MYSTERIES OF THE SHAWL TRADE.-A
Paris letter says: Before leaving this subject
must relate a curious discovery made on
this occasion. NJ. Guyetaut took me to see
one of his first artists, who works at home. In
the front room of a modest apartment was
the intelligent artist working at his lathe, and
in the back room was his wife working upon
an Indian shawl. A fine cashmere, worth
1000 francs, or, perhaps, 81 900 in New York,
was cut into strings or figures, and on glanc-
ing at it could not help crying: "Ah! how
in the world did this fine shawl get so badly
damaged? Was it eaten by the rats ?" NJ,
Guyetaut laughed and said; "Oh, ouvriere
Monsieur, itis not damaged at all; am rear
ranging it," Probably my lady readers viii
be as much surprised as vas, 10 fad- that
these costly shawls are purposey cut in pleces'
and then sewn together again. The philoso-
| ply OF it is this: Some years the fashion is
| Tor white figures, running about in scrolls as
in cashmeres, and sometimes for black Hence
shawls with white ground figures are cut
when black sell best, and the black cuttings
| sewn in. Sometimes, when q lot of shawls
have been for many years on hand, the dis
position of the figures are changed in order to
suit the prevailing taste. Now, the work
was done so well that could not distinguish
the cams, but it seems to me that If were
to buy shawl worth a thousand dollars,
should greatly prefer to have 1t as it came
from the Indian loom. Twas told that hun:
dreds of these rearranged shawls are annually
sold to American ladies at very large prices,
and if those who have them find that they
come in pieces they will understand the rea
son. They have only to send the shawl to
some racommodeuse, like the person of
whom write, and the work will be elegant
ly done again. This industrious artist and
his no less industrious wife earn a very hand
some living from their common labor. n

CONTEMPT of Court.

Mr. Rawley walked in, and close at his

Jaeger looked at tie dog with the solemn
eye OF surrogate. and shook his head as only
surrogate can shake 1t.
Are you the witness?" inquired he of the
dogs master.

subpenaed to testify"

manded the surrogate
Nothing" replied Mr.. Rawley. she comes

The animal must leave the court It's
contempt of court to bring him here, said

Mr. Rawley had frequently been in atten-
dance at the police courts, and once or twice
| had slight taste of the sessions: 80 that ha
| was not so much struck with the surrooate

out OF the window, The dog looked at him
for distinctions, and ~esei,iss none, .~pyv,-

Mr.. Jaeger, who, the dog being under his
very nose, saw that he had not

Slagg.
"CaI Walker to assist you," said Mr.. Jag
ger,
Walker, thin man in d-abs, had ansici-
pated something of the kind, and had acci-
dentally withdrawn as soon as he saw that
there was prospect of difficulty; so that the
whole court was set at defiance by the dog.
''Witnessp said Mr.. Jaeger.
Mr.. Rawley looked the court full in the
face.
"Wil you oblige the court by removing
that animal?" said Mr.. Jaeger mildly.
Certainly, sir, said Mr.. Rawley. "Bt-
tiers, go home." Bitters rose stiffly and went
out, first casting glance at the man with the
wig, for the purpose of being able to identity
him on some future occ ision and was soon
after seen from the window walking up the
street with the most profounn gravity.-From

With such road passing eighteen
