According to law a majority of the property owners in the block must endorse an application for a saloon license before it can be grant ed. Mr. Morton owns a big chunk of the block, and John It. Lane, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, owns the corner on Fifteenth and I streets. One or two other owners also endorsed Mr. Morton’s application, but not a major ity of the block, and in consequence the commissioner refused to approve Mr. Morton’s application. In making his application, Mr. Morton declared that he would not allow any noisy, dis orderly or suspicious characters to congregate in his saloon; that ho had not sold liquor to any minor, drunk ard, soldier, volunteer, gaffibler, etc.', during tho past year. The law says that the. approval of the application for license to sell li quors must piecedo the opening of places where such are sold. Mr.Mor- ton’s application for a saloon license has not yet been approved, but bis saloon is running at full blast. Says a dispatch from Helena, Ark: A recent experiment made by a gen tleman of this city has demonstrated that tho growers of cotton have kith- to wasted a very valuable and impor tant part of tho cotton plant. Major John J. Horner, thinking that there could be some use made of tho cotton stalk, gathered about ten pounds of tho material and sent it to a factory in New York to be operated on in tho same manner os flax and hemp. A few days ago he received from there the results of his experiment, which, if the material can be extracted cheaply, will result in incalculable good to the cotton growing states. There were returned to him about twenty different grades of fibrous material, from course strands of the stalk to the glossy fibre as soft ns silk. Persons ore now engaged in perfect ing a machine that will spin the ma terial. There is no doubt but that ! the fihre of the stalk is sufficiently strong to make tho best of bagging, as well as cloth as fine as linen. This 1 material was extricated from the stalk by an electrical procoss in about six hours. - I — ! I The congregation of the Mulberry i street Methodist church at Macon, ' have long cherished the idea and i plan of erecting a handsome church building on the hill qqar tho Wes leyan female college, as a large part of the congregation live in that 1 vicinity and near Vineville, and * could be much more accessible to the ! church than'where it now is on Mul- ^ It seems, however, Line to be formed on Madison street, opposite'Stuart House.

We are very busy and havn’t time to say much about them in this issue, but will be sure to please you if you will give us a call. Respectfully, The “Year of Confusion.” Tho year 46 B. C., was tho “Year of Confusion.” In order to adjust tho yenr according to the course of tho sun, and to assign to each month the number of days, it should contain, Julius Ctcsnr abolished the use of the “intercalations,” or days which wero occasionally inserted in tho calendar at that time. To make everything proceed regularly from the 1st of the ensuing January, he inserted iq the current year, besides the intercalary month of twenty-threo days, which fell into it, two extraordinary months between November and December, the one Of thirty three and the other of forty-four days, so that this year consisted of fifteen months, or 445 days. It may bo here noted that some historians consider 47 B. C., to have beon the “Year of Confusion. 1 ' Where the Day Begins. According to the way in which this arrangement is now carried out, says a writer in Chamber's Journal, the first land that the new day dawns upon, is eastcr island, about 230 miles west of the coast of Chili, South Amer ica. That Is to say, the and of July breaks here within a few houre of the 1st, having broken on the American coast to the east, and the two days run on alongside—the and in Easter Island and places west, the 1st in all places on the American continent. We inky, therefore, realize this idea ; that at 7: ao o’clock any morning of our lives in Great Britiao, the next day is commencing in the world, and is to be found at this little island on the Pacific ocean, whence, in due course, it will travel around to us. But to have thus the start of the world is not an mitigated advantage to these island- ders. Suppose one of them sails east to America, what is the result? He will find that they keep the day there under a different date, and he will have to reckon one day in his calendar twice over to put himselt right with their notions. On the other hand, if and American crosses from east to west this wonderful magic line where the day begins, he will find that the dates in this fresh part of the world are on the advance of him, and he must needs strike a day out of bis calendar to keep up with the times. This fact was curiously illustrated in the case of Magellan, the Portugese captain who sailed around the world from east to west in 152a, and having Ancient History. Judas died in the horrors of a loath some suicide; Caiphas was deposed the year following; Herod died in in famy and exile. Stripped of his pro. curatorship very shortly afterwards on the very charges he had tried by a wicked concession to avoid, Pilate, wearied out by misfortunes, died in suicide and banishment, leaving be hind him an execrated name. The house of Annas was destroyed a gen eration later by an infuriated mob, and his son was dragged through the streets, and scourged and beaten, to his place of murder. Some ol those who shared in aod witnessed the sceucs of that day, and thousands of their children, also shared in and witnessed the long horrors of that siege of Jerusalem, which stands un paralleled in history for its unuttera ble fearfullness. The Philadelphia health authori ties have about decided to establish a crematory in which to burn the bodies of the city poor. It may be better to burn than to bury them—in all prob ability is—but we predlot that the said authorities will find themselves in trouble when they attempt to car- ry their plans into operation. There is a deep seated prejudice againBt cremation, and there will be plenty of people who will want to know why the poor are burned while the rich are buried. -Farrar. Combination of Change for a Quarter. Some one has taken the time and trouble to figure out the various com- binadons of coins that might be used in changing a quarter, and places them at a 15. The pieces used in making the changes are the ao-cent piece, 10-cent piece, s-cent piece, 3- cent piece, a-cent piece, and i-cent piece. To be able to make all the changes would require one ao-cent piece, two 10-cent pieces, five 5-cert pieces, eight 3-cent pieces, twelve a- cent pieces, and twenty-five x-cent pieces, making in all fifty-three pieces of money, representing $1.38. 132 BROAD ST. There j? a man In South Carolina who has been engaged for two years or more, in tests for manufacturing cotton bagging from the bark of the cotton stalk, and it is believed' that his efforts will prove successful. We have seen a sample of the fibre that had been prepared for the loom, and it was believed to be equal to jute in every particular, and it is claimed that all the bagging necessary to en close the crop can readily be obtained at a cost not exceeding 6 cents per ;;ard. A syndicate is now being crossed the magic line of “day’s birth,” in his wanderings, his calendar be came, of course, a day in arrear. The sai’ors were perfectly ignorant of this, and, finding on landing at home, that their Sabbath was falling on a Mon day, they accused one an other of tampering with the reckoning. It was not for some time that the true and simple explanation foir the wonderful ?05»«f time was discovered. berry street, that this plan has collapsed, and that part of tho congregation residing in Vineville, expect to withdraw from the Mulberry street church, and A slip of the foot may be soon re covered; but that of the tongue per haps never.
