The rapid increase in the consumption of pa
per, especially in this country. is well known,
but its whole extent may not fairly be anticipa-
ted. The amount of paper produced annually
in France, is about 50,oOo 900 pounds, of which
$1,000, 900 are exported. England produces
about III, ,OO0, 900 pounds, of which 100000
are sent abroad, and l6l 100000 used at home.
The United States consume about 270,oo00O0
of pounds, or an amount greater than England
and France combined. A large proportion of
this is manufactured at home, and the remain
der imported from Europe-chieAy from France
and England The consumption OF paper in
England and France is about four and half
pounds for each person, while in the United
States it reaches ten pounds for each individual.
The rags required to make the 27o, 100000 of
paper consumed in the United States, amount to
Ss7 100000 pounds-one and quarter of rags
being required TO make one pound of paper.

From the Evening Post.
SONG OF THE STREET.
Rushing round the corners,
Chasing every friend,
Plunging into banks
Nothing there to lend
Piteously begging
Of-cvery man you meet,
Bless me. this is pleasant
Shining on the street.
Merchants very short
Running hcck and neck,
Want to keep a'going-
Praying for a check;
Dabblcrs In stocks,
Blue as blue can be,
Evidently Wishing
They were fancy free"
All our splendid railroads
Got such dreadful knocks,
Twenty thousand Bulls
Couldn't raise their stocks;
Many Of the Bears,
In the trouble sharlng,
Now begin to feel
They've been over-Bearing
Risky Spectators
Tumbling with the shock,
Never mind stopping
More than any clock;
Still they give big dinners,
Smoke and drink and sup,
Going all the better
For winding up.
Banking institutions,
Companies of" trust,'
With other peoples money
Go off on bust;
Houses Of long standing
Crumbling in night
With so many " smashcs,"
No wonder moneys tight
Gentlemen Of means
Having lots to spend
Save little sympathy,
Nothing have to lend;
Gentlemen In want
Willing to pay double
Find they can borrow
Nothing now but trouble.
Half our men Of business
Wanting an extension,
While nearly all the others
Contemplate suspension;
Many of them, though,
Don't appear to dread Ii
Every cent they owe
Is 30 much to their credit.
Brokers are all breaking,
Credit all is cracked,
Women all expanding,
As the Banks contract.
Panic still increasing
Where will the trouble end,
While all hands want to borrow,
And nobody can lend!
Running round the corners,
Trying every source
Asking at the Banks
Nothing there, Of course,
Money getting tighter,
Misery complete
Bless me this is pleasant,
" Shining on the street.

Drlsbach, the lion-tamer, who has for the last
three years been farmer at Potosi, Wisconsin,
visited Dubuque few days ago, and, in compa-
ny with one of the editors, went 10 see the men,
agere -
=" On entering the canvass, which was before
the audience began to collect, Herr desired us
to stand before the cage of the Bengal tiger, he
remaining at the door the while. The tiger,
from some old sore, had Just as old a grndge
against him, and days of yore managed to give a
marked demonstration Of the fact. This cage
was selected for the first test of recognition.
While we were stationed Immediately in front,
Herr came sauntering along carelessly, hibited
in farmers costume, and as he neared the cage
the tigers eyes began TO glisten with great bril-
liancy as they bne directly upon him, and at
the same'Hme, low gutteral grow began to
raise in his throat, which burst out into fero-
cous howl as he leaped at the bars to get at him
when he passed by. This experience was tried
several times with the same result, and when at
length Herr spoke to him, his rage knew no
bounds, leaping at the bars, he dashed his paws
out to tear him, and only ceased when his old
master walked out of his sight.
The next place we were desired to remove to
was the large cage containing large lion, two
leopards and lioness. We mention them thus
as il is the order they stand in the cage, it being
divided int apartments AS Herr approached
this cage the lioness caught sight of him and her
eyes beamed with pleasure, while her tail wag-
ged glad recognition, On his coming up to
her she appeared frantic with joy, and when he
spoke to her and presented his face to the cage,
she kissed him. and placed her paw in his hand
with all the air Of an intense aft ,ction.
Indeed while he was in her presence, she did
not know how to control herself, but would lick
his hands while he attempted to pat her, roll
over, reach out her paws to him and press her
nose between the bars as though she would like
to have had closer presence. While Herr
was talking to the lioness, the ol lion IN the 9th
er end of the cage began to get jealous and
grumbed for he too had recognised his old friend.
Herr said to him, " Billy getting jealous ?" and
then walked up to him, when the creature crowd
ed against the bars to get closer 10 him fit were
possible, and kissed his face and licked his hands
with as great demonstrations of delight as the
other. The eopards too, in the same cage knew
their old master, and watched him as they lay
with their noses close to the bars with evident
pleasure, and seemed highly pleased as he spoke
to them"
