Carrand engaged, a iwji for a month but he left town mysteriously and forgot an unpaid board bill and a valise con taining a gigantic infernal machine and a worn out suit of clothes. The dyna miter while at the hotel planned a sail-ing-party on lhe ocean, his departure canned the event to be po-tponod.

Sept. 18. .Vichael Fenian, living beyond Factoryville, Wyomirg county, near, the Nicholson tunnel, to-day roused out of four' of somnolence; broken only by semi-waking periods produced by pangs of hunger. .Fernan was for many years night watch man at the tunnel, and he worked a Kmall - farm on which he resides during the day. -" Finally he lecame so exhausted in his vitality that one morning whnn re turning he sank into profound sleep, from which he could not be aroused for several days. Doctors watched over him until hunger brought him to. After eating he again dozed away, and so it has been going for these four years," the man in all this time never uttering an intelligible sentence. ' The doctor ascribed the cause to over work and rthe dampness of the'tunnel through which he walked after the pas sage of every train. His health con tinuing good they left the sleeper to himself. HUH PRESEXCE OF MIXD. How She-Saved Her Hut and lave ... Delight to the Passengers. A rare iiece of presence of miud de ighted the passengers on a surface car one lainy night last week. It was ex hibited by. a girl in arlaoe gown and the very tiniest ' scrap bf a hat that ever called Paris home. No girl could have owned that liat and not loved it. That it had a firm hold on the wearer's affec tions was proved by the sequel. .; The girl and her escort had evidently beeYi to the theatre. Tuey were tira brellaless and apparently on terms of frank friendship. That a cab had been suggested and " declined was' learned from their merry talk. Finally the young man signaled the . conductor to stop, and turned to his charge. ' "We will make a run for it. . I am sorry for your hat," he said. - " 'Wait a minute," she answered. She calmly removed .the creation of silvor lace and pink roses from her head, tucked it under her wrap, replaced itby her companion's hat, .picked up her gown .and marched serenely from the' car, followed by a murmur of admiration from the passengers and a surprised, barehciidid young man.

WIOKXIXG OUT. The Manufacturers' Record has estab lished an ofllce In London. The Manufacturers' Record has estab lished an office in London, having recently sent over a member of its staff for that purpose. This step is brought about by the continued growth of Brit ish interests in Southern investments and the consequent expansiou of the circulation and influence of the -Manufacturers' Record in Great Britain. By means of its Louden connection English investors will be kept more thoroughly informed as to the. resources, the invest ment opportunities, and, the progress of development, in the South, while the South will le enabled to keep in touch with financial London. English inves iors and financiers on the one hand, and the owners of Southern properties and the projectors of Southern undertakings on the other, will be brought into close contact and made better acquainted.

It -is the State of All Others tor Rare 31inerals. .North Carolina is the State of all oth ers for rare minerals. The preface of -Bnlletin 74 of the United Slates Geolog ical Survey says that since 1881 "a goodly number of species have been added to the list," and that minerals formerly supposed to be rare are now found abun dantly and have acquired commercial importance. '-For example, in response to an industrial demand, North Carolina i has supplied zireon and menagite by the ton, and samaiskite by the hundred weight, and the output can be. increased almost indefinitely. The State has also contributed to science several new speci mens as yet not found elsewhere, and some of these, notably among the ver miculites, are significant for the light they' shed upon other associated vmin nerals." " - The commercial demand referred to comes from the manufacturers of the Welsbach light. This invention con sists in saturating a fine film of silk with a solution of these minerals. This is placed over the flame of a common Argand lamp, the heat from which de stroys the silk, but leaves the mineral net work intact. The peculiar quality of these minerals is that they, absorb certain of the colored rays, and give a purej bright, white light, like that of the sun. Since- the Welsbach lamp has been introduced in London it has dis placed all other illuminators for the use o cnemistsand niieroscoriists, for it is more steady and reliable than any other, bright daylight not excepted. The one trouble thus far lias been that the film would not bear transportation, but re cently the manufacturers think they have overcome this by incasing it in solidified petroleum. When the film, thus protected is put in position, the flame quickly burns away the coating as well as the silk. Should this prove to be practicable, then the demand "for these minerals will draw heavily on North Carolina's great supply. Manu facturers' Record. Saving Her IJoys- I think when a boy lias become an habitual loafer he is then ready for some thing worse, and I was greatly worried to find my boys come slipping iu very quietly about the time the stores closed for the night, so I just resolved to try and make a pleasanter place to spend the evening than the aforesaid stores. Our best room had hitherto been kept sacred to the use of visitors, and for Sabbath; but after thinking Vie matter over very seriously I started the fire, arranged everything nicely as though I were looking for company, and then just let the boys have it. So far the plan has been a great success, for, although I never said a work to them about it, they took right up with it; and now spend their evenings at home leading, playing (for they are all three musical), . and besides being letter for the boys it is better for us. . Now, sisters, just between ourselves, of course they'll spoil the carpet, and its a pretty carpet, too, and I have been so careful of it. But I mean through God's help to have my boys all grow -up to become good men, and if its going to take a pretty room and pretty carpets to help do it, why T am very glad I have them, that's all.

