BlMiAlf HAG CLOTH
Is Considered Good Cotton Covering
by the New York Kxrhunge,
A New York dispatch of Saturday
says: Tho protest of a few of the New
B'ngJand cotton rnilh against the use
rif the sugar bag cloth for covering
cotton, seems to have little effect
among the cotton merchants of the
city.
Thousands of copies of this letter,
Addressed to the President of the
New York Cotton Exchange, have been
sent all over the south by trouble some one,
hut they have not taken the to
also send the answer of the president
of the cotton exchange.
There have been for years great com¬
plaints of the flimsy clmractor of the
jute bagging now being manufactured,
and the exporters of cotton particular¬
ly 0 ns ready to welcome the use of a
strong, closely woven covering like
the sugar bag cloth, some going so fur
as to say that it is superior to the jute
bagging.
The New York Cotton Exchange, re¬
garding the whole affair as simply a
mercantile fight between two parties
anxious to sell their goods, have very
wisely dined to tal < any action on
the math r. As it now stands, cotton
covered with sugar bag cloth is a good
| delivery on the New York Cotton Ex¬
change. and JiksJv to continue so.

About <> o'clock Friday afternoon a
crowd of Boys and men met on a
small prairie, nine Miles south of JM

ball. A shower came np during the
game ami they all ran to a large oak.
Lightning struck the tree aud the fol
lowing were killed outright: J<»hn
Jacobs, Waiter Atchlcy, Join Blanch¬

I thought some of them will die.

| 1 BAKING POWDER, its
M great qualities warrant them in
making a trial of it.
The ROYAL BAKING POWDER
takes the place of sotki and cream of
tartar, is more convenient, more eco¬
nomical, and makes the biscuit, cake,
pudding and dumpling lighter, sweeter,
more delicious and wholesome.
Those who take pride in making the
finest food say that it is quite indispen¬
sable therefor.

This instrument, according to the
Chicago h’rrnhig /'out, performs all
the functions of the human "typewri¬
ter'' except to chew gum and entertain
young gentlemen caller.i during tho
business hours. It, is claimed tube a
new invention that business men tail
dictate letters into one end and pull
them out of the other end reedy for
tho post. It does not yet appear tube
perfected,as it adheres to the phonetic
system of spelling and outrages Web¬
ster in no uncertain tli glee ; and, like
many of its hunmu competitors, its
capitalization and punctuating urn claims ex¬
asperating. Yet, the inventor
that all these defects will be remedied.
It is not yet on the market, but is said
to resemble a cash register ill nppi nr
aneo. It, is actuated by electricity—
you simply press the button, talk into
the cylinder and the phouautogrupk
does tho rest.”
