I, | |||M |,jj 1_ _ A very interesting article is pub . lishcd to day on the development of , the South. The attention of the readers of The Post is directed to it. ——————— The Post is in receipt of a com munication on “street grading,” ] which it will be glad to publish if . the writer will send his name. Yesterday was bright and bcauti- | full after the week of rain we have | just had. A day well calculated to make a man thankful that he was living. 1 The New Orleans cotton exchang- ” 1 makes the cotton crop market 7,311, ( 322 bales, the largest ever produced by 373,032 bales. Os this the South * consumed 546,303 bales, against 481,242 last year, an increase of 189 per cent, in the number of bales con 1 sumed in the South. The South has x 270 mills and 1,005,019 spindles. 1 Mr. J. A. Carroll, who has been the city editor of Tint Post since its first issue in April, resigned his po- ( sltion last Saturday to go into the g insurance business. Mr. Carroll is t c. young man of fine business attain y ments and will doubtless do well in the business he has chosen. The Post wishes him unbounded success. r The: Cincinnati Commercial-Ga- ’ zette which has been howling for many years about the oppression of * the colored people in the Southern 1 States* practically admits that what it has been saying all along was not true. “The colored man seems to be getting along,” it says in a late is sue. “Richmond, Birmingham and Chattanooga have banks, each oper ated by negroes, with paid up capi tals each of 150,000. There is also a bank run by representative colored business men at Atlanta, Ga., with a paid-up capital of $13,000. The three banks first named are officered by leading and reliable citizens in their respective communities.” “We have no bank in Charleston operated by negroes,” says the Charleston News and Courier, but there is doubt, less not one of the many banking institutions in the city which bus not a respectable number of colored depositors. In one of the banks one colored man has $15,000 to his credit I and there are numbers of smaller colored depositors. It is not going | too far to say that the colored peo- I pie of Charleston can command more ready’ money than the colored people of any other Southern city. SHOULD BE HANGED. The man who tries to wreck a train should be hanged. There have been a number of at tempts to wreck trains on the New York Central since the strike began and last Thursday one so far sue reeded, that a train crowded with passengers and running at full speed, was thrown from the track, and a terrible disaster was missed by the most narrow chance imaginable. But for the testimony of fact, it would be inconceivable that men could anywhere be guilty of a crime ' so cruel, so dastardly, so infamous, and there ought to be means of 1 promptly putting to death any and ' everybody guilty of it. When crime of this character, closely follows a strike, as in this case, it is the highest duty of the ‘ strikers and their labor organizations , to give emphasis to their detests- <! tiofi of such infamies by reuderiug ’ all possible aid in discovering the lai sere ants. .

But I we must not hope for a definite result 1 any more at Vichy than elsewhere. Mineral waters modify and check the I Course of diabetes, but so far as we know it is very seldom that they cure it. ; Vichy is especially suitable for dia- ] betic patients who are fat and bloom- ! big, for persons with vigorous consti tutions, apparently in good health and without bronchitis or other oomplica- . tions. As a general thing every acct- f dent or complication of diabetes ap pears to me to be a counter indication ( to the use of mineral waters, and espe- | daily those of Vichv.

About Sharpening a Knife. It is a good deal easier to spoil a knife than to sharpen it. To begin with, a rough stone is used too freely. Unless a knife has a very round or raggisl edge it does not want any grinding at all, and it can be brought into sba|s' fur more rapidly and surely by the aid of a whetstone and a little oil. It is no use laying the blade flat the stone and rubbing hard; hold the back of the knife well up and sluu-|s-n the edge of the blade only. If you know how to use it, the buck of a knife makes an excellent steel 04 shar|«-iu r, but the secret is hard to iu quire.- Exeliungc. ftpeiisKe < h-MUiMg.

