Cotton Gins for China.

On a visit a few days ago to Ningpo, I
wis informed that if the Americans
would make a hand cotton gin for the
Chinese il would meet with a ready and
profitable sale. There is japanese gin
of this kind worked by foot, hut it does
not pick the seed well and is but partially
adapted for its purpose. If the Inventive
genius Of our mechanics could be directed
to this they would Don make a suitable
gin. The Chinese cotton is coarse and
very short staple. The seed is also small.
The machinery would have to Ike adapted
TO these conditions. an American gin.
such rs is now used in the south. with q
crank to tuI4 by hand, could be easily
suited to this work. Anything not oper-
atcd by manual labor would not be taken
by the Chinese, whose conservatism is
against innovations Of too pronounced q
type; besides, their cotton planting is
done in small areas by small farmers,
and they are not accustomed 10 other

maker wishes the idea elaborated, | could

Once during the war, a skirmish line.

shelters by standing rails upright, leaning
against each other, the tops being bound

fortresses. though. n a rather exposed
position. Capt. +. d. Stephenson, of the
Forty eighth, was sitting on a turned up
bucket, taking his morning coffee. As
he threw back his head in drinking, a
whiz was heard, and a ball sped by with
in an inch of his face, directly across the
eyes, taking effect in a little dogwood
tree beside him. Tie captain rose quietly.
and, taking a ramrod, stuck it in tbs
ground so that its top would be IN the
space lately occupied by his nose; he then
went behind the tree aud sighted from the
bullet hole over the top Of the rod, thus
ascertaining the direction taken by the
ball in its flight. Directly in this line
rose the top of a large oak, with great
sheets and streamers OF southern moss
hanging dependent from its boughs.

from its leaves, and the cap turned round
on its stick support, letting the daylight
through a large jagged hole in its crown.

Spectator 4 Feb. 1889

The Vienna correspondent OF the
Times, believes rpon information
from Berlin, that the Russian
Government has almost succeed
ell in arranging with some French
Bankers for a loan of 300 100000
roubIe>, or, say, G23, coo, 600 The
RothSchiIdS refused the proposal,
but other firms have taken it up,
tempted probably by the high term,
offered, or cCncei,ably by com
mrndati0nS from the French Govern
ment. If that story is true, it i, next
to the German Army Bill, The most
serious evidence yet Offered, 'hat i'm
mediate action is within the tan2e OF
Russian calculations. TEat Gover,-
mont must need money badly, to raise
il Just now in the midst Of a war scare,
aud with the loublt down so low.
Nobody credits the last Budget; but a
much smaller loan would have met he
actual deficit, which, moreover, the
Treasury does not acknowledge to
exist, Even The military expenditure
now being incurred, great as it must
be when entire corps d'arm6e are
transported across Russia and ,ehouS-
ed in the depth Of winter, would hard
ly explain such a loan, it is posi-
BILE however, that the story is an in
vention, or an exaggeration of a pre-
vious one, according to which bankers
in Paris and Amsterdam were to sup
ply the Russian Treasury with three
millions only.
On Tuesday, jus stone day before the
Nation alist demonstration in Dublin,
the morality of the movement was
once more dreadfully ilIust' ased. Two
brothers, named Fritzmaurice, held a
small farm new LiStowel, in Kerry.
They were evicIed, but the el 'er re-
took and worked the farm. This
created ill-feeIing, and the Lixnaw
Branch OF the National League de-
nounced james Fit zmaurice as a
, 1888-02-29

"land-grabber," and condemned him
to be ~boycotled. The sentence did
not deter him from his farming, and
on Tuesday, therefore, while he was
walking to ListoweI behind a cart con-
tanning his daughter and some pigs,
another "method of pc r%suasion" was
adopted. Two men shook hands with
Fitzmaurice, began a conversation
with him, and then as he stood IN
suspecting, riddIed him with revolver.
bullets. He was sixty five, and he
died in an hour. The daughter was
unable to interfere, either from terror
or because the horse ran away, and at
fl st refused to identity the asSassins,
She at last however pointed out two
men who have beer arrested, and are
strangers, and who, if guilty at all,
were hired as bravops for the work.
The Freem0n's Journal processes great
horror Of The crime, but suggests that
1t occurred at a convenient moment
for the Government, and asks why
the police who were protecting FitZ-
maurice did not accompany him to

that The sentence of the League OH
