A Terrible Experience.
A man will go blind, and mad, too, from fear;
r have seen it happen, and if you mind liaten-
ioe will tell you the story. I was apprenticed
“ 4 builder when I left school, and soon got to
hie the trade very much, especially when the
work was perilous, and gave me a chance to ont-
do the other lads in daring. ‘"Spider” was my
.,ck-name in those days, for I had out-grown
D v proportions, and partly because they said I
maid crawl along a roof like my namesake.
When I was abont three and twenty, I was
working with the famous Mr. and went
down with his picked hands to carry out a con-
Jmrt he had taken in Canada. While there, I
fr!I in love with the prettiest girl in Canada, and
list is saying a. godd deal. For a time I fancied
jbr liked mo and that I was getting on very weU
with my 1° T0 making, but X soon found my mis-
uie, for an old lover of hers joined our men,
»nJ Mary gave me the cold shoulder directly.
Von may believe this sweethart of her’s (who
wu called Ben Uoyd) and I were not the best
•S friends in the world; but I am not the sort
4fellow to harbor malice, and when the bid
ing! to the wedding went around, and I knew
Itst my chance was gone, I made the best of it;
I kept my sore heart to myself, and determined
tl) beat down jealousy, by being great chnms
with Ben. •
I went to tho wedding, and there were not
many days when I did not steal half an honr to
sit by his fireside, which was as bright and cozy
ml home-like as you’d wish to see—Mary being
the soul of order and industry. It is not per-'
bips the usual way of driving out envy, to go
look at tho happiness another man has done
mu out of, but yon know the proverb says,
■What is ono man's meat is another man's poi
son;'nnd so it was. I-got to look upon Mary
II a sort of sister, and Ben had no cause for
jealousy, although there were plenty of evil
tongues to pnt him up to it
Tho contract was nearly up, when a lightning
conductor upon one of the highest chimneys
sprang, nnd the *wner of tho works offered onr
master the job.
“It's just the sort of thing for yon, Harry,
uid Mr. ; when he told ns of it
I accepted it off hand, and the 1*Ben stepped
up and said he’d volunteer to be the second man
-two being required.
“AU right,” said the master, “yon aro tho
steadiest headed fellows £ have. The price is a
good one, and every penny of it shall be divided
between you v We'!! not fix a day for the work, j
tut take tho first calm morning, and get it done
quietly.”
So it was that, some four or five mornings af
ter, we fonnd onrselves all ready for the start
The kite by which tho lino attached to the block
was to bo sent over the chimney, was flown, and
did its work well; the rope which was to haul
up tho cradle was ready, and stepping in, Ben
and I began the ascent
There hod been very few people abont when
we went into tho yard, bat as we got higher, I
saw that the news had spread, and that the
streets were filling with sight-seen. ■
“ There's plenty of star-gazers, Ben,” I said,
waving my cap to them; “I dare say they’d
like to see ns come down with a run.”
Ho said nothing, and never moved. Then
looking up, I saw we were close to the top—a
few yards more and we would be thero; yet
those who were turning the windlass were wind
ing with unabated speed. A sadden thrill rnn
through my blood and set my flesh creeping,
they had miscalculated the distance, and with
the force they wore winding at, and the rope
must inevitably break when the cradle came in
contact with the block. Thero was no time to
attempt a signal, only on instant to point ont
the danger to Ben, and then to get hold of tho
rope, and by going hand over hand, roach the
coping before the cradle came np. This was
done quicker than I can tell yon, Ben following.
The cradle camo on; then, as I anticipated,
the rope gave a shrill, spinning sound, like a
rifle hull passing through the air, nnd snapped.
Down went the cradle, and there were we left,
nearly three hundred feet in the nir, with noth
ing to rest upon but a coping, barely eighteen
inches wide. ' J .
Ben shrieked ont that he was a dead man,
and cried, “Tell me where I can kneel, Harry;
show me where X can pray to Almighty God, for
1 cannot die this way 1 ’
••Hash, lad,” I said; “don’t lose heart; God
can hear yon just as well sitting as kneeling,
and if yon try to got np you'll tumble, to a
moral certainty. Th‘
keep np."
