In tho annual report OF tho Secretary Of
Btnte is contained some interesting statistical
information concerning the stato Of trade be-
wcen tho Unitol statea and Europe, from
which 1t appenrs, to quote tho Language OF
h1r. EvAnTs, that two have not only to a
great extent emancipated ourselves from de-
pondence upon Europe for our supply Of
manufactures, but that we have, in somo i'm
portant branches Of manufactures, eutorcl
into very successful competition with Europe
III its own markets." The report shows i'll
detail the decrease of Imports and tho in
crease Of exports by tho United States In ills
dealings with franco, Germany, md G1eAt
Britain, resulting in heavy incsoaso Of tho
balance Of trade in our favor.

KiilinO GriSSiies.

Several weeks ago, in the neighbor-
hood of Hettenshaw, in this county, n
remarkable bear-hunt occurred. 1t up.
pears that DR.. Stanly, while on a visit
to Hettenshaw, expressed an earnest de-
sire to go bear-hunting; and accordingly
one morning he started, in company with
Green French, George Burgess,and 10.
Lightfoot. Arriving at q thicket, the
dogs gave notice of their near approach
to bear,and the party decided to station
themselves at certain points and let the
dogs go in and drive the bear out. This
was done; but the doctor, becoming
inpatient, entered the thicket himself.
The heavy underground made his pro-
gress slow, but he fought his way ahead
until he came to fallen tree lying in II
little gulch. Helping himself along by
the limbs he arrived at the upper end
just in time to he confronted by huge
grizzly bear. Retreat was impossible,
as it had been with the utmost difficulty
that the doctor had advanced SO far .;
there was no tree in convenient distance,
and, as the grizzly showed fight, there
was nothing left for him to do but
shoot. Taking deliberate aim with his
Henry rife, the doctor fred and the bear
fell MORALLY wounded. Another load
was sprung from the magazine into the
rife, and the doctor, looking toward his
prey, was surprised to see o second bear
in the same spot. This he shot also,
and, quickly reloading, was yet more u.s.
tonished to see third bear in the same
place where he had shot the other two.
Again the lever moved and a fresh charge
went into position, and again the doctor
looked up and discovered fourth grizzly
coming toward him from the same open
ing in the brush. Whang, went the gun
again, and down went bear No. 4. BY
this time the doctor had got warmed up
and excited, and he kept moving the
lever and firing into the bodies of the
bears until the sixteen shots in the mag
azine were exhausted. Meantime his
companions, hearing the shooting, and
presuming the cause, made their way to
where the Doctor was, with the intention
of assisting him, but found him on top
of the largest bear, with the others strewn
about, swinging his hat and shouting
Justify. One was an immense grizzly,
so large that the hunters could not han
die him, and the other three were good
sized grizzlies, probably about 2 years
old. The shooting of four bears by one
man, without ever changing his posi-
ton, is something hitherto unheard of,
even in the most highly-colored annals
of the Western wilds.--

Tact.

It was once Causeur's good fortune to
spend few days in the modest home
of friend of slender means; home
that was all that its owner could afford
to make it, yet lacked many things that
would have made it more comfortable
and convenient. During Causeur's stay
two guests were entertained at tea. both
of them men of means and wide &C.
auaintance, accustomed to all the luxu-
nv that wealth can give. But they were
widely different in their behavior. The
first dwelt upon the fact that the house
was in an out-of-the-way spot, and that
there were few or no neighbors. At the
table he told of the delicious tea he had
drank at the house of one friend; of the
rich tea service he had seen upon the
table of another; of the rare old china
that was used in his own household,
and of the dainty meals he had eaten
from it. In the cramped little sitting
room, after tea, he sat by the stove. and
talked of the delights of an open wood
fire; of his enjoyment of rare and cost
ly books and pictures, and Of twenty
other things that the host, Of whose
hospitality he had partaken, did not
and could mot possess. When he had
gone, it was clear, although nothing
was said. that his visit had caused pain:
that il had made the wife feel her

The procession lasts until evening,

the festival is expected: the pageant of
the Mistick Krewe of Comus, which
mysterious society always tries to eclipse
Rex by its prodigal splendors. The
"Krewe" first appeared in 1857, repre-
senting characters from Paradise
Lost" Next year it paraded the gods
and goddesses Of mythology, with the
chariot of Aurora, and other beautiful
groups. The third year, the "courtly
pageant" of Twelfth Night; its fourth
appearance pictured American history;
its fifth, "Life," or the ages of man.
Then the war made great gap, during
which there were no Carnival years but
in 1866 the Krewe appeared once more
as the "Court of Comus." Since then,

Flags and Banners.

How is it that Il flag has come to bear
SO much Importance and express such
manifold meaning as it does? 1t is the
vehicle of maritime conversation, and
symbol of earthly power. It is nation
al, commercial and personal. It is not
merely decorative, but significant. It
marks the war feet and the mercantile
marine, the army in the field and the
sleeping place of the warrior. in the ca
thedral. Even those phases of senti-
ment which are common to the whole
world are conveyed by it. In all ma
tons a white flag indicates the desire
for truce or peace, while generally
yellow one means the presence of some
plague; red denotes defiance or battle,
and black marks the pirate. The flag
not only designates the ship, the regi-
ment, the castle and the fort, but forms
the frequent equipment of the school
of the Church. When q people or
place makesa holiday, the amount of en-
thusiasm felt may be mostly measured
by the number of banners that are dis
played. Victories in battles are imme-
diately estimated by the flags quite as
much as by the cannon that are cap
tured. In peace and war the flag is i'm
Fortunately pre-eminent. We make
songs to it; it is the object of respect
full salutation and vehicle Of deadly in
suit. Do we annex or occupy fresh
country or place, the act of occupation
is incomplete till, with all the ceremony,
flag is hoisted on pole. The lower
ing of it is the universally accepted adj
mission of surrender or defeat. And
yet it is the fimsiest, most tickle instru-
ment or material that can be used. We
talk or sing OF its "braving for thou
sand years the battle and the breeze"
Nevertheless, it yields to every wind
that blows, futters into rags in a gale,
and presents the minimum OF resistance
to fire, sword and bullet. 1t is the sport
of the air and prey Of the moth. No
doubt, however, its extreme lightness is
its great recommendation. It is easy
to carry, to raise, to wave and to shift.
1t represents the largest surface that
can be packed in the least space. Per-
haps. however, being easily moved by
the wind, the chief secret of its univer-
sal adoption lies in the fact that even in
the gentlest breeze it always indicates
life. 1t is not merely the ightest and
handiest instrument fer signalling, but
il is the liveliest. When left to itself,
it goes on tapping and huttering on its
own account. Though the cannon OF
the fort be silent, their smoke dis
persed and not human head show it
self above the rampant. the unwearied
flag still goes on saying Its say, and
fiaunts defiance. or bears its airy witness
to the survival of the bomharded foe.
He NAV be hard hit and distressed. but
his flag asserts itself with perhaps even
livelier protest when half OF its body
has been shot away. The flag never
Oiyes in. Nail it to the staff, and as long
as rag Is left it detes submission
