A consular report from Zurich says that the silk manufacturers are in good spirits over the results of the last years production. Many orders from France and America have been received, all works are occupied, and the production is the largest ever attained. And this in spite of the diminution of the European demands, with the exception of that from France. The English production has increased, and the consumption dimin- ished. Austria and Germany have raised their tariffs and make only the half of their former purchases. Italy manufactures the same articles and protects them by high du- ties. and Spain follows this example. The Indian markets are Rlutted and South Anaeri- ca draws it's supply from Paris. Theslarge ex- ports are due mainly to the United States,
 which has made purchases to the enormous figure of 3I, ,312. 500 francs Cover COG, ,OOo).

The common council of Charleston, South Carolina, does not intend to be beaten by drummers. Drummers who do business in Charleston are charged license fee of $1O0
 But 8 provision of the law reads as follows: Dealers, commercial brokers, who keep no stock and sell only on brokerage to dealers here, each broker, or firm of brokers, $1O0. !" This provision attracted the attention of Mir. Aimer and fifteen other drummers. They organized themselves into firm under the name of M. s. Aimer & Go. and applied for 8 license. The sixteen drummers proposed to pay tax of $1OO instead of $1. 600 for selling goods in Charleston. The city treasurer re- fused to issue license to the firm when ap- plication was made for it. Why he refused does not appear. It is not clear that he had right to refuse. An extra meeting of the Charleston common council was called at once, and the license law so amended as to permit not more than two members of firm to do business under $1OO license. Some of the drummers who were in the proposed firm of sixteen are residents of Charleston

the girl went to Brooklyn to visit her mother who
works in Mr. Shay's house. She did not return to

She was not allowed to see the girl, however,
and letters purporting to come from the girl were
not i'll her handwriting AS Celia had attended the
Methodist church with the Bayliss family, Mr.
Holmes interested himself in the matter. Accord
ing TO his story, when he went to the house and
asked to see the girl the door was slammed in his
face and he was not alOwedtO see her.
Mrs Shay said yesterday that the minister had
been six times to the house to see the girl and had
acted outrageOusly, She would not let him or any
one else see Celia The girl did not want to return
to Port Jefferson, where she had been abused and
beaten. She was not detained in Brooklyn but
stayed with her mother of her free will.
Mrs. Shay added that Mr.. Holmes secured rooms in
the next house on Thursday night and
held an interview with Celia from the back window
yesterday, when she told hun she did not wish to
return to Port Jefferson. lie made other attempts
to get in the house land see her yesterday and finally
