THE END

WHERE BUTTONS COME FROM.-The but
ton trade of New York is estimated at from
eight to ten million dollars year. Last year
the importation Of buttons exceeded three
and half million dollars, the aggregate for
the four years lust passed being but little
short of thirteen million dollars. At Ameri-
can rates of wages many of the imported
buttons could not be put upon their cards for
the price they sell for.
Glass button are made mostly in Bohemia,
and children are largely employed at the work,
which they do as quickly and neatly as adults.
The children get ten cents day, men from
forty to fifty, and women a little less Pearl
buttons are exported from Vienna, where they
are most exclusively manufactured; but the
all-important shirt buttons are received most
ly from Birmingham, England, where the
majority CT metal buttons are likewise pro-
cured. The most extensive of all the button
manufacturing, however, is that of the Paris
ian and Berlin novelties. In one manufacture
ing village near Paris, where there are from
5000 to 5000 inhabitants all the working peo-
pie are engaged in making the agate button,
which, even with thirty per cent. duty added
to the cost, sells, when imported into this
country, at the extremely low figure of thirty
one cents per great gross. The material alone,
could not be procured here for double that
amount.
While American manufacturers make no
attempt, and probably have no desire to com.
pete with European producers employing hand
processes, they excel in making bone, compo-
sition, brass, ivory and geld buttons by ma
ehinery, and are able to export considerable
quantities of these styles. In Providence, r.
l., for example, sleeve buttons are largely
manufactured expressly for exportation.-

THE SHOWMAN's TRADE.-A Snowman af-
ter assuring reporter that nothing pleases
the people more than something full Of peril
and bloodshed, gives the following incident of
his career; but we don't vouch for it's truth.
fulness- is; not quite:
''I ran whole season on lion that had
eaten a keeper. The people came in crowds,
expecting every day to see him make break
fast of his trainer. Was he actually danger
GUS? Dangerous He eat another trainer,
and then lost him. His widder was actually
in love with her husband, and she swore the
animal should be killed, and the people sided
with her; and as the beast was getting old,
and the KILN made paying sensation, did
it. But made all there was out of it. 1 in

funeral. She said there was nothing to bury
as the lion had eaten her husband. "But ain It
the dear departed in the lion? If we bury
the lion, don't we bury the dear departed p
Cert she said. And we had it, and it was
gorgeous. We had percession with all our
wagons in it, the regular street parade, only
all our riders had black scarfs on 'em, and the
wagons and horses and elephants and SIGH
were draped in black, and the band played a
dead march. The widder was in an open car
riage in full mourning, with white handker-
chief with black border to her eyes, lookin' on
his miniatoor There wasn't no miniatoor, but
she held case just the same That night the
canvas couldn't hold the people. We run that

PRAISE OF WoMAN.-Says Jared Sparks
81 have observed among all nations that the
women ornament themselves more than the
men that wherever found they are the same
civil, kind, obliging, humane, tender beings
that they are ever inclined to be gay and
cheerful, timorous and modest. They do not
hesitate like men to perform hospitable OF
generous action not naughty nor arrogant,
not supercilious, but full of courtesy and fond
of society; Industrious, economical, lngenu.

and performing more good actions than he.

cency and friendship to woman, whether
civilized or savage, without receiving decent
answer. With man it has often been other.
wise. In wandering over the barren plains of
inhospitabe Denmark, through honest SWe-
den, frozen Lapland, rude and churlish Fin
land, unprincipled Russia, and the widespread
regions of the wandering Tartar, if hungry,

virtue, so worthy of the appellatiOn of benevo'

free and kind a manner that, if was dry, /

A CAMEL's KICK.-The camel's kick is a
study. AS it stands demurely chewing the
cud, and gazing abstractedly at some totally
different far away object, up goes hind leg,
drawn close to the body, with the foot pointed
out a short pause, and out it flies with an
action like the piston and connecting-rod of a
steam engine, showing Il judgment of distance
and direction that would lead you to suppose
the leg gifted with perceptions Of it's own, in.
