A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.

A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.
 An international exhibition is to be held in Amsterdam, Holland, next year, beginning on the first of May, This exhibition is expected to be of great benefit to Holland and also to help some other countries whose trade with Holland and her dependencies has hitherto been limited.
 It might be thought that enterprising men in this country would be quick to take ad- vantage of the opportunities which will be afforded by this exhibition, but hitherto they have not paid much attention to them. This MT Ado1ph Boissevain banker of Amster- dam, who is now in New York; thinks is a mistake. He believes that manufacturers and others in this country might derive much benefit from the exhibition. He points out that while Holland itself contains a popula- ton of only 100000 the Dutch colonies Of Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Celebes, etc.. have a. population of over 40, 900, 900. He was asked what would be the best articles for America to send to the exhibition and answered.: We'll, those articles would be the best which would be good for export to our colonies. * At the present time the more prominent ar ticles of export from New York to the Dutch colonies are petroleum Gin cases) cotton manufactures, carriages, machinery, furni- ture and watches To Holland itself, in ad- dltion to these, there are large exports of provlsions-wheat, corn, flour, oats, bacon, lard, canned meats, oleomargarine, &c.-as we'll as timber, agricultural implements, pi- amos and Maryland and Kentucky tobaccos American carriages in particular are very popular, particularly in the colonies, to which they seem peculiarly adapted. I believe, for instance, that at least fifty per cent of all the carriages in Sumatra como from America. The export of cotton goods from here used to be very large. Before your American war 1t had attained great proportions. At that time believe am within the bounds in say ing that the export of manufactured cotton goods from America to the Dutch colonies was larger than the export of the same goods from Holland and England together. After the war, however, it fell off greatly. Several attempts to revive it have been made, bu+ heretofore without any marked success I believe, however, that this exhibition will have good effect in that direction and that in the course of few years it will have grown again to the proportions of former years at least, if it does not go far beyond.
 Some of the New Haven carriage makers might perhaps find profit in sending spec- mems of their work to the exhibition. Am other thing needed in Holland and her colo nies is good light wagon. The wagons in use are heavy and cumbersome and there is great and unnecessary waste of power in drawing them. An enterprising wagon maker who would send specimens of his work to the exhibition and good persuader of the Dutch as his agent might enlarge his trade

Mrs. Langtry i'm Boston.

Correspondence Of the Hartforo Courant.I
 Mrs. Langtry is playing her engagement here under depressing circumstances. She has not been the pecuniary success that was looked for, and socially she is altogether ig nored. I observe that some of the papers out of the city speak of the Papyrus club as having rendered her reception. This IS 8 mistake The Papyrus club has it's annual ladies' night on Saturday. Mrs Langtry be- ing occupied at the theater could not attend the dinner, so that the question of inviting her not raised. It was arranged, howev- CT, that she should come in later in the even- ing. This was the first opportunity that any assemblage of Bostonians had had offered to behold her off the stage A few outsiders, besides those who partook of the dinner, were invited to come in at ten o'clock to get a sight of the Jersey lily. The most of these were wise enough not to come till an hour later; but they came only to be disappointed I hear of three four parties, including distinguished English visitor, who waited half hour in the ante-room, leaving the company at the dinner table in the distance, but not meeting Mrs Langtry, receiving any explanation of Mrs. Langtry's ab- sence, and finally leaving in disgust. The lady ln question was so worn out by the excitement and the fatigue of the week that she found it impossible to appear. The town has been full of stories about Mrs Langtry's relations with Mrs Labou- chere and the circumstances that attended their separation. We are told that MT Geb- hardt, the young man to whom Mrs Labou chere objected, is here, and that he has brought his horses with him, and that Mrs. Langtry has ridden to and from the theater in his company after them. He boards at the hotel with her, and he has followed her to the theater, and once obtained admission behind the scenes as her friend, though he was afterwards told by the management that his presence was objectionable there. He sat in private box that had been allotted to the actress afterwards. He left the city last Saturday but this matter has not improved Mrs Langtry socially with us as you may well suppose. There plenty of people who have curi sity to meet her yet I do not think the Papy club could have brought together many ladies for this purpose at an announced ception, especially if it had been understood that their names were to be made public Mrs Langtry is evidently very hard worked. Her effort tells upon her, and she looks more and more On Saturday the play had to be delayed to enable her to recover from a nervous prostration that had overcome her, Her houses are not large The lower part of the house is filled, but in the upper portions there are always 10 g rows of va cant seats. Her acting is not liked, and her claims to beauty contested But one pa per in the city (the ITanscript) gives her fla vorable criticisms Her Boston engagement is disappointment to everybody, and must be bitter one to her managers and to her self.

