WILMINGTON, N. C. V.DXEsrAY Morning. Feb. tl, 1891. LOOKING SOUTHWARD. The fact that Mr. Jay Gould, the leading railroad manipulator of this country and one of its most'success ful and ablest financiers, has been giving attention of late to the South has not failed to attract attention. He is on another tour, accompanied by several solid railroad men and capitalists. In commenting upon this a few days ago we remarked that the probabilities are that it will Mead to so:iio new deais on the Southern rail road chess board in which the South w II be considerably interested. It is iow stated that one of the objects of this tour is to effect an arrange ment between certain Southern sys tems of roads to run in connection with the Southern Pacific, of which Mr. Gould one of the principal ov.-p.ers and the controlling spirit. The tendency of capital for rail road building for the past several years has been Southward, and in consequence for the past few years the new mileage in the South has been somewhat more than half the total mileage of the whole country; but until recently the attention of the great railroad kings had not been turned in this direction. . jay Gould never goes it blind, and when he strikes out for new ter ritory it is pretty- safe to conclude that it is good territory to strike for, and it is pretty safe, too, to conclude that it means pretty big develop ments in the future. The Baltimore Manufacturer s Record, which keeps a pretty sharp eye on railroad, finan cial aud industrial movements in the Soutb, is of this opinion. Comment ing upon Mr. Gould's recent move ments in the South, it says- The purchase by Mr. Jay Gould of a very large interest probably a control in the Richmond & West Point Ter minal system will we believe, prove of inestimable valaefo the South. It identi fies with the South and Southern devel opment the strongest financial forces in America, and brings into this section an influence which it has never before had. The very fact that Mr. Gould, the ablest financier of this country, if not of the world, has determined to be largely in terested in 'Southern railroad -and in dustrial matters will cause thousand's of other capitalists who have heretofore . held aloof from Southern matters to fol low his lead and invest in this section. With the Vanderbilts and Mr. C. P. Huntington interested in the Chesa peake & Ghio Railroad and in several town enterprises, such as Newport News, and Mr. Gould and his following in the Richmond & West Point Termi nal, the South is certain to draw many m dlions of dollars of money from sources that until recently it has never tapped. The ude of investment from the North has barely started yet, arni. the next five years will show an enormous amount of capital from that section and from Europe put into Southern enter prises. The growth of the Richmond and West Point terminal system, to which reference is made in the above extract, is one of the marvels in railroad manipulation. Bejinning ! with the Richmond and Danville, with less than a hundred and fifty miles of road, less than twenty-five years ago, its first acquisition being the Piedmont road, fifty miles, from Danville to Greensboro, which gave it Southern connection by the North Carolina Central, it has made ac quisitions by lease and purchase un til the system now embraces over three thousand miles of road, under the management of some of the best railroad heads in this country. It is through this system that Jay Gould seeks to make his South ern combinations. The result of these combinations must be the turn ing of a great portion of the Pacific coast trade and travel by the South ern route and this means more ter minal points in tbe South, and the building of new branchjines as feed ers to the great trunks, and a great er stimulus to railroad &ailding in the South, great as it has been for some years past. Everything points to a bright and great future for this section, and the indications are that railroad building has not yet fairly begun. MINOR MENTION. It seems from an amendment tack ed on by W. I. Hayes, Democrat, of Iowa, to the Sundry Civil Appropri ation bill, which passed the House of Representatives Monday, members ot the House, as well as tbe Senators, are to have clerks at a salary of $100 a month while Congress is in ses sion. Chairmen of committees were already provided with clerks. Since the Senators voted themselves clerks a few years ago, attemps have been made from time to time to do the same thing in the House, but there was always opposition enough to beat it. Some of them may be pos sibly so hard worked that clerks might be necessary, but with the aver age run of them the question is, after the rush for spoils his subsided some what, how to kill time. Three hun dred and fifty-six clerks at $100 a month each foots up $35,600 a month, a neat little tax to put on the people for the benefit of those over worked solons. No one ever heard one ot them complaining of the amount of work to be done, nor of the small salary, nor of clerks, &c, before his election. The fact is they are well paid at $5,000 a year, well enough paid to hire their own clerks if they want clerks, and not worked hard enough as a rule to be healthy. Senator Hoar seems to have been getting into a tangle with some of the good Republicans of Massachu setts, in consequence of the exposure of a combination which he and Col lector Brand are said to have made with Democratic ward leaders in Boston, whereby in return for votes for Republican candidates for the legislature which elects his successor in 1893 the present Democratic post master of Boston was to be retained in his position with his force of clerks. The plan was to get up a a petition for his retention which Mr. Hoar was to present to the Presi dent and urge that he be allowed to remain on the ground that the people wanted him. The discovery of this alleged programme has raised a racket in the camp of the faithful, many of whom it is said