The new oil fields in Northwest Virginia are attracting considerable attention. Grand preparations are being made in New York for the proposed demonstration, on May 1, in behalf of the eight hour-day movement. A man in Nashville, Tenn., report* the discovery of perpetual motion. A descrip, tion of the perpetual motion machine does not accompany the report. Several journals have already commenced to tell what congress has failed to do. It strikes the farmers of the country that the present congress has been a very active body. The democratic minority In the Benate is said to be ready to do all things possible to prevent the passage of the many ob jectionable republican partisan measures now being concocted. The scandalous stories in circulation with regard to the letting of the contract for Alaskan fur seal fisheries may result in a congressional investigation of them.

Jake Kilrain, the pugilist, who was sen fenced to pay a fine and serve a term of two months in jail for prize fighting, is now bookkeeper at the saw-mill of a Mr. C. W. Rich, near Jackson, Mis3.

The portrait of Mrs. Van Buren, one of the mistresses of the white house, was hung in the green room of the white house a day or two ago. Mrs. Van Buren was the wife of President Van Buren’s son. She was a South Carolina lady, and her maiden name was Angelina Singleton. She married Maj. Van Buren in November, 1838, and made her first appearance in the white house the following New Year’s day. A subcommittee of the House judiciary committee is uncovering some very inter esting facts relative to the fraudulent and unlawful manner in which, in some locali ties, United States district court proceed ings are conducted.

In Boston the officials do not allow jail birds the privileges accorded to such char acters in New York. They are not per mitted to leave their colls while awaiting trial, and have to eat the prison food unless friends send in their meals. Liquors, beers “tonics,” aud pop beer are excluded en tirely. If the prisoner is in need of medi cine it is furnished on a physician's pre scription, at the expense of the county. Boston always was behind New York in everything. Harrison Piirvrtng on 1882. United Slates Treasurer Huston’s an j Douncemeut, when he returned from In ! diana a few davs ago. that President Harri ■ son intended to seek a renomination, is the j excuse for a great deil of political gossip. It is probable that Mr. Huston knows very little about the President’s intentions, be* cause tbeir relations have not been as con fidential lately as thev were daring the last presidential campaign. Hr. Huston at that time was chairman of the republican state committee of Indiana, and tbe President placed a great doal of dependence in him. He was removed from that position, how ever, and he no longer has access to the inner circles of the President’s councillors. But it is evident that Mr. Huston is right in saying that the President is in the field for Ib.Fi. Tbe s gns that he is are apparent. HeknoAs, however, that he is unpopular, and that his popularity is not likely to in crease. He is depending for a rer.omination, therefore, upon the office-holders. Ke tninks that be has made sure of the support of the great newspaper organs of his party by providing handsomely for tneir editors, and he has taken care t > fill all the influ ential offices with mn who will work for him. He has, therefore, shown himself to be a much shrewder politician than be has the credit of being. When it is remem bered how great the number of office holders is, it is seen that he is in a position to exercise extraordinary infiuencs in the selection of delegates to the next national convention. It is alleged that Mr. Blaine, instead of be ing hostile to him, favors his renomination, and will use his influence in that direction. He would like to remain in the state depart ment with the view of doing something there would give him a permanent place in the history of the country. If be has an ambition to be President he gives no sign of it. He runs the state department pretty much as he pleases, except that be is not permitted to pursue any policy that would likely lead to entanglements with other nations. It is probable that tbe President and his advisers do not expect that the Republican party wili rere.ve any support in the south in the jext national election. Indeed, it is doubtful if they even hope that it will carry New York, if they can control the three doubtful stated of New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana, they think that with the re cently admitted states they can be victori ous without the solid south and New York. It is probable, therefore, that during the next two years no effort will lie spared to strengthen the Republican party ia New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana If this is really the President’s pro gramme tbe proposed legislation to placa national elections under federal control may be abandoned. It is reported that the Pre.