But he only shook and swayed more and
more, groaning and crying ont that he was lost,
and I conld see that i
would lose his balance.
"Get hold of the rod," I said, thinking that,
even sprang as it was, the touch would give
him courage. _
“Cannot yon keep quiet?” answered Ben,
speaking in a strange tone ; and turning to
look, I saw he was deadly pale, huddled np to
gether, with his eyes fast shut.
“You’re not frightened, old chap ? I asked.
“What that’s to you ?”
“Oh, nothing; only we aro getting up pretty
quickly, acajou’ have abetter headfor work if
jron'd get gradually used to the height.
"Where is it, boy?” he said hoarsely; and
then looking into his face, which was turned to
me, I saw that bis eyes were drawn together,
squinting and bloodshot, and knew that the
fright had driven him blind. So pushing my
self nearer to him, I placed my arm aronnd his
waist, and worked round to the rod, which I put
in his hand; and then I looked below to see
whether they were trying to help ns; bnt there
were no signs.
The yard was full of people, all running hither
and thither; and, as I afterwards knew, all m
the greatest consternation, the cradle having
fallen on ono of the overseers of the work, kill
ing him on the spot, and so occupying the at
tention of those near that we unfortunates were
for the time forgotten. I was straining my eyes
in hope of seeing some effort made to help us,
when I was startled by a horrible yell and
brought to a sense of "new danger, for looking
round, X saw Ben champing his teeth, and foam
ing at the month, and gesticulating in an un
earthly way. Fear had not only blinded him.
bnt crazed his brain.
Scarcely had I time to comprehend this, when
ho began edging his way towards me; and every
hair on my head seemed to stand on end, as I
moved away, keeping as far off as I conld, and
scarcely daring to breathe lest he should hear
me, for see me he conld not—that was my only
consolation. Once, twice, thrice, he followed
me round the month of that horrible chimney;
theq, no doubt thinking that I had fallen over,
. he began trying to get on his feet. "What conld
I now do to save his life ? To touch him was
certain death to myself as well as him, for he
would inevitably seize me, and we should go
over together. To let him stand was to witness
his equally certain destruction.
I thought of poor Mary, and remembered
that if he died 6he might care for me. The
devil pnt the thought into my mind, X suppose ;
bnt thank God, there was a stronger than Satan
near, and, at the risk of my life, I roared out,
“Sit still or you will fall, Ben Lloyd!
He crushed down and held on with clenched
teeth, shivering and shaking. Ii* afterdays he
told me he thought that it was my spirit sent
to warn and save bim. .
“Sit still,” I repeated from time to time,
watch^g'with aching eyes and brain for some
agnofaid. My lips grew dry, my tongue lit- was
erally clave to my mouth, and the perspiration
Winded me.
At last—at last—hope came. The crowd be-
to gather in the yard, people were running
in from distant lanes, and a sea of faces
turned upwards; and then some one who had
got a speaking trumpet, shouted, “Keep heart,
toys, we’ll save you!” A few minutes more
and the kite began to rise ; higher it comes, on
and on. How I watched the white-winged mes-
senger, comparing it in my heart to an angel,
and surely, as an angel was it permitted to come
The block was fixed, the cradle came up again.
bnt™'L°^ yl ^ n 7 order - ^ I followed^
but no sooner did X touch iSm than he begaS
to get out. I got hold of him, and taking
it into his head that I was attempting to throw
mm over, he struggled and fought like the mad-
mmi he was—grappling, tearing with his teeth,
shouting shrieking and praying all . the way
down, wh3e the cradle strained and cracked,
swinging to and fro like the pendulum of a clock.
As we came near the ground I conld hear the
roar of voices, and an occasional cheer,-then
suddenly all was silent, for they had heard Ben’s
cnes, and when the cradle touched the ground,
* ™an flare look in. The first was a
horrible sight, for, exhausted, by the straggle
ana excitement, as soon as the cradle stopped, I
jvid fainted, and Ben, feelir.g my hands relax,
had fastened his teeth into my neck!
