It is estimated that there are 10,00') booksof fioetry in the National Library at Washington. The rules of the library require the keeping of every copyrighted book, so that the collec tion must include an enormous amount of trash. The Shu Eraneieec Chronicle believes it i sfe, to say that nine tenths of this verse represents work which no pnbliHher would issue with out advance payment of cost, and which is absolutely worthless. There ought to be some provision for weed ing out this trash, which is not worth shelf room. The faculty of Hillsdnl-! (Mich.) Col lego evidently thinks that marriage is a failure. A most remarkable order went into effect a few weeks ago: The students who enter college single can not get married during their course nnd remnin in the college. People al ready married, however, are not barred. Many students are angry. They say that the married people do better work than the single ones, because they are not all thinking of absent sweethearts. Dining tho past two years ibere has been an epidemic of marriages among the theologians. Strong efforts will be made to have the rule repealed. There is enormous waste of farm land in England through the hedge system, states the Boston Cultivator. There are 600,000 acres occupied by hedge rows, and since farming has paid poorly the labor of keeping these hedges trimmed has been greatly neg lected. A hedge with the ground it fills, and that spoiled by its roots, uses up a rod in width. Hedges with ditches beside them take up more land than this. But it costs too much to loot out the hedges and level the moiitn. r.'t that the reclamation cf hedge Innd goes on slowly. There is still greater waste of land in some sections of England and Scotland by withdrawing it from cultivation to be used for gam? preserves. Thousands of acres that used to support a con siderable agricultural population now supply only what fooil the huutev can get by killing deer and other game. r'our churches of New York City have been making a religious census of the districts of the city in which they are situated for the purpose of exteii liug their influence and of de tcrmijig to what exteut religion was 10:11,4 its hold of the population. Here are the results: "Families vis ited, 4ltf; of this number, 1257 were Toi!ian Catholics. 983 Episcopalians, tffi?

The managers of the enter prise think that on the whole the re sults of the cauvass were very satisfac tory, and were especially encouraged tliHt out of the whole number of fami lies visited but one avowed infidel principles. It illustrates the need of a Pacific cable that the news of the two most important events in the Hawaiiau epi sode passed between Washington and Honolulu only after traveling back ward round the globe some 21,000 miles in order to compass a direct dis tauceof some 5000 miles. The news of the decision of President Clevelan I to attempt the restoration of the (ieen reached Hawaii first by steamer from New Zealand, having traveled by telegraph under the North Atlantic- aul through the whole of Europe, Asia, aud Australia to reach the port t'roni which the steamer sailed. Simi larly, the first news that the Provis ional Goverment refused to accede to th President's demands reached 1 ashington by steamer from Hono lulu to New Zealand, and thence by telegraph back over the same round about route. A cable 2500 miles long, fr:m Honolulu to San Francisco, would have saved 21,000 miles of tele graphic aud steamship travel, and abov.t two weeks of time in each Ui- bU&ce. MR. CARTELL S SILENT BRIDE. Sho Had Vowed Never to Sea tnjlrt Agaft, fA Hirrrioet Vart Off. TntMfeiE, Tejc. Mrs. Jerry Cartell 'of near Trimble, has just broken a rash vow which she made over twelve months ago, aDd which ehe regretted having ever mad. About eighteen month" tar) Mr. Cartell was Miss Fann' fernmbiey, a beautiful yon tady of eighteen years and jrrry Cartell her farcied Wtcif Bn, as i perer'57 case with v.nrp 'rrVin, a quarrel arose between them, and in the heat of passion Mies Fannie angrily bade her lover leave her presence, and vowed by high Henvf-a she would never speak to hint again. The disconvdate lovef took his departure, but as be fairly wof; chipped the pirl be ardently set about to r fki.-1 lecor.'-iiiation. At last, in answ.-r to a pitiful pVdirg leitef; Miss Funrie 'eieiiiei and benned to hitTi a iovinff, forgiving message. Ovf ijoyel at the happy, termination of affniis h hurried o tie Iiome of Mips Fr. nr.'t was received warmly and fft-i tioiiut? ly, but without a word i f (-lcoii!. Taking a tablet and pen cil from a ' 'k fchc began a written conversation as though she could not sj;eak a word. Cartell pleaded the nlpssne'P snd foolishness of such proceedings, but in vain, as his sweet heart positively refused outtet a word to him. Hh". is f)y devnnt. A rpeni i er of 1 iie Methodist Church, and was riirnly impressed with the idea that if he should break her rash vow God wri;H punish her by striking her dumb, whi n she could apeak to no one. Sb" was constantly on her guard for fear she might forget herself and speak to her lover, thereby inviting this terrible visitation. The couits.hip proceeded With perl; cil and paper for aev-rl months, and then thev fr juried together in -the b'.! v b' ti'U of matrimony. During ttieir married life of nearly a year Mrs. Cartell never spoke to her husband un til Forae weeks ago. Last Christmas Mr. Cartell made his wife a present of a handsome and cost ly pair of vases. The other morning the husband w as bringing in an arm ful of wood end struck one of the vases and knocked it to the floor, where it broke into a hundred pieces. "Oh, -Terry, look what you have done!" cried Mrs. Cartell. She was horribly shocked at speak ing to h ?r husband, and believed that she had been stricken dumb. To as certain the correctness of her belief she ppoke to him again, and was over joyed to discover that her organs of speech had pot been in the least im paired. In the happiness of again hearing his wife speak to him, Jerry folded her in his arms, wept tears of joy, and thanked God for the breaking of her vase. Mr. and Mrs. Cartell feel as if a cloud hnd been lifted from their home, and there is not a happier couple today in Dyer county. MROH FEltR S EGGS ALL BROKEN. He Got Twenty for a Quarter, and His Friend Blind Smashed Them on His Head. (New York Sun.) Aaron Fek-r of fll Moore street, Williamsburh, likes cgfr. In fact, he seldom cats anything else.

