THE EFFEcrs OF THE CABLE ON TRADE.
Tho Atlantic cable seems to be work.
ing a complete revolution in trade be-
tween America and Europe, and IS an
instance of the extent to which this is
done, and of the CELEBRITY with which
the cable can transmit dispatches, it is
announced that English orders upon the
San Francisco markets for the purchase
of the fine wheat Of California have
passed through the cable and by over
land telegraph between London and San
Francisco. So promptly are these or
ders executed that we are informed that
advices of the purchase of wheat have
been returned to the London merchant
who sent the orders in the morning by
the evening of the same day. Upon
Diplomatic relations the cable has a
great influence by shortening the time
of communication between the United
States Government and her Ministers
abroad. The longest dispatch ever sent
the cable was one Of more than
5000 words. transmitted lately by Sec
retary Seward to one of our foreign
Ministers. The cost of this dispatch, if
in cyphers, as Government dispatches
usually are sent, must have been at
least SOS, 900 in gold.

GENERAL BANKS delivered a successful

GENERAL BANKS delivered a successful
lecture at Waltham, in Massachusetts,,
on Wednesday evening, Nov. 27th, on
the subject Of "The Organization of
American Manufactures and Industry"
He gave the following interesting statis-
tics: "In 1910, the cloth of all kinds
manufactured in the United States
amounted to &c, 900, 900 yards; in 1860,
it amounted to 1875, oOO, 900 yards, and
the yearly product now probably exceeds
1000, O0O, 900 yards. The cloth pro-
duced in Massachusetts, in 1865 was
valued at $l42, 900, 900, more than one
fourth the value of the entire industrial
products of the State. The entire pro-
duct of American manufactures in 1910
was less than 5000, 000, 900, and in 1860
it was 81, 900, 900, 900. In 1910, Georgia
produced more cloth than Massachu-
sets, and the States of Maryland, Ken
lucky, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia and Virginia produced 29,oo0,-
900 yards, and now they produce none
In 1900, English manufacturers would
not use American cotton, and the entire
stock of American cotton at Liverpool
at that time wa one bale. In 1910, our
crop Of cotton was 100, 600 bales, in 1860
it was 5,3s7,Oo0 bales, and in a few
years we shall grow 10000, 900 bales,
for it can be raised in twenty States in
stead Of five. American cotton was first
used at Waltham for the manufacture of
cloth, and the Walthsm mechanics
therefore created for the co~tton-grower
both the domestic and foreign markets.

OFFICIAL JoxEs.-Governor Sanders
and Chief-Justice Kellogg, of Nebraska,
were in Galesburg, Illinois, on a Sunday
lately, and in the morning attended
Rev. Mr.. Beecher's church. The Free
Pres, says that, as the ermon was upon
the late elections and of a radical tone,
the Judge being a conservative, was not
well pleased, while the Governor was
delighted. The Judge afterward turned
the joke, however, by saying that while
he was somewhat uneasy, Governor
Sanders left the church in a perfect
rage-for Mr.. Beecher prayed fervently
for the Governors of all the States, and

The marriage of the Czarewich and
the Princess Dagmar took place in st.
Petersburg, with great ceremony, on
the 9Th ult. A correspondent writes:
"At a certain part Of the service the
Czarewich and his bride stepped for
ward from the circle of the Imperial
family, and having been conducted BY
the Emperor to q raised dais, Joined in
the prayers of the Metropolite. Later,
two younger Princes of the blood, one
of whom l recognized as Prince Alexis,
approached and held above the heads
of the bridal pair the marriage crowns
peculiar to the orthodox ritual. They
resemble in shape and size the Episcopal
tiaras, and seem to be of silver wire, or
some such material, interviewer with
silk. This singular ceremony continued
for about twenty minutes, the officiating
Princes being repeatedly obliged to
change their hands from WEAKNESS.
Suddenly the music became softer,
quicker and more %melodious. Its elo-
quent notes predicted the speedy con-
summation of the hallowed act. To this
tune bride and bridegroom were led
thrice round the altar by the Mctropo-
lite. Then they were pronounced to be
man and Wife"

SONG.


On the bank Of Q river was seated one day
An old man, and closely bis side
Was q child who had paused from bis laughing
To gag. a. the stream as 1, hurried away
To the sea, with the ebb o. the tide.
What sec you, my child, in the stream as /,
To tho ocean 80 dark and deept
Are you watching how swift, yet how silent, II
Thus hurry our lives until they sink In repose,
And are lost In q moasureless sleep"
Now listen, my boy I you are young, l am old,
And yet like two rivers are we.
Though the food.tide Of youth from TIme'I
ocean IL rolled,
Yetit GIBBS all too soon and Its waters grow cold
As 1t crespI back again to the Sea"
But the river returns" cried the boy, while bill
Cleaned bright a. the waters below.
"Ahi yes" said tho old man, 'but time as II
Turns the tide Of our life. and 1t never can rlse. II
But arst," said tho boy, ut must aow.'
Thus, watching It's course from the bank Of tn,
stream,
They unused as they sat side by side,
Each read different tales In the rivers bright
gleam;
One borne with the flow Of a glorious dream,
And ono going out with the tide.

The INVALID CoRPs.-lt is reported
from Washington that numbers Of Grip
pied discharged soldiers are constantly
arriving in that city, from the North, TO
enlist in the Invalid Corps of the army.
They are generally penniless, their fare
to that city being paid BY friends or
charitable institutions. As no more
cripples are received in the army, these
men find upon their arrival that they are
without employment, and must subsist
on charity. The Washington journals,
therefore, urge them not to visit that
city, as their hopes of enlisting in the
Invalid Corps are without any founda-
ton.
