American Cotton Goods in Sweden.

The report of the United States Min
lister to Sweden and Norway, Mr.. An
drews, for the year 1875, contains so
many matters of interest to the som-
merce of Great Britain that it has been
reprinted in London. Among many
other things which is of interest to Brit
ish as well as American manufacturers
is the statement of Minister Andrews
respecting an experiment made by a
Stockholm house in the importation of
cotton manufactures from the United
States. During the season of 1875, the
report says cotton cloths and prints of
excellent quality were imported from
Boston. The experiment has shown
that some styles of American calicoes
can be imported at profit of 10 per
cent, Notwithstanding the Swedish duty
is Is cents pound in weight in coin.
The house in question was SO well pleas
ed with its experiment that it took steps
to make additional importations of cot
ton manufactures from the United
States. The Minister further states that
cotton Irvine for fish nets was imported
during the year from Boston both into
Sweden and Norway.

SEPTEMBER.

There sounds rustling in the standing corn;
There hangs a bright-cheeked apple on the
bough
And later fingers now the tardy morn.
And evening shadows gather sooner now.
Oae crimson branch flames mid the maple wood;
One red leaf hides amid the woodb,nes green
And clean raked fields lie bare. where lately stood
The tawny grain amid the summer scene.
Blue gentians show mid meadow-grasses scar,
And from the stubble, shrilI the crickets sung:
A requiescat DER the falling year
All sounds seem sadly chOrusng.

hard TIMES have been known in this
country before this. a Pittsburg Mer-
curry of August /, 1920, states that an
unprecedented state of embarrassment
prevailed throughout the country, in
every branch of business nine-tenths
of the people were in debt, and while
sheriffs and constables' sales were adj
vertised for nearly everybody, it was
seldom that real sale was effected, and
then at a price ridiculously below actual
value. Grain was sold at from eight to
fourteen cents a bushel, good sheep at
fifty cents eac1, and other things in pro-
portion

MISTAKEN IDENTIFY.

A singular case OF mistaken identity
has just occurred in Ohio. Charles
Sterling, the Youngstown murderer,
who was hanged in that village yester-
sday, was sentenced to be executed on
the 18th of March. Three days before
sthat named for the execution,.a women
}from Canada calledou Governor Young
at Columbus. and secured a respite of
twenty-five days for Sterling. She
then visited the prisoner, whom she
supposed to be her son, but he refused
ito recognize her or acknowledge her as
his mother, although she .fe,l,upon his
fnecz, kissed him aud wept bitterly.
The peer woman left the Jail almost
tDroken hearted, under the impression
tthat her son was to be executed. and
that her hayward boy had disowned
sher. A few days ago she discovered
that she had made mistake, and that
Sterling, the condemned murderer, was
mot her son, and that she had been
made the victim of a cruel hoax.

AN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

According to the San aFrsncisco
Call, Virginia Enterprise, and in fact
ssev~ral other journals, the San Fran
scisco Chronicle is the most Influential
journal published, not ouly on the
Pacific Coast, but in the United States.
The Call and Enterprise, do not. desire
amor intend to convey this idea to the
public, yet it is the logical inference OF
what they say of the Chronicle.
They attack it as if it controlled the
stock market and sent bonanza or wild
cat shares, up or down at will. Two
years ago it vas believing bull. ard
stock went up all along the line; now
it IS a rampant bear, with arms encir-
cling the Stock Boards and steadily
squeezing them to death in it's em brace.
Two years ago, they say. it held stock
lin the bonanzas aud had Sc fs mott es
in buliing them; nov it is not stock
holder. hence its -seifshuess us appar-
ent in bearing thea.
They tacitly admit that the power Of
the Chronicle to bull or bear the mar
ket. is more potent than that of the
heaviest operator, yet intimate that its
influence is pnrchasable. If such is
the fact, the owners of the Comstcck
are foolish in not " seeing it at once.
for even though the "sght" should
cost a million. it would be a profitable
j investment
