the foreign markets they have lost, seem to
indicate something beyond the accidental
A few years ago, for instance, the Ameri-
cans had the command of the China market
for the sale of the goods named "drlls." but
were underbid and oversold by their English
rivals. They profess to have now discovered
the secret of their failure, and to be able to
resume possession of the field. They found
this conclusion mainly on the fact that since
they have reduced wages effectually they can
produce more cheaply than the Lancashire
makers quality for quality. This last, unfor-
tunately, is our weak point In many cases
English articles have driven out others
because the cheapness is only super
fetal; it was owing to sophisticauon,
which, while it diminished the price,
also lowered the quality of the goods. and
when the trick is found out it will not bear
repetition. If, then, this American competi-
ton is to mean nothing serious, but only to
evaporate like other threats used at any time
during the last dozen years, the first thing
English manufacturers must do is to make
their goods what they profess to be. Unless
they keep up high standard in this respect
their hold over any market must bs feeble;
but if they give good moneys worth there Is
no reason why they should not distance Amer
lean rivals now just as they beat Belgian COM
petitors some years ago.

Conversations

The fact of man being a good talaer pre-
supposes good audience aud good audi
ence is becoming daily more difficult to OBJ
tain. The reason may easily be understood
by the reader of Boswell. johnson, we may
fairly assume, was the best of all English
takers on record. Now, Johnson was sur
rounded by little court OF familiar friends,
each of whom sustained misunderstood
character. A party consisting OF Johnson,
Burke, Reynolds, Goldsmith, Garrick, and so
on. was like company of actors, each OF
whom understands the powers of all his COL
leagues, and is able to cooperate to-
ward the general effect. They could
understand each other the humorist
was in no danger of being taken
to speak seriously; the man of special
information would not have his pet subject
snatcbed out of his mouth; the tender points
of tue irritable man were thoroughly under-
stood and his friends could avoid giving him
unnecessary offense. On the other hand
there was a sufficient amount OF variety to
save the members of the little circle from
boring each other too much. Some new
conner was always turning up VINO could IN
troduce new topics from the world OF ART, or
politics, or literature, or travel. ana IL Is on
the fortunate balance between these Two ele-
ments that the power of producing good con-
versation depends. There should be nucleus
of sufficiently intimate friends who should
form, SO to speak, an organic body, instead OF
mere collection of incoherent atoms, and
vet the circulation of its constituent parts
should be rapid enough to preserve certain
freshness of interest.
Now, the difference between the society OF
to-day and the society OF century ago Is pre-
cisely that all these little eddies have been
swept into the main stream. The rush OF the
The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-12-26

torrent is too furious to allow of the formation
of those pleasant little coteries in which alone
good conversation can be originally fostered.
There have been great takers since the days
of Johnson; but men like Macintosh and
Macaulay seem to have been rather lecturers
than conversers, because they could not come
into the same close personal relation with the
crowds who were for time fellow occupants
of the same room and others. who have had
some talent of the Theodore Hook kind, were
rather actors in private theater, than in any
proper sense of the word, takers.

When our foreign Office goes so far as to
send down TO Manchester sample OF Amerl-
can calico which has found It's way to Havre,
as a prelude to general invasion OF the con-
tinent. the situation from the British manu-
facturers point OF view may De Regarded as
serious. Lord Derby, no sever, has done this,
thinking, apparently, that the novel lmporta-
ton is worth looking into. The English Con-
sui at Havre sent this specimen over, 1t seems,
TO show what American manufactures could
accomplish, and he gave description OF the
stuff, alleging that it could be brought INTO
that port and sold at price named, were IL
not expressly excluded by treaty arrange,
ments. As no such obstacle exists here, Lord
Derby manifestly thinks that it IS worm the
while of English producers to estimate De-
forehand the extent Of the risk they may nave
to face.
There is a risk undoubtedly. When all is
said and done, the fact remains that Ameri-
can cotton manufactures have been intro
duced and sold in the very heart Of the Eng
Gsh cotton industry, and that more than one
firm of merchants-we have seen two distinct
circulars on the subjective thought 1t
their interest to specially announce an agency
for the sale Of such goods. 1t may be that
the import of calicoes lately mentioned has
been a purely exceptional operation, and that
the goods were only an unstable lot, exported
to Get anything they would fetch. But the
simultaneous attempt on France. and the an

BoDY FouND.-On Monday last, the
body of man was found on the rail-
road track near Yelm. 1t was brought
to Tenino, and an inquest was held by
Coroner Mossman, the result of which
was the finding that " deceased came to
his death by ill-health and exposure"
The doctor who was called to examine
the body makes the following report:
TENINo, w. r., March 20, 1875.
The unknown man found on the railroad
between here and Yelm Prairie this morn
ing, undoubtedly came to his death from
exposure and ill-health A towel was
found tied around his body, as if to quiet
the knawings of an empty stomach. He
was quite thin in flesh, and evidently ILL
fed. He was thinly clothed. His heart
and stomach showed evidences Of chronic
disease. The alimcntary canal was found
nearly empty, showing that he had not
eaten recently. He probably persisted in
the storm Of Saturday night or Sunday
morning. j. W. WAUGHop, NJ. ID.
coroner MOSSmnn description VI sHo
body is as follows:
"About 40 years of age; auburn hair
and whiskers height, about five feet six
inches an old scar on left side OF fore
head two upper front teeth gone on right
side had pale blue eyes had light col
ored wooden undershirt, gray wooden over
shirt, gray pants, with the pockets all
sewed up, striped vest and stoga shoes,
Nothing was found in any of his vest peck
cts" "
It was thought that the body was
that of julius Albright, the patient
recently escaped from the Asylum, but
Mr.. Harmon, the contractor, informs
us that the description does not answer
fully to that person.
