WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18.

THE LITTLE GRAVE ON THE HUL a BY GKOKGK U. CATLIH. There's a apot od the hillside far away, Where, In summer, the grass grows green; Where, beheaih a rustling elm tree's shade, . A. moss covered stone Is seen. 'Tis a quiet and unfrequent spot, - A solitaoe lone and wild; ' Yet somebody's hoDes are burled there Tis the grave of a little child. In winter, alas ! that mossy stone Is hid neath a shroud of snow; But around it, in spring time, fresh and sweet, The daisies and violets grow; And o'er it the summer breezes blow, With a fragrance soft and mild, .And the autumn's dead loaves thickly strew That grave of a little child. And, every year, there's a redbreast comes. When the month of May is nigh. And builds her nest in this quiet spot, 'Mid the elm tree's branches bigu; While her melody sweet, by the hour, she trills. As if by the scene beguiled. Perhaps who knows ?'tis au angel comes To the grave of that little child. Yes, somebody's hope lies buried there, Some mother is weeping in vain ; For, though years may come and years may go, 'f will never come back again. Tet blessed are those who die In youth. The pure'and the undented; Some road to Heaven, perchance, runs through That grave of a little child. ' Andrews' American Queen. T11K STAGE AND STAGE PEOPLE. Fritz Emmet has sailed for Europe. Mrs. Howard Paul, the actress and singer, is dead. "The Banker's Daughter" has made a great hit at the Park theater, Boston. Clara Morris placed flowers upon the grave of General Caster on Decoration Day. Mr. Lester Wallack will play in San Fran--cisco three weeks and loDger if the conditions are favorable. "Fatinitz" has made a great hit in Philadelphia, where they are hailing it as the successor of "Pinafore." It is reported that Mr. Louis Aldrich and Mr. Charles Farsloe will appear next season in a new piece, written for them by Mr. Sartley Campbell. Harrigan & Hart's company are announced to play an engagement in Philadelphia, at the Walnut Street theater, before their departure for Europe. Miss Clara Louise Kellogg is announced to make her first appearance in London this season at Her Majesty's as "Aids." Campanini will sing "Kadames." Mr. John McCullough, the tragedian, who is confined in his room at the Sturtevant House, New York, as the result of the slipping of a small tendon, is rapidly recovering. Mrs. John Wood is appearing at the London Haymarket theater in a piece called "Nilsson or Nothing," in which she gives imitations of Patti, Nicolini and other operatic singers. Edwin Booth writes to a friend in Chicago: "I hope that Gray will become gray indeed; yea, positively hoary-headed -in close bat kind confinement, and that his final exit from his present abiding place may be to that celestial region where idiots cease from shooting and actors are at rest.'' Mr. J. 8. Clarke, while playing "Toodles" in London recently, in endeavoring to kick his hat oil at the wings.as is his wont, missed his aim and sent it flying into the royal box, where it alighted at the august feet of the duchess of Edinburgh. Mr. Clarke was horrified, the audience roared, and the duchets instructed one of her ladies to throw the hat back on the stage. The performance then proceeded. E. A. Sothern is SI years of age and a native of Liverpool. In the opening of 1837 Maii Ida Heron made her celebrated reappearance at Wallack'a old theater, corner of Broome street and Broadway, in "Camille," and as Lester Wallack, who was first light oomedian in the company, declined all serious business, Sothern was cast for "Armand," in which character he caught a portion of the reflection of Miss Heron's great success. It was not, however, until his appearance as "Lord Dundreary," in the "American Cousin," at Laura Keene's varieties, to which he removed the season after, that he made his hit. He has ridden to bounds, and recently taken to anglrng, chiefly for advertising purposes, and has obtained eminence as a practical joker. He married, before coming to this country, Mies Stewart, the handsome daughter ot a clergyman of very good family in Wenford, Ireland, who for some time acted as walking lady at Wallack'a. He has a son, Lytton, on the stage. Aimee is now in Philadelphia, where she is having crowded houses nightly. While in this co an try she always avoids hotels on the American plan, and seeks out French tables, where the style and make up of the dishes answer to what she is accustomed to in Paris. Her business agent says she is worth about $350,000. She owns a fine residence in Paris, and several valuable country seats besides. She also owns a couple of theaters in Paris. There is probably no artist living who has done bo much hard work as she and stood it so well. She has a remarkable constitution, and a passion for work. She is