there is no life on earth so happy as a really
Christian life. Ido not mean a sliam Chris

there is a thorn, there is a whole garland of
roees. Where there is one groan, there are
three doxologies. Where there is one day of
cloud, there act a whole season of sunshine.
Take the humblest Christian man that
you know —angels of God canopy him
with their white wings; the lightnings of
heaven are his armed allies; the Lord is his
Shepherd, picking out for him green pas
tures* by btiil waters; if he walk forth, heaven
is his Dody guard; if he lie down to sleep,
ladders of light, angel blossoming, arc let
into his dreams; if he be thirsty, the poten
tates of heaven are his cup bearers; if he sit
down to food, his plain table blooms into the
Kings banquet. Men say; “Look at that
old fellow with the worn-out coat;” the
angels of God cry; “Lift up your heads, ye
everlasting gates, and let him crime in!”
Fastidious people cry: “Get off my front

right with reference to the future. Oh the*)

Let me tell you, my dear brother, that ths
silliest and wickedest things man ever does
is to reject Jesus Christ. The loss of the soul
is a mistake that cannot be • •erected. It is
a downfall that knows no alleviation; it is a
ruin that is remediless; it Is a ki''knees that
has no medicament; it is a grave into which
a man goes but never come* out. Therefore,

render your heart to Christ. You have been
long enough serving the world: now begin to
serve the Lord who bought you. You have
tried long enough to carry these burdens: let
Jesus Christ put His shoulder under your

say: “I to attend to that after awhile;
it is not jost the time*” It is the time, for
tiie simple reason that yon are sure of
r, other: and God toads you here
this morning, and He sent me here
to comfort you with thi*
tag©; and you must hear now that Christ
died to save your soul, and that if
you want to be caved you may be saved.
‘'Whosoever will, let him come.” You

comes to save you, lest you should lose your

On Monday morning a friend of mine
rtarted from New York to celebrate her
birthday with her daughter in Virginia. On
Saturday of tVe same week, just after *un
ri.,e, I stood at the gate of Greenwood wait

long journey to take in one week—from Now

from Washington to Virginia, from Virginia

A Romance of Middle Age.
Three carriages drove up in front of
St. Stephen’s Protestant Episcopal
Cliuron, yesterday morning a little after
ten o’clock, before the regular service.
Out of the first stepped a tall, hand
some, middle-aged blonde gentleman,
who, hat in hand, helped a buxom,
good-looking, brunette lady of about
30 trom the carriage. With the friends
in the other carriages they stepped into
the vestry, where the Itev. ])r. McCon
nel, who was waiting, soon made Isabel
Henderson Reid aud Robert M. Floyd
man and wife.
The lady is a daughter of Peter Hend
erson, the famous New York florist and
millionaire. There were present Peter
Henderson, father of the bride, Mr. and
Mrs. Edwin Floyd, father and mother
of the groom; Master Westworth Floyd,
his little son, aud Jean Reid, tho pretty
ten year old daughter of the bride. Mr.
Floyil iH of Chicago, but of late has been
residing in Philadelphia.
A few hours after the ceremony Mr.
and Mrs. Floyd started for Washington
on their wedding tour, and on their re
turn will reside at 1,005 North Fifteenth
street.
The wedding has connected with it a
very pretty story. Fourteen years ago
they were lovers and engaged, but the
young lady’s father said no and they
had to acquiesce. In the meantime
each married, and as the years went by
lie liecame a widower and she a widow.
They met at a party, and now the widow
and the widower are united in “the old
love.” —Philadelphia Timet.

A letter from Watertown. X. Y., to
the New York Timm, •vi that there are
•orae interesting thir*jf (bout

