| IL passing through another period OF extreme
! depression. The demand for goods had just
| begun to show a slight Improvement when
| the rise in cotton began. and it has since been
| found quite impossible to obtain an advance
| in goods at all commensurate with the rise in
the raw material. The greatest depression
at present is in the yarn mills, but this will be
communicated shortly to the cloth mills. 1t
| is reported that the only mills which are do
ing fair business are those which run on
goods adapted to the China trade.
A review Of the export business OF the Brit
ish cotton mills for the past six months shows
that there has been good deal OF variation
for the different countries, but on the whole
an unfavorable condition of affairs. The
countries Of Western Europe have taken
fewer British cotton goods than during the
same time last year, the only exception being
Holland, which took 30000000 yards OF piece
goods. against 26 100000 Germany took only
~, 0OO, 900 yards, against 4l.0O0,O00 last year.
The countries of Southeastern Europe, whose
business Great Britain controls, owing part
ly to political reasons, ABSORBED more cOttOn
manufactures this year than last, the heaviest
increase being in the case OF Turkey, whose
takings We're 155,0000U0 yards, against l33,-
900 yards. ..4. ..T -#...5z
From Egypt there was larger demand
this year than last, and the same IS true OF
South Africa, but from the West Coast OF
Africa there was a considerable falling Off
Asia. with the exception OF British lndla,
took more goods this year than last, the most
marked Increase being in the case OF emma
and Hong Kong, whose takings increased
from ia 900, 900 to 223 900 600 yards Japan in
creased from 100000 to 23,O00,000 yards.
The new cotton mills that are just being
started in that country will not materially
affect the importation Of British cotton goods
for several years to come. The exports to
British India were 574,000,000 yards, against
Col 100000 yards in 1878.
The demand from the United States has
now shrunk to 26Oo0,o0 yards for the half
wear, this being slight increase over the
same time last year. The countries of South
America took fewer British cotton goods this
year than last. The only executions We're
Brazil and the United States of Colombia.
The EXPORTS to Australia fell from 100000
to 27O00000 yards.

The reduced tax on tobacco has been in eff
feet long enough to furnish some Indication
Of its effect on the revenue, and the advocates
of the change find their theories and predio-
tions already confirmed. The reduction Of
the tax from twenty-four cents pound to
sixteen began on the first Of May, and the re-
turns for May and June show a total revenue
of 1921, Isl at the lower rate. as against but
1854, SIT in the corresponding months Of 1873
under the old figures. The great bulk Of this
increase occurred in May, and Is attributable
to the fact that the agitation Of the subject
had largely interfered with sales for several
weeks before; but the revenue for June, when
the business had settled back into its normal
channels, was over fifty thousand dollars
more than for June Of last year. The advo-
Gates Of reduction insisted that the change
would both increase consumption and dmih-
ish the inducements to evasion Of the tax,
and the figures promise to show that they
were right.

To the Editor OF the Herald:
IN view Of the increase of diph-
iberia in several places OF the State
OF New York | hasten to commu-
nicate to you tor publicity very
simple remedy, which, having, been
nsed in Russia and Germany, may
prove effective here. Out of sever
al Others, DIR. Letzerich, who made
extensive experiments in the appli-
cation OF this remedy, has used it
IN twentg-seven cases, eight of
which we're of very serious ma
ture, all of which had favorable
resnlt except in one case, when the
child died from a complication of
diseases. For children Of one year
he prescrihes the remedy, for inter
nal use every ore or two hours, as
follows

For children from one to three
years ole he prescribed it from sew
en- TO eight grammcs for 100 gram
mes of distilled water, with same
syrup; for children from three to
seven years old he prescribed ten to
fifteen grammes, and tor grown per.
sons from fifteen to twenty-five
grarnmcs for each 100 granlmcs.
BESIDES this he uses also with
great success the Installation on :he
diphtherial membrane through

three hours, in light cases three
times a day of the natr. benzoic pull
yer. For grown people he pre-
scribcs tor gargling dilution of
ten grammes of this pulver tor 200

The effect of the remedy is rap

What the Northern Papers Say.
Boston Herald Ind.