never idle a moment. When not performing she is always at the piano practicing. Her repertoire is so lare that she could begin to night and perform for a month, appearing in a different piece every night She has an outfit, that enables her to change her costume for every part in all the operas in which she appears. The number of her dresses is between 80 and 100. "When in Havana she created a perfect furore among the people by her elaborate toilets. There would be a crowd around the hotel every evening just to see her come out Every day during her six weeks' stay there she appeared in a different costume at the table-d'hote. As is well known, Aimee's -first appearance in this country was at Jim Flak's opera house, in Mew York. That was about 11 years ago. Her first appearance in any theater, if report is correct, was in Brussells, when a child of about 10 years of age. She is of French parentage. Paris heard of her and she went there next. That is where her reputation was made. She has been with Manager Gran, six or seven years. This is said to be her last appearance in this country. ALL SORTS.

"But yon know, pa," said a 1 farmer's daughter, when he spoke to her about the addresses of his neighbor's son, "that ma wants me to marry a man of culture." So I do, my dear, so I do; and there's no better culture in the country than agriculture."

A countryman seating himself at a fashionable restaurant with the intention of taking a hearty dinner, summoned a waiter and made known his purpose. The latter skipped briskly away, and finally returned with a handsomely bound bill of fare, which he opened and placed before the gurst, who, pushing it away, scornfully observed: "Oh, come, yon can' t cram no literature down me ; vittals is what I want vittals and party derned qaick, too!" A turtle was killed in a Philadelphia saloon on Tuesday that weighed 800 pounds. The monster was eight feet long and five feet wide. Its head was twice the size of a man's, and its flippers two teet larger than a man's arm. On its back was space enough for half a dozen cane seat chairs. It was caught on Monday by men who were fishing in the Delaware. It is supposed that the turtle wandered from Florida waters to the place where it was caught. , A Virginia lady writes: "And now a few words to the girls who may read this. Be careful to whom you write and what you write. Many a loving, trusting letter is sent by a true-hearted girl, and is read by the receiver to a laughing crowd of men, and various remarks are passed about the 'silly girl.' I can conscientiously say, on the other hand, that I hare never seen nor heard of a girl showing her letters promiscuously, even from a man she did not care for, though they are often shown to the one 'dear friend' in strict confidence." Mrs. Sarah Pojk, widow of the tenth president. James K. Polk, resides in a beautiful home in the heart of the city of Nashville, Tenn. The grave where the remains of the ex-president repose is in the lawn attached to the house, and is visited from time to time by thousands of tourists. The vault con tains but one vacancy, which is intended to be the burial place of the lady in question. Mrs. Polk is a charmingly dignified woman, well advanced in years, and distinguished for ber kindliness and beauty o( character. The home she occupies is beautifully lo cated, and it was here that the ex-president died, six weeks after his retirement from the White House, 30 years ago. Two old Texas herders, who had just buried a neighbor, pot to discussing religion. One asked the other how pious he thought it was possible for a man to get in this world if he was in real earnest. "Wa'al," said the other, reflectively, "I think ef a man g ts so't he can swop steers or trade horses without lying, 'at he'd better pull oat for the better land afore he has a relapse." There are lots of people in the higher or more cultured walks of society who stumble at as small things as "swapping steers or trading horses," and who might reasonably ask the question in their better moments whether it were not better "to pall oat for the better land afore a relapse." The Columbia Challenge cup, which is to be rowed for in America as an inducement for foreign amateur oarsmen to visit this country, will be made by Tiffany. The cup proper will stand 12 inches high, and will be entirely of silver. Two large ornamented handles will be attached to the bowl, two marine base-reliefs will ornament the sides and above each two sculls will be crossed, On the upper edge in large raised silver letters will appear the word "Columbia.". The cup will stand upon an ebony base, on which will be placed two silver shields. Upon one will be traced a picture of the Colombia boathouse, and the other will be preserved for inscriptions commemorative of the victors in races hereafter