AH that day we passed walled towns,

as a rule there was a still, desolate air
over everything.
Next day we passed close to the walled
town of Nganking. It wore a peaceful
air in the early-morning the drooping
.willows and brown sails of the fishing
junks beneath the old gray wall, and
the slender pagodos, and the quaint joss
houses within the city, rising from amid

Nathaniel Macon. ;
Helow we publish an extract from tbe
Chicago Times, on Nathaniel Macon, of
North Carolina, who was the best and
truest friend of John Randolph, of Roa
noke, whom Randolph considered the
ablest man of his day an Congress. Well
may North Carolina be proud of her sons:
"A recent Washington letter to a New
York paper, referring to the late Mr.
Kelly as Father of the House, after call
ing attention to the long terms of service
in Congress by the Adamses, Benton,
Henry Clay, John Sherman, aud others,
several of whom, . besides Judge Kelly,
has been called Father of the House, con
tains the following interesting remin
iscences of a distinguished North Caro
linian :,
"The most noted Father of the House
and Senate of the past, however, ws a
man altogether forgotten now. His
name was Nathaniel Macon, and Jeffer
son called him 'the last of the Romans.'
He was a Democrat from North Caroli
na, and ho had a political career of more
than fifty-seven years. He resigned from
the Sonate when ho was eighty years old
and died at eighty-nine. He was for
forty years In Congress, and during the
whole of his career he never recommend
ed a relative to office. He left Princeton
College at eighteen to go into the Revo
lutionary war as a private, and he re
futed to be a candidate for the Vice
Presidenoy with Van Buren. He wat a
Uag time Speaker of the House, and
frerved as a Representative in Congress
under Washington, Adams, Jefferson and
Madison, and as Senator under Madison,
Monroe and John Quincv Adams. He
Was a brave man, and a great friend of
John Kandolph, for whom he drew a
knife to defend him when he was at
tacked in the theatre in Philadelphia.
xxo was a crank as to areas, and he al
ways wore navy-blue clothes cut in the
style of Revolutionary days. His panta
loons were always inside his boots and he
Wore the finest of linen and the finest of
fur hats. Thomas Benton speaks of him
fa th highest terms, and sets him up
before the world as a model statesman."
A Dollar Worth $850.
A fact of great interest to numismatists
is the finding oPihe missing silver dollar
6fl804. Only four silver disks of this
date were ever put into circulation, and
for years the whereabouts of the fourth
4ns been eagerly Searched for, the owners
6f the other three" being known. Of
course the limited number gave the sil
ver quartet a fancy price in the eyes of
coin collectors, and they have been held
at, relatively speaking, enormous figures.
Many people throughout the country
have religiously looked at the date of
every dollar received in the hone of find
ing the valuable dollar. A few days
ago f)r. Edward Walther walked Into
the Commercial National Bank and pro
duceed the sought-for piece. He had
foundJt in the southern part of the State,
where it had reposed, no-one knows how
long, in the stocking of a Norwegian.
The doctor parted with $150 in current
bills to obtain the treasure; but as the
dollar is listed by coin dealers at $850 he
will hardly be a loser by the operation.
At present he announces a determina
tion to keep it, but the temptations of
ardent numismatists may cause him to
Change his mind. Bank officials state
that there is no question of its genuine
ness. St. Louia rionccr Press.

