The Exhibition in Philadelphia will
make a splendid show of American boots

ority in producing these indispensable
articles. As II guide not only to foreign
ers but to our own citizens, we now give
a few statistics relating to the condition
OF this great industry in this co1R-
try.
We produced in 1870 boots and shoes
valued at the enormous sum OF $ISl GA
$50. This amount has since been aug
mented, and in 1875 the production was
fully 5000, 100000.
We exported in 1879 boots and shoes
valued at S5l9,920, or IA trihe Overcome
quarter per cent. Of the whole amount
produced In other words for every $lGi
| worth of boots and shoes produced we
exported p cents or a quarter of a dol
| lar i'll value. now we may fairly assume
| that the surplus production is, at the
loH eat calculation, a. per cent, or that
| we produce $4,000, 900 more boots and
shoes than we are fairly able to consume
at home. The case then stands thus;

dressed IN black cloth suit, high hat,
and wearing full beard, came up the

the railway track; he fell with his neck
directly across the rail in front Of car

which was just passing. The front
VIII. el went over his neck and the car
was stopped before the hind wheel
struck him. He was at once pulled
out by the bystanders, but it was found
| his neck was broken and he died almost
instantly. The body was taken on a
strether to the Central Station, and
from thence to the Morgue and the