to be rowed. Parental Care in France. From the time his daughter is born a French father begins to think of her dot, says a writer in the Bazar. A sum of money, however small, is immediately put away in her name, Every year he eaves from bib income, and these savings are added to the original sum. Any unexpected windfalls brought to him by a good stroke of business or fortunate investments are wholly or in part consecrated to the same purpose. Thus the original amount, insignificant in the beginning, being always left at interest, increases itself to a pretty little dowry by the time the girl has reached a marriageable age. Unlike many heads of families in America, who, from the very warmth of their affection for wife and children, spend their entire days, and often evenings, toiling at counting house and office, the French husband and father lives in the midst of his children, occupying himself constantly with their wants, their wishes and the growth of their minds. His business hoars are short; he has time for walks, excursions, drives, in all of which, when possible, he makes them his companions. Thus intimate relations between parents and children are from the beginning established and maintained, the feeling between father and daughter seeming to be peculiarly beautiful. He denies himself pleasures, even comforts, that he may provide for ber future. 8he repays this devotion by implicit obedience and unquestioning love. Having reached the age of 17 or 18 years, the young girl is presented in society, even the poorer portion of the middle classes being as particular about these convenances as the haute aristocratic itself. The parents give an entertainment as their duty toward their daughter Impels and their purse permits. Previously, however, they have carefully looked over the list of young men of their acquaintance young men already established, who are known to have the intention ot marrying soon. Widowers and older men, if eligible, are also allowed to figure in this an written list. These calculations and surmises are kept from the young girl, but otherwise are openly discussed, the assistance of friends admitted even asked. For the parents of a young girl, who, having it in their power to procure her a good settlement in life, allow her, through lack of exertion on their part, to become a vieille fiile, are considered to be most culpably neglectful of their duty. For this reason, one rarely meets an unmarried woman in France.

THREE-CARD MONTE.

How He Gathered Themn on the Bail. A Few Reminiscences of the Great ThreeCard Monte "Sharp," "Canada Bill," Who Heaped a Harvest of 100,OOO by Making Victims of Unsophisticated Travelers on Railroads. Three-card monte is a swindling game, at which, it is impossible to beat the operator, and it has been so thoroughly exposed that there ought not to be any victims. Nevertheless, the monte spider, seeking human flies of present wealth, dexterously handling bis cards and talking skillfully the while, makes his living about as easily as he did In the days of the war when money was so plenty. An old railroad conductor, sow a passenger agent for the Chesapeake and Ohio road, but who ran a train on the Baltimore and Ohio road during the war, relates that he knew "Canada Bill" to gather in $8,000 on one train from Martinsburg to Baltimore, a distance of 100 miles. "Canada Bill" is a name well-known to the gambling fraternity, although he whe was known by that title was some years ago laid to rest His death, which cat off from the earth the smartest operator of three caids that ever was seen, took place when be was a trifle more than 40 years of age. "Just as well to die now," said he, when told that medicine could not save him. "Might as well cat the game, because the cream of the monte has been skimmed. There won't be another war, and they ain't going to bufld any more Pacific railroads, and it's hard for me to play for 10 when I used to catch 100 twice as easy." When his last minute came he sat np in his bed and called oat: "Fifty dollars to $10 you can't pick up the ace," and then fell back dead. The visiting angel had turned the last card for "Canada Bill." BOMK or bill's experiences. This is the story told of his last moments, and may be true if the old saying has no exception that the ruling passion is strong in death. Bill's great boast was that he had beaten a minister.. Chicago newspaper reporters of the year 1874 remember of the excitement the city editors of the papers there, except one, were thrown into by the exclusive publication by that one of the story of a well-known Methodist minister who became a victim to "Canada Bill's" wiles on a train on the Chicago, Bock Island and Pacific railroad. He had lost nearly a thousand dollars. ''Canada Bill" did not bear the reputation of having been the most