No wonder the men fell back with blanched
faces; they saw that Ben was crazed; bnt they
thought he had killed me, for, as they said, he
was. actually worrying me like a dog. At last
the master got to us, and pnlled Ben off me. X
soon came round, but it was a long time before
he got well, poor fellow; and when he did come
out of the asylum he was never fit for his old
trade again. I gave np the trade, too, soon
after, finding that I got queer in the head when
I tried to face height. So, yon see, that morn
ing’s work changed two men's lives.
Cotton Culture in Europe.
We lay before onr readers this morning the
fourth number of a series of articles on “Cotton
Culture in Europe,” from the pen of Mr. Edwin
DeLeon. These articles have attracted consid
erable attention, and have been read with gen-
oral interest:
COTTON CULTURE IN EUROPE—EGYPTIAN COMPETI
TION WITH AMERICAN COTTON.
The competition of Egyptian with American
cotton, under normal conditions, never ms
amount to anything very serious, for the fol
lowing reasons: - '
Firstly—The area of land adapted for cotton
culture in Egypt is limited, and during the late
war its full capacity was developed. We know
precisely now the bounds and limits of its pro
duction, under tho greatest stimulus, and that
production cannot be made to exeeed 050,000
I >oles.
Secondly—Under ordinary circomstimces and
at ordinary prices, it pays better in Egypt to
cultivate groin; of which from two to three
crops can be raised on the same land annually
to one crop of cotton, which is, besides, more
exhausting to the sml.
Thirdly—Tho labor in men is limited, in
comparison with which the South soon will com
mand, both black and white; and the labor of
Egypt is unskilled in cotton culture. Besides
which, the Egyptian lands cannot continue so
good a yield for consecutive years, because they
use no fertilizers or modern improvements.
Fou rthly—Labr-saving contrivances, in which
machinery and steam supply human muscles,
are available to us, bnt are not to the Egyptians.
More than once dnring the last few years, the
cattle plague has almost swept away their beasts
of burden—a loss which as yet has but partially
been supplied.
Fifthly—Tho superiority of the American
cotton to all other lands, for the manufactures
of England and of tho world, according to the
testimony of the best authorities, including the
English experts themselves.
The India Burat* have long since been with
drawn from the competition; bnt lately an ef
fort has been made to set np the Egyptian
“Jftko" os a successful rival to the cotton-of
onr Southern States.
A few years ago, Mr. J. B. Smith, member of
Parliament from Stockport, after thoronghprao-
tical examination of tho whole matter, made a
most exhaustive report on the different quali
ties of cotton required for English manufactur
ing purposes, in which he arrived at tho conclu
sions that “our (British) great consumption and
demand are for the softj white, silky, moderate
ly long cotton of America, the quality nsnally
called ‘Uplands,’ 'Bowed Georgia' and ‘Now Or
leans. ’ It can be consumed in any quantity, for
it is available not only os weft, bat lor warp, ex
cept for the finer numbers. We need and con
sume nine bags of this cotton for one bag of all
other qualities pnt together.” And the reasons
he gives for this are conclusive. The long sta
ple cotton is used for making tho warp, as it is
technically called—that is, tho longitudinal
threads of the woven tissue. Those threads of
the finer sort—say abont 50’s—must be made of
longstaple cotton, such as onr Sea Island and
the Egyptian. For the numbers below 50, best
medium staple will do.
