Drain County Herald. Published Weekly at b hyson city, X. 0 11. At Hodjo,. Ed. C. Pub It is understood that it will cost $300,- 000 to render the old Treasury vault at Washington secure. Of the fSO,000,000,000 representing the wealth of this country, about $36, 250,000,000 are owned by 31,100 indi riduals. The United SUtes Patent Office is more than self-sustaining. On the books of the Treasury it has to4ts credit some thing like $3,000,000. It is an open secret, avers the 2Tew York ' Commercial Mtertiur, that the German Army has not that affection for the Kaiser that existed between Paul and Virginia It Is said that the arerage height oi the American woman has in the last two generations increased one inch, and that the same increase has taken place in her bust and waist measured r The recent death of Mr. Randall leaves Charles O'Neil, of the.

French scientific men and engineers are discussing the feasibility of a rail road across the desert of Sahara. It is claimed that such an enterprise is neces sary to confirm the hold of France upon her possessions on the west coast of Africa and to develop the north African provinces that she holds. The unmarried women of Massachu setts, according to the reports of its sav ings banks and other institutions, have 29,000,000 ih deposit. Perhaps thU will explain, hizards the New York Newt, why the women of Massachusetts have the reputation ' of being so independent, as nothing contributes to the feeling, of independence like a good bank account According to a New York railroad man who has a fancy for statistics, the the railroad managers of this country have not less than 5,000,000 of their stockholders1' money invested in special cars for their own private use. This in vestment not only does not draw any in terest, comments the New Orleans Times Democrat, but it involves the constant sending of more good money after it. The English House of Commons is just passing a bill to apply the lash to armed burglars. It is not many years since the lash was abolished in the army and navy. Twenty years ago, when garotte robber ies were of nightly occurrence in London, the House of Commons introduced a, similar bill, 'which passed quickly, and the lash practically put a stop to garot Ing. Now that burglars think nothing of putting a bullet through anyone who interferes with them, it will be interest ing, thinks the New Orleans Timu-Dem-pcrat, to watch their terror of pain when .inflicted on their carcasses. For it is pain, as the howls of flogged garroters have often proved to those who pass the prisons .. when the operation is on. Twenty-five , lashes are given by two or three sturdy wardens with all their might on the bare back of the convict as he re clines on the triangle to which he is strapped. The "cat-o'-nine-tails is a tout whip with nine long cords, each with nine hard knots. There is a power of moral suasion in the Newgate cat. Says the New York Totti "One of the best things told about the new ocean steamer Majestic is that she has such ex cellent arrangements for ventilating the stoke hole that her firemen work in com parative comfort, and during her first trip not one was overcome lay the heat an unusual thing, it U said, in the voy age of a greyhound. There is something exceedingly unpleasant in the reflection, which is forcing itself more and more on the attention oi the happy crowds of pleasure-seeker who now cross to Europe every year, that down in the depths of the great ships in which they are lodged so luxuriously, a large party of men are risking their lives to keep up the speed. These men . are naturally every year getting more and more dis- contented. The .vigorous, hale and hearty, whom such work requires, are be coming harder to procure. A large pro portion of these stokers who get em ployment on the steamers are weedy fel lows down on their luck, who are willing to risk a wretched existence for a little cash. But the system is altogether un fortnnate,and the steamship companies ought to seek a remedy. With our pres ent powers of driving air about, it ought to bepbssibleto keep up a mild tornado in every stoke-hole, and subject the stoker to no more risk than a farm la borer is exposed to oa a warm, day ia (UUElcr.H ' ' ' "- . -.- i, 1 1 ! n in Minim' inmi'MHi i-" iyiiiniM ' NEWS SUMMARY.

