Still it has continued to rise, and the stage Ig now far above all: records exeent that of 1851, being elzhtcen feeteleven Inehes above fow water. The advance of the water has driven the watehmen off the levee north of the city, and but little is known of the condition execpt that the water stands on the Inside leveo with thatin the river, No fur- ther breaks, therefore, are expected In the embankment below the city. ‘Iwo cre- vugses are reported in the Sny Levee north of Iannibval—one at the Stilwell farm, and one two miles further up. A vast flow of water is (ius let into the district, but ft can add very Ittle to the general waste of property.

Oct. 2.—During the past week flocks of ducks have made thelr appearance In this vicinity, stirring up old sportsmen -to relate stories and adventures never before told. Our sportsmen, including some twenty Chicago men who make their headquarters here, are out this week in the Uustisford and Puckaway marshes, near Green Lake, and heavy strings of game sent by express are good evidence as to the suc- cess they are having there. ‘Tho rarest thing captured was that bya couple of hunters this week, being a thoroughbred fighting sandhill crane, some five feet tall (seven feet when its necks fully stretched), which was brought In alive, dt was kept in the woudshed over night, and in the mourning, forgetting to tell the man where they bad put the dangerous bird, he went In, and, to his great surprise, was Iinmediately attacked tn a sayngo manner, His erles brought the hunters to the rescue. ‘The crane now oveuples a prominent place In asture window, after going through tha hands of a taxidermist.

Lospon, Oct. 11,—Amid_ the incessant and at present superheated strife of parties and of the rival factions fur or agalnst free trade the movement of the Countess of Bective for the reilef of certain depressed Industries fs worthy of more tlian a passing note. Lady Bective began to move in the direction of her philanthrople efforts in April last, before, therefore, the Fair'Trade League found ineepr tion. It ts necessary to bear this In mind, as Lady Bective's movement lias in some inlnds become Snextrleably mixed ap with the fair-trade agitation, with which it has no more concern than that It secks to give a filly to languishing British industries. Lt dilfers theretrom in belng non-political, Lady Bective believes that the industries with the fortunes of which she more particularly con- cerns herself are in 1 depressed state from social and not from politica! causes. It fs well known dat her syinpatites were first engaged by the depression and suffering consequent upon the decilulug woulen trade of Bradforg. In respect to this subject Lady Bective writes in one of her numer- ous pauiphlets and leaflets: “Few people, except those enguged in our textile man- ufnctures, are probably aware how a freak of fashion lias influenced and aggro- vated the distress which has for some years prevailed fn the agricultural districts and among the Industrial population of thiscoun- try. Such, however, ts the case. Prior to the year 1874 the long-haired woul known in the trade ag ‘lustre wool’ was extensively used in the manufacture of Indies* dresses, preduelig uw material of beautifal-texture and weil deserving the patronngeat the fash- jonable world, A few years azo, unfortu- untely for thls country, the ladies of Paris wore Induced to diseard the bright nud Iustrous tabrles produged by English looms and to substitute a dull material made prin- cipally of forelen wool aud manufactured in Franee, English tudes followed the ample and in consequence th sertous falls off in. the tlals made from lustre wool, and English grown wool las become serlously deprechited Th value? ‘The manufacturers thenselves are unani- mous Iassicning the change of fashion as the cttuse of the prevalling depression, Whatever influence hostile tariffs may haye in the future, they do not appear to haye been to nny great extent to blame for the Preseuc crisis. Such at any rate, is Lady Juctive's opinion; and she goes on tos “Our tarifis wlth France and Amerien have undergone no chanue since 1860 nnd 1888 re~ spectively, yet our teada in lustre and in other kinds of wool fabrics attained its Kreatest prosperity In 874. and has steadily deellned ever slice, ull lu I88l it seems ot the point of absolute ruin.” What Lady. Bective and the ludies and others who are acting with her want todo is. to correct by invans of fashion the evils that fashton has caused, [nother words, she wishes English women to do for British trade what Frenel women some few years since did for a lan culshing branch of their own industry, An artlele tn oue of the Bradford papers says: “The textile Industries of France were, perhaps, as depressed eight or ning years ago as those of England are at present; and wo have reason to believe that although caprice Jind a considerable deal to do with the sit stitution of soft-elinging waterials for the bright goods which we manufactured, and which until then were viewed with approval, the leaders of fashion in Parls were Ina measure actuated by vatriotle imotives, and sought, even by the gratification of their cn: price, to bulld up a department of national trade which displayed distressing symptoms of decadence, Atall avents the direct result of tha iteration of the fashion was that the drooplit trade of the country was resuscil- tated, and the moment it revived our own trade deellned, fur, although the French muanufactures wore in no respect, elther us regards hutrinste quality or external appear- anee, superlor to our own productions, the Jadies of England, Germany, the United States, and even our awn colonies, discarded the lustre fabrics of tho British Iuoms, and, following tho example of those tyrannical arbiters on ull questions of dress who forut the ‘court of fashion’ at Paris, thoy patron: ized the close-fitting style which ts bettor suited for-revenling what from a Byronlo point of view would seem to boof the utmost consequenes— “*'Tho graceful bend and the voluptuous awell,’ and for which purpose, it would appear, the soft fabrics of French manufacture are best adapted.” Whatever may have been the proportions of patriotism and caprice in the tnception of the fashton concerned there cn be no doubt thas to it tho serlons depression inthe woolen Industries can be traced, One can uniter stand the French ladies favoring the new fashion, oven though the auount of patriot isin In it were sill; but itis ag dificult to explain as itis to defend the actloy of En. glish women In slayishly following the Jead of thelr Gallic sisters. At first the protests of English ladies were strong and loud against the fashion, Krom a senso of pro- privty the new tnoda was candemned, but after much vacitintion the “Committes of ‘Tuste,” which rules in the motropolls and de- termines by ileerees autocratic ay pay hinpe- rial ukase what the fashionably shall wear, declured that tight, clinging robes should bo worn, andeventually this style of dress wis universally adopts |. Drapers ant dress: makers were obliged to meet the wislies of their customers and provide French goods in lien of. thoss native productions which wero betore deservedly popular. “Custom, fash- fon, and caprice,” says the paper above quoted, ‘have not, therefore, proved things of little moment in this country of Inte, ‘The furmor has severely suffored for some years past from the reduced prices which .he has recelved from his fiveces," and, It may bo added, the manufacturer from his decreased siles, us well as the operative from lessened. wines, : ‘The followin tistics whit show the ex- tent fo whlel "he wool wade tins been at be: ome ten years azo the number of sheapp In the United Kingdom amounted to 31,403,- 600, and from that time wenton steadily iu- 3 ; creasing, until 11 1874 there were 34,837,807. | From that year the decrease has itlmost beeit as inarkedt’ as the increase has been before, tuntil Int 1880 the stock was reduced to 20,230,- 62), whereas, had the former rate of increngo been ninintained the number tn that year, lu stead of being abont 30,000,000, as abovo stated, would actially hive reached upward of 40,000.00), Farmers can now senrecly. ob- tatn half tho price for thelr wool wlitclt they could and did obtain when lustre fabrics were In demand. In proof of this statement it may be mentioned that one of the best known Lincolnshire farmers, who used to reallze abont £1,400 for his yearly clip of wool, cont not at the present timo obtain for the same welght mora than about £000, Ax further showing the serlous nature of the falling off In the wool trade of this country it may be stated that the netelip of howie-grown wool {1 1880 was.
