Au historical writer of recent cinti says that in the year 1820 it was notb ing uncommon to ste teams of trainee, bison in Illinois and Missouri. One htudent oat of every sixteen in America is studying for the ministry. Tho Rome papers comment favor )y upon the United .States CJoveru raent's. proposal to establish emigra tion at'fccts in Italian ports. The report tJiat the Panama syndi cate has been rehabilitated is not borne ut by the acts. Employes and mer chants p.rfj leaving the Isthmus and everything is at a standstill. Tn pit; of the fact that New York's requirements for a medical license are ho highest in the Union, it in tho bast F thj Mail and Express that the Empire State heads the list of doctors with 1 1,1 71 licensed practitioners. The 1 'resident not unfreouently makes his appointments at large to the military and naval ac:ileuiie from among the son3 oT army an 1 navy IH rs. Much as the officers of the two services grumble at grievances r3.il and imaginary it commonly hippens, notes tho Detroit Free Press, that they aro glad to see their son-j appointed to the academies. A writer in Harper's Weekly, in eulogizing James M.

Canada promises to offer notable treasures to future historians of this continent. The Archives Department at Ottawa now presents for reference 120!) volumes of original correspon dence, aud many hundreds of copies 'ef documents bearing upon the history of tho New England colonies, Acadia, French Canada and the more western regions. The British War Office hand ed over to the Department some time ago eight tony of valuable historical material, comprising 400,000 official documents. Chemistry seems likely to furnish substitutes for the expensive perfumes now made from flowers, predicts the New York Sun. It has long been known that the exact odor of the banana in produced in the laboratory. There Keeius i possibility, however, that even when some fragrant plants cease to bo cultivated for tho perfumas nauy may become of importance in surgery. It has been discovered that some bitch plants are free from the at tacks of insects and from fungus growths, and this may bo due to the fact tint their essential oils have anti septic qualities. The eucalyptus yields an antiseptic, and no do other familiar plants. Now that it ia stated that dollat wheat may no longer be expected be cause of competition of Argentine, Russia and India with the United States, attention is called by the New York Independent to tho fact that tho average number of bushels per acre raised in the United States ia but twelve or thirteen, about half the average in England. Agriculture iu ( Jreat Britain is more intensive, more careful methods and more fertilizing material being used, with the result of a lunch larger crop. If American farmer are to meet steady competi tion hereafter it will bo no surprise if by nuMiis of improved methods in m K'hin. ry an 1 in farming they reduce expenses by increasing production.

King, of Atlanta, is endeavoring to introdncea galvanized wire netting for compressed cotton, with a covering of wood pulp, renber lDg the bale impervious to water, od or other liquids, and practically fire proof. It is said that a bale of cotton dressed with wood pulp can lie covered with this wire netting as easily as with jute bagging, and that the expense is not beyond the ordinary cost of pre paring a bale for market, while it af fords almost abseilnte protection against fire.

C.; formerly of Lancaster bounty, the tc boeeb cecliou of Pennsylvania. Having an experience in the cultivation of golden leaf tobacco I think it would interest some of your readers to know how it is grown, cultivated and market ed, and something about the profUs of raising it. The golden leaf y disHnet Hecie?', as rnuth ed as lle liavaria seed leaf. It is a small variety seldom yielding more than a thaud, pounds lb tlie ace. The b?st adapted to bright lo'oacco growing is comparatively poor lrnd. The finest soil so far discovered is on the Pialeigh & Gaston Railroad, in the counties of Vance and Warren. As soon as tobacco ia cut it iscarried to a barn, which is Wade ?f !o; the cracks filled ill with iar.J, similar to A log cabin, except that the tobacco bara s much higher. The houe titted" op with . fir:!K! 8n.4 fines' running lengthwise through the building. After the tobacco is hung in the hoiie as thick as it can conveniently tin things fire erted and kept up until the desired color is obtained. When tfee wtnthet: rteconies lavel ' alle a liltl&ciamp.thetobaccn is taken out and stripped from the stalk and assorted according to quality; it is then ready for the market; the market ing is different from the wiy put bom1? people in VennpvhsHa riiiirket their tobacco. At Henderson, in Vance county, and Warrenton, in Warren county, Rre what are called sales ware houses large one story buildings with skylights. Kach Variety ff tdiflccl lirue;h4. I'll bj trie farmers piled sep arately, with a little tag sticking on the top, giving the number of