The total number of these dignitaries

General AV. H. Slocum favors a confed

the two cities of New York and Brooklyn,
each to retain control of its own water

Mr. Burchard, director of the mint,
put. the product of the Georgia gold
mines in 1882 at $250,000; of North Car
olina at $190,000; of South Carolina at
$25,000, and of Virginia at $15,000 —a
total of $480,000. This amount is an in

The Queen's navee, when all vessels on

France has the same number of ships,
but the armor is 141 inches thick, the
guns averaging 40 tons, and half of them
are breech-loading.

Mr. Blaine, in a private letter, speak

Maine.
Mr. Percey E. Battaile, of Louisiana,
has caught within the last twelve months
with a steel trap fixed on the top of a

Many of the hawks were of the largest
kind.
The total miles of railroad in the State
of New York, September 20, 1882, were
7,269, and the number of locomotives in
the State was 3,541. This is an average
of almost one engine to every two miles
of road—a higher average than prevails
in the country generally. The total num
ber of locomotives reported at the end of
the year 1881 was 20,116 for 104,325
miles of road, or less than one to every
five miles.
The richest colored man in the United
States is Aristide Marie, of New Orleans,
who has an income from his city rent-roll
alone of about $50,000 to say nothing of
his other property. He has not, however
made all this since Lincoln’s prcclamma

fore the war, and is a gentleman of blood
and breeding which would throw any
number of Haytien princes in the shade,
whatever the particular hue of their skin.
Mr. Marie lives abroad, on the Proser

Cotton has recently been adapted to a
new and most usdful pur]>ose. Mamifac
tured into duck it has been successful y
introduced as a rcx'fing material. Aside
from its cheapness, it possesses the aver
age of lightness as compared w ithshinlges
or slate, effectually excludes all water and
is said to be a non-conductor of heat, so
that the rooms next the roof are not un
duly heated by the sun’s rays. The
method of laying is to plane the boards
to an even thickness and nail them down
securely. The duck is laid dry, and
drawn over the roof—not lengthwise.
The edges are lapped one inch, and nail
ed with sixteen-ounce tinned carpet tacks.
These tacks are driven one inch apart.
Then two coats of paint, composed of oil
and lead, are apjilied. When it is desired
to protect the roof against fire, fire-proof
paint may be used in addition. Should

DALTON, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1883.
Editorial Notes.
The population of New York city has
doubled six times within a century—
doubting on an average once every seven
teen years. In other words the New
York of to-day is sixty-four times as large
as the New York of 100 years ago.
The boom in Confederate securities
still continues in Richmond, Virginia.
There have been sales at auction of North
Carolina war bonds at $4 per SI,OOO and
brokers are constant buyers of all classes
of Confederate coupon securities. The
house of Thomas Branch A Co., has
bought over $20,000,000 worth of these
securities.
The state board of silk culture at ’Fris
co continues its efforts to intercept some
of the $9,000,000 in raw silk that annu
ally pass through the local ports for the
eastern states by offering prizes for native
grown silk at the Sacramento fair in Sep
tember, the minimum weight of each ex
hibit to be not less than one-fourth of a
pound. Coccoons are sold throughout
the state for from 90 cents to $1 each.
Florida is not the only state in which
English capitalists are making large land
purchases. In Texas one lot of about a
third of a million acres has been bought
by an English company, while in Missis
sippi about a million and a third have
recently been taken up by another.
These investments are made with a con
viction that the value of all land in Amer
ica must increase, and that, by a little
outlay in drainage and preparation, tracts
that can be purchased now for a cam
paratively small sum will soon have a 1
high agricultur.d value, and raise fat
rents for their British owners.