The medium staplo cotton, on tho coutrary.is
used partly for the lower numbers of “warp”
(and enters largely into the production of tho
vast quantities of cotton-yarn nnd sewing-thread
exported,) bnt mainly for tho “weft,” or traverse
threads of the woven tissue. It is softer and
silkier than the long staple, makds a fuller and
rounder thread, and fills the fabrics better. The
long Btaple cannot bo used for this purposo to
advantage; it is ordinarily too harsh. For the
warp, strength and fibre are required; for the
weft, softness and fullness. Now, as tho lower
numbers of yam require a far larger amount of
raw cotton for their production than the higher,
and constitute the chief portion (in weight) both
for export and consumption in Great Britain, and
as every yard of calioo or cotton doth is com
posed of from two to five times as much weft as
warp, it is manifest that the cotton of medium
staple is the kind for which the demand must be
most constant and greatest, in the proportion of
0D The short staple cotton (Snrats) is used almost
exclusively for weft (except a little for candle-
wick, or for the very lowest numbers of warp-
say tens aDd under—but it is different in charac
ter from the* second description, as well as
shorter in fibre. It is drier, fazzier, more like
rough wool, and it cannot be substituted for it
without impoveridiing the nature of the doth,
making it thinner after washing, and can only
be blended with it with much caution and in
very moderate proportions. This species of
cotton is found in Upper Egypt, as well as in
TnJia After thus dassifying the cotton, and
coins fully into the peculiar characteristics of
each? this great British authority goes on to say,
“It will be seen, therefore, that while we re
quire for our manufactures a limited quantity of
of tho first and third qualities of raw cotton, we
need and consume an almost unlimited supply of
the second quality. In this fact lies onr chief
difficulty; for while several
world supply the first sort 0°ng staple), an JTn-
dia could supply enormous quanoties of the
the third (short staple), the United States have
hitherto alone produced the second and most
necessary kind (medium staple).
Although the stoppage of the great
this c<5tton for three or four years compelled
manufacturers to adopt substrates for it, yet it
must resume it previous position now, since
none of the substitutes have proved
the original article. Both Australia and Egypt
produce fine long staple cotton
Smith dedares our Sea Island to be the finest
lone cotton in the world,’ and in dasafying
theWtian. thus describes it: “ Thepomtwe
have to bear in mind, then, is this : Onrdesifl-
Smith's summing up was made, it _ -*y, Ar
bear away the palm, and the EgyP b “b
in quality nor in quantity, mnchless the Indian,
can never dispute it
< -With regard, also, to the gathering in axffi
preparation of the cotton for market the Amer
ican article has the advantage. The cotton gin
was not fonnd suitable to the Egyptian cotton
in any of the experiments I have witnessed; vt
cut the fibre of the cotton “Mako,” and ranch
of the cotton was lost in the cleaning, Tinder the
primitive Egyptian process. — n
P The experiments we saw made were withthe
A merican saw-gin, and experts from the United
who were trying to introduce the arti-
ht&tes, market, made the essay. The cot-
cle into tha n er mns, manufactured in
top is leaned by ttffiar gms^ i6Dm _ ooa of
the country, an 1 -u.red ohlionely, and
country and pressed by roughly made screw
presses, on the model of our old-time Southern
tmes. In Alexandria it is prepared for exporta
tion by being pressed into square bales by hy
draulic pressure. It cannot be donbted that the
impulsion given to cotton culture, its improve
ment, and the immense profits realized from it
during the past six years, have elevated Egypt
in the scale of competition. Bnt natural well as
artificial causes, and the character, both of its
labor and of its government, are ever at work
to render competition with American cotton a
losing game on the part of the former.
Sixthly—The labor and expense of irrigation
ra Egypt must bo taken into account. A cotton
plantation there is as troublesome as a rice-field
with us, and therefore it will not pay to grow
cotton there at a price which would be remu
nerative to onr Southern States. It did pay
very handsomely at the prices which ruled du
ring the stoppage of the American supply, bnt
the question is now to be solved whether the
grain crops will not pay better hereafter as they
aid formerly.
A tabular statement will show more strikingly
than words the great and rapid development of
cotton culture in Egypt, verifying the promise
made by Said Pacha, in 18GI, to the then
American Consul-General, on his taking leave
of him: “If your people will stop the cotton
supply for Europe, my people must go to work
and make it for her.”

Thus, Egypt’s best year fell short of thn Amer
ican average contribution before the war nearly
three-fourths, which will show the character of
the competition. . I
Commencing with the year 1868, the exporta
tions of Egypt, chiefly owing to her cotton, hare
actually doubled, thus making our loss her gain,
and making an annnal increase to her of atleast
*50,000,000 increase from that source alone.
The year which has jnst expired will test whether
tho demand for cotton can keep pace with the
supply, and demonstrate whether onr dethroned |
“King” will “enjoy his own again.”
