It is the manifest destiny of this
country, sooner or later, to monop

South America, and one of the
prime essentials to this desired re

is Spanish. But very little atten

felt in commercial circles within
the next generation. Our able

On Account of a Technicality He
Longer MlnUter to Mexico.
New York, Aug. 17. A dispatch
from the Recorder from Washing
ton, says: "Matt W. Ransom of
North Carolina is no longer Minis
ter from the United States to
Mexico.
"That office was practically de
clared vacant to day by a decision
rendered by" Holmes Conrad, So
licitor General of the United
States, and acting Attorney General.
Mr. Ransom's incumbency was
declared to be contrary to thi
Federal Constitution, and the act
ing Attorney Oeneral Sustained
the action of Mr. Thomas Hol
comb, Auditor of the Treasury for
the State Department, in declining
to pass favorably upon Mr. Ran
som's vouchers for salary and ex
penses.
"The decission was based on
section 2, article 5, of the Cot.sti
tution, which declares that 'No
Senator or Representative shall,
during the time for which he was
elected, be appointed to any civil
office under the authority of the
United btates which shall have
been created, or the emoluments
whereof shall have been increased
dnring such time.
'This provision apparently fitted
the case of Mr. Ransom, for he was
nominated by President Cleveland
and confirmed by the Senate be
fore his term of office as Senator
from North Carolina had expired,
and during that term the salary
of the Mexican mission had been
increased $5,000 a year.
It is due to Mr. Ransom s oc
cupancy of a seat in the Senate
chamber at that time that he is
to-day without an office and that
he is a debtor to the Government
for the amount of salary he has
drawn since assuming his diplo
matic post.
"The matter was considered in
formally by the President- and
members of the Cabinet at the
time, but as no formal question on
the subject was raised by any of
ficer of the Government, the status
of Mr. Ransom was not impaired.
Kansom continued to draw his
salary of $17,500 a year, but it was
only recently that Auditor Hol
comb, when he came to pass upon
the accounts of the Minister.
found himself uoable to approve
the payment ot his salary.

Our present commerce with those
countries is as nothing to what it
will be twenty five years hence,
when a knowledge of the Spanish
language will be absolutely essen
tial to all young men engaged in
the counting houses of the firms
engaged in business with that part
of the globe. Let parents and
pedagogues, therefore, cease their
bickerings as to the respective
merits of Greek and French, and
put into the boys' heads a practi
cal knowledge of Spanish, which
they will find it not difficult to
build upon a tolerably fair founda
tion of Latin. French may be the
language of refinement, and as
such its acquisition is more or less
desirable. But the great lan

Perhaps the oddest pavement
ever laid is one just completed at
Chioo, Cal. It is made mostly of
molasses, and if it proves all of
the success claimed for it, it may
point a way for the sugar planters
of the South to profitably -dispose
of the millions of gallons of use
less molasses which tbey are said
to have on hand. The head chem
ist of a sugar factory at Chioo,
Mr. E. Turke, was led to make
certain experiments, of which the
new sidewalk, a thousand feet
long, from the factory to the main
street, is the result. The molasses
used is a refuse product, hitherto
believed to be ol no value. It is
simply mixed with a certain kind
of sand to about the consistency
of asphalt and laid like an asphalt
pavement. The composition dries
quickly aod becomes quite hard,
and remains so. The peculiar
point of it is that the suo only

be ex
pected. A block of the composi
tion, two leet long, a foot wide,
and one inch thick, was submitted
to severe tests and stood them
well. Laid with an inch or so of
its edges resting on supports, it
withstood repeated blows of a
machine hammer without showing
any effects of cracking or bending.

Howard Payne visited In 1833,
when he visited that section for
the purpose of ascertaining for
himself the true inwardness of the
scheme of the general government
to transfer the Creek and Chero
kee Indians to a point beyond the
Missississippi river. Rob Roy,
now old aod decrepit, loves to tell
of his trip from the Indian nation
with Mr. Payne. The old colored
man remained the faithful servant
of Miss Mary Harden, Payne's first
and only love, so far as is known,
up to the time of her death four
years ago. She had the original
copy of "Home. Sweet Home,"
which was given her by the author.
It is now in the possession of her
niece, Miss Eva Jackion, of Athens,

It has been definitely decided to
have a bull fight at the Cottoo
States and International Exposi
tion. It will be given in the Mexi
can Village on the grounds.
A letter fiom the concessionaire
just received gives the following
description which indicates that
this feature will rival the Wild
West show as a drawing card:
The arena will be the regular way,
and a full troupe of the best bull
fighters in Mexico, with a supply
of trained horses and cf the finest
bulls will be brought to Atlanta.
It will be an exact reproduction of
the famous bull fights of Spain
with ooe exception the balls
horns will be padded, so that be
can do no damage, the horses
will likewise be protected by em
bossed leather shields, so that the
whole fight may be carried out
without the slightest creulty or a
bit more bloodshed than is seen
at a Wild Wast show.
The troupe will all be dressed in
the most picturesque and beauti
ful costumes. After the bull is let
into the arena, the picadors, on
horseback, will enter and display
all the scientific bravery that
makes bull fighting such interest
ing tport. All the interesting aod
beautiful moves with the capes, io
fact, and the skill tbat can be
shown io the cape-play will be ex
hibited. So well trained are the
horses that they elude the most
furious charges of the infuriated
bull. When the bugle sounds
again, the picadors retire and the
banderillas come in. It is their
task to stick flags on the bull aod
decorate him for his funeral. The
sticks used, instead of beingbarbed
as they are in the real fight, will
have bird lime or some similar
substance on them to make them
stick. After six of these have
been placed skillfully on different
parts of the bull's anatomy, the
bugle again sounds and matador.
the hero of the ring, enters to give
the now infuriated animal the
"coup de grace." He awaits
steadily the last desperate charge,
gives the death-stroke with a tele
scopiog sword, and with great
agility gets out of the way. After
the fatal blow has been given, the
bull is ooce more driven back to
bis pen, none the woise for the
fracas except for a little violent
exercise, aod awaits calmly the
next performance.
The troupe is now training io
Mexico, and several satisfactory
rehearsals have already been made.
It is likely to beone of the strongest
attractions at the Exposition. It
is certainly the first show of the
kind ever seen in the United
States.
