Thi Ledger is eminently correct
when it esys that folks who went to

that It is an easier thing to attempt

Until recently it was assumed that
that great work was about as reirly
perfect as any work of th* kind could
be, but words multiply and Inoreaee
so rapidly that almost every decade a
new and revised edition Is required
in order to ktep paoe. Suob revision
does not merely comprise the addi
tion of new words and dtfluitions,
but the complete resetting of the
great book, and the eleeuotyptng of
the same. The ooat is very heavy,
but It must be incurred la order to
keep the great unabridged complete

In looking around the city hunt*

the conclusion will be reached that
one of the most dlscoursgiug things
to a alek person is to bave a formida
ble array of mcdlotne bottles and pill
boxes, spoons, glasses, ate, arrayed in
full sight. Everything of that kind
should be kept in an adjoining room,
or at least where the patient -a a not
see It. Let everything be kept neat
and trim; and, whenever It le possi
ble, let the eye rest upon something
pleasant to look at, such as fruit or
flowers. Good nursing la generally
one-half of the battle with dlaeaae,
and the nurse who understands her
business, and is a good taotiolan, le
always easeful to keep from her
charge everything that can possibly
offend. 1 Poverty does not .prevent,

The psat few weeks have devel*
oped fsw striking features relating to
business in teles ts of the oountry-
Advices to Bradsifeet’e show that the
steadiness of values after the remark
able activity of general trade pro
ceding the holidays and the gradual
advancement of prices from the mid
dle of last summer is strong evidence
of the .oindneea of the principles
upon whioh the revival of prosperity
bus been founded. Together with
the usual relatively qulesoeut ooudi
tlon of business the first week of the
year, came th* widespread storm of
the past four days to obitru t the
movements of products throughout
he northwest, West, south, ad and
particularly the south. Level-headed
toM. fldenoe in the future with oon«
servailve estimates as to its promts s
of prosperity have marked the prec
tical operations of ttadro-p*dple r
manufacturers and fluencie s for the
Week. The heaty iilul moderation in
the attitude of the business public at
a, season when a. general reaction
m|gbt occur without proving any
real or permanent set-back to the
common prosperity Is peculiarly
gjtatlfylng at the opening of 1886.
Block speculators and exaggeraton
in all linea of industries,
together with many trade
Journals, have been Indulging
in much unwise enthusiasm aa to
greet expansion and wonderful ac
tivity which were to be euddenly de
veloped everywhere with the termi
nation of the holidays. The result of
the business of the first week of tbe
year, though stock speculation and
tbe movements of general merchan
dise were 'lighter than for many
months past, has been no diminution
o'the universal faith in better things
for the future, and olearly shows how
little the “talk” of interested people
afleots either values or tl e ruling sen
timent of tbe real business public.
Manufactures at the east and south
are talking of the advisability of reg
ulating the production of pig iron,
refined Iron and steel, ateel rails, and
other goods to the country's con
sumptive requirements, an 1 are pur
chasing raw materials with an un
usual disregard of speculative oper-.
ations. The steady advanoe In prloe
of steel rails since the mid-summer
minimum has not been fully sus
tained. Borne transactions were
reported at the aaeteru mills
at a reduction of |l to $2 fr m '.ha
nominal quotations of |S6 per ton.
This has been expected and tdoea not
seriously disturb the market or
change the calculations of the steel
rail manufacturers.
Blocks of cotton and wool good*
are muoh lighter at the mills in tue
east than last year at thta tim?, and
Jobbers and commission men point
to higher and firmer prioca, speaking
hopefully of tbe preeent out
look. That they have bought more
freely of late at the appreciation Is
the best commentary upon their
present position. Grooery staples
and dairy products followed tbe
oourse of tbe preo ding two weeks,
moving In smaller quantities. Toe
early break iu wheat was followed by
somewhat freer exporta and a moder
ate raaotion upon steadier markets
abroad and limited reoaipta as tbe re*
suit of the stormy weather. Prloes
ruled steadier but lower the laet of
the week, and railing waa numeri
cally light.

Thera Is probably not a better In
stitution In the state of Georgia than
the Eigle and Phenix savings bank
of this city. Bo far aa our informs*
tlon goes it is the only one of the
kind in tbe slate, nor Is there, or oan
there bi>, a stronger or safer one. It Is
strange that more such banks have
not been established, not only in th s
state but all over tbe aiutb, wheu
such precedents as charactertae aiml
lar institutions In Massachusetts are
presented. The Massachusetts s ate
oommiaaionen of sa rings hanks have
Just concluded their report. We have
not seen tt, but thr s'atement is made
by those who have examined tbe ad-
vanoa sheets that the gain that le
represented In the deposits appears
f iom other eonroee as being quite gen
eral through the New England states,
which must be looked upon as
favoreble to the oiroumstanoes of the
oommon olasa of people; end when It
is understood that the increase in
Connecticut is mostly in tbe man a-
featuring towns, It speaks well 'or the
state In the thrifty condition of Its
industrial population. For Maasa*
ohnsetta the number of open aooounts
is given as 848 787, and the amount
of deposits aa 6274.998,412 93, an In*
arena* of 4 per oent in the latter over
that of tbe preceding year. In addi
tion to tbe deposits, there should
be added 812,061,263 46 as sur
plus, .guaranty fund, etc
Tbe assets are reckoned at
$287,069,678 89, whioh are Invested
proportionately aa follows: In
United States bonds, 6 per oeut;
bonds, 6} per oen'; rirortgcgi-a of reel
ee'ete, 36 per oen<: personal seourkt y,
28 per oent, sod lajr pet pentlasuu-
drles. It will be observed that the
favorite securities are tboee of mort
gages on real rotate, which, with
tboee on personal security, amount
to 68 per cent of the total, Th* earn
Inge for 1886 amounted to 4 88-100 p r
oent of the eaea'e, of whioh
4 14100 per oent wee declared
as a dividend, theesme, within 1 1<0
per oent, aa was <*eolared the year t *
fore. The annual expenses of the
corporations were 6 ptr oent of the

If the-Washington correspondent
or tbe Onsrteeton New* and Courier
is to ha taken ss authority, there la
likely to be k small sis*d war on the.
silver question. From the special to
his paper we aria to infer that the sil
ver tabu intend to fight ths adminis
tration. He atatsetbar Representative
Hemphill, who has bsSn mads a
member of the boose committee on
coinage, weights sod measures, pro
poses to make a speech on the silver
question at the earliest opportunity
As to the c imposition of the commit
tee Mr Hemphill, who lavora the
repeal or modification of the Bland
bill, says that the silver matter will
be Uken up without pr* jndine aud
thoroughly dlaoussed before a
bill Is framed. An «ffort will
be made to harmonist preeentoon*
flio lng interests, but the work will
up hill all tbe way H) rou gh* On
the other hand, Chairman Bland, of
tbe ooinage committee, is outspoken
in the declaration that the commit
tee was made up In the interest of a
suspension of silvsr coinage, and he
further says that matters have reach*'
ed a oriels aDd he will at once Inau
gurate a war on the administration
for the policy enunciated by Presi
dent Cleveland in the last annual
