A REMARKABLE FEAT.

At the recent exhibition at Atlanta,
Georgia. some of the Yankee exhibitors
undertook to show our Southern friends
just how quickly a suit of clothes could
be made after the cotton was picked,
The race against time is thus described:
1t WAS about sunrise on the appointed
day when those who were to gather the
cotton entered the field at N"rcrnSs. Ga,
Il small town twenty miles from Atlanta,
named for Jonathan N"rcr.'SS. ot Maine
The cotton was of the variety known as
"Zirr silk. which is not only very prolific
but the staple Of it is pronounced to he

This is by the English nntatipn--a mil
hon millions or 1000. 600. 600 600 IN
this country we use the French system,
which rpckons a thousand millions. or
900 600. 900 as a billion. The English
reckoning seems to he the more strictly
correct. lie does this by means of il.
Illustrations drawn IN familiar objects
of thought and sight. The RESULTS such
as will surprise many. Attention is thus
called to a billion as Il measure of time,
distance, or weight. W hen We speak.
for example. of billion of seconds, We
perhaps suppose that since the COM
mencement nf our era such number
had long since been measured ont.
Arithmetic shows us. however. that we
have not passed one-sixteenth Of that
number in all these long eventinl years
for it just takes 81 6S1 wears, l. days, %

A billion of sovereiGns would exceed,

Most readers who follow such state

with Mr. Bessimer that "a billion i q

Theatre.

Notwithstanding the exceedingly
bad walking last night there was q
very large audience at the Theatre
to witness the presentation of the
"StreetS of New York" given as a
complimentary benefit to Mr.. Geo.
G. Staley. The piece is probably a
difficult one to produce, and Whileit
was received with signs of marked
approval, and by applause by many,
the performance was open to severe
and just criticism. As a rule, the
business of the piece was pretty
well prepared. but in the dialogue
nearly all the actors were deficient
at times, so much so that speeches
were skipped and lines had to be re-
peated. An ineXcusable defect, and
one of frequent occurrence, was that
many of the scenes were entirely
spoiled because those on the stage
spoke SO low as to be inaudible to
the audience, and the giSt Of the
matter was entirely lost.
Before the last act Mr.. Staley ap-
peared before the curtain and re-
turned thanks for the generous pat
rOnage he had received.
The Sixth Infantry Band worked
steadily, but with all their numbers
they were utterly unable to render
music anything like as good as that
furnished by the regular theatre
orchestra. Some of their selections
the last one especially-were very
pretty.
