A British opinion on American manufac.
lures, which is worth putting on record, is
contained in the report Of Edward NJ Archi-
bald, Consul General Of Great Britain al
New York. He shows adecrease of nineteen
millions Of dollars in the value of ''dry goods
imported into the city of New York in 1876,
as compared with 1875, and explains the
causes Of the decrease to have been increas.
ing competition Of domestic fabrics and econo.
my on the part of consumers. He says that
British worsted stnffs, alpacas, poplins, hosi.
cry and underelothing Of low and medium
grades are being either wholly or 70 a great
extent supplhnted by home manufactures.
sin fact says the Consul, Sin a CONNER.
cial point Of view the United States and Great
Britain may be said in certain respects 10 be
changing places, and with rapidity which
no one anticipated, though it has long been
perceived that the tendency has been that
way. The excellence of some of the Ameri
can manufactures, particularly of metals and
cotton, is manifest, and cannot Justly be de.
scried by British importers. On the contrary,
sagacious manufacturers who visisted the
Centennial Exhibition have fully admitted
that the decline in wages and raw materials in
the United States, and the ample labor-say-
ing appliances, coupled with the intelligence
and excellence Of the work Of the artisan,
must Of necessity produce formidable com

The CREsoEST. The crescent was the
ancient symbol of Byzantium, now Constan.
tinonle. Philip, the father Of Alexander the
Gredk, having planted his hosts against that
city, and pushed the siege for time without
effect, at length conceived the plan Of under.
mining the walls At night, that his troops
might enter and take the place by surprise.
The first dark night he set about the work, his
engineers having examined and decided
where the mining could be most easily and
successfully done, which was under section
of the wall on the west side Of the city. The
work was fairly commenced, when suddenly
a rift in the thick clouds revealed the bright
face of the new moon; and this new moon,
thus, as by a miracle, uneurtained, revealed
TO the watchman in the towers the works Of
the enemy, and the design OF Philip was
frustrated, and the city saved. Believing that
Heavenly power had given them the CLEANS
of the crescent moon for their deliyerance,
the Byzantines IN token Of grateful Feinem-
brance, adopted the crescent as their national
symbol The Moslems found itat Byzantium,
and retained it. fr
