The London Telegraph of the 9th has the
following special:
Berlin, Noe. Cit is not denied in Of

second letter to the German Emperor, and
the fact that it has not been published is
ascribed to the circumstance that it treated

jects. 1t is not from motives of courtesy
that it has been kept back, but for the sim
pie reason that it is entirely devoid Of inn
portance. 1t has not been nor will it be

of majority of the nation.

4 Parting, a Meeting, aud d Wedding.

Ten years ago Maurice III. Christie
journeyed from England to America,
and found employment in Lord &
Taylor's. After FIVE years faithful
service, on recommendation OF that
firm, he began travelling for White,
Ross & Co. with whom he remains:
Before he visited this country he fell
in love with a blue-eyed maid of
tewlve years, and on parting, the
two bound themselves with solemn
vows to become man and wife. Mau-
rice did not hear from her during
the ten years absence. He worked
hard and laid up a snug little for
tune. Last Saturday a friend told
him that a young English woman
was in the Stacy House whose name
was Carrie Linyard. Maurice hast
ened, and found his betrothed of ten
years ago a beautiful, accomplished
young lady. Her aged father was
with her. The old VOWS were re-
peated. Each had written to the
other, but the letters did not reach
their destination. With the fathers
approval they were married that
night, and they now live in Mont
gomery street, Jersey city, as happy
as two bees ina tube rose.

The spring of 1879, says the New
York Bulletin, will be remembered
by the importers of dry goods as
one in which they did their business
for little less than nothing. AL.
though the importations have been
less than last year, yet very largo
amount of goods were carried over
from 1872; so that, on the whole, the
stocks were quite large and, in the
absence of any healthy demand, the
importers have had to sell q large
portion Of their goods at ruiuous
losses, while the proportion on which
they have made extra profits has been
too small to constitute any offset of
Importance. Take, for instance, the
article Of silks. The importations,
for the first five months of the year,
amounted to only $14,000,O00 against
$18.40O,O0O for tho same time of
1872; yet so depressed has the mar
ket been, that it has been found inn
possible to fully market this compar.
atively moderate Importation, and
now, at the close of the season, we
find large iobbing house buying out
the stocks of importers and re-ex.
porting them to Europe at at profit.