Blind looked at the eggs and took the h:it in his hand. "You big fool," he exclaimed, "why don't you put on your hat with the eggs in it and nobody can see them?" What happened whs told by Feier in I the Ewer Street Police Court, where he charged Blind with assault. Said i Feir; !

JVeU A EARLY DEAD. He Met Death Unflinchingly and Crotsed Oyer the River to Rest Under the Shade of the Trees. LYNCTiBrRG. Va. United States Senator John W. Daniel in a sad voice announced thit his old commander, Ge; .Tubal A. Early, at whose bedsid-3 he has been a constant watcher for some days, had gone to his eternal re ward. General Early died at 10:30. He passed away quietly in the presence of his family and physicians, his kindred and several intimate friends. The oh1 general seemed aware of his approach itig end early in the day. Before noon he called for the morning paper as was his variable custom and attempted to read, but found that his sight was fail ing. Soon after, he extended his hand to Senator Daniel and calmlv said: "I want to tell you pool-bve, major." He then told his nephew Cabell Early, farewell, after which he dropped into a quiet slumber. Later in the day the dying veteran aked Senator Daniel not to leave the room, s he want ;d to talk with .him alvont certain arrangement; but from that time he suffered such intense pain thut he did not revive the subject. He met deuth unflinchingly, with his hand resting quietly in Senator DanielV It is thought that Gen. Early has left a good cMatc, though he was a man of nst oni.-hing generosity especially towards his numerous relations, and needy ex-Confederatcs. A New Railroad Scheme.

C Presidenl Cleveland and party are moving still further sev. f'O-i civilization. In he morning the Vioiefc as Jifir at Long Point, near the foot of the Albe arid. Cesarea; Cana. After affording the pftriy ah efptMnsity to trv their skill on the dncks in the ear ly morning the little steamer hauled an anchor and stood away to the southward. She crceed Albemarle Rmind and entered Croatan Sonnd, Dbout thiity miles from th morning's farting point.

The President and Secre 'arv Grebsm pe early risers, and by 8 o'clock breakfast had beer di-patch-' ed and the members of the p-arty be gan ihejr trip. The firft point of in terest was to see the seine hauling at Weymouth, a point on the mainland. The fisheries at this point are among the most extensive on the Atlantic coast, had and herring and striped !.et. n- t-oach rirj hr.ve already begun their spfjhg rriikia'iott ff"m the deep wt.iers.ot th:1 Atlantic to fb. spiiw nirig grounds, i'.v ; i-ftihe .

The president. Secretary Ofesh-irn and Cspt. J-' alls landed froth the Viojct in gig and inspected the wirkirigH of Hie Da" vis and Weymouth iisheiy hri Cyoiiton f?oiir'd. The tide was favoi aide arid jhe partv was in time to pee one haul of he great seine. This net is about two miles long and ow ing to its great length and weight is beyond the capacity of human labor to handle; so n steamer is called upon. Th- party saw the seine cerefully stowed on the stern of two steam "itas." ss they nreknown. The boats swop acrof the Sound and returned, forming an almost circle and paying out the seine as they ran. Reacting shoie the lines were attached to a steam windlass and in the course of an hour the crrcat seine was landed, bringing in its meshes barrels of fish of all kinds. The President was much interested in the sight. Taking to their gig again, the party then crossed Croatan Island and landed on Roanoke Island, about two miles distant. Here the party visited some of the historic points on the island, including Fort Raleigh and Ballast Point, where Sir Walter landed the ballast which he brought in his ship from England on one of his ship voyages to the new world. The President also stopped for a time at the quaint village of Manteo, thus touching civilization for the first time since leaving Washing ton last Snndav. TfiRy are Coming South. (Springfield Republican.) To those over-confident people who have been claiming all along that New England hud nothing to fear from Southern competition in cotton manu facturing, the report of a correspond ent to the American Wool and Cotton Reporter will prove disturbing. He has been visiting the mills in Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, and finds them nearly all running on full time and earning handsome profits on the investment. Textile manufacturing in th? South has suffered less from the depression than anywhere else, and the number of new mills being built and old ones extended is reported to be surprisingly large. As to the claim that the South will never get be yond the manufacture of the coarser grades of cotton goods, this corre spondent notes n steady tendency everywhere toward the manufacture of the finer grades. It is stated that nearly all the cotton mills in North Carolina have reported dividends of from 8 to 16 per cent, on the opera tions of the past year. Birnerl His Postcffice. St-MTEn, S. C Henry Tindal. col ored, ex-postmaster at Tacksville, S. C, was arrested in this city under the charge of robbing and then burning the postofficeat the place above named. When Tindal's successor was appointed there was on hand in the postofh'ee about six hundred dollais in cash. The night before he was to turn over the office nnd books to his successor the building was burned, ami he claimed it was the work of an incendi ary, and nil the books nnd money and office furniture had been destroyed. The suspicions of the citizens were aroused, and every effoit was made to bring the guilty parly or parties (for it is asserted that ther is nn organized gang of thieves and pbuxb rers there about) to justice. It is believed that evidence sufficient to convict Tindal and some of his jmls hs br-en secured. A Postmaster in the Tcih. Sr a et nbi"rt, S. C A. F.

