The New Orleans Picayune says that silk culture Jias rapidly developed in Louisiana, along the Gulf coast, within the past eighteen months, and that the product of the region around Thibo deauxville commands the highest price in the market. In New Orleans, there is now on exhi¬ bition a bale of raw silk from cocoons grown in Louisiana, and reeled at the Louisiana silk spinning mill, which is worth $7 per pound. The bale weighs ten pounds eight ounces, and comprises 633 skeins, making 1,200,000 yards, The growth ol Texas is marvelous. The increase in her taxable property last year was $130,000,000. New counties to the number of sixty-eight were organ¬ ized, giving two hundred in all. Besides this, there is a territory twice as large as Georgia not yet divided into counties. A Woolen-mill to cost $100,000 is in course of erection in Habersham county, Ga. The water comes tumbling down in a eataract and furnishes the power without a dollar’s artificial aid. It is said that the stream, without artificial aid, will turn $100,000,000 worth of ma¬ chinery. The Louisville and Nashville railroad company offered to present their Alabama exhibit, now at tko exposition in Louis¬ ville, to the city of Birmingham, pro¬ vided the board of trade will erect a suit¬ able buiding and irake a permanent display of the exhibit, and the proposi¬ tion has been accepted. It is unusual for a southern planter to make a balf million by farming. Mr. L. M. Hill, of Wilkes county Georgia, has just died. He made seven hundred thousand dollars by farming. In the same county, General Toombs and his brother Gabriel are each’worth a half million, nearly all of which has been made by farming. Thu first arrival of new granulated sugar at New Orleans from the parish of Ascension, is pronounced by competent judges to be the finest and hannsomest ever brought to that market, and the equal, in every respect, to the best pro¬ duct of the largest Eastern refinery. It was in two lots, and one lost sold at nine cents and the other at eight and seven eighths. The funds collected for the erection of a monument to General Lee, in Rich mond, new amounts to about $35,000. It is suggested that the corner-stone should be laid next October, and that the ceremonial shouid be rendered mem¬ orable by a reunion of the Army of Northern Virginia and by a ball at which the men should wear the Confederate uniform and the women dresses appro¬ priate to the sentiment of the occasion. The stock for the first ostrich farm, in, the United States has been shipped to Florida. It consists of three pairs three years-old ostriges. The destination of the birds was Sylvan Lake, Orange coun¬ ty, Fla ; the mode of conveyance, the Mallory line steamer Western Texas.— The birds shipped weighed from 150 to 200 pounds, and stood about seven feet high without any stockings. They are natives of Nubia, in Upper Africa, and they were captu-ed while very yeungby the agents of Messrs Charles Beiche & Brother, of New York and Hoboken, who are proprietors of the projected os strich farm. Clay spring, twelve miles from Or¬ lando and three miles from Apopka, Fla., is one of the largest mineral springs in the United States. The spring is situ¬ ated at the foot of a high bluff or hill. The pool where the water comes up is seventy-five to one Hundred feet across, in the center of which the water con¬ stantly boils and bubbles. Enough water comes out of the ground to form a river, and steamboats have run up from St. John and tied up directly over the open¬ ing, where tge water comes from the bow¬ els of the earth. The water is strong y impregnated with sulphur, and probably with other minerals. The spot is a fa¬ vorite resort for camping parties, who go mere to bathe in and drink the waters. The report of the naval advisory board as te the number and class of ves sela which should be commenced at once, in order to cany forward the work of re¬ constructing the unarmored fleet, recom¬ mends one vessel similar to the Chicago, oauthrized last winter and now under construction, to cost $1,295,000; one sim ilarj to the Boston and the Atlanta, au¬ thorized last winter, to cost $936,000; one to cost $482,000; two costing $516,000 each; two light draught gunboats to cost $269,000 each.

