The State of California has appro
priated $700,000 for her exhibit at
the World's Fair.
There are somewhere in the neigh
borhood of 300,000 commercial
travelling" men in this country, but
they are as a rule generally peace
bjy disposed.
It is said that the photographers
of this country use annually about a
million dozen eggs in preparing pic
tures, which may account in part for
the scarcity of spring chickens .
English companies are reported to
be making some large investments in
water-powers at Columbia, S. and
other points in the South with a
view to establishing cotton factories.
There is a hen farm near San
Francisco which produces 6,000 eggs
a day. When that Kansas man gets
his egg factory in operation this egg
cultivator may then retire from
business.
In its new dress the Progressive
Farmer is one of the handsomest
papers in the State, and seems to be
well sustained by the farmers in
whose interest it is published. Mr.
Cade is doing some good editorial
work on it.
The Maryland Democrats propose
to show their appreciation of the
service rendered by Senator Gorman
by laying out the Force bill gang,
by presenting him with a splendid
silver service.
Dr. Gardner, of Washington, says
there are too many foliage plants in
and about, the White House, and
that this is the cause of the severe
sore-throats from which Mrs. Harri
son suffers, and also .of much of the
sickness in the family.
Gen Lew Wallace says a poultice
of mustard and garlic applied to the
soles of the feet will cure rheuma
tism in a night. It would be a pret
ty robust case of rheumatism, or a
pretty robust man who could stand
treatment like that.
The Senatorial contest In the Illi
nois legislature wags along as usual.
The 101 Democrats are solid for
Palmer, the 3 F. M. B. . A.
men are also solid for some other
fellow, while the Republicans are
doing their level best to get solid
with the aforesaid trio. '
It is said' that one of Mr. Harri
son's reasons for appointing Gov.
Foster Secretary of the Treasury
was that he wanted to have a sharp
politician near him to keep an eye
on Mr. Blaine, who he thinks is com
ing somewhat too prominently to the
front as a dangerous competitor for
the Presidential . nomination, for
which Harrison hankers.
The negroes about Waco, Texas,
seem to be -getting somewhat excited
over their political rights. Perhaps
this is on account of the efforts of
the Texas white Republicans to
weed the colored brother out of the
party. But considering the fact
that the Democrats have about 100,
000 majority in that State it is not
apparent why there should be any
excitement on that subject.

VOL. XLVII.-NO. 134.
The passage of the direct land tax
bill in the House Wednesday will
refund to the States .which paid
the tax about $12,000,000, nearly all
of which goes to the Northern
States, where the tax was paid during
the war. After the war some of it
was collected in some of the South
ern States, but not much, as the col
lection was suspended by President
Johnston and was never resumed.
The tax was paid m about one-third
of the counties in North Carolina.
That report of the House Com
mittee on Elections in the case of
Kernaghan against Hooper, Bern.,
from the seventh Mississippi district,
seems to be somewhat belated. The
committee decides in favor of Hoop
er. The report was made, we pre
sume, to enable the contesting Re
publican to rake in some cash for
expenses, to pay counsel fees, &c, as
the contestants always get some cash
whether they get the seats or not.
A preacher in Tennessee who was
arrested on a charge of moonshinmg
put in a plea that he only ran a se
lect family distillery to supply his
own family with "sperits."

Y. M. C. A. Literary Society.
A meeting was held at the Y. M. C. A.
rooms yesterday evening to discuss the
advisability of reviving the Literary
Society, which for some time past has
been discontinued.
Mr. A. J. Howell, Jr., stated that the
failure of the Literary Society was owing
not to its unpopularity but to the lack
of efficient organization. He expressed
the opinion that with better arrange
ments in this respect it could be made
one of the most important and bene
ficial features of the Association, and he
trusted that no efforts would be spared
by the members to make the under
taking successful.
It was decided to call a meeting on
Monday, March 2d, when it'is hoped
there will be a large attendance. The
secretarial arrangements pro tern, are in
the hands of Mr. R. Pride, who will be
glad to answer any inquiries on the
subject.

All Sorts of Weather.
The weather Yesterday was decidedly
"unsettled and irregular." People were
at a loss what to expect, and even the
Signal Service men seemed undecided
about the matter. Both flag-staffs on
the government building were occupied
one with the cautionary northwest
storm signal and the other with
the signal for a cold wave. The
Signal men had a wide mar
gin on the latter, however and one
day grace which will not expire until this
morniag. The wind got up before day
light from the southwest, however
and rattled around town at a lively rate
until near noon, when it subsided, and
the remainder of the day until evening
was as pleasant as one could wish.
Soon after nightfall clouds gathered
in the west, there was a sprinkling of
rain and the wind again roused up,
blowing at a lively rate and gradually
veering around to the northwest and
causing the mercury to fall several de
grees. The mean temperature yesterday
was about ; 56to reach the point fixed
by the prediction of the Weather Bu
reau 35 the mercury will take a de
cided tumble by 8 o'clock this morning.

pearing for Merriman and Mr. Lockey
for Myers. The court room was crowd
ed with colored people. After a full in
vestigation of the case, the Court di
rected the discharge of Merriman, the

that he was guilty of the charge.
