Ditto.

An honest old farmer rather ignorant OF
the improved method of abbreviation, went
to a certain store, at which he did his trading
to make his annual settlement
On looking over the BILL he occasionally
found charges like the following:
40 one pound tea, to ID. ditto"
Not knowing the meaning of the term dit
to, he concluded the account was not correct
and posted off home to inquire into the affair
Wife said he, this is pretty business.
There is Mr. -, who has charged me with
pound of ditto. Now, | should like to
know what you have done with so much
ditto
Ditto, Ditto" replied the old lady 81
never had pound OF ditto in my house inmy
life"
So back went the farmer in high dudgeon
that he should be charged with things he had
never received.
"Mr. - said he my wife says she never
had pound of ditto in the house IN her life"
The merchant thcreupon explained the
meaning of the term, and The farmer went
home satisfied.
His wife inquired if he had found out the
meaning of ditto.
Yes" said he; III means I'm id fool
ard you're ditto"

LONDON, Nov. 1s.-A cotton mill near
Manchester was burned to-day. Loss

The Daily Telegraph this morning has
another article on the Yirginius affair.

manity would lead Eng gland TO view
lavorably the annexation OF Cuba 10 the
United States; that the American govern.
ment will await the reassembling Of Con-
gress before taking action 10 evident, and
that It's policy will not be governed by
popular clamor. We do not despair Of o
peaceful solution oil the question. In view
Of the difficulty the United States would
experience In retaining possession Of
Cuba II annexed, We would advise the
government oil that country to acknowl-
edge the belligerency Of the insurgents
and ultimately guarantee the independ-
ence Of the island, asking in return the
abolition OF slavery.

A correspondent Of the New York ari'

ton on the Cuban question, and telegraphs
TO that paper as follows:
Mr.. Sumner remarked the attitude Of
certain London journals in this matter,
some Of which were never friendly 10 the
United States; that they are doing all they
can TO rouse indignation in this country.
We need to be very careful, he thought,
how we adjust our policy 10 the opinions
received from that quarter. They would
be too glad to involve us In war with
Spain. They do not like Republicanism
In Spain, and would only delight TO have
It crushed by Republicanism in America
England would rub her hands In glee II
she could make out the Virginius sec
ond Alabama. She would be glad II we
placed ourselves in the same position as
herself by recognizing the Virginius.
As to the legal aspects of the case, MIR.
Sumner said they appeared 10 his mind
very clear. The feet that the vessel went
under the United States flag does not ne.
cessarily compromise our honor II she
was fillibuster. The flag and the papers
were only q part Of the pretense. II
would be foolish, however. he remarked
TO make the case Of the Virginius plea
for the recognition Of Cuba. It would be
cruel, too, TO precipitate war with
Spain unlesswe were really driven to It,
We must save the Spanish Republic, II
