It is a signi8cant'henomenon of the age that in England and all over Europe the old reverence for aristocraCy, and that aristocratic exclusiveness which has comedown tous as a relic of feudal times, is rapidly dying out. This decay of an old and deeply rooted feeling is, it must be confessed, chiedy due to a change of sentiment among the privileged classes tbemselves. Less than a hundred years ago in England, it was the custom for the nobility to look down on wealth as some thing any tradesman might obtain, and to prefer pedigree and privilege to all things - but after these to exalt intellec tna6, or still better, artistic po*er. An old peer had rather a - pride in con trastinghis poverty with the nabob's, er h ta' wealth, as showing how little social position depended upon nheb at acidprnta'circumstance as the amoent of his-rent-roll. To realize how totalhrtbis feeling has changed, we have only to note the present temper of the Home Qf Lo ds as disclosed by recent_ sttgraoces of-several of its leading mem baa Only a 'month ago, Lord Salisbury deejired that in his opinion great wealth onulated in business gave a claim to a sesin the Tipper House ; that he wished thef eatims were allowed, and that the LeAa ought to represent all kinds of prerty--thereby, in his own judgment, at all eventa, doing all" the honor he could to possession of cash. Lord Gran tly ieferred,.in his place in the H to the money Lord Chairns had mab bis profession as one of his high esttiesto respect, and the Peers, do notsi'to bave thought the remark ang g nsnal. Even Lord Derby, sopgpe7 to represent aristoctatic feeling IVA p~ey than any English statesman, V that reason is said to carry the *n ,b pocket,. and. who appoints th. tlrepresentative Peers as fully as his,iherf appointed members of the Losser House, treated wealth as if it vee in itself a greatness, something whihls not bnoly-gave dignity to its pos sess-r ,but which ought to give dignity. - LBou," be said, "rests upon i ion 'tioo of sure and sttled property ;" it to o" sistof men with large ns"-ideas which a h et 'vet if entertained, w d ave been expressed, and wo d Q M d to the House, then verpAer,ntalest evolutionary.

There has been a great Jslump" In e Mic n~ A piece of ground, about e save g-feetjn d.iameter, sunk to a depth y of abot eighty feet, leaving an opening g~ in%the centre .through which a ened g~ . com ae o the rushing of mighty * waters, At least such is the story iol What as.e e oIt I The World publishes the recent speech of General Alcorn, Senator elect from Mississippi, setting forth some startling facts for the consideration of the Reptblican party. It conteents upon the words of the Senator, who is the acknowledged leader of his party in theJouth-in the following languaget In this speech the orator sets forth and proves that the Southern cotton in terest-which, in the palmy days of the republic, before the rebellion, used to bring into the country an annual sum of $250,000,000, gold-has been all but de molished by that collision ; that since the outset gf the war, a colossal conspir acy, initiated by British capitalists and manufacturers, encouraged by the British Government, and joined in by the gov ernments and capitalists of other na tions, has been at work for the estab lishment of cotton culture abroad, and the breaking down of the American cot ton monopoly ; that this conspiracy has so far succeeded that, even in 1864, thirty-nine sources, exclusive of the United States, contributed, for instance, to the supply of cotton at Manchester ; that Austraila, Jamaica, French West Indies, Greece, Turkey, Brazil, Portugal, Morocco, Egypt, Italy, Austria (on the Adriatic) Hayti, Malta, Japan, China ard Venezuela were among the produ cers; that the average fibre of foreign cotton, in fourteen instances, was equal, for average purposes of manufacture, to the American fibre ; and that in several, and in fact most of the countries named. etton can be cultivated and exported to England at cheaper rates than American planters, since the downfall of slavery and u+.der present conditions, can aford. These are the merest skeletonic sugges tions of the numerous sledge-hammer facts-each riveted by a quotation from the - most rectr.t official authorities lhrougL"t the world--with which Gen eral Alcorn seeka to pound the conviction into the minds of mun in the United tates that the war, and tihe policy of repression pursued by Congrest ir the south after the war, has not only par! yzed an induat-y-which once sent out f the country three-foertha of its ex orts in the form of raw cotton, but has ,nabled foreign industry to establish igainst it, in the meantime, an over thadowing competition. What the radi aTa of New England -the manufacturing nonopolists there who stay stagnant in he delusive hope that Sumner will yet ievise some way to smash Great Britian ;enerally-will say to this,. remains to e seen.

He tried otte, could neither bite nor break it, and called to his assistance his little son, atid how each at one end they commenced to pall, and how it stretched and 'stretched, until it,ally his son disappeared, and never returned more, and how the good farmer vowed 'never to buy any more of such flour. Now as we never publish anonymous communications, we are forced to lay this one aside, Tor fear lest the good farmer ~may attempt to. do us injury.

