There Is-said to . be ample capital back, of the enterprise. ..., - v . . It is to t hoped, It is said In Eng ''land, that this venture by English , manufacturers will b entirely suc cessful " ltev success will mean much .,. for the cotton trade.

It may be esufely assumed that ' the present ( methods of preparing cotton for mar Mtet cannot exist "permanently siong- aide of right methods... - The tormer have continued because all American , cotton has been and to baled.

"; " ' ' ' - Though some things "may be done bet ter In" England than 'In this country, there is reason to "believe i that some things are not done so well. In deullng with - the ' somewhat' .perplexing .subject of tainted money, for example, or money that is regarded tainted, It may be doubted if we have anything to tears from the procedure Of our British cous ins, v - . : . There passed away recently In Lon don an estimable woman, a woman well wcrtb having, possessed of some 120,000. 0U bequeathed to her by her first hus. band, a noted moneylender.' And tt is related that when this woman -became the wife of a young lieutenant of the Scots Guards Who was forced, to leave the service in consequence, of tbe alli ance, and she forwarded a check for t&ooo to his regiment In an endeavor to mollfy his brother officers, they aooept d the girt but remained obdurate. It has been said of American that they Uck tha polish and refinement of the old world civilisation; that they are avaricious and grasping; that the finer sensibilities and powers of nicer discern ment have not yet had the time noces sury to that full development which de notes complete mastery over -what Is crude end sharp-cornered and . coarse grained in human nature. First and last, almost everything- that la unpleas ant and designed to wound and rankle and humiliate hus been said of 'Ameri cans. - But discussing our shortcomings and peculiarities among ourselves, as we frequently-and freely do discuss them, what would be thought, what sort of In dictment would be drswn in the case of an organisation, a church militant or a military company or an Impecunious and struggling institution of learning which, having prayerfully and grateful ly .received assists nee from a suspicious character a plutocrat pursued by sher iffs. It msy be refused to rooognlse the donor,, and Invent excuses for him and stand with him shoulder to shoulder gainst the combined assaults of his de ti actors 7 The mere asking of the question con stitutes sn offence, because on this side of the water conduct of which the Soots Guards ar proudly and complacently guilty would be aa Impossible as It ts in comprehensible and unpardonable. More over, in England the money of the money lender Is ths money of the -nobility In the form of encumbered rata tea leaking castles, family Jewels, pictures, f lists, and plaster casta. A most deserv ng and useful person ts the money lend er everywhere, a person who may be ap proached without fear and trembling, as friends and acquaintance may not be approached In the hour of our extrem ity and ' withal an abused and sorely maligned person. - " It was the privilege of the Scots Ousrds, of course, to turn their straight bf.cka on the money of the money lend er; but, having pocketed that money, It was their obvious duty to unbend. ; lines to a Collar Button.
