The SUver Dollar 1 j The Iron Age, the great exponent of the hardware trade of the country arid one of the most influential trade journals published, has finally reach ed the point of admitting the solidi ty and permanency of the develop ment and prosperity of the South ern States. The following was the leading editorial in the last issue of that paper: ' . j The traveler through the South cannot butjto be impressed by the'evi dencesof prosperity on every hand. He may have been inclined to dis credit the lauditory articles on Southern progress which he had pre viously read, but the evidence of his own eyes is too convincing to be lightly dismissed. The residents of other sections have heard so much of i . . i the Southern boom in real estate and manufacturing property that it is not at all strange that they have been looking forward apprehensively to the. time when 'the boom would col lapse with disastrous results. This has been the case in other localities, and it is therefore, to be expected in the South. But the predicted col lapse does not yet come. AVaves, of prosperity and of depression pass over thejountry with the effect of increasing the Southern pace during the former, and slacking it a little during the latter. The prophets of disaster have not entirely ceased to predict evil times ahead for Southern investments, but they i have so often failed that greater confidence than ever seems to be reposed in South ern land and manufacturing schemes. Sufficient time has now passed since the South entered earnestby in to the manufacture of iron to de monstrate the reliability of the ba sis upon which it rests. This ex plains the situation and furnishes the reason why the expected collapse in Southern speculations has been so long deferred. Haw materials cheaply mined and lying close to gether, with but reasonable wages I paid to labor , and ready access to the lest market in the world . for their product these are the keys to the situation . The success of early enterprises has stimulated the estab lishment of others, and the stream of gold pouring into the South seems to grow larger in volume rather than smaller. So strong is the tide now flowing: to the South that the industries of that section promise to be maintained for years, until some overwhelming financial crisis occurs of world-wide effect which will be as severe in Pennsyl vania as in Alabama and Great Brit ain, as in lrffimai fortunes are being made so rapidly in the South that capital is becoming domestica ted there, and auxiliary enterprises which are being undertaken will serve to assist, if not support those which were first established. It is a most promising sign of the times, and is as well an indication of the wide-spread prosperity of the South, that the manufacture of fin ished products is rapidly being in troduced. Many of the new towns now springing up so rapidly in Vir ginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and Alabama will hav blast furances, it is true, for their coal and iron ore deposits, make this industry natural and desirable but at the same time steps are being taken to manufacture some more ad vanced product than pig iron for sale to other localities. This policy has been preached to the South ever since the beginning of an iron in industry there. But the preachin would never have been effective without the great movement now in progress of active business men toward the South. They are seek ing locations near the cheapest raw material in the country, so as to jet every advantage possible in compe ting with other manufacturers. The most important question to most manufacturers todaj" is how to cheap en the cost of their product so as to preserve a foot-hold in trade. And that question is being solved to some extent at least by the move ment of factories toward the South by enterprising men who see a bet ter chance there than in an over sup plied North. Manufacturers' Re cord . . In Louisiana the returns show in some of the parishes a greater white increase than negro increase. The New York Tribune says: "In Red River Parish, for in stance, the increase in the last decade has been, whites 44.2 per cent., ne groes 27.3 per cent." Delicate Attention Shown Male Ouests by tho La dies of Iceland. There ia an old ceremony in Ice- and of showing civilities to stran gers prevalent in remote rural dis- Mien. It i that tbe ladies of toe bouse shall pall off the trousers ot tbe disconsolate travelers. Tbe theory is that, as the rain may be expected to be always falling, the trouser must be wet at bedtime, and as the regular day's pony ride is about forty miles the adventurer from other lands nhould be exceed ingly weary, aud iu need of gentle encouragement and assistance. It is thought, therefore, that it is nothing but an act of politeness and true concern lor the welfare of the traveler that the most agiee- able person in tbe bouse shall un dress his legs. I may add that there is uot among the Icelanders who perform this solemn rite the remotest suspicion that there is any indelicacy in the performance. t is lelated of the most pious missionary who ever