Every Description.
Every county in tbe United States It
supplied more or lest with ladies'
.cloaks mado in tho city of New York,
says tho bun of that city. Exports esti
mate tho total value of ladies' cloaks
produced in the United States at $40,
000,000 to $50,000,000 a year. About
throe-fourths of tbe manufacturing of
these cloaks is done in tho city of New
York. Chicaifo comes next, Cloveland
next. Boston. Philadelphia and Cincln
natfdo still smaller cloak business. In
tho last seventeen years tho cloaks have
driven shawls steadily out of Jthe
market, until thoy have almost disap
peared. There is about $25,000,000
capital invested in tho ladies' oloak
business of tho United States. About
$7,000,000 a year is paid in wages to tbe
workmon. To make $50,000,000 worth
of cloaks uses up about $35,000,000 worth
of domestic goods and trimmings ovory
year. About ono-balt of the entire
ladies' cloak business of tho United
States is done by five bousos in tho city
of Now York, and thore is probably
no business which has had such a sud
don and vigorous growth as this ono.
The process of manufacture is anal
agous to that of roady-mado clothing
for men. First tho pattornsaro cut in
stiff papor. Tbon tho garments are cut
out with tho cutting-maobin or with
tho shears. Then tho bundles are mado
up for-tho tailor, with appropriate trim
mings for oach garment. Then tho
goods are givon out to tho tailors, who
have thoir shops, with from ton to fifty
iiion, in various parts of tho oity, and
thoy sow up tho oloaks by oontraot. All
theso prooossos aro oarriod on with an
economical division of labor. The
avorago women wondor why so many
stores havo tho samo stylo, out and
material of oloaks. Tho fact may be
that all tho stores aro compelled to buy
ono pattern of ono groat manufactur
ing houso that has happonod to make a
hit. Tho processes of manufacturing
are so rapid that tho moment there is a
domand for ono style tho supply comes
from various manufacturers. But where
tho fashion runs to a particular quality
of goods tho chanoes are that ono
houso has tho good fortune to have pre
empted the availablo stock of that par
ticular mako of goods, so that other
manufacturers who wish to got any will
have to wait for tho product of the
mills.
There aro two distinct branches of
the oloak business. Ono is tho regular
whclosale trade, for which goods are
sold by samples through traveling
salesmen all over the country. The
other part is the special order depart
ment where goods aro made np to
meet the ideas of onstOmors who order
special styles. One honsojeeeps .'twelve
traveling salosmen who make three
trips a year scattering samples in every
State in the Union. Tho largest houses

A few f safe age tbore was a large ira
porta ?lh of emoreidofcA oloaks that
was vrj popular, but the Only reason
4he work; was done abroad was because
the requisite skilled labor could not be
obtained in this Conn try. Since thai
time there has been great improvement

erobroidejring, in which the French ex

ereased, uhiil how the best embroidered
French goods can bo quickly reproduced

Tho wholesale season for spring goods
Is from January to April. The season
for fall goods is from July to November.
Iktoit of tbo work of tho wholesale men
after October 15 is to fill reorders for
goods that havo met with unexpected
success.
It ia within the past seventeen years
that tho American manufacturers of
cloaks havo knocked oil about nino
tenths of the importations of manufact
ured goods. All the patterns of Paris,
Berlin or Vienna are -quickly repro
duced in this market with American
modifications and additions, and tho
trimmings havo of lato years been pro
duced with great success.
It is a bewildering sight to go through
a big cloak houso and soo how they do
business. Tho cloaks aro hang on racks,
say a dozen stylos on a rack, so that the
purchaser may walk along and see tho
cloaks at a glance. If he wants to see
how the cloak would look In actual
wear, there are splendidly formed young
women in attendance to try oft the
cloaks. It is a common observation of
the customer that theso young women
are themselves so attractive that al
most any garment would look woll 6n
them. But tho dealer always replies
that it would be equally unfair for hijn
to employ a humpbacked or ugly girl tq
show Off Sis cloaks.
Tho cloak manufacturers havo done
very much to dress women well and
comfortably. The women who are con
tent to wear garments only a little out
of styl? can buy very nicely made and
comfortable cloaks at very low prices,
and in many cases for the actual cost of
the goods, while those who demand the
latest fashion aro supplied at prices
which baffle the possibility of homo
'matc imitations.

A Ceremony TIcI-l In Oreftt Reverence
Amonir tlio Sioax.
Kot long ago several hundred Sioux
Indians held a grand "ghost feast" in tho
vicinity of Fort Lincoln, Dakota, and the
few whites who witnessed tho ceremo
nies wore highly interested. t
This curious feast is held in great
reverence among tho Sioux, but it will
soon be abolished by order of the In
dian Bureau, and, like the great "sun
dance," be buried with tho traditions of
tho past
The feast is givon by tho relatives of
those who havo died or been killed in
battlo. At tho Fort Lincoln feast there
were six "ghosts," represented by six
stakes about four feet in length, set
up in the ground within tho modicino
lodgo.
s A pieco of buckskin was sowed over
the top of tho stakes, upon which wore
marked eyos, nose and mouth, to rep
resent tho hoad. Fifteen Indians, with
the big medicine man of tho village,
were soatod in a teepee, smoking, but
rarely speaking to oach other. Some live
coals wore brought and placed before
the medicine man, who throw upon
them wild sago brush, and holding somo
pommican in tho smoke chanted a weird
song.
Littlo children were brought in and
givon this moat to eat, and somo had
thoir cars pierced. Tho pommican was
also givon to . tho others in tho lodge,
and somo was placed at tho feot of the
ghosts.
Outsido tho lodgo hundreds of In
dians wore gathorod, forming small,
circular groups of a dozen or so, bucks,
squaws and children in their respective
places.
Around tho outsido of tho modicino
lodgo horizontal polos wore placed, and
to these tho presents which tho ghosts
were to distributo woro suspended, con
sisting of blankets, leggins, beaded
moccasins, tobacco bags and eagle
feathers. After remaining for some
time in viow they woro removed and
placed about the ghosts in tho lodgo.
Tho relatives now entorod tho lodgo
to commune with tho departod spirits,
and tho presonts wore distributed to tho
favored onos.
The squaws sung and cried, and made
great exhibition of their griof. Thoy
cut their fiosh with knives, suffering
excruciating pains without a murmur to
appeaso the wrath of tho evil spirit, so
that their loved ones may be joyfulin
tho happy hunting grounds.
Upon the conclusion of the feast the
lodgo was taken down and tho naked
ghost3 left standing.

