( The Weekly Times. Brrson Gily, N. C. The joint circulation of the Ameri icnn and British Foreign Bible Soci eties has passed the round number of (200,000,000 copies, and their receipt ave aggregated $84,000,000. , The shrinkage of value of horees Jlast year is estimated to be over $25, (000,000, and the total loss in falling off of prices ill no doubk aggregate 860,000,000 since the commetcement 5f the present depression of values. The number of desertiofcs in the French army increases constantly. In f single week lately no fewer than five deserters arrived at Straaburg alone ; while at the present time some six hundred French deserters live in Alsace-Lorraine. About the same num fber have taken up their residence in Jielgium; and Switzerland boasts a Jhtill larger contingent It will be remembero I how the tor edo boat, the Gushing, sneaked into Js'ewport harbor in spite of the fact that a sharp lookout was kept for her cishore with the anistanco of big (Hearch-lights. The value of these lit "ile destroyers is shown to the New JYork Bun in despatches from the seat kjf war in China. The destruction of it he biggest ironclads in the Chinese inavy seems to have been the result of nudacious' and successful dashes by theso tiny craft. They can finisii any thing' afloat so long as they are n j! ound out io tim'e. At an amusing meeting held the pother day by the London Piscatorial pocioty it was decided, after gome tliis Icussion, tc abandon the giving of tmoner prizes to anglers as rewards tfor cunning in the catching of fish Respite the fact that one gentleman assured tho assembled company thai leven her .Majesty the Queen did not bbioct to receiving monev prizes at horticultural shows the majority of the fishermen present considered it ' "derogatory to the character of a true nngler, fishing in the Waltonian spirit) tfor the love of sport alone, to accept a money prize." Therefore in the fu ture tliere will only bo cup prizes for the sensitive minded fishermen to com jpeto for. Tho fish supply In Lake Ontario Is substantially exhausted, and the.Chi cngo Horald announces that . the sup ply ill Lake Erie is going rapidly. Fishermen have caused the fish famine by selling for fertilizing purposes the umall lish caught iu tho nets with those of eatable size. The Ohio Leg islature is trying to devise a law for iish protection in Lake Erie, but such legislation practically would bo use less unless similar laws were enacted by other States bordering on the lake, and by Ontario, The maguifioent rislipreserves of the United States are not cxhaustless, and, unless care is iakeu for their perpetuation the finny tribes in public waters will follow the fato of the buffalo. Tho probable effect of the opening iof tho Chicago Drainage Canal upon tho water level of the great lakes is up ifor discussion again, notes tho New York Tribune. Tho Chicago engineers lec4aro that at the most it will not lower tho lake level more than three inches. But Professor G. Frederick uncut, ol Uberlin uollege, an i acknowledged anthority-on the sub- ject, says that the canal will ultimately . divert ten per cent, of the water that now passes over Niagara ; and in the lute summer and autumn this will j seriously interfere with navigation. As a preventive measure, ho suggests 'that a dam be constructed across the lower end of Lake Superior at the "Soo," which will raise the level ol that lako two feet and store enough water during the rainy season to supply the lower lakes during the late summer and fall. The Chinese, in the view of Lovd Wolseley, as printed in the Cos tnopolitan Magazine, possess the mental and physical qualities required for National greatness. They are fine men, superior to the Japanese in average stature ; they are industrious and thrifty, absolutely indifferent to death, and when well trained and well led make first-rate soldiers. This hardy, clever race, he urges, whose numbers are to be counted by hun dreds of millions, need only the quick ening, guiding hand and mind of a Ifapoleon to be converted into the moat powerful Nation that has ever dictated terms to the world. As a Napoleon is not forthcoming General Wolseley idvises China to seek an other Charles Gordon to organize an other ever victorious army. It may be that this estimate of the Chinese is correct, comments the New York Press; but, as the Press has often pointed out, and as Wolseley himself Admits, the Chinese are not and the Japanese are a warlike race. The Chinese will have to change their esti mate of the military profession before they can .become a soldierly Nation, and it wcJSld take more than one generation to make their armies and navies a terror to the rest of the hrorld THE LEGISLATDRE.

French moved to table the whole matter and this prevailed, nouse took recess until 8 p. m. In the afternoon the Governor sent the following message to the Senate: "1 have the honor to transmit for vour approval and consideration the appoint ment of Thos. D. Jones, of Buncombe, as judge of the criminal court com posed of Buncombe, Madison, Hay wood anJ Henderson, created by act raluieti Jlarcnlicin, uuO. P. Meares, cf New Hanover, judge of the circuit criminal court composed of Craven, New Hanover, Mecklenburg, Vance, Warren, Robeson, Edgecombe and Halifax, created by act ratified March 12th." This was literally a bombshell among the fusionists. The Governor stands upon the constitution that while the Legislature may create criminal courts, he alone can nominate or ap point the judges thereof. The Senate in executive session considered the message. The Senate at night passed resolu tions of thanks to its president for his distinguished ability and impartii 1 and courteous bearing, which he has manifested during its deliberations, and that a copy be spread upon the journal.

