The London Globe recently announced thai
neither the American Minister, any member
of the Legation, was present at the opening Of
Parliament. aud for the reason that orders had
!, been given that all the members Of the diplomatic
corps should appear in costume. The London
| Daily News. abiding to the subject, says

we will only point 10 the possible position in which
England may be placed in the course of the war
into which IL seems We are entering We hope,
however that cause Of i'll feeling viii not arise
between the two great Anglo Saxon nations on
subject which Is fitted to be debated only between
a couple Of Chamberlains of deinnet Pr1nciPal'ties
of the Ancient Gormanio Confederation, =.
The most oireumstantal account OF this SHY
business appears in the columns OF the Morning
Advertiser:
Mr.. Buchanan. we understand wrote two let
ters for cards of admission 10 his suite and others.
No answer was youehsafed to these save prin-
ted form stating that court dress could not be
dispensed with, and two tickets, one tor lady

Emperor of the French and the Car Of RUSSIA,
both Of whom will 'condescend' to dispense with
Court livery.
General Webb, also, was disappointed IN the
same manner. This gentleman is ex-mnster
from the United States to Austria and was, We
understand, head of the engineering department
IN the American army. The Embassy Is salh Ia

The European Tunes also speaks Of tho affair
on the part Of the British authorities as n blum

From Is2I to 1853 inclusive, the largest value
of the tobacco crop of the United States, sent a

It's curious result of the Treasury tables
that the average value per pound Of the cotton
export for the past thirty two years Is almost
identical with the current price, aud of the ave
rage export Of the staple for the last financial
year. In the meanwhile, the gross value of the
crop sent abroad has risen from $50, 49, 900 i'll
1921. to 500, 4J6. 900 in 1853. These facts we
lcnrn from the Memphis Wing:
4 suitable monument is TO be erected to the
memory of the heroic Jackson, in New Or

tary life, and as it is possible to complete
it, that is within the contract period, it will be

The silver quarter dollar now issued from
the United States Mint is unlike the emission ui

but the arrow head on each side of the date is
tanned, which was adopted at the same time with
the rays, to mark the distinction between the
present aud the previous legal standard of puri
ty.
1t may be mentioned n singular fact that
the various histories, memoirs and lives of so mo-
ted a statesmen a. Alexander Hamilton do not
give the name of his wife, Even j. G. Hamilton
of New York, in writing the life of his illustrous
fnther has omitted TO mention the name of his
own mother.
