Captaiu Moore, who has charge of the Garden statistics, says the present influx of Italians is unprecedented. This may be owing to the fear in their own land of the proposed law to re strict emigration, and to some ex tent also by the extra exertions ot the steamship emigration ageuts in view ot this law. The above was in Wednesday's. issue ot the paper, so. that the 10,- 000 arrived between Saturday and xuesaay, when the article was written.

Men who had invested their all in their saloons were refused li censes on grounds of doubtful va lidity. The reasons for the Judges' decisions were in no case made public by them, so far as I know. Several cases have been taken from lower courts throughout the State to the Supreme Court, but that body declared the decision of the lower tribunal final and ad mitting of no appeal, thus making the tour Judges 01 this city'an au tocratic power, absolute in its sway.

The idea that because the negro is thus the equal of the white 111 the schools, for example, he is, too, in the "parlors" is cer tainly a unique one. I've seen the little nigs in schools, but never saw one of dark color in a parlor except as waiter or servant. This isn't theoretical talk but fruit of experience.

One of the most important and at the same time liberal private charters granted be tho present general assembly of Kentucky, and approved by Governor Bncic ner, is tho charter of the New Jel lico Mining company, and of which Col. M. E. Thornton, the presi dent aud general manager of the Main Jellico Mountain Coal com pany, and his wife, Mrs. E. C. Thornton, the secretary and treas urer of the Main Jellico Mountain Coal company, are the incorpora tors in the act, and which was ap proved on tho 29th of March, 1SSS. The mcasmo derives significance because of the incorporators and from its magnitude, in addition to the fact of Govern wr Buckner ap proving a bill so free, full and lib eral in its provisions. It is well known that Colonel Thornton and his wife came un from Atlanta, Ga., to the Jellico c.oal district, and invested very largely in the Maiu Jellico Moun tain Coal company, which is loca teJ in Whitley county, in Ken tucky. They have made a phenomenal success in their enterprise, and can sell out for one hundred thou sand ($100,00.0), dollars more than it originally cot theih. It is pos itively stated that they have an offer to. this effect, but from the passage oi' this act and its approv al by Governor Bncktier. it ap pears that they .are going still deeper into the development of the resources ol Kentucky, and therefore we have more fully in quired into the matter. It seems that Colonel Thornton aiid'his .wife, who is a most excel- n ... 1 !"' 1 ' 1 - lent uusiuess womau, uavu inane about thirty thousand (830,000) dollars worth of new improvements on the Main Jellico Mountain Coal company's -property, at Kensee, Ky., within the past six month. This company is now actually .building coke ovens to make coke. The other companies 111 that sec tion all have the word "coke" in cluded in their charters; . but the Main Jellico Mountain Coal com pany, has said nothing about coke" yet. But it is the first to build coke ovens in that district. A Chicago firm of suiliCTeut means has expressed to Col. Thorn ton their desire 111 writing in the 'matter, and agree to put $i',000, 000 in the business if he will pro duce a good coke. Col. Thornton's bank boss, Capt. B. F. Rooney, a man of thirty-four years exper ience iu the business as a bank boss aud civil and mineral engin eer, and who has made coke iu all the states where coke has been made, ays .that Col. Thornton has two veins of coal that will make the finest coke iu the' world, not excepting aay coal. Chicago is getting most of its coal from rocanoutas, va. Tins cote is shipped seventy oue miles to the Norfolk & Western railroad at iNew lsiver, v a., anu tnence via Bristol aud Knoxville to Jellico, 3iJ0 miles, aud thence over the 'JLouisvuie cc jNasliviiio railroad via Louisville to Chicago. By Col. Thornton making coke at Jellico, Chicago cau get coke 380 miles nearer and that piueh cheaper aud sooner. - ' ' The dtummers wno go out on the road report of Mrs. Thornton, who has full charge ol the 1; aud extensive store ot cue compa ny, that she is a thoroughly busi ness woman, and that sue always knows just exactly what she wains and also what is its market value. Col. Thornton attends to the oilice work, the correspondence, selliug the coal, making contracts aud collecting the moiey, aud a gener al supervision of the whole busi ness as president, general mana ger aud assistant treasurer, as well as being postmaster at Ken see, while his wife superintends everything and gives her special attention to the conduct of the store such as the ordering ol merchandise, and controlling the clerks, besides attending to the post-office as assistant postmaster. It is said by those who claim to know, that the great success ol this company js very largely duo to tho good business judgment of Mrs. Thornton. J laving no. chil dren, and consequently no extra household duties, she is almost always to bo found in the store of the company, either ordering goods from the drummers, making the goods, or selling them, or su perintending the clerks. It is al so a remarkable fact, that her presence in the store deters the ruffian class of the miners from using improjer language, and also from other deeds or impropriety. They all have a very great respect fr her; aud it is siid that there is not a miner on the place, white or black but who would fight for her, r whip any man who would dare to be guilty of improper conduct in the store while she is present, j Colonel Thornton frequently goes to Knoxville and also to Louisville aud remains one, two and three days at a time on busi ness, legal and otherwise, connect ed with the company, and leaves Mrs. Thornton in full charge of everything; and they now have about two hundred and fifty (-50) miners. The purchases and sales iu the store run from four to six thousand dollars per month. This shows TH DOCTOR AYI USE 7A2 v I rcommind mm4 GOffSUfflPIIDIl UTlS.prffSTrl CHEROKEE REMEDY of the magnitude of the business that must be attended to. When Colouel Thornton attacks Mr. B. DuPont, of Louisville, for having placed, couvicts to work in the mines of this company, nearly every person who did not know Colonel Thornton predicated his utter and absolute failure against one who had hitherto been so in vincible. This, it seems, did not deter Colonel Thornton and he not long ago achieved his triumph against overwhelming odds m forces and means by a sound de cision hi his favor in Judge 'Sterl ing B. Toncy's court, of Louisville. A consideration of these iM.iuts leads to the inquiry, "why should Col. Thornton obtain a charter for a new coal company with such special privileges, when " Governor BucKiier is vetoing so many bills-! The charter of Col. Thornton's new coal, company, provides lor $2,000,000 capital stock and 81, 000.0O0 of bonded indebtedness, with the privilege of buying or leasing other mines. In addition, he has also just got a charter for a b ink at Jellico of 8100.U0O capi tal stock, under the name of the Jellico Bank. This would seem that Col. Thorn ton intends to do what it is said claimed he said he would do, that is, to run the whole Jellico mines under one. management, and thus by led icing the fixed charges on each mine, to thereby reduce the BR That Wonderful Combtnatlea TAYLOR'S SWEET CUM and MULLEIN.
