It is saiil that hookings arc al

is evident that the population is

The Uuitcau trial has cost the
government ahont two hundred
thousand dollars. It is expensive
fun, lint it tickles the vanity of the
assassin and adonis daily amuse
ment to the swell mob of Wash
ington.
The lunging of Uuitcau cannot
be an immediate matter, as most
people seem to think. Under the
ia'V he cannot lie hanged until thirty
clays after the opening of the next
term of the court. This will not
lie until the 4th of April, and there
fore the date of U uitcau’s execution
cannot possibly take place until
the 4th of May.

AND THAT IS NOT THE REST OF IT,
Mrs. M. T, Elam’s
There are, says the I.ouisvillc
Democrat, social and political
tendencies in this country which
arc leading to a rapid increase of
divorces ami to the accumulation
of wealth in the hands of a few very
rich persons and a fabulous number
of corporations. Certainly no one
fails to see these untoward tend
encies, and yet there is not visible
any considerable alarm: no threat
of revolution in sell'-dcfencc. The
scramble to gratly the lust of the
eye, the appetite of the llesli, a
raging thirst for jwealtli, goes on
ward at a whirling pace, and those
who do not lose their heads and
sere theircoiiseieiicc^cither sink in
to despair or lift up unavailing
warnings. Kvery spasmodic effort
at “reform” takes the case by the
ear or the strap of the bool.
All previous novelties in powder
magazine explosions use outdone
by three Iowa lads who used the
side of the Osktdoosa magazine
as a target for rife practice, and
when !>00 kegs blew up were shat
tered to pieces. The damage to
the city is very great, according to
the latest accounts, most of its
houses in its northern part being
badly wrecked. It lurthcr appears
that tin? three dead hoys were all
of prominent families, one of them
being the son of the Mayor. This
part of Hie story is comprehensi
ble. When the prominent men of
a city allow ouch a quantity of
powder to be stored in a wooden
building close enough to make
the total wrecking of a great
part of the city the sure re
sult of an expulsion, the prominent
boys of the locality are likely to be
still more reckless.
Worm I’roofCotton.
Mr. I.. C. White, of Jaspar, Jas
per county, Texas, claims that af
ter twenty years of study and ex
periment lie lias fully succeeded in
producing a worm-proof cotton.
Not cr.ly is the plant worui-proof,
but it produces, lie says, more and
larger bolls to the stalk than any
other cotton, matures earlier, and
lias a bettor staple ami liner lint
than any other cotton grown, lie

a million dollars for the seed and

and materials is increasing and will
increase, while the price of pro
ducts stands still. No man can
look ahead six months and with
safety fix tlio price of any manu
facturcs.” Mr. llookwalter says
this is an unnatural and unhealthy
slate of airairs, and lie declares
that “we are surely traveling the
circle Hint leads to periodical pan
ics.”
The houisvillu Courier takes
a more hopeful and, we trust, ra
tional view of the business pros
pect. It says: “It may lie that
there will lie a reaction toward low-
cr prices as far as stocks are con
cerned,and some of the purely spec
ulative ones may entirely disap
pear. There will probably also lie
more difliculty in iloating worth
less securities, and purely specula
tive enterprises will have a hard
time indeed but, that there isdanger
of commercial revolution or of in
dustrial stagnation there is no
reason to believe. If the public
would study a little more carefully
the courses of the Huctuations, not
in prices alone, hut in prosperity,
the prophets of evil and the vision
ary schemers would not liml it so
easy to secure the followings.”

Tar 111' Absurdities.
The nbsurd features of the tariff
in one particular arc thus made
plain by the American UegitUer:
The duty on steel rails, now in such
demand by the railroads of this
country, furnishet a capital answer
to the cormorants who arc howling
for “protection to American indus
try.” The tariff imposes a duty of
twenty-eight dollar per ton on steel
rails manufactured in lOurope, and
this duty is prohibitory, few or
none being imported. If their
rails could ho imported, duty free,
they could lie furnished to railrouds
at thirty-two dollars per ton. Now
if they are imported at all, they
are sold at sixty dollars per ton, of
which twenty-eight dollar gos into
the Treasury of the United -States.
The American manufacturer sells
his rails at the same price, and as
lie pays no duty, the twenty-eight
dollars which the Government
docs not get, goes into his pockets
and thus increases the cost of rail
roads. This is a good thing for the
manufacturer but the swindle of
the people is none the Ic-: .
The buildings of the Internation
al Colton Imposition at Oglethorpe
park, were sold on the Dili at pri
vate sale by the executive commit
tee to K. I*, ltiei- and If. II. Itieli-
ards, of Atlanta, for $‘25,000, cash.
The sale is considered a good one,
ami the purchasers will organize
tt joint stock company at once to
till the buildings with machinery
lor the manufacture of cotton.
The Storey of a Newspaper.
Sonic papers are not of much ac
count ns to appearance, but 1 never
took one that tlitl not pay me, in
some way, more than 1 paid for it.
One lime an old friend started a
little paper way down in -South
western Georgia, and sent it to me,
and 1 subscribed to it just to en
courage him, anil after a awhile it
published a notice that an adminis
trator huil tut order to sell several
lots at public outcry, and one of
them was in my county. So I in
quired about the lot, and wrote to
my friend to mil it up to liily
dollars. lie did so, and bid olf the
lot at thirty dollars; and 1 sold it
in a month, to a man it joined, for
one hundred dollars, and so 1
made sixty-eight dollars clear be
taking that paper. Aly father told
me that when he was a young man
t-e saw a n Jtiee in a paper that a
school teacher was wanted away oil'
in a distant county, and lie went
there and got tin- situation, and a
little girl was sent to him, and
after awhile she grew up mighty
sweet and pretty, and lie fell in
love with her and married her.
Now, if lie hadn't taken that paper,
what do you reckon would Lave
become of me? Wouldn’t 1 have
been some other fellow, or may be
not at all.
