S120 per hand. 1t appears from
this that cotton spinning is twice
as profitable in some states as in
others, its largest profit being
found in Missouri, the next larg.
est in South Carolina, after which
come Tennessee and the New Eng
land states. The census affords
no clue to the explanation of the
striking differences exhibited, un-
less it be that in South Carolina
the cotton mills are all turned by
water wheels, while in Massachu-
sets and Rhode Island two-thirds
of them are turned by steam.
Even this, however, does not ex-
plain why the highestproft shou' d
be found in Missouri where steam
alone is used.

A very affecting incident uc-
cured in a Connecticut town
the other day. The clergy~
man, whose salary was four
hundred dollars, was waited
upon by a delegation. One
of the elders made a little
speech, in which he asked the
minister to accept from the
congregation an addition of
one hundred dollars to his sala-
ry. When the venerable old
man heard this request, his
aged eyes filed with tears, and
for a few moments he bowed
his snow-white head upon his
hands. Then in a voice that
was trembling with emotion,
he saids "Gentlemen, l can't
see it The hardest work |
have to do now is to collect
my salary, and if | should un>
dertake to collect hundred
dollars more | would be mould
ering in the silent grave in less
than a week :" The elder was
so deeply affected by this res
mark, and his conscience was
so stUng with remOrse, that he

PRESPIRATION-The unpleas-
ant odor produced by prespira-
tion is frequently the source Of
vexation to persons who are
subject to it. Nothing is sins
pier that to remove this odor
much more etfectually than by
the application of such costly
unguents and perfumes as are
in use. 1t is only necessary to
procure some of the compound
spirits of ammonia, and place
about two tablespoonfuls in a
basin of water. Washing the
face, and hands and arms with
this leaves the skin as clean,
sweet and as fresh as one would
wish. The wash in perfectly
harmless, and very cheap. 1t
Is recommended on the author
ity of an experienced physician.

ton manufacturing is more profit

any other state in the Union ex.
cept Missouri, and it is surprising
that it should not be more exten-

hands, having $780, 200 capital,
paying s120,300 in wages, and

A CHANGE DESIRED.

We hope that the representatives.
from Elizabeth will effect change in
the day Of our municipal election.
No necessity exists for combining the
city and state elections, and we hope
the next legislature will repeal the pre-
sent law, SO change it, as to give the
speople chance to vote for municipal
officers-say on the first Tuesday of
December--a time always dull with our
mechanics and tradesmen. By holding
the city election in December, the peo-
pie would be able to give more thought
to duty-better men would be selected,
and none but the best citizens would
stand any show for success. At pre-
sent, there are entirely too many to vote
for. 1t is inconvenicnt for the judges
and clerks, and for the people who. are
always anxious to know the result.
Several charges will have to be made
this winter, and this might be included
with the other notifications of the city
charter. We shall have to create sew
eral new wards. Let the work be done
thoroughly.
