a satisfactory proof that this GREAT UNKNOWN

When the emigrant took up his napkin, he found
under it three keys. "This is your place, Sir, l

dinner will explain this enigma to ou."-The
dinner appeared long to the Emigrant after
which, going into another room, the gentleman
addrefied him as follows "Sr, theie keys belong

The great confumption Of Cotton renders it

port into the warmer parts of the United States,
a tpecies fcotton, naturally of a crimfon colour
in the pod, which has been mentioned by many
travellers as growing in Africa and principally in
the Eyeo country. Mr.. Clarkfon informs us that
ipecirnens were brought to England in 1886
lie adds that the value of this cotton would be
great to the importer and manufacturer of muC-

pur1ued, by the Congrefs of the United States.
The Clerk of that body contracts, by the job,
with one printer for the journals, with another
for bills, which it may b. necetary to have ex-
ecuted with fpeed, with third, for any docu-
ment or official paper, which the Houfe may
have refolved to have printed, and 70 forth, with
the ref of the public work. By this means the
public printing is done better, quicker, and
cheaper than it politely can be, when it is con-
dsned to the labour of one printer.
