tWell, its all right; we havn't had much of
those kind of things, and we are now mak
ing up for lost time.
Diver News.
We havo no river news to-day. In fact,
we have had none for two or three days
past, and the reason of it is there has been
but little to get. It is our purpose, how
ever, to get all the news of a local sort,
from all quarters of the town; and if we
fail in the matter of the river, it must be
charged to the tardiness of the City Whar
finger In bringing tho boats up to the
Georgia Home Corner, where they ought
to be, and where they could be visited and
reported by us without having our boots
drawn off by the mud. It brother Huff
will attend to this little matter at once,
we will give him a first-class puff—and
nominate him for re-election next year.

There Is no doubt but the present condi

is fearfully depressed, and it behooves
every family to look oarefully to their ex
penses. Winter la coming on when chil

Cough, etc. Coughs asd Colds will pre
vail every where, and Consumption, with
other throat and lung diseases, wilt tarry

(teaching far the anils Bottom.
In 1875 there were In the United States
and Canada 7,729 failures, Involving s loss
of 1200,000,000. In tho first three quarters
of 1876—4th quarter not yet reported—
there were 7,689 failures; amount Involved
$160,000,000. If the 6th quarter of 1876
should equal—and it Is supposed It will—
the 6th quarter of 1875, the total failures
of 1870 will be 9.889, and the losswlU ag
gregate $230,000,000. The New York Bul
letin scorns to think these startling fig
ures should give us all encouragmeut to
hope for a prosperous year, as It shows a
rapid and thorough “weeding” out of
weak firms. In other words, when all
tbs small dealers break and get out of the
way the rich, strong bouses will have a
good harvest. The Bulletin seems to have
overlooked the fact that the “weeding”
prooeoe has swept from the business
world some names that two years ago,
and even one year ago, were considered
as strong as any now remaining; and this,
we should think, would awaken the sus
picion that the general condition of busi
ness needs strengthening and building up,
instead of weakening and their “weed
ing” out. The “solid bottom” will be
reached In time if currents cut as they
now run; but the Bulletin cannot now see
who will be found standing firm on the
solid basement when reached.
TBOI BI.K AT THE NJEW FACTOR X.
STRIKE OF THE BRICKLAYERS.
Yesterday the bricklayers on the new
factory struck because the company refus
ed to recognise their claim for wages dur
ing the late cold period, when they could
not work. We know nothing of the merits
of the case, and heard of the circumstance
above related too late to get fuller facts.
We have no fear, however, of anything
serious, because the factory company is
represented by gentlemen of too high a
sense of Justice, and too liberal in their
dealings with their employees, not to con
cede all that could be asked of them by
reasonable men. We suppose general
usage or terms of contract between the
parties, will govern the case.
A New Way to Preserve Fences.
A young friend of ours, who does a large
Insurance, real estate, and house-renting
business on St. Clair street, says the late
cold weather has bad a bad effect on the
morals of some people, and that fences
cannot be trusted from under his eye, In
some sections of the city. He says hls
fences have been torn down and burned to
such an extent that he has resorted to the
plan of having them taken into the houses
for safety, and tho result is Instead of the
fences inclosing hls houses, hls houses are
made to enclose hls ferioes. It is Just like
John to do that thing, and we shall not be
surprised to hear that he has had hls wells
taken In next.
The fact Is John knows, by keen experi
ence, that people, when cold, will have a
tire, at their own expense if possible, and
If not, at the expense of the next nearest
man.
Manners In Business.
There are ways of attracting custom as
there are ways of repelling it; and we are
reminded of the value of manners in bu
siness by an incident of our own expe
rience. when we accompanied some ladies
shopping In a quiet country town. The
shopkeeper's manner was well calculated
to drive people from hls shop. He was a
slovenly, bushy-haired man, with smile
less face, and suspicious eyeß that seemed
to regard every passer-by as a burglar
and every customer as a possible swindler.
