The English cotton trade in the last
twelve years-1S72 to 1SS2-has increased
% per cent. in yarns and 33 per cent. in
piece goods, as to quantity but the in
crease in value in piece goods has been
only per cent, while yarns have fallen off
ten per cont. A part of this is due to a
decrease of one.third in the value of the
raw material, cotton but the real expla-
nation seems to be first, in the wide reduc-
ton of price in the past decade whose
industrial effects are not yet fully under.
stood, and second in the large increase in
manufacturers here, in Germany and in
France. Step by step, England in this
trade as in others is losing the supremacy
given by her enormous start early in the
century.
The impressive ceremonies held over
the remains of J. Howard Payne in New
York yesterday are but faint echo of
the sentiment, which finds response in
every heart, that pays tribute to genious
of brilliant light, even though the tender
solicitude of friendship came from few
hearts in his life time and the strange
viciesitudes through which he struggled
ended in bitter disappointment and weari-
ness that we may now but inadoquately
appreciate. More acceptable and perhaps
more just would have been this homage to
the poet and dramatist while he lived, but
if a generous minded generation can atone
for the forgetfulness of the past, the
answer to his plaintive strains fraught
with the burden of home joy and beauty
may be found in genuine popular ap-
probation of the action of those who car.
ried out the plan to bring him to his native
land.

a young man sat for several hours
on straight stretch in the waiting
room at the Union depot at Milwaukee
the other day with a pretty young
woman on his lap. The parties were
evidently rural bridal couple. The
girl was a rosy faced cherry dipped
blonde and she seemed to enjoy the
picnic immensely. Every once in a
while the man would nestle his face
down against the checks of the girl
and kiss her passionalely. There was
a crowd of people in the room watch

great interest. The young people did

Told Concerning One OF chicagos Tn
lucky srifiionaircs.
YOUNGSTOWN. o., February IS
( There Is a romance connected with
Herbert Aver who failed lisastrously
ut Chicago yesterday. When his
father, John V. Aver, was poor man
he taught school at New Orleans,
where he wooed, won and secretly
married an heircss prominent in So
ciety. Her parents were angered, re-
pulsed efforts of reconciliation and got
their daughter out of the way so eflec-
tually that Aver thought her dead.
Shortly afteTward he went to Chicago
where by energy and tact he built up
the immense iron firm Of John V.
Aver Il Go. Believing his wife dead
he married again and several children
were the fruits of this union. The
war OF the rebellion proved the finan-
cial ruin Of the parents of his southern
bride, but added immensely to his
wealth. Thirty years after leaving
New Orleans Aver accidentally met
and recognized his first wife whom he
supposed dead. She had married
again, surprising him dead, and the
second husband was still alive. She
introduced TO Aver handsome young
man of twenty-nine as his son Her
bert c., whom he now met for the irst
time. Herbert had served in the
Confederate army, and was promoted
to colonel for gallantry. The old
gentleman was fayorably impressed
with the son, took him to Chicago and
introduced him into the firm. At his
fathers death Herbert succeeded to
the management and has recently
constituted the firm OF John V. Ayers
Sons. His mother, after her husbands
death, lived for many years in this
city, supported in luxury by her sou.
She now lives in Baltimore.
