MASTODONS CAUGHT.
‘ h's hot," s iid a cheerful centle.nan
in a down town office, "but it i-n't as hud •
n- it was in South Carolina last Sunday.
I was down there three days last week for
mastodons in the bottom of the A-hky
river. What do you think of that?”
picking up a gigantic molar that weighed
about eight pounds, and was grayish
black in c >'or ari l half petrified.
“How would yoy ike to own a tooth!
like that and have it ache? If they did
ache when they belonged to the masto
dons, there must have been a tine howl
ing down there in the swamps, for I've
seen whole bushels o! just tuch teeth
taken out of the rivers, and there are
tons of them there slid. And it isn’t
mastodons alone that you find, but chunks .
of titanotheriurns, dinocerusts, teliosts,
zcuglodons, Lipparinns. megalomeryxes
—whenever you get enough, say when—
chiwopotiiuusscs, | cebrotheriums "
“When?"
‘ Why, in the teifiary period. And if
you dis’ a liiilo deeper, I think you would
find pterrod icty-1, megalos.iurs, glypto
dons ’’ •
"When! When!"
* Ohl”
“Are many persons cr!g"ged io these
mines?”
“I should say so. There are four or
fire lie companies, and ever so many lit
tle ones.”
" All digL’iug up mastodons?”
‘ Yes, sir; not for the sake of the mas
todons, but lor the phosphate that the
mastodons are mixed tip in. Bless you,
they don't slop to pick out mastodons
and piece thim together. They throw
the whole product into crushers and
smash it up, and when it is ground it sells
for from $6 to sls a ton for ferti.iz.aii,»n.
Many a farmer is spreading d-siccated
mastodons and arc! x tpteryxes around
his cori.fiold and potato patch —masto
dons and arc! aoipteryxes that wore —ah!
—s! -eping the stony sleep of centuries.
"This phosphate business is a now
thing, but it's a big one. Why, sir. there
are let me see,’’ and ho pi iuted bis no-e
at the middle of the e filing and shut his
eyes until lie lemi nibcrcd that “there
are 500 000 lons of those South Carolina
phosphates dug up every year. The sup
ply seems to bo inexhaustible. At least
they can go on at the present rate f u
twenty five years more. Do you sec that
photograph? That's the gun that i- used
in catching mastodons."
The photograph showed something
that looked like a wilted iron tu'ip dang
ling from the end of a stem of rods and
chains. A man stood beside the tulip to
show that ils six iron petals were as long
as lie, and that before it win full blown
ho could ca ily have sat inside the bud
had there been anyway of getting in.
“That's a drop nttpplc. Those phos
phate beds stretch along the coast ol
Nerth and Soiitli Carolina, and some oi
tin tn are f .nind in Alabama and Florida
! They cover miles of low county, and are
teohriieully divided into ‘land and rivet •
' rock.’ 'I lie ‘land r"ek’ i.t found on shore.
I nr.tl is mined by eoiore 1 men with picks
and irheelbarr. w-, ns-i. ted by d p| er
dredges. The ‘river rock’ is a crust ol
phosph tc, six to twelve inches thick,
that forms the bottom of a number ol
streams Ii is especially rich in the
B'.-iuftrt, Stono, ami A-hley rivers.
Sometimes there rue two str.i'a of phos
pbatc, with a thick layer ol mud er clay
tn tween. This phosphate, you under
stand, is almost wholly composed of or
ganic rt mains—the boues. ffi-sh and waste '
of nobody knows how many animals
Whether this was a big feeding ground
of theirs, whether they were mired in
swamps there, whether well, the fact
is, nobody knows how they Cttno there
The phosphate, when it comes out of the
river, is a gray, porous, water-worn rook,
and looks like rotten sin Istone. Th,-
smell of it is vjle, but the worse it
smells th • richer it,is..
“That drop graphic has pointed b'ades
|ft weighs fourteen tons, and when it is
I dropped on the river bottom it knocks «
! holo in the layer of phosphate. Then a
15 ) horse power engine puckers it up so
that it takes a globular shape, the blade
folding up together and holding the
< pbospato th it it has loosened. It is
I raised, swung over a boat, ami emptied
into ths boat. There ths phosphate is
washed, to take out the sand, and it is
i sometimes loaded aboard ship, chiefly for
export to Euglai d, but it is more com
monly turned into a crusher that takes a
rock as large as your bod.- tied bites it up
into bitsnot much bigger thin your fi t.
It is washed again and dried, and then it
is ready for shipping. It is sold chiefly
as a fertilizer, but it is also sold to ehem- i
ists. wh.i extract phosporie aei 1 from it 1
j for dye stuff-; and tbi igs like that- The :
I phosphate miners pay to the state of i
I South Carolina a royalty off! a ton—sot
I for every ton dug, but for every one ship i
i ped—but they are not getting poor tor aI ;
, that; nnd as to South Carolina, there’s a i
nice little plum —faPO.vlk) -i year—falling l
into her mouth without raising a finger
ito pick it. Ihe only machinery that w.li !
I puli that stud out of the water is made
jin this country. O::o company spent ■
! $95,000 for a Ciyde made dredge, but j
when I was down there a crew of Scotch ;

