For the year ending December 31, 1893, we imported 55, 504 tons of wood pulp. An illustration of the severity ot the times is found by the New York Inde pendent in the fact that two physicians lately advertised in a daily papers t,f fering $5000 to a man who weiHcl sub mit to an experimental surgical opera tion involving some risk. One hundred and forty-two answers were received. The growing fashion of naming private residences calls to mind tht story told by Kirk Munroe of a witty women who lived in an old-fahiotted, qniet New England town, relates the New York Independent. She wrote a note, in response to an imitation to tea, dated at "The Elms," or soma such name, newly given by new comers to the old homestead they had jnst acquired, and dated her reply from "The Rhubarbs." "For," as she said, "it would never do not to call onr place by Rome distinctive name, and there's more rhnberb than anything oVse in our back yard.' Argentine is the mot advanced ot ajl the Stales in South America, said Bishop John T. Newman recently. Its magnificent domain extends from the frontier of Bolivia to Cape Horn, in cluding Patagonia and Terra del Ftt enro. and from the Atlantic to the base o the Cordilleras. It is rich A all things which give substantial wealth to a Nation. The rivers are navigable 1000 miles into the interior. Shep herds feed more than 70, 000, 000 sheep and half that nnmber of horses and horned cattle on the vaat pampas. Their value is estimated at 260,000, 000 in gold. In the mountains are gold, silver, copper, lead, coal and iron which await the coming of ft su perior system of mining. Buenos Ayres is a city as large and elegant as Boston. Its parks and palaces, fash ionable drives and gorgeous equipages would adorn Fifth avenue. What is the chief fur-bearing animal of the world ? muses the New York Tribune, Judged by the standard of fiohlon, perhaps the much-vexed seal, while on the ground of aristocratic ex clusiveness the Russian sable may head the list. But, in point of numbers, none can compare with our own famil iar muskrat, which every country lad whose life has lien worth the living has captured in a trap submerged in a frost-bound brook, and stretched its skin to dry upon a pointed shingle. The other day there was a great fur sale in London. In four days, at one auction house, more than 3,000,000 skins were sold ; and r-f these more than one-half to be exact, 1,528,000 - were muskrat. Next iu number came opossum skins, 500,000 from Australia and 120,000 from America; while the odorous skunk and sportive raccoon furnished 240,000, and the sly little mink 150,000 more. By tho side of these there were only 2(5 47 Russian sables, 1400 beavers and a score of polar bears. The list of furs com prised also benrs of several kinds, martens, wolves, foxes, lambs, chin chillas, monkeys, kangaroos and others. Vast as was this sale, it was only one of several of equal magnitude held during the season, the millions of pelts being gathered from all the world to London, aud thence re-distributed to well-nigh every land. Th annual rep."tt of fir? of ths Board of Fire Un lerwriters, of New York Citv, contains s in inter j-i'iu ? statistical information.

The Red Cross has Hearty Accomplished the Relief of the Sea Islands. Charleston, S. C. Here is a letter from Clara Barton, president of Amer ican National Red Cross Association, toaching on her work In the Sea Is land region of South Carolina, which was devastated by last August's cveione. The letter is dated Ffebtrary 23rd and is addressed. "Tb our Generous Friends, the. Public," as follows: 'On the first day of October, 1893, we accepted the sacred trust of taking care of the Sea Inlands of sSonth Caro lina, storm-w reckl by the cyclone of August 27 From time to time we have issued statements of the conditions of the people and the progrees of relief. January 1st, we published our Mldfield report, giving G fit-curate exposition of the field; the statements therein con tained speak for themselves.

