THE COURTSHIP OF 4 CAPITALISE, How a Rich Man from the Rockies Woeed and Won a Chumbermaid, ‘rom the St. Louis Republican. A rugged looking capitalist from the wild can- Yons of the Recky mountains, named James Jones, is now the hero of a social sensation which, since yesterday morning, has pro- duced no small commotion among board- @s st the Planters’ House, where he !s stopping. He retired early Sunday night, but found himself too restless to sleep. During bis fitfui attempts to slumber the idea worked itself into his brain that it would be an- wise for him to return to the gulches of the Rockies without a wife. The idea troubled him to such an extent that he arose yesterday morn- ing at five o'clock and started out in search of ahelpmate. Among the first persons he met, after leaving his room it that early hour, was a ehambermaid, whogoes by the name of ‘Dutch Mary.” In an off-hand, business-like way, pe- euliar to men who hail from the mining distrjcts Of the far west, he told the chambermaid that he or & better half and asked her if ashe wouldn't become his bride. replied Mary. “I don't want to ything to do with you. I don't know you. How do you expect me to know you? Of course, I won't marry you” After saying this Mars turned on her heel and went about her k heart in the thou; pleaty ofas pretty chambermaids eirculating around as ever were caught. He accordingly continued his persistent search un- til he ran across “French Florence.” To Flor- ence he proposed bluntly, and she bluntly re- fused, saying that “she wouldn't do anything of the kind if she knew herself—and she thought she did.” By this time the mountaineer began to feel blue, as there were no other chambermaids in sight. However. after a moment's reflection he coneluded to “tackle” Dutch Mary again. He went buck to her and duplicated his appeal, when she relented and said: “Why, yes, my dear, of course I will marry you to-morrow.” ‘This answer made the ardent lover's heart leap with joy, and was the canse of his returning to the hotel after a short tour about the city, with any amount of stuff, which he laid at the feet of his intended as ‘prevents. During his tour about the city he purchased her a 2175 silk $22 parasol, a gold watch and chain, ant gold rings, heavier than those inz, In grand style, takes place at the Ptanter’s to-day. Jones is about forty years of age and the bride twenty-one. = wen eenes Pe BOSS DOGS OF AMERICA. es Plantagenet, Worth $1,500, and his Swell Fellows of a Delaware Kennel. From the Wilmington News. Itis not -generally known that there is in Wilmington at this time the finest kennel of English setter dogs owned in the United States. There are thirty in the kennel. Plantagenet is Dy all odds the finest dog in the pack andis gen- erally conceded to be the chaimpion living dog. He is two years old, sired by Dashing Monarch and out ot Petrel. He took first prize in the | open class at the dog show in Pittsburg last month aud will compete in the big shows in New York, April 18, 19,20 and 21, and in Bos- ton early in May, appearing in both in the cham- | pion class. The only dog that can seriously compete with Plantagenet is Thander, owned by Mr. Moore, of Philadelphia. Thunder is out of Fairy, a pure Laverack setter, now owned by Mr. Goodsell. Plantagenet is of Llewellyn stock, which is but an outeross of Laverack. For Plantagenet $1,500 has been offered and re- fused. Money will not buy him. Another splendid specimen of the canine race found in Mr. Martin’s kennel is Fairy, one of the last, ifnot the last surviving dog of Mr. Laver- ack’s own breeding in America. Among the other notables in the kennel are Petrel, bred by Mr. Liewellyn, though of pure Laverack stock ; Petrel IL, by Pride of the Border, and Petrel Til, by Carlowitz, who in his old age is also owned by Mr. Goodsell. Old Petrel took the championship prize at Birmingham dog show and was awarded the same honor in the show @t Philadelphia in 1378. Petrel IL took first prize at the great show in New York last year and Petrel IIL. got second prize in the recent ow. —<——$—— + ur Foreign Commerce, ‘From the New York Sun. The debate on the tariff commission bill in the House zives a fresh interest to the facts regard- Ing the foreign commerce of the United States which are presented in the ‘last report of the Bureau of Statistics. ‘The first point to note is that our exports of » merchandise to nearly all the great trading coun- tries have of late years largely exceeded in value the imports which we take from them. ‘This is true of Great Britain and Ireland, of France, of Germany, of Russia, of Belgium, of Netherlands, of Spain, and of Denmark. Ina few countries there is nearly a balance; while pares brie the British and Dutch East Indies, ina, Japan. aad some Spanish colonial posses- sions habitually send us a much greater value of merchandise than we export to them. But taking the whole trade together the value of our merchandise exports for the last half dozen = in excess of the imports, has been $1.180,- 105; and during the last fiscal year alone this excess of exports was no less tian $259,712, 718. In the next place, the value of the imports of merchandise entered for consumption in the United States during the last fiscal year was $650,618,909 63. The cutiable pari of this was valued at $445.061,587.95, while the remainder, or free portion, amounted to $202,557,411.68. An average of about 4314 per cent on the for- mer sum was levied as duties, the actual amount collected being $193.300,879.67. Of this sum $136,211,127.38, or more than 70 per cent, ‘Was collected at the port of New York. Again, the sum of $133.580.347.88, or more than 69 per cent. was collected from six classes of merchandise. These were: Sugar and molasses, ing $47,984.082 84; wool and its manufac- Pires: $27,285,624.78: jron and steel and their manofactures, $21 ,4t3,534.34; silk manufactarea, $19,053.665.81; cotton manufactures. $10,! - 115.21; flax and its manufactures, $6,984,374.90. The duties on these classes vary from 24.79 per gent, in the case of sugar and molasses, downto 3.60 per cent, in the case of flax and its manu- factures. Turning once more to our aggregate importa, both dutiabie and free, we fiud that the value ofthe sugar and molasses was $93,404,283, or much over 14 per cent of the total importa; that coffee amounted to $56,784,391, or nearly 9 per cent; iron and steel and their manufactures to $46,439,747, being over 7 per cent; silk and its manufactures to $42,944,965, wool and its manu- factures to $40,860,394; di dyes and chem- icals, and medicines in general, to $36,590.473. Thas these six classes of imports aggregate $317,024.258, or nearly half of the total value of the fiscai year's imports. The seventh highest class is that of cotton and its manufactures, whose value was $31,976,637. It should be noted, however, that while our excess of merchandise exports for the fiscal Year ending June 30, 188i, to those countries which took from us more than they seat in re- turn was $441,675.687, and while the contrary excess of our merchandise Imports from those countries which sold us more than they bought ‘Was $151,962.969, thus leaving the vast balance, already spoken of, in our favor, on this item, of $259,712.71, yet the curreat movement of trade isshowing different results.
