Where Buttons are Plenty.

Buttons abound in paper mills of all sorts, sizes and shapes. - They come on the rags that are collected by dealers, and must be cut off before they go to to the rag engines. A large force of girls do this worK, and the result is a great accumulation of buttons. Almost every family that has a member working in tie rag room of a paper mill can supply buttons by the quart at short notice. There is a yellow fever case at New Orleans, imported from Havana.