pounds and the name of the grower, Each warehouse hi?" ftH auctioneer and laiiy there is an miction sale of tobacco which was brought in the evening previous. There are usually from twenty to one hundred buyers, and the proprietor of the warehouse1, who gets a coirniissict tH each poll rid of tobacco sold, is niso a buyer, and he is interested in making the tobacco of his customers bring the highest price for he wants his warehouse to be pop ular with the farmers, therefore, the growers get the css'rt frr the tcbrtcco as prion as it is sold, the warehouse proprietor paying the farmer and col lecting from the buyer. Ifthe farmer is not satisfied with the prices paid he 'an notify the auctioneer at the time that there is no sal ,. In this way there is no chance to "swindle the producer.' The tobacco lands arequite valuable, is the net returns per aTC, from the tobacco culture sometimes go into the hundreds of dollars. In South Caro lina ami Georgia, on the Heuboard Air Lino, the lrtud is considered as suitable for the cultivation of light golden leaf tobacco as the lands I have referred to, nd they con be bought at $5.00 to 15.00 pet acre. There is a demand :or good tobacco, and the profit is sure if attention is given to its cultivation. The South has thousands of acres of idle 1-tn-l that the native citizens are anxious for people to come iu and oc cupy. Their preference is for North ern and New England farmers, and from my observation all Southerners are anxious to accommodate Northern settle! s. I have settled on the Seaboard Air Line and find the officials of the road ever ready to do all in their power for emigrants, especially Mr. T. J. An derson, of Portsmouth, Va., the pas seuger ngerit. who is careful to have some of his men to meet strangers on their arrival. Such consideration goes a long way to make people feel welcome in their new homes. Cnilin't Stay Away From tho Soith. Geoeoe P. AxPEr.sos, Lewiston, Rcrtie county, N. C.--I am a Southern man by birth, but spent many years ii; the West, finally returning to my na tive State; but I have never found f liner climate than in North Carolina In iny garden, radishes have beer growing thus fur this winter. Cab bnge. turnips, lettuce, and beefs stand out in the gardens here and grow all vinter long. Our soil is a sandy loam, with a clav subsoil, which will yield, w hen proper ly treated, two crops a year. But it tiiiist not be forgotten that our soil, like that of any of the other States, nust be manured. Farmers the world ver know that they cannot constantly take from their land and give the land nothing in return, without suffering .onsequent loss. Another thing: the so-called woruont lauds of the South ire just as good as they ever were. All they need is the same treatment with manure that the lands of the North re eeive. Our chief crops are cotton, te haceo, corn and field peas. Our peo jde are hoppitable, generous, and so ciable. From the experience I have had in ther States I cannot see why North Caroliuu should be behind any of them iu the line of manufactories and kind red industries. We raise the cotton, and should manufacture it into cloth. There is room here for paper mills, vith the raw materials for its manu facture lying at our doors. With our immense fruit resources we need more canning establishments nnd more evaporators. Two crops of sugar beets will grow here per year. Why do we not make sugar? Jn fact, we need cotton mills, sugar refineries, canneries, tobacco factories, wagon shops, broom and box factories, paper mills, and many other industries, and we have the water power to turn all of their wheels. Hops can be grown in the South at a profit, as well as in the State of Washington. Ramie can also be grown here, and, if it pays Texas, it would pay North Carolina. We can produce and manufacture silk in our State, and the silk industry should be an impor tant one here. The South s Cotton. The world has 5, 000, 000 cotton -piudles, one-half of which are in Great Britain. This country has about 15, 100,000, of which the South has 2,700, 00. And yet the South raises over f0 per cent, of the world's total cotton supply. The field for an increase in Semtliern cotton manufacturing is unlimited. It would take an invest ment of over $1,200,000,000 to build mills enough to consume the entire cotton croji of the South, and when inanufactured this cotton would com mand over $1, 000, 000,000, instead of seding for $.300,000,000 a year, as it does now. Five Rioters Killei. Usiovrows, Ta. Last week the Stickle Hollow mines of the Washing ton Coal and Coke Company, midway ln-tween Fayette City and Laytou sta tion, were the scene of the bloodiest enconnter since the strike begun. Both sides were in fighting shape, 72 armed deputies contending with a mob of from 1,500 ta 2,000 strikers, about 200 of whom were armed with all kinds of guns. Five strikers were killed and eight or more wounded and three dep uties were wounded. CONFEDERATE M35MORY. HEMEHAHCE OF GUH SCLDftfiS.

