Revolution in the Cotton Trade.

When the rebellian inaugurated iSalf, the
loss Of cotton was regarded as an anmixed ard

and what could satisfy tie want? What could
prevent foreign inleryeation-what meet our
own requirements The rebellion was to 4
great extent based upon cotton. ard cotton

commencement Of the civil strife. but thus far
it has not proved Itself In addition 10 tie

other regions have been stimulated to compen-
SAFE for our loss, aud the summary Of results
appruxima,eS more closely TO its an,eceden-s
than was expected by the most Sansuiue.
The latest reports from the British markets
report steadily Increasing supplies, and fall 10

aggravated by the stringeucy Of the English
money market. The stock in Liverpool on the
III uit reached S9l 900 bales, or considerably
more than double the quantity he'd ai the
corresponding period OF last year. and an in
crease of 10000 baloS since the Isl If Sep

the year OF largest consumption.
Thus, after a three Years blockade Of our
Southern ports, the supplyof cotton in England
is found to be equal to that Of the most pros
porous year Immediately preceding the rebellion.
The moral of all this is, in cur blindness South.
We have bartercd, for time. without CQuva
lent, the immense wealth which was ours tom
this source, and have given ii TO others, aud all
because, under the leading Of few ambitious
politicians, the best Government on earth was

penalty of Southern want Of fidelity TO the
Nation and the Constitution. With the Union
restored however there is reaSon TO believe
that the production Of cotton will be speedily
restored to its former magnitude. 1t has been
concluSvely demonstrated that no other coun.
Try can equal US in the growth OF the long
stapled article, which is indiSpenSably necessary

and no other country can compete with US IN
regard to prices.
The fall in values on this side Of the Atlantic

Laces and the Love of Them.

! 4 lady who does not care for laces is phe
nomenon. They have been in vogue with the
sex for at least four hundred years, and. amid
all the mutations of fashion. have never lost
their prestige as a speciality of the aristOcratc
toilet. PuritaniSm, q akeriSm, Methodism
have decriei AMI denounced them in vain, and
Sumptuary laws aiming at their restriction to q
/ privileged few have proved a dead letter
Strange 10 say, the world is indebted for some
of the costliest of lis fabrics to class vow
to perpetual abstinence from the vanities OF the
flesh. The nuns of the middle ages introduced
gupure, and in fact almost up to the time of
/ the Reformation the nGnneries were the prin
/ cipal lace and embroidery factories. The fair
devotees for long period limited their abors
to the production Of cobweb robes for the i'm.
ages of the Saints, but eventually they exerc sed
their vesal fingers in the iasdioning of wells
etc, for the adornment Of queens and noble
women. Sometimes, so slow was the process
of manufacture, it took two or three generations
to complete a robe for the Virgin Mary. When
the delicate film work dropped from the hands
of the superannuatcd Sister who had spent
lifetime in its elaboration, it was caught as
reverenty as if it had been prophets mantle
by some younger member of the order, who. in
turn growing old and blind, transmitted it to
another; so that the grand cathedrals and
stately towers of medieval Europe were con
strucied in less time than its thread lace wells
and manlleS The lace ruiis of Queen Eliza
beth's reign were an abomination in The eyes
Of the pious fathers Of the Reformation; but
GOOD Queen Bess' thought they became her
stiff figure and vixen face, and she piled them,
enc above another, mp to her royal ears, in
utter contempt Of the ecceSiastics. An author
Of that day, referring to the Elizabethan style
of wearing ruff, says they were placed grada-
tim, one beneath the other, and underneath all
the mas er devil lulf; wrought all over with
needlewofk.
Lace making is not now the tedious work
that it was few centuries ago; but even yet
the finest laces are all manufactured by hand.
and rare specimens are worth almost fabulous
prices. The Empress Eugenie has shawl Of
point d Alencon, for example, valued al $4,000,
piece cf toilet dFapeFy OF the same material,
worth $4,000 and complete dress of denlille
r6yale for which the figure was 81 1900. From
one to two thousand dollars have frequently
been given for a lace bridal robe iu this land
of republican simplicity, aud we presume that
since Shoddy became lord of the Ascendant.
still more expensive fabrics have been imported
to meet the exigencies of the feminine members
OF bis iliustrious clan.
