tainsan editorial upon the decline of
real : estate in Kentucky, deploring the
fact as unfortunate for the. prosperity
of the State, and suggesting the cause
of the decline, with a possible remedy-
We may have peculiar views upon
the matter of real estate values, so far
us they affect the prosperity of a peo
ple, but we are led to them by a mature
manner of thinking. The ordinary
value of real estate is fictitious, or
rather conventional. It has an intrin
sic value that is hardly ever considered.
Its intrinsic value it is that regulates
the perpetuity of a State, and not its
conventional value. Its intrinsic value
is regulated by its productive capacity,
while its conventional value is regulated
by the adventitious circumstances of
the money market.
Its productive capacity is as great at
five dollars per acre as it would he at
twenty dollars per acre. Hence it fol
lows that the decline of prices in Ken
tucky will not affect the prosperity of
that State'one iota, hut will really he
an advantage to it. We all know that
the cheaper the raw material is the
better forthe manufacturer, hand, in
a certain sense, is raw material, entering
largely into the production of agricul
tural staples. The cheaper it is the
better it pays its manipulator. The
same farm, held at ten thousand dollars,
pays its owner better than it would at
twenty thousand dollars. Its produc
ing capacity is as great at ten thousand
dollars, while the extra ten thousand
can be employed in other channels
much better than in being locked up
in the value of the land.
One of the secrets of the wonderful
development and prosperity of the
West"is to be found in the cheapness
of its land. It does not require all a
man’s capital to secure a few acres of
land; and henCe he can spend a por
tion for other purposes—such as stock,
machinery, etc. ~
These are our crude thoughts on the
subject. We may elaborate them some
of these days. The subject is worthy
of all the thought we can give it. We
also suggest it . as a proper one for the
Grangers to debate.
Facts for Planters to Consider.
We take the following from the New
[York Financial Chronicle. It illustrates .Pursuant to notice the £
nr.inin .—A .1 1 ’ A-T j _ D Al_ J XT |1L TT’nr
the points we/have licretofore'made in'
reference to this same matter, and for
which some of our farming Mends- of the eni
were disposed to impugn'our Mendli- CoL R.
ness towards the Granges. W e have
’ever been Mendly to the order, and all
that we have written has been written
with the honest purpose to benefit the
farmer:
“ W e have often expressed the opin
ion that . any advance in cotton. which
is not based upon, the true relation of
supply and demand is in its final re
sult an actual injury to the planter.
Some of our Southern friends find so
much- satisfaction in high prices that
they appear to think we are wrong in
this position. A fact or two, which
the’present comer is now developing,
will be of interest in this connection.
1. For some time there has been a
rumor in circulation that cotton was to
be shipped from Liverpool, as under
the present artificial condition of the
market, there ■ was no profit in the
transaction. It appears now that such
a movement is in actual progress. This
week the steamer City of Chester arrived
(the 21st inst.), with 363 bales of Amer
ican cotton; on the same day the City
of Bristol brought 243 bales of Egypt
ian, and on the 23d the Gaelic brought
656 bales American; Monday the Adri
atic is expected to arrive, and we un
derstand she has 1500 bales American
for New York.
2. The high prices are also affecting
home consumption. The goods market
had not been satisfactory for a long
time, so that high prices the more easily
led spinners to economize the use
cotton, and hence their takings are sure
to bo something less than anticipated.
These facts are important, as both
them help to give us an increased stock
of old cotton to carry over the next
cotton year. This is very undesirable,
so far as the planter is concerned;
has no interest in the old stock, and
thus swell the supply early in the sea
son will tend to make the year open
with unreasonably declining prices,
case no disaster should overtake the
growing crop. We would much prefer
to see the old cotton absorbed now,
moderate export continued, this counter
movement from Liverpool stopped, and
home consumption kept up to the full
rate. Such a movement is healthy, and
would, in our opinion, best serve the
interests of the planter.”