expert dealer, bat he did that of having been the most skillful operator. In the slang of his profession, "he could ring in suckers better than anybody;" and here is a sample of his proceedings that came under the observation of the writer a lew years ago: The Illinois State fair, held at Decatur, was just over, and the grangers were -filling the trains, homewaid bound. Bill, wearing cowhide boots and coarse clothes, got into the train Just moving from the station and attracted much attention by saying in a loud tone. "Well, no farmer has a show with railroads. They kill his stock and laugh at him when he wants pay for it." "What's up?" asked his clever capper, and Bill related: "I brought three head of Durham calves down here from Winnebago county and I have got premiums on all of them. I was having them put on the cars to send home" by this time the attention of every granger in the car was attracted "when the consarned fools let one of them break aleg on the bridge from the cattle pen to the stock car, and they had to kill it to put it out of its misery. I wouldn't have taken $200 for the calf, but the railroad tells me I was shipping at reduced rates and ain't got any claim." HOW HE GATHERED THEM IN. The conversation that ensued and the statement that Bill had made put him on the best possible terms and in the confidence of all the grangers, and so when he pres ently spread his overcoat, and said first, "I'll bb 3 the road, anyhow," and then, "I found this little game that'll be fanny for the Winnebago folks, anyway," he had no lack of listeners and interested watchers, and after that is accomplished the work of the three-card monte man is easy. Human nature, rich with avarice, does the rest. Bill drew out his caads and proceed to tell how he had won $530, after losing $60, "just as easy," he went on, "as this. Now, here's the money," and he pulled out a pig-s-kin pocketbook, tied np with twine, which he undid. and exposed a pile of notes to the amount of several hundred dollars. "Ho discount on that; easier made than taming a long furrow." His capper asked for explanation, and Bill told him all there was in it, and lost forthwith $20 to his accomplice. By. this time half a dozen pocket-books were out, and bets came in freely. In half an hour the train reached Tolono, where passengers change tor Chicago, and Bill, about $200 ahead, got up, remarking, "Well, gentlemen, I'm going to Chicago to see a lawyer about recovering for that calf. Goodnight." And before the astonished grangers could realize the situation he had disappeared through te door. Half an hour afterward he was see.? on the north bound train, dressed in the height of fashion and looking like anything but the coarsely clad man on the Wabash road. It is Bald that Canada Bill made $100,000 during bis career as a card-thrower, but when he died in council Blurts, jowa, he left just enough of money to give him a decent funeral. Like many of his profession, he found at the faro table his greatest pleasure, and his winnings went from him more easily than they came. He was a great player ot draughts, ana won much money that way. Of his early life not much is known. He was born and lived for some years at Peekskill, N. Y., on the Hudson, just below Poughkeepsie. He was often arrested, bat never stayed long in prison. After the war his field of operations was mostly on the Pacific railroads, west of Omaha. A VISIT TO PHILADELPHIA. Himself a man of daring and personal courage, he often had to face men more des perate than himself, nut ms presence ot mind never deserted him, and when everything else failed he was as ready with a weapon as his adversary. He never drank to excess and had no intimate friends. Some years ago be visited Philadelphia. It was in the days when faro flourished here and the Btrict orders of the police had not substituted ooker in private for faro in gambling rooms. Bill came with $5,000 in his pocket. He was the guest of a well known Sansom street sporting man, and Bill remarked to his host: "I'm only going to lose $500 a night, so I'll stay 10 days." He went into a Ninth street room that evening and left the entire $5,000 on the table in less than two hours. For a month or two be operated in this vicinity, Every week he would come back from his trip with $200 or $300, and at every visit he left it all before the box. One night he nut out $700. and when it bad gone he turned iu his chair and said to the owner of the house: "Lend me a hundred; I'm going to Chicago." He sent the money back the next week, with a letter which read: "Much obliged for the money. Chicago is good enough for Canada Bin " The Queen of Hash. rSalt Lake Trlbune.1 In the great, wide West there are many single men's boarding houses. They are not like home. . One of the most prominent features of them is the Queen of Hash. This Is the sirl that waits on the table. There

