sale in every town in England. An official
statement, recently published from English
sources, announces the striking fact, that
while England has reduced the cost of spin
ming cotton % per cent. the United States
have reduced their cost, in the same period,
so per cent. England isvery slow in adopt
ing slabor-saving machinery, and her free
trade policy has invited q competition that
she is wholly unprepared to meet. Our ex :
ports OF cotton fabrics have risen from 49,
900, 900 yards in 1872, to LOG, 100000 yards
in 1878. England throughout her CONNER
cial history, until within the past few years,
was competitor we could not cope with
successfully in foreign markets !; but now it
is officially shown in her own reports by Spe-
cial Commissioners that we are not only
competing with her and taking her trade in
the Oriental and South American markets,
but that we are beating her in her own
colonies, and shipping to England, direct,
five times the amount In value that she ships
to US. We have reached this result through
skilled ability and educated workmen,
through labor-saving machinery, and through
the pluck and energy Of our people; and we
will hold it, and by SO doing gradually draw
the larger share Of the coin and capital Of
the commercial world to u.s.

The Northern Pacific Railroad track on
the ice of the Missouri river was taken up
on Wednesday. For the last two days the
trains have been running through water and
floating ice two or three feet deep. The
cab Of the last locomotive out was flooded
and the engine tipped to one side, but not
ditched. The train Of twenty cars dashing
through river was az unprecedented sight.
Chief Engineer Rosser was determined to
get all the iron fA the firsttwenty- five miles
OF the extension across before the ice gave
way, and he succeeded. The Missouri river
Is about to break up, and, Judging from the
thickness of the ice, it will be an historical
event.

THE BRIDAL.

In brief Introductory note to the charming
poem the Diamond Ring which we published
recently, we stated it as our impression that the
lines constituted the sole essay in the field OF poe
sy of our friend the versatile author. In this we
unwittingly detracted from the more abundant
chaplet due him. 1t appears that under further
produced at the same youthful period OF his life
the following lines which he is enabled to furnish
from copy preserved by a female friend. In ease
and grace OF imagery they are in no wise inferior
to his first production, and go far to substlntiate
the erion of his friends thatin dedicating him
Muses. Though we cannot claim with George D..
Prentice the possessions Of the divine afiatus.
but we confess to share the tender feeling held by
that lamented and gifted journalist for the gentle
fraternity of bards and their tuneful lays [Rich-
