Last May Queen Victoria visited Manchester for three boors to open the new ship canal. The bills for the cele? bration, amounting to ?50,000, are now being investigated.

London, Nov. 1.-A notable obit? uary sketch of the Czar appears in the Times. The author of the sketch of the dead Emperor was on intimate terms cf friendship with the Czar and says that the latter had never the slightest sympathy ..with high culture, ?dTnp^ #W&<?& the Czar rather gloried in the idea Of being of the same rough texture as the great majority of ais subjects and if bc knew that be was sometimes called 'The Peasant Czar,' j be regarded this epithet aa a compli- : meet. His straightforward, abrupt i manner, savoring some times of graff- j cess and his direct, unadorned method i }f expresi?n harmonized well with his j rough-hewn mobile features and some- j wbatr sluggish movements. The im- ? pression that he generally made in con- \ rersatioQ was that of a good, honest, j moderately1 intelligent, strong-willed ] ;naa, who might perhaps listen to ] ixpfanations, but who certainly would j stand no nooeose from bis subordinates j [>r any one else. Only those who have j bad the privilege of observing him in j the unrestrained intimacy of his family, j especially when romping with bis j children or amusing himself with his } four-footed pets, could fully realize what j i simple, kindly nature was concealed j behind a by no means sympathetic ex- \ terior." * The President of France receives 1,200,000 francs-$24,000-a year.

The improvement in business, as well as io the manufacturing industries, in all parts of the country, is not of a spasmodic character. It appears to be steady and solid, growing oat of a j better demand for supplies We be? lieve that wheu the cotton goods trade revives a little more and the world finds out that no .10,000,000 bale crop has bee^f made, that better prices for the staple will rule.-Montgomery Ad? vertiser. The Augusta Chronicle advises cot? ton planters who do not want to sell their cotton at present prices not to haul it to the towns or railroad stations to be stored, for that makes a big show in sight and has a tendency to keep prices down. The less cotton "visible5' the better the chances for a rise in price. Mr. T. F. Willis, railroad and ex? press agent at Kinstree was arrested io Wilmington, N. C., oo the 5th. A surety company parsed bis arrest, on the charge that he is short in his accounts. He stands high in religious and social circles in Kingstiee and few people believe him guilty.

The Populist speakers and writers have a g real deal to say about'the low price of cotton now and charge that the Democratic party ts responsible for it, but they know better.
