CARLoTTA PATTI DEAD.-A great singer
passed quietly awsy in Paris last Friday.
Carlotla Patti is dead.
Though of late the world has heard COM
paratively little Of her, it is not SO long
since her fame seemed destined to outshine
even her sisters.
AS singer, indeed, many hold she was
superior to Adelina. Her voice had no less
hrilliancy and greater range. But for an
accident she might have been 'the" Diva.
In the concert room for many years she
reigned supreme. She was as popular here
as in the capitals OF Europe.
Carlotta Patti has no warmer admirer
than Queen Victoria, who said she never
heard sweeter singer.
Many who remember her in her prime
will echo the words and mourn for her,

NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN LABOR. We
hear great deal about the cheapness of
Southern labor, and Northera papers give
that (the cheap labor of the South) as the
reason why iron is manufactured at less
cost in the South than in the North. Re-
publican papers profess to see in this cheap
abor the oppression of the negro race by
Southern iron masters. What are the facts?
The cost of labor employed in mskipga ton
varies from $1.30 SLIGO. In Pennsylvania
it is rarely higher than 81 40. Iron can be
made cheaper in the South because ore, coal
and limestone are all found in close prox-
unity. That is the whole secret.-Page

FOREIGN Commemorative promising condi-
| ton which the foreign commerce of the United
States was assuming during the past twelve

was due mainly to cotton and corn. The last
was the largest crop of corn produced in
the United States. Because Of Its cheapness 1T
was made to suppIant wheat and flour in some
degree 10 the bread supplies demand in Eu-
rope. It is not probable our abundance of corn
this year will have that opportunity. though 1t
might be desirable to ship at the low and I'M
remunerative prizes which ruled the last sea-
son.
Very recently new phase was presented in
our foreign commerce. which it is said arises
from temporary cause.
