Granville corners is situated about
two miles north of the Connecticut
line. A large mill stream runs through
the place "a branch of the Westfeld
river), furnishing a number of privi-
leges, most of which are utilized.
Messrs. Noble & Colley are by far the
largest manufacturers in the place.
They say that in December, 1853, they
first made a drum in Mr.. Mobiles
fathers kitchen, from a board found
in the barn, steamed it with a tea
kettle, and used two hogs bladders for
the heads. Next they made a dozen
drums, and sent them away in a boot
box. They now have a factory of 10
by 40 ieet, with five floors, and use
steam and water. They have made
and sold 10000 drums. They were
made of wood, tin, brass and nickel.
They used for heads of all these drums
10000 sheep skins, which came from
Liverpool, OF the kind known as sailed
feshes. Let none of your readers
wonder where all the toy drums are
made hereafter. This firm also made
400 gross of toy pistols, $4,000 boxes
ten pins, 200 gross rolling hoops, and
42,OOO boxes wooden tooth picks.

During the celebration of the Calde-
ron centenary at Madrid, the public
were presented with a special number
Of 81 Dia, made up in the style, type
and fashion of the seventeenth centu-
ry. The articles were mainly by
writer's of celebrity, such as Emilio
CASTELAR,, and signed by them; and a
number ofbeau'ifully executed wood
%engravings, Illustrative of the scenes
and actions of precisely two hundred
years ago, gave variety to the pages of
the journal. A parallel between
Shakespeare and Calderon was the
theme of Senior Castelar's paper, and
that distinguished statesman had the
taste to give the English dramatist
the palm Of superiority.

= this additional precaution on the pars
OF Pierola's government. As it did not
better our condition standing there in
discussion on the subject, we concluded
the only alternative was to go in quest
of this high official
SO up the hill we ran, asking every
body we met where we were to find the
Captaincy of the Port, but nobody ap-
peared to know any more about it than
we. However, after d laborious march
through many streets, We at last en-
countered an Italian who directed US to
the proper house. This house, instead
of being near the mole or some conspic-
uous site on the road from the depot,
was situated up among the ranches on
the sand-hill at the end of the town--all
uphill work, over unevenly paved streets
OF cobble-stones, to reach it, 1t was a
most out-of-the-way place.
On reaching this rancho we presented
our passports to the Captain for inspec-
ton. He merely glanced at them, then
at his customer to calculate from his
general appearance how much he would
be likely to pay.
was the first, and not knowing that
anything would be due, I thanked him
in very cool manner and put the paper
IN my pocket, buttoned up my coat, and
was going to step one side to give others
a chance, when he said in rather timid
way, Zone dollar" paid it without q
murmur, and walked out Of the room ON
to the balcony to wait for my friends.
They came out one by one, and on the
way back to the mole one of them told
me that he had accidentally pulled out
roll of bills with his passport, and that
after it had undergone inspection he WAS
charged So; no didn't relish that, and so
began to dispute the price with the Cap
tain, and before he left beat him down to
50. Such was the style of this official OF
Pierola. Weagain returned to the mole.
and after second inspection of pass
ports and baggage, we were allowed to
embark.
On our arrival at Chimbote, the Cap.
tain of the Port was very undecided
whether it would or would not be the
correct thing to allow us to go ashore.
We dropped anchor there about noon,
and it was not until six o'clock that he
gave his consent that we might go ashore
if we chose.
In the meantime l had become dis
gusted with that style of procedure, and,
hiring small boat, went aboard the
steamer for Panama and there remained
until it reached its destination.-INe New
