Dun A Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says: There are some good signs, but they do not yet extend to business generally. which hesitates as much as ii has done for months. Gold continues to go abroad, $2,550,000 having gone last week and the deficit of revenue is already over $9,500,000 forthe month. This state of facts with the failure of Congress to make provision for borrowing or for increasing the revenue, still operates to retard wholesome recovery, and the volume of domestic trade represented by exchanges through clearing houses is again about 7 per cent, larger than last year, as it was in the first week of the month, but is 33.7 percent, smaller than two y ears ago. a higher rate of decrease than for some time past. Industries are getting a larger demand for some products since the new year began, but rather less for others and no definite improvement appears in the prices of manufactured products or in wages. In the main it is a waiting condition, with much hope that positive improvement is not far off, but not very satisfactory evidence of it as y et. FKESIDENT FitKE.

Mexico and GuatemalaCity of Mexico special: It is reported e.qain that negotiations between Mexico and Gautemala over tlie international boundary dispute have come to a complete standstill. Th ■ particular reason for the cessation of diplomatic negotiations is not altogether known, but it is generally conceded that nothing more will be done until the arrival of the Central American Envoy named by two of the Southern Republics to assist in a pacific way in the settlement of the question at issue.

Within an hour a mob of 100 of Harris’ friends got together and armed themselves and swore vengeance on Morrison. At a late hour they were in pursuit of him, and if he is found and captured alive he will be hanged to the nearest tree. Harris, the murdered man. was well known all over the West. Dog Instead of ’Possum. James Bryant, a fruit and poultry dealer, was imprisoned at Muncie, Ind., upon the charge of selling unwholesome meat to Mrs. Daniel Keif. She purchased what she thought was an opossum from Bryant, and

I put the animal into the pot for a stew. It wis seasoned with delicacies and placed u on tl e table ready to carve, when Mr. Kif e,ime In.me and d;w>'-,-1 that the meat did not taste right.

SINKS IB TBE OHIO. New Orleans Packet State of Missouri Goes Down. BOAT STH IKES A ROCK Thirty of the Passengers and Crew Are Drowned. Panic-Stricken People Trample Each Other to Death in Their Frantic Efforts to Escape—Ome of the Yawls Overcrowded and Sunk. Die in Sijxht of Shore. The great Cincinnati and New Orleans steamer State of Missouri went to the bottom of the Ohio River at Wolf Creek, seventy miles below Louisville. Ky., at <» o'clock Saturday night and it is reported that thirty people met death. The steamboat was one of the largest steamers belonging to the Cincinnati and Memphis Packet Company, and was a new boat worth $60,000. She left Louisville. Ky.. at 10 o’clock Saturday morning, bound for New Orleans, with twenty-three passengers and a crew, making seventy-eight people. She had about half a cargo of furniture, nails, acids, etc., and ran smoothly until her dreadful accident that sent many souls to eternity. The trip was uneventful until the dreaded r >int known as the horseshoe bend, near Alton. Ind., was reached. Here the pilot slowed down, as the current was very swift, and turned his wheel so ns to avoid an obstruction known as Bullock rock. The rudders failed to respond tv the wheel and there was a grinding, crashing sound. The boat soon tilled and sunk. The shock was terrific and the boat trembled from bow to stern. Consternation seized upon the passengers and in a moment they were frantic. Without regard to consequences they rushed to the upper decks in the hope of delaying the inevitable, as the boat was rapidly sinking. Women and children were trampled upon, but It is believed all got out of the cabin. Then the scramble for seats in the yawls began. It was a fight for life, in which many combatants are believed to have gone to their death. The first yawl launched was sunk within twenty feet of where it struck the water. It is believed everyone in it was drowned in sight of the affrighted people huddled together on the sinking steamer. A second yawl was then pushed off It contained four women. This is believed to have reached shore. Just when there seemed some hope that by means of this yawl the passengers could be saved, the steamer gave another terrific lurch and literally broke into pieces, and in ten minutes from the moment the rock was struck nothing but the hull remained. The cabin, texas and pilot-house floated away, dragging down into the water everyone upon it. The lighter freight was washed from the main deck, and on this men, women and children clung as best they could, many, however. only to fall back into death’s icy embrace. Several succeeded by this means in getting into the willows and trees and were rescued by farmers and passing steamers. 1 Am flirmi iffmgmsdthßuM—M I j ! , i, administrators and others who a!1 undivided estates, are earnestly r< .molds Gra.el Road is now due an< re it paid.

She was never launched on the Missouri, but placed on the Ohio and Mississippi, plying between Cincinnati and New Orleans, with occasional trips to St. Louis. GENIUS AND MADNESS. Jurieu, the biblical student, been me crazy from studying the apocalypse. He fancied that the ten-horned beast was inside of him. Lamartine was of an exceedingly gloomy temperament, and during his spells of dejection nothing could in the least raise his spirits. Cowper’s madness is well known. Once he tried to hang himself, and at another time endeavored to commit suicide by drowning himself. Both Charles and Mary Lamb were dwellers in the borderland of madness. The latter was frequently placed in an asylum, the former but once. Masaniella became crazed by the success of the revolution of 1647 in Naples. He gave many symptoms of in sanity before he was assassinated. Descartes was the victim of auditory hallucinations. They always came when he was greatly fatigued, and he regarded them as a sign to cease work. Byron was believed by some of his contemporaries to be mentally unbalanced, and his career of strange wickedness gave much color to the supposition. Robert Burns never was well balanced. His excesses were wild in their extravagance and were generally fol lowed by spasms of repentance and melancholy. In Rome, during the days of Nerva, apples were 2 cents a dozen; cherries were 1 cent; walnuts, % cent; cucumbers were sold at twenty for 6 cents; lettuce, at twenty heads for 30 cents, aud artichokes at twenty for 60 cents. A writer in a Paris medical journal asserts that sedentary occupations predisposes to tuberculosis more than any otl ers. Among English and Italian students he asserts that 459 deaths out of 1,000 are due to this cause.
