CHE NEWS. TOCCOA, GEORGIA. The production of petroleum in the United States is on the decrease. No doubt can exist, records the Cin¬ cinnati Enquirer, that a revival of ship¬ building is taking place to some extent in this country. The postoffice at Mhieral Point, CoL, 12,000 feet above the sea level, Is the highest postoffice in tbe country. But tbe postmaster says his salary is about the lowest. In Germany bee keeping is taught in many of tbe public schools and the Gov¬ ernment also provides instructors in the art, who go from town to town as their services are needed. Down at Panama coffins are hired, and graves too. The latter cost $12 for eighteen months, and in case of non¬ payment the body is thrown out of the grave. Coffins can be hired for $7. The number of students who are study¬ ing in the five law colleges in Tokio, Japan, at present is upward of 28,000, showing an increase of about 1000 in comparison with the same period last year. The Jacksonville Times-Union notes an order from Baris to a Florida grower for several boxes of oranges. The citrus fruitB of this country can compete with the Mediterranean fruits in their own territory. Death by decapitation is still recorn- mended by the French medical jurists. In all other procedures, says Dr. Loye, a famous scientist, and in death by elec¬ tricity in particular, the simulation of death is possible. A big struggle ten years ago, with re¬ sults of such a sweeping character that a partial disarmament could have fol¬ lowed, would have been infinitely cheaper and better for Europe, avers the New ^ork 'Times,, than this long nightmare of dread and ruinous preparation. Tt is estimated that tbe present popu lation of the United States is 64,000,000. The total increase is said to be 100,000 a month, exclusive of immigration, and last year the increase by immigration was .)18,000. At this rate the next cen- bus, which will be taken in 1890, will show about 67,000,000. What we want mostly, in the opinion of tlie New 1 ork Times, is not so much au extended market for disposing of OU) surplus cro pi, but cheaper methods ol production. If our vast crop of corn can be grown one cent a bushel cheaper than it now is we should save $ 20 000 000, the value , ,. or of 50,000,000 bushels of grain. It is suggested that as “Pa.” is somo- times used as au abbreviation of Penn¬ sylvania, “Ma.” might be used as an ab¬ breviation for Montana. A good abbre¬ viation for the State of Washington—if it retaius that name—will be hard to find; for the obvious “Wash.” is too sugges¬ tive of a laundry to be considered for a moinont. This fact alone, declares the New I ork Triinm ", ought to rule out that unme for the new State. Au incident occurred at Queen Vic¬ toria’s last drawing-room which has ex¬ cited a great deal of comment. As W. H. White, Secretary of the American Legation, approached her Majesty a por¬ tion of her head dress, including the diminutive crown she wore, fell to the floor. b or a full minute no one seemed to know w’hat to do. The ornament was finally replaced, but the superstitious ones seemed to regard it as a bad omen. Which of our great men is it that says nothing is ever lost or can be lost? The saying finds a notable exemplification in the b:g mills of George Sibley, at Salem, Mass., where new cotton rags and rem- nants are cut up into all manner of stay¬ ing, lining, binding, tips and so on, for use of other artisans. Buffs, that is, long cylinders of round pieces strung together and used for polishing brass, gold or silver goods, are also turned out by the firm. Judge Blodgett’s late decision that au employer is not responsible for the negli¬ gence or incompetency of an employe, unless the person injured by such negli¬ gence or incompetence gives written notice of suit inside of thirty days from date of injury will, if sustained, pre¬ dicts the New York Commercial Adver¬ tiser, work a mighty upsetting of the old common law doctrine, that he who does a thing by the agency of another person does it by himself. The total tobacco consumption of Eu¬ rope, according to the Uhlands Woch-n- s.'hrijt , is about 2} pounds by each in¬ habitant. Iu the Netherlands the pro- portion is a littie over seven pounds to each inhabitant, in Austria-Hungary, 3.8 pounds; in Germany, 3 pounds; in France. 2.1 pounds; in Great Britain and Ireland, 1.34 pounds; in Italy, 1.25 pounds, and in Russia, 1.2 pounds. In the United States the proportion is said to be 4 j pounds per inhabitant. In the Blockley almshouse at Phila¬ delphia may be seen on sunny days, warming himself in a sheltered corner, a decrepit, miserable old man, who once lived on the Isle of Jersey, in the Eng¬ lish channel. There many a time Mrs. Langtry, the “Jersey Lily,” sat upon hit knee and \ ictor Hugo lingered by nis side in close and brilliant chat. Lord Tennyson has shaken his hands and the richest neighbor has deferentially re¬ moved his hat. So the world goea. SOUTHERN BRANCHES, LOPPED BE RE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE.

