In other words, Mile. Ambre, or, as the French style ler, THE ‘' AMBER WITCI,"'— aname taken from her sallow complexion, which sho scems by no means to resent, as she has taken the French for amber as lier nom-de- plume, 1n deflance,—this complexion belng the gift of a hall-Arab mother and French fother, soltened to a falfrom unpropossessing cast by ,tho breezes that wero waftod across her Alge- rfan home. Of course, long ere this mentlon hos been made of her dcbut; but little by little the truth crops out regarding the past history of this ci-devant Queen, serving to garnlsh with n spleler sauce this new dish of musie seryed up for the French public, and to give hor an fnter- est not always acconded to debutantes. Her cotree ought to have been ancasy one, ns the pitful of critics npplauded even to tho glove- solitting period the rather embarrasred efforts of this Algerinn tigress; hut they went home to thelr respective journals to herald her coming with pralso most conspleuous for its faintness. It she can be ranked with the great singers of the period at all, slic wos TOO MUCH PLUSHED AKD FLURRIED, too little aelf-possesscd, to put forth efforts suf- ficlent to prove lier right thereto. "o firat ap- pearance was to cator to the French garrisons in Algerin; but, belng ambitious, she paesed on to Fraoce, whero her peculfar descent helped 10 engngo tho attentlon of the people, and sho made friends not up tothestandard of a Csar’s wite. Later, hearing of the Dutch King fondness for musical art, or rather of bis pen- chaut for musical artistes, she was soon in Hol- Jand, and hier batteries opened fire on the Chief of tho Realm. But the portals were guarded by onc of those ublquitous Americans, of ten- der sex ond shady reputation, tbat are to be found all over Europe.

Tiesult, about one acre plowed per day, by, say, two men. Now aore used plows fu ganis of two and three, or more, of polished steel, drawn by horses, controlled by ope man,who rides ot ense. Result, five or more acres par day plowed by o single man, and much bettor than by our fathers, Or steatn 13 used, with stlll greater results, plowlnz an acro or more an hour.

Now, o inachive, controlled by any hoy who can drive a siugle horse, will do more than three thmes the work in o ziven thne, ond far better. Rimflar ehanges have been made in all thu prefiminary processas of agriculture. When tho gratu was ripe for the harvest, our fathers would go into the fleld with their sickies In thelr hands, nud nlong day of hard work would re- sult In_onc-fourth of an acro of graln cut per man, Now, a man will tnke 8 reaping machine, drawn by onu or two palrs of horaes, and raap Nils tventy or more acres per day; one man uow doltg the work of efzhity but about fifty years agn ‘To-day, one mun with the all of mach ery will produce as nivch food as could bo pro- duved by the naked muscle and sools of a scora of onr fathers, ‘Thers is now: 1o kunown limlg to the power of its production, In consumpdon thiero 18 no corresponding Increase, Our fathera od, obtained, and uséd a8 mony of food ‘per d-ey ns we do, It might have been different In kind and quality,—noth- ing more. Not lung ago the farm found con- stant employuieat for all tlic sons of the farm, and wany of the chlldren of the city. Now, the farm furuishes cmployment for but a very tion of the work to be doue among all who will work, Iustead of a system than at best gives but uncertain and transtent, employment to not biors Lian one-half of our workers, divido the work so that every ono can count with ressona- ble certainty upun constant, permancnt emmploy- ment, then the firat grest element of universal content and prosperity will be established. ‘That, In short, & normal day's work shall be es- tablished; the oumber of hours per day shall be fixed~—no matter what that number may be—in which nn, by working, shall produce abundantly for ail, ‘Tho staudard for fixing that normal day, which must be flexible, must be the em. ployment vr non-employment of all who will work, and the consumption of all products, Facts as cuslly nscertained as the market price of any product, and as easity regulated as the mavements of a machine. +Our wh stem of production and manu- facture is n stablished upon the principle of vroducing for a market, Not, as wero the agrle calture and houschold manutactures of our fathers, for home and domestic use tirst, Taat, and always, onlv exchanzing a_small part for that swhich could not be produced st home.

It is currently said that where s English workman s pald a rupee, a native workman 18 paid an anos, or onc-sixteenthof thawages. With the attainment of increascd skill on the part of the Indlan work- man, the dispanty will, no doubt, to some ex- tent aiminish.

The diff- cultles tobe met In Indls are of auuther order— want of confidence, and consequent want of capltal, being the chief. But tho steady progress of the cotton maoufacture in this its native bomo is most significant. In 1561 Iundia consumed 03,000 bales of cotton, and worked 838,000 spinales.