Mr Hileman made the point that no business was possible. Pending motion to adjourn, he pressed this point. The Speaker then said: "The tale is told; the work is done and the memorable session of which fully half the time has been devoted to political discussion ended," and at 12:15 he declared thj House adjourned sine die.

C The depart ment of State has received a supple mentary consular report on the sale of American cloth at Bradford, Eng land. Consul Meeker says that since his first communication be has further investigated the subject, and learned that samples were furnished one Brad ford house of cloth producedin the Unit ed States. This house has since sent trav elling men and agents to India, Italy, South America, and France, carrying this line of American goods. This firm, Mr. Meeker says, has a large trade in India, and has sent, as suitable to that mark et, a fabric manufactured in New York, known as "the twist Melange flannels.' The samples have been shown in Italy, France and South America at frem 50 to 65 cents per yard, and which prices, they think, will prove very popular, being known in trade as "Algiers cloth." When samples of these goods were shown in Paris the French merchants said, "They are of wonderful value," and that there would undoubtedlv be a esU for them in time, though at present there was no demand "Good orders, he says, "are expected for them from Italy and Brazil." The Bradford merchants have cabled the New York firm to send themimme- diatelay one case of assorted black-blue Algeria cloth and stated that if the goods came up to the eacipie large or ders might be expected. WASHINGTON NOTES. Hon. Carroll D. Wright, TJ. 8. Labor Commissioner, in a public lect ure this week said: "The regulation and control of monopolies properly be longs to government. II trusts were operated is a praper manner this might go far toward settling the labor question. And yet, so for, every at tempt to regulate trusts has been a failure." Mr. Wright in the same lecture used the following language. which appears to leave a doubt as to just where he stands on a very impor tant question: "lam absolutely op posed to governmental control of rail ways, but we must admit that the gov ernment may regulate transportation, for the good of the whole country, for a corporation exists for the benefit of the people, and not the individual." Ex-Senator Butler's f rienda, who had hopes of his getting one of the Indian Territory judgeships, until Kilgore seemed to be agreed upon, say that he is one of the very few remaining prom inent supporters of the President un provided dor. It is intimated that any event the general will not return South Carolina to a country law prac tice, at his age. Governor Evana Will Preside. Columbia, S. C. March 14.

One of the difficulties, of raisins . staple between "uplands" and SeI land comes in, the ginning. The m, of the modern steam gin is lmpractict. ble, for it would injure the lint, to that it would not sell for more than orW ry uplands. The saw gin, which Egyp. tian cotton growers use, most be . sorted to; the operation is slow sorely taxes the patience of the South, ern cotton raiser, who has been c- customed to the quick process of the steam gin. The best known upland long sUpU variety is known as "the Allen," Qj the seed can easily be procured. Ths seed is rather larger, we understand, than the upland, and the net weight of the crop is somewhat effected, but look at thi difference in price. One South Carolie farmer grew this cotton in the ceaeot of 1893, and U6ed the saw gin. Won uplands were bringing 8c. aUthe high est, he sold his entire crop at an aver age of 16 cents, getting 18c. for the best, and he stated to the writer that it paid him well. There w as some delay in finding a market for it, but by grow ing it year after year, the sale of it would be a much easier matter each time. This farmer will grow it again this year. The new Richlands Cotton Mill at Columbia, S. C, ground for which aa broken this week and Exposition Cot ton Mills, Atlanta, Ga., in their new mill in course of construction, both have announced that they intend to manufacture finer goods than the South has yet produced. This will make a good demand for the finest fibre tht uplands can produce, failing in an am ple supply of whictthey will neceshari- ly have to use more Sea island cotton. We present this matter for the con sideratiou of the Southern farmers. It is not necessary for them to raiee 5 cent cotton and lose money. Charlotte Textils Excelsior - Hypnotism Exaggerated. Dr. Hodges, formerly of Fayetteville, N. C.bnt now a professor in the Kich mond, Va., College of Physicians and Surgeons, delivered an interesting ad dress on hypnotism recently before tht Woman's Society of that city. vt. Hodges exposed many popular fal lacies regarding this strange influence acquired by strong minds over'weaker ones. He 6ays the treatment of hypno tism in the literature the day ii generally unscientific and untrue. One statement he made was of especial interest. He contended that a hypno tist could not compel a subject under his influence, if that subject were upright, honorable, and possessed of a noble character, to do a wrong, degrading act. The attempt to make the hypnotized per son do so would immediately cause a mental revolt and arouse him from his hypnotic stte. For instance, a man to whom evil was repugnant, could not be made to commit murder when in the hypnotic state. He would at once return to his normal nitniai condition.
