THE STAPLE.
THE Cotton STRUGGLE ~ ENGLAND.
From the New York Advertiser.l

from the New York Advertiser
A cable dispatch announces that the
strike of the cotton operatives in the Eng
lish manufacturing districts Is extending
and that in Glasgow several mills nave
entirely suspended operations. ms news
is highly Important and Is calculated 10
affect the cotton market in this country
For some time past the Lancashire cotton
districts have been in a suffering condition.
The high price of cotton had so far en-
croached on the profits ofthe manufacturers,
that many of them were actually working
their mills at a loss, as the condition OF the
markets precluded an advance of the manu-
featured goods to prices spondlng with
III g advance in the raw material.
A. il was supposed that suspension OF
work would produce an accumulation OF
raw cotton that would force down the price.
il was proposed some time ago that the
manufacturers should generally close their
factories for a few months. The want OF
unanimity among employers prevented the
adoption of this plan. But many of them
worked short time, and wit out any reduc-
ton of wages. however. Recently the en-
blowers of Preston and other places met and
agreed to reduce wages from ten to twenty
per cent. This was absolutely rejected by
the workmen; and the result is strike that
is likely to be general and protraeted.
The strike, it is TO be observed, must, in
any event, be more beneficial to the en-
blowers than the workmen. 1t accomplishes
at once the general suspension of work,
and stoppage of consumption OF the raw
material. which many manufacturers have
been vainly trying to effect for some
months. The workmeu are thus actually
PLAYING into the hands of the capitalist
class. The proper course was for the work
men to take what they could get until bet
ter times Gradually the price of the man
ufactured article would ssimilate the rates
OF advance in the raw material; or else the
Increased production of the staple would
effect a reduction. Either of these events
would enable manufacturers to run their
mills at a profit, after paying the full rates
of wages. The effects of this strike upon
the American cotton market and the new
crop still remain TO be seen. That it will
force down prices, and thus diminish the
profits of the planters and the wages of the
freedmen, are among the contingencies OF
the future.

How often shall We Eat Meat:

A few wears ago, the advocates for
a vegetarian diet were quite numerous
in our land. But Of late, We hear lit
tie from them. The necessity for ami
NAL diet, in order to develop mans
highest physical nature, seems now al
most universally conceded. But an
other question may very properly
come no: Do we not cat too much
N eat? We should answer this very
decidedly in the affirmative. Many
persons eat meat three times a day,
while nearly all eat animal food at
least twice every day. But in our
opinion it would be far better to have
a hearty meal Of meat only once
day-viz: at dinner time. For break
fast a variety of dishes may be served
M such as milk toast and boiled eggs,
with coffee or baked potatoes, with
butter, salt and pepper, accompanied
also.with coffee hash (ene-third meat
and two-thirds potato), with boiled
eggs fresh fish and potatoes mack
erel and potatoes, etc., etc. course,
in the fruit season, fruits should form
an every day dish for the breakfast
table. The Spaniards have a good
proyerb Fruit is gold in the morn.
ING. silver at noon, and lead at night"
One good effect that would result
from adopting this more rational meth
cd of living, would be that good ap-
petite for food would be constantly
kept up. Every meal eaten would be
relished. And we doubt very much
whether any good arises from eating,
excepting when there is keen relish
for the food partaken of. just at the
present time, in matter of economy, 1t
would be well to restrict our meat diet
to one meal day. To have our break
fast mainly of bread, fruits, etc, would
be much cheaper than to have meats,
costing from fifteen to twenty cents
pound. For ourselves, we could be
quite contented with milk toast and
eggs and coffee for our breakfast at
least half the time. But when dinner
comes, with its roast beef, boiled NUT
ton or boiled ham, broiled beef steak
or broiled mutton chops, or fried ham
with mashed potatoes, we confess we
can do full justice to this, the main and
principal meal Of the day.
For supper, anything light and sim
pie should be supplied.
While we are quite certain that for
all persons not engaged in hard labo-
rious work the plan Of diet, which we
have thus hastily sketched, is the best,
we at the same time admit that those
undergoing severe toll may require at
least two hearty meals each day.

A most painful case of logging a little
school girl has just transpired in the adj

was laughing at, replied. Nothing" The

her hold her head upon the desk for half an
hour, and afterward she took large ruler
and used it upon her hand until it was sore
and blistered. She then seized her by the
throat. dragged her. across the desk and
threw her upon the platform, and then, put
ting her knees upon the little girls stomach,
struck her several times with a larger ruler
than before. During all this the girls dress
was badly torn. and also some of her under
clothing. She was then kept after school,
and could not get away until after she shout
ed to q boy from the window TO go after her
mother, aud then it was found necessary to
remove her in a carriage. A physician who
was called found both arms black and blue
from the shoulders to the arm Joint; also
spots on her kneSS, two blisters on the left
hand black and blue marks on the right
hand and a violent pain in her stomacht
The little girl was so much exhausted tina.

From the Louisville COurier-Journal,
a Carnival of Blood in Indiana.

A frightful story of bloodshed comes
up the river from Cannelton, Indiana,

tant from this city. We have only a

be the facts, and our information is
from persons who came up by boat
from the scene of the tragedy. 1t APP
pears that OF Sunday last a merchant
named Dunlevy, who has been man
of high standing in the community in
which he lived, got into an alteration
with another citizen of Cannelton, and
words became so hot that both men
finally drew their knives and made a
fierce assault, the one upon the other.
They fought desperately, and in a few
minutes both had fallen, Dunleyy's
heart being cut entirely open, and his
antagonist bleeding from fatal wounds.
While the bloody rencontre was in
progress, crowd gathered around the
combatants, and a number Of the friends
of each interfered. They did not i'm
prove matters much, however, for they
also drew weapons, and terrible con-
fict ensued with pistols and knives.
Before the fight ended, three men fell
wounded very severely, neither of
whom will be like to recover. The
man who fought Dunlevy fingered I'M
