TOCCOA, GEORGIA.
Which is the greatest wool consuming
country in the world? It will surprise
some to learn that France heads the list
with a total of 190,000,000 kilograms
consumed in 1887, England coming next
with 180,000,000 kilograms, the United
States third with 170,000,000, Germany
fourth with 140,000,000, Russia fifth
with only 80,000,000, and Austria-Hun¬
gary, Belgium and Italy with 40,000,000,
40,000,000 and 32,000,000 respectively.
It is said, in the Pall Mall Gazette,
that each year fifteen people out of every
1000 marry. Of each 1000 men who
marry 861 are bachelors and 139 are
widowers, while of each 1000 women
only ninety-eight have been married be¬
fore, and 902 are Spinsters. Twelve
marriages out of every 100 are second
marriages. The average age at wliich
men marry is about twenty-seven, while
the average age at which women marry is
about twenty-five years.
The estimated cost of the projected
ship canal between Bordeaux, on the
Atlantic, and Narbonne on the Mediter¬
ranean, France, is $130,000,000. This
vast undertaking—comprising, as it does,
a length of some three hundred and thirty
miles, to save a voyage around Spain of
seven hundred miles—would have a depth
of twenty-seven feet, in order to allow of
the passage of heavy ironclads, and would
require thirty-eight locks. The plan also
contemplates a railway track alongside,
so that by means of locomotive towage a
speed of seven miles an hour could be
maintained by day, and also by night by
the aid of electric lights.
The American Consul at Acapulco as
serts that one of the reasons why tin
United States fails to successfully com¬
pete with Germany and England foi
the trade of Mexico is because oui
manufacturers and merchants insist upoi
endeavoring to sell by circular instead oi
by sample, and also because we disregard
the conservatism of Mexican buyers, who,
once accustomed to buying things made
in a certain way, cannot be induced to
change to another article, no matter how
superior it may be. In other words, hia
advice is to consult the prejudices of the
Mexicans and not attempt to impose
American tastes and ideas upSft a people
reluctant to accept them.
“England has given to the world nc
grander man than John Bright,” ob¬
serves the New York Voice, “and in his
death there is no country that is not a
sincere mourner. An orator without a
superior, a statesman without a trace of
the politician, a man in the fullest sense,
a simple, sincere Christian, his name has
been a tower of strength for every cause
of freedom, liberty, progress, for half a
century. Whether fighting the Corn
Laws, opposing the Egyptian War, or
separating from life-long associates and
honored friends on the question of Home
Rule for Ireland, he has ever acted in
simple obedience to the great principles
of justice and right as he understood
them. Personal comfort or reputation
has never influenced his actions. He
was anxious to do simply and solely what
was right.”
A communication from Washington
fitates that Captain Robert Platt, com¬
manding the United States Fish Com¬
mission’s steamer at Charlotte Harbor,
Fla., has successfully hatched 3,500,000
eggs of the sheepshead—the first instance
on record of artificial hatching of that
important food fish. The success of this
experiment will largely add to the useful¬
ness of the commission. Charlotte Har¬
bor and the little brackish streams and
and bayous emptying into it, tbe edges of
which are fringed with mangrove bushes,
has long been renowned for the immense
number of sheepshead to be found in'
them. The curved mangrove bushes
which dip into the water become encrusted
with young oysters, upon which these
fishes feed greedily at high tide, The
late Professor Agassiz, who visited Char¬
lotte Harbor a few years before his death,
stated at the time that, for its abundance
and variety of splendid food fishes, it sur¬
passed any spot that he had ever known.
Said an artillery officer recently: “I
think the popular craze for baseball is
likely to show good results in case this
country should b.e involved in war *gain.
I don t refer to the production of physical
giants by the game itself, though of course
that in its way is good for the race, but to
the wonderful training the eves of not
only players of baseball but of the spec¬
tators of the game also are receiving. In
a baseball game all the eyes of the multi¬
tude assembled and in the two nines are
constantly watching the course of the
ball. The players particularly learn to
calculate with infinite nicety the elevation
and striking point of the sphere. The
artillerymen at his piece is required to do
work of much the same sort as this with
his eyes. So when the artillery arm
of the army has to be recruited, in
case of war, I have no doubt that the base¬
ball player, and even the crankiest crank
from the bleaching boards, will show
special aptitude and eye training for the
service of artillery.”

8AMOAN AFFAIRS.
SHIPWRECKED SAILORS COMING HOME—
Will SUAWARROW WAS ANNEXED.