The abundance of money here was increased yesterday by the payment of 1,000,000 on Treasury bills, which also added to the' ease of discount, the rates closing at for three months and 1 for short. A hardening of rates is expected to set in soon, as the German demand for gold has revived on tle weaker rates here and the considerable amounts of bullion going from ti e Continent to the United States to pay for the influx of American gi ain.

Moore, of Galveston, special from that city says, proposes to undertake the shipment of a log raft from Galveston to Loudon aa an experi ment.. He has consulted some of the oldest sia captains in America, men who unite in the belief that the expert men! will prove successful. Mr. Moore believes that there is less risk in shipping a, log raft from Gr.dyes ton to London than from St. John to New York. A raft from Galveston to London would not encounter the severe storms and seas incident from the coast Mr: Moore proposes to have the raft ready to start late in July of next year, Three months wall tva consumed in making the raft. Ii will consist of three sectioac finuly spiked together after the fashion of a catamaran. The raft will be constructed in Gal veston haiyc, and towed across the ocean, by the steam tug Storm King and an ocean tramp steamer of 3,000 tons belonging to Leyland, & Co., of Liver pool, Tho raft is to consist of Texas yellow pine, and is " intended for ship and house building.

TIIROrOH THK SOUTH. The Largest-Grain Crops- fnr 3Iany Years Other Advances. The Mamifactnrera Record "savs the recent advance in cctton, and tho assur ance of the largest grain crops for many years, have still further strengthened the position of the South in all business -and financial matters, and everything in dicates a very active winter and spring. The tendency of capital scckingMn vestmeut must inevitably be Southward, for no other country possesses such wonderful resources, and nowhere else are the possibilities of profitable devel opment so promising. The increasing importance of the South s foreign trade and the jiosition 0f Southern poits as the future outlet for the grain of the West is illustrated by the fact that CJal veston is to have 1,000,000 bushel elevator and New Orleans one f 300,000 bushels ca pacity, while the grain trade at Norfolk has developed so rapidly that the eleva tor there has been unable to handle the business, and a floating elevator has been sc cored from New York, and even one of the big coal piers is being used in helping to transfer the immense traffic from the cars to the steamships, while some days ago the Norfolk & Western had nearly 000 grain -loaded ears on the track at Norfolk. This rapid growth of the exjiort busi ness of the South, added to the indus trial development that lias been going ou for the last few ycars.will greatly en hance the prosderi ty of this whole section . New industrial enterprises are daily being organised, and as this is not a speculative period, they must all be of a solid character. Among the number re ported in this week's issue of the Manu facturers' Record are the purchase of 190 acres of land near Basic City, Va., as a locaiion for powder and cartridge works, to employ, it ts said, 500 hands; the organization of a 400,000 phosphate company in Charleston; a SI. 000,000 improvement aud development company in Fort Smith, Ark. : a $25,000 quarry- company and a $50,000 lumber company, in Virginia; a $50,000 , brick company and $50,000 coal company in Kentucky; a $100,000 grate manufacturing company and a $10,000 lumber company in Knox ville; a $75,000 cottonseed-oil mill in Dallas, Texas; a $75,000 company for shipping fish frozen in ice from Florida to the North; a $30,000 lumber company in West Virginia; a $50,000 manufacture ing company and a large cold-storage warehouse, in Baltimore.