In these days Of 'recounts' and expos- ures of the blunders of election officers the suspicion arises that a great many men have held office who were not really elected. How election officers can blunder is indicated in the case of the recent municipal election in Newburyport, Mass. There the mayoralty candidate who, according to the first count, had seven majority, is shown by the recount to have been defeated by nearly three times that majority. In one ward, whose total vote was only about 300, mistake of II votes was made, and in every other ward but one the recount showed that votes had been miscounted. Possibly a recount in New Haven might not reveal e much more com- mendable state of affairs

The bill to further the settlement of the French spoliation claims which the Senate has passed is the seventh one of the kind passed by that body, the other occasions be- ing in 1885, 1845, 1S46, 1851, 1855 and 1859. It now goes to the House, where favorable report is already on the calendar from the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The House bill will probably be dropped, and that from the Senate substituted when the matter comes up there

The prophecies published about a dozen years ago by Samuel Benner, an Ohio man.
 are attracting some attention just now Ac- cording to him 'pig iron is our north star to guide over the dangerous roads of com merce. It is the barometer of trade and as the sudden falling of the mercury denotes violent changes ill the atmospherical world
 so does the periodical decline in the price of pig iron indicate panic, depression and gen.
 eral stagnation of business" His prediction for the last four years was "In the years of 1878, 1879, 1880 and 1881 the price of pig iron will be in the ascending scale, the iron trade will again be prosperous. and in these years especially in the last tive, 1880 and 1881, money will be made very fast, unless trammelled by unwise legislation upon the currency and tariff" This will be acknowl- edged to be pretty good guessing. From this time till 1888, says MT. Benner, pig iron will be depressed. After 1888 all is to be 'lovely" for three years. Pig iron will ad- vance and all business will be prosperous up to the year 1891, when he predicts Q panic which will sweep over the world. Time will tell whether MT. Benner has guessed right.
 The petition of the commercial travellers for 8 national law preventing States and mu- nicipalities from assessing special tax upon ! them is not unr easonable As the Providence J0at'Tal says The system which they repre- sent is o very important part of the machin. cry of trade, and growing still more so, as it becomes complicated and extended. There | is no more reason why the representative of a merchant should be specially taxed, any more than the merchant himself and all these imposts become eventually burdens upon the consumer and general people, not reducing even the local taxes for whose re
 lief they are imposed. The system of com mercial travellers, through whom the retai merchants now make the majority of thei, purchases, is not only great convenience but great advantage in the saving of time and expense of journeys that would other wise be necessary to the mercantile commu nifty, and they are part of the regular ma chinery of internal commerce. The mos thriving and enterprising cities and town
 have long ago ceased to impose any specia impost upon these agents of trade, and il others the regulations are tacitly avoided There is no reason why they should be mad

The blood is the foundation of life, it circulates through every part of the body, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible. If disease has entered the system the ouly sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood.
 These simple facts are we'll known, and the highest medical authorities agree that n0thfng but iron will restore the blood to its natural condition; and also that all the iron preparations hitherto made blacken the teeth, cause head ache, and are otherwise injurious.
 BRoWN's IRON BITTERs will thor oughly and quickly assimilate with the blood, purifying and strengthen ing it, and thus drive disease from any part of the system, and it will not blacken the teeth, cause head ache or constipation, and is posi- lively uot injurious.

 Gents Upon the recomn ton of a friend I tried BROWN IRON LETTERS as a tonic and re-% storative for my daughter, whom l was thoroughly convinced was wasting away with Consumption. Having lost three daughters by the terrible disease, under the care of eminent physicians, was 10th to believe that anything could arrest the progress of the disease, but, to my great surprise, before my daugh- ter had taken one bottle of BROWNS IRON BIrTERs, she began to mend and now is quite restored to former health. A fifth daughter began to show signs of Consumption, and when the physician was consulted he quickly said "Tonics were re- quired :" and when informed that the elder sister was taking BRowN's IRON BIrTERs, responded "that is good tonic, take it.'

COMUNICADOS
F AL S E D A D E S .

En- I'm suelto publicado por Ell Agente
en- su nimero del 18 de los corrientes,
parece que Sc pretende ridiculizar, con
sofismas de NAL genera, a los conservado-
res espanoles sin condolences del pueblo
de Bayam6n.
Ell comunicante, traspasando los lfmi-
tes de Ia verdad y del honor, dice que,
con motive de un Te-Deum cantado en-
Bayam6n { fu6 en- ell templo) en- acci6n
de gracias por ell feliz alumbramiento de
S. M. la Reina "a. D. g., asistieron
a dicho acto solo tres personals, es decir,
ell Parroco, ell Alcalde y ell Secretario del
Ayuntamlento.
Conste, pues, que es una solemne false
dad la narraci6n de los hechos que con-
tiene ell suelto en- question; pues han
asistido 8 aquella ceremonial varias per-
sonas de d1stintas epresentaciones, y no
sOlamente tres como atirma ell comu-
nicante. Hay mas: dice ell autor del
referido suelto que ell Ayuntamiento esta
compuesto solamente de Conservatives,
siendo asi que el mayor ntmero de los
que lie componen es de reformistas.
Pero no es precise ir mas ALA para como
Ger la tendencia: va sabemos que 10
que Sc pretende es tildar ell acrisolado
patriotismo de los que todo 10 sacrifcan
en- aras de Ia patria. Y 10 que mas nos
causa extraneza es que aquellos hombres
en- quienes debe verse mejor la practica
de las virtudes y de la justicia, son los
primeros en- vulnerar los preceptos del
Decalogo, faltando asi la observancia
del octave Mandamiento, que nos veda
injuriar al pr6jimo en- su reputation con
ell falso testimonio la mentira.
Las leyes eclesi$sticas y civiles han
pronunciado varias penas contra ell falso
testimonio. Teodulfo, obispo de Orleans,
que vivid q tiltimos del siglo VIII, ad-
vierte en- el capitulo 81 de sus Capitula-
res, que la Iglesia castigaba a los testigos
falsos, excomulgandolos, 81 eran seglares,
y deponi6ndolos, 81 eran eclesiasticos.
