©KAY, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1888-
The village of Haverstrasv, on the
Hudson, manufactures more bricks than
any other place in the world.
Spain celebrated the sailing of the in
vincible Armada as well as England.
The Spanish claim that the fleet was
simply a fishing excursion.
A punctilious French highway robber
jtooped to apologize to his victim, and
the victim noticed the fact that he was
bow-legged. He gave the police this
pointer aud the right man was soon in
limbo.
“A native author called Roe,” was
Matthew Arnold’s sneering allusion to
to the novelist who so soon followed the
English litterateur to the grave. E. P.
Roe accepted the designation and wrote
an autobiographical sketch under that
heading, which was completed only a
few days before his death.
There is in Lake County, Mich., a co
operative telegraph line, which began
by two farmers connecting their house*
with a wire, and which has extended,un
til now it has sixty -five miles of wire
and ninety offices, two-thirds of which
are in farmhouses and the others in
stores where farmers trade.
The er-Confedorate colony in New
York continues to grow, At almost
every social gathering may be seen one
or two men who won the title of general
when they wore the gray. She Southern
society, started a short time ago, now
has a member.-hip of hundreds, and will
soon have a building of its own.
The Portuguese Government has
bought out the tobacco manufacturing
companies of that country, so that the
production of tobacco will henceforth be
a Government concern. There will
probably be no Cigarmakers’ Union
there now, but the workers will get a
pension when too old to work, as is
case in the French Government -.tobacco
system. \

does not characterize the journcyings of
President Carnot, of France, in the prov
inces. What with a considerable ret
inue, generous dinners to the digni
taries of the towns which tender him
hospitality, and gifts to the poor, he is
said to do full justice to the annual ap
propriation of $00,000 for traveling ex
pense3.
The mineral output of the country for
1887, according tc the statement made
by the Division of Mining Statistics, is
much-greater in valu3 than that of 1880,
and is worth $100,000,003 more than
that of 1885. This is a gratifying ex
hibit, but is unfortunately coupled with
the statement that there will be a de
crease in the metal product this year
owiug to the decline in railroad build
ing.
The French census reported 180 per
sons who were 100 years old or over, but
M. Levasseur, who has been investigating
the matter, reports to the Academy of
Sciences that sixty-seven of these were
only “believed” to be so by their rela
tives, and that there were only sixteen
who e age could be proven to be over
100 years by authentic documents. He
estimates that there are not over fifty
centenarians in the country.
Although the American clipper ships
are growing lc s in numbers their repu
tation as the fastest sailers on the globe
is by no means declining. The famous
clipper ship Henry Hyde, now at anchor
off Sandy hook, has really made the
voyage from San Francisco, a distance
of at least eleven thousand miles, in
eighty-nine days. Fine weather was
met with most of the passage. It took
but eighteen days to run from San Fran
cisco to the equator, thirty-three days
from there to Gape Horn, and thirty
eight days from the Falkland Islands to
Sandy Ilook. The Ilyde was built in
1884, at Bath Me., aud hails from New
York, where she is owned by Benjamin
Pendleton.
Russian is diliijently studied in Ger
many, and by a large number of people
in England likewise. At the Berlin
Military Academy it is obligatory, and it
is spoken a good deal in military circles
all over the country, There is m Ger
many a constant demand for Russian
speaking journalists, since all the prin
cipal newspapers keepa careful eye upon
Russian affairs. In the English army
special inducements are held out to
oTccisto learn Russian; and, according
to a 8t. Petersburg jourual, many young
English officers are so eager to learn the
S: seovite tongue that when they happe*
to be stationed in a town where no in
ifrcctor is to be ha 1, they spell out the
Ri)3sian Bible by the aid of a English
one.
