There are from 10,000 to 12,000 per sons actually employed in the town of Torre del Greco in the manufacture of coral. Only a portion of these are seen in the factories, for the engravers and those who mount the oraments. work mostly at their houses. The number employed by Signor Gagliardi is 200, outside the factory, and 80 within. In the branch factory that he has estab lished at Bosiotrecase, near the once buried city of Pompeii, there is about tbe same number of persons at work. One-third of these are children ranging from twelve years upward. The rate at which these people are paid, though small in comparison, to the sums given in the United States, is not so low as might be expected, when the number of unemployed persors and theco3t of liv ing among the lower class of Italians is considered. The engravers are, of course, paid aecording to their ability. The captain ot a coral ooat win receive for his season's work tbe sum of 500f. An ordinary workman, one whose busi ness it is to file the beads, and who does his work satisfactorily, will make about a dollar a day, while the women and children earn from 60 cents to $2 a week. Each operative has by his or her side, a small earthern vessel, in which the beads are thrown as soon as the special operation for which they are employed is performed. When a certain number are ready, the beads are taken to the desk and the operative is paid accordingly. The sum paid for drilling 1,000 beads is about 5 cents, and the number per day tnat can he drilled by one girl with the awkward instruments they use is about 5,000. The grinding is paid at the same rate, but the filing, being a more difficult op eration, brings the operative a larger return for his labor. The amount of coral sent from Torre del Greco to dif ferent parts of the world varies great ly. In certain countries there is an ex cellent market for it, while in others it is appreciated only to a small extent. France, for instance, takes a yery small proportion, the finest and most expen sive coral ornaments Deing sent to Germanv. England and America. The Chinese have Dut very little fancy for coral, while in India and Africa it is a favorite ornament, and worn in profu sion by wdmen of all classes. The cor al trade between Torre del Greco and the East Indies amounts to some $1, 400,000 per year. The largest manufac turer and exporter is Signor Giuseppe Massa, who sends out forty-four boats and employs about a thousand persons. After him come several houses, the heads of which are Signori Perrara, Sautoponte. Asbione and our kind en tertainder. Signor Gagliardi. The great mass of coral is sold by weight, the scale of prices being fixed according to the size and color ot tne Deaas. rne coral market is subject to very little fluctuation. 1'ieces or special size and beauty command very high prices. There is now exposed in one of the larger coral shops of Naples a ball of coral about the size of a hen's egg, and or a Deautirui- rose-coior, ior wmcn m sum of $?Q0 is demanded. Among the more expensive ornaments, tne one ness and delicacy of the arrangement influence greatly the price. Nearly all the coral engravers live in Naples, where the carving and mounting of coral ornaments form almost a distinct branch of business. Corn and Pork We nroduced 1.537,000 bushels of In dian corn in the United States last year. In the four years, ending with 1880, our total product of this king of cereals was 5,020,000,000 bushels. The bare produc tion of this corn requires a wen-cuiti-vated area of 60,000,000 acres ; which means not less than 2,000,000 farms, and gives employment in agriculture alone to5,000,000 workmen, representing a population of not less than 25,000,000. The chief uses of this article are for bread, feed and the manufacture of whiskey. We export in the grain con dition about 90,000,000 bushels, and there is about as much converted into spirits. We export, of corn converted I into pork, lard, beef, mutton and dairy Products, not less than the value of 320.000.000 a year, representing say 600,000,000 bushels of corn. This ac counts tor just aoout one-nan tne an nual crop. The other half is consumed bv the producers, rne annual hog crop. converted into pork, lard, hams, haoon, I eta, for export and for consumption in the urban and manufacturing districts of the United States, may be moderate ! ly stated at about -1,235,000 tons, or 1 2,470000,000 pounds. This is the smaller part of the total production.

The arrivals for May are now estimated at 70,000, and for the year at 750,000. Since December -1st, 1880, over $60, 000,000 of British capital has been ad vanced for the promotion of American railroad enterprises. SiTlOKIXG CIGARETTES. Likewise Some Other Substances That Are Not so Palatable. Philadelphia Times. There are few current delusions that have become so firmly fixed as the trade trick which claims that the only original cigarette, warranted not to kill or ruin the larynx, is the one wrap ped in rice paper. During the last ten years cigarette smoking has grown apace in this country. At the begin ning of the war the cigarette was the mark of a foreigner, the Spaniard espe cially. All the continental nations, however, do most of their smoking in this way. The ready-made cigarette is only a comparatively late invention. It was created in deference to the im patient spirit of the American, who cannot give the time or possibly ac quire the skill necessary to roll a cigar ette. The address with which this job is done abroad elicits admiration. So great an adept was Napoleon III. in the making of this small solace that with one hand, the left, he could arrange the tobacco and roll the paper into a con dition fit to smoke. This, however, is a by no means rare accomplishment in France, Spain or Italy. It was the American who invented the patent cigarettes, not so much to save the con sumer the trouble of making the arti cle as to get a good chance to adulterate them. There is cigarette made in America that any man boy or woman would smoke if the making and mix ture of them could be seen. Every brand makes a loud boast of using rice paper, whereas any one who takes the trouble to examine the rice plant will see at a glance that there is no fibrous consistence in it to make paper of the sort used in cigarettes, Prodigious for tunes nave cteen made and are matting, and millions of people are slowly ruin ing their digestive organs by inhaling the foul stuff wrapped up in the various brands that claim to be pure. .Let any smoker of cigarettes subject his tongue and throat to a medical examination after smoking a package of cigarettes. vitroi itself leaves no more sinister impression on tongue, throat and palate. If the cigarette were made of pure tobacco and fairly good paper it would be no more harmful than . a cigar, which the world has come to agree substantially is not harmful at all. Bui the greed of the trade enters this, like all other enterprises that spring up to supply sudden demand. A package or twenty cigarettes, which may represent an outlay of from three tb five cents, the manufacturer exacts twelve to sixteen cents for. There is rarely in a package of twenty as much genuine tobacco as a smoker consumes in one honest ninef ul. It mav be safelv said that, with perhaps one or two ex ceptions, every cigarette made is a souroe of violent physical reaction, de structive ot vital tissues and tne active principle of lurking and insidious dis eases, and that it is better to smoke a pound of - tobacco in any other form than the pinch mingled with poison that makes ud the ridicuiousiv exDen sive and utterly worthless article of cigarette that holds the market, ..jjh ka taw Wb la Mrs. wiaslov I As fhis Question is frequently asked, we will sim ply say that she is a lady who for upwards of for ty years, has untiringly devoted her time 1 ents as a Female Physician and nurse, prii among children, she has especially scudl constitution and wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this' effort, and practical knowl edge, obtained in a lifetime spent as nurse and physician, she has compounded a Soothing Syrup, for children teething.
