Cotton.

Cotton is indebted for its name to the Arabs, who called it ‘* katun,” which like all imported words, has been fashioned to suit the language of its cultivaters. The tropical regions of India and America both claim cotton as one of their indigenous pro- ductions, and the claim is good in both cases. Hervudotus some five centuries be- fore the Christian era mentions the fact for India, and Columbus confirmed it for America ab@mt A. D. 1500, when he found the inhabitants generally wearing native cotton. »

Cotton is the vegetable wool of the pods of the Gosgpwum, of which there seems, ac- cording to the rules of botanical analysis, to be only two species, viz., the common cotton plant (Gossypium herbaceum), and a native of the West Indies (Gossypium Bar- hadense), known as the sea-isle cotton plant. Practically mi tue fibre arket the only dis- crimination lies between the long and short stapled, notwithstanding the distinguishing names derived from the different sources of cotton supplies.

Pliny in the first century described ‘* katun”’ as growing in the branches of the ** gossampime,”’ a name which still survives in the French, and to which our English word ‘‘ gossamer,” is evidently related. Richardson’s explanation of the latter word is worth noting; he derives ‘‘ gossamer ” from ‘*gors” (hoar), and ** summer,” its season. His idea was that the summer cot- ton looked like winter hoarfrost, and could properly be called ‘‘gors-summer;” but he must have drawn upon his fancy as much as on his facts for his conclusion. Keightley has another fanciful derivation for gossamer, and says that the fine film (samite), spun by spiders upon gorse (furze), produced it from the two words, **gors” and **samyt;” but whatever may be its origin the idea associated with it is always one of delicacy of form and ful- ness of beauty, when as is sometimes the case, whole fields are covered by the Arach- neide with finely spun silk, and then em- pearled by the dew gifts of nature,

Cotton seems to have been brought into Europe (anno 627,) by the followers of Mahomet.

The introduction of cotton into China was an occurrenceof the thirteenth century, and it assumed the botanical name of Gossypium religiosum, being most probably one of the beneticient legacies left to the Celestials by Marco Polo’s missionaries. In Nankiun (the central capital of China, anno 420), cotton manufacturers were an early success, the missionary cotton suited the country, and native ingenuity was stimulated to produce cloth. The result was that an article now universally known as ‘‘nankeen” was made, dyed buff-color, and held its pre-eminenee for some 500 years, or till American enterprise applied itself to its home manufacture, and then it was outrivalled in every respect at the looms of the United States.

Cotton began to be cultivated in Spain in the tenth century, but not in Italy till the fourteenth.

In the latter part of the seventeenth cen- tury, England was so fluoded with cotton fabrics, called ‘* Indian muslins, chintzes and cottons,” that William Ill got alarm- ed, and his Parliament actually passed an act in the year 1700, prohibiting importa- tions of such goods, and forbade calicoes to be worn. In 1702, however, the royal author of this teetotal prohibition fell from his ‘‘ high horse” and was killed; but it was in calico he went to his tomb. It was not till the present century that cotton re- covered its natural rights and .became the staple commodity of England. We can realize the enormous magnitude of the cotton interests of the present day all over the globe, if we are experts at large figures ; but if we make the same effort fora knowledge of the cotton enterprise at a former period of English history, viz., in 1721, we shall very likely be surprised at our discoveries, for at that date in England the penalty for wearing calico was $25 (£5), and for selling it $100 (£20),—a state of uncommercial tyranny that is almost incon- ceivable in this year of grace 1888.

Calicut, a city of India, visited by the Portuguese in 1498, manufactured a cotton cloth which became known as calico, and the East India Company in 1631 conveyed the first bale of it to England. In 1676, at Richmond, near London, a Frenchman using the ** Dutch-loom engine” set up a calico factory, and most probably connected calico printing with the weaving, for it was about this time that the printing of calico became a new industry with the English people. Muslin, named from Moussol in India, whence it was taken to England, was first worn there in 1670, when Sam. Cromp- ton, a Lancashire man, invented a spinning machine which gave birth to British muslin and cambric manufacture. This machine was called a ‘*‘ mule,” because is combined Hargreave’s spinning jenny and Arkwright’s adaptation. Crompton did not patent his invention, but so great was its usefulness that Parliament in 1812 (that year which is so deeply graven on American history), voted to reward him with a purse of £5,000; but what was $25,000 for such an industrial boon ¢

BY C,

Mr. Henry Labouchere writes: ‘‘ A person who is thoroughly acquainted with the young Emperor tells me that heis a true Junker, which in English means truculent Tory Jingo; a man of decided ability and thorough practi- cal knowledge of affairs of every kind, exceed- ingly headstrong and self-willed ; and one danger to peace 1s that, having never been in war, he may become inspired by a morbid craze to associate his name with some great

change while Bismarck lives. Emperor Wil- liam never quarreled with Russia, for the reason that he liked that country, its people and methods of government, and his personal

and was untiring for years before his death in exhorting his grandson never to enter upon war with Russia.”

