The Empire of the South, its re souces, industries and resorts, publish ed by the Southern Railway Company, being a complete history of the South land, with an exposition of .he present resources and development of the South, by Frank Presbrey, is on our table. Typographically it is a most ex cellent piece of work, of 1S2 pages, 9x11 inches, printed cn heavy calendared pa per and profusely illustrated with hanlsome pictures of famous resorts, important public and private buildings, picturesque mountain, river and lake scenes, tobacco and cotton fields, or ange groves, &c. It embraces interest ing write-ups of Wasington, D. C, Vir ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Ken tucky and Florida. In all it is one of the most complete and handsome edi tions eve- gotten out by the great Southern Railway Company. It is a wise turkey that knows when to diet.

Of the wonderful richness of the new ly discovered pearl-beds along the coast of New Caledonia, Consul Wolf, of Noumea, says that a little boat of one and one-half tons furnished twenty-two pounds of pearls in 1S97. These pearls are or the finest water and are pink. ; yellow, gray and black. As high as 236 pearls have been found in one oys ; ter shell. The waters have been fished only to a depth of seven feet, owing to the lack of divers. A Parisian syndi cate, however, capitalized at $200,000, has obtalnel a concession covering i:;0 miles of coast, and with the latest Im proved machinery wdll fish waters to a depth of seventy-five feet. At the greatest depths the largest shells are found, and the consul predicts a won j derful Increase of the world's wealth In pearis. The Increasing number of robberies In France has led, to the formation of an assurance society against losses by theft. The New York Tribune sug gests that It might pay such a so ciety to start a school of thieves, as the more widely the latter ply their trade the greater Is likely to be the success of the new enterprise.

Modern Investigators Doubt Tales of the Wealth of the Montezumas. City of Mexico Two Republics. The two Republics would be pleased to satisfy the laudable curiosity of a reader In Pueblo, who wants to know something about the population of an- eiont JU-xico and Montezuma's treas ure. W'c are ur.abis to do so, however, wish recrard to either miestion. As to th-3 . forr,ler question there is a variety of opinions. Foreigners who spent ana read the English language have usuauy taken Proscotfs word for it, and Fies cott ha3 undoubtedly given a very Ercatly exaegcrated word painting of the situation that existed prior to and ights of imagination not valuable for historical purposes, and the conqulsta dores delighted in mentioning the names of emperors, princes and such, which undoubtedly magnified the importance of their own accomplishments. Ignacio Altamirano, who gave the subject profound study, is of the im pression that the City of Mexico at the time of the arrival of Cortez consisted of nothing but rude huts and a popula tion of about thirty thousand. The Two Republics is inclined to accept Mr. Al tamirano's statement. Few men In the republic were In a better position to get at the facts, and none have been more conscientious in their investigations. f While it may spoil some very beautiful i fiction, facts compel us to the belief 'that the Aztec people were very iar f as the great "emperor of the Aztecs, is said to have frequently anpeard at courts in undress uniform, and to have eaten his meats at very irregular hours. out of a huge pot that always stood on the fire. . What the races were that preceded the A.tics might be another question, lu;t. us for tiie .Aztecs themselves, there is little relit'elo information to warrant its in sayin;T that they were much above the plane of hundreds of other tribes that populated Mexico ireneraiions ao, or for that mutter, still form numeri cally the greater part of our popula tion. As to Montezuma's treasure, that is something of a myth. One good priest who was connected with the first occu pation of -Mexico stated, upon seeine.' a parcel of gold in an Aztec establish ment which stood on the present site of the Monte I'ieJad. that it appeared to be more gold than he thought was to be found in the whole world.

TEE K.MSEU'S i:Hi SOLDIEI'.S. f-,"n,','n Chronicle. "The talV-st man in his army," who is aee.impenying the Gi-r.uan Emperor in the vis't to the East, is a grenadier named t hiemke. wno is nearly six teet ten inches in his stockings. This Fred erick William Mania of the Kaiser's is an old device of his for impressing the foreigner. On returning from his first visit to Constantinople, in 1SS1). the Em peror snt the Sultan a complete set of kettledrums, which he intrusted to the tallest officer in his army, Lieutenant Pleskow. who is very little, if at all. un der seven feet. Once, indeed, when this Prussian guardsman looked o',v n seven-foot garden wall and risked a gill picking c-ecscberrics therein what was the way to so-and-ro. the simple maiden told him to ride first to the right and then to the left, and he would linil the place he wanted. The nyrnpth had honestly fancied that an officer '. overpoering her garden wall like th must necessarily be on horseback! Till-; Cl'UAN TARIFF. An Eearly Modification of the Tobacco Schedule Expected. The treasury's temporary tariff cus toms for Cuba will probably soon be modified in some particulars, especially in the tobacco schedule. It is com plained by persons engaged In the to bacco industry in Cuba that German tobacconists have discoered a method of .competing with then, which is liable to prove disastrous in more than one wa y . The Germans can make a cigar for five dollars a thousand which they can send to Cuba, pay the present tempo rary duties, and ship from Cuba to the I'nited States as Havana cigars, sell ing them here at eight dollars a thou sand, and yet realizing a very neat profit over all expenses. Eight dollars a thousand is as low a figure as the Cuban remonstrants say they can reach with the first cost of the cigars, and they consider the competition very unfair as regards prices alone, to say nothing of the damage done to them indirectly through the sale of inferior German stock under the Havana name. The treasury will probably impose the Dingley cigar schedule In place of the temporary schedule of which complaint is made. MEN AND WOMEN. Sir William Lockhart, the new cqrn-mander-in-chief of the British forces in India, is a veteran of no less than ten campaigns on the frontier, the last one being the war which ended at Tl rah and Dargai. He Is listed as an "Infantry general," but nearly all his service has been with the cavalry. The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Sirelitz has Just celebrated his seventy-ninth birthday. He is thus only five months younger than Queen Victoria. The King of Denmark, however, Is ol der than either, having passed his eightieth year, while the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, the oldest of the ruN ers of Europe, Is over eighty-one. " The oldest inhabited house in Eng land stands .close to the River Ver, and about 2D0 yards from St. Alban's Ab bey. It was built In the time of Kin? Offa of Mercia, about the year 795, and Is ithus over 1,100 years old. It Is of octagonal shape, the upper portion be ing of oak, and the lower walls of great thickness. At one time It was forti fied, and bore the name of St. Ger man's gate. Boston's ten public Ice water foun tains cost the city forty cents apiece per day during the summer. Water Commissioner Murphy is now making arrangements whereby Ice will be cut this winter from reservoirs belonging to the department and the cost of the free ice water will thereby be made merely nominal next summer. , No other preparation has ever done so many people so much good, as Hood's Sarsaparlila, America' Great est Medicine. asy to Tako asy to Operate Are features peculiar to nood'3 Pills.

