WASHINGTON. June 9.-The growing
disposition OF our exporters TO distri.

formerly passed through that great
city is illustrated by study OF the
bureau Of statistics figures showing the

! During that year. and the months
which have followed. New Orleans has
taken second rank as an exporting
port and has displaced Boston I'm its
position as the second exporting city

The very heavy expectation OF
cotton and high price at which il is
exported has largely increased the
value OF the exports through Southern
ports, while IL is not improbable that
the Galveston disaster may have re-
suited in temporarily diverting to New
Orleans some OF the business which
otherwise would have gone through
Galveston.
The exports from New Orleans In
the fiscal year 1900 were $l15.SjS.764.

port. except 1897. and an increase Of
SOS. 600 over the fiscal year 1899

If there be a dogs heaven, and who shall say there is not? the brave, honest, affecticnate little fellow is there, for i.e was just as good as it is possible for a Erute to be; while you are-Still On earth. Repent. sir, for as sure as the God who created men and dogs is righteous, shall He hold you responsible for such an unwarranted, cruel, evil deed. | say this without any idea of vense ance, for I have nothing but pity for such as you. No more shall he accompany Ine in my rambles, nor, when left at home, run to meet me with an e2Stacy of delight on my return! Yet much as I shall miss my little friend, { nd he did comfort me in my loneliness. would rather be the subJec of his loss. with the last lick of his dying tongue on my hand, and the glance of his dy- ing, but loving eye, in my memocY. than you, with the consciousness of your bad. back deed in your heart.
