the first colored Chapter in the

One of the most pleasant features
of our trip to Wilmington was the j

The time for the dedication of that
beautifml little Africo-Presbyterian
church in Concord has been changed
from the 10th to the lflih. The dedica.
tion services will be had on Saturday j
the 18th at 11 o’clock, and the many
friends in our city and elsewhere will 1
govern themselves accordingly.
It is expected that many will go to
witness t()e ceremony and it was
thought best to have the exercises on
Saturday and sacrament on Sabbath
morning. Dr. Poore will be present
and conduct the ceremony.

The Wadstboro Fair.
The colored people’s fair comes off
at town of wadesboro on Tuesday
next. This is the second colored
association in the state now exist
ing. This is also the second exhibi

that the fair will be liberally patron
ized, espicially by the people of
1 Charlotte. We are glad to know
that Concord was well represented
' last year and that Scotia Seminary
contributed nobly of their handy
. work. It was not expected that the
■ young ladies should go themselves,
and we are glad to know they are
■ so much interested as to send in
' their drawings, penmanship, needle

A New Water Tower,
C. S. Petrie and John Ashworth,
members of the Chicago fire depart
ment, have invented a new water tower
for use at fires. It was successfully
tested Saturday. The apparatus is a
telesoopio stand-pipe water tower,
which is mounted on a heavy truck,
and, when not in use, the pipe lies near
ly horizontal, projecting a short dis
tance beyond the rear end of the truck.
It is raised to an upright position by
means of a screw operated by men
standing on the ground at the rear end
of the Muck. The two upper sections
of the telescope ate then raised by
means of a screw inside operated by
men standing upon the truck by means
of a'wheel. The pipe is turned in any
direction by means of another cog
wheel arrangement, and can also be
placed afranv aDgle, prop* one to four
engines pan be used, as occasion may
require. When raised to its full height
the distance from the ground to the
■top"of the tower is 65 feet. The pipe
is steadied by means of a guy rope
reaching from the top to the base.
New mceil Irop Making.
A new process of making iron was
described py Mr. Vaughan W. Jones be
fore the Manchester (England) Associa
tion of Employers. Foremen and
Draughtsmen at Mechanics' Institute.
The new process, known as Bull's,says
the London Ironmonger, employs no
carbon in the furnace, the latter being
charged with iron ore and Qux, usually
limestone only. The furnaoe Is worked
entirely with gas, delivered into it in a
very highly heated state from the pro
ducers. Ilighly-heated air is also intro
duced in sufficient quantities to burn
I about 10 per cent of the gas and main
tain the furnace at the high tempera
ture necessary to allow the withdrawal
of the iron or steel and ci. der in a fluid
state. Under this system the gases ris
ing through the ope and (lug are car
bonic Oglje and hydrogen in equal
volumes, together With nitrogen deriv
ed from the air, which had been blown
into the furnace. These gases being
produced entirely outside the furnace,
there le no xone of gasification in the
Sroduct, but only zones of fusion, re
uctlon and carbonization. The zone
of preparation is removed from the
furnace by an apparatus, together with
the system of heating the air, produc
ing the gas and constructing the cruci
ble to support the intense heat requir
ed. The output, it is olalmed. is In
creased by this process, and the amount
of fuel required Is reduced. Some ex
periments, tried st Sersing, are said to
have shown the latter facta quite satis
factorily.
“COCKROACH TEA.”
A Medical Preparation forKidner Dis
ease.
Phllade.pbla Record
A Philadelphia medical journal lug
J received a communication from a Lou
isiana physician, asking if there is any
virtue in tea made from fat female
cockroaches, brandy and sugar. The
following formula of a preparation used
by old women nurses in the South was
also furnished: “One dozen fat female
cockroaches, put into a pint of boiling
water (after being bruised); let stand a
couple of hours, thenßtrain well; add 2
tablespoonfuls of brandy and 3j of
crushed sugar; stir till thoroughly dis
solved. Two tablespoonfuls evt ry nour.”
The Professor of Materia Medica in
Jefferson College said last night that he
presumed that cockroaches were not
entirely unknown in the medical prac
tice in this city, and “cockroach tea”
may be used with good effect in cer
tain cases, although, owing to public
prejudice against the insect it would
uot be a popular medicine. The use of
.be cockroach as a diuretic in certain
cases is almost universal in Russia,
and is very general now in Europei n
medical practice as a cure for Bright’s
disease. To what extent it may be used
in Philadelphia is not known. Physi
cians would not care to have it known
that they prescribe so detested an in
sect in their practice, and few druggists
will acknowledge that they keep it in
stock. Its medicinal properties are in
many respects the same as those of
cantharides, and when prescribed are
in the shape of a pill, made with the
powder of the dried insect, or the “cock
roach” tea of the Southern “grannies.”
A Record reporter, who visited several
of the leading drug stores in the city
yesterday ana asked whether powdered
cockroaches were kept in their stock,
was told that they did not sell it, but
f that a prescription containing the act
ive principle (blattiden) can be easily
prepared by drying half a dozen of the
| animals and powdering them, so as to
make a pill, or a solution can, and occa
' sionally is, prepared by soaking fat fe
. male roaches in whiskey. The Proses
■ sor of Meteria Medica in Jefferson Col
-1 lege says that the cockroach ia no more
. offensive than the cantharides, which
are of the same class of animals, and
1 their smell is if anything less disgusting
t than the much used Spanish fly. Sever
, al physicians who were interviewed
1 yesterday on the subject said that, in
7 their opinion, it is only a matter of
time when cockroaches, or the active
i principle, will be in as common use in
this country as they are in Russia or
’ Central Europe.

I for the manufacture of cotton seed oil.
As a base of their fertilizers they pro

The enterprise will be operated by a