There is rejoicing at Birmingham among the white Republican Protective Tariff League, over the announcement that R. L. Houston had been appointed postmaster. Houston is about twenty- five years old, and is a prominent young business man.

The managers of the enterprise now want to raise it to $50,000 and com- mence operations at once. Capt. Wilder, of the steamship City of San Antonio, arrived atBrunswick,ana re- dismasted ports seeing a three-masted schooner and waterlogged about forty miles northeast of Frying Pan Shoals. The first fruits of the work of detec- tives recently appointed by the Atlanta authorities, is the arrest of several col- ored boys and the recovery of over 50 tine overcoats. Soloshin, a pawnbroker, who is charged with being a receiver, is under arrest as well. Some of the new detectives are said to be colored men. In Houston superior court, Henrietta and Kate Allen, colored, were tried joint¬ ly for an attempt to murder by poison¬ ing. The former was convicted and sentenced for five years. The jury made a mistrial in the case of the latter. The poisoniug was by putting arsenic in cof¬ fee, at the residence of S. F. Dasher,and two persons, Mr. Dasher, brothei and an employe on the place, came near losing their lives. The colored population of Augusta is stirred up about Rev. J. W. Dungee, of the Union Baptist church who brought of to Augusta Mrs. H. E. A.Uen, colored, Oberlin, O-., a music teacher, to orgafiiie a music class among the colored people of Augusta. In his remained home he re¬ ceived her, and there she until about three Weeks ago, when she preferred charges before the deacons against Rev. Dungee. Rev. J. W. Dun- gee came to Augusta about two years ago, and has proved himself a zealous worker for his church and congregation, lie is ambitious for the advancement of his race, but is said to display at times in religious matters a spirit of intoler¬ ance. At a meeting in Atlanta, on Tues¬ day, of the subscribers for the Con¬ federate Home, the following di¬ rectors were chosen: From Atlanta— H. W. Grady, M. C. Kiser, S. M. Inman, W. L. Calhoun, W. A.

Towers, Rome; Richard Hobbs, Al¬ bany; A. M. Foute, Cartersville; M. T. Smith, Buford. “Put down Henry W. Grady, Jr., for $25,” said Mr. Grady. “I did that so I would be entitled to a speech. Gen. Lewis is bfire, as gallant a soldier as there was in the Federal armies. Let’s hear from him.” Gen. Lewis was called for and applauded as he arose. “This movement,” 6aid he, “has had, from first to last, my hearty concurrence. As a man that is here now to stay, a Goorgian, I can assure you that every true Union soldier will couut it a privilege to stand shoulder to shoul¬ der with you in a cause like this.” [Prolonged applause. ] NORTH CAROLINA. The funeral of Mrs. Toeodore B. Ly¬ man, wife of the Protestant Episcopal bishop were held at Raleigh on Monday. Her body was taken to Baltimore, Md., for burial. Very heavy rains fell Monday, and came in time to prevent more damage hid ord. It is estimated that an area of one hundred miles has been burned orer. Tbe losses of private property are large, landj while some of the finest turpentine are ruined for years. The rain proved of great value to .he crops, and was needed in all parts of the state. NOLTH CAROLINA. The long and bitter contest between the medical school and the medical col¬ lege for the control of the Charleston hospital was settled by the City Council on Tuesday. The Council, by a vote of 12 to 9, decided to renew the contract with the medical college until March, 1892. Governor Richardson pardoned on Monday, Williams and Hayward, the negroes who were convicted of lynch¬ ing a half-witted white man named Manse Waldrop at the last term of court, for Pickens county, From the day after the conviction the governor determined not to allow the men to be hanged. He was undecided whether to grant a full pardon, but finally decided to do so. The petition asking for the pardon of these men is probably the largest ever presented to the governor of South Carolina. There were fifty-two separate petitions signed by nearly 4,000 persons, mostly white. TENNESSEE. The Southern Stove Manufacturers As¬ sociation held a meeting in Chattanooga on Wednesday.

The London Standard's Vienna corres¬ pondent says: ‘‘Sugar again rose on trade Wednesday. The Prague and Austrian journals declare that the rise is due to scarcity and the prospect abolishing of bounties, an inter¬ national convention but it is believed that the chief cause is the existence of an international sugar trust on the American model.” A bla&t fired Wednesday at the Ma- sonic Temple excavation, in the heart of Duluth, Minn., revealed a vein of copper bearing rock of exceeding richness.. extend only The vein was at first thought to a short distance and to contain only a few pounds of rock that would assay 65 that per cent, of copper, but was found later it is much more extensive, and it is con- sidered a rich and valuable find, At But i ert p a>> James Field* was fatally shot by his wife.

