From the \. Y. Tribune, 2sth.
Said wellknown manufacturer yesterday to
Tribune reporter: 'The consumption of
chocolate in the United States has had Won
derfnl growth. In 1873 we manufactured into
chocolate goods 24 900 bags of raw cocoa; last
year we used "a 900 bags, an increase of 80 900
bags in five ears. The next five years will see a
stlll greater rate of increase. When Humboldt
discovered the of the cocoa plant I'm his tray-
els he little dreamed of the immense business
that was to grow out of the connection OF his
nrst cup OF chocolate. 1t is to-day fairly in the
way OF becoming one of the principal articles of

which heads the list, and ii is used in ali
branches of cookery, pastry, and creams and
Ior baking purposes generally. Fifteen years ago
went on the road to sell in O small way choc-
olate goods or my own manufacture, and was
laughed at Tor my pains. At that time the con-
sumption was limited in this country to the
few large cities in which the foreign element
predominated. The article was elsewhere COM
paratively unknown.
THE taste for chocolate is an acquired one
ana the publlc had to be educated to the love
Tor IT, and like tobacco and beer it is at first dis
tastelui ana even nauseatlng, but also like
them when once the taste is formed it is not
easily surfeited. 1t probably tires the taste
less than any other confection, and this
accounts for its presence in nearly all the candy
That Is sold to-day. Chocolate is one of the
most heaithful foods known, and in its pure
state may be used to unlimited extent
without harmful effects. In Europe 1t has
taken nearly half a century of unremitting
labor on the part OF manufacturers to fairly
establish the public taste for chocolate but
Americans take to ii rapidly, and in fifteen
years have learned to love it and look upon il
almost as necessary OF life. The varieties of
chocolate preparations are almost legion, for it

THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT.
To the Editor of Tar EvEsIse STAR

TO the Editor Of TIE EVENING STAR:
am extremely gratified to see some Of our
live and sympathetic merchants endeavoring
to organize the movement to set apart one day
in S65 as a general holiday, and sincerely
hope that every employer will subscribe his
name to the movement and observe it sacredly.
But this is not my only object in writing to THE
STAR. I wish to propose to the merchants and
business men to close their respective places of
business on Saturday next, July 4, at an early
hour In the afternoon, to allow their employees
little recreation; and earnestly invoke the
purchasing public to buy early in the day all
that they may need for the following day-the
Sabbath. The American people have fewer
holidays than any country on the globe, and q
little holiday now and then is relished by the
most penurious of men. Every person would
like to spend the evening at home to disport
the Pyrotechnics for his little ones or his friends
Close early, as will MERCHANT.

THE fourth of July Is a legal holiday in the

concussion Of the spinal column. she was not
a robust girl, being exceedingly nervous,
although quiet and sensible. Her sickness

was partial paralysis ofthe lower extremities.
She also had that drawing Of the muscles OF the
