COTTON IN ENG.
 LAND.
Factories at W ork.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
 It is a matter of sincere congratula- ton that our crisis of manufacturing distress is past, that all factories are again at work and likely to remain SO, and that the whole of our operative population is once more employed, and employed at even higher wages than heretofore. It is gratifying too, to recollect that during the four calaini- tous years we have had to encounter, when nearly million ofpeople were moro or less dependent upon charitable aid, not single person IS known to have perished from want; and that we traversed 6 protracted perlod or unpar- aleled and industrial dlsorganlzation with less permanent mischief of either q moral or social character than any one believed possible. There was q wide spread ruin among capitalists; there was sad impoverishmenta and bitter dis trcss among the laboring poor; there was severe pressure Of many sorts among all classes; but through the whole period there was scarcely an at tempt at riot; there was litftc drunken ness and less crime, while the feeling between employed, though far from perfect, still was softened rather than embittered by the crisis.
 One thing appears certain-at least all our former experience points in this direotion--the cotton of the United States will always, in the main, be pre- ferred to every other quality if it can be supplied to Us in ample quantity and at a sufficiently low price, That being the case, we shall only purchase the articles furnished to us by India and Egypt either as supplementary, or in case they can tempt us either by price or quality, for there are certain characteristics in which the Egyptian staple is preferable even to American.

whatever am, morally or socially, I am
indebted to you for it, and he shook my
hand as only a grateful man can. Then
he told me what he had been about all
these years; how, by industry and per
severance. he had won the confidence of
his employer, had In time been admitted
by him as a partner, had married his
partners daughter-In a word, he was
happy.
Ny surprise at the appearance of my
boy, his evident pleasure in meeting me,
his earnest inquiries after my welfare
all these things at such a time, I fully ap-
preeiated and I did not hesitate to tell
him how I was situated. He laughed at
my misfOrtunes, hoped / woul dnt lay
awake O. nights grieving about them, and
taking my arm, led me away. He took
me to his Office, told me of his extensive
business, made me shake hands with his
father-in- law, and I don't know how
many others, and soon after leading me
up the stately steps of as fine a dwelling
as a reasonable man could wish to possess,
he introduced me to its lovely mistress,
his wife.
I passed a pleasant week under that
frieadly roof, and more than once, as
journied homeward, I thought how many
more such grateful harvests might be
garnered, if men would be less miserly of
the proper seed.

THE STATEMENTS OF A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS-.
Man.

We present the following extract from
a speech made by Harris, of Maryland,
in Congress, on the 18th of June. He is
a Democrat whose purity will hardly be
questioned. His speech was an avowed
and open support of the principle of Sc
cession
Mr.. HARRIS addressed the house in
opposition. He declared, in principle. he
now stood as he had stood after the war
was declared-as he had stood In the last
Congress, when he had received It's frOWn
of censure ; as he had stood in prison be-
fore that internal instrument of tyranny
a conrt-martial and as he stood in prin-
cIpIe, so he would stand In practice, what
ever occasion might require. He declar-
ed himself an old line Democrat, belieV-
ing In the doctrine of secessiOn-believ-
ing that the several states of the Union
have the right to separate from it. each
acting for itself. He declared it his be-
lief that abuses and usurpation had been
practicedand threatened to so greatan ez-
tent by the Conservatives and partners in
this Government that the Southern States
were justified IN going out and his fur
ther belief that by their ordinances of
secession they did go out, and thereby
became to this Union foreign States.
These convictions he could not change,
and he did not expect they would ever be
removed He would most assuredIy pro-
claim them and stand by them as long as
a single citizen Of the confederate States
was IN chains or subject to penalty for
asserting them.
Referring to the assassination Of Mr..
Lincoln, he said that Mrs Mary Surratt
was convicted, of course that she was
tried by court-martial and her immedi-
ate execution was ordered. She entreat-
ed for four days to enable her to over
come the shock and the better to prepare
her soul to meet her God. Not an hour, "
thundered forth the voice from the War
Department. ION with the gallows, the

of a higher authority, and probably a
more merciful heart. Preston King was

and Notwithstanding application has
been made in behalf of her heart broken
daughter for her remains, those remains
are still IN keeping of the War Depart
ment. Pontius PLATE delivered the body
of Jesus to j oseph of Aramathea. But
worse than Pontius Plate is here. He
continued at some length, and said that
so long as the test oath remained on the
statue book he would do all he could to
remove it, and rescue the noble citizens
| of the South from the slavery and degra-
dation it imposed. He claimed secession
as a ruling principle of the Democratic
/ party from 1888 to the late war.