“Lasciviousness" is one of the “works i ‘
of the flesh’ ’ and it is essentially sinful
in the sight < f God. Whatever tends to 1
stir lascivious thoughts and feelings in ‘
the bosoms of men is wrong, and it should
be studiously avoi 1 :d. This, if lam not
greatly mistaken, h the greatest evil
growing out of promiscuous dancing.
The girls may be innocent enough and
! pure enough, but they would not submit
themselves to the touch and embrace of
men if they knev, or c mil bs made
to believe, that this contact stirred a mu!
titudc of unholy thoughts in the bosoms
ofmen. My opinions are foimed from
what I have heard men say after the
dance is over. Promiscuous dancing,
i particularly the fashionable forms of it
tends tp lasciviousness among men. Our
girls and young women ought to quit, it
for the sake of men. Somebody, partic
ularly mother-, ought to talk plainly and
e.-irnestly to our girls on this subject. It
is almost impossible for young mo i not to
think the same impure thoughts stirred
in them by the close persona! contact of
the dance, do not also find a place in ‘he
minds and hearts of young women. This
thought is enough to frighten a pure,
prudent young woman out. of the ball
room. If she knew the truth, she cer
tainly w mid not be the ceasion or cause
of so much lasciviousness. The impel
tance of this siibjeet demands plainness
and p< ititc hies- of speech.
.Again: L>w seek and short sle .ve
dresses 0~. our women —half nude dre-s
--ing —stirs an 1 cultivate s lasciviousne-1 i.i
men. The sir's ought to quit wearing
tLetses of this kind. The love of God
and purity ought to move them to it. I
they knew, or could be made to believe,
the character of thoughts stirred in the
bosoms of the young men who “leer" on
them, I believe they would scorn ami
hate a fashion of this kind. It will not
do to say: “Evil be to him that evil
thinks, ’’ for it is equally true hat guilt
attaches to one who stirs evil thoughts.
Ifthc girl- think that I am “straiuitig
at a gnat" lei them ask their mother-,
fathers and brothers. They ought to
know, and they ought to tell you. Tin y
ought to have told you of these thing
long ago. It should not have been Ir fi
for me, or any else to do, S >me folks ar
too tiniij to do wlrit they know ought to
be done. I say these things to you plain
ly, l-ut tenderly, and in much love. If 1
do not ray tl em likely no ere < Ise will,
and after I have .-aid them there may be
some, perhaps many, who vi 1 endorse
and enforce what I have said. Some
will get mad nnd say bard thing- of me.
bu’ this matters not, for I hive c<-;mi I r
el this question in the Iciir of Gi.d, nnd 1
am utterly indiTercnt to the consequences
so fur ns lan pcrsonr.l'v concerned. I
am willing to suffer reproach for Christ's
sake, for the beMerment of the yonii;.-
people. 1 s il some plain things I ,1

