THEY DOST SELL WELL. Lives of Blaino a Drug on the market. Blaine's Uooit. Last evening a reporter asked a prominent New York enbscriptlon book publisher, who is band ling the moBt advertised life of Blaine yet printed, how the work was going. lie said It isn't going.

That is not so far as Now York State is concerned. We are not handling the book outside. Last week our agents, of whom we have many scattered throughout the entire state, ordered in all only seventy five copies ol the work. 1 do not think the other "life" is doing any bettor. The lack of enthusiasm as far as any experience in the way of campaign literature la concerned, is unprecedented.

Nor do I think there will be much of a market for the books, People know all about Blaine now, and beside moat of them feel poor. Thoy will gat their campaign intellectual food out of the nowspapors and tho documents furnished by largo hearted National Committees." Do you know how Maine's book is going I am told that it is Boiling very slowly much slower, in fact, than before his nomination. The best agents who havo boon hnndling tho work are dropping it for Bomothing else. Yon seo there is a largo amount of doubt as to its being finished, in Bpito of repeated assurance. So, notwithstanding the undoubted merit of tho book, neither agonts or public care to get left on tho one volume.

Tho agents fear loss of timo and con sequent money. Thoy cannot not now sell tho book except Dy tne naruest worn, ana oniy got a portion oi their commission. Honoe the scare. A WOMAN'S IMPKESSION OF BLAINE. Monday morning we went down to the pier to Beo Hon.

James G. Blaine, with a party of gentlo mon, leave. There were William Walter Pholpe and Mr. E. M.

MoPherson, of Boston, who had boon with Mr. Blaino on Sunday, and who was seen In the afternoon strolling in the fields with Mr. Blaino and a fow otuor gentlemen. On tho pier was Dr. Phillips Brooks with friends.

Mr. McPheraon had tho kindness to pre sont your correspondent to Mr. Blaine, and, like all others who meet this grand statesman, I was charmod with his genuineness, his strong, simple courtesy, his unaffoctod kindness. "I should be glad to see you at my house," ho remarked, and a kindly sincerity made the words treasured to me. A strong, grand, high minded man a man of clear views, of rare intellectual resourcos, of superb vigor, an altogether strong man thiB is a woman's impression of Jainos G.

Biaine. And this quality of genuineness in charaoter is one that cannot be too highly prized. It is a foundation on which to rely. If such a nature has its faults they at least aro faultB free from auy small and petty quali ties. There aro no hidden quicksands In a nature like this to ingulf one unawaros.

Whether it bo that of friend or enomy, you know, at loaBt, whoro to And such a nature It is opon to tho daylight, and there lurks no foe In ambush. A groat character, like a great work of art. is seen in Biuiplo, strong outlines. For myself Buch is my appreciation of this lofty aincerity 1 could alinoat parapnrase anew tne greatest oi these is charity," and Bay iiiHtoad, "tho greatest of these is Rouuiuenoss." Bar Harbor Correspondent Cleveland Leader, WORKING BV A H.UI.E. "Yes, sir," sternly spoke tho grocer, "we must have system everything before you oamo was worked with a rule," An1 you want me to jino in an1 bo worked with a mule too, do you asked tho clerk.

"Exantlv. vonncr man. vtm have etruck it if vou can't go by my role, you will have to seek anothor place." "Reckon 111 have to go. then." sadly mused tho clerk, cause I swore once, that it I ever got away from my dad, I'd fight clear of rules," "Ho worked you by a rule then, did he aaked the merchant. Yes, sir, ho did one of those three foot sticks, made outen hie'ry and bound with iron I tell you sir, I've been worked by that rule so much that it makes my back cry to haye anybody mention rule."

HOW SOME CELLARS ABE FLOODED. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle For some time past, especially during the past few weeks, the writer's roaicionco, upon about the highest ground in tho city, has bean troubled every niustarm with water backing out of the tewov into the cellar, roudoring it unfit for use, beside iu unhealthi noas to every member of the houHehold. Having talKed over the matter with a number of persona, I found their houses were in a liko condition, aud we all caino to tliis conclusion that the sowers of the city were en tirey too small to carry off the water, which backed out of them into our cellars for the above reason. Upon application to the Commissioner of Oity Works, ho referred me to Mr. Qoff, tho Superintendent of Sewers, as the proper person to investigate and remedy the evils of which I complained.

