The l'aper Trade.

The Paper Trade journal groups a
mass Of figures, drawn from our census
and from the foreign blue books, rela-
tive to the growth of the paper trade,
which shows some curious results. The
number of paper mills now in operation
in Europe and the United States is
2,3O9, of which the largest proportion
(812) is in this country, Germany rank
ing next, with 423 mills; France third,
with 4O4, and Great Britain fourth,
with 274; the smallest number being in
Denmark, which has only 5. The az.
gregate annual production of paper is
], l,O6O, 900 tons, Of which nearly one
third, or 317,387 tons, is produced in
the United States, while Germany pro.
duces 180, 900 tons, and Great Britain
exactly the same quantity as Germany:
the French product being 148, 600 tons
In the United States the number
of paper mills has increased so per
cent. since 1850-the present number
being 812, and the value of their aver.
age annual product nearly $67, 900, 600.
But the larger portion OF this annual
product is not, az might be supposed,
for printing purposes On the con-
trary, the statistics of 1872 show that
there were $4,000 tons of Wrapping.
paper manufactured, and only los tons
OF printing paper, the preponderance OF
the former being accounted for by the
paper-hanging trade, which has in
creased fro N u product valued at $1O7..
600 i'll 1850 to 81, 1000, 900 in 1872. But
If the newspapers and magazines 60 on
multiplying us rapidly as they have 70,
the past five years, the consumption OF
printing paper will soon exceed that ol
the rest.

Miles Standisl,,s Burial Pine

The Boston Transcript says that from
recent developments it seems very Ger
tain that Miles Standish was buried
near the site of the First Church in
Duxbury, Mass. This was situated on
one Of two little mounds or hills over
looking the head of Duxbury Bay, Mt
the west of Captains Hill, approached
now by the new shore road from
Duxbury to Kingston. The spot is
near the residence of Thomas Chand.
ler. A few years ago, in excavating a
road near the old church spot, human
bones were found which led to the
supposition that the first graveyard of
tho town might have been established
there. A tradition exists that old DR..
Wadsworth was in the habit of showing
the grave of Miles Standish to distin.
guished visitors during the last half of
the last century, and that, when leaving
his house for thepurpose, proceeded
in a southerly direction to a certain
cross.road leading to the shore. Re
cent satisfactory proof has been pro-
tluced that the house in which DIR.
Wadsworth lived at the time was what
is now known as the Cushman
House," and that formerly the road
RIM on the south side of the same,
leading to the shore in the direction ol
She spot of the old church. As there
would he, according to the suggestion.
Of Capt. Standish's will, thre.. graves
on the spot, it may yet be possible tt
distinguish that of the old Pilgrim
Captain.

Rebuilding the Column Vendome.

The London Builder gives the first
definite information as to the progress
and difficulties of the work of recon-
structing the column Vendome at Par.
is. Iappears that the masonry work
IS only just begun. There are more
difficulties in the way of this part of
the undertaking than most uninitiated
outsiders imagine. It is imagined that
the foundation and pedestal base can
he built like an ordinary WALL That
is impossible. From motives of econ
omy it is intended to utilize the stone
work of the old column--at least all
those portions Of it which have not
been excessively attenuated or deform-
ed by the demolition. Two-thirds Of
the materials can be SO used the re-
mainder of the work will have to be
executed as at the first erection of the
column. But even among the two
thirds judged serviceable there are only
two steps absolutely intact. The others
require to be repaired, and will be
replaced or rejointed by means of ce-
ment in the Place Vendome itself. But
this reparation is not the most difficult
operation. The interior of the column
is formed by huge square blocks of
stone, pierced at intervals with large
holes, into which are soldered cramp-
irons that hook the outer bronze plates
by species of horseshoe eyelet at
tached to the inmost surface of the
plates in the foundry. The problem
to he solved now is one fact that re-
quires the incest precision. The com
pleted column will be surmountcd not
10y the little bare.legged Caesar, placed
there in 1864.65, but the old statute,
relegated to Courbevoie, of the EN-
peror in gray redingote and jack boots,
with the arm crossed in the legendary
attitude. The statue is considerably
injured, but not irreparnbly. The new
column is not likely to be completed
before the end of the year.
