A New Fiber.

We find in the February number of the
PhiLrdeiphiq Forsign INafl an article taken
from the PolytecIaic Revis,c, entitled " A New
Fiber" which we regard as of so much impor-
tance as to justify us in republisliing it. We
are induced to do this, because we wish to call
attention TO this new product, which may be
cultivated on these Islands with entire sue
cess, and thus a new and profitable industry
might be introduced which would repay those
who might engage in it handsomely. 1t will
cost but little to try the experiment, at all
events and we hope some enterprising citizen
will try the experiment, by sending for some
of the seeds or young trees, and have their
growth thoroughly tested on these Islands:
Small quantities Of new variety of fiber are re-
ceived in England from time 10 time, for which a
great demand is likely TO arise if its production
a sufficiently large scale be relied upon. 1t is
The product OF variety of aloe said TO be peculiar
TO MauriiIls or which, at any rate, grows IN album
dauee IN that island, and from the leaves OF which
long hbrous threads OF peculiar tengcity and plia-
bility extracted. The leaves are simply crushed
aud do not require TO undergo the complicated
processes necessary for preparing hemp or fax, so
that The cost OF labor is greatly reduced. Threads

superior 10 any known materia Of similar kind and
a lue made from them will excel 10 tOughness an
!Iou wire OF The same size. AT the same time the
supplrness is such TO obviate all the disadyan-
iHges attending The use ei stiff metal wire. The
parcels Of the fiber which have reached Eng
land have been well reported on by competent
Judges aud the principal difficulty In lbe way OF its
extended use is the limited supply. With careful
cultivation, il is Probable that the growth of the
aloe might be encouraged, aud its introduction
INTO other countries The soil and climate OF which
are suitable for lite production, would much enlarge
lis present limited growth. The aloe will grow in
temperate as we'll in hot elinlstes, aud Is adapted
Tor dry soil. Many other colonies besides Maui
ritus, with its 100 square miles, might attempt its
cultivation. One OF the ehiei properties the ma
tefiol Is that it is believed to be free from the
liability la rot which charaeteriZes all other 6bers
when exposed to the action of salt water. II this
should prove be The case it would be invaluable
for the manufacture OF ships rigging aud Tor sii-
lar purposes.

international Exhibitions.

The Philadelphia Foreign Mail aptly re-
marks: International Exhibitions develop
important facts of universal interest, and make
all parts of the world acquainted with each
other. The Algerian department in the Champ
de Mars astonished even France, which had
no adequate idea of the rapid growth and
wealth Of her most hourishing colony, espe-
uialIy during the past ten years.
Algeria is only about three-ffths the size
of France, and the exports of the colony in
breadstufs alone have risen to SIS 100000 a
year, while the aggregate exports, including
wool, wax, cotton, coral, ETC., reach S35,OOO,-
600 year. Wheat, barley, maize, oats and
hemp are successfully cultivated. The last
census reports $4,000 horses, l37, 900 mules,
l75,0OO asses, l85, 900 camels, 1853, 900 horn
ed cattle, e,458,OOO sheep, and 1856, 900
goats. More than two millions of the Euca-
| iyptus globulus trees have been planted in the
colony during the past ten years. The breath
Of the living tree neutralizes malaria, and the
essence of its leaves is an antidote for typhus
fever.
As market for French manufactures, Al
geria represents demand for over S4O,OOO,-
600 worth each year The foregoing facts
prove what persevering, industrious people
the Algerians have got to be. Their industry
and thrift are said to be almost marvellous,
and the material as well as intellectual pro-
/ gress they are making is one of the wonders
of the age. Thus we have the old adage
verified, that "the hand of the diligent maketh
rich" Had it not been for the international
Exhibition at Paris last year, where the AL
gerians exhibited their progress in arts and
agriculture, that people would have been
unknown as heretofore. But who can put
bounds to the stimulus that has been given,
not only to the Algerians but al other nations,
/ by the spirit of emulation which the Inter
national Exhibitions of the past few years
have engendered, whose fruits will be seen a
/ few years hence. The British Colonies seem
to be alive to the Importance of this matter ii
the two Exhibitions they propose to have il
1879 and 1850. There never was more
truthful saying than that Competition is the
life of trade

Mr.. EDITOR Il know it is difficult matter to
make up correct report of speeches and conven-
tions for newspaper use, but one would think that
the long years of service of this character by the
reporter of the "P. c. Advertiser would have en-
abled him to report more accurately than he has,
the meeting on the labor question held the 18th
inst, at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce.
- present at the meeting:
Mr.. Carter expressed no opinion that the move
ment towards East Indian immigration "nis-
take" He put forward in conversational way,
several most pregnant facts one derived from Lord
Salisbury, that the East Indian Government were
hostile to the emigration OF their people; another
fact, of the immense cost of such undertaking
another the loose habits of the Indians as regards
marriage, &c In fact the information elected from
Mr.. Horne was quite sufficient to convince a can
did mind of the utility and inadvisability of any
further efforts in this direction.
Mr. Rhodes did not say that "he could not agree
with Mr.. Carter" Mr.. Carter did not summarize
his views on this matter, except far as TO say
that when he was in England, after carefully re-
viewing sll the suggested sources of labor and
population supply. he looked TO the Madeiras as
the most promising field
Mr.. Rhodes did not say that "although Mr.. Car
ter had failed 10 accomplish the object for whicl
he was sent on his late mission &c, &c" Mr.
Rhodes bad indeed repeatedly expressed this opin-
ion in the Legislature, in which be holds seat
Noble, and perhaps, the reporter had one of thest
speeches before him when he drafted his report
But this meeting was no place Tor such reflections
Mr.. Rhodes we'll known courtesy would have pre-
vented him from INDUCING in them on this occa-
sion aud in fact, it did. Mr.. Rhodes did not reaC
to the meeting the memorial to the King and Cabi-
net" He rose to read it, but as l remember, som,
remarks by Mr.. Davies gave another turn TO tht
meeting and it adjourned soon otter. no
Mr.. Editor, there many other inaccuracies
in the published report of this meeting as to thu
statements of Mr. Horne, also of Mr.. Carter and o.

