COTTON PRESSING
THE QUICKEST TIME ON RECORD!
A BALE OF COTTON PACKED IN FOUR
MINUTES.
A representative of the Evening News
slipped into the burut warehouse of
Phinizy & Cos., to see how the Messrs Hitt,
were making out with the mass of burnt
and wet cotton purchased by them after the
; fire. We found them quite busy, and with
a largo force >f hands assorting, picking
and packing what might have once been
called the * fleecy staple. ” Mr. R. G. Hitt
1 informed us, on the assertion of Mr. Geo.
' )' • Evans, that a bale of cotton was packed
!in hix minutes. This seemed to us uupoa-
I sible, ami Mr. Hitt also informed ns the
j tiim was unprecedented To prove it to

I the KVening News, he. had tho two presses
. cloaicd for action, and at the word from
! i'im the Evening News man kept time from
■ the start, as tire first bale rooted from
j tho press iu charge of Mr. Geo. \V. Evans,
i tbe waten-dial showed only four minutes
J from the time ©f starting, and tho press in
| charge of Mr. Frsnk Murray turned out
! the bale in four and u halt minutes There
were eight working bauds used at each
I press The bales weigh about a thousnud
! pounds each of wetc<>ttou. Endowing tip
tho first bale on Mr. Evans’ press, tho Evc

; like the first, and the secoi and was done in |

Charity Hamilton, a solvent, who I>q oug

for several years with a cancer on her nose.
She was treated by some of the best physic

nothing brought, relief. At last we induced
her to try Swift’s Specific, being furnished
from our drug store. She took about *2O
bottles, and is now completely restored

tried almost every remedy 1 could hear of
from old men a.u.l old women in the coun

se and paten* medicines 1 could hear of.
To fact, I tried almost everything except
the ligature and surgeon’s knife, which 1
dreaded, but. looked to as a last resort. Noth
ing did any good. I grew worse day after
day. mouth after month and year after year.
When I came toyou my suffering bail be
come absolutely unbearable. At times my
pain was so intense that I could not sit,
stand still, or lay down, hut walk, walk,
walk, Aid suffer the agony of toiture. At
this time I had piles, fissure and rectal ul
cer. You o**ered to cure me, and gave the
guaranty of cure—‘No cure, no pay.” Un
der your treatment I improved rapidly, and
am now well ofthat fearful disease cured !
without the ligature and without tho knife,
and, best of ail, without ’ niu!

A New and Start ling Invention.
To tho ordinary mind it seems inevi
table that if two trains approach each
offiier on the same track and do riot
slacken their speed a collision must
ensue. But there is a man iu Cqn
flecticnt whose mind is not ordinary.
Of course, we do not moan by such a
statemontto insinuate that the Nutmeg
State possesses only one man gifted
with ordinary mental endowments.
The woods there arc full of them, but,
so far as heard from, there is only one
who has exercised his genius of solv
ing the problem of how to enable two
trains to muss ou the same track with
out collision.
The plan of this ingenious person is
very simple, as all really great plans
aud ideas are. He proposes to plaoo
on the front of every locomotive going
in one direction a long inclined jdane
upon which a?e two rails. These come
o ose to the track at tho forward e* and of
the plane, and at the hinder efttF are
connected with other ruiiaj that run
alon.tr the tops of the cars, and down
to tho main truck on another inclined
''plane in the rear. When tho train
provided with this attachment moots
another on too same traoK, tho latter
simply goes over the fortnjffr, its
weight making the connection of tho
front of this inclined plarte ’a*d tho
rails of the main track and
noting; at the same time as a bitike ou
the speed of the train underneath.
It tit is invention had been made a
few years sooner the number of double
track roads iu the country would not
now be half so great as it is. A single
track with occasional switches for
heavy freight trains would answer all
purposes, and the cost of constructing
railroads would be decreased 25 per
cent, at least, Tnc system will* of
course, be adopted on the single track
roads, and wituin a few years the sen
sation of ridintr over or under another
moving train will be so common as to
pass ainiost unnoriejd. This is a great

