alss eoftOn and Consumption.
"A correspondent in to-day's. Times speak
! ing of the calamity in the cotton trade
says il was owing TO an increase of
consuming power at a time when the raw
material was decreasing. He argues that
il must be folly in the American planters
to grow FIVE million bales of cotton at
double the expense of land and labor, when
same profit will be realized from half the
amount. BE lie certain q well arranged
trial must convince the spinner of the
benefit of cooperation In growing.
Philosophy Ofsickness.
The Times to-day says the indisposition
of the Emperor is a gain for the people.
1t has made them feel that nations must
survive individuals and their destinies
must not hang on one life. 1t will be the
Emperor's fault if his indisposition be not
8 gain for himself and his dynasty. He
must suffer no relapse to find him unpre.
pared. He must admit the possibility Of
the worlds going en- without him and
honestly endeavor to set it going. To
achieve this he has only to make good
Prince Napoleon's words and must have
the empire on q policy unreservedly
moderate. -@A-. ~.

Lord md Lady Byron.
The London Times to-day has an edi
torial on the article in the Atlantic Month
" by Mrs Stowe in relation to Lord and
Lady Byron. The writer after commenting
on the character and position of Lord
Byron, considers Mrs. Stoves story faith
ful production of Lady Byron's statement
to her solicitor. The latter do net hesitate
in manifesting 10 discredit, but do not con.
tradict the story. 1t is impossible that Mira.
Stowe understood once and forgot after
wards the substantial part of the state
ment, but it is perfectly possible and prob
able that the wife was victim of delusion.
We can find nothing incompatible with
such hypothesis. On the contrary the story
unintentionally confirms it. We have
vainly searched to find out what Lord By
ron said and did to confirm his guilt, and
only fud vague impressions that the wife
was fully convinced. The fact was start
ling, but not the less so when we remem-
Der that she thought him insane. We
cannot conjecture how the wife could en-
terrain the suspicion, bnt can easily
understand that when entertaining it, she
first imposed on herself then on Mrs.
Stowe. 1t would only be what thousands
Of unhapPy wives have done before have
suspicious of exceptional enormity. This
bands sanity and the low opinion his own
confessions may have led her to form OF
his morality.
The Gszstte says on this subject what
ever may be the reasons that determined
Mr.. Wentworth and his sister to postpone
the publication of lady Byron's papers,
Mrs. Stowe cannot be such a serious Of
fender, if the grandchildren seriously
thought ofprinting them. The solicitors in
their letter recently published make no
charge of inaccuracy but Of Incomplete
ness. The inference is Mrs. Stoves state
ment is correct, but that some more re-
mains to be told.
The Morning Post
Also has an article on the question, where.
in the writer says, as Lady Byron's will
committed her papers to the care Of
trustees under certain conditions, and as
Mrs. Stowe was not her trustee, her story
is entirely gratuitous and unauthorized.
She has committed
Breach Of Confidence
Reposed in her and the offense by her
own showing does not admit of extenu ton.
There was no error of judgment in the
matter. 1t is for Mrs. Stone to explain
her motives. 1t does not signify whether
Mrs. Stone WE ignorant of the terms OF
the will or not, the violation of confidence,
the outrage on the dead, the disregard Of
the feelings of the living, are the same.
She ought to known that public con-
scieuce cannot be 30 offended with impu-
nity
