Yankee Enterprise.

Americans are exporting coffins to London and putting them in the market at prices little more than half of those charged by Her Majesty’s undertakers. The Yankees began by sending washingmachines, apple-parers, and egg-beaters; then they .shipped window- sashes, doors, pWffefe, jmd wsrinß<M>ts; within a year they have been exporting ready-made furniture of all kinds, from the commonest kitchen chair to the most elegant drawing-room table; and now they are following the lifelees Briton even to his grave, and packing him under ground in brand-new American coffins with patented handles and reversible lids, vastly superior to the English-made article, and with prices to suit the times.