-ident is of the opinion that ha made a mistake when he adopted a south ern policy, and that it is not possible to build up a Republican party in the south by legislation of a political character. If /this is his opinion, the south may have peace daring the remainder of his adminis tration. A peaceful south may be more helpful to bis plans than a south disturbed by hostile legislation. But. after all, if tbe President is working for a second term, is he not depending too much upon state* which he regards as surely republican? There have been great charges in the political sentiment of the west within the last year, and there are in dications that there will b 9 still greater changes before the next presidential elec tion. The President may gain a reuomi na tion, but hardly a re-election. Strengthen the Association. It will be very generally admitted that the Citizens’ Sanitary Association has ren dered excellent service since it has been in existence. It has kept a close watch upon those • things which, if neglected, would tend to injure the health of the city, and it has supervised closely the fruits, meats and vegetables offered for sale in the markets. There is no doubt that the watchfulness of the association has had the effect of making the authorities more careful in the dis charge of those of their duties which relate to the public health. It is a matter of the highest importance that the health of the city should be kept good. That can be done only by seeing that the articles for food offered in the markets are wholesome, and that the city is kept clean, and drained wherever drain age is needed. If the people are satisfied that the Citizens’ Sanitary Association has been of service, and is likely to continue to be, tbdy ought to help to sustain it. Its revenue depends upon its membership, and the membership fee is small. As many citi zens should join the association as could afford to do so. The more money the as sociation has the more good it will be able to do. Summer is close at hand, and it is neces sary that the city should be put into good sanitary condition. The work that •the association expects to do is to point out danger spots and suggest the remedies which will render them harmless. It will ■work in harmony with the city authorities, assisting them in whatever way it can. Dr. Talmage fiuds it pretty hard work to raise the money with which to rebuild his tabernacle. It is even said that he threat ens to leave Brooklyn unless greater liber ality is shown in the subscriptions to the building fund. A paper was started with Dr. Talmage as editor, with the View of promoting the building of the tabernacle. It was expected that 100,000 subscribers would be obtained in a very short time at $1 50 each. It is stated that only 1,600 have been secured thus far. This would seem to indicate that there is not a great demand for Dr. Taimage’s paper. The statement is made that a Chicago church has offered him a salary of $30,000 a year. He gets $12,500 in Brooklyn. He is a rich man, however, and can well afford to live wherever he pleases. The project known as the Grace Peruvian contract has been consummated. It is a gigantic financial undertaking which Peru is entering upon, whereby she expects to liquidate her debt. The capital of the Grace corporation is £16,500,000, or double the amount of the Peruvian debt. Mr. M. P. Grace, brother of ex-Mayor Grace, of New York, who is now in London, organ ized the company. The first issue of bonds, amounting to £7,500,000, has all been sub scribed for, which indicates that the project will be a success. The kingdom of Servia is ruled by Prince Alexander 1., who is now in the 13th year of his age. He became king on the abdica ton of Milan, whoso quarrel with Queen Natalie was one of the scandals of Europe. Although he is a bright lad, and much care is being bestowed upon him, it is said that he has a tendency to emulate his father. He plays the American game of poker. TITE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. APRIL 20. 1890. Cotton Stalk Bagging. A dispatch ia the Morning News yes terday from Augusta stated that William E. Jackson, a lawyer of that city, had suc ceeded in perfecting a machine for making bagging from cotton stalks It also stated that tbe bagging, as a ooveriag for cotton, was in every respect equal to jute bagging. It is sincerely to be hoped that this infor mation is correct in every particular, and that cotton stalk bagging can be made so cheaply that it will take the place of both cotton and jute bagging as a covering for cotton. It has long bien known that the cotton stalk contained a strong fiber, and the suggestion that it should be utilized has been made frequently. The difficulty in the way of acting upon the suggestion, how ever, has been the impossibility of separat ing tbe fiber from other parts of tbe stalk at a cost that would permit of ia being used for commercial purposes. If Lawyer Jackson has removed this difficulty be has done something that will bring him tame and wealt h much sooner than he could reason ably expect to obtain them from his pro fession of the law. It would not be wise, however, to conclude that the next cotton crop, or the one suc ceeding it. or, in fact, any cotton crop, is going to be covered with cotton stalk bag ging, until a good deal more is known about Lawyer Jackson's machine than is known at present, notwithstanding the assertion that “cotton circles in Augusta are jubilant” over it. We hope Augusta’s cotton circles have good reason to be jubilant, and