British Exports to the United States

A statement showing the exports of the
principal articles of British and Irish products
and manufactures from the United Kingdom
to the United States for the seven months
ending July 81, 1878, as compared with the
corresponding period of 1877, has been pre-
pared at the Bureau of Statistics. The de-
crease in some of the articles is quite notice
able as favorable to the industries of this
country. For instance, cotton piece goods
have decreased from AZ, 600 to %, 8S2, ,OoO
yards, or nearly 80 per cent; linen piece goods
from 50, ,SO9, 900 to 45, ,910. 900 yards, or 1874
per cent; silk broadstuffs from 1872, 44 to
l25, 794 yards, or 344 per cent. A favorable
increase is in the number of empty grain
bags sent hlther this year, which number
All, 900, against PAS, 900 for the same time
last year, indicating an increased movement
of grain outward. Worsted stutfs have in
creased slightly, while the quantity of wool
sent has decreased from 958, ,281 to 26O, ,678
pounds, equal to 70 per cent.

Blaine's speech.

MINNEAPOLIS. Sept, Ex-senator Blaine,
in his address, congratulated the people on
the great harvest, evident thrift and prosperity
and wonderful growth of the northwest and
especially of Minnesota. His speech was
laigely devoted to a sketch of history of the
State He said, in conclusion: am address,
ing an agricultural community. During all
the depression of trade and commerce and
manufactures prevailing for the past five
years, you have steadily progressed in COM
fort, independence and wealth. While thous-
ands elsewhere have lacked employment, and
many l fear, have lacked bread, no able
bodied man in Minnesota has been without
renumerative labor, and no one has gone
to bed hungry. Your pursuits and their re-
suits from the basis of the ideal republic, hap
PLY, indeed, realized within your own bor-
ders. You are land owners, freeholders, a
proud title that came to us with centuries of
civilization and strength. Self-government
among the owners of the soil in America is
an instinct, and where that ownership is
widely distributed good government is the
rule. Whatever disturbances, therefore, may
threaten the peace and order of society, what
ever wild theories, transplanted from other
clmes, may seek foothold here, the republic
of the United States rests securely on that
OASIS OF agriculture, wnele tne FARMERS ol
the revolution and the farmers of the con-
stitution placed it, Gradually the govern
ment of the republic is passing under the
control of the farmers of the Mississippi val
ley. Indeed, it is practically there to-day.
The swelling and on rushing tide of popula-
ton is towards the broad plains and rich
acres that lie between the two mountain
ranges of the continent. Many of you to-
day mingle with your love for Minnesota
your earlier affection for the old home and
the old State far to the East, where an honored
ancestry lie buried, and where the tenderest
memories cluster around the familiar scenes
of days long past. 1t is the kinship of blood,
these ties of relationship, that makes US in
deed one people, uniting the East and the
South, in the indissoluble bonds of common
and trust, always benefcent government.

IN mERoRY OF SPANS FAIR QUEEN
A Magnificent Tomb to be Erected over
Her Remains.

Her Remains.
MADRID, Aug. 1O.-King Alfonso has de-
cided on having an immense basilica raised
over the remains of Queen Mercedes A sum
of 1000, 900 reals will be deducted annually
from the civil list for its construction till the
building is completed. The Duke de Mont
pensier and the Princess of the Asturias have
promised to furnish yearly 20O,O reals in
aid of the work. The Duke took to Paris
with him q letter from the King to his mother,
the ex-Queen Isabella, asking her to join in
the project by giving the diamonds and jewels
deposited in the cathedral of AtOcha belonging
to her, and representing sum of more than
5000, 900 francs.
The Queen at once telegraphed as follows:
My con, the Duke de Montpensier has just
brought me letter. I see that, like Catholic,
King and gentleman, you seek consolation
in God, and think of Mercedes in doing good
to the capital. You are going to place her
beloved remains at the feet of the virgin, be-
meath magnificent temple. Your mother,
my child, not only permits the jewels at Atocha
to be sold, but she blesses you and joins in
your project-a project worthy of King. a
Christian and good husband. For this and
everything count always, Alfonso, on the
immense love, the support and co-operation
of your mother, who wishes it to be known
that, although at distance, she is and always
will be the same for Madrid, for Spain and
for her King.

a Just Verdict.

A singular case was brought
to q close, after protracted suit
in the Court of Common Pleas of
New York, on the 21st ult. Mr..
William r. Hynes, of st. Louis,
a gentleman possessed of con-
siderable property, formed the
acquaintance of a lady in Lon
don in 1871, and, while no mar
riage ceremony was performed,
lived with and acknowledged
her as his wife. After the birth
of two children, about a year
ago Mr.. Hynes was thrown from
his carriage and received fatal
injuries. When he recovered
consciousness the first words he
uttered were a request that his
.wife and children might be
brought to him. After his death
his sisters administered to his
estate in this country on the rep
resentation that he had died un-
married and intestate. Mrs.
Hynes came to New York, where
the property is situated, with
her children, and the suit which
has terminated has brought to
test the question whether her al
lance with the deceased was a
marriage recognized as valid by
the law. The case was fought
with much bitterness by the rel
atives Of the deceased, by whom
the services Of q private detec-
tive agency had been called into
rcquisition to ferret cut the life
! history Of tho plaintiff in the
suit. The detectives discovered
nothing to her discredit. The
verdict was given without hest
tation for the plaintiff, the jury
evidently eing convinced that

The clock in Trinity Church
tower is the heaviest in Ameri-
ca. 1t might seem that in its
construction an effort had been
made to ascertain how much
metal could possibly be planted
in clock. The frame stands
nine feet long, five feet high,
and three feet wide. The main
wheels are thirty inches in di-
ameter. There are three whe eels
of the time train, and three each
in the strike and in the chime.
The winding wheels are formed
in solid casting, thirty inches in
diameter and two inches thick,
and are driven by a opinion and
arbor." On this arbor is placed
a jack, or another wheel, pinion
and crank, and it takes $50 turns
of this crank to wind each
weight up. 1t requires 700 feet
of three-inch rope for the three
cords, and over an hour for
two mon to wind the clock.
The pendulum is eighteen feet
long, and oscillates twenty-five
times per minute. The dials
are eight feet in diameter, al
though they look little more
than half that size from Broad
way. The three weights are
eight hundred, twelve hundred,
and fifteen hundred pounds re-
spectively. A large box is
placed at the bottom Of the well
that holds about a bale Of cot
ton waste, so that if q cord
should break, the cotton would
check the conclusion.
