St. Louis, July 20.—The executive
committee ol the cotton exchange met
iu the Southern Hotel about 11 o’clock
this morning, and after transacting
some private business, adjourned. Tiie
fifth annual convention of tho ex
change then convened iu the ladies’
ordinary of the hotel, and was called
to order by T. Lalltte, president, who
delivered his annual address ; after
which, the committees were appointed
and other preliminary business trans
acted. Tho president, in his address,
alluded very pathetically to tho late
murderous assault upon Gen. Garfield
—characterizing it as a blow struck at
the stability of our institutions,
and the introduction of a new element
of uncertainty into commercial circles.
In Europe, he said, the assassination of
a ruler is but tho substitution of one
executive lor another, a change that
would have taken place under the law
ol nature; but in this country it is the
nullification of the express will of the
people by tho act of a scoundrel, and
might* change the whole policy of the
government and might unsettle evory
business interest.

“ADVANCING BACKWARD*.”
A Noulhfrn llni'key'a Idea of Mllllitry
Tnetlea.
Harper's Magazine. I
Early in the late civil war, John
Dennis, a full negro, believing him
self tired with patriotic zeal and able
to serve ids country, besought his
master, a Georgian, and obtained per
mission to accompany a regiment
from the state,which was soon placed
under the command of Gen. Floyd.
The history of that campaign is well
known. On the retreat John became
homesick and was allowed to depart.
He had become well known to Gen.
Floyd aud all iiis command. On his
departure lie went to take leave of
the general, when the following
dialogue waH had :
Gen. Floyd—Well, John, you are
going to leave us, eh ?”
John—Yes, Mars Floyd; it ’pears
like I could do more good at home
now dan bein’ here; so I thought I’d
go home and ’courage up our people
to hold on.
General F.—That’s right, John.
But are you going to tell ’em that
you left us when running from the
Yankees?
John—No, sir; no Mam Floyd, dat
I ain’t. You may ’pend upon my
not telliu’ nothin’ to ’moralize dem
people.
General F.—But how will you get
around teiling them, John?
J oil n—Easy enough, Mars Floyd.
It won’t do to ’moralize dt in people.
I’m goin’ to tell ’em die—dat when I
left de army it was in first-rate sper-
rits and dat owin’ to de situation of
de country and de w r ay do land lay,
wo was a-advancln’ hack’ards, ami
de Yankees was a-retreatin’ on to
A French Nwvmnt’a Opinion.
A noted French savant declares that
those persons who endeavor to allevi
ate cramps, cholera inorbus, or any of
the painiul disorders of the stomach
by dosing themselves with camphor
liquor, brandy, or peppermint, do not
remove tho cause of the [tain, but
merely lull it. He says repeated do
of tho articles mentioned injure tfie
coat of the stomach, aud lay tho foun
dation lor attacks of chronic and more
serious diseases. A single dose of
Perry Davis’ Pain Killer will do
more to drive away pain and promote
the natural action of the stomach than
all the hot stuffs in the world. All
druggists sell the Pain Killer.
K. r. IV’ This being considered an
unusual tiling, and as there was a
considerable amount of contention
on the subject, it was agreed to refer
the matter to the chancellor of the
diocese, Mr. diaries Sunnier, M. A.,
who was asked, “Is the proposed in-
riplion unlawful?” and “If not un
lawful, has there been such use of
[divalent language to render such
inscriptions conventional?”
To the first of these questions tlie
hancellor’s answer is : “A similar
inscription, ‘Pray for the soul of J.
Woolrrey,’ was decided not to be ille
gal in the case of ‘Breeks vs. NVool-
frey.’ ” In reply to tlie second ques
tion, he says : “I am not sure that I
understand this question, or that I
am competent to answer it. Until
recent years such inscriptions as that
now under consideration were not
common except in Roman Catholic
ountries. The objection to them is
very natural, and carries witli it my
sympathy; but I cannot say that a
court of law would sustain it.” It was
pointed out at a meeting yesterday
that in the case of "Breeks vs. Wool-
frey” permission had been given for
the erection of the tombstone in Ca-
risbrooke churchyard, hut that, see
ing the parishioners afterwards pro
tested against it, tlie vicar, Mr.
Breeks, commenced an action for its
removal, when he was defeated.
The board were now advised by
their solicitors that as Mr. Baker’s
tombstone had not yet been erected
the board had power to reject or ac
cept the inscription, the chancellor’s
opinion ami the case quoted only go
ing so fur uh to show that, if they
allowed the inscription, it would not
be contrary to law; while, at the same
time, it would he equally not illegal
to reject it. A long contention fol
lowed tlie reading of the chancellor’s
communication, the Rev. A. L. B
Peile, M. A., vicar of Holy Trinity,
strongly opposing tho acceptance of
the inscription, and the Rev. \V.
Wallan with equal energy arguing
in favor of its acceptance, and con
tending that prayers for Die dead
were not antagonistic to Die teaching
of the church of England. At length
it was decided to reject tho inscrip
tion, and in future not to allow any
tombstone to have inscribed upon it
any verse of poetry or any extract
other than a complete text from the
scriptures. The matter lias given
rise to h considerable amount of reli
gious party feeling in the neighbor
hood.