that Lawyer Jackson's machine will be even a greater triumph of mechanical genius than it is alleged to be, but it must not be forgotten that it has not been very long since half a dozen or more jute machines were thrust upon the attention of the public with the information that thev would make the cultivation of jute in the south extremely profitable. It is unnecessary to inquire whether or not those machines did what it was claimed they would. It is suffi cient to say that nobody in the south, or anywhere else in this country, is raising jute as a crop. It may be, however, that Lawyer Jack son has a really val lable invention. If he has, he can easily get al! the capital that would be necessary to build factories enough to supply ail the cotton s'alk bagging needed in the south. His factories, of course, would have to be pretty close to the cotton fields, because he could not afford to pay more than a ton for the stalks. It is evident that they could not bear transpor tation for a long distance. In fact, the farm ers would not find much profit in gathering them at the price named. Before discuss ing the cost of the raw material, however, it would be well to wait for more definite information about Lawyer Jackson’s ma chine. It might not be necessary to discuss the question of the cost of raw material at all. Scant Courtesy Shown the South. The southern cities which made extensive preparations for receiving and entertaining the delegates to the pan- American congress were greatly disappointed doubtless at tbe decision of the delegates not to accept their hospitalities. The most of the delegates must have known several weeks betore the adjournment of the congress that they would not be able to visit the South, and as they knew that preparations were being made for their entertainment, it would have been an act of courtesy to those who expected to entertain them to have announced that their plans would not permit them to make a tour of tbe south. In all the southern cities included in the programme of the tour considerable time and money were spent in making arrange ments for the pleasure of their expected guests. It was the intention to make the southern tour an enjoyable one in every respect, and it is certain that the delegates would not have been disappointed. The excuse given for abandoning the tour, while it is satisfactory, doubtless, to the delegates, is not satisfactory to those who were devising ways and means to give them pleasure. They said that they were tired of the country and wanted to get home. They were conscious of that feeling, doubtless, when the southern tour was de cided upon, and it would have been an easy matter then to have consulted together and expressed a wish that no further prepara tions for their entertainment should be made. However, there is not so much reason to find fault with them as there is with Mr. Blaine, because they were not aware prob ably that in the southern cities they were expected to visit no efforts would be spared to give them a hearty welcome. But Mr. Blaine must have known that if there was any doubt about the tour being made it was but fair to the southern cities that the fact should have been announced at once. It is worthy of notice that the trip through the north and west was taken when the delegates were fresh from their homos, and were eager to see the country. The south was given the cold shoulder. It was thought that it would be time enough to visit the south after the congress had adjourned. Mr. Blaine, if he thought about the matter at all, must hive been pretty well satisfied that after the delegates got through with the business which called them together they would be anxious to get back to their homes as soon as possible. It is said that Mr. Blaine is very sorry that the southern trip came to such a sudden termination. It may be that ho was, but it is pretty certain that he was responsible to a very great degree for its failure. About a year ago Secretary Wiudom de cided that imported woolens and worsteds should pay the same duties. This ruling was made in response to the interpretatiofcs placed upon the law by the worsted man ufacturers of Philadelphia, New York and New England. The importers paid th* duties demanded under protest, and they have just gained a verdict from the circuit court at New York, which sustains their protest, and directs the government to pay back the sums paid by these importers in excess of the legal duties. The manufact urers have waited upon Mr. McKinley and other members of the ways and means com mittee, asking for a joint resolution sus pending the operation of the decision. Artesian water to supply the arid regions of the west has been the dream of the oldest pioneers of the plains. The soil of the plateau regions of the Pacific slope is rich, and only needs water to produce abund dantiy. An irrigation bureau has been or ganized under the management of the agri cultural department, with Col. Richard J. Hunter in charge, to investigate the artesian well supply of the arid region of the west. A full corps of scientists has been appointed. The examination is to extend from Colorado to Western Kansas and Western Texas. The reports are expected in by June 15. PESSOXAL. Charles Hoovee at Cniontowii.