A YEAR nE WOE.

just about a year ago Mr.. M. Herzog
received from Mrs. Kempf, whose hUs-
dand keeps a grocery store in this city, a
certain fifty cent note in part change.
Not long afterward when he undertook to
pass it, he was informed that it was not
genuine Too lazy to take it back to the
store where he obtained it, he fancied
that he could get rid of it on some silly
one. So, during the year he labOred
faithfully to pass it. But when any one
did take it, it was certain to return
within one week 1t would not even do
for beer Once he was arrested for pas
sing counterfeit money. Two or three
times got into rows about this unhappy
note, wherein he either got beaten or I'm
ed, and sometimes both. Nothwithstand-
ing all these misfortunes, he madly clung
to the dirty bit of paper which wrought
him so much woe. Knocked down one
night and robbed, this wretched thing
escaped the attention of his disp0ilers.
Once his pocket book fell into the fire and
everything else was burnt. His wife wan
ted to tear it up He refused. had fight
with her, and she sued for a divorce,
which was granted.
At last worn out by 'merciless disaster,
following fast and following faster" he
called on Mrs Kempf and asked her to
take back the note. She refused. On
he refused Then Mr.. HerZOg made SO
great disturbance that he was arrested,
and brought Yesterday morning before
Justice Sturtevant by whom he was
fined s.. He still retains this cause of
all his woes, and what will come next

PLAIEn TEETH.

Our attention has been called to the
following article in the British Medical
Journal It greatly concerns all those
wearers of false teeth who are using the
gutta- -percha plates referred to
'RED vULCANITE" IN DENTISTRY.
CFrom paper read before the Pathological Society
by Dr. Wells, England.)
Rev. Mr.. G. living, as he considered,
in perfect health, about six weeks ago
went to dentist in London, who fitted
him with upper and lower teeth. Imme-
diately upon wearing them, he found a
metallic taste IN his mouth which was very
disagreeable. By degrees his health be-
gan to fail he became weak and nervous,
lost his appetite, and began to emaciate
had hatulency, foetid breath, and loose
ness of the bowels.
after wearing the teeth for six weeks,
he became convinced that they were the
cause of his ailments that he was, in
fact, being sLOa0Ey poisoned. This led him
to send for me- [ found him suffering
from nervous prostration. On examin-
ing the teeth, which are here exhibited
the base Is found to be what Is termed
red vulcanite "a composition of YER
million, sulphur and India-rubber vul-
CdulACQs HIS COADOSAb4Olg hu6IGlUIGi
contains the red sulphuret of mercury
probably to some amount, as the color is
entirely due to that salt Now, as the red
vuloanite (called also, coralite, gutta-
peroha, &c.), is largely used in dentistry
! it is possible that it may not so rapidly
effect many persons as it did my patient
for Mr. @. is particularly sensitive to the
action of mercury, and thus to the pOis-
onous effects Of the vermillion contained
in the basis It is not improbable that
there may have existed some disease oi
the kidneys IN latent form, which has
been called into action by the absorption
of the mineral. Such an explanation oi
| his symptoms, however, would not render
the use of such basis-in his case, al
least, as well as many others-a whit the

that has elapsed since leaving off the teeth
he has become gradually better and

TERRlBLE mUaBEa IN ORANGE COUNTY NDlAnA

A,tragedy. riFaiing those Of Deerfeld,
in this State, and Philadelphia, Penn,
where whole families we're butchered, oc-
Cured at an early hour on Tuesday morn
! ing, in the vicinityof West Baden, Orange
county, Indiana.
From what we have been Informed of
the case, 1t appears that shortly after the
| breaking out of the war, a maR named
McCrackeH enlisted in the Union ranks.
Il short time after his departure for the
seat Of war, mis- house aud barn were burn
ed to the ground, the FIRE having orlglna-
ted BY the torch Of az iucendiary. On re-
turning home, after having served his
country faithfully, Mr. MeCracken learn
ed from a family named Woodward, that
man named VIM. Saunders was the IN
cendiary, ms own daughter having ac-
knOWledged the fact. Saunders was ar
rested at the instance Of McOracken, but
the case was finally compromised, and the
suit withdrawn. The county officials,
however. took hold of the matter, and
the grand jury having indicted Saunders,
his trial was set for this week.
Saunders, hearing that the Woodward
family would be the principal witnesses
against him, swore that they should never
enter the court room alive. In fulfill
ment of these threats, he, on Tuesday
morning last, short time before day
light, repaired to the residence of Mr..
Woodward, and with bowie knife. eoolly
and deliberately murdered Mr.. Wood
ward, his wife, and eldest daughter, and
an old ladV, the mother Of Woodward.
The bloody deed becoming known
throughout the neighborhood, the muir
derer was pursued, and finally arrested,
The most intense excitement prevails
throughout the whole of Orange county,
and strong threats of lynching the assas-
sin have been made.