Ben nett pn4 Chaplain J. A. Weston, of Hickory, find menibeffi Si the eehirni tee of arrangements. After these cam the boy band of theLasayette Military Academy, of Fayetteville, 20 pieces: which made excellent music. The Fayetteville Independent Light Infan try of 40 men marched behind luii band. THE VETERANS. There were cheers, loud and long, for the next feature t-f the proeeion. the Confederate neterans. At the head of the long line of these rode Col. Ed ward D. Hall, of Wilmington, the ma jor general commanding the 'LTnited Confederate Veterans" is, North Caro lina. There were -120 veterans in line In front of them Veteran Jairies A. Leach, of Thomasvill. bore the tat tered State flag of the Forty-eighth In fantry. It was riddled with shot holes. In the line was borue the famous Tether fla? of the First "Bethel" Regiment; the company flag jf the Wake Rifles; a "battle flag" of Brynn Grimes Camp, C. V., of Beaufort county, and the torn "battle flag" of the Fiftieth North Carolina Infantry. Iu carriages immediately following IL'ese veterans, were Mrs. Armistead Jones, the president, Miss Maggie Cowper, the secretary, and other offi cers of the Ladies" Monument Associa tion, t whose earnest, untiring and loving efforts the State owes the mon ument whose cornersione was laid. The Granville county veterans, com manded by Dr. S. D. Booth, 90 strong, escorted tho monument association. In the rear of them was the Agricultu ral and Mechanical College battallion, two companies. Capt. Charles Pearson, commanding; the fire department of Raleigh, with Chief Edward B. Engle haril in command, came next. A mounted company forty strong, brougkt up the rear of the very hand iome procession, this detachment being in command of Mr. Wayland Dowd. Iu the procession were forty veterans from the Soldiers' Home. Junius Daniel camp paraded nearly 150 men, Dr. P. E. Hiues being in command. 11 these marched in the veteran bat tallion. of which the Fayetteville com pany was the special escort. The vet erans were as guy as boys. Gov. Carr called the assemblage to order and the choir sang the "Old North Si;:t-i'' nud a hymn which was based on "Stonewall Jackson's" last words, "Let us cross over the river and rept under the shade of the trees." The oration was delivered by Hon. Thomas W. Mason, of Raleigh. He paid surpassingly beautiful tributes to the memory of the Confederate sohlier. Col. Tate and Jddge Bennett also de livered orations. BRIBERY. Thousands of pnllars of Money Said to Have Been Offjred to Bjy Senators. Washington, D. C. The special committee appointed to investigate the charges of bribery alleged to have been attempted by Major Buttz, and also to consider the doings of the Sugar Trust in connection with legislation, held two sessions behind closed doors and with newspaper men and the pub!:? ex cluded. Senator Hunton knew nothing ex cept upon hear-say evidence, but told the committee what he had learned fiom his son. Eppa Hunton, Jr. was next put on the stand aDd told the committee how he had been approached by Major Buttz and offered a sum of money if he would induce his father to vote against the pending tariff'. Senator Kyle was on the i-tand longer thau arjy one else, for it was developed that the offer to bribe had been made to him direct by the man who stands charged with the commission of the offense. At least this was the inter pretation put upon the testimony by the committee. Senator Kyle testified that Mr. Butfz had offered him money for his vote, saying that he could have $75,000 and made an offer of $14,000 down. At the afternoon session of the com mittee, Buttz was kept on the stand for upwards of three hours. It is un derstood that Buttz denied vehement ly that he had made any attempt. Making it Rot for Breckinridge. Lexington, Kv. Col. Breckinridge was shown up in all his wickedness by the Hon. Wm. C. Owens in his iuitial address to the people of Scott county. Mr. Owens was greeted by a large crowd, filling the hall at Georgetown to overflowing, and many who desired admission were turned away. Fully three hundred women were present, wearing Owens badges, and they joined in the applause in a man ner that plainly demonstrated that the womanhood of the district is bitterly opposed to sending Col. Breckinridge back to Congress. The epplause was almost continuous throughout the speech. Resolutions gotten up by the people of Scott county were read certifying to the good character of the Scott county man and passed by a rising vote. The speech was full of strongly framed sen tences against Breckinridge and its enthusiastic reception indicates that Scott county is against the Colonel ia earnest. The Colored Man' s Nomination Confirmed. Washisoton, D. C. The Senatecon firmed the nomination of Chas. H. J. Javier colored, of Kansas, to lie re corder of deed in the District of Co lumbia. The vote was 32 to 15. Tavloi comes from Kansas City, Kan., and was appointeel through the influence of Senator Martin. Vozion In Triuej get in their bill as, soon as possible after a patient dies. The law decrees that their bill areth first to be paid. APPEAL NOT SUSTAINED. tHE CASE OF UtSS SADlt MEANS, Of tfVLumaiit, v.

