It is said ly good authority tli&t ninety-seven of every one hundred that engage in mercantile pursuits fail-"tt is also contended that there is no nesity for so large a percentage of failure Jthat the existing cause in most cases is a lack of business education or training, and that defeat follows in the footsteps of ignorance. . A man would not undertake the practice of law, or medicine, or en gage as an engineer or an artist, without a preliminary education for tho special field of his endeavors. But thousands recklessly enter into the arena of busi ness, seemingly without thought, and certainly without previous special educa tion. Edward T. Freedley, in his prac tical treatise on business, says: "Every business that is worthy of the name has two departments; its science, to be un derstood by study, and its art, to be as quired by practice." Many writers be lieve that business education should commence at youth, and that, instead of sending a young man off to college to learn Greek and Latin against his will, if hia predilections f avor, after a thor ough practical education; ho should be inducted - into the mystery and arts of that particular line of trade for which he expresses a docided preference. - The ad vantage of an early education is, that his knowledge comes, as it were, automatic ally, and he really grows up into and with the business, while, in - later -yeaA; learning is acquired by much harder efibrt and more mechanically. To the successful merchant there must be everpresent a wide scope of informa tion. Ho must be versed in the styles and qualities of goods, and know their adaptability toends and uses. He must know their comparative worth and rela tive fineness; their special adaptation to given localities as well as their seasona bleness and durability. He should have fall inowledge of the varions markets for the goods he deals in, and inform himself as to the advantages which one market affords over another, in point of price, or other feature of benefit.' He should employ the best judgment in purchasing the proper quantities in their season, and study to forecast the market. He ought to carefully weigh the question of supply and demand, and particularly note the liability of his goods to deteri oration. But how can all these things be accomplished without special fitness by study and experience? A neglect to ob serve any of the things we have suggest ed is very likely to entail loss, if not dis aster. . ' , . How can a mere novice in business guard against any of the results which follow from any of the conditions here suggested? He must grope blindly in the dark, and if failure threatens he will be powerless to arrest its progress; be sides, by his ignorance, he heeds not the impending shadows that fall across this path, betokening a sure coming misfor tune. Wooed by his ignorance, he, as it were, float on in utter heedlessness of that fate which soon will engulf him in irretrievable ruin. But to him who is rooted and grounded in the knowledge of his business, and the dangers that beset, there are materials of assistance on every hand that aid in averting the calamity of failure, and become oft times the step ping stones to a future success. In the race for business existence, the educated and enlightened merchant has by far the best chance. Ignorance is handicapped, but education has the inside track, and is .bound to win. Theyonng man who looks forward to a mercantile career, will do well to thoroughly acquaint himself, by study and practical observation, with the laws of trade and business, and once having fortified himself with a sufficient knowledge, he may reasonably hope for abundant success in his chosen field.

It drives from tlie stomach its natural heat, suspends the flow of gas tric juice and shocks and weakens the delicate organs with which it comes in contact. An able writer on human dis eases Bays habitual ice drinkers are us ually flabby about the regions of the stomach. They complain that their food lies heavy on that patient organ. They taste their dinner for hours alter it is bolted. They cultivate the use of stimu lants to aid digestion. If they are intel ligent, they read upon food and what the physiologist has to say about it, how long- it takes cabbage, and pork, and beef, and potatoes, and other meats and esculents, to go through the process of assimilation. They roar at new bread, hot cakes and fried meat, imagining these to have been the cause of their maladies. But the ice water goes down all the same, and finally friends are oalled in to take a farewell look at one whom a mysterious Providence has called to a clime where, as far as is known, ice water is not used. The number of im mortal beings who go hence, to return no more, on account of an injudicious use of ice water, can. hardly be estimated. --Baltimore Sun.

The forged papers include the Connec ticut River Railroad for about $T0 000, Frederick Billings $20,000, Trenor W.

Names will be made public as investiga tion proceeds. ...'- ;v Watte has insisted on having no cashier, as being an unnecessary expense, and has officiated himself as that officer of the bank. It is believed that his frauds have been going on over ten years, having be gun when $70,000 was loaned to Waite's orother in Chicago to help him out of a difficulty in a bank, lie took fraudulent notes as collateral for this debt, and these he passed oA the directors as assets. Bank Examiner liendree first discovered the discrepancies and notified Waite of his discovery, and it is supposed that he granted Waite's requests aud allowed him a week to make up tbe missing amount. - Watte improved his time by bidding his wife good bye, on a pretense of going to New York on business and be next wrote from Portland : 'I shall quit the country." Detectives believe that he has committed suicide. Certificates of stock have been issued for which as yet there has been no record found, and a double issue will undoubtedly be unearthed. Tha books of the institution are badly gardled. The present board of directors consist of S. M. Waite , J. M. Tyler, at present mem ber of congress from this district, T. A. Fash, W. T. Richardson, H. C. Hiliiard, of Bratlleboro; Warren Parker, of Puiney; AddiBvin Whitehead, of Vernon; W. P. Richardson, ol Chester; and C. J. Amidon, of Hinsdale. Two of the members claim to have never qualified. Suits have been brought against these directors by the stockholders who claim dereliction of duty. Several stockholders are known to have lost their all by the collapse, and tbe feeling against the directors is very strong. It is believed that some of the directors are also ruined, aud that another county bank will sutler. aleanlon of the Army of the Potomac. Burlington, June 10.

Plague at North Adams, Hm, ' Noutii Adams, June 17. A terrible scourge resembling dysentery is prevailing in Adams, which has, bo far, battled the skill of physicians. Over a thouxand per sons, old and young, have been stricken dowii. Physicians are busy night and day. Many cafes, it is feared, will be fatal. There is little doubt that tbe epidemic is occasioned by impurities of the water in the reservoirs. The Leadrlllc Strike. Lbadvii.lg, June 10. Indications are that the strike is about to be amicably settled. The miners hold a final uiee ting to-morrow morning at which, Gen. Crook and staff will be present. The miners union executive committee have drawn resolutions that they claim mine owners have accepted and this meeting is called for the purpose of submitting the resolu tions to the nnion.

Pkra, June 16. Theportehas informed the ambassadors of the powers that what ever conclusions the Berlin conference may arrive at they cannot be obligatory upon Turkey as parties interested in the matters to be discussed are to be excluded from deliberations of conference. The identical note o the power, which was presented Saturday, states that the porte recognize that it is the interest of Europe that an end be put to present difficulties and points; but that Lord Salisbury's com munication in favor of tho appointment of a technical commission tofix theTurco Ureek frontier, remains unanswered by the Porte. The conference'at Berlin has therefore been acted upon. The note proceeds to call attention to the Monten egrin and American questions, and con cludes by directing the attention of the porte to the gravity and responsibility it would assume in leaving the execution of the treaty of Berlin an longer in suspense. ' Tlie Porte Rrfn.n. Pera, June 16. The porte has forward ed its reply to the identical note, to each ambassador. It refuses to recognize the right of the powers fo arbitrarily dispose of any portion of Turkey in favor of Greece without consulting the porte.
