ENGLAYDs IDEA OF King CoTToY.-The guam
tity of cotton wool brought into England every
year might be piled into a pyramid which would
rival that of Cheops. The eight thousand FIVE
hundred and seventy-two millions of yarn spun
in England in year, might be wound round
and round the earth, as boy winds string
round his top or, we might throw the shuttle
over distant Uranus, and tangle the cred
planet Mars" the Earth, Venus, Mercury, and
the Sun IN our net cotton. The whole of the
British islands might be wrapped up in cotton
wool, and put BY carefully for the inspection of
future ages, in not very many years consump-
ton of that raw material.
Ninety years ago, at the commencement of
our manufacturing career, the population of
Britain was about eight millions. If it were not
tor cotton, we could not keep our millions in
England, clustering in masses round the manu-
featuring towns. Ifit were not for cotton, we
could not clothe them; and if it were not for
cotton, We could certainly not feed them.

CLUB HOUSE GIN.
TO THE PUBLIC.

TIN S CELEBRATED GIN-pretending to
4 nothing but what it is, viz; pure and I'M
aduterated article, and assuming no artificial
merits of what it is not, as some of its rival imi-
tators do-after five years Of public approval
and very extensive sales in California, has been
pronounced by the public to be SUPERIOR not on
y as beverage of general use, to any other ar
ticle competing against it, but is

in most cases of complaint. To persons travel
ing in these days of rapid transit from East to
West, North to South, who are constantly chang
ing their water as well as their climate: who are
drinking, indeed, dozen kinds of water in ev-
cry twenty-four hours, and each draft contain
ing some property acting in chemical antagonism
to the preceding one, thereby causing an unnat-
ural degree of excitement to the stomach-it is
positively and absolutely necessary to use a
counteractng agent. From the fact that the
"London Club House Gin.
Is prepared expressly to meet such exigencies
and to act as we know it will act as an anti
dote, we confidently prescribe it as the very best
article In the country. The name of Aromatic
Scheidam Schnapps' has never been attached
IN any way to this article. In first presenting
the
'LOndOn Club House Gjno
to the public, my aim was to give them a pure
and unadulterated article of Gin, and to call it
by its right name. The success attending its
introduction and extensive sale in California is
sufficient guarantee of the high appreciation
of the article by consumers.
Various parties have from time to time put up
and shipped to California an article which they
call "Club House Gin" My Gin, which has
gained such reputation in California, is brand
ed on the cases,
"Old London Club House Gin--wm.H.D."

smile of my signature. ! caution all parties to

Girls in Italy.

twenty minutes at a time, out of my sight" said
an Italian countess, boastfuly and by this de-
claration she appeared to think that she merited
to take rank in the worlds esteem with the mo-
ther of the Gracchi. A girl belonging to the
upper ranks of life in Italy is practically prs-
oner until she marries. Into society she must
not enter; neither in the morning tete, or in the
evening dance, is she permitted TO display her
charms and graces. An occasional walk with
her father, or brother, or mother, is permitted :;
but she must not go outside the house unless ac-
companied by her nearest kindred To be seen
alone, even but few yards from her fathers
door, would entail upon her the deepest dis
grace and heaviest censure. Kept under per-
petual surveillance, every line she writes and
every line she receives are subjected to rigid
scrutiny The girl belonging to the humber
classes of society shares also, in great degree,
In the same restrictions on her liberty The
grown-up daughter of a woman keeping lodg-
ing house in Florence could not profit by my
offer to take her to see the ceremony of the La

was unable to procure proper escort to accom-
pany her in ten minutes walk through the
best part of the town, to the place where | re-

occasion. In the country the same rule pre-
walls; no peasant girl is to be seen alone and
equally in the higher as in the lower classes of
society would any infringement of social code
in this respect, be fatal to matrimonial expecta-
tions. Under these circumstances, the proceed
ings of unmarried American and English ladies
excite the wonder and envy of their sex in Italy.

An EXQUISITE REToRT.-It is related Of Bun
van, that, in the height of his usefulness as a
preacher in ard about London, the the bishop
of the metropolis had curiosity to see him.
The coachman of the bishop was frequent
hearer of Bunyan, and the bishop had told him
that, whenever in riding ont Of town, he should
chance to meet Mr.. Bunyan he wished to see
and speak with him. One day, as John was
driving his lordship in portion Of the suburbs,
sufficiently retired for the bishop to crafty his
curiosity, Bunyan was seen plodding his way on
foot, with his bundle under his arm, going out
to preach somewhere in the outskirts.
Your grace" said John, here comes Mr..
Bunyan."
"Ah !" said the bishop; "hold up the horses
when you oyertakc him. and let me speak to
him"
They were soon at his side, the horses were
checked, and the bishop bowed, saying
''Mr. Bunyan, believer"
=" Yes, your grace" said Bunyan, courteOusly
..yi.ding.
Mr.. Bunyan," said the bishop, I" I am told
that you are very ingenious rs an interpreter
of the Scriptures and l have difficult pass
age in my mind, about which the critics in
dispute, and Of which would be glad to have
yonr view tits in st Paurs message to Timo-
thy: The cloak that left at Troas with Car
pus, when thou comest, bring with thee; aud
the books, especially the parchment
Well, your grace replied Bunyan, ait is
allowed, believe, by all, that Timothy was a
bishop of the primitive church, and Paul. as all
agree, was travelling preacher. 1t appears to
me this may have been designed in future days,
to teach that in primitive times the bishops
were accustomed to wait upon the travelling
preachers whereas, in our days, the bishops
ride in their coaches, and the travelling preach
ers, like Paul, are minded to go afoot.'"
