UNPARALLELED DEPRESSION. Among: the Mills of New England -No - Market at All for Goods. v, ^ Boston, Mass.?It lias not taken n * t'ght money market long to have a mo it dcjyesdng off ct oa ths cotton and woolen industries ol New England. This luflueoce was first fc't in the shape; of a rapid dcclino In prices. It didn't take long for tho manufacturers to see that reducing prices did no good whatever. The merchants will buy no goads at any price. It is not lika piling up goods in ordinary times for in the usual trade dc prcssions many goods move aud it is simply a ma'tcr for the miils t > ruu aud nrraoge to carry the surplus. But lntt.rly prices weut down rapidly to where New Kugl.nd hat no profit loft and it i9 a j mute.-of pl'ing up tho cut vrj" production of a mill to bo ab'e to ni l a1, all. In tho i pr-fence of. this conditio) of things many m ils lnve shut down und many otlursarc h>|ing for 9imo chan^l# for 1 the belter. While the Sherman bill is ubu ed, thcro arc yet those who think the en-so of tho toublc is in no way con uec ed with silver.

V\ hilo these ure troublous times I do not Iv.lLvc any Southern mi l lins yet r> ached thj point of losing money find this point is also significant. The Full Rivir in?-n so m to bo actually afraid to shutdown. It is customary at this sea* sou to close for a shoit period in the hot term for repairs, but at the present tiuie ooly on) small woo'en mil? and Guu uai fictory are el wed. The forty four principal and Inrg' corporations are ruunin; ^ on,but in uu unwilling spirit. The uoiiv= tries on contracts arc little or nothing iWjt Ouly this moriung the New York hanks ha c rent to a list of New England mills ab ut two million dollars on goods. This loan was thst arrangod through Boston ft. b nk -t at seveu percent., but when this fuct whs learned by the Now York capita ists they '"hiinated the Bo3ton banks from the t:an3R^.. n and loaned it to the mills at six per rent., on their own pnper, endorsed by tho commission men. I While it is said that cloth is being made in Fall Ihver at more than the I resent selling price the chief complaint is not so much a ^.icpiiou of price as an absolute Lck of orders. In Lowell tho outlook is very depressing. The entire population h dependent on the mills. It looks like the wheels must stop turning for sixty or ninety days. In Lawrence matters are very much in tho same shape and great hopes are held that the* Sherman law will he repealed and that business will at once revive. At the Crompton Loom Works, Worcester, one hundred men have been idle now for some time and the Knowlee Loom Works have discharged as many more. The shutting down of the Amoskeag mills has h id a very depressing effect and at Bi Meford, Maine, the Pcppcrel and Laconia mills have 5,000 hands who iuny any day be notified of a shut-down and the samo uncertainty prevails io Lew'ston, Auhu.n and Waterford, Maine. The New Englaud mills have, without doubt, reached a close net cost of prov.* duction and a further scarcity of orders V or a reduction in price means that there must be a general shut down. Thirty days more will determine this mntter. D. A. T. j < > OUR WORLD S FAIR LETTER ( Midway Plaibance, ( World's Faib, Chicago. In my last letter I teid ot my visit to the Irish Village, and of the textile exhibits there. Purauaut to my promise I now giro some statistics concerning the Irish textile industry. This under the oppressive laws of England was almost extinguished: Recent efforts to revive the fabric industry on the Emerald I?le have been attended with much success. The most prominent of these is tbe Donegal Industrial Fund, which wns fcuuded in December, 1883. Tbo initial capital was ?30; the lt*nirf hope ?uu determination; the motive, pity; the aim, redress; the object, industrial rcgensialion ; the founder and honorary manager, Mrr. Hait. Using her own house in Wimpole St., as her warehouso nnd ofJieo, knitting was the lirst industry taken up. Various knitting agcucics were formed in Coup*j Donegal, yarn and patterns supplied aud the goods sold ia London. HOMESPUN WOOLENS. This nucicnt industry had, as au industry, almost died out during the period of ucuto distress in 1879-83; but the people still made a rough cloth on clumsy lo mis for tl eir owu use. Wool was scarce and there was 110 market for the smull (piautitv of cloth made. Them, tler wis t.kcn up by the Donegal Industrial Fund and the industry organized and revived. The wo nen were traiued by means of itinerant technical teachers in the arts of vegetable dyeing and how to procure many of these dyes from the wild plants of the bog; the men were rft JmS&BBSS! '"viv ':j' 1 -y ?r:'ir-" - Till: LOCOMOTIVE SAMSON. taught,liow to make patterns, to improve tinir looms, to use the llv shuttle 8nd steel r?cd, and to make patterns and improve their methods of warping, drafting and weaving. Iis'ructions were g rcn in tha people's own, cntiajuc* ?? rooms lent or rented for the purpose, and were carried 011 from one end of Donegal to the other, from Fanad Head to Ivillybcgs. C onnie: ccd cutiiely out of her own rts uices, the Govern-un ut was to greatly pleased at the result of Mrs. Hart's technical teaching that they votcff'iXi'. j^Parliament in 1387 a grant of ?1000 to enable her to oxten 1 her scheme of technical teachiog in Co. Donegal. This was a very unusual mark of public confidence. With this mcne; she trained local technical teachers in djeing, weaving, lace making, carpenlry and wood carving, fct up a technical .school with branches north and south of it, and opened workshops where village apprentices are trained. The result of M rs Hait's technical teaching in Co. Donegal has been that the homespun industry has been revived and has taken on a vigorous existence, so that whereas in 1883 it was diflicult to purchase 1000 yards of ill made stulT, now not less thai. A JAVANESE TEA TIOVSS$100,000 c imes into the county for the homespuns that the people have been taught to make, in Gweedore, which owing to the remoteness of the district, its congestion and poverty and need of help, Mrs. Hart made the center of her operations, cottige industries have not only been stimulated and the hind looms of the weavers kept constantly employed, but weaving sheds have been put up for tho training and employment of the boys of the district, and a small steam factory for carding and spinning yarns. In this factory the farmer's wool is taken and worked up into blankets, llannels and t weeds as may be required. The whole mill is worked by local labor traiucd on the spot. TIIE KKLJ.S KM nilOIDEUY Were invented in lydt. Cla'ses for leaching them were opened in Iltllinakille, Parsons Town, Lurcania, Downpatrick ami 0w<edorc. They are now ni"stly worked in Co. Dublin.

