r Spain lias had 19 Ministers o! War during the century with an a'erage time oi service of sit m nth" each. It is estimated that there are from hirty to thirty-five thousand voters rom the Southern States who have cttled permanently in New York. - It is said to cost less to fend th product of an acre of wheat from the IDakotas to EnglanJ than it doe to imanure an acre in England so it can grow good ffheat. The pension agency in Topeka, Kan., is the largest in the country. It pays out annually fifteen million dollars to the veterans of Kansas, Missouri and Col orado. Says thV"NeV""YOTkWorld: Con gratulations are due to our sister Repub lic of Mexico on the completion of iti lighty-second year of independence; also on the condition of prosperity which President Diaz recognizes in his address to the Congress. A statistical item of interest to women is that women to-day are two inches tall er, on au average, than they were twenty five years ago. The cause, avers the Chicago Time3, is found in the change of the embroidery needle for the tennis racket, oar and the gymnastic apparatus ,of the school and collesre. The New York Po3t states that the Russian language is to bo taught in two ot the Paris colleges, and that if the ex periment succeeds, Russian will be placed on the same footing as German and Eng lish in secondary education. The appar ent intention is that if one day French men and Russians fight side by side they shall be able to understand each other. Several years ao, recalls the Chicago Times, a movement was inaugurated among college students in America to secure the pledges of students to enter on the missionary work. Nearly 6000 have pledged themselves to enter the foreign field. It is stated that about 350 have already entered on the work. Some nU0 are in theological scho.U and 125 in incdica' Ci)l!e.'o3. Agriculture is not in a very satisfactory condition in the Australian coloaiaj th'J present year. In "West Australia no less than 400,000 sheep were lo3t out of a total of less than 2,000,000. The at tempt to ship fruit to England ha3 failed to be profitable, on account of the great losses; one-third of it rotted on the voyage, and what was sold brought a very low price. AU the pears were unsalable. In Victoria the crop area of the 1891-92 season wa3 6341 acres less than for the previous year. The wheat yield was 16$ per cent. le than the average of the last ten years. Oits an an average, barley gave excellent results, and the potato area increased, while that ;of corn declined. "Wine grapes are more productive, and the yield of sugai cane was small owing to disease. ' The other day at Springfield, Mass., a bicycle rider named Zimmermanr smashed the records of bicycle riding in to flinders by making a mile in the mar velous time of 2 :06 4-5. On a previous attempt, on the same day and track, h made a half-mile in 1:00 1-5. These records put Zimmermann so conclusively at the head of the procession of the world's bicycle riders that his time musl be compared with something else to show what it really is. Nancy Hanks is prob ably the fastest trotting horse in the world, nd yet, marvels the San Fran cisco Chronicle, Zimmermann on his bicycle has made a mile in one-fifth of fi second less than she has troted a mile on a regulation, that is, an elliptical race track. It seems hardly credible that a man mounted on a seat between twe wheels on the same plane should hi able to propel himself faster than the speed icst trotter in the world has gone, bul the record is indisputable. The rise o the bicycle in its present shape, that is, the kind knowu generally a3 the "safe ty," would be a very interesting study. A few years ago we were accustomed tc see boys and young men perched abovt a high wheel with a smaller one trailing along after it, but the sport was not in the best of repute. There was too much danger attendant upon climbing so high, and the frequent "header" was a thins not to be despised. Now every come: we turn we come across safeties ridder by all sorts and conditions of men Ladies are among the most delightec and enthusiastic riders of safeties, and children learn to ride them almost a soon as they can walk alone. Safety bicycles have been tried in military man euvers, in the mail-carrying service and in a variety of ways, until thei; usefulness has become an estabUshec fact. It is always fortunate when i thing can be made useful and pleasur able at the same time, and this is pre eminently the case with the safett bicycle. All riders cannot be Ziinmer manns, but all can derive a vast arnoun of heilthful ahd pleasurable exarcis from the wheel. THE SOUTH IN GENERAL. The Latest News From All Over This Land.

Turner, of Atlanta, was asked here what incentive the colored people had to sup port the Democratic party in the late election of that State. He replied tha; 'there was no special incentive as far as the Democratic party was concerned. A large number of the colored people did vote for the re-election of Governor Northen, who had no interest in the Democratic ticket, and indeed, many voted for him alone. Governor Northen was the first Southern Governor, said the Bishop, who had openlv spoken out against lynching negioes, and' had dared to offer a reward for that class of inhu man brutes who were making our coun try a hiss and a byword throughout the globe, and inasmuch as the position taken by tha Governor had been bene ficial of good results, many colored peo pie felt that their votes weie due him under the circumstances. This great nation is too weak, worthless or mean to put down these midnight mobs who break jaiis and murder innocent men by hundreds, and if God has put it in the heart of one Christian Democratic Gov ernor to try to stem the torrent of blood and slaughter, he shall have my vcte." Bishop Turner says he still favors Af rican emigration for such of his people as have souls aud backbones. He sees no manhood future here for the negro. The colored people will never be re spected until they fouud a nation and intelligently run the same. MEANT TO HAVE THE GIRL.