The Georgia Wonder Explained.
Is she magnetic? Oh, yes; and that’s
what makes me mail. I regard it
asrcasonable, and, usually proper,
that when a pretty, gentle, refined
girl stands close in front of a man,
looks him in the eyes, lavs
ur sott palms on his hand and radi
antly smites, lie should do her sweet
will oil the snot, no matter how violent
the required exercise may bo. Now,
the relative positions which 1 have de
scribed nre exactly those of Lathi, and
every man who undertakes to resist
her power, physical, metaphysical, or
whatever else it may be. Just because
she is a girl they idiotically submit. A
gaze from her uu.gy eves and a lunch
of her coar>e paw overcomes ilium,
ami while they think they’re resistiug
with all their might, they really do not
oppose her effectually. This is ad
Ilium is in her leuia, except that she is
more muscular than any wearer of pot
iCoats ought to be. Once in a while
some lovei-headed man refuses to bo
impressed, and then she fads in her
feat. If she v:is merely rural and ufi
fashionable, 1 wouldn’t grumble, 1
am as quick as anyoody to dwcover
prcltincss, no matter how freckle!,
tanned or buck-wood-y its possessor;
hut if Lulu was to he dressed in a Fai
ls gown and taught tho ways of u Fifth
avenue drawing-room, she would re
main uuroutn. Whore is the reward of
really fascinating merit in our soy if
men are going to let such an uncultur
ed maiden capture them? 1 would
just iiko to back a fasiiionub’o New
York girl against her. My champion
diould be one of our highest develop
ments of feminine iiniwn, induced by
the riding, tennis piftyitig, pedestrian
isiu and other exercises that are now
so much iu vogue. 1 would wager
that my girl could make a man stand
oh his head where Lulu could only
lance him around tne stage a little.

Soft Wood for Fuel.
In portions of the conutry where
hickory, maple, and white oak abound,
little use is made of the soft woods ns
fuel. Many regard them ns nearly
worthless for*ihat purpose. In the
west, where wood for fuel is scarce,
farmers have been advised to plant
hardwood trees for producing fire
wood. They Imvo been told that hard
wood is worth twice as much as soft
for heating mid cooking purposes,
while the expense ol cutting amt haul
ing is iiotu'jy the .same. Admitting all
those statements to bo eorreet, it docs
not follow that it is advisable to plant
trees producing hardwood if the object
is to obtain lm l in the time .
possible. Tjiu maple, hickory, beech,
and white oaks are of very slow growth.
Tree* set out in one’s childhood will
not be of very large size when the
pmntor reaches old age. Moat of
tliesu trees will not grow well except
on soils that are very favorable to
them. YYtyJpws, poplars, nnd white- j
wood trees, however, will grow almost ;
anywhere. They arc easily propagat
ed by cuttiugs ns well as by sowing
the seed. Thoir growth is very rapid.
Especially is this the ease witn the va- j
rious kdids of willows. They are
among the first trees to put out leaves
in the spr.ng, and they continue, to
grow until heavy frosts appear m the <
fall. Good fuel can bo obtained Horn :
willow trees that hitvo boeu planted oiil
but five or six years. As soon as the
trunks arc cut oft sprouts will appear, I
which in the course of a few years will !
become stately trees. The wood is
certainly not tho best. It is, however, (
very easily obtained, and will prove !
bettor than most persons Suppose. Too ;
trees should be felled and the wood j
cut iu suilablo lengths early enough in ;
the season to aliow it to become tlior- j
oughly seasoned before the approach
of winter, it will dry well if tne bark |
remains on the wood. Many think !
that it dries better if tne sticks stand
nearly upright than if they arc corded ;

Midnight in Marseilles' Cemetery.
Late at night. 1 drove with my cour
ier outside tho city to the cemetery, St.
Pierre, to see tho burial of three chol
era patients whom I had observed in
tho rliaro Hospital in tho afternoon,
j The routo led through tho poor quar
ter, and at every corner bonfires Were
hluaiug to purify tho air. Tho whole
population was silling out on tho steps
of tenements or on church porches on
joying the fires and the currents of air
created by them. Tho country road
beyond tho barriers brought us to tho
gates of the cemetery, when tho polito
concierge, who was politer still for 6f.,
led ns walking down a spacious road,
lighted here and there by lanterns ly
ing on the ground, to a place just back
from where we had been anil where
th night’s burials wore to take place.
Soon tho first of the hearses appeared;
then followed tho others. After a brief
*uriai service, intoned by a pale young
priest, who looked badly seared, three
j boxes wof 1 # Queriedlv lowered Into a
. trench ofchffc H>t deep by twenty foot
long, ami a goodly quantity of linie
shoveled on top. it was a ghastly
trench, and there was plenty of room
for more coffins. It was a weird and
, saddiymig sight. There stood tho
I blanch-iaced priest, intent on his holy
i calliitg, surrounded by a gang of
! swart, bare-chestod, brigandish-look
ing laborers, who boro the somber cof
fins. Fora background there stood
the tall white houses. The dead still
wore their tawdry trinkets, and tho
whole was lighted up as in a picture by
Rembrandt by the fitful glare of three
lanterns. Those gaping trenches were
big otiough to hold their thousands. A
concierge showed me a burial permit.
Across the fare of tho document was
written “Cholera—urgent,” and there
was a requisition for some disinfectant.
I went hack to the central part of tiie
city, and it was gay enough. Bands
were playing and cafe lamps were
gleaming. People in throngs were
walking in the streets laughing mer
rily, and many heads were poked out
of the windows of the houses. It was
hard for me to believe that 1 had just
visited tho hospitals, and had witnessed
death, or that the terrible scones at the
cemetery were realities ami not mere
phantasms of mv imagination.—Cor