are thousands of men on the .Pacific slop whoee enjoyment of respectable ladies' society has been for years

limited to the waiter elrl. It has been so with me. Hence her power. Doubtless many a good-hearted countrv airi. on beina employed in a single men's boarding house, has started in with the honest purpose of behavingmodestly and being agreeable alike to alL Bat the boarders will pay her little attentions, compliment her, speak politely to her when they come in to meals, pleasantly to her on leaving, and gallantly to ber belwsen these two times. This has its effect Ever-recurring attentions and compliments, like the attrition of water, after a while show. The girl becomes puffed np with adulation; she can not stand prosperity. The once modest girl, blushing from the country, becomes imperious. From smiling responsive to the pleasant remarks of the boarders, she changes to receiving them coldly; and on, and on, until the kindliest attention from the poor male boarder is met with disdain. She has become the Queen of Hash. A boarder begins to feel it imperceptibly creeps upon him that his daily hash de pends upon the arDitrary will of this queen. He becomes crouching to her. When one anywhere, or under any circum stances, becomes dependent upon another wno can give and withhold leod at pleasure, it unmans the hungry dependent. The poor men-boarders discover, all too late, that they have been for months forging their own chains. The proprietor or proprietress of the boarding house never eeems to understand that the hired girl has become a veritable Queen of Hash. The queen's influence is something mysterious and subtle, and seems to be fully understood only by herself and her thralls. So she occupies a throne erected In a hash-bouse, and wields a scepter which cows the boldest boarder. The poor men endure on through many weary months, Doping lor a change a new dynasty but ever hoping against hope. For the landlord or landlady can not, like the boarders, feel the galling chains; and the queen never thinks of abdicating no, no. too soft a thing! Her subjects can only console themselves with the thought, there is no yueen ol Mash on the "ShiningSbore." I have gone to my breakfast, when the queen would stride into the dining-room, looking as if something had crossed her, set down my coffee with a jerk, the breaft with a slam, the potatoes with a bang, and the beefsteak, knowing she could not hurt it. with a crash. Tht n, as she moved majestically away, I would say, not knowing hardly what to do, but tilled with a desire to show my loyalty, "It's a nice morning," which she would notice no more than she would the barking of a small dog coming faintly from five or six blocks awsy. At such times I feel a great heart-emptiness; feel world-weary, and as if I would like to be on the shining shore, sitting down in a nice shady place, and no goats. The ouly thing that diverts the thoughts of the downtrodden boarders from gloomily dwelling on their enslaved condition is the watcning ot the new boarders their conduct for a few days after they come in, and before they are finally crashed. The cheery "The top ol the morntn' to yez ' oi the new Irishman; the smiling "Wie-gehts" of the German; the hearty, laconic "How!" of the American, are, in a tew days, changed into a deeply respectful "Good morning, mies," which sometimes she deigns to notice, bat oftener does not. A new border may for a while get along charmingly with the queen; she smiles on him he grins responsively. He enthusiastically tells the other boarders that she is "a nice little duck." They say no thing: each has been there. The elated boarder even contemplates marrying the queen. Poor tool in Drown duck, the idea of his becoming allied to royalty! It is only the flattering of the moth around the can dle, ms destruction win not omy te sure, but tremendous. Lincoln's Heart, Judge Bromwell, of Denver, contributes a touching reminiscence of Lincoln, which illustrates bis natural tenderness of heart. and at the same time his unbending rigor in the -penormance ot what he believed to be -his duty. The recital makes a picture worthy of preservation, as that of the old Roman father whose higher duty to his country compelled him to condemn his son to death and sink the affectionate father in the inexorable judge. It was in Washing ton in March, 1865. Lincoln was talking with several friends and among others was Bromwell upon decisions ol life and death, when he opened his heart thus: I reckon there never was a man raised in the country on a farm, where they are always butchering cattle and hogs, and think nothing of it, that ever grew up with such an aversion to bloodshed as I have; and yet I've had more questions of life and death to settle in four