The Commerce Of ALI Nations.

Professor Spollart, of Vienna, has
been to the trouble of compiling statis-
tics of the commerce of all nations for
the year 1876, Of course, some of his
figures must of necessity be approx
NATIVE only. but for all purposes Of
comparison they are correct enough.
He finds that the aggregate commerce
OF the world for that year was about
S14 1900, 0O0, 900, of which S7,474, AGO.
600 consisted of imports and $685.
100000 Of exports. Geographically,
the commerce was distributed as fol-
lows: Europe, 71.25 per cent. of the
whole; North and South America, Is. %
per cent. Asia, 8.07 per cent. For Eu
rope, the. foreign commerce averages
s34.52 per head of population; for
America, S25 22;- for Asia, SI.4O; for
Australia, s256TT, and for Africa.
$500. With about two-thirds of the
whole population of the globe, Asia ex.
changes with the outside world only
Sl.40 per head of population-only
about one-eighth of her proportionate
share.

A Stage Romance.


Early in the present dramatic season,
while the Genevieve Ward Combina-
ton was playing in the Philadelphia
Academy of Music, youth of excellent
address, fine personal appearance and
apparent education, applied to Messrs.
Jarfet & Palmer for a situation-in any
department whereby he might 60 on the
then proposed; tour. He, said that he
needed no salary, was willing worker,
q good mechanic and abundantly able
to pay his own railroad fares and hotel
bills. His object was to thoroughly
learn the stage business and to eventu-
ally secure speaking part, whereby he
mis hit advance in the profession. His
solicitations were 50 persistent and his
manner so persuasive that permission
was granted to him to act as an assist
ant in the carpentering department. He
proved to be all he had claimed, was
steady and useful; and so skillful that
when the master carpenter. was obliged
by sickness to retire the new conner
was promoted to the vacant place. He
was universal favorite with the COM
pany, attracted the attention of Miss
Ward and Mr.. Levie by valuable sugges-
tions as to stage effects, and even discuss
ed Shakespeare with them in q manner
which showed his thorough acquaint-
anee with the works of the great poet.
In St. Catharine's, Canada, Mr.. Craig,
who played Join G7tst in ssJane Shore"
was taken, seriously i'll, and the new
conner, who went by the name of tssBob,,,.
Trimmer, volunteered to appear in the
part. No one else was available, his
offer was accepted, and, to the astonish-;
ment Of all, he made an immense hit,
was called before the curtain and the
next morning the press said that ",Mr.,
Craig" whose name was retained in
the bills, g divided the honors with the
star" The morrow found him in his
proper department again, and he made
no reference to his wondrous histrionic
success. He adroltly parted all ques-
tons as to his bone and family, and he
remained a" living mystery until, a
few days ago, IN Hamilton, letter was
received by Mr.. Tooker, the manager,
dated at Cambridge, Mass, and signed
by the mysterious young mans father,
who by some means had learned his
sons whereabouts. and wrote begging
Mr.. Tooker and Miss Ward to use their
influence towards securing his return to-
his home. The mystery was a mystery
no longer, and the young man. yielding
to the desire of his parents. returned to
Cambridge, where he is known as Mr.

Here Jones took up tumbler of lem
onade with mhdhsol emnisy ,ahdsa dYahe-
ing across the room with a majestic
step, halted before Smith. and exclaim-
ed "Saul, son of Kish, T, the Prophet
Samuel, d. D., anoint thee King over
the people of Israeli" poured the re-
freshing heyerageupont Smiths head !;
then yelling " Hurry up another wheel
barrowrul of them bricks!" he jerked
Smiths legs from under him, and, seiz-
ing him by the feet ran with him on his
nose across the room, like q barrow, and
damned his head against the opposite
wall; then, dropping the unlucky anna
teufy mesmeristr he advanced with q
steafthy step, and Kissed in blood
curdling tone, "Give me the dagger,
and will these brawny hands of mine
inc;srn adine In the Villains hearts,
blood; send him down, down, down to
the deepest depths of perditien. and
join him there, my dreadful mission of
vengeance being accomplished up to the
handle" .
AT this one woman tainted, three got
out of the room, and the mistress of the
house turned in the burglar alarm for a
policeman, and adjured Smith to run
for doctor and take the man out of his
trance with stonach-pump or an cleo
trie embrocation, or something, before
there had been done deed of dreadful
note. Smith did not wait to be told
twice, but dashed out of the house like
runaway fash of lightning, not stop
ping to put on his hat or overcoat, and,
as he was going through the gate, ran
plump into the officer who, was answer
ing the call.
''You scoundrel," cried the officer, as
they relledover each other, g surrender,
or I'll blow your brains out with my
club" and he took hold of Smith with
so determined grip that he tore every
button off of his shirt and wais tcoat.
81 was going for the doctor-there's
raging maniac in that house," gasped
Smith; "lemme 60"
go, that's too thin," contemptuous-
ly replied the policeman; "what are
you giving mep Come along into the
house, and let's see how many spoons
you have about you"
So he dragged his captive in, giving
him hearty shake at every third step,
and when the front door was opened,
he found Jones seated, clothed in his
right mind, conversing on the weather.
Explanations were made to the officer,
and then Smith borrowed new collar
and some pins, repaired his damages,
and went home, after vainly endeavor-
ing to leave an impression upon the
company that it was a put-up job be-
tween him and Jones to contribute to
the evenings amusement. Jones is not
looked upon at present as quite as green
as they took him to be, and is decidedly
the social lion of the neighborhood: IN
