THE BALANCE OF TRADE IN OUR Favor. The commerce of 1876-7 bas brought great blessings to the American people. It has been large and profitable, has made things easier bere than in almost any other large country in the world. and, better than all, bas latterly turned the minds of the people way from politics to more healthful topic We are now within a few days of te Close | aly the na- | ‘hough ex- | of the commercial year. On J tional ledger will be balanced. Act figures cannot be given until afier that date, enough is known to show that the bai- ance of trade will be 210,600,000 in merchan- dise in our favor this year, an increase of Kbout $5,000,000 over the preceding year. The increase is due to the larger expo: Raw cotton fel] off $20,000,000, wheat fell Off $12,000,000, but manufactures, provisions, corn, tobacco, and oil were sold to foreign customers in quantities which immensely overcame deficiency. The year ends With several new and important lines of e: port trade developed, with growth the gen- eral law in all lines, aud with genuine hope and confidence on the part of manufacturers, farmers, and miners. The fact that imports are again increasing shows greater purchas- ing power also among the people. The eoun- try may congratulate itself on the happy results of the commercial year.

New Test oF DEATH. —The importance of having some rea/lily applied aud indis- potable test of death is apparent, and many are the processes that have bean offered to determine it. Nevertheless, such a test ap- pears te be still a desideratum—uniless, in- deed, we accept that offered by Kappeler. In | course of his researches on the electrial stimulation of dead muscles, Kappeler sub- jected twenty corpses to the action of various electric currents, noting the times of d appearance of contractility. In persons emaciated by chronic maladies, it disap- peared much more rapidly than in weil nourished individuals, er those who had had acute disease. It disappeared seventy- five minutes after death at the quickest, and | six and a half hours at the slowest. In cases where @ raise of temperature is observed after death, electric contractility persists joes. So long as there remains the ieast flicker of life the contractions remain intact. In the ost prolonged faints, in the deepest lethargies, in poisoning by carbonic oxide, chloroform, etc., there is no contraction as Jong as life lasts. But if the muscles make no tel eee to the electrical stimulation, Kappelar pronounces life to be extinct. No COMEINATION IN CoAL.—The old story of an agreement between the managers of the leading coal companies, by which the price of coal is to be put up and kept up in the fu- ture, was revived on Wall street again yes- terday. Diligent inquiry among the compa- nies failed, however, to establish the trath- fulness of the report. The managers of sev- eral of the companies said there was no pres- ent pros: of such an SS being made. Information was obtained from a trustworthy source confirming the state- Iments heretofore published in The Tribune to the effect that the Biot ge and Reading Ratlroad Company would not under any conditions enter any combination at preset looking to the control of either tonnage or prices. It is believed by the Reading com- pany that its miners will not strike, and that no trouble in the Schuylkill will take place unless their men are driven away from the mines, which, it is thought, will not now be done. Representatives of the Reading company claim that they can supply the ac- tual demands of the market during the rest of the current year. The prices have not eeany changed for several days.—{N. ¥. AFLOGGED AND BULLIED SCHOOL-Boy Wo CoMMITTED SvICctDE.—Poor little Gibbs, the London school-boy who hanged himself by the cord attached to the venti- lator of the room in the boarding-school where he was locked up to await a flogging in store for him because he had run away, is still the subject of many indignant letters and editorial articles in the English news- papers. It will be remembered that he had rinses run away, been brought back and logged, abd that the reason why he ranaway Was, as he told his sister, the habitual bully- ing and other maltreatment to which the monitor had subjected him. On top of this , almost unendurable burden came, as the last raw, the birch of his teacher, and the iad’s pirit was crushed. &7 A @ drinking brawl in Meriden, Conn., i — » Daniel Barrett was stabbed by dward Whituey, and died soon afterwards.