Hls till was fitted with a patent burglar
alarm, which gave a clang every time be
opened it to change a ten cent piece. He
watched with the glance of a detective
every lady who handled a piece of goods,
as If she purposed slipping a whole piece
of Horrock’s cotton under her cloak. In
deed, hls entire manner made the party
feel uncomfortable and impatient to be
out of hls place. Finally, when one of tho
ladies gave him a (3 bill to pay for her
purchases, he put on hls glasses to ex
amine it slowly and carefully, then pulled
out the burglar-proof drawer with its ring
of alarm, closed It os second thought with
another clang, and hied away to the far
ther end of the shop to make sure from
an old bank note detector that the money
was not counterfeit; after which he mood
ily made change. The party have nover
called upon him since, and no member of
It ever will. The whole conduct of the
man said, “Look here, you people, you
can't cheat me; and yon can't have my
goods until I am satisfied about you. I
have every device for swindlers; so keep
your distance.” The result was he lost
custom, for no one cares to be suspected,
obviously, of being a thief. It is possible
to please a customer by your manner and
business arrangement; also to disgust
him or her by a petty aet or discourtesy.
Proper caution Is a good thing, but it need
net be exaggerated, as In this case, into
universal distrust and offensive suspicion.
A shopkeeper, to attract customers, must
see to It that the looks, as well as the
wares of hls shop, are iuviting.
The above Is a picture with a very glar
ing light, from one side of the counter.
Suppose a little light is permitted to steal
in on the other side—the side where tho
customer stands.
The pleasure of transacting business of
any kind depends as much upon the
humor and manner of those engaged as
upon the nature Itself. Let ( a customer
enter a store with a sharp suspicious look
determined to depreciate every article
shown, and to Insinuate, if not to openly
declare that every word spoken by the
salesman is grossly false, and uttered
with a view of swindling and cheating,
and that no statement made is worthy of
belief. What can such a customer ex
pect la the way of frank, cordial, hearty
treatment from his merchant? Then
again see the open-browed, warm hearted,
pleaaant voiced customer enter the same
store, and show a generous confidence in
those serving at the counter, and witness
the pleasure such a presence imparts to
the shop, and see too, which of the two
classes of customers gets the best bar
gains from honorable merchants.
A Watch that wai Nat Aolt at Auction.
Yesterday just before Mr. Harrison
commenced hls auction sale of oranges,
mules, Ac., he pulled from hls pocket a
good old sterling silver watch, and told
those about him that he was going to sell
it It eo happened—and was It not curi
ous? That Mr. H. F. Everett was one or
tbe party present and he immediately
asked to see the watch; and opening the
case, pointed to his own name scratched
on the inner ease, where be had pnt it
with the point of hls knife. He stopped
tbe sale, and claimed the property. It
seems that he had loaned the watch to a
party (now serving on the police of the
elty) and that party had traded it for a
eow. Mr. Harrison was going to sell it on
account of the man who gave hls eow for
it. We don't know “what he will do with
It”

“I think, if I recollect right,” said
the captain, ns he put the blank end
of the pudding towards the mate,
"that I got it somewhere up the

“I thought,” the mate observed, as
he slewed the plum eud towards him,

i These deservedly celebrated snd popu

In the healing art, and proved the fallacy
of several maxima which have for many
years obstructed tho progress of medical
selenes. Tho false supposltion that “Con
sumption la incurable” deterred physi
cians from attempting to find remedies
for that disease, and patients afflicted
with it reconciled themselves to death
without making an effort to escape from
a doom which they supposed to bo una
voidable. It Is now proved, however, thut
Consumption can be cured, and that It has
been cured In u very groat number of
cases (some ut them apparently desperate
ones) by Hchenuk’s Pulmonic Syrup alone;
and In other cases by the same medicine
in connection with Hchenuk's Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both,
according to the requirements of the

Dr. Schenvk himself who enjoyed unin