The coninierci il and industrial cry of
to day is "developemctit. ” N w field.-
are constantly sought. New enterprises
arc being constantly inaugurated and
new markets discovered nnd created.
Ihe western hemisphere, North, Cen
tral tied SouthAmeriea, afford a vast and
a rich territory for these efforts. From
rhe day of the first advent i.f Columbus
to the present lime constant surprises
have awaited the researches of the cn- I
terprising. Every effort discovers new '
fields, unfolds new wealth. -A vast unde
veloped territory is awaiting the enter
prise of the people of the present decade.
Os bite yeais the attention of commer
cial men and mannfic'urers has been di
rected to countries south, especially to
Mexico and Central America. These
countries not only contain many millions
ol'popula i m that need supplies and tr.an
uli.ctured articles of which our own conn
try produces a surplus, but are exceed
ingly rich in natural produetsand mineral
wealth. A most potent factor in attract
. itig attention to these countries, an I es
tablishing relations of comity and com-
I mereial reciprocity with the ; r inhabitants
‘ was the lute World's Exposition at New ■
Orleans. Most of these conn ri?s were ’
! there represented, and large numbers of I
their citiz'ns were visitors at the Expo- I
sition. The unfortunate delays and dis- |
j Acuities which attended the opening and ?
I eat Her days of the World’s Exposition]
i prevented a full realization of the bene
i fits it was expected to produce. To rem- ’
] edy this a new con pany has been organ- '
ized and a new Exposition will be open- I
; ed.
We have received the prospectus of the
North, Central, and South American
Exposi ion which opens on November
the JOth, next. This new company has
: teen organized with a capital of SSOO,- ■
i 000. It has purchased the buildings and I
plant of the World's Exposition and is!
now in possession of the same. It pro I
poses to inaugurate even a greater and j
more interesting Exposition than the
magnificent World's Exposition. Thu
new company startscut under the most
favorable circumstances, with the build
ings at.d accessories iu hand and in order
for occupancy, and paid for, the great
bulk of their work is already accomplish-
ed. Many of th§ prominent exhibitors |
at the World’s Exposition have*)eft their ]
exhibits intact. Large numbers will re- i
turn with greatly increased and far more j
attractive exhibits, and appli’ations for
space from new exhibitors are pouring
iu in large numbers.
The new Exposition will benefit large
ly from the experience of the old.
The questions of railroad fares and accom
modations for visitors become easy. Ihe
work of obtaining concessions and of sjs
tematizing liavi.ig already been accom
plished. Deficiencies and impediments
in the management of the old Exposi
tion will be remedied. Nothing seems to
stand in the way of its grand success.
The public will rejoice and especially
'hose who failed to attend the late mag
nificent Exposition that the opportunity
for attend me-- i- presented to them.

CHIPS FOR THE CHURCH.
A minister who arrived in the city
a few days ago from Nevada, where
he had been doing missionary work
for several years, tells some curious
stoiies cf people and things in that
country. He spent a portion of his
time in Virginia < ity and had to look
to the people for his support. Once a
we k be went among the business men
for contributions. He took in the sa
loons and gambling shops, as well as
the banks and stores- Contributions
were generally on the liberal scale, as
th ‘ people,though not particularly re
ligious, thought well of the cause, and
vowi d. one and all, that they woi’ d
not let the preacher suffer. On almost
every round he received a number of
‘•poker < hips,” worth from 81 to $-5.
These he would take to the bank,
where they were readily cashed. He
I says he had at first some conscientious
scruples about accepting this kind of
support, but he soon found the "chips”
were used l>y all classes, nnd he
thought it no harm to follow the cus
toms of the place
Among the saloon-keepers was a
perfect Hercules in stature and
strength. He was a man of violent
temper and savage disposition, and
bad killed his man. He was therefore
generally feared. This man was prac
licallv boss of the town, lie sent the
preacher word that he wanted to see
him at h:s saloon. The preacher went
and was informed that l:e could get
rom $5 to $lO a week by calling at
the saloon for it, and that i 5 would be
taken as nn insult if lie refused. The
proposition was promptly accepted,
and thereafter, as long ss ‘.he preacher
remained in tow n, he hid no better
friend or more liberal contributor than
the burly saloon keeper.
On one occ.ision, while in the sa
loon to receive his weekly stipend,
another minister entered and present
ed his claims for assistance. Tiie sa
loon in n refused togive I im anythirg,
saying: "What are you doing in town,
■inyhuiv? I suppose you want to start
an opposition church or something,
and get up a row among us Christians.
I'll teil you why I won’t give you anj
money. You see this man here? He’s
a preacher, too. I’ve just given him
$lO. We kn"W something about h’m.
lie has a bishop behind him. It’ lie
don’t walk the chalk I'll just write to
| the bishop nnd have the preacher
I Oounced. I Lave enough influence to
Ido it. You h i l .c no bishop and can
Ido ns you please We Couldn’t Laie
I ’.ou legally di-mi—■ ■.] if you should go
contrary to our wishes. The only
thing we could do would le to drive
you away.” ’] he rival preacher never
went back.
The informant says it was Lis cus
tom while in Virginia ( ity to bold re
ligious services in the saloons and
gambling de. s. He wuiil Igo in Sun
' day morning and say : “Well, bovs, it’s
' about time to close up. I want to hold
meeting here. Have you any objec
lions?’ They ne'er objected, and,
I as a general thing, conducted them
selves with tie utmost propriety du
] ring divine si-rii e. If one of them
; venture 1 to break over the line of de
i corum, the others would compel him
! to behave himself or put him out. On
i funeral occasions, which were frequent,
the undertaker, who always managed
the job, would compel the preacher to
ride on the hear-e, he being eonsider-
I ed "next in importa .ee to the corpse.”

