with a gocers clerk whom I once
knew In the west.
This young man had very I'M

When the Steamxhip PAIiadelphia
arrived here yesterday she brought
among the other things In her cargo
consignment OF elephant tusks, or
teeth, as they are called In the ships
manifest
There are about 500 tusks In the
consignment, and In weight they run
from about sevcnty-nve pounds to the
weight of an ordinary man. Few Of
them are less than yard in length,
and one is fully eight feet long. having
evidently been the property at some
time Of m elephant that would rival
the famed Jumbo In size.
According to those handling the big
lot of ivory on the ship the tusks are
valued at about IS a pound, and IS
there are about sixteen tons in the lot
they must be worth close to $4,000,
or an average of $500 each.
The firm to which the tusks are con-
signed Is engaged In the manufacture
OF piano keys, and only the best grade
and widest OF ivory can be used for
this purpose The work of transport
Ing the tusks from the ship TO the
Cambridge factory was begun this af-
ternoon. Az may be supposed such
consignment of ivory are not infre-
quent at this port but the present
shipment is an unusually large and
fne one. They will be cut up into
slivers and then cut into sizes for the
tops Of the Piano keys before being
