From the Four Winds.

A wholesale dry goods merchant of New York recently gave a supper to twenty of his friends engaged in the dry goods business in the city. As one of the guests happened to speak of the State in which he was born, the host made inquiry into the nativity of the others, and it turned out that the twenty men were born in twenty different States of the Union. Five were natives of New England States, four of Southern States, seven of States running from New Jersey to.the Mississippi, two of States beyond the Rocky Mountains, one of Nebraska, and one of New York. The host of the occasion was a Harlemite by birth.—New York Sun.