The industry gives employment at good wag s to over 100 persons, and is rapidly increasing, chkfly awing to the demand in America. tiig iiosikry and oi.ovks > > Arc knit by hand in Co.

Turner, f the African Methodist Church, who ins been in Africa in the interest of the nission work of his church since Janlary, has returned to his homo in Atlanta, lishop Turner while he did not go to the )ark Continent in the iutereat of the col* inizstion of the uogro directly, yet he nadc that question an important part of lis observation. lie comes back to this louutry advocating colonization earnestly ,s the great hope of the negro. He came n contact with seme who had gone to the and of milk and honey, as it has been icld up to the colored brother by eraigraion agents from Georgia,and says they arc loing fairly well. Many of them are >rosperous. The Bishop, however, docs tot believe in sending the scum of his ace to Africa, but he thinks the chances br prosperity arc best with the intelli tent negro. Common laborers, he says, 'fi n be had iu ituuudance there for 23 j :ents a day and the negro in this eountry :ould not compete with them. His idea ? to encourage the colonization or emigration of negroe3 capable of employing he natives and helping to civilize tbem. The great drawback to emigration, he snvB, has heretofore been the lack of transportation facilities, the-re being no steamship line to Africa. This, however, bishop Turner is at work to ovcicome, lie 6ays he is now negotiating with European and New York capitalists to establish a line of steamers from New fork to Liberia and says the outlook for jarly success in the movement is good. Wlieu this line is established, Bishop l'limer will lend his iuflueuce toward in. iucing the emigration of the better class of negroes from this country. ARMED MEN SMILE AT GEORGIA. A Sheriff Daren't Touch For Feat They Will Shoot. Atlanta, Oa.?Sam Jenkins of lfuikc county recently went to Ocala, Fla., where he shot the town marshal to ri< nth and then returned home. There, surrounded by his three brothers, he proceeded to make himself easy. The Governor of Florida made n requisition on the Governor of Georgi?, and the latter ordered the arrest of Jenkins. Sheriff Ilurst, four days ago,telegraphed Gov. Northern that the Jenkins brothers were armed, and ho did not know what to do. He was ordered to summon eveiy man in the county if necessary. The next day the She'iff telegraphed again that he was afraid the Jenkinses might ah- ot. The Governor ngtin ordered him to do bis duty. The Sheriff still reports th it he has the house surrounded, but tint if he moves ho is sure the Jenkins * wi I lire on him. The Govcrnoi is at bis wits' ends as to what to do with a Sheriff who is afraid to make an an est for fear someone might g t hurt.