James Tanner, the new commissioner of pensions, has made a decision which will place 20,000 new colored pensioners on the rolls. It was brought about by a petition from a negro mother. She and her son had been slaves owned by the same master. The son escaped, en* listed in the Federal army and was killed. After the War the mother claimed a pension because her sou had been killed in the War. The sum ex¬ pended in the payment be of these pensions build¬ will in the long run utilized in ing up the South. The President made the following ap¬ pointments : Robert P. Porter, of New York, to be superintendent of census; William H. Calkins, associate of Washington justice of Ter¬ ritory, to be the supreme court of the territory of Washing¬ ton; John B. Donnelly, of Louisiana, to be marshal of the United States for the Eastern district of Louisiana. Robert P. Porter, the new superintendent of the census, is an Englishman by birth, but has lived in this country for many years, and is a naturalized citizen. About the most uncomfortable lot of employes in the service of the govern¬ ment at Washington are those in the Indian bureau.- When Mr. Adkins was appointed to be commissioner of Indian affairs and Mr. Upshur who, like Mr. Adams, is from Tennessee, was named as his assistant, there was great rejoicing in that state, and many Tennesseans got fat jabs. The new commissioner of In¬ dian affairs is an old employe of the Interior Department, and knows all about the preponderance of Tennessee people under him. He says he will get rid of the Tennessee surplus at no re¬ mote day.

The order was sent on Tuesday, to the department of public works. One of the inspectors was on hand with a corps of axmen, expect- ing the war signal. Before eleven o’clock tbe poles at Fourteenth street and Union Square were being cut down. Hundreds of people quickly gathered to witness the novel sight of men cutting down tele- graph poles. Two gangs, one on each side of the street, attacked the poles, Another company of strong-armed wood- choppers Sixth made an attack on the poles on Avenue. They commenced on both sides of the avenue at Twenty-Third street, and leveled to the ground all poles on the avenue as far as Fifty-eighth street. The mayor sent to the commis- sioner of public works a letter notifying him of the poles and wires that were to come down. Broadway was fairly well lit up with gas, but it was pale. The only relief to the absolute gloom of Madison an<| Union squares, were the lights flicker in lit the surrounding streets. Not a the darkness within the parks. It was a strange scene and the talk of the town. It was an object of interest, which drew many spectators to the spot to see the transformation. LOCAL OPTION. __ The Davis local option bill passed the Delaware House on Tuesday by a party vote of 14 to 6.

She caught the Oklahoma fever from her father and left a Kansas district school, in which she was teaching, to join him. He had built a neat little frame building in Crutch county, near Oklahoma City, to receive her; but the day before her ar¬ rival the Indian scouts discovered and burned it. The old man met her with tears in his eyes and related his misfort¬ une. With true western grit the girl immediately set to work to build a dug- out, well concealed in the woods. Bruce was driven out of Oklahoma, but she was not found and remained for months in her home, surrounded by her chickens. Pretty and dashing, she was the idol of the boomers, and death would be the portion of the man who treated her with disrespect. raid Before Lieut. Carson’s last Nellie fled, and, returning to Kan¬ schoolmates—mostly sas, gathered around her quite a party of sohoolmarms. She intends to lead them into Oklahoma. She has a claim near her own picked out for 1 each, and they will thus form quite a community. Another interesting woman, Nannitta Daisy, arrived on the ground Tuesday. Her home is in Louisville, Ky., where she was employed upon daily * papers as special correspondent. She was Kentucky, an applicant for state librarian in but was beaten by only one vote. Chagrined at this defeat, she tried Washington, end became well-known there for her wit and eccentricity. Se- curing the recommendation of the Ken- tucky she delegation and several senators, school was in given the charge of a government territory. There she be* came interested in Oklahoma and wrote descriptive letters of the country for the eastern press. On one of the finest claims in the North Canadian valley waves a flag Daisy’s bearing the following: “This is Nannita claim; look out!” “Will you risk living there by yourself ?” was asked her. “Will I?” she replied, and she laid on the table before her a brace of beauti- medals, ful ivory-handled revolvers and two gold received at shooting tourna- I ments. “Willi?” Well, I should say so.” IMITATING “JACK.” Capt.
