IT IS HITTING.
The aunual custom of celebra
ting that significant epoch in the
hialory of our country—the 4lh ol
July—is indeed filling and appro
priate. Every nation has, or
should have, such celebratious.
They are necessary, almost, to
maintain our fellowship of nation
ality, to draw us closer together
and make us feel our mutual de
pendence upon each others sup
port and aid during periods ol
national calamity. A unity of
feeling and a warmer patiotism
are fostered by the national cele
brations of an event in which all
participated and the blessings ol
which all enjoy. The day itself
is significant, for it brings up
memories of a struggle in which
force and despotism combatted
weakness and valor, and the fact
that a nation was rescued from
the clutches of oppression, that a
people were emancipated from the
manacles of despotism, is au oc
currence worthy a nation's great
est reverence and observance.
Let us all, then, whether in a
jubilant procession, or alone with
home and friends, breathe a spirit
of thankfulness that our forefath
ers withstood the assaults of tyr
anny, and came out Victors from
the conflict. Its should be a day
of universal rejoicing, for sacred
liberty witnessed one of its grand
est triumphs and a nation ia en
joying its fruition.
THE WORK WILL GO ON.

the Augusta and Cbattanoogarail

nitely known which of the routes

until they have all been carefully
examined and thoroughly tested
by instruments. That a perfectly
feasible line, one that will be sat

pery Boapstone—A
Paying Inveat-
Ona of the most important bus
iness changes tbsl have taken
piece in Atlanta in many e day,
sod i change in which tlie great
est interest is lelt, is the purchase
by a party of gentlemen headed
by C. A. Collier, of a very valua
ble talc mine, located near Mur
phy. N C.
But little is known here about
lair, and thinking that the peo
ple would like to hear something
of this particular mine, a reporter
of the Constitution called on Mr.
John M. McCandles, and learned
the following :
“As the general impression is
that talc is used mainly for pur
pcget of adulteration. 1 will give
some of the uses to
Tnnch it may be applied. Talc
possesses proprieties which adapt
it to a great variety of economic
uses. It is a highly infusible
substance resisting perfectly the
greatest extremes of tempera
ture reached in industrial process.
Slabs of it are, therefore, used as
fire-stones in hearth, stoves and
for register borders and pipe
holes, also in tips for gas jets; a
very extensive application of the
material is opened up in the
manufacture of liuings for stoves
aud ranges; in short, wherever
an excellent non-conducting and
boat-resisting material is needed
there talc would be applicable.
The fine varieties are also used
in the manufacture ot porcelian.
Talc is readily cut with a knife
and is reduced to the condition of
a fine white powder with the
greatest ease. This powder has
a greasy, soapy feel, whence the
name soapstone has been applied
to the mineral. These qualities,
it is evident, render it suitable
for diminishing friction, and
when ground it is largely used as
a lubricant on the bearings ol
heavy wheels where the friction
is great, lubricating and at the
same time by its excellent non
conducting powers preventing
overheating. Tne various other
uses to which it may be pot.both
small and great, are almost num
berless. It may be used as a
filler in the manufacture of pa
per, especially also in the manu
facture of wall papers and shades
of Iht best quai lieo, where a
handsome surface is desired. It
is very largely consumed in
England, especially as a make
weight in the manufacture of
cotton goods exported to China
and other foreign countries. It
is also very largely consumed in
the manufacture of soaps, not on
ly as a filler, but also aa having
no mean cleansing properties of
its own. It is also the base of
nearly all tke face powders and
looib powders costing scarcely
auything and sold at high prices.
Talo is also made into duslless
crayons, being far superior to or
dinary chalk where a fine white
line is needed. Tailors use ii
under the name of “French
chalk,” “Briancon chalk,” and
“Venice talo” in making cloth
before cutting. It writes readily
on glass, and is used by glaxiers
for marking glass before cutting
with the diamond. It readily
absorbs oil and grease, and is
ased in powder for extracting
such spots from silk and woolen
goods. It is also used in dress
ing skins and lenther, in boots
and shoes aud forms a large per
centage of the composition of va
rious patent grease, as axle
greases. It is also used in iraitat
ing engraved stones, being easily
cut and afterwards hardened by
heat, when it may be changed to
any dasiced color by the use of
metallic solutions. This is also
the same slope known as the
“figure atone” of the Ghuiese,
from which exquisite figures and
ornaments may be carved. This
material ia also very largely used
in adulterat ions; though this use
of it is to be depreciated ; at II it
| ts better that an inert harnile-s
material, such as this should he
used, than imtut subs l anr s