Journal : The contract for the sale of the crop on the old Speer grove, a mile and a quarter from San¬ ford, has this week been signed up and the forfeit deposited. The grove embra¬ ces 650 trees, covering six acres, aud the estimated crop is 600,000 oranges. Two dollars and a quart r per box, on the trees, is the price paid At 1 50 per box, 600,000 oranges will aggregate 4,000 boxes, which, at $2 25 per box, will yield $9,000 We learn that the expense of the grove this year will not exceed $500. Gen Joseph Finnegan, who has a grove near here and one down the viver, has sold the crop cn both groves at $3 per box, delivered at the railroad station near bis home place, aud at the warf at his river place. The estimated yield of both groves is 1,4000 boxes, which at 53 per box, would amount to $4,200. TDITOejM. notes. The loss by fire in this country and Canada is rising to startling proportions. In the first six months of this year there were 6,175 reported fires, involving a loss cl nearly $48,000,000. Germany has five hundred mills ror the manufacture of wood pulp. &ucn a degree of perfection has been attained in "the treatment that even for the the bettor qualities of paper the wood pulp is substituted for pulp made from rags. It constitutes seventy-five per cent, cf the paper stock used throughout Ger¬ many. Thus far this season the representa¬ tives of the Dwyer Brothers’ stable have won forty-eight races and $132,300 in money. Of this, amount Miss Y/oodfard has won $52,085; George Kinney, $39, 015; Barnes, $17,945; Bootjack, $9,610; Burton, $7,775; Wandering, $2,380; Ec¬ uador, $1,389; Hartford, $1,360; King Fan, $475; Carlcy B., $L5, and Gieen bush, $100. Tiie South Carolina railway is the most remarkable railway in the United States. It is the first railway built in the south, if not in the _ United T utates; its mileage has not been added to or duced since its completion; it has never of its stockholders; «»* «< and has ««r always so r' been successful and profitable.

The Southern immigration society, or ganized in Louisville, last month, pro poses to build immigrants’ houses at southern ports, and Switzers and Germans over direct. instance a Switzer who sold his forty nine acre farm in Switzerland, on which he was eking out an existence, for enough money to buy one hundred and fifty acres in America, pay his way over here, stock his farm and run it one year. That vras a good swap. Experiments in the direction of using cotton seed oil as a substitute for dis¬ eased hog’s fat have resulted in the man¬ ufacture of an article called olive butter. This substitute is a pure vegetable oil. It has a pungent, but not unpleasant smell while cooking, and this may be moved by a pinch of salt. oysters, pancakes and fritters fried in olive butter, by a good cook, have not a particle of greasiness about them, no taste whatever of the medium in which they have been fried. In secluded parts of Mt. Olivet Ceme¬ tery, Washington, but far apart, are thi graves of Mery E. Surratt aud Wirz, the keeper of the Andersonville prison, Wirz is buried under a tall hickory tree, in which squirrels chatter and gambol. Tall, rank weeds and unkempt grass sur¬ round the spot, and the simple wore “Wirz,” on a small block of marble at the head of the grave, is the only thing to denote bis resting place. A small, plain headstone has simply the name. “Mrs. Mary E. Surratt.” It is claimed that the cotton picker just invented by Mr. Neason, of Sump¬ ter, South Carolina, differs from all pre¬ vious inventions of the kind in the very points where they were deficient. The teeth of the new machine are so sensi tively set, it is said, that they will not clutch anything about a stalk of cotton but the open boll. A stalk with a dozen bolls open and twenty unripe can be robbed of its rcaJ v cotton and left - jur f\ Ex P enments have been made with the machine, and farmers who saw it work sav it will do. ThE American consul at Crefeld, Mr. 0 o tter. lias busied himself in tracing out sequel to thirty-one marriages be¬ tween Ameriosn girls and titled Germans. He has ascertained that with one solitary exception they have resulted in abandon¬ ment, separation, divorce, or some other conjugal disaster. It would be interest¬ ing to know how ths other American girls who marry abroad fare. A writer in the Graphic suggests that if the consular service generally would follow the ex¬ ample of our representative at Crefeld, a curious and useful chapter on sociology might result. The progress of the Panama canal should be a source of congratulation to all who take an interest in permanent works for the convenience of mankind. When M. Je Lisseps broke ground be bad 109,000,000 cubic metres of earth to remove. He has already taken out about 2,500,000 cubic metres, and after the first day of December he expects, through an increased force of men and machinery, to excavate 4,000,000 metres a month. This would enable him to finish the canal in 1888. The workmen are negroes from the West India islands, and all the pre¬ dictions of disease and death among them have been negatived. The com¬ pletion of the canal within five years is well assured. The growth of the South continues to astonish the people of the sluggish east¬ ern and middle states. When wealth is accumulating in the South at the rate of $160,000,000 a year; when the railroad mileage is keeping pace with the increase in wealth, and when the number of spin¬ dles has boen doubled since the census year—when they read about such facts as those, they begin to think that the South has a future, and to wonder how such things can be out of their own sec¬ tion. Then, too, they see that southern cotton mills aro dividing from fifteen to twenty per cent, on the capital invested, when their own mi Is are struggling to keep out of bankruptcy. Altogether, the gou q, em 0 f the country is looking up. —A tl anta C on stitution.