He claimed that the session had honestly conlounaea 'acts and the legul conclusions to be lednced from them. He argued that the use of the telephone on Sunday was i necessity and the result of its use was o lessen Sunday labor. His speech was a strong presentation of the 'synod's position. Dr. Lnj ton spoke in favor of enforc the law as it stood, and not construe laws to fit every caHO. This was not a pieelion of what the law should be but .vhat it was. If Means' work was a lectssity the should not be disciplined; if it was not. she should be. The ques tion was: "did the Synod do right?" He argued that the session and Presby tery did right. Then the vote was taken and each nemberhad tw o minutes to explain his ote and express his views. The roll all began at 2 :20 and closed at 5:40. The result was not to sustain the ap ical from the Synod, 77; to sustain, '.0 ; to sustain in Tar 8. Memphis, Tenn. In the Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church the committee on foreign correspond ence presentee! its report on the over ture from the Presbytery of Mecklei burg, asking that a committee be ap pointed to negotiate with a view to closer relations with the Associated Reformed Church. The committee re commended the adoption of resolutions in any form agreeable to the Assembly of the Reformed Church. The resolu tion Tvas adopted. The executive committe on colored evangelization presented their report, which re-affirms that the establishment and maintenance of a separate African Church assures the most successful measure of salvation of the negroes. It asks that $15,000 be raiiied for this purpose. The committee on organization with the Northern Presbyterian Church, re ported in favor of rejecting the over ture made by that Chnreh. The Assembly took up the considera tion of the next meeting place. Rich mond, Va., and Dallas, Texas, were the applicants. The Assembly by vote decided to hold the next meeting at Dallas. The committee to whom was referred the report from the Svnod of South Carolina in the case of Miss Sadie Means, charged with violation of the church's law by working in a telephone exchange on Sunday, and who was found guilty by the Presbytery of Charleston, reported that there v enough in the case to warrant the con sieleration by the General Assembly and that the papers made out a case of complaint rather than appeal. Some discussion was had, and it w as agreed to leave tho matter to the Tote of the General Assembly without further re ports. CLEM SON COLLEGE BURNED. The Cadets Work Heroically to Save tht BjildmgLoss 950,000. Greenville, S. C. Fire at Clemson College, the agricultural college ot South Cnrolina, was discovered Tues day morning in the third story of the main college building at Fort Hill. At first it did not appear large, bnt soon made great headway enveloping the whole building. The cadets were promptly awakened and formed into a bucket brigade. Three lines of hose were turned on but it was soon apparent that the building was doomed. All efforts were directed to saving the chapel which joins the college and dormitories just opposite. There was no wiud end a slight rain had fallen and thedormitoriesescaped. the chapel being slightly injured. Some things were saved from the first and second stories, and everything of value in the secretary and treasurer' omVe was saved. Many books from th library and reading room were burned The loss is estimated at $50,000; in snrance, $20,000. The lire is suppose1 to be the work of an incendiary. In vestigation will follow. Class rooms will be fitted np in the new mechanical building and the available rooms, and college exercisei will be resumed immediately. Th board of trustees have been summoned by wire to meet on the 23th instant Until then it is not known when tht work of rebuilding will commence. Scant inspection has been had of the building, but it will probably have to be rebuilt entirely. The casualties to cadets were slight, the most serious being J. E. Brogdem, sprained ankle.