Canadian farmers, having been trou bled sorely for many years by wolves and coyotes, are taking determin.-.l [ steps toward ridding themselves of ] ] these pests. The Canadian wolves are ] not particularly ferocious, but they are j sufficiently bold to be a constant men- i i ace to the flocks and herds. Dogs have b<*ou utilized for tlie protection of the ■ sheep and cattle, but it remained for I Sir .John Lister Kaye to iuqiort a num- I her <>f Belgian. French and .Scotch 1 ■ hounds for the special purpose of hunt-, , ingand exterminating the wolves. The j ex[s*riinent has been attended with j fair success, but it is discovered that , more effectual service would lie done jf the dogs were capable of greater sjM'ed. I With a view, therefore, of insuring ■ the desired fleefiiessMr. Dan Gordon, of j Ottawa, has bought two of the fastest i and best bred greyhounds in England, I and be e\(M-cts tosecurcby means of ju I dieious crossing of breeds splendid dogs I I for wolf hunting. 'Die wolf nuisance in Canada is more serious than we sup 1 pose; in one day seventeen of the beasts I were killed by a party of three men who scouted over the Cochrane ranch. To Russia, however, must we go to find wolves of singular ferocity and in large numbers. Seventy thousand were killed in the Vologda and Casan districts in 1889. It is officially estimated that I*o,ooo are still running at large in Russia, and they multiply exceedingly fast. Eugene Field in Chicago News. T!w Power of the Moonstone. Tlierc is a j«*rfect mania for moon stones, not always to be worn as orna ments, but to be carried about the per son rs a temptation to good fortune and success. To show how deep seated is this Is-lief I will quote from a letter received by a dealer in gems from an unlucky artist: “Having heard of your wonderful fortune compelling moon stones 1 send immediately for one. hop ing that it may dissipate the ill luck that has followed me for some time. Though not a believer in necromancy I am inclined to accept this with my whole heart. If you can add an extra charm to it 1 will remain your debtor for lifu," Once in a while one catches a glimpse of a humorous side to this superstition, as in the case of a well known newspa per man who, being in love witli a young woman many years his junior, di<l not dare to try his fate until he bad ' a moonstone which held a “magic mir ' ror.” Qne wae easily found for him, : and it must have brought him the cov eted suocese, oince he was married . ] within six months to the "object" of | j his adoration. -Bally Joy White. Proving' Hie Kurth’s Shape. I ■ It was not until 1669 that Picard, under the auspices of the French Acad emy of Sciences, reduced the degree to anything like a certainty. His plan was to connect two points by a series 'of triangles, thus ascertaining the 1 ] length of the arc of a meridian inter-; | coptisl between them, to compare it with the difference of latitudes found by making celestial observations. The stations used were Melvoisine, in the vicinity of Paris, and Bourdon, near Amiens. While these measurements | were being made a discussion arose as | to the interpretation of them, some af ' drilling that they indicated a prolate, ' others an oblate spheroid. The former figure may be popularly I represented by’ a lemon, the latter by ]an orange. To prove which was right ; Picard's observations were extended far j to the north and south, one expedition s going to Peru, the other to Lapland, i The Peruvian expedition worked nine I years on the question, tlie Lapland ' about five. The results of the meas- f ] liras thus obtained confirmed the theo- ' I retical expectations of the oblate form, i —St. Louis Republic. Ju a Loudon Drug Store. There is a wide difference between the London ding stores and ours. There is no such craze for patent medi cines there as here, and there is noth ing like the American inclination for every’ man to be his own doctor. An , English druggist sells face powder, co- • logne, soap, tooth brushes, patent pills and the like, but his main business is putting up prescriptions, lie has no clientele of men who drop in for a lit tle aromatic spirits of ammonia after a night of dissipation, or for acid phos phate after too much smoking, or for j tincture of iron and so many grains of quinine, or a glass of Calisaya for a tonic, or a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda to offset a too hearty meal. All I that which so enriches our druggists I is unknown in England.—Julian Ralph I in Harper’s Weekly. CHARGES JIODERATE. r “ j-> v.
