Statistics of Commerce.

There is not a little consolation to be
derived by the depressed in spirit over
trade matters from an examination of
the report of the Bureau of Statistics
for June, containing the detailed ac-
counts of our foreign commerce for the
fiscal year 1874. For instance, it
contains the following table, which
gives the aggregate gold values of the
imports, exports, and re-exports of the
United States for the last siy Years

will at this time, 1867. / had occasion
to go down the road, and had to wait
for the train. My abiding place was
one of those dining-tentss, where had
taken meal in the meantime. Among
the several persons seated around, one
evidently was very raw.
His dress was semi-clerical, and, as
he held forth in no constrained manner
about ''the terrible sin" and Baby
lonish Cheyenne, the old-timers within
hearing enjoyed, in an uncouth way,
poking small chaff at him. In the
midst of one of his TRADES against
this sink-hole of perdition," man
came into the tent, walked up to the
bar, and demanded drink. 1t seems
for some reason he had been refused
before. Suddenly throwing his hand
under his coat, he drew six-shooter,
and, alf-facing the crowd and the bar
keeper, he said stBy c., I'm going
to have drink right here, or I'll turn
loose !" (meaning to shoot).
To tell the truth, most of those ter
r1ble old-timers broke for the door, the
| barkeeper sunk under the counter, and
| death to some one seemed imminent.

him from his feet, his protruding tongue
and blackening face shows the powerful

the picture complete, says, in ordinary

ALittIe Tronble in Texas.

Eighteen years ago the Suttons and
/ the Taylors lived near each other in
| Alabama. The natural result was that
| two representatives of the different
families died near each other. In life
they were together and in death they
were not divided, until their respective
bowie knives were extracted by surviv-
ing friends from their respective stom-
achs. Soon after this little occurrence,
one family moved to Western Texas.
As the evil genius of the Lone Star
State would have it, the other, at the
close of the war, settled in the same
locality. Charley Taylor began the
present scrimmage by stealing the Sut-
ton horses. He was buried by the au-
thorities of Bastrop county the day
after the Suttons caught him. His
uncle, Buck Taylor, and his friend,
Dick Chisholm, expressed their feel
ings SO strongly about his killing as to
give offense to the sensitive soul of
William Sutton. Funerals in the Tay-
lor and Chisholm families ensued I'M
mediately. So far the balance of trade
was decidedly in favor of the Suttons.
Arittle judicious bushwhacking brought
the score about even. The Sutton
spirit revived, and simultaneously the
spirits of the Taylors again began to
wing their way to their future home.
Hays Taylor departed this life in 1871.
His brother Dobey joined him next
New Years. Mark Taylor lost all in
terest in earthly things few months
afterwards, and Pitkin Taylor
stepped out of his house into
eternity before the grass on
Marks grave was green. The Suttons
discovered that the Kelletts were re-
lated to the Taylors. The Kelletts
cumber Texan prairies no more. It
must not be inferred that the Taylors
were passive during all this time. They
took hand in whenever they had
chance, and succeeded in clearing their
happy hunting grounds of at least five
adherents of the Sutton faction. Early
last spring, the Suttons shared the Tay-
lors. They caught all that survived
them, and, as a Texan paper euphe-
mistically puts it, "would have ended
the difficulties" had not outside inter
ference secured the signing of treaty
of peace. This was apparently good
only on land, for William Sutton was
shot as soon as the Taylors found him
on a steamship. William Taylor was
clapped into jail for his share in the
affray, and his brother Snap, who was
in jail already, was taken out and shot
offhand, as a cheerful warning to
William. Texas would now like to try
the prisoner, but no jury can can be
got. Everybody in the neighborhood
has had relative Or two slaughtered at
some stage of the conflict. When the
case is supposed to be near trial the
courtroom fills up with hosts of Suttons
and Taylors, all of them walking ar
senals. Then the Judge postpones the
trial, and the two factions stick knives
and fire bullets into each other until
they are weary of the sport. Up to date
twenty-three have been killed If the
present rate of slaughter is maintained.
there is some chance that Taylors and
Suttons cannot be produced in sufficient
numbers to meet the demand. Until
the happy extinction of both families,
Texan undertakers need not fear dearth
of business. Chicago Tribune.
