1- slogan just now.
In precisely what mannerano when
h this change of heart and wedding
h ways came about nobody really khows,
r. but it has. First it was the unexpected
creeping of a "Mrs." into the sort
ciety notice of the weddiDgs which
i- had always hitherto been marked by J
a predominance, an exclusivencss, al1
most, of the "Miss" clement. Then,
- almost before the talk and chatter
r and gossip incident upon such an un,
wonted occurrence had died away?
. long before the friends at. the first
i "married maid of honor" bride had
1 decided whether she had quarreled
with her sister upon the eve of the
' wedding or whether she chose a mari
t ied woman for her maid of honor on
account of family reasous?the "ma;

i way, by their inability to secure cotton
from our Southern States, her
statesmen have given much time and
thought to the question whether or
not ootton, equally as good as that
grown in the United States, could be
raised in certain parts of the British
domians. Alter much effort and a
large expenditure of money it was
found that it could be grown in India
but of a quality which would not
compare with that raised in this
country. Australasia, too, proved
unsuitable to the proper cultivation
of that plant. Consequently those
who direct the destinies of the British
Empire saw that in order to make
its manufacturers independent ot the United
Slates, in so fur at least as j
cotton was concerned, it was necessary I
for Great Britain to secure for all
tiiae a hold on Egypt and the Egyptian
Soudau, territory in every way
suited to the growth of the fiuest
ootton.