' Roszxonv Cuxra.-Recently. exam ning an illustrated catalogue of Iron work, n which are a variety of specimens or patterns for fences or enclosures for burial ots, our thoughts reverted at once to Rose nont Cemetery, and its great-need of such >rnamentation as these beautiful tailings afford, and that all other Cemeteries, those f Columbia, Charleston, -Augusta, Savan ah, &c., are beautiful in this respect, being ,us made doubly attractive as a place of esort and quiet meditation to the friends and families of those who mouilder~in the md. Rosement needs something of 'this ind, besides too that beauty which ever greens, drooping foliage, trailing vines, hade trees and flowers give. There is no sentatious pride in this beautifying and dorning the city of our dead, but rather it hows a love and affection and tender miem ry for the loved and gone. And who would not rather visit a spot thus made oautiful, than the almost barren waste. hich Rosement now presents. ,Here and here is an enclosure tastefully laid off, but he lsrge proportion of the lots have no. hing more than the mournful mound to how that there is a burial lot, anid here leep the loved and the lost. In most cases eraps an Inability to incur the cost of ~rnamenting or enciosing these lots is the ~ause of nothing having been dlone. In thers it is not so, however. and as far as ossible, all that can be done should be. hese iron enclosures have much to recoms end them, the chief features of which re their b.ewitty, durability anid cheapness. o much to be preferred are they to roo4, that ge variety of style sind fiAg8h nd sise are sufcentj to please the ,000 from the working of wood. Their first cost is little more than for wood, and their du. rability really makes them cheaper. We would suggest that if any lot owner con templates an enclosure, that he give the preference to the beautiful iron railing, and that hereafter all of the lots as far as possible be thus distinguished. Then will Rosemont be a perpetual beauty. and not show in the course of a few years a waster ing decay of tumbling, rotting wooden en closures. Messrs. Goldsmith & Kind, cf Columbia, artistic workers in iron and brass, and who have placed their impress on most of the public works of that city, and helped also to beautify many of her private places, we are pleased to state, can furnish all infor matioo as to design or price for the work 'spoken off, and can also manufacture the same with the utmost promptness, and we take pleasure in recommending them to the notice of our citizens interested in Rose mont Cemetery.

The sweet simplicity and unaffected earn estness of little Annie made her attractive to strangers, whilst her uniform amiability and heart-felt affection endeared her to the home circle, and those more intimately ac quainted. She loved the Sabbath School, and to sing its sweet hymns; prompted by this love, she-had expressed the desire, in a former sickness to be buried near the church dear to her from such associations. The same wreath, prepared for the corona -tion of her sister as Queen of May, was placed upon her bier, and the same dress arranged for her appearance on that Ies tive occasion, enshrouded her for the tomb. Such is life I As she first claimed her place in the fam ily group on a holy Sabbath morn, it seemed meet that on the same sacred day, her spirit should' return to God who gave it. Weep no, parents, brothers and sisters Dear Annie has only "gone before," and beckons you to "come up higher." Let the parents rejoice in the privilege of hav ing been permitted to add one more angel, one more harp to the heavenly choir, and tke brothers and sisters emulate her sweet example. P. Extract from a letter from Santa Croix. * * * * * We had wandered for many hours through tangled forests of Tropical shrubs and trees,. some of them emitting a most delicious and invigorating odor, when we suddenly came upon a large and well eultiastEd plantation, in the cen tre of which were several buildings. Enter ing these, we found them to be the "press houses," still?, &c., where the su_ar cane is crushed for the manufacture of St. Croix Rum. Over 100 Coohes were at work, and the smell from the fomenting rats was very exhilaratingand pleasant. We were shown through the entire establishment, and learn ed that all the Rum here produced was shipped to Messrs. P. H. Drake & Co., New York, to be made into their celebrated Plantation Bitters. The. peculiar good ef fects of this Rum-which is the purest and - best in the world-ar. well-known. Not asiugle ease of byspepsia, Fever and Ague, Consumption, or any such disease can be fdund on this Island, (e+cept of invalids -a come here for their health, ar.d they are a almost always cured). Combined with Gal- ; ieaya Bark, Cascarilla, and other impor- t tant Ingredients, this Rum becomeb Plants- I tion Bitteis ; and surely no finer Tonic and general Family Remedy was ever seen. a The combination of these Bitters was first liscovered bere -many years ago, and all I the W,tives swear by Plantation. Bitters, and say "therd is nothin: like it." Judg ing by the-robust health of the witntesses, I am certain their Aestimony is true. *0. ~* . *L.8.T.
