The cultivation of cotton in the Upper
Niger valley as well as elsewhere in the
French West African colonies is now
receiving marked attention, both from
the colonial governments and from the
home government in France. 1t was
asserted several years since by the
French explorer Felix Dubois that the
SOudan was easily capable of producing
cotton sufficient for the needs of
France, and what he said on this sub
ject seems about to be verified 1t is a
fact that cotton is produced easily in
all West Africa, and before the whole
sale importation of cotton goods from
Manchester the natives manufactured
enough from it by hand processes to
serve all their needs. The staple was
not long, but the natives produced very
strong cloth from it, and to some extent
they manufacture still. The foregoing
remarks, taken from a report compiled
by Peter Strickland, consul at Goree-
Baker, Senegal, Africa, are supplement-
ed by the statement that the French in
a very few years will be able to supply
themselves principally. if not wholly,
from their West African possessions.
They are experimenting also with to-
bacco, which grows wild in some parts
without cultivation.

A bit of news which seems to have
escaped attention and comment here is
contained in the recent convention be-
tween France and the United Kingdom
1t is agreed that England shall have a
free hand in Egypt in return for France
having a free hand in Morocco. One
can hardly credit that such a deal has
been made, and is apt to think that
there is some mistake in the wording.

was plenty who said that it was too far
north to be practicable. But since then
the Canadian Pacific has been built and
has successfully met all the winter
problems; and the new road, still far
Their north, may very likely do as well.
1t will probably not greatly affect the
business of the American lines.

if the unexpected should happen at

and after there had been a general
alarm raised little Miss Horner, the
granddaughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. J.. NJ. Forner, who live in the
rear of the Island Christian church
on Zane street, was found in Bridge
port It was about 1890 on Thurs
day morning that she was found and
restored to her grandparents, with
whom she makes her home.
The little tot went to school at the
usual time Wednesday afternoon and
it appears that when school was dis
missed that she wandered over the
Island and then to Bridgeport. It
was a supper time that the grand
parents became alarmed and when
darkness came on they notified the
police and instituted a general search
for her.
Almost all OF the neighborhood
was on the hunt for the missing tot.
Many police, were detailed to the
search and shortly before the finding
OF the little girl in the crowds at
Bridgeport the friends had given up
in despair. She was wandering about
through the crowds at the carnival
She was picked up by the police and
said that she was lost and could not
find her way home.

The German Element.

IIarper's Weeky.J
German writer says that in 1870
German blood ran in the veins Of
about one-hfth of the population of
the United States. In 1880 the
Anglo Saxon-Puritan element num-
bered 2.9G4,717; the German ele-
popula ton, in which the several
European strains had already be-
come so thoroughly blended as to be
no longer easily distinguishable, A.
S52,717.
At the century's end he finds in
the United States 25,477,5s Ger
mans, as compared with 12,713,O36
descendants of the American in
habitants in 1880, and 12,11S,64O An
Germans, Scandiavians, Dutch, and
Belgians) is given as AZ per cent of
the total white populations, but very
little reflection upon the foregoing
figures will be required to convince
our readers that in the course Of
century a large part of the German
element-which was important even
at first, and has been increasing so
rapidly that it now holds the first po
sition numerically, and is indeed
twice as strong as the Angld+Saxon
in that senSe-m1lSt have become by
intermarriage thoroughly amalga-
mated with the descendants OF Brit
ish colonists and the Nineteenth-cen-
fury immigrants from Great Britain.
1t is a fair presumption that the in
fiuence of German blood-the in
heritanrS of 1.-The best of the German
nationaIity''-may be traced in the
more or less useful careers OF very
many OF the prominent Americans
whose names give no uncertain in
dication of their German origin, or
OF German blood derived through
