name of James G.. Blaine for President having
taken rank a. one Of the masterpieces of Amer
can oratory. His powerful political addresses in
this State 10 the last National campaign have al
rendered our people familiar with his remarka-
bile gifts as platform speaker. In company with
hosts of admirers Of Col. lngersolls talents, we
have sincerely regretted his violent assaults upon
religion, which have att arted much criticism
and which in the minds of large portion Of his
couDtrymen have clouded fame and genius that
are rarely cqused, and we are lad 10 learn from
the announcement that the lecture entitlei
"Trsmps." to be delivered here, is an entirely
new and nor. scctsrian discourse. Col. Ingersoll
$ capable Of afording rich int lec'usl feast
when he devotes himself to topics in which him
self and his auditors have common sympathy

against established religion, beliefs is not brought

sympathy for the suffering and interest for the

THE TRADE OF RUSSIA in Central
Asia is in a very prosperous state.
Twenty years ago the arrival of car
avans laden with Asiatic goods was
regarded as an extraordinary event,
while more than $500, 600 pounds of
cotton now come to Russia from Cen
tral Asia yearly. In the three last
summer months about 100000
pounds of cotton from Bokhara and
Khiva were sent by the Orenburg
railway to Mini, Novgorod and Mos
cow. If to this be added the i'm
ports of Turfan cotton, which is no
way inferior to that of the United
States, the result will show that the
Russian cotton spinners have a good
prospect of obtaining in course OF
time almost as important position
in the manufacturing world as those
of England. At present the Russian
wool factories are In a state of con-
slant crisis on account of the politi.
cal events in Europe and America
owing to the fact that they get theii
wool from European seaports. But
the importation of wool from Cen.
trail Asia is increasing SO rapidly tina
