There is no occasion for general alarm in commercial and linancial circles because of the frequency of business failures. It is true they have rapidly increased in number during the past few months, and it is equally true that many of the failures involved large amounts and were of institutions that had borne the reputation of being very substantial and wisely conducted business enterprises. JUtt the truth is that what we arc now healing every day in the way of assignments and suspensions is really acting as a safety valve for the general commercial welfare. The expansion of all kinds of business during 1882 was unquestionably beyond the demands of the times, however prosperous they appeared to be. Railroad construction, which is one of the first, features to feel the coming of prosperity or the depression of hard times, was carried on to an extent far in excess of reasonable cause. A statement from an authentic source is that there were built during the year an average of thirty miles of railroad each day. As the harvest came on and it became more assured each day that the crops in general would be most bountiful the too quick business man began preparations for a fall trade on a basis that strained all of his resources. Legitimate trade was carried to that point where speculation begins, speculation on future sales, not in the regular order of things but in the belief and hope of making more money in a few months than has been made in a year's time previously.
The fall trade was not what it was expected to be. There was a wholesome volume of business everywhere, but it did not reach the abnormal proportions calculated upon. With the coming of the lirst, of the year, the time for casting up accounts and securing a reckoning of atlairs naturally enough came the discovery that the immense supply of goods must soon be paid for, and that they had not been converted into money with which the payment was to lie made. Consequently many men found themselves compelled to make assignments for the benetit of their creditors. The fact of the large increase in the weekly reports of failures of lateis owing to this business custom of striking a balance the lirst of the year, and it is safe to predict that after the lirst of next month the reports will gradually decrease as to both the number and amount involved.
The producing classes are not feeling any stress of bard times. On the contrary, they are in better condition than
usual. The farmers were enabled by the abundance of the crops to pay debts incurred the year before, when fortune had been very lack with them and having been taught the severe lesson of prodigality, they were not inclined to spend all they had left after paying their debts. We speak advisedly when we say that in the surrounding country this is undoubtedly the case. There is every indication of a prosperous spring business for the mercantile community, and merchants need only be careful in their transactions to realize the good times that of right are due them.