“Home folks seem to think this is
warm weather,” observed old Daddy
Wolherspoon to old Uncle Linkiu-
bolham, as the two old inhabitants
stood recently before a thermometer
that registered ninety in the sliade.
“ ’Pears to me ’(was worse than this
iu the May of ’28, wasn’t it?”
“A heap worse,” asserted old Uncle
Linkinbntham, "but that wasn’t as
bail as the May of’22. You remem
ber how tiie tin roofs melted and run
(dr Die houses, and we hud to carry
wrought steel umbrellas through the
streets?”
“ ’Deed I do,” rejoined old Daddy
Wotherspoon, mopping bin visage
with some anxiety. “I wus out
hunting that spriug, and wc had to
carry our powder in buckets of water
to keep it from going oil premature
ly. NVarn’t that thespring Die hams
fried on live hogs and the bills melt
ed oil* the snow birds?”
“The same spring,” said old Uncle
Linkiubotham, “I know 1 was off
fishing in Long Island, and the beat
generated Die water intoasteum so as
to blow our boat clear over into I lie
woods. That mouth was pretty
warm, for I recollect how the forest
out hack of East New York melted
down, and I had a stream of liquid
kindling running right through my
farm. One of my boys took a swig
of it one day, by mistake, and when
he died in the fall, we found Him
chock full of splinters. Killed him.”
“Yes, yes,” murmured old Daddy
Wortherspoou, steaming at every
pore. We used to hang meat and
vegetables down my well, ami they
was cooked in ten minutes by the
watch,” and the ancient gentleman
regarded his antagonist with some
triumph.
“We tried that,” said old Uncle
Linkiubotham, “but tlie heat melted
the wires that the grub was hung on
and tiie works of the clock run all
over tiie lloor, ho we cauldn’t tell
how long it did Luke to cook and we
used ice water to do our b’iling
with.”
“Where’d you get your Ice?” de
manded old Daddy Wortherspoou,
tying a handkerchief around his head
to keep his ears warm.
“We just poured water on tho fire,
and the fire was so much colder than
tiie atmosphere that the water froze
in a minute. That’s how we got our
ice. Don’t you want to go and drink
something to warm you up?”
“If we can get a little good old
brandy I’d like it,” replied old Daddy
Wortherspoou, with pale lips and
clenched fist; “i’ll take some proof
l) randy.”
“Coine along, then,” retorted old
Uncle Linkinhotham, contemptuous-
ly-
“You may lie able to stir your
blood with that tipple, but this
weather and the recollection of May,
’22, makes me want some hot spiced
rum and a fur overcoat. To-morrow
I’m going to put on extra flannels.”
And Die two old liars almost killed
themselves that afternoon witli hot
drinks rather than admit that tiie
Almighty could do tilings us well
now as he did when they were hoys.

