OUR IMPORTS.

Through the kindness of the Collec-
tor General of Customs we are able
to state that the imports Into
this Kingdom for the month Of
May amount in value to something
over $3.50, 900. 1t is not possible to give
the exact figures at present, as some
of the goods imported are on what
are called "open entries" in which
the actual value of the goods is not
stated, but which is finally deter
mined by comparison with invoices
and bills of lading.
The above sum is sufficiently accu-
rate, however, to show that the value
of goods imported during May was
somewhat greater than Of those re-
ceived in April, during which month
the amount footed up a little more
than $Is4,O00.
OF the goods received in May,
1882, $50 worth were entered free by
treaty SO, 4ss worth were bonded,
and the balance, something over
$3s, 900 worth, were duty paying. It
will thus be seen that the value of
free goods, 1. G those imported from
and manufactured in the United
States, are about ten times tie value
of the dutiable goods. This is the
natural consequence of the operations
OF the treaty of reciprocity between
the Ha allan Islands and the United
States, and goes far to disprove the
statements that have been made in
regard to the one-sidedness of the
treaty.
The fact that our imports for the
month of May show an increase of
about $4,000 over those of April,
proves US to have been correct in the
statement made early in May,
to the effect that stocks of saleable
merchandise (at that time) were low,
and there must soon be considerable
importatiOns to keep available lines
up to the demand.
The demand has been greater since
then, and our importers have quickly
felt the improved tone of the market,
and met it promptly.

An Order That Failed to Work,

The female part of the audience at
the German theatre at Prague was the

London Pail Mall Gazette, by an ukase
issued by the manager of the theatre
ordering all ladies to doff their head
gear during the performance. A good

which obstructed the view Of half the
audience, gladly accepted the excuse
for that performance only on the con-
dition that the ladies would in future
appear bareheaded. His delight, how
ever, was considerably modified when
on the next night the ladies, who must
have had a full share of the perversity
of their sex, appeared one and all with
luxurious growth of hair towering
higher than the discarded hats. The
theatre manager is now in despair.
Not even he dare dream Of abolishing

Hired Out China.

A Washington crockery dealer said
to a Star reporter: There is hardly a
reception given in Washington where
there is not hired china on the table.
It's cheaper to hire than to own. Some
people put away their light fancy
china on such occasions, because it is
too expensive to have broken and is
hard to replace. Others don't have it.
What we hire is nice china, but it is
plain white. We seldom hire any
other kind, and when we do it is never
the same set twice. Now, you go to
AS tonight; you see a set of china
with peculiar Japanese figures on it.
You go to BIS next evening; more
Japanese figures. Again, C's choco-
late is served in Japanese. All the
rage! All! japanese figures are just
the thing in china now. You mention
it to Mrs. Beenthere. She draws up
to one side, puts her fingers to her lips
in sly fashion, and whispers close to
your ear: ."Hiredr' Now, you see,
that won't do; if they are all alike
they must be white-plain white.

Tyrian Purple.

In communication by NJ. Berthelot
to French scientific journal on the
magnificent purple of Tyre, so highly
priced by the ancients, it is said that
according to tradition the color was
discovered by accident. A shepherds
dog found shell-lish on the sea shore.
In crushing the shell he cut his
mouth, and the blood, mingling with
the juice of the mollusk, gave the
splendid purple, which was subse-
quently applied to the dyeing of stuffs.
No other color has been held in such
high esteem. The King of Phenicia
was so charmed with its beauty that
he forbade his subjects to use it, re-
serving it for kings and heirs presump-
tive to the crown. Moses adopted it
for ecclesiastical purposes, the vest
ments of the high priests and the
ornaments of the tabernacle. At that
early period the art of dyeing must
have attained great degree of perfec-
tion. Among the Romans the right to
wear the purple belonged only to great
conquerors: afterwards it was assumed
by emperors. In more modern times
the purple robe has been reserved for
the highest dignitaries of the church,
whence the expression "Roman pur-
ple," to express the dignity of "Cardi-
nal" NJ. Lacaze-Duthieres, of the
French Institute, regards the ancient
legend as probably true history, at
least so far as this: that the bleeding
mouth of the dog led to the discovery
of the shell-fish from which the an
clients extracted their color. For a
long time much uncertainty existed as
tothespecies ofmollusk SO employed, and
many regarded the secret as lost. But
shell fish possessing all thu characteris-
tics by which the ancients designated
the animal have been found on the sea-
coasts of England and France, and if
they are not now made to serve the
purpose it is because means haze been
found to produce the color from cochi-
neal at less scost.-Cultiuator.

