THE official report of the experts and
imports of the United States for the ten
months ending October 81 shows a mark
ed increase in the importation of articles
which compete with our manufactures
which have high protective duty. The
value of our imports of cotton goods,
other than prints, increased from SlS,-
C15,6S9 for the same months in 1879, to
$26, Alb, 100 in 1880. Meanwhile our ex-
ports of the same articles were S1,071,-
PA in 1870, and S1.3S4,O2S in 1880. This
is balance against US in these cotton
manufactures of S19,3S4,219 In prints
there was an increase Of about 25 per
cent. in the imports, and a small falling
off in the aggregate exports. The duties
on these articles run from 35 per cent.

our imports of iron and manufactures
If iron and steel were of the value of
S5S, ,32O i'll 1880, against Sl2, 1859
in the same months in 1879. Our eX-
ports at the same time showed a slight
falling off, being SlO,415,O76. The duties
on these articles range from 45 to 165

The Legislative raid on shoddy butter
has taken on an amusing feature at Co.
lumbus. II is proposed to make any
landlord or boarding house keeper liable
toa fine of $40 and ten days imprison-
ment who does not inform his guests of
the composition of the bntter he sets be-
fore them. This is rather hard OH the
hotel aud clearinghouse keepers. How
are they to know what butter is made
Of? The mysteries of butter are only
less than those of hash and sausage.
Pure unadulterated butter can undoubt-
edly be had. but who is certain of it
unless he can trace it through the hands
of the middlemen to the manufacturer =?
And even then he must rely for the pu-
rity of tie article on the general reputa-
tion of the maker for integrity. There
are too many compounds called butter
that go to the table infinitely worse than
a cleanly article of oleomargarine, for
landlords and landladies to be mulct in
fines and thrust into jails because they
do not know the nature of the compost
tions they set before their customers as
butter.

The card OF this hotel in Mem

reading. The hotel is convenient
~ located on Second street, oppo-
site the lower corner of Court
Square, and is conducted by a
a most excellent lady, and one
who thoroughly understands the
difficult task OF keeping a hotel.
She is assisted in the office by a
young Mississippian whose mother
and aunt are two of the most es-
Unable ladies' of Grenada, and il is
enough 10 say he is worthy of such
a mother and such an aunt. You
may be sure you will be made to

In calling attention to the new
card Of this sterling firm we can
not refrain from ~reiterating what
has been repeatedly said BY this
and other journals after long and
thorough acquaintance, and that's
it is indeed and in all respects a
STERLING establishment. The
goods are all that they are repre-
sented to be, the prices are always
reasonable, the work is perfect.
and from ''the old man. down TO
young Frank everybody in the
house is pleasant and accommo-
dating, and you never see so much
as a shade upon the brow of one
of them, unless some h~ypochon-
driac or chronic grumbler sets up
a distordant tune about hard times
sufficient TO make 4 crocodile
weep. The goods in this house
are always, as we have before re-
marked, just what they are repre-
sented TO be, and among the very
large number Of our friends and
readers who have dealt there, and
are still doing SO, we have yet to
see, or hear Of, the first one who
was ever dissatisfied.

1t will be seen by a notice in an
other column that a meeting oil the
stockholders Of this company will
be held in Sardis on the 18th OF
June, to consider the question of
changing the guage OF the road.
This change is made necessary by
the action Of the New Orleans. St.
Louis 4 Chicago company chang
ing the gusge Of their road to cor
respond with all connecting roads
north Of the Ohio river. The other
roads leading into Memphis will
doubtless be changed in n very
short time. else we shall see no
more l.. s. N. cars on this end of
the line after July. We presume
there is no doubt that the change
will be ordered by the stock-hold-
ers, as it has already been decided
upon by the directors, subject, OF
course, to the approval Of the
stockholders. 1t is an unavoid-
able necessity, and must be done
in order TO accommodate the traf-
Gc coming to this over The only
road that has a close connection
with it.
