Yet that is the welcome aad demon Urable fact. For Wine weeks now the news dispatches have contained each day a lengthening list of manu factoriiyr establishments that had v "Timed. Operations. The Tjtoited States Government owns a great many miles of 'longshore tele graph lines, connecting lighthouses, live-s iug stations and other Govern ment property oa the Coast. It is usually easy to recognize these Gov ernment lines by their low poles of rather small iron piping. These poles are planted deep in the sandy beaoh, and, ' being of small diameter, thy present little hold to the sea winds, and thus are seldom blown down. It appears that the Fall Mall Ga zette, W. W. Aetor's paper, got a big scoop on Mr. Gladstone's resignation, having announced it exclusively sev eral weeks ago. Mr. Gladstone wee keeping his intention secret, but some one in his confidence betrayed him, and went to the papers offering to sell the information. He went to several before the Pall Mall Gazette, but none of them were credulous enough, or mean enough, to pay him or bis treachery but Astor. The Bank Superintendent of New York ma'ies, what ths Ronton Culti vator esteems, an excellent reccm menlatioc for the purpu9 of making the banks of that SUt9 safe for thsir depositors. It is that banks which have not Accumulated surplus equal to tw;nty per cent, of the capital stock shall ba required to set apart at least ten per cent, of net earnings bs fore paying dividends, and that this ba accumulated until it amounts to twenty per cent, of their capital. It is quite oominoa ior stiiII baaxe to pay all their, annual earuin in divi dends. When lo:as oscur, as they must in all institution?, t'i9 bank be comes insolvent. If tha Stite obliges ths bank to miinUia a sirplm of twenty per oent. it will bi less likely o be swamped between tli3 times when the bank examiner makes his rounds and looks into the condition of all the banks under his charare. A Denver (Col.) special says: "The Supreme Court of Colorado has de cided that Bishop Warren, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, must pay $160,000 to Andrew M. Adams. The case dates back over twenty-live years and contains romance enough to fill a n.ovel. By the decision the Bis hip must relinquish title to 160 acres of land on the eastern boundary of Denver or pay for it at $1000 an asre. Bishop Watren came into possession upon marrying Mrs. Ilia", widow of a cattle king. Iliff claimed the land in payment of ljans to Adams. The latter obtained judgment from the Government in 1870 fcr $60,000 for cattle run off by Indians. lie fell iu the streets of Washington soon after receiving intelligence of the award and seems to have lost memory of all the occurrences in Denver. Sixteen years later he met an old friead in Al buquerque who aroused th9 sleeping memory of Adams and he lean to in vestigate. In this case the statute ot limitation did not apply on account of Adams's long aberration." In reporting to the State Depart ment at Washington upon the pros pects of enlarging the American wheat trade, the United States Consul at Hong Kong, China, saysthat little can be done at that place, as the Chinesa nse the cheaper rice in preference to flour. He believes, however, that tha opening to trade of new districts ia the Yellow River region and the re duction of duties at Canton will result in some increase. The Consul at New-castle-on-Tyne, England, has no sug gestions to offer, there being no duty on wheat or flour and no obstacle to the extension of trade, which is very important and long established. Tha sources of supply are well known to dealers in Great Britain, and the ovly questions they consider are quality and cost of delivery. Tha Consul at Liege, Belgium, suggests the forma tion of agencies in cities of over 103, 000 inhabitants t? push tha trade. The Belgian millers all admit tha inperiority of American grain, an I but for its higher price it would con trol the market. As it is, although no effort has been made, the trade hn increased in the last tiva year3at tha rate of ten per cent, per annum. Ths Consul at Matanzas, Cuba, reports that we now have tha entira wheat aa 1 flour trade there, and any increase must come from iairaased consump tion by the working classes, who at present use very little flour. Is thres years the trade has increased tixty nine per cent. The Consul at Chris tiania, Norway, thinks that musa might ba done to increase traie with that conntry could transportatoa thither be facihtirsd. Now Aneiiji wheat is delivered at tha pleasure ot the railroads, is often two or thres months on the road, and purchasers are driven to theui?rniain,vheAt HE IS DEAD. SENA TOR ZG VitftE foNE.

