KKOOKS, P. >1 j When Will Prosperity Return. Two European writers on political economy, one a Frenchman, the other a 1'el. pian, have published almost simultaneous, ly substantially tiie same theory of the industrial depression now prevailing in nearly every commercial country. They both reject the opinion commonly express. ! ed by writers ou this subject, that the j depression is a temporary thing, and will j soon bo succeeded by prosperous times. [ They maintain that the hard times will' last for a considerable number of years, tho' they do not venture to say how many. And they both advance about the same reason for this opinion, which is, in brief, that during tho past fifty years astonishing progress has been made in the invention of labor saving processes and appliances, and, as a consequence, production has Lcen enormously increased, and a scale of ex. pouditurc, public and private, h:i3 been adopted in the apparent expectation that like progress would bo uiado in the future, an expectation nutlikilv to he realized. People will probably be forced to ce momizc, and this will seem to be a hardship, although their condition may in reality be much more prosperous than that was of their fathers. And besides, this progress has been attended with an unbalancing of industries ?excessive production in somo fields and deficient productien in other fields?and a good deal of time will be required to effect a proper adjustment. In the m an. time capital will be shy, as it will be no easy matter to determine how or when it can be safely invested, and as a necessary consequence labor will not be employed, i and wages will be low. This is a gloomy view of the situation, and if it wee to bo generally adopted flic bard times would thereby be protea mftted~tliat there arc facts which 1 seem to support the theory. It is a fact thflfc i* fippnninlafinrr tlin mr?n/?r centres, and that its owners seek security ratlicr than higji rates of interest in lend | ing it. This is the case in Xow York, in London, in l'aris and nearly everywhere.1 < It is also a fact that while everybody hopes for a change, and while capitalists are urged, in season aod out of season. I to cast away their feaip, invest their means in industrial enterprises, and set | labor at work, the signs of a disposition : to licei the exhortation are not now appa* j rent. ; t On the other hand, the reasons for anr ?. ticipating a long continuance of the exist- a ing state of aflairs are not convincing.? t Granting all that may be said about the ' i progress of invention during tbc last half; v century, it does not necessarily follow that 1 the world has ceased to move in this rcr v spcet. Railroads, stoamships and tele- a graphs ire very important factors in the ? 0 industrial economy of the world, and it 'J ruay be impossible for anyone to sec what factors of equal importance enrf be intro* 1 itlCed during tliO i*t half century ? i j Rut it is certain that the inventive facul* ^ ,y of man still exists, and there i3 no a >bvious reason for supposing that it will ac less active and successful hereafter Jj ban it has been heretofore. And even j f no discoveries and inventions of equal ( importance with those of the past fifty ' C fears should be made iu the near future. hose we have remain with us, and will (1 render as much service in the future ns Imv Itnrn f]rinn in t1w? nncf P'tilrnmlc ' . ind steamships vviil still bring to our doors r he products of all continents, islands and |! >eas, and probably in greater abundance 11 lian ever before, ni their use is extended The truth of tlic.mattcr seems to be r hat the material progress of the past in J ts relation to that of the futuro will have a rery little to do with the continuance of 11 he present state of things. Thcro is use or every dollar of capital in existence, in 1 work for ever hand. The difficulty s to decide what the work shall be, an 1 his difficulty is enhanced by tho timidity | inturally resulting froui disappointments md defaults. When the bolder spirits trikc out and achieve success, the timid rill follow the example, and there will be i new era uf industrial activity and pros" : jcrity, even though nothing as useful j, s the tel .'graph shrill be invented in a n cntury. When the revival will begin no a nan can toll. It will be when uicn rcco-; or confidence and courage. After firmer " rises it has taken from ono to fivo years , j o get over the scare, and find out what iceds to be done in order to properly ad" |, ust the different indus'.rirs and put them h n motion. Tho length of time depends' jreatly on the severity rnd extent of the evulsion. As the last shock was uir s isually 'severe and almost universal, it nay still take a year or two for capitalists o find out what to do, and pluck up the l' ouragc to do it There is no apparent . i . . -i 11 ._t. i " ca.?on wnj it vjiuuiu iuku ?v im .i 'j jo Times. t, Encounter with a 1>K>te.ui>0.*? a V white woman of lewd character by the tame of Kebcoca MoManus, living in JhcstorGeld County, was tailed to her ' lour and seriously bliot about three 11101.1!.* igo by a negro, March l-'underlurk.

There is a genuine educational revival in Xorth Oaorlina mhco the Democrats came into power. One of their first acts was to establish two-normal schools for the training of teachers, one for each race, and the newspapers give abundant proof that tlie people are very generally-waking up to the advantages ol the common school system and anxious to improve it The New York Herald is engaged io burying the old political parties. It preached a funeral sermon over the democrats last week, apropos nfTildcn's Man luttairUlub speech, and this wccK u is doing tlio elegy business of the llcpubli. cans. Somehow, however, these dead parties keep going through the uiritions of life, as of old. Hut Charles Lamb long ago observed (hat he had frequently seen uien walking about the streets who were roaily as dead as Julius C asar. though they hadn't found it out themselves. Voltaire died at the house of Marehion. ess Yilhuta, in I'aiis. The windows of his death chamber wore kept closed by the Marchioness throughout her life, and she ordered in her will that they ihould not bo'opencd until the centennial of the poet's demis.', which will occur in 1873.? /far wishes have been hitherto obeyed.?
