More than tw<vthird« of Mexico’! ia»*
ports come from the United States.
There is a marked tendency to a coo*
centration of capital in industrial opera¬
tions.
A correspondent of the Country Gen¬
tleman claims that the area of the pro¬
ductive agriculture in this country is not
keeping pace with our increase in popu¬
lation. —
The bachelor wheelmen in Buffalo
have, announces the New York Tele¬
gram, established a fund, as an encour¬
agement to matrimony. They have each
atm to deposit $50 in the bank, and
the total sum of $500 is to be given to
the first of the number who marries,
“Some e of these young fellows is
bound to ride into matrimony on the
wheel of fortune.”
in Queensland there are 2000 acres
of land under cotton cultivation, and
farmers everywhere arc turning their at¬
tention to its further growth. Owing to
excessive rain tho season has been
against them, but in some cases a ton of
cotton per acre was secured, the quality
being pronounced excellent by local ex¬
perts in the colonics who also claim that
It is much superior to ordinary Amciicau
cotton.
What thought transference actually
means was exemplified tho other day in
New York City, when an entire school
of blind pupils visited tho Dure exhibi¬
tion of paintings, accompanied by the
Rev. Dr. Btryker. Tiie latter explained
with much minuteness of detail the gen¬
eral appearance of the picture and its
various points of excellence, that the
children left tho place gleefully chatting
about what they had seen through their
preceptor’s eyes.
A remarkable scene occurred at a re¬
cent meeting of the Bewdley (England)
Town Council, which was held for the
purpose of electing a Mayor for the en¬
suing twelve months. Tho retiring
Mayor (Mr. Hatching) was proposed for
re-election, and one Mr. Crump was also
proposed. There wero eight votes for
each candidate, the Mayor recording his
vote for himself. Then the Mayor (who
had persisted in presiding at tho elec¬
tion iu defiance of a vigorous protest

It is coraput.d in London that during
the ensuiug twelve months various debtor
Governments of the world will be seek¬
ing loans aggregating over $560,000 i*
000, and it is felt that, no matter who
succeeds or who fails, there will be a
heavy demaud on Loudon for gold. Tub
bank rato is abnormally low for the mo¬
ment, simply because Russia has tem¬
porarily ceased withdrawing gold. But
protests against this dangerous optimism
are already heard aud a general stiffen¬
ing is likely to coaie before the new year.
The Rothschilds estimate Russia’s sum
of gold in hand at $565,000,000, but it
is carried between the Bank of Russia
«nd the Imperial Treasury in such a mys¬
tifying way that tho figures can always
be juggled from one account to the other,
and withdrawals may commence any
day.
The New York Tribuuw asserts that
“the proposition to establish a Road De¬
partment, or a Road Bureau in tho Inte¬
rior Department, has been received with
small favor by those most deeply inter¬
ested iu tho canstruction ot go>d roads,
And Coogress is not likely to be asked to
give serious attention to it. The senti¬
ment in tavor of good roads, however, is
iteadily increasing. Excellent reports
have been received from Vermont, Mas¬
sachusetts, Maine, Maryland and Georgia.
It appears that President Gilman, of
Johns Hopkins University, is taking an
active interest in tbe formation of local
leagues tor good roads in the vicinity of
Baltimore; and Professor George H.
Hamlin, of the Maiue State College, in
tends to undertake the establishment of
such leagues iu his State. It is highly
gratifying to see this class of men zeal¬
ously interested in this good work. In
truth, it is a matter that concerns every
member of the community.”
Some notion of the dangers aud diffi¬
culties which attend upon railway con*
struction in India may be gathered from
Lieutenant Colonel Sargeaunt’s report,
on the Mu Valley State Railway, British
Burmah—a lino 314 miles in length,
which is now in progress. All labor had
to be imported and the food supply to
be arranged for. The unhealthfulness
of the country was also a serious hin¬
drance, one-half of the laborers being
down with sickness at a time. Under
these circumstances it is bardlv surpris¬
ing to the Bofton Transcript that large
numbers of men absconded. The sub
ordinate staff also suffered much from
sickness, and many had to take leave.
Moreover, the dense jungle, which re¬
quired to be cut down, delayed the com
niencemem of earthwork considerably.
There are between 10,000 tnd 11,000