Some of the Western judges draw ra ;i ie r nice distinctions. An Arkansas has decided that it is not arson for a man set ^ re Lis own house, while by an Indiana tribunal it is held tnat to constitute the crime of arson the house itself, and not merely its late contents, California must de¬ be set on fire. But a cision is more unique than either. The Supreme Court reversed a conviction for perjury on the ground that the false testimony given by the offender was not material to the case, and therefore could not be perjury. Truly this is drawing it fine .—New York Hour. too high priced. Fessenden was terrible angry. He rushed up to Fogg and with clenched fists exclaimed, “What do you mean, sir, by insulting me as you have?” “What dp I mean, Fessv?” replied Fogg, quite coolly. “What do you mean, rather? You said I’d sell my soul for a shilling. That’s what I mean.” “Did I? Well, I’ll take it back. I don’t think you would, Fessy. You might offer it at that price, but there wouldn’t be any takers.” Fessen¬ den turned on his heel, and Fogg took three or four pulls at his cigar before remarking that it did make a fellow feel contented with himself to apologize for uttering a hasty word against an old friend.— Boston Transcript.

One was a young man of about twenty-two, the other, a man about sixty years old. One lives in the northern part of the State, and the other in the southern. Fate had brought them together. There was nothing cordial in their meeting. They didn’t cry out “Put it thar !” and pump-handle each other like a couple of old friends. On the contrary, the young man grew red in the face and breathed hard and stammered out: “Ten years ago I went to school to you i” “Yes, you did,” was the calm reply. ‘ ‘And one day you licked me almost to death for an offence committed by an¬ other boy !” “Well, you were always in need of a licking.” continued the “And I swore,” that young if man, “aye I registered a vow, I met you after I bad grown up I would have my re venge ! Prepare to be pounded to a lifeless mass !” “I’m prepared,” replied the oldschool master, as he spat ou his hands, and in a minute the fun was raging. The young man rushed upon him with a war-whoop, but his nose struck something and lie fell down. He got up aud rushed again, and .this time he was flung down, rolled over, stepped on and left with a number of loose teeth and a splitting headache. The police took him in, but when they came to hunt for the old man he was across the street trying to pinup a rent in his coat and saying to some of his friends: “Ah ! it brings hack all the memories of the old red school-house to get my hands on an unruly pupil in the first reader class again.”— Detroit Free Press. THE MODERN boy’s SEVEN AGES. Mr. Shakespeare says that a man has seven ages, but to my opinion a boy has about ten of his own. He begins with his first pair of breeches and a stick horse, and climbs up by degrees to toy guns and firecrackers, and slingshot and breaking calves and billy goats, and, sure enough, guns and pointer dog, and look¬ ing-glass age when he admires himself and greases his hair, and feels of his down beard, and then he joins a brass band and toots a horn, and then he reads novels and falls in love and rides a prancing horse and writes perfumed love notes to his girl. When his first kicks him and begins to run with an¬ other fellow he drops into the age of despair, and wants to go to Texas, or some other remote region, and sadly sighs: ■ show,” “This world is all a fleeting Boys are mighty smart now-a-days. They know as much at ten as we used to at twenty, and it is right hard for us to keep ahead of ’em. One of these modem philanthropists was telling my kinsman the other day how to raise his boy. “Never whip him,” said he. ‘ ‘Baise him on love and kindness and reason,” and then he appealed to me for indorsement. “And when that hoy is about twelve years old,” said I, “do you go to him and if possible persuade him not to whip his daddy. Tell him it is wrong and unfilial and will injure his reputation in the community.” The modern boy is entirely too bigity. —Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution. A CRUSHED PORTER. We are happy. The porter of the parlor car has been crushed. “Beg yo’ pawdon, sail,” he remarked with impressive grandeur to one of the occupants of his car. “Dat was a trad doilah yo’ handed me a minute ago.” “Ah, was it?” replied the plebe, as he took it from the outstretched hand and examined it. “Take this for j oar honesty, my friend,” and pocketing the dollar the traveler handed the astounded potentate of the road a lead nickel. The insensible body of the porter was left at the next station, and after physi¬ cians had worked at him for two hours, he recovered sufficiently to murmur in¬ coherently. pah’lyzed “It wa’nt de money what me, boss; but he called me ‘my freri !’ Boss, dat done tuk me down offul!”