close of the sixteenth century, to escape
the prosecutions TO which they were ex-
posed, large number Of these mer-
chants removed to Leghorn in order to
enjoy the secure asylum afforded by the
liberal enac tments of Fernando di Me-
dci. Crews were obtained from the
Neapolitan coast, principally from
Tore del Greco hence this place ct an
early period became the chief seat of
the corabfishery, and most Of the boats
engaged in it are still fitted out at that
port, although the manufacture Of coral
ornaments and beads is carried
on principally at Leghorn and
Genoa. These ornaments are met
with i'll almost every part Of the world,
and in many countries even in Europe,
coral is believed to be possessed Of
particular charm. In Asia and Africa
it is regarded with sort of religious
yeneration, while in India 1t is largely
used for the adornment Of cOrpses when
prepared for cremation. But the pre-
sent situation of the coral trade is dis
astrous. In 1880 coral bank sew
eral kilometres in length was discoy-
cred near the island Of Sciacca,
on the coast Of Sicily, and con-
scquently the yield of raw mate
rial has been far in excess Of the
demand, and the reef is still very far
from being exhausted. A great depre-
citation in value has ensued, and as A
consequence an extensive trade has
sprung up in coral with Africa. where
the natives now purchase coral Orna-
ments in place Of class beads Of Yene-
tan and German manufacture. The
raw coral comes from Naples, and is
worked at Leghorn by women into
beads, British India and Egypt being
the chief customers for them.

peace Of his mind. Boys Of the same
class, who receive the same sort OF
training. are found in their manhood
quite differently engaged from eacn
other; some Of them the most virtuons
and pious Of men. while others the per-
petrators Of the foulcst crimes. Can
you deny, readers, that the material OF
which each man is made is peculiar TO
himself, and is the product OF his own
actsf otherwise what makes one,
though poor, happy and healthy, while
the other. though wealthy, yet hlthy
and miserable?
Now that the world has advanced in
the means ofrapid communication OF the
news Of one country to the other, 1t IS
very necessary that the great nation OF
nations should be in communication
with the several oppressed and strug-
Cling nations OF the globe. The great
aim of the Almighty in creating this
eyer-increasing republic is to elevate
and lberate the subject nations
of the European monarchs. l
therefore wish that the daily
movements Of the struggling ma
tiyes of India should be laid before
the citizens Of the United States, and
that the active and noble example OF
this nation should serve as lesson to
them for their guidance. With such a
view, propose that there should be an
exchange of the leading native jour-
nails Of India conducted in the English
language with the leading journals OF
this country. The H,ndoo. of Madras
the Bengdiee and the Indian Mirror,
of Calcutta; and the NUath0, OF
Poona, would be very much obliged
to you for your kind acceptance, and
at no distant future YOU will have the
credit of sowing the seeds Of the
emancipation of 100000, 900 Of souls
of that almost Scourged and devastated
country. The whole country, from the
East Pacific to the West Atlantic coast,
know the grievances Of the llindoos'
and thus give them a chance Of study
ing the proper way and means of re-
gaining their independence.

The British Consul at Leghorn, in

were carried on exclusively by the
Spaniards, and the principal establish

I'm a Twin.


In form aud feature, face and hmp'

That folks got taking me for him,
And each for one Onother.
1t puzzled all our kith and kin,
1t reached a fearful pitch
For one Of us was born twin,
And not a soul knew which.
One day Ito make the matter worse),
Before our names were fixed,
As we were being washed by nurse,
We got completely mixed;
And thus you see by fate's decree
(Or rather nurses whim),
Ny brother John got christened me,
Aud 1 got christened him I'D.
This fatal likeness even dogged
NV footsteps when at school;
And / was always getting hogged,
For John turned out a fool.
lput this question frultlessly
To every one knew:
"wbat would you do ifyou were me,
To prove that you were you r a.
Our close resemblance turned the tide
Ofmy domestic life,
For. somehow, my intended bride
Became my brothers wife.
In fact, year after year, the same
Absurd mistakes went on,
And wheu died the neighbors camo
And buried brother John.

The paper with the largest circula-
ton in the world is the Petit Journal
of Paris. 1t now c~irculates 10000
copies per day. Its director, M. Hypo-
lite Marinoni, is the inventor of the
Morinoni perfecting presses. He was
originally a cattle herder. When he
first started there was not u perfect
ing press In France, and no newspaper
would buy one of him but he secured
the contract for printing the edition of
some of the papers at a certain price.
Among the papers he printed were the
Figaro and Petit Journal. The latter
then had q circulation daily Of 100000
papers. It ran behind its bills with
Marinoni, and to save himself from loss
he had to take hold of the paper. He
spends $780, 900 a year in advertising,
and is confident that within two years
he will sell 10000 900 copies per day.
He is allowed 100000 per year for
printing the paper. Not less than $l.20
per line is received for advertisement in
any part of the paper, and as high as
$500 per line for one insertion is charg-
ed. Once ais much as $4,000 was paid
by DeLesseps for an article on the first
page announcing the Panama Canal
loan. The paper is unsensational in the
extreme, but pays close attention to
news.
