World sunt a circular to the presi
dents of the chambers rs commerce
in a number of ihe principal cities of
the country, asking for bii• f r-c
sponses as to the causes of the pres
ent depression in bu-jiness, its extent
and character, the remedy fir the
evil and the outlook tor the ,u ure.
The answers show that v riou • cam s
are assigned for the bard times, but
all rxprr-ss that the but
tom has been reached, and that frjtn
this time forth aa improvrmstit may
be ooked for. Several of these gen
tlemen express the opinion that 1885
will make a fair show in the way of
business revival.
THE QUESTION or E:«ICJOa LICENSE.
Since the action of me cify crunch
on Wednesday night affixing thi
prioe of retail i 4 quor license in the
city at SSOO, our fellow citiz os en
gaged iu ths sale of liquor have been
very considerably exercised,and have
held several conferences, as we learn,
to determine upon a common course
of action to meet the present emer
gencies, but we are not a prised ot
the adoption of any progr imiae. Ii
has, however, put the pric of drinks
up to fifteen cents each from a dime,
which is just in the line of reform
had in view by r using the price of
license to SSOO, and if they maintain
that price it will very smsibly curtail
the aggregam number of drinks
taken in the town during any one
day. So they are thus aiding a cause
that they oppose. It has been sug
gested by some of tne dealers that
they combine and retaliate upon the
City Council by taking no license and
to that extent "chop off the public
revenue.” This would have been a
popular idea had it not been attend
ed wi;h the inconvenience to some of
the dealers by “cuopping uff” their
revenue also. In speaking of th s
plan of fignting yesterday, a gentle
man who is fully in earnest, and
amply abie to do what he proposed,
authorized us to declare to the City
Council that if the city issue no
license at ail, the amount thus
"ohoped i fit” from trie pubiio reve
nue, should be made up by the
friends of temperance.
This a recent development that
may properly he place ! u:,d r the
head if civil service reform, when a
retired General f the army in oner
to conduct a perg ul quarrel with a
private or conspicuous individual
may have a 8 natur avail himself of
that position to cM! for doeum: nta
purloined from the Confederate
archives, thus forcing the private
quarrel of the retired General inm
the public business of the people.
Wesiy private individual advisedly
because Mr. D ivis, to whom we refer,
is not a cl z n of t is country ora y
other that we know of. Senator
Hawley, at t .e instance of General
Sherman of course, has succeeded iQ
calling upon the President forcer
tain document or historical n-me
niscecces including a letter from
Alex Stephens to Herschel Y. J ho
son and a recent message of J ffr
son Davis to the Confederate Con
gross. All rbis now originated in a
club room in St. Louis over a little
too much champagne, and Sherman
instead of repi llim- into proper mm
hood has run line a whipped sohool
boy to the War D/partmenc for
protection. B. fore tne thing ends,
and it will all end in a smoke,
it will have cost the government
some thousands, perhaps, and the
whole result attained will be the
ventilation afresh of Mr. S ephens’
hostility to the Divis government,
and a useless parade of that most
unfortunate disagreement ‘Cm
bono?” nobody’s; but Gen Sher
man’s insane hostility to Mr. Dnvi
will be cheaply gratified, and tne
old healed wounds of that old sa i
war will be reopened, bad blood
stirred up. and Snorman's vanity
tickled. The charge he uttere o
against Mr.D .vis will not be verified
pothieg of that sort, but enongh wi!
appear ou the surface to gratify th
audience at this sensational recital,
and enough wili be pr sumed to vr
dicate Sue;m in, if not to con lem [
Davis. This is evidently a Oneap
John job.

I pray God that my text may be

yet sought Christ, As many of the

nesses arc not ready, and somtlmes
because the plaintiff is not ready,an .1
a imatimee because the Judge is n >t

men and women who have adj oruned
the cause of the soul’s salvation from
youth to middle life aud adjourned i
from health to sickness,an adjourns ‘
it, uom prosperity to adversity, until
there wili bi at, inflni.e bdl of costs

that the King’s business requires
ha He I Before you attend to it your
mental faculties may rail Your in
tellect works admirably now; but in
this country the ratio of intellects
that are giving out is larger evey
year. S mathing in the climate urges
men on to such extremes, and the
pressure on active men is so great
that before they are aware of it the
brain softens or more suddenly the
mind drops dead trom its throne.
Pythagoras, studying philosophy,
was so anxious to keep awake and im
prove all his tims that with a string
he tied the hair of his head to a beam
above, so that the very moment he
nodded in sleepthepain would awake
him. So there are men now who
h vo such morbid and unhealthy no
tions about how much work it is
necees#,ry to do that they never take
any rest. They cannot stand the
at less. The most brilliant are in the
must p. ril. What if the mind, that
God has given you for high and holy
uses, should oerisn before you have
found Christ! A heavy fall, an acci
dental stroke on the head, a sudden
affliction for which you are not ready
may kill your intellect, and so your
last chance for heaven pass
away, though you should live
od for many a year.
In the great populations that occu
oy the asylums of the country or are
carefully | guarded in private dwell
ings,are hundreds of men and women
who expected some day to be Oaria
ttius. They had abundance of time,
they thought; but mental disorders
dropped upon them bafore they had
decided the matter, and although
now they are irresponsible and shall
not ba brought to aooount for ary
thing they do under this mental
eclipse,y at they shall at last be called
into judgment for the loDg years of
meutai health, when they neglected
the Gospel. What will become oi
them I leave you to judge, While
vour reason acts, put it to the grand

magnific at torch of your intellect,
lest G <d put it out in darkness toi

I would have you regard the text
b cause you may have come n°ftr to
the end of G id’s patience. Ther"

ways of getting out of life—by fall, by

the case he knew the bank was
broken and opposed th reception of
another dollar as a deposit.. He
offered a resolution that the property
be assigned for the benefit of credit
ors, and that the depositors be pre
ferred. This whs adopted, and Harp
e" & Brother wore rn t te issicuees.
Tne bank depc'.at i= only about
s2B,ooo,aud it is nit In eas II imoun’s,
no one person waving more than
SI,OOO deposited. Thus no one will
euffar any great harnships io this
direction, aud Mr. Hickman stated
to-day he bad no doubt that the de
positors would rec-ive tne lull
amount of their indebtedness. Mr.
Cuas. A. Harper,one ot 'he ae-igr.ees,
goes further, and says that all proper
claims of credit i will rea z-, for
the assetsof tnebmk will . m unt to
more than SIOO,OOO. Tae assets are
3umpreh->nd"d m various s curities,
cash, bills rec«iVuble. & ~ bur the
assets of (he firm of R if & O a
fraction of tne Store roau lease
amounting to tib.u SIO,OOO, an i h
bank butidiov, are i a ■ mo g the
assets. The Ga rgi Rt li I Bank
holds a mortgage of $12,500 on the

double that amount.
