From his recent lecture, Fashions
and Kindred Subjects" we cut the fol-
lowing, giving his opinion on woman
One difference between animal and
human is, God has given the latter do
minion over earth. The gift was made
to woman, not so much to man.
daughter And she should wear the
breeches; if she did, affairs would be
better conducted than they are. Her
influence over men is immense, and
always has been. Adam couldn't resist
his wife. The Establishments of old
mother Eve induced him to eat of the
forbidden fruit. / don't blame him
much; had l been in Adams place,
should have done it too. Laughter
Men will take apples when offered by
the ladies', and couldn't like the man

man has the control, and | am in favor
of her dominion. From the tiger down,
the female has the mastery. 1t Is her
benevolence that has given her the reins
of government. Laughter We are
all under God. When an animal dies,
humiliation follows. Woman has an
immortal soul if man hasn't Laughter
But if he is ever saved it is through the
intervention of woman. Our hearts,
like mulflcd drums, are constantly beat

These cane-brake women always manage
their husbands. 1t is best TO yield to

Here, it will be observed that between
the years 1860 and 1870 the number of
mills decreased from 166 to 154, while
the number OF spindles was increased
AZ, $50, or about IA per cent. This indi-
Gates a material enlargement in the size
of the factories. Turning to the statis-
tics for 1875, we find that the entire
number of mills operated in that year
was ISL and the number of spindles 49,
795, an increase of q compared with
1870 and Is compared with 1860; alse,
an increase of 1876, 1S9 and 1859 spin
dies compared with 1870 and 1860, re-
spectively. In other words, this indus
try appears, in most localities, to have
more than regained the loss OccasiOned
by the war, and in the aggregate shows
complete recovery. Previous to the
war, North Carolina took the lead fol-
lowed by Georgia and Tennessee, respec-
lively; the first named in 1860 having
in operation 80 mills, Georgia SO mills,
and the latter named state 80 mills.
During the past fifteen years, however,
quite change has occurred. In 1875
Georgia ranks foremost, with AZ mills
and 131, $40 spindles, followed by Ten.
nessee with 80 mills and 5000 spindles;
North Carolina 81 mills and 81 400 spin
dies, and Alabama with IA mills and
So, $50 spindles. On the average Ala
hama has ALT spindles per mill; Geor-
gia, 2,796; North Carolina, 1,755, and
Tennessee, 1884. 1t will be observed
that the industry has increased more
rapidly in Georgia than in any other
state, and if attended with success, the
new mills now in course of construction
there will give the Empire State of the
South" still more prominence. Even
now it ranges ninth in position among the
prominent cotton manufacturing states
of the Union.

and Macaulay made no "fuss." 1t was
not that he was dull and wanting in sen
sitiveness, but he knew that complaint
and explanation would do no good. He
| felt about it as about Creker's and Lock-
hart's difference in regard to the Quar-
terly's review of his history: "How
they settle the matter care not, as the
duke says, one twOpenny damn"
But the most delightful revelation of
the life is that of Macaulay's fond affec-
ton for his sisters and their families, and
his constant domestic fun and fooling, as
well as tender care and consideration for
the young people. He was, in certain
sense, a great boy, and his affection for
children made him their playfellow and
jester to the end of his life. He wrote
amusing nonsense, and was as full of fun
with them as Thackeray. He writes to
one of his young aieces in 1912:
"Michaelmas will, l hope, find us all at
Chaplain over a noble goose. De you re-
member the beautiful Puseyite hymn on Mi
chaelmas-day? 1t is great favorite with all
although Quakers scowf, thong th dfsliqnld learn
howl,
Though Plymouth brethren rage,
We churchmen gay will wallow to-day
In apple-sauce, onions, and sage.
"Ply knife and fork, and draw the cork,
And have the bottle handy,
For each slice of goose will introduce
thimbleful of brandy.
Is it not good? wonder who the author
can be. Not Newman, L think. 1t is above
him. Perhaps it is Bishop Wilberforce."
He was always inventing games and
playing them, and acting dramas with
the children; and the idol of Holland
House and the pride of Englishmen was
the ringleader in the nursery of his sis
ters' children, marching up and down
stairs, blowing horns, and playing rob-
bers and tigers behind the sofa. Fer his
sisters his affection was most beautiful
and touching. ILdeed, the glimpses of
domestic life in both volumes are charm
ing; Life and Letters Of Lord Macaulay
will greatly endear him to the public,
and that they will hold their place among
the most interesting and satisfactory Of
literary biographies.

The London Spectator calls Mr.. A.
Stewart :" the emperor of shopkeepers,"
and pronounces his reported estate of
fl6, 900, 900 sterling perhaps the largest
fortune that was ever at one ,man's dis
posal, and certainly the largest that was
ever made out of shop, or accumulated
by trade Of any kind, in one mans life
tirAe. 1t is four times the fortune &C.
CURED by the late Mr.. Morrison, five
times that of Mr.. Thornton, two and a
half times the highest estimate ever
formed of the wealth of Mr.. Brown, of
Liverpool, and probably exceeds that of
any business man now alive and without
partners, except, perhaps, Commodore
Vanderbilt, the American railway spec
u'ator, who is credited by rumor-which
may, however, be exaggerated-with a
larger accumulation still.

