A recent cable dispatch announced
that the strike Of the cotton operatives
in the English manufacturing districts is
extending and that il Glasgow several
mills have entirely suspended operations
This news, says the New York AdUer-
tiseT, is highly important and is cs,cl-
lated to effect the cotton market in this
country. For some time past the Ian
cashire cotton districts have been ia 2
suffering condition. The high price Of
cotton had so far ~encrosched on the
profits ofthe manufactures that many OF
them were actually working their mills
AT 3 loss, as the condition Of the markets
precluded IN advance Of the Manufactured
goods TO prices corresponding with the
ndvance of the raw material.
As II was supposed that q suspension OF
work would produce an accumulation Of
raw cotton that would force down the
price, it was proposed some time ago
thai the manufacturers should generally
close their factories for q few months
The want Of unanlmity among employ
ers prevented the adoption Of this plan.
But many o. them worked short time,
without any reduction OF wages, how
ever. Recently the employers at Pres
ton and other places met and agreed to
reduce wages from ten to twenty per
cent. This was absolutely rejected by
the workmeD and the result is a strike
that is likeIy to be general and pre-
trseted.
The strike, 1t is to be observed, must,
in \ event, be more beneficial to the
employers than the workmen. It &C
eompIishes at once the general suspen-
sion Of work, and stoppsge Of eonsump-
tion of the raw material, which many
manufacturers have been vainly trying
10 effect for some months. The work
msn are thus actually playing into the
hands Of the capitalists class. The
proper course was for the workmen to
axe what psy they could get until better
times. Gradually the price Of the manu-
featured article would asslmilAte the
rates OF advance in the raw material; or
else the increased production Of the staple
wonId effect q reduction. Either Of these
sven.s would enable manufacturers to
yun their mills at 8 psOhs, after paying
mil rates Of wages. The effects Of this
strike upon the Ameriean'eotton market

Minister at London is reported rs hay

in Heaven dreaming Of the cuisine at the

SALES OF GoLD..-Secretary Boutwell,
has determined to sell his surplus gold,
at regular periods, to the highest bid
der. He will sell gradually as it may
be needed for commercial purposes,
and at his weekly sales will dispose of
from q half to one million of dollars,
as he may elect, on learning Of the de-
mand for customs, etc. He will sell
without regard to the price it brings, as
he believes that the premium on gold
should properly be regulated by the
laws Of demand and supply, and that
any action Of the Government to keep
the price down, or put it up, is vicious
and improper. He does not believe in
Government secrets of this kind, and
will o allow anything to be done
while he is in the department, to give
rise to suspicious, such as were current
under Secretary McCulloch, and by
means Of which so many men were be.
lieved to have made money by the rise
and fall of gold. So a letter from Bos'
ton says.

Nous INDIAN TRoUBLEs.-From pas.
sengers who arrived by the Smoky Hill
coach this morning we learn the follow
ing \ band of 300 Indians crossed the
railroad neal Sheridan last Friday, 60.
ing north, and tearing up the track at
the place of crossing. On the same day
they attacked q large ox-train, but were
driven of. As near as our informants
could learn no one was killed OF either
side. The Indians also drove the agent
Of the Southern Overland Stage Com
pany into Sheridan, aud committed
other depredations. 1t was believed at
Sheridan and Hays City that other
bands were en- route north, and more
trouble was expected. We learn from
other sources that the companies of
troops from Fort Lyon are on the way
to Sheridan, where they will be sta
toned. This looks like II prospect Of
renewed war. The Indians will prob
ably be next heard Of along the Platte
and Union Pacific Railroad.--Denrer

Fact, About Water.

The extent with which water mingles
with bodies apparently the most SOLID,
is very wonderful. The glittering opal,
which beauty years as an ornament, ID
only flint and water. OF every l,2oo
tons of earth which n landlord has In
his estate 400 are water. The snow
capped SUBMITS of our highest noun
tains have many million tons OF water
in a solidifed form. In every plaster OF
| Paris statue which m Italian carries
through our streets for sale there Is one
pound of water to four pounds Of chalk.
The air we breathe contains five grams
of water to each cubic foot OF its bulk.
The potatoes and turnips which are
boiled for our dinner have, in their raw
state-the one Is per cent, and the
other 90 per cent. of water.
If a man weighing l40 pounds were
squeezed in a hydraulic press, 7Opounds
OF water would run out, the balance be-
ing solid matter. A man is, chemically
speaking, As pounds Of carbon n other
elements, with nitrogen diffused through
five and a half pailfuls Of water. In
plants we find water thus mingled no
less wonderfully. A sunlower evapo-
rates II pints Of water q day, and
a cabbage about the same quantity.
A wheat plant exhales in IT'S days about
loo, 900 grains of water.
The sap of plants Is the medium
through which this mass Of fluid is con-
veyed. 1t forms a delicate pump, up
which the watery particles run with the
rapidly Of a swift stream. By tho nc.
ton Of the sap various properties may
be accumulated to the growing plant.
Timber in France is, for instance, dyed
by various colors mixed with water, and
sprinkled over the roots Of the tree.