years than all the men who ever sat in this chair put together. But I've managed to get along and do my duty, I believe, and still save most of them, and there's no man knows the distress of my mind. Bat there have been some of them I couldn't save there are some cases where the law must be executed. There was that man . who was sentenced for piracy and slave trading on the high . seas. That was a case where there must bs an example, and yoa don't know how they followed and pressed to get him par doned or his sentence commuted, but there was no use of taUinz. It had to be done; I couldn't help him; and then there was that , who was caught spying and recruiting within Pope's lines in Missouri. That was another case. They besieged me day and night, but I couldn't give way. We had come te a point where something must be done to put a stop to such work. And then there was this case of Beal on the lakes. That was a case where there must be an example. They tried me every way. They wouldn't give up; but-1 had to stand firm on that, and I even had to turn away his poor sister when she came and begged for his life, and let him be executed; and he was executed, and I can't get the distress out ot my mind yet. His recurrence to the scenes of his boyhood in the country, in view of the responsibilities ot his position as an arbiter of life and death, are characteristics of the man as his friends knew him, and of the type of American that the country knew him. He carries the simplicity and tenderness of a country boy's heart into the place of chieftain of the people. The chronicler states further, that while making the recital tear? ran down the kindly man's cheeks, and the eyes of those around him moistened in sympathy. They left him. absorbed in these memories. in silence, and three weeks alter he was killed. The Warner Silver Bill. I Washington SDeclal.1 The advocates of the Warner silver bill in the Senate will make another attempt to morrow to pass the Coke resolution dlscharg ing the Senate committee on finance from further consideration of the bill. The sena tors who desire the passage of the bill at the present session ot (Jongresa nave been laoor ing with the friends of the measure who oppose hasty action, and it is claimed that enough votes have been oDtainea to take tie bill out of the committee. There is every reason to believe that the soft money men are reckoning without their host. By a vote of 22 to 21 the Senate last Tuesday refused to take the resolution from the vice president's table. -a . Wade Hampton made a fair point on Mr. Blaine when he said in reply to tne com plaint that there were too many Confederate brigadiers in the present Congress, that he regretted there were not more union sol diers In the two Houses, because he had realised that the men who had fought each other in battle bad very little dimcaity in understanding each other when the war was over.

AMERICAN COTTON GOODS.

A Large Increase in the Export Trade. The Best Grades Made In This Country Comparing Favorably With the Finest Manufactured In England and France. INew York Tribune. The article recently published in Provi dence asserted that the official statistics of the first quarter of the present year showed that the United States imported from En gland 18,165,600 yards of cotton piece goods against 15,052,000 for the same time in 1878, and added that "it is a fact that the best cotton goods sold in this State are manufac tured in England and France." Importers and manufacturers in this city say that the conclusions of the Providence article are unjust and erroneous. They claim that 80 per cent, of all the imported cotton goods are taken ont of bond between January and May, being landed here from December to March, thus making the importations of the first quarter of the year apparently very heavy; while the first six months of the year In this country are devoted to home trade, the. export business begins in May and continues to increase each month until December. The exports of cotton goods for the week ending May 19 were nearly 4,000 packages, and in a few weeks it is estimated that they will reach 10,000 packages a week. The valne of cotton goods of all grades exported during 1878 was about $12,000,000, and merchants estimate that nearly 50 percent, more goods will be exported this year. As to the assertion that the best cotton goods sold in Rhode Island are manufactured in England and France, the response was that this would be true if only one piece of the very finest French lawn were sold there; but that it is an undeniable fact that the cotton goods manufactured in Bhode Island are sold largely in England under the shadow of the best English mills. The official state ment of exports and imports for nearly six months of the present year shows, it is claimed, that in