The courts of Georgia have recently
given out «ome interesting telegraph
laws. One decision exempt* telegraph
companies from penalties for failure to
deliver messages on Sunday, and an*
other decides that a telegraph company
is not excused from using care because a
message is ungrammatical.
The most recent estimates of the capi¬
tal invested in the etecrical industries of
the United States is $725,000,000, and
of this amount $350,000,000 represents
the proportion which electric lighting
and power have attained; $100,000,000
is also the estimated investment in elec¬
trical supplies, of which the electric
lighting and railway appliances consti¬
tute a large proportion.
The wheelmen of five years ago would
have laughed, opines the San Francisco
Chronicle, if any one had suggested that
a good road bicycle could be turned out
weighing only 11 $ pounds, yet this is
what Berio, the crack rider, has done.
The details ox the construction of his
machine show the large part which fine
tube steel plays iu it. Light gearing
and the. pneumatic tire promise to reduce
the bicycle record materially duriog the
coming year.
Judge W. L. Putnam, of Maine, one
of the new United States Circuit Court
Justices, never was much of a genius for
mechanics, but uow finds that many of
the cases he is called to pass upou in¬
volve patents. This has led him to study
a class of subjects that he had not pre¬
viously had a fancy for. A few days
ago he was industriously iuvestigatiug
the construction of a firecracker, aud he
learned just how to make one before he
got through. Boon afterward he tacklea
the harrow question.
A charter has been granted in Phila¬
delphia to the “Society of the War ol
1812.” The society numbers among its
members fifty-five veterans, scattered
throughout tho Union. David McCoy,
aged 102, is probably the oldest. He
residos in Sau Bernardino, Cal. When
he volunteered, in 1812, he furnished
his own gun and horse. There are
several members whose age, it is said,
approaches 100, and Abram Dally, of
Brooklyn, who is over ninety-seven,
signed the charter without glasses in a
clear, legible haud.
Dr. J. William White, lecturer on
surgery at the University of _JPennsyl
vania, lias made a special stu y o f i n
a ennsfffianls; Tustitu~“Tie*lnaae a
agnosis of every injury received by them
and demonstrated that the worst case of
all was very trivial. He says further,
“I never neglect an opportunity to de¬
fend this great game of football, so in
ducive to health and so beneficial to the
players in every way. It makes a man
of them in every way, develops courage,
endurance and every characteristic that
goes to make a truly symmetrical man. ”
The other day the Turks consecrated
the grounds on which the Turkish Pavil
lion of the World’s Fair will be erected.
First, they killed a large white sheep, as
a sort of insurance to prevent Allah from
destroying the building. A hundred
men in bulging breeches, rimless red fez
and red slippers stood around tbe sheep,
which had been raised by an Iowa
granger. One man prayed, another tied
a bandage over the eyes of the sheep,
and Fahri Bey cut the animal’s throat
with a sniekerscee. Then the hundred
men yelled “Patis hoem Jok yacba,”
which means “Allah save the Sultan,”
after which Fahri Bey and Robert Levi
made speeches. After this everybody
went to the Turkish village, where the
Sultan’s silk tent, valued at $100,000,
and a silver bed from his harem were,
and the sheep was there cooked and
eaten.
A tax on house rent has been substitu¬
ted for the proposed income tax in Rus¬
sia, and it is intended that the amount
shnll vary iu accordance not only with
tbe size and importance of the town,
but with the position of the house of the
taxpayer with regard to a central point.
The neccessity of raising money is ob¬
vious from the published returns of ex¬
penditure during the last twenty-five
years of the Food-Supply Guarantee
Fund, which has replaced the former
village grain reserve magazines for that
period with disastrous results. From
1867 to 1890, inclusive, thirty-two mil¬
lions and a quarter was expended in re¬
lief; in 1891 alone the amount was over
eighty-six millions and a quarter; in
1892, from January to October, the cx
penditure was fifty-one and a quarter
millions. Thus the relief for last year
and ten months of the present year cost
more than ten times the total expendi¬
ture iu the previous twenty-four years.
The Guarantee Fund is unable to meet
the demaud upon it. It has received
nearly 135,100,000 from the Imperial
chest, which has uow to be repaid, As
the hamlets and villages are not expected
to be subject to the house-rent tax,
the Government apparently contemplates
recovering a great part of the debt of
the agricultural classes from the trading
and industrial elements of the popuia
den
It is said that tbero are a round
dozen of Americans who look like the