r their memorie* rtry smrh to m-Dll
the time when almost exeryteeir up thi*
wy depended on the mnple trees for
• ret 'tufb. Thet wm before the dart of
railroad!, when <ne lugnr was herd to I
get. and erery farmer tapped the maple
tree* os hi* farm. Now the business it
srried on by those who have btrire nurar '
orchari* tnd only about one farmer oat:
of every twenty bothers with it. Bone j
ugarmnken in this section gather the tap
rum utnany at 4000 trees, and tend to
inark-t several tons of mapie sugar an- <
anally. In an extra good season five
pounds of sugar to the tree is made, but 1
that is a big yield. The average ia about
three pounds to each trie. The manner in i
which the tweets are gathered in these large .
orchards is quite astonishing to the old
time sugarmakers, who used to carry on
the work in a very primitive way. The
old timers began by catching the sap in
wooden troughs which were made from
small trees with much labor, as they had
to be hollowed out with an axe. ami then
charred over an open fire to prevent the
sap from running out through the pores
of the wood. An aojrur was used in tap
ping. and wooden spiles were driven in
the trees. The sap was carried by hand
to the boiling place, where it was evapo
rated in large iron kettles swung up on s
crane over an open fire. The modern
sugarmaker looks to the economy of
things and makes the work easy. Instead
of an augur and wooden spiles, be uses a
patent galvanized iron spile and a tin
bucket. The spile is driven into the tree
with half a dozen blows of a heavy mal
let, and the augur is dispensed
with. The bucket is suspened
from the side of the tree by a nail
made for the purpose. Smooth roads
through the orchard in every direction
allow it to be traversed by a team, so
that the sap is all drawn on a sleigh,and
the man has little to do except pour it
ft m the bucket on the tree into the re
ceiving tank on the two-hone conveyance.
In-tcad of kettles, shallow sheet-iron pans
set in an arch are used in evaporation.
The arch economizes fuel, and the pans
shorten the process of evaporation about
one-half. An automatic feeder keeps up
the supply of -rip in the pans. As this part
of the work is done in a snug building
erected for the purpewe, (hstead of in the
open air, nearly all the hardships iheident
to old-time sugar-making are- done away
with. The people who used to carry sap
long distances in pails suspended on a
yoke, like Japanese porters, and afterward
boiled it in the ope air. exposed to all the
inclemencies of the season, call the present
way of making sugar a mere pastime.
Another feature of sugarmaking fifty
or sixty years ago, which is now absent,
is the good old-fashioned sugar party.
Those were joyous times when, in re
sponse to an invitation, all the neighbors
for a mile or more around would gather
in a fanner's “sap bush” to attend the
‘•sugaring off - ' and fill their jacket* with
warm sugar. All of the boys and girls,
is well as the married folks, attended
these frolics, and four feet of snow, with
i cutting March wind, never kept them
st home. When a party of this sort as
sembled around the “boiling place” there
was music in the air until the syrup had
been reduced to a consistency where it
would harden when poured on top of the
•now. When this point was reached each
member of the party would give his or
her undivided attention to a ball of ‘ ■ jack -
wax” big enough for two of the most
voracious candy eaters of the present day.
When the sugar had been stirred in the
kettle until it was partially cooled and
nicely grained, it followed the “jackwax”
until all had fairly gorged themselves.
To this day it is a mystery among the old
inhabitants how they managed to eat so
much sugar and not make thcm'-elves
sick. One of them in speaking to the
writer of old times expressed a willing
ness to give up all his earthly possessions
if he could live over the days when he
used tp carry home a ball of “jackwax
on a chip to the brothers and sisters who
were too small to go out in the sugar
bush. There are thousands, no doubt,
who will echo the sentiment.
The Coeeannt Crah.
On the Agal Island*, in the Indian •
Ocean, there is a very strange crab. He
is known to science as the Birgus lutro, or
thief crab, and his depredation? are carried ;
on in the cocoanut groves which abound
on these islands. The crab grows to be
twenty-two inches long, measuring from
the tip of tail to the end of the long claw,
and resembles in general appearance the
hermit crab. The abdomen is fleshy and
not covered with a shell, and in order to ,
protect this it is the habit of the i.iief crab
to take forcible possession of a shell of the
Trochas family, in which it lives. It is
nocturnal in its operations, and has the
faculty of selecting the trees having the :
finest cocoanuts upon them. Climbing
up the trunks frequently for twenty-five
feet, it reaches the limits and severs the
stems which attach the nuts to the
branches. These are frequently as thick
as your three fingers, and would require a
strong knife torutthem. Having brought ’
down the nut. the crab now descends to I
the ground, digs a hole and rolls the cocoa
nut into it.
He then commences to tear off the husk,
fiber by fiber, until the nut is completely
exposed, and then breaking in what is
known as the eye he eats the meat com
pletely .out. The fibers stripped off the |
cocoanut by this mb will frequently fill a
bushel basket, and they are gathered for
making mattresses, and are also twisted
into ropes. Cocoanut groves are culti
vated by those who make a business of ex
tracting the oil from the nuts to be used
for illuminating purposes, and the depre
dations of this crab are of a very serious
character, in many eases the efforts of the
natives to exterminate them proving fruit
less.—Scientific American.
The Oldest Bank Notes.
The oldest bank notes are the “firing
money,” or “convenient money,” first
issued in China, 2697 B. C. Originally
these notes were issued by the Treasury,
but experience dictated a change to the
banks under Government inspection and
control. A writer in a provincial paper
says that the early Chinese “greenbacks
were in all essentials similar to the
modern bank notes, bearing the name of
the bank, date of issue, the number of
the note, the signature of the official
issuing it, indications of its value in
figures, in works and in the pictorial
representation in coins or heaps of coins
equal in amount to its face value, and a
notice of the pains and penalties of
counterfeiting. Over and above all was
a laconic exhortation of industry and
thrift: “Produce all you can; spend
with economy.” The notes were printed
in blue ink on paper made from the fiber
of the mulberry tree. One issued in
1339 B. C. is still carefully preserved in
the Asiatic Museum at St. Petersburg.

