to wear them of bamboo in the Chow dy
nasty, 1122 B. C. Some 500 years later,
under the fortnnAtc reign of Sisng Wang,
eighteenth emperor of the Chang dynasty,
they were produced from Ivory, and under
King Wang, twenty-fifth of the same hne,
those of tortoise shell were introduced.
Later still, about the middle of the third
century, hairpins, either of silver or gold,
were brought into use, and having carved
heads, being all apparently of the single
form, made like unto a phcrnlx, were
known as phccnix pins.

Mr. Ochiltree on th. Warpath.
New York World.
The Hon. Thomas Porterhouse Ochil
tree, the very independent member from
Texas, recently made application for ad
mission to the Metropolitan, the leading
club of Washington. Tho name of the dis
tinguished Ochiltree was rejected after
mature consideration. The rules of this
club provide that where a namo is put np
for consideration no objections shall be re
ceived by the governing committee unless
the objection is made in writing by a mem
ber of the club. Ochiltree is now engaged
in hunting for the member who gave rea
sons in writing which proved so effectual
in barring out the ambitious Texan from
the very fashionable club. The Metropoli
tan has become very exclnsive lately and
recently rejected a man whose name had
been proposed by General William T. Sher

Gen. Crant's Condition.
New York World.
Everybody feels an interest in General
Grant, and his physical condition there
fore is a matter of public solicitude. Ulys
ses tho yodngor told a reporter yesterday
that the stories of his father's condition
were greatly exaggerated. He said that
the General did not move about the room
without using crutches and, owing to a
lack of exercise, did not sleep quite as well
as usual at night. Ho still stuck to his
pernicious cigar. The young man added:
It may be confidently expected that
Gen. Grant will bo able to go out driving in
a month's time. Before his accident, ho
never had known what It was to be sick,
but since it he has had several little sick
nesses. Rheumatism troubled Idm some
what, but an attack of pleurisy which
he eustalned a short time ago was almost
dangerous. Still lie Is getting along well
now, and though the political world will
certainly never see him again, I think Gen.
Grant will bo visible to such as care to see
him in every-day life soon enough.
The Wadltr Memorial.
F&vannah Newt.
The presence of Air. Robert Cushing, the
sculptor, whicli has been for some weeks
expected In Savannah, revives public in
terest in tlie Wadley memorial. A rc-
S orter of the Morning Unit called yestcr-
ay upon Air. T. B. Catherwood, secretary
of the Wadley Memorial Association, lie
preferred thal the reporter interview Air.
William Rogers, the president, and was
rather reticent, but replied- to an Inquiry
in regard to Air. Cushing’s visit:
“Yes, I understand that Air. Cushing is
in town, though I have not had the pie
are of meeting him."
"Was lie expected?”
“Yes, he came by special invitation from
the executive committee of the Wadley
Memorial Association."
“Has Mr. Cushing contracted with the
Wadley Association to make a statue or
monument?”
“I think not, but Mr. AVadley’s friends,
and the employes of the companies of
which he was president, were very favors-
kly impressed by the bust which was exe
cuted to the order of Mrs. Wadley, and
which waa stopped here for exhibition for
a abort time. We who had the pleasure
of seeing that bust feel very grateful to
Airs. Wadley, that the had restrained her
own loving desire to zee it forafewdayz,
and to Capt. W. G. Raoul, at whose
thoughtful suggestion it was left here.”
“Tne association must have raised con
siderable funds to be enabled to deal with
an artist of Mr. Cushing's celebrity?”
"The association has been very success
ful; the funds in the hands of the treasu
rer. Mr. T. M. Cunningham, foot up con
siderably over 313.000. This money has
been given freely, in sums ranging from
25 cents to f 100.”
“Was it a purely voluntary movement
on the part of the employes?”
“It was: it is altogether an unique move
ment ; nothing like It was ever undertaken
before, and it is not likely that another
such will follow after it. Air. Wadley was
one of those men who hold the esteem of
their fellow men, no rasttcr how high they
climb. Did you know him ?”
“I am sorry to say I did not. I have
keen told, Air. Catherwood, that you inau
gurated this movement”
“The movement originated among the
passenger conductors, most of whom had
served for many yean under Mr. Wad-
ley’* presidency, and knew his sterling
worth, and his sympathy for his fellow
laborers."
"Where will the atatne be erected ?'!
“The settlement of that question will in
volve considerable big talk. Savannah be
ing headquarters of the companies should
be the location without question, but some
of our interior cities may lay claim to the
honor, and there is no predicting just what
the result of the rote may be.”