The shipwrecked officers and crews of
the United States men-of-war—Trent* n
and Vandalia—leave Apia, Samoa, on the
steamer Rockton for Mare Island navy
yard. The Rockton arrived there from
Sydney, and when she was first sighted
out8 j,j e 0 f th e harbor, the Trenton and
Vandalia sailors, who have been living
barracks on shore since the storm,
greeted her with of loud cheering. All ol
the survivors the Vandalia, including
g officers and 142 meo, and 12 officers
aud 300 men from the Trenton, were
sent aboard. Besides the admiral and
his staff, ten officers and seventy-five men
remain at Apia. The departure of the
shipwrecked sailors is greeted with a
feeling of relief, as Apia is not large
enough to accommodate such a number
of men without great confusion result¬
ing, and it lias been feared that sources
of illness might break out in the town
owing to the crowded quarters of the
men. An Associated Press correspond¬
ent had a short interview with Mataafa.
He said his people were greatly pleased
with the advice published in the admi¬
ral’s proclamation, which and felt very grateful had
for the interest the Americans
taken in their cause. The present war
was a great hardship to the country, and
the people wanted peace. They had no
desire to fight Tamasese or the Germans.
He said he would like to sec the Ameri¬
can government declare a protectorate
over the Samoans. He thought that was
the best way to avoid trouble, as the na¬
tives were continually fighting among
themselves, when consuls of the United
States, Germany and England had equal
power. The natives have succeeded in
recovering the safe, containing $15,000,
from the wreck of the German gunboat
Eber. Native divers are still at work on
the wreck of the Eber, making an effort
to save the guns. The battery and other
articles of value of the German cruiser
Adler were taken ashore some time ago.
The rudder for the Nipsic, which Admi¬
ral Kimberly had made under his per¬
sonal supervision, has been completed
and placed in position, and it is probable
that the Nipsic will start for Auckland
as soon as the Alert arrives. The British
man-of-war Rapid, which left Apia ten
days ago, returned. Her captain re¬
ported upon his return that he had been
to Suawarrow, a small island about 400
miles east of Samoa. He stated that the
island was occupied several years ago by
a resident of Auckland for the purpose
of raising cocoanuts, and that at the lat-
tei’s request the Rapid had gone there
and raised the B:itish flag and formally
annexed the island as a part of the Brit¬
ish posssseions.
ELECTRIC EXPRESS.
AN INVENTION WUICII PROPELS A CAN
RIAGE TWO HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR.
A new scheme of transportation is tc
be introduced between New York and
Boston, whereby large packages of mail
and even cars containing passengers, can
be whisked from one place to another,
a distance of 200 miles, in less than an
hour. This would be equal to a speed ol
four miles per minute. An experiment
with the new machine was held in Bos¬
ton in the presence of many scientists,
including Prof. A. E. Dolbear, of Tufts
college, who announced that he was
thoroughly satisfied of the success of the
system. The machine consists of a mag¬
netic car hanging from a single rail,
where it follows a streak of electricity.
With one horse power it is said that one
ton can be thus transported a distance of
1,440 miles a day at a cost of thirty
cents. This, in mail matter, would rep¬
resent 2,880,000 letters, and by this sys¬
tem packages of mail could be sent off
every five minutes if necessary, thus pre¬
venting large accumulations. The sin¬
gle track is to be carried on tri¬
pods some distance above the ground,
and the car will pass through coils of in¬
sulated wire at intervals. In the experi¬
ments the carriage exhibited was mount¬
ed on a wooden track, on posts about
three feet high, with an ascent of six
inches in fifty feet, and it ran on one
wheel at each end. The scientific prin¬
ciple involved is said to be that by which
a hollow coil of insulated wire will draw a
magnet into itself, and in the aerial rail¬
way the car passing through a coil cuts
off the current, which goes on to one
ahead.
CHICAGOS INSANE.
THEY ARE TREATED SRUTALLY IN THE
ASYLUM—BOODLERISM RULES SUPREME.
At the inquiry as to the state of affairs
at the Cook county insane asylum at Chi¬
cago, Ill., on Wednesday, Dr. Clevenger,
formerly a member of the medical staff,
testified, that it was impossible for a rep¬
utable practitioner disreputable or attendant to stay
there. The most ones were
the ones to stay, because they devoted
more time to intrigue. Disreputable ones
practiced a system of elimination of the
better element by either physical violence
or other means. “In 1856,” said he,
“physicians who secured bodies at the
asylum for dissection, told me the bodies
were so covered with vermin that they
had to be scorched before being put on
the dissecting table. Once, in 1885, I
heard the screams of pain, and running
from my office, found two attendants
standing over a patient, named Hertz-
berg, who was bleeding profusely. I
knew there was no use in making any
complaint, as the attendants were sup¬
ported by John Cumming’s influence in
the cojin ty board. Soon after they re¬
belled and refused to obey my orders.