This gentleman at once took up tho matter, and promptly sent up to my house an inspector to examine the condition of the city sewer opposite my residence, when It was found by him to be all right thus, it waa evident the fault must bo upon my premises, but what to do I could not imagine. Along our street there is a row of fine maple trees, and exactly opposite my house there are two of these trees, which are large and very luxuriant iu their growth, while those next thorn are much smaller, although planted at tho same timo. The thought occnr ed to me. it was possible thoy had in some manner reached the contents, passing through the sewer pipes connecting tho house with the street sewer. Acting upon this idea I employed a oompetent plumber to open the ground in front of the house out into the street where the pipes were laid, and found the cause of the trouble.

The roots of these two trees, seeking water, had grown down where they could work into the pipes through tho cemontod joints, and tho plumber found six lengths of pipo nearly olosed up with masses of fibrous tendril, almost closing the passage through of water, not to say anything of other things. In one of the lengths he was obliged to uso a ohisel and hammer to cut out the roots and make a passage. Having relaid the pipes, after cleaning them out, the trouble waB entirely removed and the sevore rain of to day had no effect whatever in flooding the cellar, as similar rains have done for many months past. Thinking others may profit by my experience, and may in liko manner remedy tho evil in their collars, I send you thiB com mnnioation for publication for their benefit. August 22, 1881.

Bhdsobd, SATUBDAY MGHT SHOPPING. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle Would it not be a good plan for some charitably inclined persons to form a society for the prevention of oruelty to employos of dry goods stores a society which would Insist upon the dry goods merchants closing early on Saturday nights, say at 6 o'clock. It is not only a cruel act to keop opon late this hpated term, but an injury to their young sales ladlos. If tho ladles of Brooklyn would make up their minds to do their shopping iu the morning the storekeepers would bo obliged to close early. I know there aro many women waiting for tholr husbands' Saturday night's pay to buy their littlo needs, but, if thoy found the stores closed, would wait tilt Monday to make their purchases.

I have hoard many ladies say that they would not patronise those stores that do not close early on Saturday. I wont into two or three atorea last Saturday night, not to buy anything, but out of curiosity, and wondered how the poor employes stand it. Thoy looked nearly oxhausted with the heat, and I wondered if there was auy feeling of common sympathy in the hearts of tholr employers. I am euro that those who closo their stores early will not only receive the thanks of their employes but also the blessings of God and of the charitably inclined people of Brooklyn.

The City and the East Side Lands Comparative Tables Lighter Mortgage Loans. There is just cause for complaining at the obstinate manner in which the city clings to the land skirting Prospect Park on the cast, known aa the East Side Lands. It works an Injury to adjoining owners, and has ruined some. If the city had given the property away years ago it would probably have been the gainer. It is wretched policy to hold this land, not only In competition with citizens, but to the actual detriment of all concerned.

If the oity can't give title then stops should be taken for the reversion of the land to its original owners. It should be put in some shape to re turn a revenue to the city. Business is dull, but the proportion in gain over last year is maintained. Mortgage loans, however, are lighter. See below for details COMPABATIVB TABLES.

5x102.4 Yesterday's Contests on the Seaside Track. Tflford Easily Wins the First Event Eros, Treasurer, Lizzie Miller, Oontessa and Cam panini the Other Victors, The weather was cool and pleasant at the Brighton Beach track yesterday, and as usual there was very large gathering of peoplo present to enjoy the afternoon's Bport. The track was quite heavy, and the betters spent moBt of their time consulting KrWt witae, in orfler to ascertain which of tho horses wero most likely to perform well in the mud. The number of lady visitors to tho races has become so largo lately mat tho management of the track has boen compelled to restrict the number of the fair sex, who are to be en titled to admission ou a complimentary badge to one only. Heretofore any number of ladies were admitted with a gentleman who possessed a complimentary ticket.

