A CARGO of 113 statues and lis paint
ings has just been shipped from Genoa TO
South America, to be there exhibited for
sale in the various cities. The most emit
nent painters and sculptors of Milan,
Florence, Rome and Naples forwarded in
the collection their best specimens of
workmanship, in the hope of getting good
prices for them and rendering Italian art
attractive to new customers, as native
buyers are getting to be still fewer and
further between. Rossetti, Lombard,
TOmbrini and Iadolini were among the
Roman sculptors, and they abide in great
expectation that return cargo of money

a PARTISAN, more noted for his avarice
than for fidelity TO his wife, was driving
the Otber day with an actress TO whom he
Is particularly devoted, when in order to
put on her gloves she was obliged to take
of four rings, worth at least $1,000. As
she had no pocket in her dress she en-
trusted the rings to her escort who put
them carelessly in his pockets. After the
performance at the theater was over our
friend returned home, ard entering his
wiles room, without thinking, emptied
his pockets. placing the contents on the
marble mantle. The glittering Jewels inn
medlately caught the conjugal eye and
trouble was imminent. when the gentle
man said: ''My dear. business has pros
pered to-day. These four rings are pres
ent for you" Disuust vanished, and JOY
took its place. AT daybreak a messenger
came from the actress TO reclaim the rings
He was Immediately sent away, and at
noon the avaricious victim explained
TO the actress, and was obliged to paw
her $1,000 in bank notes for the Jewels.
As for his wife, she now never wearies of
eulognmg her husband. and while show
ing the rings 10 her friends, exclaims:
''They say that he is avariciOus, it is ca
lumny, for look at these"
An extensive printing house, supplied
with facilities for stereotyping and print
ing books upon a large scale, and which is
intended to give employment to nearly
two hundred workmen, has been estab-
fish in the village of Rouse's Point, n. Y,
on the Canadian line. The peculiarly of
this enterprise consists in the fact that
Rouse's Point is very small village with
no trade TO speak of, and that the owners
of the printing hOISe are Canadians, who
have set up their establishment on Amer
lean soil liz consequence of provisions of
law in regard to copyrights which give
American publishers an advantage over
Canadians in the reprinting of Eng
llsh books for the Canadian market.
In Canada no English books can
be reprinted without the permits
sion OF the author, whose copyright
extends to the Dominion, while in the
United States publishers can reprint any
English book and send it into Canada for
sale ON paying duty of twelve and half
per cent, which is collected for the benefit
of the author. The Canadian publishers
who have located in Rouse's Point think
it cheaper to print their books in this
country and pay the twelve and half per
cent. than to deal directly with the Eng
fish authors.
