An analysis of Bradstreet’s report foi the past year shows that there was a de¬ crease of seventeen per cent, in the number of failures and a decrease of forty-four per cent, in the liabilities. The New Orleans Picayune figures it out that the South’s proportion of the liabilities represents twenty-three per cec; of the whole, or $18,000,000 against $35,00,000 in 1891. “It ap¬ pears from this showing,” comments the Atlanta Constitution, “that the South led the other sections in business re¬ cuperation and prosperity. Economy, hard work and a more intelligent sys¬ tem of farming arc the main cau:es of this gratifying change, and if we stick to these conditions we may confidently expect still brighter results.” Philadelphia maintains her reputation of being the city of homes, observes the New York World. During the five years ending December 31, 1891, there p ?re erected there 24,173 more ne v -ildi.-.gs than in N<- Vor :,vil 162 more ” in in New York, Boston and Baltimore combined. This great leal was due in large part to the custom in Philadelphia of building small houses for one family rather than huge struc¬ tures of “flat” tenements. When we observe the cost of new buildings the story is a different one. The average cost of those erected last year in Phila¬ delphia was $3338.88, in Boston -So, S4S.67, and in New York $17,500.58. Atlanta, Ga., according to a directory census recently taken, now has a popu¬ lation of 104,421. Building operations during the year 1892 were the largest in the history of the city. One thousand and sixty-one buildings were put up, at a cost of $7,000,000. Atlanta has main tained its reputation o. being “the Yankee city of the South” as the follow. ing statistics in the New York Post shows: There are within its bouadi ninety-four miles of street railway. Its business amounts to $149,OO0,uQ0 an Dually, and it contains 'i£ J mercantile bouses, 633 manufactories, and aineteea bank 3 with a capital of $5,5iij,090. ic has lesa . than . ninety-eight . . , no caurcntu, and ten public schools, twelve private rehools, ’ and six institutions for the edu carton of colored children.

They teem to fear a crisis in financial affairs.

Iramense crowds were drawn to the capitol, Wednesday, by the merely for mal ceremonies incident to the official counting of the electoral vote.

NO. T. AN INDIAN PRINCE’S ESTATE. The Maharajah’s Royal Stables at Jey pore. Jeyporc is the capital and residence of one of India’s wealthiest princes. The Maharajah’s estate covers 15,000 square miles and has a population of 2,500,000 souls. The city of Jeypore is encircled by a crenellated wall with seven gate¬ ways. Those are all well guarded dur¬ ing turbulent times in India. The city is typically Indian, with crowded streets and bazaars. In the center is the Mahara ¬ jah’s palace, beautiful gardens and pleasure grounds tiecs, adorned with fountains, shrubs. tropical plants and flowering The palace and grounds occupy one-seventh of the walled city, and pre surrounded bv a high embattled win built by Jch Sing when he leftAmer. One of the interesting sights in Jey¬ pore is the observatory, built by the cel¬ ebrated royal astronomer and founder, Jey Sing. It is one of the largest in India, and is icinarkable even to this date on account of the many curious in¬ struments, built dials, gnomons, quadrants, etc., of solid stone. Some of these astronomical instruments arc hundreds of feet in height and in diameter, and are of great interest to astronomers. Many of the instruments arc unknown to scien¬ tists at t lie present day, although they served the purpose of Jey Sing’s wonder¬ fully accurate calculations and ob serva tions. The royal stables are also of consider¬ able interest. They cover, perhaps, ten acres of land, with stalls on each side and largo exercise grounds iu the centre. There are several hundreds of fine horses, some of choice Asian blood from all parts of the country, of various build and color, from the finely spotted Arab to the fleet-footed graceful, delicately-limbed Deccan, the English Punjaub mares and blood-bay troopers, Fach horse has a spe¬ cial attendant, and each attendant knight of the horse—has several servants. ^ ac “ horSC *> doubb; T‘ i !" :d - although b# temperature ranges from 00 to 120 d , «Kre«« f ahrenhc.t 1 them are too much Winded and “ml most ruinously fat.

Even with these prices of say four cents a day, the people are happy and contented, and one never hears of trades unions or strikes.