in their in dignation are whetting their scalp ing knives and are going for the old gentleman's scalp when the time for the election of his successor comes around. Mr. Harrison seems to be consid erably embarrassed to find a suitable person to fill the place of the late Secretary Windom. A number of names have been suggested, among them Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, Can non, of Illinois, another Cannon, of New York, Col. Dudley, of Indiana, Mr. New, of Indiana, Spooner, of Wisconsin, John Sherman, of Ohio, and Mr. Sewell, of New Jersey. Were it not for the fact that the Legislature of Ohio is Democratic and would send a Democrat to the Senate in place of Sherman if he were appointed, the probabilities are that he would be selected, as he is regarded as one of the ablest finan ciers in the party, but as close as the Senate will be in the next Congress they can't stand another Democratic Senator from Ohio. The Philadel phia Times, Independent, speaks a good word for Mr. Sewell, who, it says, "would come nearer command ing the confidence inspired by Secre tary Windom than any one we can recall. 'v Senator Wolcott succeeded Mon day in carrying his point in having that adjustment of account bill re ferred and sent back to the Commit tee on Education and Labor, where it will take a-xgood, lng sleep. If this bill,which had passed the House, Dassed the Senate it would have opened the way for a treasury raid amounting to millions of dollars, the number of millions being a mere matter of speculation. The bill was not so much for the- benefit of the so-called laborers as' for the claim agents and others who would have gotten the larger part for services rendered in pushing claims through. M. Wolcott did well in sitting down on it. STATE TOPICS. To-morrow is the day set for the consideration in the House of Repre sentatives at Raleigh of the bill pro viding tfor a fixed salary for solici tors. There seems to betonsidera ble diversity of opinion as to the advisability of passing this bill and as to the amount of salary, $1,800 a year, in the event it does pass. It is argued among other things by those who favor it that it would prevent much frivolous prosecution, not un frequenily inspired by malice and encouraged by solicitors for the pur pose of making fees, and thus save money to the State, while on the other hand it is alleged that if the solicitors are paid a fixed salary they will have no stimulus to exertion, will become remiss and careless in the discharge of their duty and of fenders will go unwhipped of justice. Another objection by some to the salary as proposed is that even if $1,800 were conceded to be sufficient for some solicitors the work in some districts is twice or three times as much as in other districts while the pay will be the same. CURRENT COMMENT. The cutting of iron-workers' wages in Pennsylvania and Ohio con tinues. Ten per cent, off is about the way the McKinley tariff sticks it on. iV". Y. World, Bern. This thing reciprocity, over which so much joy is being ex pressed, is nothing more than a sus pension of the McKinley bill high tariff as to Brazil that is all. Bra zil and the United States will now be at liberty to trade freely with each other that is all. Nerfolk Land mark, Dem. The explanation which Sena tor Quay was to make in the early part of the week appears to have got stuck in the mud. The Senate is still waiting for the sensation the New York Herald promised it would enjoy. Quay's dignified silence, which at one time was the admira tion of the Republican organs, is just as profound as it was a year ago. N. O. States, Dem. The treaty with Brazil is something more than a feather in Blaine's cap. It is the first applica tion of a principle that should have been put in operation long ago. When the duty was taken trom coffee, which is the chief article we buy from Brazil, there should have been a reciprocity proviso to the re pealing act. If there had been, we might by this time have been paying for some of our coffee with t,h e pro ducts of our fields and factories in stead of with coined dollars or their equivalent. Phil. Times, Ind. THE INDIAN AGENT. Thinks $300,000 a Heap of Money to Waste on a Lot of Indians. Neiu York Telegram. "You people are talking so much about Indian affairs now," said Wil son L. Jones, of Washington City, at the Hotel Vendome, "that I am re minded of a story I heard recently about a peculiar Indian agent. "It seems that some years ago there was a certain politician who had been promised a 'good thing' by a Republican Senator whom he had helped to elect. Shortly after the Senator went to Washington the pol itician was appointed as Indian Agent. He was crazy with wrath and, taking the train, hurried to Washington to have it out with the Senator. When he arrived in Wash ington he drove at once to the Sen ator's hotel and told him in strong terms that $3,000 a year in the wild West was a poor return for his ser vices to the Senator. He was going to decline the office and the Senator could look out. "The Senator was startled, but anxiously inquired if he had already sent his letter declining the appoint ment. 'No,' said tbe angry politi cian, 'but,' showing a letter which he took frorrrhis pocket, 'I'm going to mail it as soon as I leave here.' "The Senator felt better and went on to tell the henchman what a good thing the berth of an Indian agent is. The politician sat with open mouth and shining eyes while the Senator showed that the appropria for his particular reservation was something over $1,000,000, the Indians did not know how much they were to get, the people to be seen were few and by giving say $300,000 worth of supplies to the Indians the- agent could pocket the difference. After the Senator had finished he smiled as the agent elect tore up the letter of declina tion, but was rather taken aback as his pupil said: " 'Senator, don't you think $300, 000 a heap of money to waste on a lot of worthless Indians?'