Whatever may be said of the aim or
result of the Vienna Exposition, it has
certainly been the means of bringing
together/the choicest products of the
world, and giving the people of various
nations new ideas concerning matters
of wliieh they had never before thought.
In no direction has a wider range been
given than in the manufacture of glass,
Inaterial ai'tVUWtf presumed tW tllsPfcAfe
for the first time. Conspicuous among
these is a lady’s bonnet or head dress,
which for elegance and beauty cannot
be excelled. The idea of a glass hat is
certainly novel,.and many objections
might be made to.it on account of the
fragile material, but in reality the glass
is much stronger and more durable
than the delicate materials now in use
for the same purpose.
These articles as may be said come
from Bohemia/and they have already
gained a fair share of popularity.
Specimens have been sent to Paris and
London, and that we should not be be
hind hand in so important a matter, an
enterprising firm in Western Pennsylva
nia have imported quite a number,
and will immediately begin their man
ufacture, to be ready for the fall season.
These hats are of the most delicaie and
beautiful designs, and such is their
adaptability to all costumes and occa
sions that they will probably soon
come into universal use. The body of
the hat is made of loose pieces of fine
glass, fastened closely together by a
gutta percha band, which allows it to
conform to the head. Inside there is a
lining, of silk, which is the only piece
of fabric used in the manufacture.
The trimmings on the outside are after
the prevailing sfyle, being of wreath
flowers, feathers and ribbons, all made
of delicate spun glass of wonderful
beauty. Of course all the trimmings
have their natural'colors, and by patent
process the- appearance" is. so well sub
dued that the material is not suspected.
The most beautiful humming birds
and flowers are used for ornamentation,
and natural, that in appearance they
are far superior to the usual artificial
goods.' ai 1 .. a<v ..
• It is almost incredible, the small
amount of glass that enters into the con
struction of one of these hats, for the
thread is so fine that a great space is
covered without any perceptible in
crease in the weight They weigh, but
a few ounces, or about one-fifth the aver
age weight of the present, style. With
the care that is usually given by a lady
to a new hat, these articles outlast twen
ty of them, for'there-is -no wear of
them; moisture will not stain them,
and if dust should settle to dim their
beauty, it is readily removed by a gentle
spray of water. The colors so blended
that for ordinary occasions they present
a general neutral ’ tint, but at a small
additional expense they can be made to
flash and sparkle like diamonds, either
in the sunlight for a carriage costume;
or in the blaze of a ball-room, Or at the
opera. Their cost is insignificant, and
as it is understood several well known
firms are going into the business exten
sively, they may -soon he upon Our
streets. It is probablej however, they
will not be readily known, ah the resem
blance to the genuine materials is so
great.

'One of the boldest and most desper
ate highway robberies committed since
the Yankee exploits of the war, was
perpetrated in the highly civilized
State of Iowa a few nights ago, by
party of trooly loyal KuKlux who halt
ed and gutted an express train, killing
the engineer and jyounding several
others. •
They went about the matter in
systematic manner. First, borrowed
a spike hammer to remove the spikes,
and then selected a convenient spot
only two and a half miles from a town,
shof 'dear; &I\£iR£G Ydfi
baggage cars smashed into flinders
and the women and children frighten
ed nearl\ r to death, to say nothing
the scare of their gallant defenders,
who crept under the seats to avoid the
stray bullets that whistled through the
cars.
Had this happened down South,
martial law would have been proclaim
ed at once and Sherman, Sheridan and
Davis ordered to the front at a double
quick. As it was in Iowa, we suppose
that it will be set down as a little bit of
loyal eccentricity, and nothing will
conic of it.
The following is what the passengers
say about it:
The passengers on the train report
that the scene was terrible, and baffles
description. When the crash came all
were thrown forward, some entirely off
their seats. Then came the recoil, and
immediately afterward they- heard the
firing, but supposed it came from the
wreck. Many of the men jumped from
the cars and started to go forward, and
were ordered back by the robbers, who
continued firing, and enforced their
commands by terrible oaths and threats.
Back they went with a rush, and in the
cars found the women and children
half crazed with fright, shrieking, cry
ing and fainting, and imploring the
men to protect them, ’and exclaiming,
“My God! we shall be killed! We
shall be killed!” The stoutest hearts
quailed, and" all felt that the)' were at
the mercy of desperadoes.
Altogether it was a scene unprece
dented in the hi story of railroading in
this- country, as never before has so
reckless and daring a scheme boon car
ried to completion. All Western Iowa
is in a-fierce excitement. Farmers for
miles around nirc leaving their harvest
fields with their families and visiting
the scene of the rohbery. The engine
and baggage cars.remain as they were
last night. The former i6 badly wreck

the loss sustained by the company at

Governor Carpenter' issued a procla

for the arrest of each person engaged
in the robbery.
Five‘hundred dollars! Oh,, what a
chance would this 'have been for Bui-,

A Settle Fan With Hopkins.
Some years ago.a new.:fire company
was organized at Reading, and the mem
bers one evening thought they would
have a little innocent fun at the'expehse
of Hopkins, their president. They de
cided to rush round with the engine to
Hopkins’ house after dark, to throw up
their ladders, pull out their hose, climb
lief that his dwelling was on fireT
But that very day Hopkins moved
out of the house, and a Presbyterian
clergyman moved in, without the com
pany being aware of the change. So,
about 8 o’clock the humorists dashed
out and went through all the move
ments, getting on the roof and splash
ing water around, and creating a terri
ble disturbance generally.
A rival company, noticing what was
going on, also hurried to the scene, and
without understanding the joke, attach
ed their hose to a plug; smashed in
the front windows and began to empty
a two inch stream on the family of that
Presbyterian clergyman. They squirt
ed into all the rooms, split up the win
dow-shutters with an axe, broke down
the front door, ran out the furniture,
tore off the shingles, and bawled
through trumpets until the hired girl
had convulsions on the kitchen stairs.
The first company tried to explain,
but the new-comers thought an effort
was being made to get them away, and
a fight ensued, and presently firemen
were sliding off the roof, and pelting
down the chimneys, and bleeding over
the carpet, and having boisterous en
counters with spanners and brass horns
on the stairs.
And the next morning that Presbyte
rian divirfte and his family moved-out
They said the place seemed to be too
animated and sensational for a quiet
domestic circle. They want a house
where there was more calmness and
peace; where they could have more
security for their privacy ami pianos,
and for their front doors and shingles,
and peace of mind and window-sashes.