The only pills to take with Rood's SarsaDarlllf DEMAND FOR WAR RELICS. A Well Established Trade In Odds and Ends Has Been Built Up. The demand for rellcB of the Spanish war is so great that a well-established trade in these odds and ends is now In operation. There are more than a dozen places In New York where authentic war relics are classified and sold. The prices ob tained are high, and may be expected to Increase. Curio collectors consider the relics a safe Investment, and several of them are buying up everything they can find. The relics are brought to this country for the most part by soldiers returning from the front. Many tons of stuff have been brought to the city in this way. Some enterprising dealers have made trips to Cuban battle-fields with the purpose of enlarging their collec tions. A great deal of valuable material, from the collector's standpoint, is accu mulated by the government, and this is ''n time to time disposed of at auc tion. . sale of captured Spanish guns is expected to take place in Washington soon, and scores of bids have been re ceived. Oovornment material sold in this way is accompanied by receipts, which, of ecmse. guarantee the genu ineness of the relics and embrace their value. The relation of many of the relics to the war is remote. A glance at the price-lists shows that war relics are an expensive luxury. The smallest trin kets seldom sell for less than a dollar, mi i i nc- puces ranse to the hundreds. The cheapest articles in the regular trade are Mauser cartridges, filled or empty. Enough of this ammunition .-eeros ti have reached Neve York to serve for an ordinary battle. The Mau ser cartridges used by the Spaniards were made in Germany and are stamp ed with the maker's name. Eut there are nicks in al' traces. A clever imitation is o:i the market, which resi-ir.bles the original iosHy. but made in this country. A "e'luiine Mauser cariritte is worth a d.iilar in the I'.roadway stores, but it must be dirty and ihse.iloreil to blii g this fig ure. The imitations soil for ten cents. Shells and bullets from Cuhau battle-fields are the in :-st pnp'.i'ar of nil the relics. Empty brass shoes from ma chine guns arc much in diinaivi. and make uma.-uv or,:ani, ills. There sell for ?:! apiece. The price varies accord ing to the size. Another interestiner c;:rt:id;;re is the brass-covere J bail cartridge v hich was used by the Spaniards contrary to the laws of nations. This, is shaped much the same as the Mauser, except that the bullet is coated with brt'FS, and is poisonous. These cartridges are worth about $2. Cartridge belts once worn by Spanish soldiers are considered valuable relies. The canvass belts, empfiej of their car tridges, sell for from ?3.r0 to $!. F.ner leather belts used by the officers bring a dollar or two more. Hides picked up on Cuban battle-fields command good prices, whether they be in working or der or not. A good Mauser rifle with an authentic lii.:oiy can be bought on Broadway for $25. A few small field pieces used by the Spaniards are now in the possession of the government, which will soon sell them at auction. Ifuttons pickei up on the battle-fields or cut from the dead soldiers uniforms are also quite nu-. nierous. i ney sen lor a aoiiar or more apiece, the price depending upon the rank of the officer as denoted on the button. Any part of the apparel of soldiers or sailors on either side makes a good relic. The epaulets of an officer or a piece of his gold braid will bring a fair price. One New York dealer has for sale a pair of leather leggins which he values at $5. A cutlass or sword, if there is a fair chance that it is a genu ine relic, is worth from $10 up. A bot:'e ,f Spanish powder can be bnught for a quarter, and even stones from the battle-field sell for something, though it is impossible to prove these authentic. T'inkets picked up on Spanish war ships sell well. These include silver toast-racks, glass and china ware, pieces of csrret. metal from the' vari ous parts el the ship, bolts, screws and odds and ends. One enterprising Broadway merchant has secured the sliver bell 'if the Cristobal Colon, which is net for sale, but is valued at thou sands of dollars. THE APPETITE OF A GOAT.