The vote on State officers, with
the exception of Governor, is very
close. Cornell secured his election
by the division of the Democrats.
Next year the Democrats will all
be together, in New York as well
as in Massachusetts and every 9TH
er State. This leaves New York
in dispute, and, as it goes, 80 will
go the national election. With a
solid South the Democrats only
need to carry New York and Indi-
ana to elec. their national ticket.
Indiana is as surely Democratic as
Massachusetts is Republican. So
the national hinges on New York,
and is doubtful, with the indlca-
tons in favor of the Democrats.
From the n. Y. Herald. Iud.
The thoughtful and intelligent
part of the republican press are
very far from exulting over the sue
cess OF their party in eIecting Mr..
Cornell. They find more Of warn
ing than of encouragement in
victory which is due to the demo-
cratic split. Mr.. Cornell is not
elected by a majority, but by a
mere plurality. The two democrat
ic candidates for Governor have re.
ceived twenty five or thirty thou
sand more votes than were given to
the republican candidate. The ma
tural interence-the inference which
democrats throughout the country
are sure to Graw--is that a demo.
cratic candidate for the Presidency
popular enough to reunite the par
ty in New York has excellent
chances for carrying the State next
year. That is tu say, Presiden-
tial candidate who should receive
all the votes given to both Robin
son and Kelly would distance a
candidate receiving only the votes
given to Cornell. The aggregate
vote of 1880 will indeed be larger
than the aggregate vote of 1879;
but if the same proportions are
the reunited democracy
would sweep the State.
From the N. 7. Times, Radical
Here are the obvious facts:-The
democrats had two candidates for
Governor, the republicans one.
The "boiting" democratic candi-
date obtained a vote of at least
65 900 throughout the S. ate, or
%, 900 more than the estimated |
majority of the regular republican
over the regular democratic candi
date. In other words, If the vote
On Governor be held to be a test OF
republican and democratic strength
in this State The republican party
has been shown 20 be in minority |
of $4,000 votes.

A Mountain of Glass.

Another marvel recently brought
to light in the Yellowstone park of
North America, is nothing less
than a mountain of obsidlan, or
volcanic glass Near the foot OF
the Beaver lake band of explor-
ers came upon this remarkable
mountain, which rises at that place
in columnar cliffs and rounded bos-
ses to many hundreds of feet in at
litude, from kissing hot springs at
the margin of the lake. As it was
desirable to pass that way, the par
~ had to cut road through the
steep grassy barricade. Thus they
effected by making hugo fires on
the glass to thoroughly heat and
expand it, and then dashing the
GOLD water of the lake against the
grassy surface, SO as to suddenly
cool and break it up by shrinkage,
Large fragments were in this way
detached from the solid side of the
mountain, then broken up small by
sledge-hammess and picks, not,
however, without severe lacerations

A Curious Historical Fact.

During the reign of Charles |, Il
country girl came to London in
search OF place as servant maid,
but not succeeding she hired her
shelf to carry ont beer from ii ware
house, and was one of those called
tub women. The brewer observing
IL good looking girl in this low oc-
cupation, .ook her into his family
as a servant and after short time
married her. He died while she
was yet young woman, leaving
her the bulk of his fortune. The
business of brewing was dropped.
Mr.. Hyde was recommended to
the Young woman as most skill
ful lawyer, TO arrange her hus-
bands affairs. Hyde, who was
afterwards Earl of Clarenon, find
ing the widows fortune was con-
siderable, married her. BY this
marriage there was no other issue
than daughter who afterwards
became the wife of James H.. and
mother of Mary and Anne queens Of
England.

Our Public Lands.
What Acting Commissioner armstrong has
to say in HIS Report.
IFrom the Washington Post. !

From the Washington Post.I
The annual report of the Cons
missioner of the General Land Oh
fee was submitted yesterday to the
Secretary of the Interior by Hon.
). M. Armstrong, acting Commits
sloner. There was surveyed during
the year S,445 781 acres of public
lands, and l,o39,214 acres of pri-
vate lands, making a total of o.
4S4. 995 acres. The total area SUR
veyed since the he ginning of oper-
atlons TO the close Of the fiscal year
is 734 59l,236 acres. leaving vet to
be surveyed 1,0SO, ,197 CSC acres of
the total area OF the States and
Territories; which, therefore, is
9.s14. .6SS, ,922 acres. The report
gives In detail the disposal If lands

veys made in the several States
and the special surveys made of
Indian reservations, etc. Timber
culture, desert land entries, and
giants for railroads, wagon and
canals are also treated of, and the
decisions governing all cases where
the grants have come before the
courts are given. A statement of
the mining claims issued during
tho year accompanies the report.
As the Commissioner is by law
made the auditor of all public ac-
counts relative to the public lands,
be devoted some space in his docu-
ments to this of his office. The
reservation of public lands for mil
ltary purposes also receive atten-
ton. The Commissioner states
that there has been nothing done
by Congress towards the suppress
sioa of timber depredations saved
the act of CoEgles ess of March 6.
1879, which $4,000 was appropri
ated for this purpose. The report
gives in detail the result of tue op. |
eratlons of the spe pecial agents of
the department, and the institution
of civil and criminal suits against
the offenders. There is great
waste of inc trees in the turpen
tue States Of Florida, Alabama
aud Mississippi, where the trees
are wantonly set on fire by cattle
owners, after the Yield of tnrpen~
tine has become exhausted. In one
case l 100000 trees were destroy
ed III IL single night, half of which
were on Government lands. There
Is also wanton destruction on the |
mountain slope of Utah, where
trees are set On fire by men, who
use large quantities of fence poles,
who dellbt rately set fire TO the best
groves to make the wood light and |
easy to haul away. In one case
10000 on unsurveyed lands were
thus destroyed. In conclusion the
acting Commissioner calls atten-
tlon to the fact that the changes
made by law governing the dispo-
,al of public lands has made IN in
creased force necessary 10 perform
the duties CT the office.