visited the islaud, Henderson, who contribu ted Bibles throughout the island fifty years ago, that his business of pulling off his trousers was a sad embarrassment to him, and some- j what prevented the development of his vital piety. He could hot re fuse to accept the hospitality of the good people among whom he distributed the good work, for which they were grateful in the ex treme, aud he finally managed a compromise aua systematizea u. He insisted upou firt rolling him self in a blanket audjtheu upou uu hariH ssiug himself as to suspender aud waistbauds, and then, and not uutil then, be allowed th ladies to sieze the offending garment by the straps (which he uniformly wore to keep his trouers, legs down when riding) aud pull them off. So while they took tbe trousers in triumph be spared bis modesty all tbe rudeness of tbe terrible shocks that would otherwise have been in flicted. This philosophical aod in genious minister published a large volume about his roubles in Ice land, and the story he tells about his trouble with his trousers is very droll, and in fact is quite pa thetic, aud profusely garnished with pious relictions. (N. Y.)Led ger. Col. Keoh and the Force Kill. But the most significant circum stance about this whole matter of new federal election machinery is to be found in tbestroug objections raised by many of tbe prominent white republicans of the Southern States. The most sagactoas and tbe most respectable of these ques tion very soriously the wisdom and tbe expedience of tbe measure. Mr. Thomas B. Keogh, of North Caro lina, for many years the most in fluential Republican of that State, while in the offices of the Sun Bu reau to-day, expressed decided dis sent to the policy of more legisla tion to regulate elections in the South. He said tbe caucus bill now pending in the House wan needless, that it was plainly unconstitutiou al, and if enacted would entirely fail to accomplish the purposes for which iuteuded. Its only effect would be to disturb harmony and promote ill will. He said there was a time years ago. when the re publican party in Congress, if it bad tbe courage, could bave set tied it permanently. That time was passed, and no legislation which tbe Republican party may ever be able to enact can suffice to repair, the error which it has com mitted. Baltimore Sun. Extreme Race Predjudic. Memphis, June 24. Parker Harris, Ed. Cars and Hardie Bal lard, (colored), aud Frank Brenisb, white, were hanged this morning, tbe colored murderers .taking the plunge into eternity together at 11:24 o'clock and the white dropped alone at 12:22 o'clock . Arrange meuts'had beenjtnadeto hang all to gether, but Breniah objected to be ing hanged with negroes, and his desire to die alone was gratified. Many complaints are made about the way the census business is being conducted. It cannot add infamy to Republican methods, but it may intensify public indignation and hasten the doom of that party. New Berne Journal, Now that Uncle Sam is engaged in the business of taking down the names of his sons and daughters, the subject of names is one of some interest if not importance. As archi tecture is frozen music, so the names of jpedple may be said to be frozen character, for as a rule they express some personal attribute or quality that was supposed to belong to the original 'forbears" to whom they were first given. The derivation of many is so obvious as to require lit tle comment. Among these may be: mentioned the names suggested by animals as Lion or Lyon, Fox, Wolf, Hogg, Hart, etc,; those sug gested by fish, as Fish, Roach, Crab, etc., and those suggested by birds, as Eagle, Hawk, Robbins, Jay, Crane, Martin, Drake, etc. Doubt less some of these names were origin ally fastened on men as nicknames, and we can imagine the rare fun that our savage ancestors of say the stone age, got! out of this name-giving business.! : Another numerous class of names t were derived - from occupation, as for instance, Smith, Farmer, Brew er Baker, Barber, -Butler, Cook, Carpenter, Carver, Draper, Fuller, GkYcr, Hunter, Mason, Potter, etc. Many names are 1 derived from members of the body, as Hand, Fqote, Legg, and Leggett,itsdimin- ut ve, Tigh (Thigh,) Faust (Fist,) etc A few are derived from articles of wearing apparel, as Collars, But ton, Stocking, Patch, Cuff, IMckey, Gildersleeye, etc. i rhe olid titles of royalty and no bility furnished uch names as King; Duke, Earl, Marquis, Baron, Prince Noble, Squire, Knight, Constable, etc. ! -' ''- : , jsuch names as Appleton (Apple town.) Plum, Cherry, Berry, Bean, Tree, Flower, Forrest, and a host of others point to an origin in the sweet simplicity of nature. INames ending in man, as Lyman (Leighman) Hillman are numerous and tell their own story . But the names ending in son as Johnson, Watson, (Wat's son,) are more nu merous still. It is natural that the son of the primitive John should be referred to as John's son, and so in time it became a surname. The ety mology of surname, by the way, is probably "supernomen," or addi tional name, through some say it is a corruption of serename, the same of the sire. Had To Do It.