Them is no danger of a oliildV-es
peeially a hoy's- oversleeping him
self, unless Du* hardships of his wak
ing hours are so intolerable tlint oh
livion heroines a blessing; hut it ran
do no harm to make the health-giv
ing morning hour aH attractive as
possible. Provide some out-door
amusement, a prize “foot rare*, a but-
ter-tly hunt, or gathering windfall in
the apple orchards.” If tiie desire
for long sleep can outweigh such in
ducements, there must be something
wrong- plethoric diet, probably, or
over-study. The requisite amount of
sleep depends on temperament and
occupation as well as on age; with
children under ten, however, too
much indulgence would lie an error
on the safer side. Let them choose
their allowance between eight and
ten hours; in after years, ho veil hours
should lie tiie minimum, nine tin
maximum for healthy children; sick
ly ones ought to have carlo blanche,
both us to quantum and time of re
pose; consumptives especially need
all the rest they can get. Profound
sleep in a cool, (pilet retreat is na
ture's own specific for all wasting
diseases, a panacea without price or
money. Nothing can lie more inju
dicious than to stint children in their
r itli a view if gaining a few
hours for study. “That plan,” says
stoloz/.i, “defeats its own purpose,
* such children arc never wide
awake; you can keep them out of bed,
hut you cannot prevent Diem from
dozing with their eyes open. A wide
awake hoy will learn more in one
hour tHun a day-dreamer in ten.”
Habitual deficiency of sleep will un
dermine tiie strongest constitution;
headache, throbbing ami feverish
beat are precursors of graver evils,
unless a temporary loss of mental
power compels an armistice with
outraged nature. King Alfred, Spi
noza, Helper, Victor Allien, Madame
do Stael, and Frederick Schiller
killed themselves with restless
study; Beethoven and Charles Dick
ens, too, probably prepaied the debt
of nature by their habit of lighting
fatigue with strong coffee. Sleep
lessness may lead to chronic hypo
chondria, and even to idiocy; with
out their long vigils, the monks of
Die Thelmis and the fathers of flie
Alexandrian church could hardly
have written such stupendous non
sense. It is a curious met that com
pulsory wakefulness, combined witli
mental activity often induces a state
of morbid insomnia, nn absolute in
ability to obtain the sleep which it
was at first so difficult to resist. In
such cases the only remedy is fresh
air aud a complete change of occupa
tion. During sleep the brain is in a
comparatively bloodless condition; a
hot heud ami throbbing temples are
unfavorable to repose, and it has been
suggested that insomnia might he
counteracted by a hot foot hath, chaf
ing tiie arms and legs, or any similar
operation that would divert the blood
from the head toward the extremi
ties, and thus leud to diminish the
activity of the cerebral circulation.
Listening to distant music or the
ripple of a river current has also a
wonderful hypnotic effect, tiie repeti
tion of monotonous sounds, or, in
deed, of any seasonal impression,
seems more favorable t<» repose than
their entire absence. The philoso
pher Kant assures us that he could
obtain sleep in a paroxysm of gout
by resolutely fixing his attention on
some abstruse ethical or mathemati
cal problem, hut remarks that the
success of that method depends upon
the lahoriousness of the mental pro
cess; the mind, as it were, takes re
fuge in sleep as Die alternative of
drudging at a wearisome task. Rob-
Burton, too, gives a number of
similar recipes, besides a list of won-
ms medicinal compounds to tie
allowed or inhaled ad honnn
8omni, but in ordinary cases it is bet
ter to try the effects of outdoor exer
cise before resorting to dormousefat,
theological text-hooks or oilier des
perate remedies.
Being natorally a sound and long
sleeper has been ranked among the
surest prognostics of a long life, ami
sleep after a wasting disease as the
most cerium symptom of reeovi ry.
Most brain workers are subject to
occasional fits of insomnia, but tin*
faculty of sustaining health and
vigor upon a very small allowance
of sleep is generally a concomitant
of menral inferiority, or at least in
activity. The most intelligent ani
mals, dogs and monkeys, sleep the
longest; stupid brutes merely stretch
their legs; their inert brain requires
no rest. A cow never sleeps in the
proper sense of the word. Miraheau,
Goethe and James ljuin often slum
bered for twelve or fourteen hours
successively, while Leopold I. of
Austria and Charles IN’, of Spurn,
the heartless and brainless bigots,
could content themselves with five
hours sleep out of the twenty-four,
and their prototype, the Emperor
Justinian, often even with one.—

