During the past year the cotton
mills in the South have increased their
consumption of cotton fully &c per
cent. while the increase of the North
ern mills has barely reached per cent
This speaks we'll for the Southern
manufactures and demonstrates the
fact that they can manufacture cotton
goods in sufficient quantity to supply
the entire demand of her people.

The display for this year will not com

Of great annoyance to train men.
When it sees a freight train coming it
will yell at the top Of its voice, "Swift
off! switch off" The enunication is so
distinct that it not unfrequently hap
pens the train will be switched to avoid
a supposed danger. The same bird,
when it sees passenger train, will, yell
"All aboard" and thereby cause a
scamper among the passengers. who,
after sitting in the cars for ten or IF
teen minutes, will discover that they

ENGLAND.
An Exciting Scene in the House Of
Commons.
An Irish Member Accuses the Englis1
Troops Of Inhuman Butchery
in Africa,

LONDON, June 12-There was turbulent
scene In the House OF Commons to day,
growing out Of motion OF censure moved
by Mr.. +. Il. O'Donnell, member for Dun-
gariyar, respecting the conduct of the war
tnSouth Africa. Mt. O'Donnea, basing his
remarks on certain letters received from
Africa, accused the English troops OF having
acted with extreme barbarity toward the Zu-
lus, refusing them quarter and mercilessly
the wounded Zulus who fell into
their hands. This was no new practice on the
part Of the English, Mr.. O'DonneIl inslnu-
ated, and demonstrated this insinuatlon by
reference to the inhuman conduct OF the
English troops In ireland during CromWell's
time and at other periods, and their conduct
In India after the mntiny. The House be-
came wildly excited and very restive, but
O'Donnell continued to speak until he was
called to order.
The Right Hon. Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
Under Secretary for Ireland, and Sir Stafford
Northcote Chancellor of the Exchequer
severely rebuked Mr.. ODonnell for his lam
guage, and the scene finally ended by O'Don-
nell, at the request Of his Irish colleague,
withdrawing his motion.

Don't Believe In Advertisiux.

The man who says he dosen't believe
in advertising is doing just what he de-
precates. He hangs coats outside of his
door, or puts dry goods in his windows
that's advertising. He has printed
cards lying on his counter, that's
advertising. He sends out drum
mers through the country, or puts his
name on bis wagon-that's advertising.
He labels his articles or his manufactur-
es-that's advertising. If he has lost his
cow, he puts a written notice in the post
office, or tells his sisrer.in .law-and
that's advertising, too. He has his name
put up in gilt letters over the door--what
Is that but advertising? He paints his
shop green or red; or IL a tailor he wears
the latest style; If a doctor, he has his
boy call him out of church in haste; il
an auctionee :, he bellows to attract the
attention of passers- by; If a heavy mer-
chant. he keeps q huge pile OF boxes on
his side walk in front of his stOre--and
all for advertising.
A man can't do business without ad-
vertising, and the question is whether to
call to his aid the engine that moves the
world-the printing press-with Its thou
sands of messengers working night and
day, the steam engine adding to its re-
peating capacity untold power and mir
aculous speed; or, lejecting all these to
go back to the days when newspapers,
telegraphs and railroads were unknown.

Stewart Castle.

[St Paul Pioneer Washington letter.
It is rumored that the wife and daugh-
ters of ex-senator Stewart are to return
to Washington and reinhabit that great
pile ofsandstone that is known as Stew
art Castle. 1t is the largest and most
expensive house IN Washington, but, as
the Yankee ladies would think, the $780,
900 expended upon 1t was sinful waste.
II has been closed since the expiration of
the Senator's term of Office in 1875 and
has been advertised for rent at the mod
est sum of at first $40, 900 per annum and
later at $4,000 and $4,000. But no
one has had money to pay such rental
and keep up the house besides, for it will
require several thousands year to heat
it alone. The moths have destroyed the
greater part of the furniture, which was
very handsome and costly, having been
made to order in Paris, the fabrics of up
holsterIng having been purchased at the
Exposition Of 1878. The house was oc-
cupied only one year. Miss Stewart
was married there and her baby was
born in the house but after the Sena-
tors term expired, and the Emma Mine
pulled down his fortune the family
moved to the Pacific coast, where they
have since been.
