EXPORTS, GOLD VALUES.

THESE figures show that While We have eX-
ported SO, l9I. $50 less specie than during the
ten months of the previous year, yes we
have shipped S59, 2S5, Ash more of the produce
and merchandise making a net increase in
the exports of specie and goods combined of
$50 0906l2 This is very satisfactory show
ing. The fact that we have been able TO
reduce our consumption of imported goods,
within the ten months, by 600 000, 900, and
yet Increase our exports of nome products
by $50 000, 900, shows that there has been
no lack of economy to square our condition
with the effects of the panic, and affords
strong prtsumptlve evidence that we are
working rapidly towards healthier state OF
business.

GOOD SIGNS.

BALANCE OF TRADE IN OUR FAVOR.
On the showing of trade statistics, the
New York Bulletin complies and conn
ments as follows: The latest returns of the
Bureau o. Statistics bring the figures of
the foreign commerce of the United States
up to the end of April, and enable us to
compare our foreign trade since the panic
with the period Immediately preceding.
For the ten months ending April 30, the inn
ports ter the whole country compare as fol-
lows with those of like months year pre-
viOus:
IMPORTS, GOLD VALUE.
1874. 1928.
Merchandise .s46e, .6s-0sS eosoeVosVd
specie ............. 2.5Si,6T B,560'6US
si:9rsl45ao SoooOo' '4US
BecfeaSe..................... ol'-oO'Voo
It thus appears that the imports of mer-
cbandise are $50, 237. DID, less, for the ten
months, than last year, while the Imports
of specie are S6,974 lS9 larger, making
a net reduction in the imports OF goods
and specie combined of sol ,2o3, OS3.
This, however, does not correctly represent
the comparative consumption OF foreign
goods during the period, tor there has been
a reduction in the amount of goods in ware
houses from ST. ,646,570, on April 80, 1873. to
$5S, 475, 974. on April 80, 1874; so that the
amount of imports gone into consumption
buring the 10 months was S4So, 94O, Zo4, whlie
for the same period of the preceding fiscal
year, the amount was SoSS, 6oz,9OS
There has thus been a reduction in the con-
sumption of imported goods of about $780,
100000 during the 10 months, compared
with the same period of the preceding nscal
year. 1t is worthy OF note. however, that
the amount of goods in warehouses has
been reduced TO an exceptionally low point,
which illustrates the low condition or i'm
porters' stocks to which we have repeatedly
made references as an element to be consid-
ered in estimating the present condition OF
trade. The export movement for the 10
months ending April 80, compares as fol-
lows:

dergo in the spiritual world of merit
and demerit. And that. as all nature
is connected and bridged over with the
mystic web of life and death. SO may
these, the priests, be found bound to
the invisible spirit Of knowledge which
alone reveals to the rejecting mind the
path Of virtue
At the conclusion of this singul ar
chant. the priests suddenly but rather
deliberately wheeled round and round
in the mystic circle which bound them,
and every time they turned toward the
pond they scattered cakes, rice and
fruit into the water, at which was heard
a sudden rush, and several crocodiles
appeared with open jaws, into which
the offerings mysteriously disappeared.
Finally the mystic cords were dissolved
by the boys, who fred them with their
lighted torches, and the priests de-
parted, leaving numbers of devout men
and women to pour out their hearts and
their simple gifts at the foot Of the
monster sleeping god.

The Dog Of Montargis.

Apropos of the present controversy,
as to the reality Of recent combat be-
tween a man and dog near Blrmlng-
ham. says the Pail Mall Gazette, many
of our readers who have stopped at
Montargis. on the route from Paris to
Lyons. will remember the story Of the
Dog Of Montargis, who fought with the
murderer Of his master and avenged his
blood. In the great hall of that town,
before its demolition, there was tresco
painting over the fireplace representing
the strange duel, which was fought, ac-
cording to tradition, in the presence of
Charles vi. in the lists of the lie de
Notre Dame at Paris. The story is
told at length in Memories sur les Duels.
1t runs as follows: One day NJ. Au-
brey De Mont Older. gentleman Of
birth and influence, was journeylng
alone through the lonely forest of Bon
DIV. when he was attacked by robbers
and killed, his body being buried by the
assassins under tree hard by the spot
where he fell. For some days an Eng
lish bloodhound which he had with him
kept watch over his grave till compelled
by hunger to quit the post. On this
the dog made his way to the house of .
friend of the deceased gentleman at
Paris, where the strargeness OF his man
ner. coupled with the fact of his having
come back without his master, reused
much curiosity and wonder. As soon
as he had been fed he kept running to-
ward the door of the house and then
back to his masters friend. pulling him
by the sleeve. and used all sorts OF
dumb eloquence as if he wanted him to
follow. At last the friend resolved to
follow the leading of the dog, who made
his wav to the forest, and went straight
to the foot of the tree, where his MUIR
dered master lay. Here the dog began
to howl piteously, scratching up the
earth with his paws, and showing his
wish that the place should be dug out
Upon digging few feet the friend ano
| his companions came upon the body Of
NJ. Mont Older. bearing the wounds
which had been inflicted upon it by The
knife of the murderer. For some tiIae
however. no trace of the act
ual assassin could be found til
one day the dog met in the streets o.
Paris a certain chevalier named Macaire
whom he instantly tried to seize by
the throat with great fury. Thu
strange conduct on the part OF quie'
and peaceful animal was repeated on I
second occasion, and. as it was known
that Macaire had been personal enc
my Of Mont Didier, grave suspicion be
gan to be aroused. At length the st
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1874-09-03

fair reached the.ears of the king, who,
being anxious that the matter should
be thoroughly sifted, sent for Macaire,
and also for the dog, who was gentle
and playful until he scented Macaire in
the crowd of courtiers standing rouno
the king, when, as usual, he showed
the fercest hostility toward him.
Struck by such an undersigned
piece Of circumstantial evidence,
the king at once ordered that
the decision should be referred
to the trial Ly battle, OF ''appeal to the
judgment Of God,'' and combat was
ordered to be held between the cheva-
lier and the dog in the lie de Notre
Dame. which was then almost an open
space. The terms Of the encounter
were, that the dog was to have an
empty cask to retreat into after he had
made his springs at the foe, while the
man was allowed cudgel by way OF
arms. Everything was prepared for
the duel, when the dog no sooner found
himself free and face to face with his
antagonist, than he began running
round and round Macaire, avoiding his
blows, until, at last, he seized him fairly
by the throat, and after severe strug-
gle, succeeded in laying him PROSTATE
on the ground. The chevalier was res
cued from the dogs grip by the by
ISLANDERS, and conscience stricken. in the
presence of the king, his court, and the
rest of the spectators, he acknowledged
his guilt. A few days afterward he
expiated his crime upon the scafold.
The DOG Of Montargis' is a we'll.
known tale in France, where its sub.
stantial truth is not doubted, and it has
been, we believe, the subject of, at al
events, one popular drama.