BII.LV .MUUKUOW- MANY VIRTUES!
We drop a tear a- we record the death
lof | oor Billy Muckrow. His jcnial pre.--
J erice and kcartv laugh added a new grace
to the most exe'u-ive saloons of tl.e town.
Wo say it wi bout fear of contradiction,
i Billy was as square as a chessboard. He
! was m chump. He never killed a man
i without cause; he never forgot to settle
; his score on the slate; he never refused to
■ so < ut on a hunt for horsethieves, nor to
■■ ante up his iitt'e pile when he bucked the
i tiger and lost; and he was a rustler whin
j out with the boys. But his crowning vir
: tue was that just before bis death he paid

The editor ol the Montgomery (Ala.)
; Advertiser is now hunting up the sender
;of the statement that two sons of J. H.
McGowan, of Talladega county, had kill
ed, hung up, and disemboweled, their
younger brother, just as they had seen
their father serve a pig the day before.
We thought the story almost incredible,
but as the Adreitiser published it we felt
that probably it was true.

Mr. H. Sampsef, Ottawa, Kansas, ;
writes : ‘‘ Dr. S. B. Hartman & Co., i
Columbus, O.—Gentlemen : I have suf- 1
sered for seven years ; have tried every
thing and many physicians, and all have
failed. I went to Pittsburgh, and while
there fell on the street, my breatli seemed
to leave my lungs, and numbness over- i
power me. I determined to give Peruna
and Man alin a fair trial. I used four bot
tles of each, and my trouble left, never, I
hope, to return. I left Pittsburgh three
weeks ago for Kansas, and thought, as I
was going to a new country, I had better
take a bottle of Manalin with me, on
account of bad water, etc. I arrived
here with one-half bottle. I found one
of my friends in a pretty bad condition.
The doctors were treating her for chills
and fever. I did not know what her
trouble was, though I persuaded her to
use the Manalin. She did so. and the
first day she was up doing her work.
Now this seems strange, but it is, never
theless, a candid truth. She used it ail,
and has never had cause to lie down
during the day since she took the first
three doses.”
A Caso that was Pronounced In

Miss C. C. Peck, 714 Jackson street,
Milwaukee, VVis., writes: “Dr. S. B-
Hartman & Co. —Gentlemen : I take i
great pleasure in stating to you the benefit I
1 received from your valuable Peruna. j
I have been suffering for about fifteen I
years with a severe cough and bronchitis |
(so the doctors call it). I was treated by
different physicians, and spent considera
ble money for different kinds of patent
medicines, but received no benefit what
ever. Dr. Fox, of this city, claimed I
had consumption, and there was no hope
for me ever getting better. I was so bad (
that I coughed almost continually. Mrs.
Henry Ellis, a friend of mine, induced I
me to try your Peruna. I am happy ;
to say I began to notice a change after I I
had taken my second bottle. I took ;
’ eight bottles in all, and now I feel like a
new woman. If it hadn't been tor Pe
runa I think I would be in my grave I
now. It is a wonderful remedy, and 1 ;
recommend it to all my friends.”
Messrs. Baker Bros., Mt. Vernon, 0., |
write : “ Your Peruna sells well. Cus- ]
tomers speak of it as being a good medi
cine.”
Mr. Daniel R. Spry, Portsmouth. O , !
writes: “ I have a good trade in Peruna.
It sells well and gives satisfaction.”