' -The fact that nitrogen in the South can be purchased in cotton seed cake t.t seven cents per pound, while throughout the North it is rated in other fertilizers at nineteen cents per pound, is worthy the attention cf our reader. We do not wish to see cotton seed cake largely used as a manure. It Is nutritious food of a high order, and should be used as food first, and afterwards at manure. When fed to sheep it is not only an ex cellent food, but ninety five per cent, of the i itrogen, and still more of the phos phoric acid and potash, is returned to the scil in the droppings of the sheep. There ate many places in the Southern States where impoverished and run-down land could, be very profitably renovated by pasturing with sbep. If the sheep are allowed one pound of eottoa-seed cake each per day, it is a t mishing how they ill clean up the land destroy weeds, branches, etc., and the droppings of the aheep will so enrich: the land that nutritious grasses soon cover the soiL Do not fcO into fancy breeds at first. Buy liberally, especially cf cctton seed cake, and the increase of mutton and wool will far more than pay for the cake, and you get the land cleaned up and enriched ard wed stocked with grass for nothing. George' Washington's Coat Buttons. From an article in the Century, by William Armstrong on "Some New Washington Relics," we quote as follows: "In connection with the conch shell buttons, the story is told of General Washington that one day, while walking alone in the streets of Philadelphia, he was accosted by a poor Italian, who J ignorant of the personality addressed, continued to follow and importune him to buy some of the conch sheila which he carried in a basket on his arm, and which he persisted were the only things that he had in the world to dispose of. But, my good man,' remonstrated General Washington, 'what would I do with your conch shells f I have no use for them.' Oh, yea, you have, came the ready re joinder. You might have them made into buttons for your coat. Smiling at his prompt reply, Washington not only purchased the shells, but, the better to further. the advice, took them at once to his tailor, and, directing them to be riveted, ordered a brown velvet coat, that their especial usefulness night be straight''" ,nnonstrated.w-i u An I&Tentlre Gealiu.

" The Senate Committee on Commerce resumed the bearing upon plans for im proving the Mississippi River channel. Henry Flad, a member of the Mississippi River- Commission, opposed the Lake Borgne outlet system and : favored the narrowing of the channel to 3,000 or 3,500 feet and building revetments and leva s. :! ; , - Col; "Ernst, a member of the commis sion, said he believed the expenditure by tho commission for the building : of le vees was illegal. r H. B. Richardson, Chief Engineer of Louisiana,, spoke in favor of levees and against the outlet system Capt. Miller, of Memphis a pilot of fifty yesra experience, said he thought the bed of the river was rising. Rocks visible in 1878 had disappeared. There are more shoals in the river than ever be fore. In 1850 there were but two shoals. This was due, he said, to closing the out lets of the stream. Government work on the levies was wasted because f the unprotected points. Col. Ernst ras recalled and said that when, the Government works now in progress between St. Louis and Cairo were completed, a clear channel depth of ten ftet would be recurtd. -; " Ex-Congrussman Moore, of Memphis, expressed the' opinion that a combina tion of the levee and outlet system was the true solution of the difficulty. 1 .

CZLZZZLTLl Tta Hecilsab Dcclarafca of Tx2c. -.u xr r Hnpr.ial. The cele- bration of the 20th yesterday equalled the expectations of the most sanguine. The parade was one of the greatest ever seen in this part of the country. The crowd of visitors was tremendous.

Xte formation of the line, under the direction of Chief Mar shal Brevard and his aides, was begun about 11 o'clock, and everything was ready for the start a few minutes after twelve o'clock ; and as the long line marehed beneath the banners of the Re Eublic that owes so much to Mecklen urg, thousands were aatonished at. its extent and its imuosing beauty. .The thirteen ofigional S'tes wefa rep resented by thirteen little- girls. ; They were decked out in stars and stripe and the candpy under which tbe sat was one of the great National flags -sent here from the War Department. There were ovej 30 large and beautiful ly designed floats in the. parade,.-representing the -business interests of Char lotte, One of the moat interesting tea tures of the day was the Military contest. The following companies entered ; Gov ernors Guards, of Raleigh, N. C , Light Tcfantry, of Wilmington, N. C. L'ght Infantry, of Monroe, N. C, Hornets Nest l'.iflemen, of Charlotte, N C. Prizes were won by the following companies: Wilmington Light Infantry, f 200 in gold ; Ilorneta Neat Riflemen, f 100 in gold ; Mouroe Light Infantry, 35 in gold.