Washington letter In Cleveland Herald.
When 1 was in tho “Dead Letter" De
partment the other day, one of the clerks
engaged in opening the letters—at a table
near by-called to a gontleman who was
entertaining me. He went to him and Im
mediately beckoned me to follow.
“Now, what can be done in this case?’’
he said. “Here is a letter this instant
opened, and you see what it contains."
In it was a clean, new $20 bill, neatly
folded and wrapped in a piece of perfectly
blank brown paper- -not a mark of pen or
pencil to show from whom it was sent. The
letter had been advertised as unclaimed
and was dead, and the examination of its
contents made it more completely dead
than befose.
“We have nothing but the postmark,
and even that is almost obliterated, but
our expert will take hold of it and do the
best he can with it. There’s a pretty slim
chance in this case. I guess Uncle Sam
will get that money. This reminds me of
something in my own experience. A few
years ago, when I was opening letters, I
found one just like this, except that the
amount was $30, and on the paper wrapper
around it was written in pencil: *A friend.
Matthew vi., 3.’ I looked that up and
found it to be: ‘But when thou dost alms,
let not thy left hand kuow what thy right
hand doeth.’ The letter was addressed to
a woman and it was clearly a case of chari
ty. I really felt bail that we could not suc
ceed in linding cither party, and that
money is in the treasury to-day."
The number of letters opened last year,
containing currency, checks, drafts and
negotiable fiaper, was over 34,000. The
amount of actual cash taken from letters
was nearly $39,000, and the value of
checks, Ac., representing money, about $1,-
000.000. During the lost year the number
of pieces of mail matter that reached the
Dead-Letter Office was nearly 4,600,0001
The exact number was 4,440,822. This is
about 14,500 for every day.

FRUIT AND MELON GROWERS.
A Large and Enthusiastic Meeting Held
In Quitman.
Quitman. February 8.—The South Gedr-
gia Fruit and Melon Growers' Association
held a meeting in Quitman on yesterday.
The attendance was good. Among rail
road officials present were R. E. Lutz, of the
Louisville and Nashville via Montgomery;
J. P. Beckwith, J. A. Sams, of the Louisville
and Nashville via Atlanta; R. Wallace, of
the Louisville and Nashville; J. L. Taylor,
of the Savannah, Florida and Western.
As growers reaped such small percent
age on the last crop, efforts were made to
induce a reduction o! freights, but as yet
no concessions have been reached. Prob
ably 24,000 pounds will be allowed for a
car load; only 20,000 pounds were allowed
last year.
Mr. Taylor thought his roads could ex
tend points into the Carolinas, West Vir
ginia and Maryland.
Mr. Taylor and Mr. Sams thought dis
tributing agents were necessary, These
;encies will be at Savannah, Atlanta and
ontgomery. Steps were taken by the
association to establish them. Parties
pay agents according to the acreage plant
ed. The acreage in melons will be about
the same. Le»9 attention will be paid to
vegetables.
It was insisted by the association and
railroad men that no melons under twen
ty pounds be shipped.
Mr. Taylor, of the Savannah. Florida and
Western railroad, closed his address to the
association with this pithy and flattering
remark: “The will of the shipper is our
law."

Discussing Morrison's Bill.
Philadelphia press.
Washington, February 7.—A meeting
of the committee oil ways and means was
held tliis morning, at which the question
of giving the manufacturers a hearing on
the Morrison bill was discussed. It was
agreed that the cotton men should be heard
on Wednesday, the 13th; that the woolen
interests should have a hearing on the 11th.
and the manufacturers of metals should
be heard on the IGth. and those of earthem
and glass ware on the 18th.
The bill was not discussed. Judge
Kelley called attention to tho clause in the
middle ol the bill relating to gloss, salt in
sacks, etc., which has no apparent con
nection with any other part of the measure
and which, ns it stands, is entirely incom
prehensible. It is generally known that
Mr. Morrison intends this clause to come
under the 20 per cent, reduction, but Judge
Kelley said ho did not understand the
meaning of it, and would like an explana
tion from tho chairman. Mr. Morrison
answered, in a very petulant manner, that
everybody elso knew what he meant by the
clause and he believed Judge Kelley
did also, and lie would make no expianu'
Uon.
Informal discussion among members of
the committee shows very plainly that Mr.
Morrison’s measure Will be favorably re
ported to the House. The more the bill is
discussed the greater appear its defects,
and, while it is possible that some sort of
a horizontal reduction may be adopted, it
will*certainly not be the bill of the charac
ter promised by Mr. Morri«on.

Improvement of 8tock.
Gainesville Eagle.
One of the favorable indications, we no
tice, is the growing interest in the most im
proved breeds of stock. And this is not
confined to any particular locality, bnt in
every section of the State, the more enter
prising of oilr farmers are improving their
stock by the introduction of the very best
breeds that can be obtained. This does not
apply to cattle alone, but to a good degree
embraces horses and hogs also. The opin
ion heretofore prevailing that Georgia far
mers could not compete with other sections
in stock raising, is being dissipated. Our
people are beginning to find out that with
the ngeessary attention, grass will grow as
luxuriantly and can be produced os cheap
ly as anywhere else, and when armed with
this, the stock raiser in Georgia cannot on
ly compete with Kentucky, but on account
of the milder climate and longer season,
will be able to outstrip him in the end. It
must be remembered that stock raising as
a business is comparatively a new indus
try. while in the leading stock-producing
.States every phase and feature of the sub
ject has been studied and practiced for
years.
It is not te be expected, therefore, that
he Georgia farmer, without experience
and without an intcllgent knowledge of the
business, should make no mistakes, and it
may be, failures. But if he will experiment
until he finds out the grassej that are
adapted to his soil and will then follow the
business as he would any other pursuit,
there need be no misgivings as to the ulti
mate result
which so much time, labor and money
have been expended, did not contain ac-1
counts of the part borne by the navy in the

It is intended to secure the services of a
prominent naval officer of each side to col

pare the data thus obtained for publica

members of the committee and other Con
gressmen expressed surprise at such a
