Hugo's Unsuccessful Play.


"Amy Robsart" is an imitation.
or rather an adaptation, OF Walter
Scott, which served as the writer's
debut on the stage. He never
printed this piece, aud the manu-
script was supposed to be lost.
When anybody spoke to him about 1t
he used to say. evidently in good faith,
81 fancy / burned it, 1t was found at
Guernsey under pile OF other old pa
pers. When it wasproduced nj the OdeOn
Victor Hugo borrowed for the occa-
sion the name OF his brother-in-law,
Paul Foucher, the future playwright,
then a school-boy, imagine, who sat on
the same bench as Alfred de Musset.
The first evening the piece was missed,
and the name, then unknown, OF Paul
Foucher excited opposition. On the
morrow Victor Hugo wrote to the d.
bats n very manly letter, in which
he said "In face OF the reception
accorded 10 amy Robsart | feel
it incumbent on me to declare that
all the passages hissed yesterday were OF
my writing" This is exactly the an
swer he made TO Harrel, the manager.
on the first night. "But, NJ. Vic
tor Hugo. tho audience are Kissing.
"Well. be it so that proves the piece
to be mine" This was frank and de
cided. | doubt if any manager will
think nowadays of mounting this imi-
tation of Walter Scott, even if it be
Hugo's. as the author declared. Still,
the piece is interesting, and the volume
should be read. II is bit of literature
appearing in the hey-day OF an indus.
trial and scientific exhibition. 1t is well
that the things Of the mind should be
represented by the side OF the apotheo-
sis Of what is material.

LARGE FAILURES.
THE WAUREGAN COTTON-oooOS
coMPANYs LIABILITIES ST 100000.
A worsted-MiIi Also Gone Under, and
the Nottingham Mills VIII Go
Too-Othor Mills In Danger.
Try telegraph to the pispa,eh.l

Providence, r. l.. August 2l.-The
Wauregan Cotton-Goods Company to-
day decided TO suspend payment The
company has two mills at present IN ope-
ration one at WauregaD. near PLAIN
field, Conn, capitalized at 5000, 900,
with 1,4OO looms, employing 1000
hands; the other the Nottingham Mills,
in this city, capitalized at $500, 900, with
%, 600 spindles, 556 looms, and employ
ing 600 hands. Treasurer Taft IS also
secretary and treasurer Of the Ponemah
Mills, in Connecticut. that has capital
OF q, 800, 600. Bradstreet thinks Taft g
connection with this last mill may place
it in danger. The Wauregan Company 8
liabilities are placed at 81. 00O,0O The
assets, according TO the company's
figures, are 81, 900, 600. The failure is
directly due to that of Lewis Brothers.
The Nottingham Mills will also suspend.
The Thornton Worsted- Mills went un-
der to-day. Their trouble IS caused by
the failure of Brown Steese & Clarke,
wool dealers, of Dedham, Mass. Steese
& Clarke to-day fled in court a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy.
Treasurer Taft gaid to-day emphat-
cally that Wauregan Mills did not owe
the Poncmah Company one dollar. MIR.
Taft reiterated this answer when the
question was raised with reference to
the Ponemah Company being at all in
volyed. lie also added that the Pone-
nah Company had surplus 370O, 900 IN
personal property over and above the
plant, which is worth S325, coo. The
British Hosiery Company, located
at Thornton, is reported involved
to some extent, but arrange
mcnts will be made TO tide them
over, as their liabilities are not very
heavy. II can't be determined whether
the failure of Wauregan is likely to lead
TO the suspension OF the other cotton
mills, though this was feared. The di-
rectors Of the Waurcgan Company say
arrangements can be made 10 resume
operations, and that the company can
soon be put in n position to make
money. The failure IS ascribed to the
general distrust caused by the Lewis
failure, and to the reports that the
Waurcgan Company was largely involved
10y the failure, this having the effect OF
causing the banks TO refuse to make
! loans

INTERSTATE FARMERS ASSOCIATION.
Strong Report Adopted Against the Use
Of Jute Bagging.
by telegraph TO the Dispatch.l


MONTGOMERY. August 21.-The South
ern Interstate Farmers Association closed
its annual session here to-day. The sub
iects discussed were The Depression OF
Agriculture-Its Causes and Remedy !;
and Should the Farmers Organization be
Encouraged? Genera William Miller,
Of Florida, led in the discussion OF the
latter subject and made n strong tariff
reform speech. The Committee on Cot
ton Covering. Hon. W. j. Green, OF
North Carolina, chairman, submitted
the following report, which was unanl-
mously adopted
Recognizing the fact that iute bagging,
which has heretofore been exclusively
nsed by cotton-planters as a covering
for their product, was during the past
season most unnecessarily raised in price
nearly 100 per cent. by the manufsc-
turers aud recognizing likewise that
such arbitrariness and cruelty in price
could only have been made possible by
what is now known as trust, and mas
much as under the spur Of such wrong
suitable substitutes have since been dis
covered for cotton covering, your commit
tee 10 most earnestly rec commend to every
cotton-producer throughout the land alb
solute discontinuance of jute bagging
whenever q substitute can be obtained.
Your committee goes further and pro-
claims that this Recommendation whether
viewed as a retaliatory measure or simply
rs one OF seIf-protection, is equally JUS
tifable, and that they recommend like
action or non-use when possible Of every
article which has been placed or shall
hereafter be placed under trust for the
purpose OF excluding competition, and
thus enabling the projectors to fix their
own price on the same.
Colonel l.. l.. Polk. Of Raleigh, n.
c., WAS reelected president of the asso-
ciationand Hon. l.. H. Youmans, Of South
Carolina, elected vice-president from
States at large. The yice-presidents
were reelected. G. 7. Vandever, of
Tennessee, WAS elected secretary. Reso-
lutions were adopted urging the impor-
lance Of securing legislation for the adj
vancemcnt Of protection OF the aQricui-
tural interests. The association adjourn