The Mesmeric Influence. “It is surprising the amount of mesmeric in fluence some men possess," remarked an ex pert bookkeeper to a Detroit Tribune writer. “Some, time ago in New York I had to go over the books of a firm that had dissolved to straighten out matters. When I started the balance-sheet showed $25,000 in favor of part ner No. 1. Weii, for daps and days we worked on the books. It was the most tiresome work I ever undertook. Partner No. 1 was a remarks ble man, persuasive and affable in demeanor. Sometimes he would come in to go over some of the figures with me. ‘These are not right,' he would say. I knew they were and woujd say so. Then ne would start to argue with me, and I felt myself giving way. Finally I would have to leave the room. In the hall I would walk up and down, saying to myself: ‘You're a fooL \ou know vour figures are right. - When he had departed I would recover and be able to go on. But all the while I felt the man’s subtle influence, I struggled against it. ‘Do yonr duty.' I kept saying to myself. “Finally when I reached the result, I turned pale. Partner No. 1 was short $150,000. He came in. ‘Well?'he said. 'There is the result,' I answered. He looked at it and never winced. ‘You are sure the figures are right?" ‘Yes.’ I said. I struggled desperately, and th’s time he was not able to conquer me. ‘Wei!,’ he said, ‘if those figures are correct the money will be paid.’ “And he did pay it, every cent, although it took all he had. You would be astonished to know who that man was. I attribute his mar velous success to his magnetic personality. Every one with whom he comes in contact feels it. He associates with many men in great undertakings, but he always gets tbo kernels while t hey get the shells, and moreover, everything is done as per contract. Year by year I watch this man’s career with added sur prise, andalwavs congratulate mvself that I was able to withstand him. He is the only man I ever met who could for the time being make me doubt my mathematical accuracy.” Facts About Feet. “Girls between the ages of 16 and 18,“ says a fashionable shoemaker in the Chicago Journal, “have often enormous feet, and the flesh is fat and inflamed, but at 2c years these enlarge ments entirely subside, the muscles ana tendons and all the flesh parts of the foot become firmer, the stt&pe of tne foot has decreased, and in every way a uifference is seen. Shoemakers have much aifiicuuy with young ladies at tins age, as they take as large a saoe as an adult w oman. When tney get older and their feet settle, and new shoes are made on the old last, they Complain of taem being too large. Ex planations have to be made when shoes tor the girl of 1& are charged for at the same price as her mother's. It nas to be demonstrated that as muen material and workmanship is put into one as the other. Among men irom 30 to 32 years of age the teet lengthen in a very oer eeptible manner. At this age three-fourths of tne customers complain that the recently made pair of shoes were snorter than the last. Feet sometimes lengthen nearly half an inch.” Cutting a Swell. FVo m the Boston Courier. A fashion plate, he w alfcs the street. His shallow' headlined with conceit And brass, as well; One role in life be aims to play. It brightens up his little day To cut a sw ell. The men to whom the dandy's known, Who'd fain acquaintanceship disown, Tne truth to tell; When er they meet him, pass him by, And thus their willingness imply To cut a swell. The footpad who assails the dude And leaves the marks of treatment rude Doth much rebel. Because the law’s decrees prevail And it doth cost a term in jail To cut a swell. No Traces of Grist Frederick Gebhard has been seen about on foot a good deal of late, says the New York Sun. He was formerly to be seen only when flying up and down Fifth avenue in his coupe or private hansom. Now he takes long walks daily, and the reason is to be found in his in crease in weight. When he was traveling around the country writh the I-angtry company he was forced to take a good deal of exercise, and the life of repose which he recently entered upon is beginning to swell bis formerly rather s ini proportions. There are no traces of sor row or grief in bis demeanor, despite the con tinued absence of tne Lily. medical.