picked up. The tides of the hut were
composed of thin planks, which afforded
only a slight protection from the cold. In
one comer was a mass of rags where the
men slept and a* the board* of the floor
were laid loosely, the water could be
heard swashing against the piles s few
feet beneath. Inside and outside the hut
were heap* of rubbish partly sorted over,
which gave out a horrible odor, render
ing the use of tobacco a luxury. Lying
on one of the rubbish heaps were three
dogs, whose presence would seem to be
useful to keep off the wharf rats which
could be seen moving among the piles.
At high tide the men said that the water
was only two feet below them, but they
did not appear to mind the rats or the
poisonous odor from the rubbish, although
they complained of the cold. During
twelve and often fourteen hours each day
they are at work picking over the rub
bish. and are paid $1 a day.
At the dump foot of Eightieth street
matters were worse, as six men were
crowded into one little hut, which af
forded hardly any shelter, while the at
mosphere was even more poisonous than
at the other dump. At this place the
men work from twelve to fourteen hours
a day, and the expert pickers receive $1
for s day's or night's work. The worst
feature of the dumps is that it is impos
sible for the men to live on them and
keep in a state of health. They are cer
tain sooner or later to fail victims to dis
ease from the very air they breathe, to
say nothing of the exposure from the
cold. But the men do not know this;
they only struggle to earn their pittance
and keep warm, while people living near,
who might be supposed to fear a pesti
lence, will sav in answer to inquiries that
they believe there are Italians living under
the dups, and pass on. knowing little and
caring less about the matter.—Ane Jerk