The Light Went Out,
Not long ago I stood by the death-bed
of a tittle girl. From her birth she had
been afraid of death. Every fiber of her
body and soul recoiled from the thought
of it. “Don’t let me die,” she said;
“don’t let me die. Hold me fast. Oh. I
can’t go.” “Jenny,” I said, “you have
two little brothers in the other world,
and there are thousands of tender-hearted
people over there who will love you and
hike care of you.” But she cried out
again despairingly, “Don’t let me go;
they are strangers over there.” She was
a little country girl, strong limbed, fleet
of foot, tanned in the face; she was raised
on the frontier; the fields were her home.
In vain we tried to reconcile her to the
death that was inevitable. “Hold me
fast,” she cried, “don’t let me go.” But
even as she was pleading her little hands
relaxed their clinging hold from my
waist and lifted themselves eagerly aloft;
lifted themselves with such straining
effort that they lifted the wasted little
body from its reclining position among
the pillows. Her face was turned up
ward; but it was her eyes that told the
story. They were filled with the light of
Divine recognition. They saw something
plainly that we could not see; and they
grew brighter and brighter, and her
little hand quivered in eagerness to go
where strange portals had opened upon
her astonished vision. But even in that
supreme moment she did not forget to
leave a word of comfort for those who
would gladly have died in her place:
“Mamma,” she was saying, “mamma,
they are not strangers. I’m not afraid.”
And every instant the light burned more
gloriously in her blue eyes till at last it
seemed as if her soul leaped forth upon
its radiant waves, and in that moment
her trembling form relapsed among its
pillows and she was gone.

A Lovelorn Indian Maiden’s Suicide.
The Brandon Sun says: News has
come that an Indian maiden belonging
to a branch of the Sioux on the Oak
River Reserve, in Manitoba, recently
committed suicide. The Chief desired
her to marry a certain member of the
tribe, who was advanced in years, but
the maiden’s fancy had already been en
gaged by a young brave, whom she
promised to wed should she wed at all.
The objection shown to the Chief’s
wishes enraged him to such an extent
that he insisted on the marriage with the
older one, and threatened all manner of
punishments in the event of further con
tumacy. There appeared no possible
escape? for the unhappy maiden but one,
and she bravely faced it. Getting pos
session of a piece of rope, she managed
to slip away unobsei-ved, and, fastening
the rope to a branch of a tree in the
vicinity of the encampment, succeeded
in most effectually hanging herself.
Paper Tents. —Paper houses are com
ing into use in England, where for some
purposes they are found greatly superior
to tents. Shooting lioxes 12 feet square
are found convenient both to use and 1
transport, and the material being imper- |
vious to moisture, the little cottages are ’
satisfactory from a sanitary point of:
view. It is said that they will be used j
at the seaside during the coming season,
not only for bathing houses but as “resi
dences” for <|iiiet bachelors of contem
plative habits.
There have been many definitions of
a gentleman, but the prettiest and most

