For this and other reasons. business was very

The rainy weather Of the last fer weeks
has interfered considerably with farm work.
It was the intention Of number Of planters
to commence laying by about this time, as the
cane crop was far enough advanced for that
purpose. We are told that several planters
had already commenced to lay by, but bad To
grass has been growing in the meantime,
and consequently our planters will be some-
what set back. Nevertheless the crop Is go
far advanced that very little damage will
occur from these rains. Altogether, the pr0s-
never was brighter-[Ibervile South

The New York Shipping List has this to
say concerning American competition In
manufactures.
It is good thing TO learn that American
manufacturers are sending their agents to
various parts Of the world to exhibit their
goods in competition with those of other ma
tions, and TO solicit orders. 1t Is better still
to learn that in some cases they are beginning
to share in the trade with foreign houses, and
in others are distaneing competition. The
palmer sorts OF our cotton fabrics have been
introduced into England side by side with
English goods, and have been pronounced,
both In price and texture, superior to the lat
ter. In China, American cOttons are begin
ming to push the cheaper British cottons
out of the market. There may be exagera-
tions to some extent in the reports that
have reached us on the subject but It ia
clear that in England there is serious
| alarm at the progress we are making in
manufactures in which the British have here
tofore excelled. 1t may be true as Mr.. Rogers
atfil ms, whose cutlery has acquired the high
est reputation, that II it were not for our pro-
tectIve tariff he could beat us In price and
| quality in our own market. But in common
hardware, In many manufactures of steel, In
cutting tools, axes, agricultural implements,
and in some kinds of machinery the English
makers have fallen behind ours, and even In
| pottery we are making such steady progress
that the falling off in the importation OF the
| lower grades has been very great, whilst
| bIleES mas DeeH u InbIkS6 Improvement IN
certain kinds of better ware and In its orna-
mentation. Our machine-m watches have
driven the skilled workmen Of Switzerland to
despair though the cheap clocks Of Germany
have given place 70 those OF New England;
1 In other branches Of industry 1t Is conceded
that we excel. These reports, coming from
outside parties and from business men, who
care nothing for nationality, and only look to
/ the quality and relative cheapness OF the
things they sell, ought to be In the highest
| degree encouraging.

The marine and fisheries department OF
Canada have received most encouraging re-
ports from the salmon and lobster packing

salmon were canned this season at Maria by
the end of May where no more than $1,000
pounds had been packed during the same PEE
rlod Of last year. Alta single salmon canning
establishment in Dalhdusie no less than 40O
salmon were received In one day, the owner
being compelled to refuse great many more

A Colossal u panese God.

The village of Komakoura Is like all Japa-
nese villages. We enter O valley which be-
comes more and more narrow, and the car
riages stop amid green hillocks at the gate Of
a sacred forest. On the right and left of the
gate stand enormous, grimacing red statues
in their inches. They guard the holy spot
High above the trees comes out the immense
head Of Dai-boutz, like hill Of black bronze
Finally we come In front OF the colossus. The
Bouddha Is sitting squat, with his legs
crossed; he Is In an attitude of meditation,
his hands are folded, palms up and the nails
touching each other. In front of the idol are
vases, lanterns and candelabra OF twice the
size OF a man, The colossus himself Is over
sixty-tive feet high. There Is Waterman TO
the sanctuary, q young bone, OF an aScetic,
but sharp and wide-awake look. We address
him few questions concerning his god. He
does not know anything, or pretendS not to
know. But he sells champagne and beer, and
seems TO mind his trade much more than his
divinity
There Is door in the base of the statue,
and we get inside Of it. A very complicated
sanctuary has been established in the colos-
sus Daf-boutz has whole Olympus in his
body. Gilt wooden figures are stuck up
against each other as closely as the pipes OF
a church organ. There are chapels in his
ribs and in his elbows. His spine is sacred
one by the way} leading to little sanctuaries
established In his shoulders. A deity OF some
kind is placed inside the head, and the cavity
of the nose is niche for saint All the su-
pernatural beings who preside over the des-
TIMES of the world are represented here It
is plainly to be seen here that these numer-
GUS idols are personifications OF particular
qualities of one and the same god. AS at the
Acropolis of Athens, as in the sanetuaries of
Egypt as ON the facades Of India, the null
tipIicity of figures indicates not q multiplicity
of gods, buE the numerous attributes, the
varied qualities, the infinite powers Of one
divine and symbolic figure.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1878-07-09

The figures recently published of the for
elgn trade Of this country for the first eleven
months of the fiscal year 1s77-7S reveal the
most extraordinary commercial movement on
record in the history of this country Ex-
Guiding the precious METALS the excess Of ex-
ports amounted TO $245 $4,000. while for the
corresponding period of the preceding year
the balance, Tn Its time considered very large,
was Sl55, 1877 900. The movement Of the pre-
clous metals was reversed during the year.
The ordinary net export of specie has been
about S55,0OO,0Oo, but during these eleven
months the net shipments have been less than
$2,OO0,000. The specie that has usually been
sent abroad has been retained in the country
TO prepare for the resumption Of specie pay
ments.
