more time em
broidering a ridiculous dog on a piece
of broadcloth than would have sufficed
to read twenty good books. It did not
have the poor merit of being economi-
ical , for the price of the materials would
have bought enough handsome damask
for two covers.
A friend of mine tells of seeing z
squaw scat herself by the town pump ,
roll a bundle of calico , cut out a dress ,
make it , put it on and walk off , all ir
about two hours. I have always regret
ted that he did not continue the storj
by telling me that the squaw spent hei
abundant leisure beautifully.
I would not have women reduce then
sewing to quit so simple a performance
but a good deal would be gained if they
thought more about living and less
about its accidents. Youth's Compan

Recently a man in the town of Roches
ter was sent by his father with a load o-
wood to sell at Rondout. He was tolc
not to take less than twenty shillings foi
it , "if he had to throw it off the dock. ' '
When he arrived he offered it for sale ,
and one man told him he would give hin
S3 for it "No , " said the-Rochester ver
dant , "I am going to do as pap said. H <
said I must not take less than-twentj
shillings for it if I had to throw it off thi
dock. " "Well , " said the other , "i
that's the case I will give you twentj
shillings for it , rather than see you dumj
it into the creek. " The twenty shilling :
were paid and the Mombaccus mai
went home. Kingston Freeman.

Among the many stories Lincoln used to
relate was the following : Trudging along a
lonely road one morning on my "way to the
county seat , Judge overtook me
with his wagon and invited me to a seat.
He had not gone far before the wagon be
gan to wobble. Said I , "Judge , I think
your coachman lias taken a drop too
much."t
Putting his head out of the window , the
judge shouted : "Why , you infernal scoun
drel , you are drunk ! "
Turning round with great gravity , the
coachman said : "Be dad ! but that's the
firs' rightful a'cision your Honor's giv'n 'n
twel' mont ! "
If people knew the facts they would be
surprised to learn how many people reel in
the streets who never "drink a drop. " They
are the victims of sleeplessness , of drowsy
days , of apoplectic tendencies , whose blood
is set on fire by uric acid. Some day they
will reel no more they will drop dead , just
because they haven't the moral courage to
defy useless professional attendance , and
by use of the wonderful Warner's safe cure-
neutralize the uric acid in the system and
thus get rid of the "drunkenness in the
blood.1' [ The American Rural Home.