THAT BAD BOY.
•^*Aatvy
walked right in and pulled off his coat and threw it on the lounge, where the dog was. The old maid was asleep, but the dog barked, and pa said, 'That cussed boy has bought a dog!' and he kicked the dog, and the old made woke up and said, 'What is the matter, pet?' Pa laffed and said, 'Nuthin' themazzer with me, pet,' and then you ought to have heard the yelling. The old maid covered her head and kicked and yelled, and the dog snarled and bit pa on the pasts, and pa had his vest off and his suspenders unbuttoned and he got scared, and took his coat and vest and went out in the hall, and I opened the door and told pa he was in the wrong room and I knowed it, and he came in our room and I locked the door, and the bell-boy, and the por ter and the clerk came np to see what ailed the old maid, and she said a burglar got in her room, and they found pa's hat on the lounge, and they took it and told her to be quiet and they would find the burglar. Pa was so scared that he sweat like everything, and the bed was awful warm, and he pretended to go to sleep, but. he was wondering how he could get his hat back. In the morning I told him it would be hard work to explain it to ma how he happened to net into the wrong room, and he said it wasn't necessary to say anything about it to ma. Then hagaveme $5 to go out and buy him a 'ew hat, and he said I might keep the change.
I would not mention it when I got home, and I got him one for ten shillings, and we took the So'clock train in the morning and came home, and I s'pose the Chicago detectives are trying to fit pa's hat on a burglar. Pa seemed offully relieved when we got across the state line into Wisconsin. But you'd a died to see him some out of that lady's room, with his coat and vest on his arm, and his suspender hanging down, looking scart. He doesn't lick me any more or I'll tell ma where pa left his hat.
LiANGRTRY IN ST. LOUIS.
An Interview With One of the English Members of the Company Wlio Was A grieved at the Newspapers.
The arrival of the Langtry "crowd" in St. Louis has started the interview business in that city. After interviewing the Lily the Post-Dispatch man overhearing two members of the support, proceeded to interview one of them with the following result: "Unto one of these discardeis of the queen's aspirates—a tidily-dressed and not bad-looking young fellow who a few minutes before had made the startling announcement that his salary was two pun' ten a week—the reporter approached, and in a quiet way, after announcing himself as such, sought to obtain some desired information. The two pun-ten young men, however, raised his eyebrows haughtily and said: "1 decline to be hinterviewed, sir. I am a Hinglishinan, you know."
Reporter assured him that one of the written laws of the Post-Dispatch local force positively forbids the interviewing of Englishmen under pain of discharge, which the young man said was "ighly pwapah. The reporter followed up his diplomacy by nanding the twelve-dollar-a-week young man a cigar, under whose influences he allowed his insular reserve to de part and his conversation to lapse in the direction of something more interesting than the inevitable salary-.per-week topic which'th® remainder of the company were still discussing with deep interest. "You Amewican wepo'tahs are such tewible fellahs, you know, that we'ardly likes to talk to you, you know, [/fitter.] Now, ain't you, you know [Titter.]
Tlie reporter, diplomatically inclined, acknowledged that American journalists, as a rule, are a singularly depraved and degraded class of persons, and that he himself was probably the only exception to the rule, which reassured the Englishman, who went on to say: "Now, the Chicago wepo'tahs, you know, are a most disgwaceful set of fellahs. Of course, between you and me, it was all vewy well, you know, to pitch into Mrs. Langtry, who is not a hartist, but we, you know, are hartists, 'aving'ad London liengagements, but in Chicago the cwitics pitched into some of us 'ot and 'eavy, you know. What do you imagine they said about me, you know
The reporter could not think of anything bad enough and acknowledged that the question was a poser. "They actually said that I was a 'am." "A 'am!" "Yes, sir, a 'am I who played leading sentimental business at the Hadelplii, Leeds, was called a 'am. "Butwhat is a—ham?" "Why, bless yer, yer don't know what a'am is? it's the smoked'indquarters of an 'og. The hidea! 'E might just as well 'ave called me a round steak or a boiled leg o' mutton, you know."
CIRCUMLOCUTION.
An Amusing Instance.
The circumlocution office so effectively satirized by Dickens is nevertheless still in existence in England. A rather amusing though exasperating instance of "How not to do it" recently occurred at one of the English dockyards. The Channel fleet had weighed anchor at Plymouth, to undergo some necessary repairs. In looking over one of the vessels it was found that one of the copying machines in one of the officer's rooms was worn out, and the paymaster was ordered to procure a new one, which would entail an expense of fifty cents.

It was expected that Mr. Pattison would accept the escort of the American Club of Philadelphia from the executive mansion to the capitol, but he refused, and accompanied by the joint legislative committee and Governor Hoyt, walked to the cupitol a few moments before 12 o'clock, where had already assembled the members of the legislature.

One of Mr. Vanderbilt's Schemes. CLEVELAND, Jan. 16.—A special dispatch from New York states that W. II. Vanderbilt caused the Lake Shore Railway Company to issue between six and eight millions in bonds to pay for the Nickle-Plate stock he bought, and that when he proposed this scheme at a meeting of the Lake Shore directors, held some time ago in Erie, because the laws of Ohio and New York prohibited the consolidation of competing lines, the Hon. H. B. Payne and Amasa Stone, of this city, protested and resigned. These gentlemen were seen to-day, and asked about the truth of the report. Mr. Payne said he resigned as a director of the Lake Shore last November, and the resignation was final.

j.
Lint. Danenhower Thinks it is Very Plausible. CHICAGO, Jan. 16.—Lieutenant Danenhowewer was asked, last night, what he thought of the letter of I. D. West, or that portion of it which gave an account of the finding of two of the second cutter's crew of the "Jeannette," one dead and the other dying. "I think," he answed, 'tlie story a plausible one. for this reason I am sure that Seaman Alfred Kuehne had a Bible, and the name 'Peter,' in the fragments of a journal kept, evidently refers to a seamen, Peter Johnson, who was called 'Peter' by his comrades.
