twelve months ago. That there is distress
among the cotton hands of Lancashire there can
10 ll ie doubt. The facts laid recently before
the Duke of Argyll by deputation from Preston
ue conclusive of the bad state of the cotton
trade in that town. The monthly returns do not
enable us to ascribe the increase to the indi-
'dual unions, but the pauperism of the division
has been steadily advancing since 1866 when
,he total at the end of May was 1891; in 1867
1t was 9l,29l; in 1868 it was 9S,30G, and this
year. as already stated, 105, 500; comparing this
1st with the figures of 1866 shows an increase
Of lGCO0 paupers very nearly. We cannot yet
.ay what additional burden this throws upon
Che ratepayers of the division, but in 1868 the
1ost of relieving the paupcrs of Lancashire and
Cheshire was $1,000 per week more than in 1861.
Tnat is not an agreeable consideration.
aj-MOnsieur Lesseps is evidently determined
hUt to rest content with the laurels nc will have
earned by the successful completion of the Suez
Canal. He is ready with new project for cut
ing through the Isthnus of Corinth, which. If
carried into effect, will shorten the journey from
Alarseilles to Constantinople by fourteen hours
and that from Trieste to the same town by
twenty hours. The length of the canal would
be two miles and half, and the expense, if
commenced next spring, only $4,000, 900 francs
as a large number of the wOTkmen now en-
plOyed on the greater works II Sucz could be
transported at trifling cost to the scene of the
contemplated undertaking.
1t is currently reported that General Won
Moltke, the illustrlous victor of Sadowa, and
probably the greatest strategist of the day, has
made joke. 1t was remarked on the late fes-
tive visit of the King of Prussia to Bremen that
the General was in unusually high spirits, which
appear to have eliminated in the following
"mot' Some one having called his attention to
the disrespectful tone of the addresses in prose
and verse presented to the King by the towns
folk in which they did not scruple to address
his Majesty in the second person singular as
HOu or Du. "Ah." said the facetious
warrior, 'it is evident that the people
of Bremen prefer per Du to perdu' 1t may
easily be imagined that so admirable piece of
! poyglOt pleasantly prOvokes bursts of irrcsist
| ible and contagious merriment throughout the
Hanse Towns. Indeed, their ingenious nhabit-
ants appear to have mastered it more quickly and
| to relish ii more keenly than the last joke heard
| in those parts, which was made in 1872 by Riya-
| rol during his exile in Hamburg. 4 dead
| silence followed the preparation of the jest in
question, and the citizens drew together in evi-
| dent doubt to its meaning. when Riyaro

and said "Regardez done ces pauvres diabes

An interesting account of farming on a large
scale appeared in the Algerian newspapers a few
days ago. young and enterprising colonist,
son of VI. Ares-Dutour, the we-knOwn French
| capitalist, has recently purchased two farms in
the Mctidia, and turned all his attention to
developing the rich resources of that vast dis
trct. One of these farms, consisting of 400
acres, has $50 acres of corn land: hay, root, flax,
and lucern are grown in considerable quantities;
the vine is also cultivated, and the large pas
turagCs feed over and above 1000 head OF
cattle. Water is distributed by means OF
dams throughout the farm, and machinery
representing an expenditure of $4,000 (RansomC
and Sims steam ploughs among the resD has
been very advantageously called into requisition

A few capitalists of the same liberal views would

The Berlin papers. in commenting upon the
despatch from Herr Won Thile on the Franco
Belgian affair. lay particular stress on the pas
sage in which the Prussian Cabinet declares tina
| its communications TO German Government
are necessarily exempt from the control o
foreign Cabinets which they regard as indicat
ing the aspirations of the Prussian Goyernmen
to a union of the whole of Germany under tn
leadership of Prussia. The National Gd2eU
observes that the principle laid down by tn
Berlin Cabinet in the above passage applies +
p all the German Governments both of South an
t | North Germany, and that 'the Bund so far a
{ | foreign Governments are concerned, represent
r a State unity whose medium of communicate
