A CHECK IN COTTON GOODS
EXPORT

We have been puding ourselves, of late,
on the vast stride we have made IL exporting
manufactured goods to an extent never be-
fore attained, and even flooding the London
stores with cotton goods that made the Man
chester manufacturer face pale with envy
and dread, while that of the London matron
expanded as she made up the hou ehold sup
ply from the beautiful American goods. We
are sorry to see that this pleasing picture Of
Brother Jonathan comforting respectful fayors
upon beefy, clustering John, is d,umed and
diminished by Canada partially deserting our
cotton DDS for the English stuff-wsighted
as It is with lime, starch and chemical COM
position that washes out the first time water
touches it. The Canadian women are very
''nice," and what makes maid and matron
desert our excellent and conscientously made
goods-we all know how conscientious Lowell
and Fall River and the other places that way
are-for John Bulls scandalously dishonest
and exceeding sinful starched manufac-
lures, 1--WE want to know That
they have done 80 is shown by The Canadian
official blue book. In lS47 the total entries
for consumption IN the Dominion OF Canada,
of foreign manufactured cotton goods, showed
value of 81, $40, 731 from the United States,
and 81 436, $50 from England; last year, 1873,
the United States had only $2,3l4, $50,
against England's $4,552,0 The result is
a decrease Of seven and half million yards
in our manufactured cotton exports to Cam
ada, nearly thirty per cent. less, and most Of
what we have lost England has gained. The
New York Bulletin observes, respecting this
disagreeable fact: This is certainly a result
we should hardly have expected at time
when we were supposing ourselves to be
gaming rapidly In our competition with
Great Britain in these goods, and least Of
all in market where we have such advan-
tages OF contiguity. 1t will thus be seen that
the total value of our exports Of cotton man
ufactures to Canada last year was S2,3l4, 855,
or $625, $40 less than the year preceding. "
We should much ike to know what would
be the effect if Canada could be supplied with
substantial cotton goods spun by southern
mills, from cotton grown in the neighbor-
hood. At any rate, the check Of our exports
In Canada deserves serious attention.

Vaya con Dios, Senor.

In more modern Italy the salutations have
much increased in number; and here, again,
in some cases the harmony between them and
the character and circumstances of the several
districts is very striking. The Genoese in the
Middle Ages used to say, "Sanita e guaddgno,"
Health and gain" Could any phrase have
been more perfect commentary upon their
characteristics? But at the present time the
brand of long oppression and servility still re-
mains impressed upon the phraseoogy of the
people, and the prest-ridden Neapclitan halls

Pedmontese sllutes you, 81 am your slave''
With the growth OF freedom and com nerce.
the last few years have done much, believe,
to reduce sycophantic verbage of address, OF
dedications, and subscriptions. AS to the
common Come sta?-"H1w stand you?" it
seems to Ering before us at once and in brief
the far njente Of the indoent Italian, basking
in the sun, eating macaroni, and letting life
Hit lazily and delightfully."- away. In Spain we
approach nearer to the Oriental than in any
other country which can strictly be termed
European, and consequently we meet with
more distinct traces of the East in its saluta-
tions. The Divine name is frequently used,
and the prayer for long life is not uncommon.
In Vdyd con DioS, Senor, Go with God,
Senor,' we seem to detect Eastern religious
ness and Castlian haughtness combined
The constant use of Vuestrd mefced, Your

to your grace exhibits the contrast between
the grave, somewhat curt, reverence of the
Spanard and the diffusiveness Of the Italian.
His punctilo also is illustrated BY the fact
that the Vuastra Herced is contracted into

Magazine Notices.

The sale of the edition o. 100000 copies of
the November Scribner has made necessary
the reprinting of that issne aud the advance
ment of the first edition of the December num-
ber to 100000 The justification of this is to
be looked for, the publishers think, in the
fresh and interesting list of subjects, aud in
the capability of the writers in the present
number. The opening paper on The Capitol
of New York, is contributed by Mr. Montgom-
cry schuyler of the World, who pronouaces
that building to be "the most honorable work
of public architecture which this country has
to show The paper on the John Hopkins
University by Mrs. S. B. Herrick, supplies
complete and authoritative account of the
character and plans of one Of the most UNIQUE
and valuable educational agencies of the coun-
try. Unusual personal interest attaches to Mr..
Boyesen's account of Two Visits to Victor Hu-
90, and discussions with him of the politics OF
the future, accompanied by beautiful engrav-
ing by Cole of Bonat's striking portrait of HUI
20. Coffee Culture in Brazil is graphically de-
scribed in the closing paper of the series by
Herbert II. Smith. A second paper on Success =
with Small Fruits is contributed by Rev. E. 2.
Roe whose position as an expert horticulturist
is unouestioned. The literary interest of the
number is strong The concluding half OF Mr..
E. c. Stedmans critical study of Bayard Tay-
lor is given \ paper both CURIOUS and charm
ing is contributed by John S. Burroughs, un-
der the title Nature and the Poets, the topic
beingthe accuracy or careleSsness OF the poets
observation of nature, and many instances be-
ing cited from leading American poets A
novel feature is the grouping in one collection
of twenty Poems by American Women, in
Guiding many of the most prominent writers.
These, with humorous illustrated poem by
Mrs. Elizabeth Allers Allen, it is thought will
afford fair idea of the range, variety and linz
itations of the poetry written by the women of
this country. Scholarly reviews of Blanid and
Baird's Rise of the Huguenots, and notices of
other books appear in the Culture and Progress
department. In fiction Mr., James'S Confidence
progresses to a fifth instalment with inscruta-
bic complications Of plot and with profounder
studies of character, perhaps than its author
has before exhibited; it is said that the conclu-
sion of the story will be q pleasant surprise to
Mr.. James's audience. In the cold part OF
The Grandissmes, Mr.. Cable completes the
background of his story, and introduces two
new characters; Citizen Agric0la Fusiler,
Creole of Creoes and a hater of Americans,
and Palmyre Philosophe, a voudou magician
of the quadroon CASTE and there are further
delightful glimpSes of the two pretty women
whom the reader met in mask at the opening
of the story. \ fresh and chatty paper OF an
anecdotal character on the Oddities of Paris.
is written by j. d. OSBORNE, whose papers ON
Scribe, and Janin and French Duels, in the
salne mag vine will be remembered.

