HOW AMERICA CROWDS ENGLAND.

In giving his impressions of America, in
a leading English periodical, a recent Eng
lish visitor remarks that the Russo Turkish
war ought to have shown the American
manufacturers that they nave little reason
to fear the English. So far as he has been
able to learn, not q single cartridge had
been made in Birmingham for either Russia
or Turkey ; but when he WINS at Bridgeport,
the cartridge factories had been running
day and night for months, and he saw a
Russian and Turkish Commissioner in the
same works. The fact was the Americans
had made the rifles as well as the cartridges
for both combatants. A further evidence
of the threatened supremacy of American
manufactures, he noticed that Lowell was
sending cotton cloths to Manchester, and
that, in our retail stores, cotton goods were
marked at a lower price than that at which
goods of the same quality could be sold at
Liverpool or London. 1t is the same, he
said, with the other manufacturing indus
tries Of America. The manufacturers of
hardware are beating us in market after
market from Hamburg to Melbourne. In
Birmingham itself the merchants are i'm
porting from the United States such articles
as axes, hay forks, and agricultural nipple.
ments Of nearly every description, sash
pulleys and small castings Of very many
kinds, although it is estimated that freight
and other expenses adds II or 10 per cent.
to the cost of the goods.

in his hands, and he forgot what to say
next. There was q moment of profound
silence, and then Aurelia took it from him
and went out of the room with it. When
she came back he was gone. They meet
now, but they meet as strangers, and the
eyes that were won't to beam upon each
other with the awakened love light now
glare as though life was an eternal day.
