It is evident our exports will greatly be in excess of imports, and mainly of breadstutrs, meat and cotton, but .-the excess will be paid - for largely by American securities held abroad. I wish they would all come back, still some gold will come and our domestic production oi gold will stay nere.

A CUB IOnS PRESENTIMENT. The Singular Experience That Kef el St. Lonis Man in Europe. St. Louis Republican. A few years ago there resided In St. Louis two brothers both now deceased whose names were and are "as familiar as household words" in this community. Partners . in a large and successful business, which had brought tbem in an ample fortune, they wera bound together by the closest ties o- affection, and their fraternal love was not the least remarkable feature of characters universally respected and admired. At the time of which we speak the elder was in the enjoyment of perfect health, while the younger felt the necessity ot tne rest and recreation afforded by a trip to Europe. Hs was fortunate enough to secure the company of a . well known citizen, to whom we are indebted ior the following facts. They bad traveled leisurely through a portion oi tne continent and reached the little Tillage ot Chamouni, in Switzerland, where they expected to remain a few days and then continue their journey. Returning to the hotel at night after an excursion to the ice fields around Mont Blanc, our informant, whom we will call Mr. D- , said to his companion, ''Well, E , let us lay out our plan for to-morrow. so that we can start right after breakfast and do what we have to do comfortably." E , contrary to his usual custom, manifested no Interest In the programme of pleasure, and intimated that he was about ready to go home. I) expressed bis surprise at this sudden change of mind, but told him that a night's sleep was all be needed to revive bis spirits and restore the enthusiasm which bad so unexpectedly evaporated. The other did not think so, but was willing to retire early and try the experiment. Xext morning E announced bis intention of returning to America as soon as possible. Profoundly astonished at' this resolve, D inquired the reason. "I am," said bis friend, "impressed with the idea that my brother is ill, very ill, and I must go to him at once." In vain was he reminded that the last letters received from home justified no such supposition; that the brother was tben well, and that there was absolutely no ground for believing his health impaired in tbe least. E admitted the force of the argument, but was sot convinced. He declared that something told him his brother was seriously indisposed; that the impression came upon him the day before and bad deepened ever since, and that he must and would go home. Finding his purpose unchangeable, L , of course, yielded to it, and within 24 hours they were homeward bound. Arriving in New Yord E fonnd letters informing him that bis brother had been smitten by the disease which finally ended bis life. We think a comparison of dates showed that the attack came on tbe very day E had the presentimentin Chamouni. 6,000 miles away. It is hardly necessary to say that such things are uncommon. Books treating of this branch of tbe so-called 'supernatural" are full of cases apparently as well authenticated aa the one we have given. Usually, -however, the presentiment is conveyed in a dream, or in tbe wakeful hours of night. In this instance it appears to have come when all tbe senses were awake and active, and amid scenes extremely unfavorable to the operations of a morbid fancy. Moreover, E was a practical, common-sense man in the worlo, sound in mind and body, and if any thing, deficient in Imaginative power-iThe presentiment was literally driven into him, and its verification makes the mystery complete. He probably would bays been the first to laugh at such an idea in another person, and evidently received it himself under stoutest protest. The Art of Household Beauty. Beauty as applied to domestic life has never been more generally studied than at present. Our mothers and grandmothers, 30 or 40 years ago, would liave been perfectly amazed at the importance which we attach lo mere decorations; and yet we are not wrong in thinking that we have made a step forward since ibeir days. We are learning that we may do our work and live our lives as well and efficiently in a lovely home as in . one that is bare and plain. Perhaps we are comprehending, too, that a large part of our children's education Is obtained through, their surroundings. The rooms In which they spend their brat years, the landscapes on which they gaze, the hills, the woods, and th streams by which they wander, have much to do in giving their young minds impressions which will never be wholly effaced. If those who devote large sums to arraying their little ones in splendor would retrench about dress, and, instead of finery, buy books, pictores and flowers for the home, they would be repaid by and by. Refinement, courtesy and the gentleness of Rood breeding are not Imparted to any on in a week or a year. Tbe are tbe slow, bnt sure, development of home teachings, examples and associations.