How the Attractions of a Military Ufp
Wert SuiUltmly DiasipatntL
Recently, says the Pittsburgh Times,
a man slightly under the inlluonco of
liquor approached the guard standing at
the door of the recruiting station of the
United States army, Pcnn avenue, and,
addressing tho soldier, said:
"Is this the place to enlist in tho
army?"
"Yes, sir," replied tho uniformed gen
tleman. "I boliove that T would like to enlist
and go to the Allegheny arsenal at Law
rencevillo. That is a pretty nico place,
and I think tho soldiers have a pretty
soft snap."
"But why do you want to join tho
army?" asked the soldier. "Are you in
trouble and wish to withdraw from the
world and drown your sorrow in tho
quiet life of a soldier, or are you out of
employment and disheartened?1'
"Neither of theso," said the applicant
for army honors. "I have been a hard
working man al 1 my life, and now I want
to take a rest and I know of no softer
snap than to be a soldier."
"Well, now, just listen one moment
and I will explain tho matter to you. In
the first place tho chances are ten to one
that if you enlist you will regret it
within threo months and then wish you
were back in Pittsburgh. There is no
way of getting back until your tlmo is
expired, and if you desert and come
back you will bo retaken, court-martialed
and sentenced to undergo impris
onment at hard labor for flvo years.
None but thoso of Ion? service can get
an opportunity to como to Pittsburgh
and be stationed at tho arse nal or re
cruiting stations. You would be sent
West, and be compelled to do sentinel
duty at the camp, and be out in all kinds
of woather, with no beer or whisky to
drive out the frost and dampness."
"Well," said tho applicant with sur-prise-
"if that is the caso I do n't believe
that I want to become a soldier. I am
very much obliged to you for your in
formation. I shall go back to my trade
and cut stone. Ooodbyo. If you find
me back here acainJkick mo out, will
you?"
With theso words he left, but came
back again and asked tho guard to como
out and have a drinks Nothing damps
the ardor of applicants for military hon
ors more than to describo tho realities
of soldier life.
A Surprised Book-Uuycr.
The Maine Farmer tells a story of an
old-timo trader in Augusta who long
since passed away. Happening into a
book auction sale in Boston, his atten
tion was at once attracted to tho taking
title of a book which the auctioneer
was then offering, and which he an
nounced as "Saving Interest." This
was just the tock he wanted. Turning
to a friend he remarked -that he had
probably lost hundreds of dollars in in
terest, and if there was any way to save
it he wanted to know it. So ho bid a
good round sum and tho book was
knocked down to Lim. Judge of tbe
surprise of the old man when on open
ing the volume and reading its full title
he found it to bo "Saving Interest in
Christ."