Affairs i'm South Africa.

The Zulu war in South Africa is one of
more formidable proportions than was at first
expected. The British nation has just walked
up to the reality that Zululand is not the in
significant spot of earth that people supposed
it to be, nor the Zulu people set of savages
who could be easily overcome by the superior
force of disciplined British soldiers. On the
contrary, the British commanders have found
Zuluand a country full of natural defenses,
and the Zulu people race of hardy and we'll
disciplined troops, well armed and well off,
cered-so much so as to be equal in strategy
to the best of the English officers, and their
troops equal in courage to the best Europeans.
They are well educated in the use of modern
firearms and the esolutions of armies. The
disaster to the British forces was a rather
serious affair The British Commander
Chelmsford acknowledges the loss of fifteen
hundred officers and men in the last affair,
besides the contingent Indian troops, and the
Government has found il necessary to send
out Lord Napier of Magdala 10 take command
of the forces in the Transvaal We more than
suspect that the British loss was far above
fifteen hundred. 1t appears, however, that
the Government of Great Britain has found it
necessary to send ont large number of troops
from England and India, and to appropriate
some ten to fifteen million pounds sterling to
carry on the war with the Zulus. The British
forces seem to be upon the defensive all the
time. The following account of the disaster

a FEMALE GYMsAsr.-0f Leona Dare, the lady
gymuast the Era gives few particulars. From
these we learn that she born in San Francisco
in 1854 that her ambition TO excel in gymnastic
ercises was inspired by visit to Il circus and that
among the most daring Of her eats is to be number
ed a trapeze performance balloon which has
been thus described The balloon was duly inf ted
and at a quarter to s cut loose, and the fine
formed LeOna in circus clothes dangling her head
downwards from the trapeze bar holding in her teeth
a strap which encireled the waist of Tommy Hall
her companion for her hrst voyage in the air, left
terra frma. Everything was still death, and it
was observed that Hall weakened little, but the
plucky Queen Of the Antilles, LeOna, perfectly
cool just as they left the earth Leona CON-
menced spinning Hall around until it made gddy.
After this performance, and about 800 feet in the
air, they commenced their hifalutin performances,
and known in show language as the double trapeze.
They performed all the difficult and hazardous eats
at an altitude of half mile with the reckless
daring. Up, up they went until they we're scarcely
larger than our hands, and when We looked at them
through glass breathed free, and felt relief to
see that they had climbed upon their trapeze bar,
and were enjoying tete a-tete while resting from
their perilous labors. The balloon descended rapid
ly and landed about half mile from the starting
point. in an open field, and our party rode up il
time to witness their alighting. Hall was silent

The British Encounter Two De.
feats.
Two BattaliOnS Put to Flight and
a Fort Retaken

TAsHKEND, Turkestan, March $40 o. m.-The
Afghan ambassa Tors have received an official letter
from Mazarishari. stating that tranquility is rer
established in that city, and Yakoob Khan proclaim
ed Ameer of Cabul A message from Ameer Yakoob
Khan. dated Cabul, Feb 49, had just reached Mazar-
ishari announcing that two English battalons sup
posed about HOO men, had been completely defeated
and pursued by Eldi tribes in Akosta Valley, where
the English had established an administration Of
their own. The Khost region is immedia tely west
of Thul, on the frontier, and southwest of Khurum
Valley, through which the central column of the
Anglo-Indan army invaded the country. The de-
feat was crushing. The British troops also sns.
tanned defeat at Lagna fort angar) at the foot of
the Khonak mountains, aud sixty miles south of
Gazni. This fort was taken by the Edits after
severe fight, and the English Governor, bound with
ropes carried in triumph to Cabul. This fort is
an important post en- the main road between the In.
dus valley and Grizni by way of Gosmal Pass and if
it can be held will serve check to the further
progress of the British in that region. An official
letter announces that the Ameers younger brother,
Ayoub, fonrth son of Shere Ali, aged II, has been
presented to the people and soldiers the new Gov.
ernor Of Mazarishariff, and accepted by them in
place of his uncle, deposed for his treason against
the government.
LONDON, March 10.-The Times correspondent at
Candahar says: "Two thousand members of various
predatory bands are collected thirty miles from
here and are looting villages in the name of the
Ameer and Mahomedanism. Respectable inhabi-
tants incline to assist the British against them but
we're unable to send columns because of scarcity of
transport"