SkyLanl' Tames R. Randall writes thus of Western North Carolina in the March number of the SoutherU Plates nisgA 2!ne, of Baltimore, Md.: And what A valiant exaltation the ch'll breath of theozone-ladened breeze fixes in our blood, and what roses in onr cheeks! How we dominate with resistless stride the pedestrian paths, or how we credit the fable of the Cfutaur, when, in the fervor of en 7'it'Pment, we pnrt-ike of the joy and vry existence of the nimble steed we have bestrode adventurously! In other climes and with other surroundings we have felt languor, or dullness, or restive incapacity, but here, with the potent inspiration of the panorama and the atmosphere, onr whole being bounds with daring briskness and mastering activity. In the overwhelming sense of powerful forces put in piny, e do not ask if life be worth living, but thank God that we are alive and filled with the alchemy of Sky Land. When these agencies react and demand the unbent bow, we lounge, it may be on the porches of the grand hotel, with eyes restful upon Pisgah and the en ormous petrifaction of the rat that t! ever budges f i om its lair. Perchance, with appetite made robust and un deniable, we nttack the toothsome repast provided, but ever and anon we glance through the big windows at the splendid pictures beyond, as if we were afraid that some stray expression of the amphitheatre would escape us unaware. We stroll, happy and sat isfied, to the piaz?a, ami roll in an easy chair, puffing at pipe or cigar, but never ceasing to confront admir ingly the scenes that intoxicated us from the first The 6nn has driven its fierv, glowing chariot bevond the vast barrier of loam and basalt, but left a sparkling, glowing, radiant wake be hind. The clouds are blushing like traditional brides, and the sorcerer of the sky has grouped them among shin- iijg lakes and islands and witching perspective that this inimitable artist alone can fashion and dissolve. You presently understand haw the poet merely revealed what he had seen when N'gbt dropped her crimson mantle and pinned it with a star. And it was no exaggeration when the grim Carlyle bade ns witness how Bootes drags his reluctant dogs in a leash of sidereal fire, or how mailed Orion flames his plumes 'mid bTight-battalioned planets. As the mvstic dusk robes the familiar scenery with a pall, we hear the insect world, if it be the proper season, con versing in a thousand tongues, startled anon by the shrill cry of a night bird, a)d possibly we wonder if the momen tary shadow on the o,-b of the moon was he vagrant pinioo of Mieerva's bird, or the flashing stroke of the eagle, put to flight from his eyiy slumber.

(N. Y. Sun.) Duck right at Ewell's store, down on the Virginia coast near the North Carolina line, is locally famous in the ducking season as the special night in the week when the storekeeper in t home to the duck hunters of the region. Ewell buys the ducks of the hunters, paying for the game in goods from his store, and shipping his purchases to an p-coast life-saving station, whence they find their way to the markets of Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York. As Ewell waits behind his counter with a lantern, the duckers, rude-looking fellows of the beach comber type, drop in one by one and sit around in the gloom. Ewell hangs the game in a cold room at the rear of the store and credits each ducker with the agreed value of his ducks. As each transaction is made the ducker recalls something that he needs from the mer chant's stock, and when he has received the article the price is debited against his credit. The ducker then relapses to the nearest barrel or box and waits until some other needed article shall occur to his mind. He then makes the new demand upon the merchant, has a new debit placed against his credit, and again slinks back into the gloom, r After fully two hours of this sort of thing, those who wish the bal ance of their credit paid in cash receive their dues, and everybody caution.dy repairs to a hollow tree hard by, where moonshiners from over the North Car olina line are waiting with a fiery ar ticle of untaxed liquor, and the heart of the ducker is made glad.

Of this about 25,000 bales are anuuallv marketed in the town of Anderson; w!i-ie there 15 but one cot ton mill, consuming about 5-:;000 bales. Th cotton produced in this section is of the best grade of uplands, owing in the main, perhaps, to its be ing harvested by white farmers or un der their immediate supervision. There is just now a paiticularly good opeuing at Anderson for two or more cotton mills owing to their capacity.

The same railroads offer facilities for shipping the manu factured goods cither southward to Charleston.

All it requires to make it reasonably sure is that at least 500 of its horse power, in addition to to that already spoken for, should be taken up or en gaged. B. F. W. News Notes from Georgia.

POtTH CAROLINA. EXECT-TIVE CHAMBER; Colcmbi a, S. C, March 5. Yours asking "a brief expression ti pinion upon the importance of the early completion of the Nicaraguan Canal, and as to whether the govern ment should or should not give finan cial aid to it," reached me yesterday. To the first proposition I presume there can be but one answer from any intelligent, progressive man. The ca nal, which will give the means of trans porting vessels across or through the isthmus which divides North and South America, must necessarily be as great boon to commerce as the Suez Canal, and the Nicaraguan Canal will become more and more valuable as the western slopes of North America become thick ly peopled. To the people of the Mis sissippi valley and the entire south At lantic slope the advantages and possi bility it offers are inestimable. Now, as to whether the government should lend aid or not will depend upon the conditions of the grant. If we are to have a repetition of the steals perpe trated in connection with the Pacific railroads I should oppose Congress lending any aid, but with the proper precautions to prevent jobbery and guarantees against robbery, I think Congress can do no better than assist in joining the waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific by means of this con templated waterway.

James Russell, aged 21, persisted iu using a horse collar which his brother John, aged 19, forbade his using. Alter hot words John went to the house, fired a load of bird shot out of his gun, loaded it with buckshot and sought James, threatening to kill him. The latter presented his hi east and tcld him to shoot. John attemped to fire, the cap popped but no discharge followed. James then slightly advanced toward John, who then with an oath remarked he'd shoot him anyway, and filed the other barrel.