Before fine audience, in the evening,
Sexton, in his encounter with Rudolphe,
made the most brilliant run ever recorded
in the history of American billiards
two hundred and fifty one were the fig
ures. The first game had been between
GARNER and Cyrille Dion, the latter
winning with an average of Is $40. 1t
was supposed that Rudolphe and Sexton
would furnish good sport, but no one
for a moment dreamed of such result as
that announced above. Rudolphe, win
ming the lead, made a run of 8, followed
by Sexton with double that number.
In the fourth inning Rudolphe made
neat Is, and in the next Sexton had the
wisfastnue to foul on his own ball while
in an easy position for his opponent, who
Immediately started and scored seventeen.
He froze, but recovered himself on the
balls being spotted, and added seven more.
Thus far luck was decidedly against
Sexton. His plays were we'll Judged and
we'll executed, but despite his best efforts
he was unable to make any Roadway, the
balls persisting in remaining as far apart
as the limits of the table would permit,
and the cue-ball generally being in just
such position as to make counting al
most impossible In the tenth inning
Rudolphe succeeded in scoring thirty
seven, and then "froze" and missed. In
this inning Sections ill-luck seemed to
vanish as if by magic, and he commenced
the great run we have alluded to. He
first drove the balls into the right-hand
lower corner and then, by series of beau
tiful plays, succeeded in nursing them
along the cushion to the upper-corner of
the table, where, by care, he kept them
until he had made one hundred and fif-
teen points. At this point the balls be-
came separated, and the next dozen or
so of plays were all over the table. On
scoring one hundred and thirty-twO the
balls came into a straight line, but by
beautiful follow kiss, which was uproari-
ously applauded, he got them under con-
troll again, and continued to play until
he reached two hundred and thirteen.
This, being one more than the largest run
on record (three-ball game), was ap-
plauded as no other in this tournament
has been. The excitement was SO great
for time that Sexton was compelled to
cease playing. As soon as quiet was re-
stored, he continued, still nursing the
balls along the cushions until he made
the unprecedented run of two hundred
and fifty -one. Rudolphe then commenced
the next inning, but after making run
of eleven, showing the balls in the corner,
Sexton claimed "push," and the ref
cree agreeing with him, Rndolphe stepped
down and out, leaving the balls well set
for his opponent. Sexton Immediately
took in the situation, and with cool pre-
cision proceeded to run the game out.

MAC.4ULAY.

Macaulay's powers of literary acquisi-
ton and retention were enormous, and
his treasures of knowledge we're perfectly
we'll ordered. He said once that he was
not quite sure of the chronological series
of the popes, for he became confused
among the Innocents. But the variest
school-boy could say his Archbishops of
Canterbury backward. And on the spot
he went through the list straight back to
Cranmer, when he was laughingly stop
ped. His faculty of expression was also
remarkable, so that, although never in
the highest sense poetic or passionate,
his style is distinctive. 1t is often arti-
fetal, but seldom ineffective. Its an
tithesis is unequaled in English litera-
ture, and its description has all the gilt
ter of an actual pageant. After the
publication of his essay upon Warren
Hastings, he wrote to the editor of the
Edinsurgh Review that he grudged him
the picture of the trial in Westminster
Hall, because he should want it for the
history. This famous passage is per-
haps the most characteristic of Macau-
lays descriptions, and the fine antith-
esis of the puritans, eff he was unac-
ouainted with the works of philosophers
and poets, he was deeply read in the Or
aclcs of God" etc, is the most splendid
specimen of his antithesis.
His works show, also, what is very
clearly revealed in the life, his good sense.
What we call by this name may be alto
gether fact of temperament, but he had
it in high degree. He unwarily wrote
a Letter from Windsor and dated it from
Windsor Castle. There was general
bantering cutlery at his snobbery. Sir
James Graham sneered in the house OF
commons, and Thackeray smiled in an
essay, but with very gentle satire, for
he had true affection for Macaulay, as
he showed when he died. The oppOsi-
ton Journals ridiculed him unsparingly.
But Macaulay was not in the least dis
turbed. The thing was done. 1t was a
mistake, but explanation was useless.

"winced" when he thought of it. But
he did not make the further mistake oil

The Times was at one time very con

ACCORDING to correspondent of the

COTTON MANUFAC TORIES.

The following summary of southern
cotton manufactures, which we copy
from the New York Daily Bulletin:
There has been noteworthy increase
in the number of cotton manufacturing
establishments in the southern states
during the past five years; and though
the advance is probably less than it
would have been had there been fewer
burthens upon capital by political dis
fractions and labor troubles, the increase
in the number of spindles is an impor-
tant industrial fact. Annexed is state
ment showing the number of mills and
spindles worked in the years 1860, 1870,
and 1875:

NIPOLEON'S H4PPIES7 D.IY.

When Napoleon was in the height of
his prosperity, and surrounded by bril-
liant company of the marshals and
courtiers of the empire, he was asked
what day he considered to have been
the happiest of his life.
When all expected that he would
name the occasion of some glorious
victory, or some great political triumph,
or some august celebration, or other
signal recognition of his genius and
power, he answered, without moments
hesitation, "The hapPiest day of my
life was the day OF my first communion. I"

THE WEEK PAST.

.CRor prospects in almost every section
appear to be looking as favorably as could
possibly be wished, though Throughout
the southwest there is more or less COM
plant of a lack of rain. Corn and cot
ton are both suffering from this cause,
particularly in Texas. In some portions
of that state the inevitable chinch bug
has made its appearance. From the
northwest the information is favorable,
we except some reports from northern
Illinois and Iowa, where it is said but
little small grain is in sight yet. In the
middle states the prevalence of unseason.
ably cold weather is drawback; SO far.
however, it has not been attended with
any very serious results. Tobacco ex-
cePted, the prospects in our own state
were never more favorable than at pres