Bronson, of the Uuited States Signal Corps. "4 The second day of tbe celebration was hardly less; interesting than the Crjt. The Firemen's- contest commencid at 8:30 a. m. The first race, hand reel, was for a prize of $100 in gold, $'15 to second.- The Monroe, N. C.; team was the first to run. At a signal to start, they started off .with a dash, spun over I the ground, reeled off tbe hose, screwed it on the .water-plug, put the nozzle rtx the hose and turned on the water, all in 30J seconds. - - .; -i j The Durham team came next. Their time was 31 secoada." " ''- The Greensboro team -threw water in 33f seconds from the time they started. , The Independents, jof Raleigh, started next. The nozzle oi their hose "blew off" when the stream was turned on, which ruled them out under the regu lations.: However, they were given a second trial, which resulted again in a Diow on or the nozzle, i hey were ) ruiea out. The last team to ruri in thia race were the : Charlotte Pioneers. About fifty yards from the plug one of the Pioneers took a tumble, and three other members tripped over him, so that when the Pioneers reached the plug they ,were short one man, and two others were holdiog to the tongue of the nel, their legs dragging on the ground . Not withstanding the accident, the Pioneers threw water in 28f seconds from the time of starting, making the best time in the raee. The nozzle "blew-, off," however, and fhat lost them the race. The ; grab race was won , by the Pioneer of Charlotte in 2l seconds, prize $25. Monroe won second prize, $10, 'time 23 seconds. Raleigh made tbe time in 25 seconds; Greensboro ruled out. . - The fireworks display from 8:30 to 9:30, closed the amusements f-r the day. None of the multitude could have been disappointed in the display. It was r; magnificent in variety and beauty. " . Of the set pieces, the fiist shown was the ; word 'Welcome' in changing colors ; a beautiful "whirligig" piece; a large Maltese cross. The portrait of Zeb' Vance was applauded with enthu- siasm. I The exhibition closed with the representation of Niagara Falls, a , fine piece and other great eruption of many colored sky-rockets. - ' - "A Neat Idea. The innkeepers in the countries on the Rhine follow a practice which is worth suggesting to persons of the same calling in this country. They give their gueata a carte or piece of paper measuring about sixteen inches long and four inches broad, and which folds-together like a small map. r This carte, when folded, exhibits on the outside a view of the hotel, also its name and the name of the proprietor. On opening it, the visitor finds that the-other parts' consist of lists f the principal curiosities or public buildings which are worth visiting in the town and its environs,-and along the whole inside he finds a map of the chief routes from the place. Thus the German hotel-keeper's carte is a card of his house and a local guide alt in one piece of paper, the expense of which cannot be much greater than that of a common bill cf fare. A BiU-Colleetlag PostoCee. In Holland bills are often paid through the medium of the pestoffice. This de partment is still unknown in this coun try, says the London Tit-BiU. ;: It en ables a man living, say, in London, to get a small bill collected in any provincial town without the often expensive and tedious interference of a banker or agent. For that purpose he hands his bill to the nearest postoSce. - It is sent to the place where the money ia to be collected. After the collection a draft is forwarded to the payee by the offlce where he de posited his biU, and where he g-ts his cash and the bill duly receipted on pay ment of a small commission, which is payable in advance. In some large towns the money and the bill are even brought to the payee's house. Mme.

L1VIHO3T0SE SPEAKS. The National Lecturer of the Alliance On ' the Sub-Treasury Plan. Washington. -Congressmen from ag ricultural States and members of the Farmers National Alliance crowded the Waya and Means Committee rooms - at the Capital to hear Mr. Livingstone, the national lecturer of the alliance, expand his views on the Pickler bill for the es tablishment of sub-treasuries for the de posit of grain, oats, corn, - tobacco and cotton. , . : Mr. Livingston said there need be 'no misapprehension concerning the objects of the Alliance. It was not seeking to diaplace tho ruling political partiea. The sub-Treasury bill had nothing to do with the tariff. The farmers asked that the sub teeasury bill be parsed. Fifty -eight homes of farmers had been sold in Connecticut in one day week. Re lief 'was demanded- and the farmers keew how to get it. -- He quoted President Lincoln's pre diction that corporations would be en throned, that the property of the coun tiy would be concentrated, sni that the republic itfelf would ba overthrown. He thanked God that the last prediction had not come true. If Congre s refused to endorse the sub-Treasury; plan, he said, it should remove the restrictions hedging in the national banking system. The sub-Treasury plan 'gave the fanners a chance to escape the speculator by allowing him to deposit his crops in the sub-Tretsuries at any. time, and spared him selling at stated seasons. If the sub-Treasury bill were passed, there would not be a bucket shop left in the United Stalea. There need be no fear that the bill would cause the farmers to form a trust.