Tho programme for yesterday was hardly an attraotlve one, aud the fields wore comparatively small The races wero nevertheless well contested, and tho fa. vorites wero not very successful during tho day. Tho six events on the card wero run off in good season, and Mr. Caldwell did his work very promptly. Tho most important event of the day was tho race for threo year olds ot a mile and a furlong.

There woro seven runners, including the oolt Burton, who was formerly owned by the Dwyer Brothers aud was tho' favorite this Spring for tho great Withers stakes. Ho was pur chased by bis present ownor about two weeks ago for $2,500. He was, of course, made the favorite in the betting for tho race, but be was not well ridden by W. Barrett ond ho carried threo poundB overweight. Lewis mode tho pace for tho first furlong.

when Treasurer went to the front and he hold his place to the end, winning handily. Burton and Llgan made a close thing of it for second place, but the ex Withers favorite won it at tho end by a head. Confusion burst a blood vessel during the race and he walked in at the finish. Tllford surprised tho talent by oopturing the three quarters dash for horses that had run and not won at Brighton Beach this year. The two year old Rico was a greot favorite, but he was rather slow to move off at the start ond he lost considerable ground.

George MeCullough Bhowed some of his old time form iu the race at welter woiguts over a mile or ground. He was only beaten a head for second place, and whon it is takon into consideration that he bos doue service on a stock farm during tho post Wintor, his performance yesterday is a good ono and ho is sure to improve. His owner haa been schooling him over the jumps and ho is said to take kindly to his work. The race over the sticks was captured by Componini, who made bis first appearauco in a hurdle race. The first race on tho programme's as atthreo quartera of a mile for horaos that had run and not won at Brigh buu auuuu dumuu.

j.iiu ruuuors were isive uaK, Colonel Morris, Rico and Tilford. The two year old Rico, with Church in tho saddle, was selected bv thn talent as the probable winner aud he was mado tho favorite in tho auotlon poolB, soiling for $70, Colonel Morris $35, Tilford $20, and Live Oak $10. The flag luii wuittMjBr mart, uuiuuoi morris jumped off with tho lead, Tilford waa second away, Live Oak third and Rico last. Along tho backstretch Colonel Morris drew away from the others and be opened up a gap of Beveral lengths, and at tho end of. the first quar tor he was four lengths in front of Tilford, who was three lengths in front of Rico.

Live Oak brought up in the rear. Opposite the stables Haggerty began to urge Tilford and ho closed up some of the gap between him and tho leader, and when they reached the three quarter' post thoy woro only a length apart. Rico was third and Live Oak last.

Candid, at all events XEteenda del Derctlv, The Situation Still Improving. The Wheat Horrest Ended and Good Prospects for Oof Trade Reviving In the West Lead lug Features of the Movement in Stocks. Wall stbest, Saturday Evening, August 23. The situation continues to improve.

The ptogrees is slow, but generally satisfactory, and, if nothing of a serious charaoter occurs to prevent, too Poll trade, in all branches, will bo very encouraging. The wheat harvest 1b ended and the Spring bo wn grain has been gathered under much more favorable conditions than those prevailed when the harvest of Winter Wheat was In progress. Consequently, the grain is in fine marketable shape, and, judging from samples that have been received, it will grade better than almost any crop that has been gat bored in recent years. This is important, because the price is governed to a largo extent by the quality. A fortnight ago the farmers in the West were alarmed by the appearance of a frost, which happily did no damage to any of the crops.

Early this week thero was complaint of a drouth, which was general all through the corn belt, and It was feared that unless rain soon fell the crop would be BoriouBly damaged. Fortunately, rain has since been plentiful, and it is now probable that the corn will rapidly mature and soon be entirely out of danger. Judging by acreage and condition, this crop will be far in exoess of any previously raised as to quantity, and the quality will probably be first class. The country is now almost bare of corn and in some sections other grain is being fed to stocK as a substitute, so that the consumption of the new corn will be rapid as soon as harvested. Tho banks at tho West have had much to do with the early harvesting of the wheat crop this season, by urging upon the farmers the polioy of immediately selling at least enough of their surplus to enable them to pay off old debts.