THE WORLM GREATEST CATARACT -i i The Perpendicular Descent of the Water Must be About 2,000 Feet. Goldthwaste 's Geographical Magazne. The interior of Labrador undoubt edly is the largest unexplored area on this continent. Up the Grand river, which empties into the Atlan tic ocean at Hamilton inlet, are the Grand Falls, which, if everything is true about them that is reported, are the most 'stupendous falls in the world. They are only about 160 miles up the river, but only two men have ever seen them. Mr. R. F. Holme, two years ago, went from England to visit the Grand falls. He organized a little party to accom pany him inland, and arrived within fifty miles of the falls, when he was compelled to return on ac count or" the failure of his provisions. The Labrador Indians say these falls are haunted, and they carefully avoid them, believing that? they will die if they look upon them. The two white men who have seen them are Mr. Maclean, who, as he was ascending" the river in 1839 was stopped by the falls, and Mr. Kennedy, who, over thirty years ago, had charge of Hudson Bay post in Labrador. Mr, Holme says the height of the falls is not certainly known, but in some respects there is little doubt that they are the great est in the world. Though inner Labrador is so inadequately known, we are aware that it is a vast table land whose limits are quite clearly defined. In the southeast the de scent from the tableland is quite sudden, and almost immediately after leaving the plateau a level is reached that is very little above that of the sea. The Grand falls are the place where the Grand river tumbles over the edge of this tableland, and almost the whole of the great drop is effected in this one descent. Prof. Hind gives the height of this plateau as 2,240 feet. It has been estimated that tlie regio'n at the foot of the falls is only 200 feet above sea level, and that, therefore, the waters of Grand river have a perpendicular descent of about 2,000 feet.

There is a bill before the Legislature to reduce the legal rate of interest from eight to six per cent. At first glance it would appear that such a bill would be desirable and advantageous, since the large majority of people are borrowers and are interested in getting money as cheaply as possible. But the difficulty in the way is that the lending class would withdraw their money from the State and place it in other States where the limitation is not under 8 per cent. Newton Enterprise.

Hiding Her Head in Her Mother-in-Law's Skirts. New York Sun. A lustrous-eyed little girl from Mount Lebanon was the centre of a wondering group of officials at the barge office yesterday. It was not her beauty, which was of a rare ori ental kind, that attracted everybody, but the fact that sne was a bride Her husband, Yussef Goan, a strap ping lad of 1G, stood by her side with his mother. The little girl looked blushingly at ;the crowd at intervals when she was "not hid ing her head shamefacedly among the folds of her mother-in-laws dress She said she had been married to Yussef seven months ago at 3Iount Lebanon Her maiden name was Malacah Suriaan. She and her hus band are christianized Syrians. They were brought up together and were fellow toddlers in frocks. Yussef came here two years ago and became a peddler. He made $200 and went back to marry his playmate, as he had promised to do before he left Syria. He invest ed his savings in oriental gpods, which he will sell hereabouts. Col Weber temporarily detained the boy and girl, but let them go when he found that the mothers of both had sanctioned the marriage, and that it was not an uncommon thing for children to marry in Syria. mil tm FIREFLIES AS JEWELS.

The legs of the flies are shaped like hooks, and they appear to have been formed express ly in the interest of the ladies. Those living diamonds sparkle and shine more than any of the, dia monds of Africa or South America, for the fireflies in that part of the world have a rare brilliancy never witnessed in the North. They will almost do for a lantern on a dark night, so beautiful and strong is the light they give to the world. This habit of wearing fireflies is indulged-, in by the ladies of the poorer classes to a large extent, and and even the society ladies often pick up the shining brownies and fasten them in thehair just as a girl will gather wild flowers for a similar purpose.
