print trade to comparative standStill.
The manufacturers have advanced their
prices for print cloths to such figures
that most ofthe printers will be obliged

The result is, that over 100000 pieces Of

the printers accept their prices. Former

Am ericnn Goods IN England.

From the London World.
One day last week correspondent Of.
the Tines brought a great discovery to
the notice Of that journal in the following
letter: II CHANGED lately to go into a
village shop where cotton goods are sold.
On the counter lay a large piece Of cotton
cloth or calico on which was stamped an
eagle on a rock, occupying len inches,
with the words, This cloth was made In
America and second piece, also Amer.
lean, with the name Of an English firm
as agent, both 4 penny q yard cheaper
than the English Of the same, or rather
inferior, quality"
Nothing more important has ever hap.
pened In the history Of English trade
than the threatened displacement OF our
cotton manufactures by those OF Ameri,
ca. Yet we have for months looked In
vain for word in the "leading journals
on the subject. Piece goods from the
Lonsdale Mills Of New York State are
now sold in every town In England at 4
lower psice and Of better quality thar
English goods Of nominally correspond
ing grade.
The fact Is that tho Americans are
beating US in our own feld-a fact which
II may take the political economists and
city editors a long time to digest, but
which, unfortunately will soon be brought
home to us by the spectacle Of Thousands
Of workingmen thrown permanently out
Of employment, and the hopeless paraly,
sis Of q chief source Of our commercial
prosperity.
We repeatedly told the public last yeal
in these columns that American manuiac
tured cotton could be bought better and
cheaper in London than the products o.
the Lancashire mills. II has taken III,
Times till July, 1877, to find out the same
piece Of news How long will il take oul
contemporary TO apprehend ia full mean
ing and significance?

II almost indispensable necessity of
an ample supply of dust for animals in
winter, is understood by very few stock
growers. All sorts of animals delight
in dust bath. Chickens who have
easy and continual access to it will new.
er be troubled with vermin, either in
their houses or on their bodies. Cattle
delight to stand in a dusty road, scrap
ing it up with their fore-legs and fling
Jig it all over their backs. The cheap
est and most effectual cure for lice on
cattle is to scatter a quart of perfectly
dry dust along the spine, from the horns
to the tail. In Winter, when they can
not get it, many animals become cover
ed with vermin. The writer has q rain
tight wagon-shed, with strips eight
inches wide nailed close to the ground
on three sides, into which halt dozen
wheelbarrow loads OF dust are placed
every Fall. Here the poultry delight
to wallow and roll in the sun. IL is
also kept and used on all other stock at
stated intervals, and no vcrmin of any
sort is ever seen on any of them. This
is at once the most certain remedy for
these pests, while the stock thrives by
being supplied with what they crave,
and what IN a state OF nature they
would surely supply themselves with,
but which they cannot when restrained

The soft white clouds in the evening sky,
With the sunsets light still shining,
Were floating off to the distant hills,
So dark III the days declining.
And down the river, sweet and clear,
"A birds sad song came ringing.

And see the waters rolling.

THE FEARFUL RIDE OF TRAMP.-
He boarded train at Omaha, and after
having been elected from several trains,
he reached Green River. Here the
train men became more Sigilant, and the
dead-head saw that he must find very
secure hiding place. Accordingly,
while the train men were busy, he
crawled into the fire box of a stationary
engine that was sanding Oh flat car,
and which was going through to San
Francisco. Soon after the train started
come one shut the engine door, and the
man was q prisoner. He could not sit
down, and could barely turn around,
and in this way he rode for four days
and nights, without mouthful of fool
or drink, excepting few crackers he
had in his pockets. When the train ar
rived at Verde, Nevada, distance OF
nearly 900 miles from Green River, be

HAUNTED GRoUND.-The Lafayette
Courier of January 9th is responsible
for the following story:
Not long since, as Mr.. Thomas Mel.
son, living in Chehalem valley was re.
turning home from this place, i'm broad
daylight, he saw something, as he says,
resembling kite arise from the ground
only few feet in advance Of him.
When it had got few feet above the
ground it sailed along in front of him
some distance whe;l it diappeared as
Inysteriously as it had arisen. All who
know Tom well know that he is not
easily frightened, nor was lie this time,
bat on the contrary he plunged his
spurs into his horse and endeavored to
overtske the-tbe something-b it
out travelled him and soon vanished.
This occurred short distance this side
of Mr.. Jake Williamson's residence. It
is not the first mystical thing that has
been seen in that locality. At two diff
ferent times . man has been seen lying,
in the road and was run over by wag-
on-the riee and tall of the wheel being
distinctly felt-and when the occupants
alighted to see what il meant there was
nothing there. Al other times some
thing white resembling man, has been
eeen riding at break-neck speed.
Other times it has taken the form of .
sheep. Some men whose courage can
not be doubted are reported having seen
this something near this place.

PoURING OH ON THE WATERS
During a severe storm off the Cape
of Good Hope, the captain of the King
Centric, 1,4O0 tons, determined to make
a trial of throwing oil upon the water.
Two canvas clothes bags were obtained
and into each two gallons of fine Gil
was poured, the bags being punctured
slightly, and flung one over each quar-
ter in tow of the vessel. The effect
was magical the waves no longer broke
over the poop and sides of the ship, but
several yards away where the oil had
spread itself over the surface and around
the poop in the wake of the vessel, was
a large circuit of calm water. The
crew were thus able to repair the dam
age with greater ease, and the ship was
relieved from tremendous shocks she
had previously received from the heavy
seas. The two bags lasted two days,
after which, the wort fury of the gale
having expended itself, no more oil was
used.