Panic Stricken Troops Mt Shiloh.

From General Grants account of the
battle of Shiloh in the Century we
quote the following: "The nature of
this battle was such that cavalry
could not be used in front; Therefore
formed ours into line, in rear, to stop
stragglers, of whom there were many.
When there would be enough to make
a show, and after they had recovered
from their fright, they would be sent
to reinforce some part of the line
which needed support, without regard
to their companies, regiments or
brigades.
"On one occasion during the day, /
rode back as far as the river and met
General Buell., who had just arrived; |
do not remember the hour of the day,
but at that time there probably were
as many as four or five thousand
stragglers lying under cover of the
river bluff, panic stricken, most OF
whom would have been shot where
they lay, without resistance, before
they would have taken muskets and
marched to the front to protect them
selves. The meeting between General
Buell. and myself was on the dispatch
boat used to run between the landing
and Savannah. 1t was but brief, and
related specially to his getting his
troops ever the river. AS we left the
boat together, Buelps attention was
attracted by the men lying under cover
of the river bank. Isaw him berating
them and trying to shame them
into joining their regiments. He even
threatened them with shells from the
gunboats near by. But it was all to no
effect. Most of these men afterward
proved themselves as gallant as any Of
those who saved the battle from which
they had deserted. Ihave no doubt that
this sight impressed General Buell. with
the idea that line of retreat would
be good thing just then. If he had
come in by the front instead of through
the stragglers in the rear, he would
have thought and felt differently.
Could he have come through the
Confederate rear, he would have
witnessed uher0a scene similar to that
at our own. The distant rear of an
army engaged in battle is not the best
place from which to judge correctly
what is going en- in front. In fact
later in the war. while occupying the
country between the Tennessee and
the Mississippi, learned that the panic
! in the Confederate lines had not differ
ed much from that within our own
Some of the country people estimated
the stragglers from Johnston's army
as high as 10000. OF course, this was
an exaggeration."

met all her advances with such evident
pleasure in his welcome that her heart
beat high with hope. Life had been
struggle for a rich husband ever since
she had made her debut in society, and
now there was one paying her deferen-
tial attention upon whose heart she
had at once made deep impression.
Would he forget that cruel parting in
terview, and lay his fortune once more
at her feet?
Mr.. Cooke, young man about half
witted, possessed of 100000, watched
the brilliant beauty who had smiled so
sweetly upon him all winter with
jealous eyes altar Morris entered the
room, but Meta forgot him in her new
born hope. All the evening Morris
hovered about Meta, wondering where
Clarice had hidden herself; but when
the supper call thinned the rooms Meta
missed her cavalier. In the conserva-
tory Morris had seen vision of
golden head and white, fluttering
dress; and Clarice, half hidden by a
Towering screen, saw him desert Meta
to come beside her.
Longing to see him, in an agony of
maidenly shame at the secret she had
revealed when they parted, she hid
there to watch him unseen. But he
came swiftly across the flower-bor-
dered path to her side, and taking her
hand in his, said:
"Clarice, 1 have come all the way
from California to try to win your
love- Little one, with all my heart I
love you. My sole hope of happiness
is the hope that you will be my wife.
Must l go back again desolate, or will
you bid me stay?'
She looked into the earnest face, the
pleading eyes, and her heart grew faint
with its own happiness as she whis-
pered:
"stay, for love you, Morris"
Meta saw the sister she had always
despised for her timidity, and the lover
she had thrown aside in his poverty,
enter the drawing-room together, and
her heart was full Of jealous anger as
she read their secret in their happy
faces.
She has been Mrs. Cooke for three
years-the miserable wife of jealous
miser, whose sole aims in life are to
save money and to keep his wife out
of society. In their unhappy. home
there is constant quarreling, while
Morris blesses every hour the tempo
rary poverty that led him to appreciate
the heart of his little wife, and won
for him knowledge of the treasure
of her love. There is a toddling boy
named John, who calls Morris "papa,"
and in the peaceful happiness of her
home life and mother love Clarice is
rapidly conquering her old timidity
and letting the world of society see
sometimes what an accomplished
graceful lady Morris has won for his
wife.
And Morris, holding her to his heart
will often say, tenderly:
"The happiness of my life COM

Sympathy greeted me at the time