Costly Circus Paraphernalia.
“All that glitters in our circus is not
false,” saitf Toriy Hamilton, the genial
pres* agent of Bamum's big show, To a
New York Mad and Exyree* reporter.
To prove his assertion he took the reporter
to the large property room in the second
story of Madison tkjuare Garden, where
big plies of paraphernalia were arranged in
admirable order. Nothing was out of
place, not even a spear used by the humble
super in the grand parade around the ring
at the beginning of the circus. The felt
hats, trimmed with gold fringe, and worn
by the cavaliers in the arena during the
grand entry, were of the finest material.
“What is the value of the large velvet
cloth that covers the back of your largest
elephant 1”
“It cost SIOOO and is made of the best
material. We do not know what shoddy
good* means, because we buy the best.
The people in the audience, as a rule, im
agine that the glittering display they see
is made up of cheap stuff, merely to please
the eye and not to last. That is a great er
ror. Barnum As Bailey wiU*not have any
thing that is not of the best material.
You can form some idea of our property
goods by the fact that we paid SBO,OOO for
them. Why, if we used inferior stuff it
would all fall to pieces before the season
was half over. It is cheaper to buy the
best.”
The reporter then wandered around
among the Arabs and heard the versatile
press agent converse with these curious
children of the desert in choice Volapuk.
which they readily understood now and
then. Among them was the swarthy Al
gerine who does the knife-throwing or im
palement act, with the assistance of a brave
Moorish girl. Mr. Hamilton said the im
palement act had been withdrawn because
the people in the audience did not like it.
“We never do anything that is liable to
shock the audience,” he added. “There
is no danger whatever in throwing knives
at the Moorish girl, but it looks so. It is
merely an optical illusion. Not a single
knifeeornes in close contact with the girl,
but the knife handle does, and that gives it
a dangerous appearance. Why, that Al
geria is so true in his aim that he can cut a
single hait every time he throws a knife.
A Statue to Hydrophobia's Hero.
The site of the Pasteur Institute could
not have been better chosen. It crowns
a hill of considerable elevation, and from
his front windows M. Pasteur looks down
upon the Champs de Mars, the Invalides
and across the Seine, has a view of the
Trocadero, the Bois de Bologne and all
that part of Paris in the vicinity of the
Arch of Triumph. The only ornament is
a marble group, representing an incident
iD the history of the institute. It is the
story of a shepherd boy of the Depart
ment of the Jura, who killed a mad dog
under peculiar circumstances. His name
was Jean Baptiste Jupille, and he was at
the time only fifteen. He was tending
his flock one day in a meadow near his
native village, when he caw a large dog
rushing ferociously toward a group of
small children playing near. He ran in
between. The enraged animal seized him
by the thumb of his left hand and re
fused to let go. He succeeded in press
ing him to the ground and hold him
there, while he forced open his mouth
with his right hand and released his
thumb; not, however, without receiving
several new bites. Then he wound the
lash of his whip about the beast’s muzzle
in a manner to render him powerless, and
beat him with his sabots till he was dis
abled. As there were still signs of life, he
carried him to a brook about a hundred
yards distant, held him under water till
there was no doubt that life was extinct,
and, having washed his wounds, returned
home as if nothing had happened. He
arrived in Paris the 20th of October, six
j days after he was bitten, and was treated
! by Pasteur till the 29th, when he was
j supposed to be cured. It was the second
; case treated by Pasteur, the first having
been an Alsatian boy. This was four
years ago. Now he is a young man of
nineteen. He is soon expected at the
institute, where he will he permanently
employed. That his heroic act has been
rewarded with a statue is only another
illustration of that quickness of sym
pathy which leads the French to recog
nize acts of individual merit no matter
under what circumstances they may be
displayed.— San Francuco Chronicle.
True Version of n Nnrserj Classic.
A few days ago, says the New York
Graphic, some five or six gentlemen were
talking together when one of them of
fered to bet with each of the others that
not one of them could write down cor
rectly the child’s prayer beginning: “Now,
Lord! I lay me down to sleep.” The
offer having been taken, each man wrote
his version of the prayer, and each one
failed to write it correctly, as they all ad
mitted when the proposer of the bets
submitted to them the following version:
Now, Lord! I lay me down to sleep;
I pray Thee, Lord! my Soul to keep,
And if I die before I wake,
I pray Thee, Lord 1 my soul to take.

Suckers from plum and apricot trees

suckers form, and the habit, once ac

adding alternate Uyers of quicklime and

WHITEWASH FOB OCTBIH.DKGS.
There are several preparations of lime
used for washing outbuildings. The prin
ciple upon which all of them are made is
the same, viz.: To make the lime in
soluble so that it will not be w ashed off.
The particular receipt referred to is as
follows: Half a bushel of quicklime is
slacked with boiling water in a barrel,
the barrel t>eing covered while the slack
ing is going on. The slacked lime is
strained and a peck of salt dissolved in
warm water is added to it; also three
pounds of ground rice boiled to a thin
paste, half a pound of Spanish white,
and a pound of powdered glue dissolved
in wanr water. The whole is mixed and
left for four or five days; when used it is
made hot and kept hot. This is quite
weather-proof and will last for three or
four years. If color is desired, burnt
umber will give a light brownstone tint,
which is very agreeable. Another wash
consists of half a bushel of lime slacked
with boiling water enough to cover it
five inches deep; when the lime is quite
slacked it is diluted with water, in which
two and one-half pounds of sulphate of
zinc and one pound of common salt are
dissolved. It should be of a creamy con
sistence. Three pounds of yellow ochre
will give it a rich cream color. —Ntic York

