ne average annual crop of Brazil seldom exceeds
5VOOO0OO pounds, the large bulk of which is sent to
England. In reference to the cultivation of this arl
Gle in Brazil the State Department Report, already
referred to, says: AS regards the cultivation ofcot.
ton, il is we'll known that severa nsuperable draw
backs to lis extension exist in Brazil Among these
may be named the ravages Of insects, the pecui ri.
ties of the climate, and the expense and difficulties
attendant upon its transportation from the interior to
the coast. Many years ago it ascertained in
Brazil that the cotton plant will not flourish near to
the sea, and the plantations have, in consequence re-
coded further inland, well to avoid this difficulty
as 10 seek and fresher lands"
TIE principal exports from Great Britain to Brazil
are cotton manufactures. In 1850 these amounted in
value to Sl2,724l85 4; in 1858 to $l5,932 O65; and
in 1855 to SIC 5G3 $40.
The preceding statistics show a gradual decline in
the quantities OF raw cotton imported into Great
britain from Brazil, amounting in 1855, compared
with $780, 10 upwards of 5000 900 pounds, or %
per cent. on the the total quantity. The exports
from Great Britain to Brazil consist chiefly of cotton
goods, in which the American manufacturer has
within the past few years, proved quite a formidable
competitor; so much so hat the only obstacle in the
way of complete success is the advantage which the
looms of Manchester have over those of the United
States in the manufacture of cheap cottons. We are
the largest purchaser in the world of Brazilian pro-
duce, and there is no good reason why we should not
also be the largest seller in the markets of that en-
pire.

cording to the Savannah Journal, sixteen
maids of Charleston petitioned in this wise for
husbands, in the year 1913
"To hrs Ercekiency Cor. johnson:
1.-The humble petition Of all the maids whose
names are underwritten:
o." Whereas we, the humble petitioners, are
at present in very melancholy disposition Of
mind, considering how all the bachelors are
blindly csptivated by widows, and our youth
full charms thereby neglected; the conseq uence
OF this our request Is that your Excellency
will, tor the future, order that no widow shall
for the future presume to marry any young
man till the maids are pr0vsded for; or else
pay each of them a fine for satisfaction for
invading our liberties and likewise fine TO
be laid on all such bachelors as shall be mar
ried to widows. The great disadvantage il is
TO us maids lie, that the widows, by their For
ward carriages, do snap Up the young men,
and have the vanity to think their merits beS
yOnd ours. which is n great imposition on US
who ought to have the preference.
This is humbly recommended to your tx'
cellency' consideration, and hope you VIII
prevent any further insults
"And we poor maids, as in duty bound, will
ever pray
"P. s. being the oldest maid, and thereby
most concerned, do think it proper to be the
messenger to your Excellency IN behalf Of my