Who C onsume a Haudred Cig
arettes Each Day.
Tho baby smokers of tho world aro
found in Siam and Burmahr writes F. O.
Carpenter ia the Iouisvillo Courier
Journal. I saw little tots of four, as
naked as on tho day thoy wore born,
trotting about Bangkok with cigarettes
in tbeir mouths, and the babies of Ran
goon and landalay aro taught to chow
tho betel nut, mixed wiih tobacco, as
soon as they aro woancd. Tho Siamoso
children, like their fathers, use thoh
ears as cigarctto and cigar-holdors, and
tho lack of clothing and pockots onths
part of tho little ones necessitates thcit
carrying theso articles over thoir oars,
as tho American clerk carries his pencil
or pon. I saw ono noblo Siamoso boy
with a shaved head end a string about
his waist, who had a cigarotto over each
ear and anothor in hij mouth. After a
few raomont3 ho throw away tho oigar
ette in his mouth and began to chow
betel, squirting out tho blood-red saliva
until ho mado a puddie in tho road be
side him. His fathor, who was with
him, was also smoking, and his mother
had a cigarotto between hor lip3. Whon
tho party wont away tho mother took
up tho nakod smoking boy, and balancing
him on her hip, walked off, both smok
ing as they wont. Tho thousand odd
women who mako up tho harem Of the
Siamoso King all smoko and chow, and
it takos a good part of hi3 Majesty'3 ton
million dollars a year to pay his tobacco
bill. Each lady has to have hor betel
spittoon, which is of decorated china,
the sizo of a cofloo cup, and, if she is a
favorite, sho has also a silvor box in
which to carry hor tobacco and botol
nut.
Tho women of Burmah, like the
smokers of Slam, uso thoir ear3 as
cigar-holders, but thoy uso thorn in a
dilTorent way. Every Burmeso girl
prides horself on tho sizo of tho hole
she can mako in tho lobes of her ears,
and I have seen Burmese ears which
had holes in thorn a3 big around as a
napkin ring. Theso holes aro mado
when tho girls are young, and tho lobe
both stretches and grows until it gets
as big around as tho thumb of a big
boned man. Into theso holes some of
tho poorer women of Burmah put their
cigarettes or cigars when they move
from ono place to anotber. Cigars are
more used than any thing elso, and tho
Burmese cigar is tho biggest of its kind
in general use. It is from eight to ton
inches long, and is often more than an
inch in diametor. The Burmese women
are very beautiful, and even their big
cigars can not tako away tho bGauty of
thoir juicy red lips. Tbey mako the
mouth look a little largo while they are
in them, but it resumes its natural size
when tho young lady, holding tho cigar
between her two first fingers, b'.ows the
smoke out in a stream. It is not unusual
for a Burmese maiden to mako her lover
a bundle of cigars as a present during
their courtship, and some of the best of
tho Burmeso imported cigars are made
by women. Thoy havo their cigar
booths in tho bazars, and thoy know how
to sell at a profit. The Burmese always
smoke after moals, and they chew the
betel nut at tho same time that they
smoke, though many of thnm only chew
in the intervals between the smokes.
The Buddhlrt priests of tfiam and Bur
mah are inveterate smokers, and a com
mon sight is a crowd of bare-headed,
ehftved-pated men In yollow gowns trot
ting along with cigars or cigarettes in
their mouths and with bowls in their
hands going around to collect the offer
ings of rice which tho people give thesa
for their sustenance.
The Burmese aro vry social in their
smoking, and I saw cigars passed from
ono sweet maiden to another in the
bazars, and I saw a young man accept
with a smllo tho cigar of a hello and
smoke it while she waited upon mo and
tried to sell mo somo silk at an extrava
gant rate. Smoking is common during
courtship, and I doubt not that these
big Burmese cigars undergo tho amc
method of exchange as docs tho wad of
succulent gum among tho lovers in the
mountains of Tennessoc.
It is different in India. Love-making
there is a matter of bargain and sale,
and such smoking an is done during the
making of matches ia between the
match-makers and tho fathe rs who wish
to soil or bind thoir girls to Infant mar
riages. The women of India smoke,
but tbey do not do it during courtship,
and they practioally havo no courtship.
In some parts of tho country tobacco,
like opium, is used to a certain extent to
lessen tho pangs of hunger and to de
crease the appetite. It is raised in
every province in India, and rery nearly
tbreo-nuiirter3 of a million dollars'
worth aro exported yearly. The Indian
pipes are of all kinds and descriptions.
A very common one stands about as
high as a base -ball club. A t its bottom
is a bowl as big around as a cocoanut,
and often, in fact, made of a cocoanut.
This contains water. Jt has a holo in
side of it, and at its lop there is a pipo
about an inch or an inch and a half in
diameter, which runs up for two frot,
and at the top cf which there is 3 bowl
in which tho tobacco is placed. The
smoker sucks a hole at tho side of the
cocoanut, and ho sometimes has a flexi
blo tube with a mouthpiece, the end of
which Is inserted in this holo, and tho
pipe then stands upon the ground. The
hookah, cr w ater-pipe, is in use to some
extent ariong the Mohammedans of
India, and cirais cud cigarettes aro
common. Thoy arc vei y cheap and are