RASPBERRY CULTURE.
Bulletin No. 4 from the Agriculture.
: Experiment Station at Auburn, Ala., in
cludes in its contents the following on
the culture of raspberries:
“There is some difficulty in growing
the black cap type on account of liability
of the canes to be sun scalded where
they bend over, and their failure in field
culture to propagate. They propagate
by layering at the tips of the new cane-,
in the late fall. If our seasons are dry
they often fail to take root. The plants,
however, bear abundantly, and may be
j grown Tbr propagation in partially shaded
! positions, such as the north or west sides
of the fences.
“Twenty-live varieties have been grown
for three years in the horticultural grounds
I of this station, upon high sandy soil,
with results showing that the red vari
i eties and some of the hybrids propagate
as readily as briers, bear as abundantly
and endure our long summers equally as
well. This is especially true of the Tur
; ner and Cuthbert, two exceedingly
1 hardy and productive varieties, produc
ing berries of exquisite beauty and deli
: rious flavor. Golden Queen, a hybrid
variety of superior quality, has given
i entire satisfaction. Schaffer's Colossal, a
i cap variety, propagates readily by cut
i tings, produces abundant crops of very
large berries of an unattractive purple
tinge and is especially desirable on ac
count of its lateness in ripening, com
mencing just as the earlier varieties finish
bearing and thus prolong the season.
The red varieties propagate by root cut
ting and hence should be planted not
nearer than four feet each way.
“The soil should be made rich for best
results with raspberries and kept so by
annual top dressings of well rotted com
post or a mixture of cotton-seed meal,
] phosphate and kainit, applied in early
j spring and forked in.
“The old canes which have borne fruit
must be removed in winter from all types.
I The canes grow one year, bear fruit the
| next, and die.
“The red varieties should have the
new canes cut back to two feet in June or
July to cause them to branch and become
storkv and self-supporting. The cup
varieties must not be cut back until win
ter if plants are desired to be formed at
the tips of the vines.”
FARM AXD GARDEN' NOTES.
Plant plenty of peas.
Is your seed corn ready?
Clean your oats before sowing.
Early spring is the best time to begin
preparations for the autumn fairs.
Good tools are essential to good farm
ing, a saving in time and cost of labor.
Don’t have fear about frost hurting
early grass seeding, for it don’t work that
way.
It is always late to sow grass seed after
the first few favorable days in spring have
j passed.
The difference between the cost of pro
duction and net price received, is what
constitutes the farmer's profit.
What arrangements have you made to
j make the work of your wife less the com
ing season than it was the last?
Our country is large, and its interests
ire varied; but it is not too large for
brotherly affection to exist between its
most widely separated parts.
A farm horse that steps briskly at the

It will be better to defer planting a day
or two rather than attempt to do it with
the ground wet, or when from any cause
it is not possible to get it into a good
tilth.
Every step from the plowing of thi
soil, through the various steps of apply
ing the fertilizer, planting the seed, cul

Without a *lumber-re>be, that part ol
the room occupied by the lounge ti founo
wanting, declares a lady in the Prairie
Farmer. I have made an inexpensive on
of turkey-red cheese-cloth, cotton-batting
and black zephyT. Of course, we would
allprefera “dream of a robe.” and might
have one if we could spare the time and
afford the material for its construction;
but where time and means are limited, as
they are in my case, one like mine will be
found useful, and is really very pretty. I
chose dark colors to avoid laundrying:
Put cotton batting between two sheets ol
cheese cloth, made the desired size—mint
is two yards long and one and one-hall
wide. Tie it the same as you would a
comforter, adding a few strands of zephyr
to each knot to give it a fluffy appearance.
Around the edge I put a zephyr fringe.
Knitted or crotcheted lace, such as is used
for trimming flannels, would finish the
edge nicely, if one has time to make it.
FEASTS THAT BRIGHTEX THE HOME.
The simplicity and beauty of the plant
that brighten the home should recom
mend them to all. When one sees a larg<
bail of green flecked with blue stars in ;
window it is hard to believe that the
delightful effect is gained by sprinklint
flaxseed in a sponge. This is a very
cheap and easy way of beautifying :
window. The sponge should be sus
pended, moistened just enough so that*,
the water will not drip from it and the
flaxseed should then be thrown over it
If the sponge is kept damp in a few week!
a very pretty floral ball will be the re
sult. The flower, formed like a star witi
a white heart, grows on a stalk. The
leaves are fern-like in shape and the bal
makes a charming window ornament.
Avery pretty flower pot is a pine cone
Canary seed sprinkled in one will take
root and give a bushy green foliage
thickly dotted with beautiful flowers like
the heliotrope. By suspendins the cones
between vases containing trailing plants
and training the vine along the strings i
very charming effect is gained.
For pots containing flowers of bright
foliage, those made of porous clay are
the best. The pot should be placed in
water and then rolled in seed, whict
takes root and grows just enough to en
hance the beauty of the flower.
Sweet potatoes, with the ends cut of
and placed in water, send forth a beau
tiful vine, on which grows a pretty blu<
flower. The vine grows rapidly, anc
may be trained around the vessel in whicl
the potato is placed, almost concealing
the source of life.
Carrots and turnips grow in water,anc
with little care make a very pretty window
plant. The water should be changed as
often as sediment makes its appearance ii
it. There are a hundred ways of orna
menting the house cheaply and easily
with plant life. The plants referred tc
ire of easy and rapid growth, and need !
but little care, giving the most beautiful
results for a minimum of attention. It
planting vines for window decoratiot
the richest garden soil should be used, and
ill dead or decaying sprouts should be re
moved at once. —San Francisco Chronicle.
RECirES.
Bread Omelet—To a large teaeupfu;
of bread add a teacup of cream or riel
milk, a dessertspoonful of butter, salt and
pepper to suit taste, also a little nutmeg.
When the bread crumbs have absorbed at
the cream add three well-beaten eggs and
fry in butter.
Baked Beans—Soak one quart of bean;
in water over night; in the morning pul
them in an irou kettle with one half
pound of salt pork and water to cover.
When tender, but not broken, take out
of the liquor with a skimmer, anil put in
a baking pan with the pork on the top
and bake until brown.
Fruit Jumbles—One cup of butter,two
cups of sugar, three-quarters of a cup ol
sweet milk, two eggs, three and a hall
cups of flour, three teaspoonfuls of baking
powder, one cup of currants, half a nut
meg, grated. Bake in broad, shallow
pans, pat down with a floured spoon
about an inch thick, after baking. Whilt
hot cut in squares.
New Beets, Butter Sauce—Select twe
medium-sized Bermuda beets; wash and
dry them without breaking the skin;
cover with fast-boiling water, slightly
salted, boil thirty-five minutes; remove,
scrape off the skin and cut them in slices,
and the slices into stripes. Melt an ounce
of butter, add to it a little salt, pepper
and a teaspoonful of vinegar, pour it