WASHINGTON LETTER.
I *°> gtoidttsbe able to say that
Mr. Corcoran lias recovered suf
ficiently to \eeck tbe cooling
shades of Deer Park bs being un
able to stand tbe fatigue of the
trip to bis Aisual resort, White
Sulphur Springs.
For tbe present the President
baa discontinued his public re
ceptions, owing probably to the
average ordeal of such au under
taking, with the thermometer
dallying with the nineties.
It has just transpired that dur
ing Mr. Jay Gould’s late myste
rious visit to this city, he really
did a generous and patriotic aet,
for which 1 wish to give him cred
it. While viewing Mt. Vernon,
where Washington’s remains are
entombed, Mr. Gould, teaming
that a tract of land contiuguous
to the estate was desired to pro
tect the property Irom encroach
ment, he ordered it bought at his
expense for 62,500 the owners be
ing Lawrence and Elizabeth
Washington, great-grand-nephew
aud niece of the first President
and presented it to the ladies of
the Mt. Vernon Association.
The grand jury of the District
of Columbia have, in their report
presented the Post Office, Treas
ury and Interior Department
building* as teing in such a bad
sanitary condition as to endanger
the health and lives of the sever
al thousand employed of (hose
Departments, and the Govern
ment Printing Office, as well as
some of tbe ,theatres, and pro
nounced nothing better than hu
man fire trays. In calling the at<-
tentibn of Congress to tbe mat
ter, the grand jury will "ay that
if a private individual were re
sponsible for such a state of af
fairs aa this, he would be iudict
ed for maintaining a nuisance
l'he Building Inspector had this
lo Bay on the subject of the Print
ing Office. “It is the worst fire
trap in the United S ates, and
a disgrace to the Government.
That building is four stories
high, 800 feet long and 60 feet
wide, and in the two upper sto
ries about 1,500 women work, and
yet there is only one Blair way for
them to escape by in case of a
fire.”
Once more the head of the as
sassin, Ouitean, bobs up to pub
lic view, and will be exhibited in
a New York Museum. It is said
by those familiar with the cir
cumstances that there can be no
doubt of the genuineness of this
head. The bones of the assassin
were articulated and placed in
the Medical Museum of the Na
tional Capitol, where they still
remain, bat it now is divulged,
that a doctor severed the head,
and perhaps other portion*of (he
body, for soeculalive rather than
scientific purposes.
Pension Commissioner Black
has decided to exercise the au
thority vested in him by law and
to restrict the legal fees in rases
of Attorneys for Mexican Pen
sion-claims to $lO, though the
Saw allows a fee of $25. if such a
contract has been made, provided
it is approved by the Commis
sioner of Pensions. But, Gen,
Black thinks tile former fee is
enough in snch eases and has is
sued an order limiting fees in
these cases to thatwmount.
The business of ihe Interstate
Commission continues to grow
and has already reaceed propor
tions not anticipated by its au
thors or members, amt it is now
believed that the work will re
quire tle seryi,-ha ol shoo' filly
clerk-. T i r- i:*V been nearly
2.000 applications tor appoint
ment to clerkship under the Coni
mission. Such vast and varied
interests are committed to the
charge of ihe Com mission that it
will soon be rightly considered
one of the most important Bu
reau* of the Government and
one that will continue to grow
in popular favor. There Is dis

R-eenl developments convince
me that Republicans are impret>-
and with the idea that their only
hope of success in 1886 is lo sgi
taiu se'ional issues and inflame
the mind of tbe people of the
North with the aid war feeling.
Ihe first step to Ibis end is the
Dependent Pension Bill, the next
■ts echo, the battle flag howl, and
the third will be tbe conversion
of the Grand Army of tbe Re
public into a partisan Republi
can organisation, to be sounded
up by tha nomination of a Milita
ry candidate, or a bloody shirt
sbrieker.
The estimated receipts and dis
bursements of the Gonernment
in July and August show that
there will be a decrease rather
than an increase of the Treasury
surplus during that time. Afier
providing for $19718.000 of the 3
per cent, bonds due July the Ist,
the surplus will be about $37,-
000,000. The pension appropria
tion of 676,075,000, for tbe fiscal
year ending June 30.1887, is al
ready exhausted, consequently
the Pension Bureau, reports that
when the new appropriation be
comes available July the Ist, it
will draw 612,000,000 for pensions
leaving then a Treasury surplus
of 625,000,000.
