VALUE GIVEN TO COTTON IN ITS TRASsFoRMA-
TIoSs.-The enormous value given to cotton in
its various transformations is shown in the
article of lace, Of which there is at the London
exhibition, doubtless, a richer display than the
world ever saw together before. India, France,
Belgium, and England are vieing for supremacy
in this manufacture manufacturer of Man
chester furnished samples of one pound of cot
ton spun into 900 hanks, of $40 yards each
making distance in all of 430 miles, should
the single thread be extended to its utmost
Another firm exhibited 1900 hanks, of the same
number of yards each, from single pound Of
cotton. The first then exhibited one pound of
cotton spun into thread 1000 miles long,
which shows the perfection to which cotton
machinery has arrived. Brussels lace, all made
from cotton, is exhibited, worth GOO sterling
Isl ,000) per yard. A lace shawl, made in
France for the duchess Of Sutherland, is exhib-
tied, the cost of which is g1 900 sterling. A
bridal dress is shown, for which the owner
wants $4,000. The girl who wrought at it the
first three years became blind from the heavy
task it put upon her eyes. Just think of simple
handiwork enhancing the value of a shilling $
worth of cotton to $40, ,0o0!-PhH. Ledger.

THAcKERAY AND DICKENS. The North British
Repseac the ablest, in many respects, Of the
English periodicals, contains in its last number
an admirable criticism on the two most popular
noyelists of the day, Thackeray and Dickens
1t pronounces the scope of the latter to be wider
than that of the former; but seems to consider
Thackeray more perfect so far AS his walk ex-
tends. 1t describes Dickens as the more ''ge-
niab cheerful, kindly, and sentimental J" Thack-
cray the more "harsh, acrid, pungent, and
satirical." The former is declared to be more
ditfuse in style, the latter more condensed
Dickens is regarded as a man of genius, Thack-
cray as one of talent only, but talent cultivated
to the highest pitch. The former plainly be-
trays that he was educated among the people,
the latter clearly exhibits the polish and cor
rectness Of the university. Dickens paints ideal,
Thackeray real characters. The individuals
who figure in the formers novels are not cx-
actly such persons as we have seen, but such
as we might see under the circumstances ina
gined by the writer; the actors in the latters
tictions are every day people, such as London
life continually presents. Dickens is a writer
for all climates where the English tongue is
spoken; Thackeray is a cockney, though not in
bad sense, and appreciated best in the atmo-
sphere of the great English metropolis.
This is o fair estimate, we think, of these two
popular writer's. We refer to the subject, how
ever, for other purposes than criticism. The
career of Thackeray Illustrates the great fact
that talent and industry, in the long run, are
certain to be rewarded and that it does not
require genius alone to ensure success Dickens
rose, almost at once, to reputation. He awoke
one morning, as Byron said of himself, and
found himself famous. This was the fruit of
genius. Not SO, Thackeray. For years he toiled
on, in the subordinate departments of letters,
comparatively unknown We can ourselves re-
call the day when he had not been heard of in
this country, except by few who detected
amid the masquerade, of the "Yellow-plush
Correspondence" the great powers of the writer.
Atlast, however, he emerged from this obscu-
rity. After long practice on smaller works, he
undertook Vanity Fair" and at once divided
the popular applause with Dickens. His "Pen-
dennis followed, and confirmed his fame. At
this day the once needy Thackeray is perhaps
the best paid author in England; and that
through the sheer force Of talent, industry, and
native common sense.
AS long as people will read novels so long it
is worth while to know something of novelists
and Thackeray and Dickens will, even in COM
ing generations, stand foremost as the two great
noyelists of this generation. Phil Bulletin.
