Russia has deviated from the general policy
of manufacturing nations, In imposing duty
on cotton. Raw material that cannot be pro-
duced at home Is generally admitted free Of
duty. The course Russia has adopted will
tend to injure young industry which stands
In need Of nursing, and as cotton cannot be
grown In that country home industry will In
no way be protected or encouraged.

Advices from Washington are to the effect
that the House Committee on Commerce. not
withstanding Its previous determination to
the contrary, will probably report river
Of Congress, making an appropriation Of not
less than $3,oOO,0OO The ground Of objection
to making such report at this session was
the Illegal discrimination Of the Secretary Of
War against the South In his expenditure Of
the last appropriation, but the misunder-
standing on this point Is said to have been
satisfactorily adjusted.

Does Smoke Blaoken Buildings.

Prof. Paley has raised tho question.
whether the blackness Of st. Paul's Ca
thedral, and many other English city
ediftces, arises, as has hitherto been
supposed, from smoke. Having observ-
cd at Cambridge stones in nowise ex-
exposed to the action of smoke similar-
ly blackened, he learned on inquiry
that under strong microscopic invest
igation of scrapings from such stones,