In 1889-90, 12,686,973 pupils were
enrolled in the elementary and second¬
ary public schools of «.he nation. In
1880 there were but 9,809,505. The
average daily attendance in 1890 was
8. 144,938. For I lie support of public
schools in 1890 the sum of £140,274,-
484 was appropriated, or an expendi¬
ture of $2.24 per capita, School
property is valued at $73,394,729.
The economists who in the early
part of this century feared a growth
of population which could only be
checked by war, pestilence and fam¬
ine, took no cognizance, opines the
Yankee Blade, of agricultural chemis¬
try. Apparently no limit can be
placed to the product that may be put
at the disposal of man, providing lie
keeps pace with the methods of
science.
Says the Washington Star: “Senator
Chandler, who lias given much time
to careful study of tho immigration
problem, declares that an absolute sus¬
pension of all immigration for a period
of at letst dvc years would be a good
thing for the United States. Such a
barrier would need to be strongly con¬
structed and well defended, for the
foreign nations that have for years
been engaged in shipping tlieik* crim¬
inals and their paupers to this land of
liberty will not give up the habit until
they are compelled to. The probabili¬
ties are that many of the inunigrative
evils from which we suffer could be
reduced to an agreeable minimum by
a strict, impartial application of the
present law. The meshes of our net
are flue enough now, but there are
great rents in it, made by practical

ie American Farmer says: Owing
to the fact that the area of farming
land is limited, but the number of
farmers only limited by tho possibili¬
ties of making a living, the English
fanner lias a tough time of it from an
American point of view. He never
owns his Jaml—lie must rent it from
one of tiie 60,000 aristocrats who own
all the fields in the Kingdom. He pays
on an average about $7 an acre rent,
and besides this must pay all the taxes
—“poor rates,” “water rates,”
“school rates,” and “county rates.”
If he keeps a gun lie must pay a year
lytax. If he goes a-fishing he must
pay for it. He must pay a tax on
every vehicle on the farm, and the
tax on four-wheelers is much higher
than on two-wheelers; so he uses carts
as much as possible. He must pay a
tax on every dog he keeps—which is
a mitigated infliction, as sheep-killing
dogs seem to be a rarity in England.
If the farmer ever uses one of his veh
icles to convey another person—even
his wife—he must pay an aunual tax
of $3.75.
Photography now plays such an im¬
portant part iu providing testimony
for inquests and law courts that many
railway companies retain permanently
the services of a photographer, whose
duty it is to hasten to the scene of a
collision, or any kind of railway ac¬
cident, and secure a picture with tho
slightest possible delay. Tho value of
photography at a time of inteuse ex¬
citement, when reliable testimony is
difficult to secure, was shown recently
in the Carnegie riot, when rioters
were afterward brought to conviction
by the evidence of photographs, which
showed them in the act of firing.
Another instance of safety and cei’
taintv of photography as a witness
lias occurred at a recent inquest. A
servant fell while cleaning a window
and was killed. No one saw the ac¬
cident, but her employer, who hap¬
pened to be an amateur photographer,
took a photograph of the window be¬
fore anything was disturbed. This
photograph showed the position ol
the sashes, the wash-leather, dusters,
etc., ou the sill, and satisfied the cor¬
oner that the girl was sitting outside
at the time she fell, and was not lean¬
ing out from the inside. It is suggested
by the Chicago News Record that the
time is not far distant when a photog¬
rapher will be officially attached tc
avery division of police.

A Year of Progress.
There is no doubt that this will be a
year of great progress iu Georgia. Al¬
ready there are signs of it all over the
state. The people have gone to work in
a hopeful spirit and with renewed ener
giep, and they appear to have entered
into a compact to do their best for Geor¬
gia iu this year of grace.
The newspapers in every city and vil¬
lage are calling attention to the state’s

Excursi ons ftom western
states idle, are bringiug in settlers, and our
but fertile, lands will soon become
fruitful and yieid abundant harvests.
The south never offered such a field
for the investor as she offers now; all the
conditions are favorable for investment,
and this fact is being realized by money¬
ed men of the north and west, who are
coming among us daily.
After a while there will be but little
idle land in Georgia. A state so rich—
so prolific in resources—must attract the
capital that will be a mighty factor in its
deve lope ment.
“Let tbe good work goon.” It has
been well begnn, and the close of 1893
should witness the most wonderful pro¬

the followin'! address to ail the security
holders of the Georgia Central:
To the Security Holders of the Central
Railroa i and Banking Company of Geor¬
gia and of Its Allied Property s: The
undersigned, appointed as a committee
to reorganize t >e company aud its inter¬

under the advice of counsel and on the

receive all net earnings d( dared as divi¬

It is proposed also that the compnny
shall execu e a first mortgage, under
"*hich four (4) per centum one hundred
(100) year gold bonds will be immediate¬
ly issued to the amount of $40,000,000.