The recent law lessness in the Pensylvania coal re gions, where Hungarians abound, the most of them being recent immigrants, hri3 given new spirit o the purpose to insibt that Congress shall prescribe more stringent regulations. This sub ject slumbers unaccountably, although the pressure is great on Congress to act speedily and vigorously. The de mand is from no particular section, but from nearly quarters alike. A complete change of opinion as to immigration has taken place through out the country as the result of the ex perience of the past few years. From the workships, farms, and mines, de mands for more restrictive laws as to immigraion are flowing in, without an objection being heard from any quaitor. Indeed, it is an interesting fact that the sentiment in favor o greater restriction is strong amonp recent immigrants. They see that the welfare of no class is more at stakt than their own. Every fresh arrival of immigrants hardens the lot of those who have come before. In political contests near at hand, the immigration question is going to figure as never before. Organizations .or more restrictive laws and for the better enforcement of present laws are growing up everywhere. If some of them act unwisely, it does not change for fact. The non-action of Congress only tends to increase activity through out the country. Monazite in North Carolina. The mining, or rather washing, of monazite is beconing quite an industry !n western North Carolina. So far it is confined to the counties of Burke, McDowell, Rutherford and Cleveland. The mineral is found in the form of sand in the gold-bearing gravel beds throughout that entire section, the out put being limited only to the demand. one party having offered to contract to snpply 100 tons on short notice. Here tofore a majority of the monazite used in this country has been imported, but the discovery of the North Carolina deposits will not only prove a great source of revenue to the above section, but must at least supply the United States. The mtthods emploved saving it are simply by the use of "Long Toms," or by ground sluicing, as in washing gold. The specific gravity of toe sand being greater than silica, it accumulates in the boxes or sluices and is shoveled out, dried and sacked for shipment Senator Var.zss Legs Paralyzed. Washixstcs. D.

The head of the Interior Department has determined to phine in society and finds that he cannot do so without knowing bow to dance. At several fashionable func tions this winter he has f.-H out of place because of his ignorance of the art terpsichorean, and is determined that another winter will see him an ex pert ballroom guide. Secretary Smith does not vi6h to go to a regular dancing academy; that would be too prominent and atract too much notice, especially as down in Georgia he always said that dancing was the silliest of amusements. So he takes dancing lessons down in the In terior Department building among the patents. His instructor is his private secretary, Claude Bennett by name, a slender and poetic youth, who ueed to be the Washington correspondent of Secretary Smith's newspaper. These dancing lessons take place at night, late at night, when the building is quiet and only the watchmen are around. As all the watchmen are Geor gia, men, owing their appointment to the Cabinet officer from that State, they make no report bf the Bcene of frivolity that goes on in the room of the Secretary. A curious part of the affair is that Private Secretary Bennett himself only learned to dance'this win ter, so that his instruction to his chief is not bb expert as it might be. Mr. Smith is said to be proving himself a very apt pupil. How Many Leaves on Tobacco? German tobacco growers have been tryiog to settle the question that has never been settled in this country, that is: How many leaves should be left on the tobacco plant? In one series of trials plants having six leaves gave a larger leaf surface than those with a greater or less number. The thickness of the l?a! was increased as the number of leaves decreased from six to one. One lot of tobacco plants was topped and 6uckered, another 6imply topped, and a third lot neither topped nor suckered. The Bize cf the leaf was greatest when topping and snekering were practiced, about 25 per cent less when the plants were simply topped, and least when neither wa3 done. T rials were made to ascertain the effect cn the size and quality of the leaves of topping to ten, twelve and fourteen leaves per plant. Not only were the total yif Ids with fourteen leaves the largest, but there plants also gave the largest yield of high grade tobacco. The leaves were larger and thicker when fourteen leaves remained than when twelve were left. In Connecticut there is considerable diversity of opin ion and practice in regard to tobacco growing.