BLESSED BE NIGHT.
THE NEW FIRST READER.
Leason 1., Which Telia uh Whnt Whs Done
in n Single Night.
[From the Detroit Free Press.]
It is night. A policeman awakes with
a sudden start and moves around the
corner, having a secret fear at his heart
that he had slept through all that night,
all next day and far into to-morrow night.
It is night in a great city. The poker
and faro rooms are in full blast, 10,000
loafers are holding down street cornel's,
and here and there an intoxicated aider
man can be seen making his way to a
policy shop or a gathering of the pave
ment ring. Under cover of darkness,
first manufactured over 6,000 years ago,
the hotel-beat lowers his duds from the
fourth-story window; all who have dead
head tickets start for the opera houses;
hundreds of young men set out to spark;
reporters fondly look forward to fires,
robberies and murders, and church choirs
meet to rehearse and wrangle and lay up
chibs for each other.
’Tis night in the country. The stock
has been fed, the squeal of the pig is
hushed, and the tired horse munches at
his corn and wonders why his master
throws in so many cobs without a kernel
on them. The watch dog sits at the
gate, perfectly willing to chew up any
of the neighbors for a cent, and within
the farm house all is serene, or would be
if John Henry could find the grease for
his Iwxits, Mary Ann could find her novel,
the old man discover the hiding-place of
the bootjack, and the mother solve the
mystery of how some of her neighbors
managed to get a dress costing two
shillings per yard while she had nothing
but calico.
’Tis night on the ocean. The proud
steamer sails gallantly on and on, the
captain snoring in his berth, the mates
playing euchre, the lookouts asleep, and
everything in readiness to swear, in case
of collision, that it was all the other
vessel’s fault. Nothing io heard but the
steady beat of the propeller, the groans
of the immigrants, and the voices of
men and women declaring that anybody
who plans an ocean voyage for pleasure
ought to be shot dead with codfish balls.
The sportive dolphin gambols away his
hard earnings, the whale rolis over for
another nap, and the business-like shark
follows in the wake to pick up any op
portunity which may tumble overboard.
'Tis night on the prairie. The red
men gather about the camp-fire to count
Ihe scalps they have taken within the
hist w eek, and to grumble at the govern
ment for not furnishing them port wine
and repeating rifles. The white hunter
and trapper curls himself up to wonder
where he can find old bones for break
fast, and to realize what a fool he has
made of himself, and the gaunt wolf
shoulders his empty stomach and sets
out in search of something to make life
worth living for.
Night grows apace. In the city the
weary wife takes her place in the hall
with club in hand. In the country the
old folks fall into bed aweary with the
work of the day, and the young people
spark and chew pop-corn. On the ocean
the sea-sickers continue to grow worse,
and the songs of the mermaids fall flat.
On the prairie the Indians finally decide
to make war in the spring, the hunter
falls asleep to dream of eating his boots
for dinner, and the wolf meets a wild-cat
and offers to toss up to see which shall
eat the other.
Blessed be night. But for it the burg
lars and gas companies would fill our
poorhouses, and the afternoon
papers would have no morning journals
to steal from.
Days of the Clipper Ship.
The fast-sailing clipper, Young Amer
ica, which for thirty years has led the
average records of the Pacific coast sail
ing vessels, is now at Portland, Oregon,
and the local tars recall the exciting
times when the 90 days’ sail from ban
Francisco to New York was a matter of
speculation and gambling. About ten
years ago the Young America reached
San Francisco, being 99 days from Liver
pool, and the fastest time on record, and
a few days later the British ship Esco
cesa arrived with the next best record.
This led to a newspaper controversy in
which the relative merits of the ships was
freely canvassed; and, finally, Theodore
H. Allen published a proposition to the
effect that, if both ships could leave San
Francisco within twenty-four hours of
each other, he would bet five thousand
dollars on the Young America, which
offer was taken. A furor of betting arose
which was never equaled in the history
of deep-sea navigation. The Davy
Crockett was nearly ready for sea at the
same time, and pools were sold on the
three vessels, the Young America being
the favorite. On the 28th of February
the Escocesa iyid Young America were
towed ont of San Francisco within half a
mile of each other. The wind, which
wuh very light, was from the west, lhe
British ship Patrician, which went ont
just ahead of them, was caught in acalm
and drifted in upon the Potato Patch
reef, outside Point Bonita, where she
went to pieces. Next morning a bark
arrived from Batavia and reported hav
ing met both ships. She met the Young
America forty-five miles off the Farra
lones and the Escocesa three hours and
a half behind. This weather lasted some
davs, and the Yankee ship never lost her
advantage, but increased it to such an
ext-nt that she beat the Escocesa five
ya Is and the Davy Crockett eleven, al
though her time on this voyage was one
hundred and eight days.