Charming Women.
From'Ukt Saturday Review.]
There aro certain women who are invariably I
spoken of os charming. We never hear any
other epithet applied to them. They ore not
said to be pretty, nor amiable, nor clever,
though they may bo all three, bnt simply charm
ing, which wo may take as a kind of verbal
amalgam, the concentration and concretion of
all praise. The main feature abont these
charming women is there intense feminality.
There is no blnrring of the outlines here; nc
confusion of qualities admirable enough in
themselves, bnt slightly ont of place, consider
ing the sex; no Amazonian virtues which leave
one in doubt as to whether we hnve not before
ns a youth in petticoats, rather than a soft and
tender woman.
A charming woman is woman all over, one
places her glory in being a woman, and has no
desire to be anything else. She is a woman
rather than a human being, and a lady rather
Hinn a woman. One of her characteristics is
the softness and exquisite grace of her maimer,
which so sweetly represents the tender nature
within. She has not an angle anywhere. If
she were to be expressed geometrically, Ho
garth's line of beauty is the sole figure that
conld be used for her. She is flowing, graceful,
bending in mind as in body; sbe is nei ther self-
asserting, nor aggressive, neither rigid nor nar
row; sho is a creature who glides gracefully
through life, and adjusts herself to her compa
ny and her circumstances in a manner little less
than marvellous; working her own way without
tumult or sharpness, creeping round insuperable
obstacles, and quietly wearing down more friable
opposition with that gentle persistency which
does so much more than turmoil and distnrb-
kea
Even if enthusiastic—which she is for art,
either as music, as painting, or ns poetry—she
is enthusiastic in such a sweet and graceful way
that no ono can be offended by a fire which
shines and does not burn. There is no touch
of scorn about her, and no assumption of supe
rior knowledge. She speaks to you, poor ig-
norant Philistine, with the most flattering con
viction that yon follow her in all her flights;
and when she comes out, qnite naturally, with
her prettv little bits of recondite lore or profes
sional technicalities, you cannot be so boorish
as to ask for an explanation of these every-day
matters, which she makes so sure yon must un
derstand. Are yon not an educated person with
a soul to be saved, and can yon, then, bo ignor
ant of things with which every one of culture is
familiar? She discourses confidentially of mu-
sit ians and painters unknown to fame, and
speaks as if she knew the secret doings of the
conservatoire and R. A. council chamber alike.
The models and the methods, the loves and the
hates of the whole artistio world ffiro to her
things of e^ry da? life, and you cannot tell her
that sho is shooting her delicate shafts wide of
tho mark, and that yon know no more of what
she'means than if she were talking in the
choicest Arabic.
If she has been abroad—and she generally
has been more or less—she will poor out her
tender little rhapsodies abont palazzi and villa
of which yon have never heard, bnt every room
of which she assumes you know by heart; ana
she will speak of onUtf-the-way churches, and
grim old castles perched upon vine-clad mounts,
as if you were as well acquainted with them as
with your native hamlet; and she will bnng
into her discourse all maimer of Italian techm-
mcalities. as if yon understood the subject as
well as she herself understands it; though your
learning is limited to a knowledge of how much
was done in jute and tallow, or how many pock
ets of hops went off in the market last week, if
she has a liking for high lifeand titles-and
what charming woman has not?—she will men
tion the names of all manner of .courts mid
dukes and monsignori unknown in EngUsn
society, as though they were her brothers;I
bnt if you were to interrupt the gentle ripple of
her speech with such rude breakwaters as "tif ho T
and - what?” the charming woman would think
von a horrid bore, and no man would -mningly
face that One may be a rhinoceros in tos own
haunts, bnt as the fable tells ns, even rhmoo:-
roses .are ashamed of their parentage when
among gazelles. Never self-asserting, never
contrakiftory, only sweetiy and tenderly petting
von right when you blunder, the charming wo
man, nevertheless, makes you fed hersnpenor-
ity. Tree, she lays herself, as it were, irtyrrar
feet, and ^es yon a tho^M dehc^^ttor-