and betterments, ss set forth in the ac¬
companying It schedule. the shall

The committee has carefully cousidered
with the receiver aud with the board of
direcn rs of the Central company the !
several interests o' the security holders
lines, of the and Central it is company the unanimous and of opinion the allied of j
the committee, of the receiver and of the i
board that ad interest have received i
equitable and fair consideration.
It is essentirtl that prompt action be
taken by the holders of the various se- j

the deposits of these securities without j
“ e ‘ a J •
Iu case there shou’d be failure to make I
deposit of fufficient of the securities to 1
induce the committee to decide th>‘ plan
operative, the result will naturally be
that the main stem of the Georgia Cen¬
tral railro.d will be liable to be severed
in interest from tbe allied lines. Al¬
though this would be unfavorable to any
it new company acquiring tbe main stem,
wou d be still more unfavorable, if not
disastrous, to the security holders of the
allied lines, which depend more for their
sustaining power upon their relations to
the Central company tnan the Central
company depends upon them.
It is one object of this plan that the
system shall be prt served substantially
in its complete integrity; and uo effort
has been spared to avoid discrimination
as between tbe securities of the Central
company and those of the allied lines
Under the proposed reurgan zation the
fixed charges will be so reduced that
th? t there is, in the minds of the com¬
mittee, no probability, that that the new
company—operating the entire property with
under one system m d management,
ihe economies growii g out of such an
arrangement—will not be able t > meet
these fixed charges, and, within a
reasonable time, pay a dividend not ouly
upon its preferred but upon its c> turnon
stock.
has The provisions which the comnrttee
sought to make aie not temp rary
provisions, but have been framed with a
view to the future of this great and valu
ab'e property.
Tne committee has full and absolute
right 'o declare the plan operative upon
the whole system or upon »ny part in re¬

to insure stuc ss.
A guarantee or underwriting syndi¬

secure and guarantee the same, and more
particularly to secure the conversion of
the tripartite t oads and of the secured

new company.
The accompanying table shows the se¬
curities, deposit of which is asked, and
tbe proposed participations thereof in
the seen ities of the new company.
This result has been ariived at after
full* st consideration, and the plan is now
r«c mmended for adoption, to every
holder of any such securities.

A House-Building Fish.
In Lake Nyassa, Africa, there is a curi
ous little black fish which builds a breed¬
ing house every year. In tho bottom
mud of the lake it scoops out a basin two
or three feet in diameter, heaping up the
mud removed from trie bole so as to form
a wall around the margin. In this lak<
within a lake this queer little fish erects
a mud house about fourteen inches ac-r >ss
at the bottom, rapidly coming to a point
in the shape of a broad cone. A hole
about four inches in diameter, always on
the south side, serves as an opening f<n
egress and ingress. A dried specimen of
this queer piscatorial domicile preserved
in the Royal Museum at Berlin has two
•loors and a mud wall separating the
:, dwelling” into two rooms.

When the gain of what is termed a
whoie nation under arms is estimated,
the exaggeration, says the Fortnightly
Review, of the pompous phrases hides
the nakedness of the fact that large
numbers of young men are lost to their
country by the meins to which they
Italy resort and to Germany escape military service. Id
these may be counted
by legions; in France men arc less nu
merous, because men are more wedded
to the native sod, and take to service
more gayly and more thousands' naturally, but in
Italy and Germany fioek to
immigrant ships, thus choosing life-long
self-expatriation, and c-vcry vear. as the
military and fiscal burden-grow heavier,
will lads go away by preference to lands
where, however hard be the work, tho
dreaded vo.ee of the drill sergeant
cannot reach them. Patriotism is a fine
quality, no doubt, but it does not accord
with the chill and supercilious apathy
which characterizes the general temper
and teaching of this age. and a voting
man may be pardoned if he deem that
his country is less a mother worthy of
love than a cruel and unworthy' step¬
mother, when she demands three of the
fairest years of his life to be spent in a
barrack yard, and wrings his ears till the
blood drops from them or beats him
about the head with the butt of a musket
because he does not hold his chin high I
enough or shift his feet quickly enough, ‘

A m uAi. farming district in Michigan !
has provided itself with a telegraph line !
eight miles in length, connecting a large j
number of > altered farms with the’
village store, the propri tor cf which
officiates as telegraph ope: a oi\ express
agent, postmaster and s » on. The total :
cash expen lit-ure for the out lit is said t
have been only sour- *20.1, while the ex- j
pense of maintenance, w hich is but a 1
trifling sum, is assessed equal!v upon the
owners. The Enqtnei ring Magazine is
of the opinion shat the small cost- and
enormous coim ir.ouce ut mu h a system 1
as this in country districts ought to lead
to a more general adoption of the plan,
Especially after the expiration of the
telephone intercommunication patents in 1894, such a system
of by wire would be
possible in every township throughout
the country. The individual expense I
ws:
many times its cost every year.