This is serving notice on New Englul mill owners that they have something? indeed to fear from Soutien competi tion in cotton manufacturing, ftud be old ol iini of confidence is rudely dis turbed bv the test of fact. The Southern States have the cotton ond the right temperature. They have th" looms and the factories. In Vir ginia, the Csk linas and Genricu the mil's have been running fefd!Jy esffl im handsome profits on theinvesfirienf; and tho number of new enterprises on the way is as f.taitlinply suggestive to the New England centres as the con tinned inc'i'ii:-? in furtineesin Alabama and Tennrf see js f(, the iron interests of Pennsylvania. This is a change of base on which there cart be no tariff discount. Textile inanrtfac during in the South is now beyond the Otarsef grades of goods and the iron industry is keeping pace with the industrial de velopment of the day. Philadelphia Times. The So 'th Sfeps in Frr.nt. Among the most fanionsof New Eng land's tine spinning mills are the Had ley Mills, of Massachusetts, with 50, 000 spindles. Their products for th" last twenty years have been kej t sold ahead of actual manufacture. T. C IVgram, secretary and treasurer of the Trenton Mills, has received from a commission merchant, some samples of skein yarns from the Hadley Mills. They were two-ply 30s, and w ere placed side by side with the two-ply 30s of the Trenton Mills. The product of the Trenton compares most favorably with that of the famous New England mills In fact all the novices who examined the samples gave the Trenton samples the verdict of superiority without knowing what mills either sample was from. It would take an expert in tex tile products to defect any difference in the two skeins. When it is remem bered that the Hadley Mills have been running twenty years and the Trenton hardly so many days, the character of its product becomes something to be proud of. Gastonia (N. C.)

Extend to your menials also my thanks. May your shadow never grow less, aud may continued prosperity shine in un clouded warm rays on your benevo lent head." 4 Negro Boy Lynched.

MANUFACTURERS OF Pure Native Wines, French Cog nac, Whre the Sojfh's Money Goei. Under the if-c-e tending the Savan nah News preaches a "rrmon against the disposition of Southern fwvle . f all classes, from cotton planters to" ron ton commisF-ion merchants, to speculate in cotton. Thrt News very truly says fh.it speculating in cotton on tho part of Southern people is almost as much e waste of money o investing in lot tery tickets. Prices are no! rrcnl.itcd by the" law of sur p'y and demand, ex cept in the long run ccrrering a period of Veers, when they may move Tip or down on a ff.ioa! average, as supply and demand may frjjutate. but the speculator who attempts t JTTVe money f'JJ short-time operations is vny gen erally Jeff. The South annually dumps into Wall street fr'!lion of dollars of good hard money fo' pny for cotton losses, and yet very little is heard of it It is within bounds to sny that within the last tweutvyearstheSouth's net 1 -sses on cotton speculations have run up to a hundred million or more. This money, had it been kept at home and lnt'eMed in development enter prises, would have added vastly to the wealth of the whole Hontb. furnished employment to many thousands of hands Slid brought profit to those who owi.ed it. Producing as the South dc--, not far from S2.0O0,ooo.O0' of fl'iricnlturat.iiiaiinfactnrinff and mining product year, there ought to be n tvi v Inrg-o surplus, and this surplus constantly increase as speculation in cotton futures dev-reases. Baltimore Manufacturers Record. The ' B'fck Swamp'' ef Virginia. Three and a half miles west of Aldie, Loudon county, Va., is the locally famous "black "swamp," and a strange story has been current thereabouts for the better part of this ccjitury. Jesse McVeigh livd long ago in an old stone house on the edge of the swamp, nd there came to him oftce a sti anger ask ing shelter. Tfce ttrsflger vae taken in, and h lived there: fof five years. He never went beyond the Swamp for exercise, and he took elaborate pre cautions at night to guard against sur prise. When he died a stranger from a neighboring village came and claim ed the body, professing to recognize the dead man as an acquaintance. The Btranger who claimed the body waa the dead's man son, and he afterward became Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. The father, a wealthy and well-educated Maryland, but a man of ungovernabletemper, had slain a guest at his own table by break ing his sku'l with a decanter. The homicide's place of hiding was hardly more than f-fty miles from the scene of his crime. A Monjment to Mrs. Harrison.