Inspired by Blaine.

Those articles copied by the stalwart organs
from radical journals in other States giving ad-
vice to Democrats and Greenbackers in Maine
have somehow very familiar look. Can 1t be
that the eminent statesman at Augusta IS at
his old device, and that they are simply Blaine
talking through other mouths! Ihat Is the
general opinion-Argus.
Does the Argus include articles from the
Boston Herald, Philadelphia Times and
Brooklyn Eagle?
The Herald says: "The Maine Demo-
Gratis will make serious blunder, as mat
ter of party policy, if they undertake to re-
verse the result of the late election by the
contingent process. Politicians are slow to
learn the fact that from all party acts there
is an appeal to the people Ii the Republi-
cans were guilty of bribery in the election,
it can be shown in the Legislature and the
courts, and the effect will appear next year.
But two wrongs will not make right, and
the Democrats will lose by an attempt at
usurpaton We know that the best Demo-
Gratis in this State deprecate any question
able exercise of power by their friends OF
Maine. 1t makes little difference which
party has. the Maine State government this
year, but next year comes the Presidential
election, and the effect of wrong act would
be felt throughout the country. The Re-
publicans have set some very bad examples,
but they have never made anything by try
ing to defeat the will Of the people"
The independent Democratic Times says
t:If the fraud shall be consummated in Maine
it must disgrace Governor Garcelon and his
party in the State beyond the hope OF resur-
rection, and it must dishonor Democracy
throughout the whole country. Every hon
est citizen must condemn it; every indepen-
dent journal must denounce it; every DEM
ocratic organ that cherishes self-respcct
must refuse to sanction it, and the Republi-
can organs will be compelled to shrek them
selves hoarse in the denunciation of what
they have been habitually commencing in
the South"
The Democratic Eagle says:-"Of course
the Eagle believes that what is threat ned
to be done by the Democrats of Maine
is almost without excuse and is who'll
" without justification. The Republican
leaders, under Blaine, have collected
in large numbers at the State capital, and
they asser! in the most vigorous language
that they will not submit to the threatened
wrong. We trust sincerely that the Repub-
licans will keep their word, and that they
will not submit, come what may. Ii the
Democrats have proof of bribery they ought
TO he able TO punish those engaged in it
through the courts, but the ballots as cast
must be counted. If the Republicans have
engaged in the wholesale bribery of voters
this wear, and if this can be made plain to
the voters of Maine, majority will doubt
less join next year in furnishing the Republl-
can party by voting against its candidates.
1t is not necessary to argue that an election
should not be set aside on the frivolous pre-
text that notice was not given of what was
known to everybody" Are these articles
all inspired by Mr.. Blaine9

General Considerations for Con-
SumptiVeS.

In searching for a Winter hea'th-resort,
what do we desire 10 avoid and what do We de-
sire to find? There are three things whch we
desire to avoid, especially when they are found
combined together, as in our own Winter cli-
mate and these three things are damp cold
and variability. 1t is the combination Of these
three conditions which makes the climate Of
England so unsuitable and even dangerous to
many persons. 1t gives rise to the distressing
catarrhal conditions which are 50 common, and
which often lead to graver disturbances OF
health. 1t is the cause of attacks Of acute and
chronic rheumatism, of many forms of neural
gia, and not unfrequently it is resi- onsible for
serious inflammation of internal organs This
combination of climatic conditions, necessari
associated with q cloudy and sunless sky, pro-
duces further depressing effect on the mind
and spirits 1t need scarcely be said that the
mere sensitive the organization the more a ute
ly will these uufavcrable conditions be felt.
What We seek in Winter climate, then, is
the opposite of thsse conditions; viz, drlI ess,
warmth and equitaOility. BuG IL is always Oil.
hcult to get ali We want; besides, as matte OF
fact, while some invalids require combinal on
of warmth and moisture, others need warmth

THANKSGIVING.

II gratitude be measured by thankulness
for material benefits received this Toanks-
giving Day ought to be the most deyoutly
observed for many years. The prosperity OF
the country has been marvellous. Our
graneries are bursting with their stores OF
wheat and corn, our foundries and forges
are in blast, our looms flying, our products
meeting an eager market. Labor OF all use
fl1 kinds is fully employed, and wiling
hands everywhere find work to do. Even II
we accept the cynical definition of gratitude
as lively expectation of favors to come, we
have abundant cause to be thankful; for the
future is laviso in promises, and all signs
point to years of uninterrupted prosperity.
Men can sit down to cheer with ligh er
hearts than for many Novembers past, and
at the family reunions, which are the grea
feature of the day in New England, there
will be fewer anticipations OF evil or present
anxieties to mar the joy of meeting.