In using roots it is one guide t<M
just so much, in association with
things, so that the animal may not
any water.
In buildings, have warmth, with comJ
plete ventilation, without currents, but
never under 40 degrees, nor over 70 de
grees Fahrenheit.
A cool, damp, airy temperature will
cause animals to consume more food
without corresponding result in bone,
muscle, flesh or fat, much being used to
keep up warmth.
Stall feeding is better for fat making
than box or yard management irrespec
tive of health.
The growing animal, intended for beef,
requires a little exercise daily, to pro
mote muscle and strength of constitution;
when ripe, only so much as to be able to
walk to market.
Keep the temperature of the body
about one hundred degrees; not under
ninety-five degrees nor over one hundred
and five degrees Fahrenheit.
Don’t forget that one animal’s meat
may be another animal’s poison.
It takes three days of good food to
make up for one of bad food.
The faster the fattening the more
profits; less food, earlier returns and
better flesh.
Get rid of every fattening cattle beast
before it is three years old.
Every day an animal is kept after be
ing prime is loss, exclusive of manure.
The external evidences of primeness
are full rumps, flanks, twist, shoulder,
pores, vein and eye.
A good cattle man means a difference
of one-fourth. He should know the likes
and dislikes of every animal.
It pays to keep one man in constant
attendance on 30 head of fattening
cattle.
Immediately when an animal begins
to fret for food, immediately it begins to
lose flesh ; never check the fattening pro
cess.
No cattle whatever will pay for the
direct increase to its weight from the
consumption of any kind or quantity of
food the manure must be properly
valued.
Never begin fattening without definite
plan.
There is no loss in feeding cattle well
for the sake of the manure alone.
On an average it costs, on charging
every possible item, 12 cents for every
additional pouiql added to the weight
of a two or three-year-old fattening
beast.
In this country the market value of
store cattle can be increased 36 per
cent, during six months of the fattening
finish.
No Chance To Shoot.
One Sunday afternoon, at a hotel in
Alabama, we were talking about how
great disappointments sometimes soured
a man, when a chap who had been chew
ing plug tobacco all by himself over by
the window turned around and said:
“Gentlemen, you’ve hit it plumb cen
ter ! Up to four years ago I was a man
who alius wore a grin on his face, and I’d
divide my last chaw with a stranger.
Folks now call me mean and ugly, and I
kin hardly get a man to drink with me.”
“Then you have suffered a great disap
pointment?” I queried.
“I have, stranger—l have. Ten years
Ago a man in this very town cleaned me
out on a mortgage, sold me out on an ex
ecution, and chuckled at me when I took
the dirt road for Tennessee. I orter have
shot him, but somehow I didn’t do it,
and arter I got to Tennessee things be
gan preying on my mind. Day and
night I could hear a voice saying: ‘Go
back and plunk old Brown,’ and I lost
flesh and came powerful near going into
a decline.”
“Yes ?”
“Well, that voice kept talking and I
kept waiting, but in about three years I
shouldered my rifle and turned my steps
this way, my mind fully made up to
shoot old Brown on sight. He had a
patch o’ land out west o’ here, and used
to ride out every day. I made for that
spot, calkerlating to biff him as he drove
up to the gate. Nobody had seen me,
and nobody would know who did the
shooting. ”
“ Yes,’’some one answered as he made
a long pause.
“ Well, I got fixed and waited, and I
was feeling real good for the first time in
three years when I heard hoofs and
looked out for the old man. It wasn’t
him. True as you sot there the old skin
flint had gone and died only a week be
fore, giving me a tramp of 200 miles to
say * howdy?’to his executor! Gentle
men, I can’t describe my feelings ! Just
think of one white man playing such a
trick on another ! It was wuss than Ar- I
kansaw swamp mud warmed over for !

and chills and a cough, and here I am,
sour, cross, mulish, ugly and realizing
that I don’t stand no more show of going

dog does of swallowing a postqflice with

Had the Sluff In Him.
A well known American editor lately
visited the school he had left as a boy
thirty years before. “It was ‘composi
tion day,’” he writes, “and as one essay
after another was read, I could hardly
persuade myself that a day had passed,
and these were not my own class-mates.
“The Ixiys read the same stilte<l
periods on ‘The Fall of Rome,’ ‘The Tri
umphs of Genius,’ ‘Liberty,’ and ’lh»
Future of America;’ and the girls over
flowed with precisely the same senti
ments about violets, and fairy dolls, a.n<>
crimson sunsets, and the lost Pleiad.
“Now,” whispered the old dominie t<i
the editor, "you shall hear the clevei?
boy of the school. I anticipate a great
I career for this lad.”
The composition was on the “Indiaij
Problem,” or "Free Trade,” or som«*
other profound subject, on which it wh i
impossible that a boy thirteen or four-j
teen could have a theory or argument t<«
advance, except those which he ha,B
heard from others. These were pro
duced with a flood of high sounding ii -<
relevant words. "The career,” said th»>
editor, “I would prophesy for such »
boy, would be that of an imitator, wh<>
will make his trade on the brain capital
of other men.”
After this boy a quiet, round-faced lad
stepped on the platform and read a de
scription of chickens. The lad had
poultry yard of bis own, and gave his ob
servations on the habits, food and mar
ketable value of the breeds he knew.