In the physical world South America
is full of wealth, and nature has bo.-
stowed upon it a matchless grandeur
in its rivers and its mountains. Prof.
Fisher shows us that inter-tropical
America (North and South) surpasses
all the world in the number and variety
of its plants, while Agassiz shows us
how greatly tho wonderful variety of
itß fishes surpasses that of North Amer
ica. Of course, much of the country
is now malarious and unhealthy, yet
vast regions of elevated and most
beautiful sections are most salubrious
alid healthy, and clothed with tin in
'Tudible wealth of ceaseless production.
Endless varieties of the must luscious
fruit nnd beautiful flowers, with birds
j nf gorgeous plumage and gigantic but
j tro llies, de.ight the eve on every hand,
. far up ou olevHliooM where neither the
winter’s cold nor excessive heat is ever
i known, and all nature teems with
health, beauty and abundance. Even
the lo\y levels along thu great rivers
teem with endless wealth and invite a
commerce that has scarcely begun,
save in a few articles. East of the
Andes, and intersected by many great
: rivers, is probably' the greatest and
most valuable forest on tho globe, and
ainiost untouched by tho ax. Mr.
Thompson, who held the position of

Tricks in Export shooting.
“Exhibition shooting ain’t what it
pretends to be,” exclaimed a veteran
crack shot. “When a man attends a
tournament shoot with a shell-loader
on the ground who is known to he
‘square* it is far different work than
that indulged in by a man who goes
before an audience with his own gun,
loaded by himself, and the targets or
traps his own private property.”
“You don’t mean to sav that, those
‘crack shots’ who give exhibitions of
thbir skill’are crooked, and don’t do
•square work?” interrogated the scribe.
“Well, some of ’em are ‘square’
enough, perhaps, but the majority are
not, and 1 know what I’m talkinu
about. Frank Frnyno, who uged to
shoot an npplff off' tee head of a lady
on the stage, until lie killed his sweet
heart at Cincinnati a few years ago,
was one of the qiuiro men. He was a
good shot; and swine of the men who
practice deception are good shots, too,
but they prefer to he mi the safe side.”
“Explain yourself?”
“Well, take Buffalo IFH. for instance.
Bill can handle a gun iu good shape,
hut in Ids Wild West shown lie rides a
iiorstf.nfc full gallop nnd shoots glass
balls thrown up by men along the
tracK. lie pretends to do it widt a
rifle ball, but lie don’t because lie is
afraid of missing ton many of them.
Tne second dav the show was here lie
gave an exhibition ot hi* .sviil with a
rifle, but Luo Uiils had neon extracted
from his cartridge* and they were
liilod with shot.”
“What o'her cases do you know of!”
“Welt, Bogurdus has two small boys
who slauu up and shorn at a target.
When they strike the bull’s-evo a bell
rings. Tho hell manages to ring near
ly i very time, and the people think
these boys arc great shots. The se
cret of their skill lies in the fact that
the l argot is so arranged that if tho
ball fdrikes a space anywhere within
six inebuß of the center it causes tne
lie 11 to ring. Tlint ni ikc< it very or
dinary shooting, (/'apt. BoganJu.s him
self is a .-q tare shooter, a.s is his eldest
son, Eugene, hut they sometimes re
sort to tricks, and the boy is by far tho
finest giioi ot the two. Are there any
other tricks? Well, 1 should think so.
It is like every other business; there
are ‘tricks of the trade,’ but it is best
nut tri give them all away.”

Tho fashionable gin of tho summer

seems. It is not the old-fashioned

At Ouwfordville Tuesday Robert Ush
er, alias Thomas .Fulton, was at res tod
by M. I>. L. (h uger, Sheri tt, upon a re
quisition from tho Governor of Texas,

The wwrann killed by lightning at La-
Grange ou Friday last was ho badly
burned, or rousted, as it were, tint it
was impossible to wash and dress tier
for L ami* In e ery oflbrt to d> ho the
flesh would fall off the side ou which
she was burned in great masses, aud so
repulsive in smell that this much of the
rile to the dead, had to be dispensed
with. The vry first effort to wipe her
luce, wiped one side of it away, making
her look so hjdeu ad frightful that
her friends begged t*> have her wrapped
in a clean white cloth, coffined, and
buried with mr little handling as possi
ble. There was this peculiarity about
the case : There was a huge hole
through her foot oil the stricken mde
having every appearance of stioh a
wouud as a musket ball would make, it
making a round smooth hole on the
instep, and coming out on the cen
tre aud bolt in of the foot iu a large,,
Open, ragged wound.
