heroine Of the adventure, married ten years
ago, was shortly afterwards forsaken by her
husband, who emgrated to America. At the
end Of nine years she married again, the
second husband, like the FIRST, belonging to
the laboriug class. Soon after this the return
of the first husband was reported whereupon
the woman, who had kept the fact of hsr first
marriage q profound secret, Immediately dis
appeared, and the most diligent search by
both husbands has failed to discover her re-
treat. correspondent, referring to this in
cident, says:-lt reminds me of an older one,
to which you will perhaps allow me to cali
attention as an authentic example of the most
moral, manly, English, and constitutional be-
havior, under such "tolerable and not-to-be-
borne" circumstances. 1t is mentioned in
Lyson's "Bnvirons'' as from an entry in the
parish register of Bermondsey, A. D. 1904

termination of his experience OF matrmony."
COTTON IN ENGLAND. - The cotton supply
question is of considerable interest and gravity.
Thus, in the nine months ending September
30, this year, 1924, ,049 cwt. only were i'm
ported into the United Kingdom, as compared
with S,o44, 233 cwt in the corresponding
period of 1867, and 9,790 3l4 cwt. in the cor
responding period of 1866. The receipts of
cotton from Mexico and China appear to have
entirely ceased this year; and the imports
from British India sank in the first nine
months of this year to 2, lS7, 359 cwt., as COM
pared with 2, 963, $50 cwt. in the correspond
ing period of 1867 and 4 163 799 cwt in the
corresponding period Of 1866. The deliveries
from the United States, however, increased to
1852, ,9S3 cwt. to September 30, this year. as
compared with A, 1SS 054 cwt. and 3, 995, 679cwt.
in the corresponding periods OIL S67 and 1866 re-
spectively. 1t will be seen that the decrease
in the imports in the first nine months of
this year was $50, lS4 cwt., as compared with
the corresponding three-quarters of 1867; but
the falling off was to some extent Deutralized
by the decline in the exports of cotton from
the United Kingdom, which were less by
453, SS8 owt in the nine months ending Sep
tember 30, this year, than in the correspond
ing period of 1867. The actual diminution in
the quantity of cotton available for home con-
sumption in the United Kingdom to September
30, this year, was thus reduced to 96, 296 cwt.
OF the miscellaneous cotton fields, if We may
SO call them, Brazil appears to be more than
holding her own, but all the others are losing
ground.-PdH Mall Gazette.
WHEAT IN ENdLAND.-The price of wheat is
now about lSS. per quarter lower than it was
at the corresponding date of 1867. 1t is, how
ever, about g. per quarter higher than it was
at the corresponding date of 1885, 12s. per
quarter higher than at the corresponding date
of 1868, and los. per quarter higher than at
the corresponding date of 1864. 1t can hardly
be said, then, that we have yet entered upon
a period of extreme cheapness as regards
wheat; and the return to comparatively mode
rate rates has had the effect of reducing to
some extent the foreign deliveries, the ina por 8
in September having declined to 2, 259, 43C
cwt., as compared with 3,067, ,662 cwt. in Sep
tember 1867, and l., l92, 064 cwt. in September,
1866. Even the United States deliveries,
Wnlcn nad Deen making progress lor some
time past, show certain decline, although in
the first three quarters of this year we re-
ceived f. ia, 203 cwt. of American wheat, al
compared with 1,9S0,007 cwt. in the cores
pondiDg period of 1867, and 3SS,0l0 cwt. il
the corresponding period of 1866 The i'm
ports in October will be found to have beer
considerable, however; aud, upon the whole
the tendency of wheat prices appears likely t
be gradually downwards.-PGH Mall Gazette
-GaHgnani quotes from an Italian jOurna
an account of a recent operation to save life b.
the TRANSMISSION of blood. 1t was performed
in Palermo, at the Hospital della Concezone
by DR.. Albanese. A young man had a lej
amputated for bad humor, while in yer,
low state but the operation reduced him to
worse state than ever, and it became apparen
that he was fast sinking, the pulse being i'm
perceptible and the body cold. In this emer

Two assistants OF the hospital offered to hav
their veins opened for the purpose, and thus
at two different intervals, 220 GINS. of bloc
were introduced into the patients system
After the first time he recovered the tscult
of speech, and stated that, before, he coul
neither see nor hear, but now felt as if he wer
flying in the air. At latest dates he was re
poIted in fair way to recovery. This is on
of the few successful cases OF the kind on re
cord.
