ENGLAND's NEW RIVAL.
Rapid Development Of Cotton Manufacture
India.

Rapid Development Of Cotton Manufacture IN
India.
The manufacture of cotton is rapidly
increasing in British India, and as con-
siderable profits are realized, the ten
dency is toward continued investments
and the extension of this great indus
try. It is now manifest that Manches-
ter has lost its former control of the
eastern markets. In the single presi-
dency of Bombay there are twenty. five
cotton mills in full operation, working
600, 900 spindles and 1000 looms. The
spindles produce about 130, 900 pounds
of cotton thread day, of which about
so, 600 pounds are used to produce
cloth. These mills are chiefly IN the
Bombay Island, where a new spinning
mill. just opened by wealthy HindoO,
and working %, 600 spindles, makes a
total of seventeen working mills. Up
country there are several Others-one at
Surat, two at Broach, two at Ahmeda-
bad, one at Julgaum, one in the native
state of Bhownugger, and one at Ma
dras. Extensions are also rapidly going
forward. Eight extensions are In course
of construction at Bombay, chiefly on
share capital, and these will proyIde at
least for the working of 40, 600 more
spindles and ,345 looms. The machine
~ is always of the very newest and most
approved construction, and no efforts
are spared on the part of the Indian
producers to enable their goods to com
pete uccessfully with the choicest pro-
ducts of foreign manufacture United

SanpuinarY New York.

The scenes of blood in the city
during the last twenty-four hours
transcend even our usual shameful ex-
hibit of the crimes of Saturday and
Sunday. In the Eighth ward a gang
of drunken negroes carried a fight over
a gambling dispute from one bar-room
to another and thence into the streets.
One of them, maddened by pain and
liquor, plunged into a crowd of per
sons returning from church, and draw
ing a clasp knife, cut his way along the
sidewalk with utter recklessness as to
the result. Two innocent men received
his stabs one pierced through the
heart died instantly, and the other now
lies in a hospital, mortally wounded.
In another part of the city son kills
his father on the plea of protecting his
mother from a violent assault. In
Hester street, an italian was fatally
stabbed. In Mulberry street, also,
there was a probable murder, and
numerous crimes of a more ordinary
character are reported. 1t should be
said that IN most of these cases the
police could not have expected danger,
but they viii be held to strict account
if the criminals are not brought to
justice-Ne10 York Tribune.

There seems to have been a good deal
of humbug in the stories of the immense

found in her The accounts of the navy de
partment paymaster show this.
A summary of the losses of fire in
surance companies for the first six months of
this year, shows that they aggregate more
than the entire losses for 1874. The losses
this year have fallen, not upon great cities,
but chiefly on country towns, on property de-
stroyed on which insurance companies have
paid about twenty-six millions of dollars.
The July returns to the department
Of agriculture show that the acreage OF to-

The st. Louis Globe Democrat has
brief account of a desperate affray between
political factions of the Cherokee Indian Ma
ton at Skin Bayou, twelve miles from Fort
Smith, Ark, on the 18th inst, in which three
men-Sylvester King, VIM. Sandars, and Jo-
seph Coody-were killed. Seven men emptied
double -barreled shot-guns into Coody. At last
accounts the rival factions, numbering about
htirty on each eide, had gathered at the scene
of the difficulty, and some firing had taken
place, but with what result is not known.

Bismarck's 8 Sons. .

The two Bismarck boys are, perhaps,
the most vicious of their kind, and yet
in the towns where they have played
their most scandalous pranks, they are
spoken of with a sort of admiring awe.
Count Herbert, who has been IN during
his winter mission, has introduced more
than Prussian diplomacy into the by no
means grateful Bavarian court. There
is no end to the scandals circulated con-
corning that young gentleman, the hun
dredth part of which would serve TO

munities in any other country. His
Younger brother, Count John, Is too
Young to conceal his eXcesses, and too
blunt, even if he were not. He Is of
the impression that his father holds
Germany in fee simple. and if that
doesn't give him the right to do as he
pleases, what can ? So he does as he
pIeases, and he pleases to do exactly
what the world in general holds TO be
low and very debasing. His hsunts are
more notorious for democratic vicious
ness than aristOcratic seeluslon. HIS
habituaI state Is not one TO recommend
him to polite attention, and II the lace

Southern and Northern Cotton Mills

The st. Louis Republican considers
It a fact worth making a note of, that
while nearly all the New England cotton
mills have been running on short time
for nearly a year, and several of the
largest of them have been compelled to
suspend work entirely, the mills In the
south have generally been running up
to their full capacity all through the
dull times, and still IN full operation.
Tt is true these southern mills are not

dends they declared prior to 1873, but

THE July returns to the department
of agriculture shows that the acreage in
corn is about three per cent. greater
than last year. New England has in
creased her acreage about eleven per
cent. and the Pacific states about one
per cent. All the great corn growing
regions have increased acreage-Mid-
ele states two per cent, South Atlantic
states three per cent. Gulf states, in
land southern states, twelve per cent,
states north of Ohio seven, west of the
Mississippi fourteen per cent. The
condition of the crop is below an aver
age in the New England and South At
lantic states. The minimum condition,
eighty two per cent, being in Rhode
Island, Florida and Alabama are also
below the average. but other Calf
states and inland southern states are
about the maxim m, 112 in Mississippi.
All other states except Missouri, 103
are below the average, the minimum
eighty-two being in Wisconsin.

THE clerical newspapers in France
speculate on the causes of the great
flood with some asperity. 1t appears
that the municipal council of Toulouse
recently refused to erect a statue to
''the glorious and miraculous shep-
herdess of Pibrac, " and one of the coun-
ciIors said, "We prefer a fountain. >
Whereupon the Gazette de Mines now
remarks, "GOd has fulfilled the wish of
these honorable councillors and sent a
fountain to the capital of Laguedoc
which they little expected. Had the
town voted the required sum Divine
Providence" " says the editor, ''would
never have treated Toulouse so Sc.
verely." 1t is understood that the
bishop of Chartres is of the same
opinion.

Liverpool have reported that they called
upon the authorities of the American
steamship company, and they favored
the project. The company would allow
the growers to ft up the steerage for
ward cabin with their refrigerators,
which can be done with five hundred
dollars for each vessel. This portion of
the ship would hold $4,000 or 10000
baskets, and compartment immedi.
diately underneath could be fitted up
which would carry 5000 additional.
They would charge the growers for the
shipment of this amount of fruit to
Liverpool about two thousand dollars,
and give them the privilege of sending
out an agent free of charge with each
consignment.
