Belative to the business outlook the
New York World says perbaps the most
ouraging features of the commercial
situation at the present time is the con.
dition of the foreign trade of the coun-
try. Last week, for instance, the exports
of domestic products from this port
showed an increase of about $400000
and the lmports a falling off of nearly
$5,000,000 as compared with the corre-
sponding period last year. On the one
hand the increased exports show that
we are finding a better market for our
surplus products of 1884, while on the
other hand the diminished importations
indicate clearly thatthe American peo-
ple have learned a wholesome lesson in
economy from the depressed condition
of business since the memorable “Loom”
of 1880, The chuage must prove of lasts

of the appropriation bills have been

senator is selected. Then, in case of an
adjournment, the governor will recon-
vene the legislature to pass the appropri

find a senator elected. The thing has all

it was requested al the same lime, that
the Kussian government should rend an |
answer that would reach Dowuniug street

To this proposal Russia sent no reply

ground that the withdrawal of ber troops

Grant would not live more than forty.
eight hours, while one or two held tha
twenty-hours was the longest that he

“I suppose the General has written in
his book for the last time.”
Said this party, “It is a mistake to say
be will leave his book unfinished. He
nas finished the second voume, and is
correcting it. They should have provid.
ed him with a stenographer, and then he
contld have written four times as much as
he has.”

the progress of the disease as well as the

when bis end is approaching. He awaits
the final snmmons with the grim stolidis

‘hat he might be allowed a little more
