OPIUM SMOKING ~ CHM.

practice is there INDUCED IN In the most open man

than 10 smoking tobacco. Mr. Waters. Her Maj
estys Consul at 1chang. made careful inquiries last
year into tho origin OF this practice, aud ho found
that II had been indulgcd in for several hundred
wears, long before either the present roigning
dynasty or foreign merchants aud their opium

solace Of the departed, Ia q complete set OF opium

people themselves the habit so far from being TO
earded as curse is looked on a. sine qua mon for
ChinaInan who wishes 10 make the best OF both
worlds. A., w. l.,
The whole of the opium consumed IN the west Is
locally produced and Indian opium does not come

channel into Western Hu Pei, Stechuen. or the other
provinces of the West. Above and beyond tho onor-
nous quantity their grown for local use there Is
largo trade In the drug, mostly conTabanh, from
West to East. Indian opium Is consumed In the
provinces adjacent 10 the treaty ports, and being an
expensive article rs compared with native opium,
Is mostly smoked BY the well-to-do classes. Tho
common people In these provinces smoke tho nauve

o nightingale and cuckoo IL was meet
That Won shonld come together; for We twain
Are emblerns of the rapture and the pain
That in the April OF our life compete,
Nor yet have learned that both ofthem arr vain!
Yet why, o nightingale! break off thy strain,
While yet the cuckoo doth his call repeat
Not 10 with me- To sweet woe did cling
And so found solase. Now, alas the sting
Cuckoo and nightingale alike have fed;
Neither for JOY nor sorrow do sing,
And autumn silence gathers In their stead.

DALLAS EXCHANGE AND COIN.
COMMERCIAL.

DALLAS, November 2S-lt seems that
with all the urgixg on the part of our bust.
ness men, the Board of Trade of this oity
Will not take steps to inaugurate n regular
business exchange, one of the most desira.
Die objects that has been brought to their
attention since their organization. The
benefits that would follow tho opening of
business exchange in Dallas have been so
inlly- discussed that IL would be super.
iluous to talk of il further
through tho columns of n paper. If the
Board of Trade takes such little concern in
the material prosperity Of our city rs To pass
over so important q matter to our business
interests, we should suggest that our NOR.
chants and Others interested. md who
would be benefited by its establishment
call meeting and perfect the Organization
without the aid OF the Board of Trade
which, so far, has cyinced so much apathy
IN matter of such great, and wo
might almost say vital Importance TO the
business interests OF the city. When the
boaru OF Trade was organized II was un.
uersto9d that they would inaugurate, ios.
ter and encourage all such orronizatlons
but IL seems they believe their mission I'm,
been fulfilled, and that the business VOL.
iare OF our city may take care of itself so
lar as they are concerned. II is time The
Board of Trade would do some act for Tho
benefit Of our city, IN some way. md II
they cannot of themselves inanrurotn
and carry TO snccessml
oonsummation something OF material nd.
vantage TO our growing business interests
or add to our commercial advancement
they should not entirely ignore the sugres,
tons and wishes of others, who iook 10
them for countenancc and aid In all matters
that may prove beneficial TO our CITY In n
commercial way. II such matters arc not
the province OF the Board of Trade, wc
would DO pleased to learn Tho
objects OF its organization md
the reasons for It's establishments
business on our streets to-day has hsa,,
lair for the first day Of the week. Altboueb
tue weather has been favorable, there was
not as much .nohvity as usual, which me
doubt, Is owing 70 the fact that farmers ana nj

with $4,000 operatives against 10000
British operatives is credited with pro-
duction, the value of which is more than
one-half of that of the United Kingdom,
although in piece goods the American out
put was only as one yard TO about two and
a half yards of British. In confirmation of
this startling exhibit, it appears from our
census returns that the annual consump-
ton of raw cotton by the mills of the
United States amounts to 72i 800, 600 pounds,
or more than One-half the consumption OF
the British mills in 1880 From these re-
turns it is to be seen that every Amer
can spindle consumes G6 pounds of raw cot
ton, while each British spindle consumes
only 20 pounds, or less than one-half the
American consumption per spindle.
The value of the imports of cotton goods
into the United States is given as 500, 939 600,
as against $9,9Sl 900 of exports. The excess
of imports, however, consists of fancy
goods, the domestic manufacture of which
has not reached the perfection toward
which IL is tending.
England is the leader of the cotton goods
trade of the world her exports annually
amounting to S3l0,00O,0O0, am amount
nearly equal to one-third the total domestic
exports of the kingdom