— Oil City Blizzard. HE HUMORED HIM. A New York stockbroker, who was on his way to Buffalo last week, observed that one of his fellow-passengers was closely regarding him, and after a time the man came over and asked: “Didn’t I see you in Chicago in 1879 ?” The broker wasn’t in Chicago that year, he replied but thinking to humor the stranger, in the affirmative. “Don’t you remember handing a poor devil a half dollar one night in front of the Tremont ?” “I do.” “Well, I’m the chap. I was hard up, out of work, and about ready to commit suicide. That money made a new man of me. By one lucky shift and another I am now worth $25,000.” “Ah ! glad to hear it.” “And now I want you to take five dol¬ lars in place of that fifty cents. I can’t feel easy until the debt is paid.” The broker protested and objected, but finally, just to humor the man, he look his $20 bill and gave him back $15. The stranger soon withdrew, and every¬ thing might have ended then and there if the broker, on reaching Buffalo, hadn’t ascertained that the “twenty” was a counterfeit and that he was $15 out of pocket.— Wall Street News. HE SUCCEEDED. “This drawer never comes out right,” said old Mr. Brown to his wife the other morning, as he took hold of the knobs of the lower drawer of the bureau. “You don’t pull bard enough,” re¬ plied Mrs. eh?” Brown. “Don’t, “No, you don’t.” Then Mr. Brown said he would pull harder than he ever did before. So he braced himself, and yanked upon both knobs with might and main, and the drawer flew out, and down went Brown on his back, and the next instant he was busily engaged in prying various arti¬ cles out of liis eyes, ears, mouth and nose. “That’s right,” said Mrs. Brown, smilingly, “I knew you would get if. open, if you only pulled hard enough. Whenever you want to open that drawer, only pull on it half as hard as yon pull on the bottle, and you will get it open.” And Brown kicked the drawer over on the sofa, anti jumping waiting suddenly up, flew down town without to-put his collar on.— Puck. QUICK CONSUMPTION. Little Mary, who is very much inter¬ ested in studying the “laws of health,” since school began, had been asking Mr. Battler all sorts of questions about dis¬ eases aud their remedies. “Now, papa,” she continued, “if you neglect a bad cold you lay a foundation for the consumption, don’t you?” “Yes,” answered her father. “And consumptives aro thin and pale, aren’t they ?” “Yes.” “What other signs are there in—well, injjquick consumption, papa?” queried the child. “Five minutes for refreshments, posted in railroad stations,” responded B. The examination closed.— Boston Courier. Death of Marwood. Marwood, the executioner, died at Horncastle, England, from congestion of the lungs and jaundice. He was sixty-tliree years of age and had held his post for twelve years. He leaves a widow, but no son, as has been stated. Some incidents of his life are narrated by a local correspondent who was per¬ sonally acquainted with Marwood, and who had a long conversation with him. shortly before his death. He says: “There were many attempts to get a portrait of Marwood, hut he always re¬ fused. An enterprising photographer offered him fifty pounds one day for a sitting, but he declined, his explanation enjoyed being that one of the things he more than anything else was to go to a town by an earlier train than he was ex¬ pected, and mix in the crowd that was waiting his arrival. If his correspond¬ ence has been preserved it will be very curious. Quite recently he showed which me a sword of a Japanese executioner had been sent to him by a certainly gentleman of from Brighton, and it was intrinsic value. He had contemplated, he said, putting another story on to his shop and making a kind of museum, where he could show his friends and neighbors the peculiar things he had collected during his experiences as an executioner. Once only had he an inter¬ view with Calcraft, and that was when a party of Americans had asked to be allowed to visit Calcraft. Marwood went with some official to ask Calcraft if he would receive the visitors. He used to declare that previous to the execution in Ireland, when a prisoner’s arm caught in the rope, he had never had a single slip in his work. With regard to the Durham execution, con¬ cerning which he was summoned to the Home Office, immediately after the question had been put in Parliament, he stated that the and prisoner fainted at the last moment, that that was the cause of the rope catching in his arm, and he was particularly careful to men¬ tion that at the inquest and satisfactorily cleared himself. His opinion was that in all future executions a warder should stand on each side of the prisoners on a plank extending over the drop, and the loose portion of the rope be tied up to the beam by a slight cord, which should, give way by the weight of the body, and he declared that he should neve» undertake an execution again without these precautions being adopted. Many of his Irish experiences were a source iff great amusement to him. An escort used to meet him at Chester and accom¬ pany him across the Channel. After some of the early executions connected with the Phoenix Park assassinations, Marwood had to proceed to Glasgow, and he related how an escort which was to accompany him were disappointed when they found that he declined their company and intended to move about England without any protection while what¬ ever. It was at Glasgow, he was preparing the prisoners on the scaffold, that a letter was received by the Gov¬ ernor of the jail which might have been, a respite. The Governor signaled ta Marwood while he read the letter, which proved to be on other business. Mar¬ wood received very few threatening let¬ ters.”— London Standard.