LEW WALLACE AND SHILOH. The General Corrects Some Alleged Miztukes 6f History About the Battle. At the reunion of the Blue and Gray on the battlefield of Shiluh, Gen. Lew Wallace corrected some alleged mis takes of history. He said: "I waa held responsible for years for the calamity which overtook the Fed eral troops the first day of tlu ngbt. and before I received my orders. It was said that I was a laggard am marched onlv six miles that day; that I was going away from and not toward the fight. I came here not to make n speech, bnt to correct history. Jn go ing over the line of my march on April 6, in company with the surveyor of your county, I find by actual chain measurement that, instead of sis milt s, my divison had marched eighteen miles and a little over. I find that, instead of marching away, every step v.cs to ward the sound of the guns. Every man who has been in an army knowt that fonrteec miles is an average day't march for infantry. I marched eighteen miles that day, and did it under the liiOst unfavorable circumstances, through Owl Creek bottom, with tb mud up to the axles of the gun ctr riages. I have been going over and marking the line of fight on the second day. I began the fight in the morning, and ended it three-fourths of a mile beyond thepoint occupied by Shermar in' the beginning."

MADELINE MAY GO ON THE STAGE. iAterwbrth Bays She is a Consummate Actress and a Most Remarkable Womin. Washington, D. C "Miss Tollard is an actress equal to Clara Morris or Sarah Bernhardt," said Ben Butter worth. "She can simulate any passion or emotion, and it is my opinion that this is but the prelude to her going on the stage. I cannot but think that was one of her reasons for bringing the suit and that it was brought in the political and social capital for the theatrical and dramatic effect it would have npon the public mind. "There was no excuse on earth for bringing this suit It was worse than foul, pestilence-breeding contagion. Far better it had been if yellow fever had been spread broadcast over the land and had entered every home in the country than this mass of filth, whose pollution is felt at every fireside. "There is no condoning of Mr. Breckinridge. Ho has done wrong. She has done wrong. And especially has she done wrong in -bringing this suit. I do not think this case will destroy Breckinridge's usefulness. He will stand for re-election. "Miss Tollard is the most "remark able witness I ever saw or ever heard or ever read of. She has her case throronghly in hand. Every detail of it. Never saw anything like tho tact and art of this woman. If there is a time when she has not a ready answer she will make n plea for sympathy to gain time, and all the time her mind is active to coin some nice phrase or apt one in which to reply. "She has nothing to gain if she wins her suit, where tha could havo had everything her own way had the bo willed. She could have gone anywhere or done anything, and a word from her would have been law with Breckin ridge. She could have had what she wonted. "If Breckinridge 'loses he lll move for a new trial; failing in th.t be will appeal." THE SOUTH CAROLINA ROAD SOLD. Ys'hesler H.Peckham. for a Syndicate, Bid it in for SI. 000,000. Charleston, S. C. In pursuance of the decree of tho United States Court made last December, the South Caro lina Railroad was sold at public auction at 1 1 o clock i riday. A large nnmber of prominent financiers attended the sale. lut little excitement attended tho bidding. The road was sold to Wheeler II. Fcekham, of New York, who represented a syndicate of first mortgage bondholders, for $1,000,000. This amounts to the first mortgage bondholders taking the road for their bonds and paying $1,000,000 with which to discharge prior liens and out standing indebtedness. The price paid virtually amounts to something less than 87.000,000. Tha Louisville & Nashville system, which owns about 8D00.000 worth of second mortgage bonds, was repre sented at the sale by J. B. Frobst, but he took no part in the bidding. There are rumors to the effect that there is an undorstanding besween the first mortgage bondholders and the Louis ville & Nashville people by which the latter may ultimately control the property. Mr. Feekham deposited a check for $100,000 with Receiver Chamberlain and the remainder of tli3 purchase money will be paid within 20 days. Hosiery Mill at Valdese. With John Meier in Charge.