finely cut onions and thin slices of tur
nips, season with pepper and salt; let it
steam or simmer gently for one hour and
a half; then pour over it some melted
butter and let it steam or simmer twenty
minutes longer. There will be a very
.nice gravy by that time and the meat will
be as tender as chicken. Serve garnished
with the vegetables.
Hot Egg Salad—Mince one tablespoon
ful of pickle and mix with an equal
quantity of the grated rind and juice oi
one lemon, a saltspoonful of salt, a dash
of cayenne pepper and three tablespoons

A Great Baptism.
Last Sunday, Richmond, Va., was al
most without au adult inhabitant. The
entire population hud gone to the banks
of the James River to witness the great
ist baptism ever known among tire col
ored churches. About lidt) w ere put un
der the water and many more are to fol
low. This is tne fir-t result of the un
precedented revival going on for
three weeks. In many instances fifteen
minutes’ time are consumed in shaking
one person by the hand and relatiug their
vision. By daylight the entire negro popu
lation was up’ preparing to attend this
baptism, which was to begin at 10:30.
The crowd in at'endance was estimated
at 30,000. The converts marched in
procession through the streets, many of
the women wearing white tobes, some
of the more opulent attired in directoire
gowns. Rev. John Ja*per, the invinci
ble anti-Satan slugger, who has reg ilarly
once a month hurled the moving sun
among his missiles at the arch enemy,
towered 6 feet 1 above the vast con
course, and though several years older,
his voice is the strongest and his roll of
converts the largest. The three minis
ters stood ia the river, three lines of
penitents moving to them at a time, anti
the groans and shouts, the ecst.tic
emotions hit rolled over this vast mul
titude surpassed anything of the kind
ever heard in Richmond before. The
police in order to prevent disasters, had
to scatter the crowds from the bridge.
Hundreds were not able to get in 6ight
of the water. — Exchange.
Control the Market.
The New England mills have practi
cally surrendered the manufacture of low
grade goods to the Sou hern mills, and
now devote themselves exclusively to
finer and more profitable work. The
Southern mills have fairly captured the
“brown goods” market, an 1 as they are
crowding each other in that market some
of them should enter upon the manufac
ture of higher grades of g od, and so
make profitable business for themselves
and room for the new mills at the same
time. Enterprise is better than “combi
nation,” both for our mills and the peo
ple who support them. Having entered
the field of cotton manufacture, the
South should not rest or halt until it
dominates every part of it. Th- re is
room and opportunity on the higher lev
els, and the next step must be forward
aud upward; not b .ckward. It w ill he