They secreted the bodies on which I de¬
sired to hold post-mortem examinations,
and I could not get them for two or
three days after they were buried.
I published a statement, and the
following night one of the attend¬
ants called me a vile name,
and a few moments later a shot was fired
down stairs. The bullet crashed through
the floor and lodged into my bookcase.”
“What is the matter with the institution
now?” was asked. “It is under the in¬
fluence of boodlerism.”-
BISMARCK WILL STRIKE.
The “scene” in the German Reichstag
between Prince Bismarck aud Herr Rich¬
ter is the sole topic of conversation in
political circles. In consequence of
Prince Bismarck’s remarks, the liberals
have resolved not to attend the fruin-
schoplien to be given by the chancellor.
When Herr Richter uttered the exclama¬
tion which aroused the wrath of the
chancellor, the latter, turning angrily
toward the liberal members, and
pointing his finger at them, saidl
“I do not know what he refers to. but I
regard it as an expression of hatred. You
gentlemen have borne me for years. As
a Christian, I can pocket it, but as chan- will
tcellor, as long as I stand here, I
trike a striker and insult an insulter.”

SOUTHERN POLICY
THE FARMERS ARE UNANIMOUS IN THU
CHOICE OF COTTON FOR WRAPPING.
A correspondent had a special inter¬
view with L. L. Polk, vice-president oi
the National Farmers’ Alliauce, who re¬
turned to Raleigh, N. C., from th« con¬
ference of the Alliance and the Wheel at
there Birmingham, Ala. Col. Polk says that
was which some things done at the confe¬
rence, have not until now been
made public. The re-ult of the
conference was that the Alliance has for¬
mally declared that it would use only
bagging made of cotton to cover cotton
bales. It was also decided to give spe¬
cial notice to all members of the Alli¬
ance to sell no cotton seed, of the pre¬
sent crop, for less than twenty cents per
bushel, and not to make any contracts
for the sale of any cotton seed of the
coming This crop until advised to do so.
is directed at the cotton oil trust.
The third matter which was arranged
was for the supplying of all Alliances
with school books and stationery at spe¬
cial prices. It was discovered that there
is a trust composed of book publishers
aud dealers, and this action was an at¬
tack upon this particular combination,
which, it wa3 found, was putting a big
profit upon its goods. Col. Polk says it
has been stated that the vote on use oi
cotton as a covering for cotton was not
unanimous. He says this is false. Upon
a call of the states, each delegate voted
for it, and afterwards, to make the de¬
cision more emphatic, the convention, as
a whole, voted for it unanimously in a
rising vote, amid much enthusiasm. This
is not an act of resentment, prompted by
a feeling of anger on the part of the Al¬
liance, but it is (he laying of a founda¬
tion of a sys'em of manufactures which
will utilize Southern textiles, Southern
capital and energy, and Southern nulls,
operated by Southern men. The action
of the bagging trust in jumping upon
the Alliance has opened the eves of the
Southern faimers. There will be an am¬
ple supply of bagging for the use of the
million members of the Alliance, and
whatever affects that great order affects
all the other farmers. All these matters
were thoroughly discussed, and it was
found, after the most careful investiga¬
tion, that it will pay to use
cotton as a covering, It is the
the greatest South, movement and ever inaugurated in
sold no trust baggage will be
or even handled. *The cotton is the
cheapest textile, and the conference did
not arrive at its definite conclusion until
it was satisfied that it was the true pol¬
icy to utilize it for this specific purpose.

WHISKEY’S EFFECTS.
Barry Koehler, while crazy with drink,
ran amuck through the streets of Joilet,
Ill. In his course he shot and seriously
wounded a young lady, Miss Della Hart.
A cioivd gathered and began search for
him among some freight cars. Just then
a freight train moved past and at the
open door of one car a man was seen.
The crowd called out that it was Koeh¬
ler aud an excited policeman fired at
him, inflicting a fatal wound in the head.
Then it was discovered that the wound¬
ed man was not Koehler, but William
Hansen, of Chicago, on his way to
Oklahoma, and Koehler was captured
the next morning.