ments, have been marked by simple,

repair, superintendents have been ap-
pointed to watch over them,

TRIGHlalAsIs IN I0WA-FATAL EFFECTS Of
DISEASED PORK

The Marion, Linn county, Iowa, cores
pondent of the Hartford Times, under
date of June Sd, gives some particulars
of shocking and fatal results of trichIna,
or pork disease, in that locality. The
family of Mr.. Bemis, a respectable cloth
ing dealer Of that place, eight or ten in
number, were all with one exception, ia
ken i'll, and after an investigation it was
found that they all, with the one excep-
ton Chat one having been from home at
the time) had been eating dried and
smoked ham, in its raw state, as dried
beef is eaten and the terrible truth be-
came apparent that it was the pork dis
ease. One member of the family died on
Friday, and one on Saturday; and at
the time of writing three more were in a
dangerous state, while three others were
apparently cOnvalescing. Before death
the victims became bloated in the limbs,
face and neck. They would throw up
bloody mucus; and they died deliriOus.
The correspondent further says
by the politeness of DIR. j. &. May, Of
Cedar Rapids, l examined some flesh or
muscle taken from the thigh of the
young man who died Saturday, making
the examination through q powerful mi
crocope Magnihed thus the trichinia
appear like good sized eaterpillars or bag
worms, and lie coiled up and crossing
each other in all shapes and directions.

a kernel of wheat we counted twenty
three worms. Some one computes at this
rate square inch would contain $4,000.

FRENCH HORSES.

The Paris correspondent of the New
York NelCS says:
I'm the matter of horsehesh, France Is
decidedly taking the lead of England
There are no such splendid carriage
horses to be seen anywhere as in Paris
and for cavalry remounts and animals to
be used In draught, this country is now
independent of all others, though not
many years ago France was a large pur-
chasers both in Germany and England.
This is due in great measure to the excel
lent administration of the haras, great
stallion blishmeuts. There is also,
independent Of the Government Socjete
HipDique, to encourage the breeding Of
superior draught and farm horses by
means of prizes of sufficient amount to
be an inducement to stock raisers. As
for race horses, Gladiateur beats every
thing on the habitable globe. There IS
no horse in England that has the least
chance with him and he was brought
over from that country to run fOr-or
rather to win, of course-the splendid
cup worth 10000 francs, together with
10000 in money, at the race Of Sunday
last in the Bois de Bolouge. Two horses
started with him, but he won at canter.
Gladiateur is now established as a public
character, and favorite of the Partisan
world"

Loss OF OHIO FROM THE WAR.-It
appears from statistics lately published
by the Provost Marshal General, that
Ohio lost during the war 286 officers aud
6,35l enlisted men killed in action; 143
officers and 1866 enlisted men who died
of wounds received in battle, l67 officers
and l4,540 enlisted men who died of dis
ease contracted in the army, making to-
tai loss, of Ohio troops, Of 26,U4-596
officers and 20, ,450 enlisted men. A COM
parison Of these figures with the total OF
deaths in the whole army, shows that
Ohio contributed about one-tWeltth of
the officers, and One-tenth Of the enlisted
men of the combined armies of the Uni
States. OF these losses, the infantry lost
p, ,767, while the cavalry only lost 1856,
and the artillery SS3.
The total of men furnished during the
war, reduced to the three years standard,
by Ohio, was 237, ,9I6, by Indiana, 10 2,2o3,
and by Kentucky, 70,34S. Accor di ngly,
Ohio has lost about one In nine Of her
soldiers, Indiana one in eight. and Ken.

The Tusearawas county, Ohio, Adyo-
cate says: From conversation with
the present week, we learn that the cold
rain of Sunday and Monday, 18th and
18th ult., had caused great destruction Of
life among the sheep of our county
Scarcely a farmer but has lost some, from
three to four up as high as eighty or nine
ty. The number in the county will proba
bly, reach 1900 to 1000; some place il
as high as 5000 We believe in every
case the sheep were without shelter, at
least we hear of no deaths among those
that were housed. This will be a power
full argument in favor Of providing shelter
for sheep and one by which our farmers
will no doubt profit.
