No Longer a Joke.
Those of the New England cotton
mill owners who have emiled for some
years at the thought of Southern com
petition, are growing aerioua over it.
They have become aware that their
Southern competitors can obtain an
abundance of capital and of labor, can
get as many ekilled operatives from the
forth as may be needed, can manu
facture the finer grades of goods, and
can market boththe coarse and the fine
grades more cheaply than they can be
marketed from New England. Some
of the Northern mill owners who had
established branches in the Carolinas
and Georgia, are transferring their
plants to these States -because 01 the
superior facilities obtainable there.
The truth ,is that the change, which
began in a small way a few years ag-,
has steadily increased in magnitude,
and has become a matter of gravity
more especially for Massachusetts and
Connecticut It is folly to try any
longer to belittle that change.
The above is au editorial taseu
from the New York Sun, and goes

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Niagara Falls, N. Y, Feb. n.
Tourists and visitors to Prospect
Point were rather startled to see
two men standing on a large ice
formation on the brink of the
American Falls this morning
waving their handkerchiefs. The
two figures were strongly out;
lined aeainst the black back
ground of Goat Island, and were
made even more distinctly clear
by the sun, which was shining
brightly. The men were Jack Mc
Cloy, the famous guide, and
young E.J. Wilcoxen, a clerk io
the State Reservation. The two
men had ventured over the ice and
snow formation from Robinson's
Island below Goat Island to the
edge of the American Falls off
Luna Island. It was a perilous
and exciting trip.
The men started from Bath
Island over the frozen river to
Ro"binson Island. Here they tied
ropes to each other's bodies, and
with long pike poles started for
the brink over the ice mounds and
galleys. They experienced many
a slip and one or two falls, but ar
rived safely- at the largest ice
mountain, which they explored,
and mounted to the top, where no
man had ever before ventured
without being swept over down to
the rocks below, nearly 200 feet.
The mountain on which the men
stood was some 25 feet higher
than the edge of the falls. Looking
over the too it was discerned that
it had frozen from the foot of the
falls and represented a perpendicu
lar ice mountain over 200 feet high.
The scene over the falls down on
the big ice bowlders and grotesque
formations was a strangely grand
one, according to the story of Mc
Cloy and Wilcoxen. Following
upon this thrilling venture,
Michael Topping, a reservation
officer, came over from the Three
Sisters Islands with a story of how
he had visited tbe old wreck out
io the Canadian channel. Ncf per
son has, previous to this, been able
to reach this stationary fixture
which every guest to Niagara has
seen, and about which they have
inquired. This trip was not made
without a certain amount of risk
and excitement. The extreme cold
wave and blizzard made forma
tions here io the snow and ice
never before seen, and the river is
frozen in places never before
covered.

some children without means and
went to Kentucky.
He won the heart of Miss

There is going to be a Lot time
in the Senate when consideration
of tbe postofiice appropriation bill
is reached. Not only did the Sen

service which vests absolute dis
cretion in the Postmaster General
and repeals all existing laws on
tbe subject. This was inserted at
the instance of Chairman Vilas,