Denver, Col.?Two thousand hungry men were satisfied at the Haymarkct at noon and at many more went away hungry. Now hundreds of mon with families dependent upon their exertions hare bcon compelled to seek Parson Uxael's and Dean Peck's mission and sit with tho bums until food is passod to them. Those men aro not tramps. Thov arc men suddenly thrown out of work, and their money is spent. lucy do not talk unreasonably as a rule. They are too helpless for that. T^oy aro simply waiting and wend.-ring if there la to be aa immediate relief. The young men say: ''We shall go back East. There is no work here for us tJ do, and if we cannot get work we will have to got our living without work. Wo certainly wou't starve." A Cornish miner stood at tho Hay rasrket Mission, waiting for his turu to receive a bowl of bcaus aud a half loaf of bread. "I want to get out of Colorado," bo suid; "I want to go Ka*t, whero thci o is plenty." "What would you do thcr.-?" ns'<od another. "Tho factories aro closing down and there is no work for us." "Well, tlicro is plenty for starving meu, and it is more than you can sny for Colorado." A girl of Scotch birth walked all tho way from Colorado t'priugs to Denver and naked for aid. She said she had come from Boston under a year's contract to work in Htymoud's Hotel in Qleuwood Springs. She was to get return transportation If she was discharged at any time. This she did not get, and she had managed to reach Denver without asking assistance. Women are walking the streets raking for work in order to get food fur their children.

Tr.c otian^vi had an imposing appearance, and a plausibility 01 speech that was at once convincing. Nitnr illy enough,the Basic City people was i delighted especially thoie who had dipI cd rather deep in land future.) when the great land boom was on in the South. Tuese spccula'ivo gentleman, without any investigation as to the stranger's character, means, or ability to carry out the scheme proposed, hastily convened a meeting of thecitizmr of Basic City and laid before them in glowing languogc the oppottunities offered them by the imposing capitalist, who would establish a textile business which would not only enrich but adorn the city. After a fev proposition, approvals, and rebuttals, the sense of the meeting was taken which was found favorable to the agreement drawn up between the stranger of the llrst part and the citizens of Basic City of the second part. To Wit: that the stranger of first part agrees to erect a substantial brick building upon a lot of land hereafter to be designated, said lot to be in or nearly Baste City Said huildiug to be exclusively usod for the manufacturing of textile fabrics and to cost, machinery included $75,000 and it is also agreed that the foundation of the same is to bo laid at once. For which consideration the citizens of Basic City of the second pait agree to nnv to the rtr.uiaer of the first part $25, r-? ? 000 when said building bus been raised to the second story. Everything being stisafactorv tho agreement whs signed and scaled. When the second story of the huildiug was reached, which cost the stranger something like $2,000, he received the 125.000 ai d skinned for parts unknown. Printod on Spiders' Web.

The departineut, however, shows little or 110 interest whether gold is $100,000,000 or $75,000,000, as It is the policy of Secretary Carlisle to use the gold on hand tho same as he docs currency in meeting the obligations of the Treasury. 8 > for several months past the gold re serve has been treated as available cn h On this basis the available cash in the Trenaur to iKv is & I '22.0C0.0J0. Pacific Fisheries. Tho oldest industry of tho Atlantic ooast, tho fisheries, is tho newest of tho Pacific. Until a few years a^ the fishermen on tho northern coasts of California paid no attention to tho vast quantities of sturgeon and halibut thero, regarding them as worthless, and it is only within two or threo years that tho majority of placos further north and down tho southern coast now making money in fish have paid any attention whatever to tho industry. Last year 6,000,000 pounds of sturgeon were taken from tho Columbia River and shipped east, and altogether a hundred or so car loads of this one kind of went east from that region. ?Chicago Herald.
