Domestic Felicity of George the Third

Here is a pithY extract from a recent
speech of Bradlaugh in an English
town: I" Mr.. Disraeli, at Manchester,
spoke of the royalty of this country.
He said that George the Thirds family
were Ian example of domestic felicity.
He said they illustrated the home of
the nation. I ask you to only imagine
George the Thirds family an example
of domestic felicity. George the
Thirds grandfather locked up his wife
for thirty years, and In her absence
lived with two other women. Is that
an example of domestic felicity
George the Thirds grandfather never
spoke to George the Third. George
the Third andfatherIburnedbi his wife's
will, George the Thirds father burned
his fathers will, and still Mr.. Disaeli
sets them up as an example Of domestic
felicity ! George the Thirds mother
said that her son was the most licen-
tious, dishonest, and wicked man liv-
ing, and she wished that he might die
and leave the world That's an exam
pie of Mr.. Disraeli's domestic felicity.
When George the Third was mad his
two sons came back to their clubs and
spoke it widely there in order to make
believe that the madness was incurable.
George the Thirds son was drunk the
day be was married. He deserted his
wife the day his first child was born;
and Mr.. Disraeli says this is an exam
pie of domestic felicity When Ma
poleon died, a man-George the Thirds
eldest son-came to him and said,
Sire, your greatest enemy is dead
and George the Third, not thinking of
Napoleon, but of his wife, said, Is
she, by G.? Oaughter). And Mr..
Disraeli says they are an example of
domestic felicity Not only did he
say that they were an example of do
mestic felicity, but that they repre-
sented the morality of the nation.
George the Thirds son wrote that the
Brunswicks we're family without prin
pie, and were not to be trusted. George
the Thirds three sons borrowed money
aud placed anonymous signatures
thereon, and afterward denied the sig
natures and shipped off to a foreign
country those persons who were con-
cerned IN the affair, in order that they
might not criminate them. George
the Fourth stole a quantity of corona
zion diamonds, and then accufed an
other man of the crime. And MIR.
Disraeli says they are an example Of
morality

National bank of Chicago, the treasury de-
partment offers one-half per cent. premium,

A dividend of five per cent, author

The lieutenant governor of Missis-
sippi has telegraphed that ne has sent to the
president by mail a statement of affairs at
Vicksburg, which led him to apprehend dis
turbance of the peace, which, owing to the
unorganized state of the militia, he would lie
unable to suppress. The mayor and post
master of Yicksburg have on the other hand
telegraphed to the president protesting
against the sending of troops to that city, as
such an act would have the effect of inereas-
ing the excitement, as there are no indications
Of an outbreak. The secretary of war, in
view of the protest of the mayor of Vicks-
burg and the postmaster at that city against
sending troops there, has countermanded his
order directing troops to proceed to that place
until the full particulars of the whole trouble
be received from the acting governor.

COTTON MANUFACTURE.
The Other Side of the Picture " Ords of
Encouragement for the south.

The Other Side of the Picture Ords of
Encouragement for the south.
To induce parties in Georgia to erect
cotton mills, a southern writer the other
day compiled a table of dividends de-
clared by some of the eastern cotton
and wooden mills in 1873. This table
showed that 26 out of Al companies di-
vided from 10 to 20 per cent. each. In
order that the south may not be too en-
vious on account of these enormous
profits the Boston journal undertakes
to picture what it calls the other side
of the history of manufacturing in that
section. the losses and sacrifices oc-
curing during the history of these
mills before those profits were found.
Some of those mentioned as making
such dividends in 1873, we are reminded
lost their whole capital at other times,
and had to organize anew. The stock
OF others, aid in at 81 900 a share,
sold at $50 IN l 81. The Chicopee had
its capital cut down in 1860 from $780,
300 to $2I0, 600 by impairments and
so on through the list. Still, these un-
pleasant "reminiscences need not dis
courage men from engaging in cotton
manufacture, for there are ups and
downs, lights and shades in all busi-
ness, and the success of the mills at
Augusta, Ga, and other places in the
cotton country, shows clearly that with
economical management it is very prof
table to operate such manufactures in
the south, where all expenses of trans
pCrtation of the raw material Is saved.
The results of the Augusta cotton
factory enterprise are such as to en-
courage the southern people to further
Efforts in manufacturing. The depend
ence of the south on the north for man
ufactured products was shown striking
" during the war, when, with cotton in
abundance, the wealthiest citizens were
obliged to purchase at enormous gold
prices clothing brought over in block
ade runners, while the poorer classes
were the toughest of hOmespun. Since
the war several praiseworthy efforts have
been made by southern capitalists to
render Their section independent. The
most successful of those enterprises is
the Augusta cotton factory, started soon
after the war. Only sixty thousand
dollars were ever paid in, and the COM
pany has paid out in divid' n is 81, ,06S,
coo, has property worth 81, 200, 600, at
the lowest calculation, and q surplus of
$265, $50. During the fiscal year just
ended the company has expended $780,
600 for new machinery and for the en-
largement and Improvement of the
buildings. Yet Georgia only consumes
%, COO bales of cotton in her mills,
about One-twentieth part of her own
crop, while most of the other southern
states are without cotton mills, and
have to send their whole crop elsewhere
to be manufactured.-Ne1U York Sun.

Where It All Comes From.

A writer on chair" says Though
the day for the best bargains has gone,
it is still not uncommon TO obtain
magnificent cheUeLure from a Breton
peasant for a gaudy cotton handkerchief
or a twenty sous pair Of earrings. Ty-
ing his horse to a spreading tree, the
hair-monger, armed with formidable
pair of scissors, soon attracts a crowd
of village maidens, who, after 8 little
haggling, submit to be sheared like 50
many sheep. After dcxtrously and
gracefully clipping the locks, he de-
posits them. neatly tied, In his bas-
kets, and Jeannie is liberated, to be
greeted with shouts and laughter from
her companions, for so well has the
work been done that her head has the
appearance Of being shaved. Nowhere
bnt in Brittany will the girls submit to
this wholesale cropping, insisting upon
preserving a few thin locks, at least, OF
natures fairest gifts. In that province,
however, where the custom is for won
en- to wear hideous, close fitting caps,
hair which would be the glory Of Amer
icau ladies is useless, and it is there
that the hair-merchant reaps his richest
/ harvest.

Why some should taste of all the joys,
And others only feel the cares.
l wonder why the sunshine bright
Should fall in paths some people tread.
While others shiver in the shade

While others faint and thirsty go
Why should sweet flowers bloom for some,
For others only thorns be found?
And some grow rich ON fruitful earth.
While others till the barren ground.

While others go on their lone way
Unblessed with aught or tenderness

Should ne'er be moistened with a tear,
While other weep from morn till night,