VOL. 23.—-NO. 58. Behring's Sea Dispute. ae

(Toronto Globe.)

_ According to reports from Ottawa the 'Washington Government have agreed to arbitrate with Downing street in the matter of compensation to Canadian sealers seized last year and the year before in Bebring’s Sea by United States revenue cut- ters. If this be true the Washington people have in effect retired from their monstrous pretence to exclusive juris- ‘diction in those waters. It ist alleged that ithe British Governmeut had determined on ‘the strong but prudent course of sending a man-of-war up there with instructions to retake and release any Canadian vessel captured by U. 8S. officials outside the three-mile limit. There could, indeed, be no other sound British policy in the matter after sec long a delay. To have agreed to arbitrate with Washington upon the United States claim of exclusive | jurisdiction would have been tantamount to admitting that that claim, totally un- founded in international law, had some basis of right. It appears the American Government had the good sense to retire before any danger of conflict between arm vessels of the two nations became imminent. If they have, as is reported, instructed their Behring’s Sea officials to protect only the waters within the league limit, then a serious international business has been finally and happily got out of the way, for it may be taken fur granted that the ‘‘mixed commission” will award full compensation to Canadian sealers at American expense. The case appears to be one in which a large claim for indirect damages on behalf of the 3ritish Columbian fishermen, who have been long deterred from pursuing their in- dustry in Behring’s Sea, might properly be laid.

The Doctors’ Quarrel.

The doctors’ quarrel over the treatment of the late Emperor of Germany, says the New York Independent, is disgraceful, but not much more so than some other quar- rels of doctors over the last hours of dis- tinguished patients that we in America have had knowledge of. Drs. Bergmann and Gerhardt have been decorated by the Emperor after publishing a statement re- flecting in the severest manner on the skill and honesty of Dr. Mackenzie, the English doctor in chief charge of the late Emperor Frederick’s case. That means that Bis- marck approves of this attack, signed by these two docturs, but not signed by eight other German ductors who were in consul- tation in the case. The presumption is that these two dissatisfied and jealous doc- tors are wrong, and that seems to be the view in Vienna as well as London. But the chief interest in this case again, as in that of the Servian Queen Natalie, is in the political bearing of the matter. It were hardly worth Bismarck’s while to allow this attack to be published, uniess there were some attack meant either on the dowager Empress Victoria, or on the legiti- macy of Frederick’s own elevation to the throne. If it can be made to appear that the concealment of the real fatal nature of the Emperor's malady was purposely con- cealed and denied so that Frederick might succeed to the throne, and so that Victoria might be Empress, then the charge of fraud on the German nation can be made the ground of refusing Victoria her allowance as dowager Empress, and the action taken toward liberalisin in removing Puttkamer, etc., can be reversed by the present young Emperer without so much appearance of disloyalty to the me:ory of his father. At any rate, the loyalists of the divine-right sort are in the saddle, and are likely to stay there until William dies, or thore is a revo- lution. The look of things is ominous.

ov~~ipigrecnnttiny estppsitiietiiccile The Situation in South Africa.

The despatch of a British regiment to Zululand from Egypt is strongly indicative of **a little war” in Africa, and unfortuna- tely these little wars some times grow till the cost is heavy, both in money and blood. Trouble has been brewing for some time in that quarter. The Zulus and other tribes could easily be kept quiet and contented with a little judicious management, were it not that the Boers are always fomenting disturbance among them. The old difficulty used to be that these Boers, by systematic oppression of the natives, enslaving them and robbing them, aroused their hostility to all white men, causing troubles that had to be suppressed. But of late the Boers, for various reasons, seem to think they have a chance of ousting the British from South Africa and of becoming the uncon- trolled despots of enslaved nations. (Some day that question will have to be definitely decided. Meanwhile the British settlers far inland may be exposed to some risks, and this is especially the case with the people at the diamond mines,

A Story About Bismarck.

The latest story of Bismarck describes how he called on the Emperor the other day, and, while waiting in the ante-room, heard voices in the Imperial nursery and went ir. He found the little Crown Prince grinding away at a barrel organ, while the two younger Princes were trying to dance. ‘* Please, Prince Bismarck, come and dance with me,” said one of the youngsters. ** No, I am too old; I really penne) dance,” said the old gentleman, ** but if the Crown Prince will dance | will grind the organ for you all.” When the Emperor opened the door the Chancellor of the German Empire was found grinding away in a high state of pleasure and perspiration. The moral of the anecdote was drawn by His Majesty, |who said that, not content with making three generations of Hohenzollerns dance tohis pipe, Bismarck had already begun with the fourth.