cotton goods, the balance of trade is in no immediate danger of changing against this country. The exports from January 1, to May 19, have been $3,437,193, against $2,311,705 during the same time in 1878, or an increase this year of $1,125.3S8. The imports since January 1, have been $7,353,088. against $7,004,742 for the same Urns in 1878, an increase of $348,346. A representative of A. T. Stewart & Co., who both import and export cotton goods. said: "Reports like this are calculated to do great Injury to our growing export trade. f or some years the importation ot the hner qualities of English goods has fallen off with the general list of importations, and they may have revived a little this year. It is not just to base an estimate of the volume of the general export trade on the customs reports of the first quarter of the year, as this is the time when the bulk ot the imported light cotton fabrics are taken out of bond for spring and summer wear. Our American cotton goods are as a rule much finer than the English manufactures. Our exports are rapidly Increasing, and already they are nearly 50 per cent, more than those of 1378 for the same time." It was said by a representative of Garner & Co., manufacturers of and dealers in American cotton goods, "there can be no dispute that the French manufacture a finer quality of cotton goods than we do, but tnese are principally lawns and light gauzy fabrics, for which a few people pay high prices. Only a small quantity of them comes here, and it is not unfair to say that nine-tenths of all the lawns sold in this country are of American manufacture. Our mills have greatly improved, and the quality ot fabrics turned out is far superior to that of last year. We are now making superior lawns, percales and gauze goods, nearly equal to the French in fineness, and far more serviceable. The very best cotton foods sold in Rhode Island may possibly be rench and English, but this is not true of other States. The manufactories of New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut make splendid cotton fabrics. The same quality of goods as that manufactured in trance could be made here, but it would not pay, as these goods are purchased by only a few persons , who - are willing to pay 35 cents a yard for fabrics which are really not worth over 15 cents. England is not making any finer goods than America, and as a rule English goods are not so fine as American. The body of English goods is made equal to ours in weight" frequently by the use of clay instead of cotton. Hingiand is even imitating our trade-marks for cotton fabrics to be sent to China, and one American house has been compelled to copyright its labels in England, to prevent this. A greater quantity ot very hue goods for home trade is being manufactured now than ever before, and several large factories are working from 5 a. m. to 10 p. m. on fine lawns to take the place of foreign eoods. There have been recently more orders to American manufactories for British trade than ever before." Members of the firm of Denny, Poor Jt Co. said: "There are finer cotton goods made in France and England than here, but not for general American use, most of them being sent elsewhere. American cotton dress goods have greatly improved in quality, and they are taking the place of foreign cotton and worsted goods. This is especially true of the manufacturers of Pennsylvania, Rhode Is land. Massachusetts and Connecticut. Within three years over 10,000 looms have been altered, greatly improving piques and light goods for spring and summer wear. There are over 30 different kinds of fine cotton goods now In the market which were not manufactured in this country four years ago." A Rhode Island manufacturer said: "There is a steady improvement going on in Ameri can cotton goods. One mill in Rhode Island is now making Victoria and Bishop lawns and laconets that are equal to any made abroad, and Brittish manufacturers have frankly admitted that they will destroy their trade. Certain mills in Mew England are turning out percales equal to the finest foreign fabrics that formerly sold largely in our market, and at a much lower price." The various denominations are growing rapidly in Kansas. The Baptists have 69 churches and 16,083 members; Congregationalists, 59 churches and 5,620 members; Episcopalians, 22 churches and 1,389 members; Lutherans, 33 churches and 4,5)30 members; Methodists, 152 churches and 33.767 members; Presbyterians, 99 churches and 8,961 members; United Presbyterians, 15 churches and 1.469 members; Roman Catholics, 111 churches and 63,610 population. At St. Oued cemetery, in France, a hus band, after trimming his wife's grave, knelt down, arranged his hair and dress, took off bis hat, made a sign ot the cross ana blew out his brains. He had been a widower si ace January.