Tho farmora have thus been in a position to start tho season free of pressing obligations, and thus will now, it is hoped, continue to market their produce, even though tho price may remain low and almost beyond precedent. This Bottlement of old debts haa had a good effect upon trade in the interior, and mail advices represent that business in almost all branches is looking up. In dry goods ciroles the feeling is very hopeful and, considering the low prices ruling for all fabrics and tho small profits resulting from their exchange, tho trade for tho season will doubtless very The stock market has been generally strong this week, tho result of continued manipulation, aided by favorablo news and the absonce of any determined raids on tho part of the bears. Realizing sales have at times arrested the advance, but the market has absorbed tho stocks thus sold without yielding greatly. There does not appear to bo much outside buying of a character to indicate returning confidence, for those who get iu seem desirous of taking small profits and they unload at tho first opportunity.

A few speculators have bought tho low priced stocks apparently on a venturo and because they seemed cheap and likely to advauco moro rapidly than tho higher priced properties. Some have become interested in Union Pacifio mainly for the reason that Mr. Adams, tho presidont, speaks so enthusiastically regarding its future. But they muBt remember that this gentleman was just as aontidont regarding the value of the property when it was selling aboro par and paying dividends which wore not honestly earned. Other speculators have had their attention directed to Erie stock and consolidated bonds, because Mr.

Yanderbilt says that he has been buying them and also for tho reason that reforms in the management are promised by tho frionds of Mr. John King, who will be elected prosident in place of Mr. Jewott at the October meeting of stockholders. Not a fow investors have manifested their faith in the Yanderbilt stocks, being convinced that they aro cheap enough at current figures, and that dividends will be maintained so long as Mr. Yanderbilt continues to bo interested in them.

The Grangers have this week been influenced by the prospect of a largo traffio resulting from tho enormous orops In the sections traversed by these roads, and tho unsettled condition of the Western pools does not seem to have Jdeterred speculation in those properties, for the orders to buy come from cities and tho line of the roads wherein the people aro in a position to be well Informed regarding the importance of tho quarrel. The latest news concerning the difficulty in the tripartite pool is that the Ohioago, Burlington and Quincy and tho Union Pacific, which roads havo heretofore been bitter enemies, havo joined hands against the Chicago and Northwestern. This would iudicato that tho troubles aro far from settlement. Mr. Gould appears to have boon successful iu bis efforts to advanco tho market price of Western Union, although this line, through tho Mutual Union, is en Raged in a war of rates with tho United Telegraph lines, thus seriously reducing tho revenues of tho Western Union.

Tho buying of thlB stook is in all probability confined to professional out Bldo speculators might run considerable risk in dealing In it. One feature this week has been the riso in the St. Louis and San Francisco stocks. Theso are largely owned by outsiders, who have patiently carried them for tho past three years, without making much of an effort to sustain thorn In the market. The inference is that the owners of tho property havo been perfecting their planB for the development of the road and that, now they have succeeded iu making arrangements for its extension to San Francisco over tho newly purchased portion of the Southern Pacific, they aro manipulating tho stock for a moro or lesB permanent advance.

The movomont in Texas and Pacific and Missouri, Kansas and Texas this week has been gradually upward, and it is sold that it is basod upon an arrangement by which tho Texas and Pacific the Southern Pacific, Calilornia Pacific and the Now Orleans Pacific will be operated jointly in tho interest of ihe Southern Pacific as one entiro system tho Missouri, Kansas and Texas to be used as the Northern connection. The advantages of this soheme aro not apparent, bo far as tho Missouri, Kansas and Texas is concernod, but tho arrangement wonld doubtless bo beneficial to tho Texas and Pacific, which, forms tho Eastern and Gulf connection for the Southorn Paoific. Tho riso in tho East Tenncssees Beoms to havo culminated. It was assisted by a statement that preparations were making for a reorganization of tho company, but as this story is it is suspected that the advanco was engineered in ordor to disable a certain bank and large holders of tho stook and bonds to convert their property into cash. Tho movement in Manhattan Elevated consolidated stock has been sharp this week, and tho reason Is that holders of a large proportion of tho New York aDd of tho Metroplitau stock have exohanged for tho consols.

This scheme may enable tho Gould party to sell out, provided tnoy can induce tho public to buy.
