A Paris shop keepers Mistake.

Mrs. Laura Curtis Bullard tells story
of the Baroness Coatts, who, when shop
ping in Paris, was passing from one de-
partment to another by the clerks away
with the remark "two-ten" She was
escorted from counter to counter, and
everywhere these cabalistic words, two
ten, we're repeated by one. clerk to an
other. Struck by the peculiarly Of this
refrain, she asked the proprietor, as she
left the establishment. Pray what
does two-ten mean / noticed each
clerk said it to the other in your shop. y
"Oh, it is nothing" he replied; merely
a password that they are in the habit of
exchanging" But Miss Coutts was not
satisfied with this explanation. So in
the evening, when the porter, young
boy, brought home her purchases, after
paying her bill, she said, MY boy, would
you like to earn five francsR Ofcourse
he had no objection PTell me-" said
the lady, what does two-ten mean, L

you know, ma 'am2" said he, evidently
amazed at her ignorance. ut means

The mystery was solved at last. All the

/ The Hartford Courant publishes let
ter of advice to the people of Connecti-
cut which was written in the year l78G
by Noah Webster, jr., and which, re-
garded in present lights, is pretty anus
ing. Speaking Of the then prevalent
hard times, Mr.. Webster tells the people
that they alone are to blame for them;
they are too extravagant; the expenses
annually incurred in the State are moi
less than 1923, 1873; there was time
when the people were economical; in
1857 when they went to war with the
Pequots their troops were but ninety
men; Wethersfeld was ordered to fur
nish hog for his army, Windsor a ram
goat, and Hartford hogshead Of beer
and four or five gallons of strong water
as rum was first called in the State
records. Things had become worse, how
ever, in 1886; 800, 600 we're paid for rum
alone throughout Connecticut, of which,
in Mr.. Websters opinion, ninety-nine
hundredths were a useless expendl-
ture. Look at me, says he,
allow my family but two gallons OF
rum year. drink
cluer anu Deer VI my OMil blhuuioNAuiOi
aud my wife makes excellent beer, as
sure you" Then he goes on to say how
nstonished he is at the fact that not a
mechanic or laborer goes to work for q
merchant but carries home bottle OF
rum. Not load of wood comes to
town hut gallon bottle is tied to the
cart stake to be filled with rum. Scarcely
a woman. comes to town with tow-cloth
but she has wooden gallon bottle in
one side of her saddle-bags TO fill with
rum" He would advise each family to
get two gallons OF rum a year, have
two or three frolics of innocent ihirtb. !"
keep a little spirit for medicine, and
drink beer and cider of their own making.
He advises them moreover never to go
to law on any account. Do says he
complacently, as l have always done,
and lawyers fees will be no trouble at
all, for, he says he bought nothing that
he could not pay cash for, and so when
be and his wife saw sherifIs and duns
knocking at their neighb0rs' doors they
laughed at their neighbors' folly. In
short, he berates his fellow citizens in
round terms, and holds himself up before
them as a model man whom they would
do well to initiate.

The Great Cotton Producers OF the
World.
From the Louisville LEDGER a p3Ni'

From the Louisville Ledger.l
In the year 1870 the amount of raw
cotton imported into Great Britain from
all countries was II ,949, l57 cwt. From
the United States was obtained 6,395, ,04t
cwt.; from British India, 3,040, $50 cwt.
from Egypt and ports on the Mediterra
mean, ,283,057 cwt from Brazil, 573, ,33l
cwt. The remaining 652, ,l94 cwt. was
obtained from countries all over the
globe, within the tropics and extending
into the warmer regions of the temper
ate zones. America and India, it will
be seen, are the great competitors in the
production Of cotton. Before the war
the Southern States had monopoly,
and furnished seven-eights of all the cot
ton manufactured in England.
The scarcity consequent upon the
outbreak of the war and the enforcement
Of the blockade forced the English to
look elsewhere for the material upon
which seven millions of people depended
for bread Under the stimulus of high
prices, India exported to England in
1864 nearly 100000 bales, as against
SCI 900 in 1860. The completion of
lines of railway from the interior to the
coast facilitated its transfer to ports Of
shipment, and enabled both grower and
broker to realize large profits Since
the close of our civil war the export of
cotton from India has declined, but has
not touched, nor is likely to touch, the
level Of 1860. The Indian staple is in
ferior to the American, and it is,only its
low price that brings it into the English
market in competition with our own
Labor in India can be had in the rice or
cotton fields at a remuneration not ex-
ceeding ten cents per day, while field
hands here cost well nigh ten times
that figure. There is no " "interna-
tionale in India, no organization Of
labor against capital, and no /" strikes "
paralyzing industry This, with the
growing export of cotton from Egypt,
which has increased twenty-fold within
the last ten years, will always operate
to keep down the price of American
cotton. The Khedive of Egypt. far
sighted as he is, sees that the culture
and export of cotton can be made a
source Of wealth to his country. Not
satisfied with the capabilities of Egypt,
he is endeavoring to extend his domin-
ions in the direction of the late discover
les toward the sources of the Nile, and
has sent the veteran explorer, Sir Sam
uel Baker, at the head of wellappoint-
ed force Of 1000 men, with the material,
carried overland on the backs of camels,
for building iron vessels upon the Albert
and Victoria N'Yanza, in order to pos
sess and occupy the immense equatorial
region, whose capacities are said to be
boundless. r..I.s..9a so "a
Egypt, also, must henceforth be added
to the list of countries with whose cot
ton the United States must come into
competition in the foreign market. 9.

A scienfiac Aensntion

The little town of 0mro, Wisconsin
has frst-class sensation. Some work
men, while digginga a ditch in one of the
back streets, came upon the remains OF
0 monster animal. The first parts found
were the tusks. Notwithstanding a
goodly portion of the larger ends had
disappeared, one of them is eight inches
in diameter at the ends in the Uranium,
and five inches at the smaller end. The
tusk seems to have been worn away in
digging or other hard effort. The re-
naming tusk seeming to be an interior
fragment, Is smaller at both ends, and
shows the same hard usage toward its
tip. Each tusk is about fse feet in
length. The surface is horny and quite
tough, the inner portion being of yellow
ish white, brittle, and easily broken.
They are very much curved, their five
feet Of length making q Quarter of a
circle.
The bones are so badly decayed that it
is difficult to locate them. A portion OF
one of the Jaws has been identified by
the teeth set in its framework. Three
teeth were found OF immense magnitude,
one weighing eleven pounds, another
eight, and the other about seven pounds.
The surface of the upper face of the
teeth is four and half by seven inches,
with very jagged and sharp edges, the
enamel being as perfect and clearly de-
fined as when the animal carried them
around and browsed the tops Of shrubs
These remains were found on the mar
gin of whitish ground, about three feet