A N(»n Theory ol Holler Explosion*.
Against many splendid successes
applied science has to offset one con
spicuous failure. It would be hard
to mention a question of iudustiial
mechanics in which the public at
large lias a deeper stake than in tho
safe use of steam, and at tiie same
time it would lie as hard to name it
subject on which men of science
speak with such hesitation and disa
greement. Iu tliis state of the case
any plausible contribution to Die
theory of the subj'-cl merits atten
tion, and Mr. I). T. Lawson, who
lias been experimenting at Munhall
Farm, near Pittsburg, Bunn., lias a
theory to offer.
Mr. Lawson’s somewhat startling
theory is, in the briefest statement,
that it is not the steam in a boiler
which explodes, hut the water. Un
der the pressure of tho atmosphere
water bolls, or steam forms, at, a
temperature of 212 degrees. Increase
of heat only produces a more ener
getic formation of steam, but if the
pressure he sufficiently increased, as
by inclosing the water in a boiler, a
point may easily lie reached at which
steam ceases to form, even though
the tenineratute far exceeds 212 de
grees. The water is then said to be
superheated, and all that is necessary
to tin* production of steam is, not the
application of greater heat, hut Die
removal of pressure. Superheated
water is, then, as truly explosive as
gunpowder, and the flash which fol
lows the ignition of powder is in
some respects similar to the bursting
of superheated water into steam
when pressure is removed. To prove
ids tlieory Mr. Lawson exploded a
boiler. It was of the very best
construction, 6 feet long, 2A
feet in diameter, aud tested to hear a
pressure of 604 pounds *o tiie square
inch. At the time of the explosion
the boiler was three-quarters full,
the water standing 7 inches above
the (ire-line and the gauge marking
a pressure of 380 pounds. The cause
of the explosion wus the simple open
ing of the cylinder-port, as happens
whenever an engine is started. In
stantly tiie cylinder was filled by
steam from the boiler, and — Mr.
Lawson explains—a vacuum was
consequently caused over the super
heated water, which answered the
removal of pressure by bursting into
steam. Thus every drop of water
assumed a gaseous form, and all at
once each globule demanded for its
accommodation 1,700 times the space
which it had occupied the fraction of
a moment before. No iron was ever
forged which could stand such a con
cussion as that, and Mr. Lawson
must have fell that, by bursting nil
der conditions of apparent safety the
strongest boiler which he could pro
cure, lie had gone far to establish bis
Fortunately, a knowledge of causes
shows the wav to the prevention ol
undesirable effects. If boilers explode
because they contain superheated
water, the indicated remedy is to
prevent the superheating of Die wa
ter, or to devise means to use it safe
ly. Under Die first class of remedies
would fall renewed studies us to the
relations between pressure and ten
perature, and the addition of a the
mometer to tiie furniture of the steam
boiler besides tin* vacuum and press
ure guuges. Under the second head
ing falls a device invented by Mr,
Lawson, and which is intended to
prevent the coucussive strain pro
duced by the intermittent escape of
steam from superheated water
into the cylinder by forcing a uniform
liberation of steam from the water.
To this end he would construct, boil
ers with a partition between Dn* lines
and the top of the boilers. Thus a
steam space would lie created over
the water compartment, and it would
lie supplied with steam through
valves in the partition.
These valves, of course, should
be smaller in the aggregate
than the porte or valve through
which the cylinder is supplied with
steam. Mr. Lawson intends to try
to explode such a boiler, and if In*
succeeds bis theory will gojskyward
with the fragments. In any case lie
deserves tin* thanks of the public for
bis study of a subject which has re
ceived an attention quite incommen
surate with its importance. Winn
explosions occur involuntarily they
happen suddenly, without warning,
under imperfectly observed condi
tions, they are over in an instant,
and they commonly kill those who
know most about them. Under such
conditions the progress of knowledge
is necessarily slow, and tho value of
Mr. Lawson’s services, whatever tiie
fate of his theory, is Do* greater be
cause of the luck of similar studies.
Nearly fifty years ago a committee of
the Franklin Institute made the best
series of experimental studies on this
subject ever undertaken. Their re -
port is now buried in the Journal of
Du* institute, but it ought to lie avail
able to every engineer.

When tho Macon and Brunswick
railroad was bought at auction from
Die state for $1,126,000 by R. T. Wll-
soii A Co., of New York, they paid
$250,000 cash and agreed to pay the
rest in five years at five per cent, in
terest. Recently the roan passed Into
Die hands of the Cole combination,
and is now owned by E. W. Cole,
George I. Keney and men of that
class, whose capitul Is unbounded.
Therefore they desire to pay Die
state the balance of $875.(too and inter
est from the 28th of January, 1880,
which will foot up to about$921,000.
When this sum is paid the new com

gia bonds are away up ut tin and 112
and the combination thought of pav
ing the sum due or Die market value
of the bonds. This proposition was
refused by the governor and treas
urer, and they asked the face value of
the state bonds.
It is probable that a compromise
will be effected, and the sum due
paid in United States registered
bonds. An effort to pay in 34 per
cent United States bonds has been
thwarted by the refusal of the treas
urer to receive them, for while lie
has no doubt that they will be regu
larly recognized as bonds of the
United States, yet they are issued
without the authority of congress,
and lie does not fuel authorized to ac
cept them. It seems, therefore,
probable that the balance will lie paid

bonds, and it may lie paid to-day or
to-morrow liy the new owners of tho
Macon and Brunswick railroad.
