Immense quantities of lilates made from the
common gum tree ground up into wood pulp,
pressed, aro manufactured in Newbern, N. (.,
and aro daily shipped from Norfolk to points

Southern planters aro now preparing for a
decisive test of a cotton harvester 011 their
next crop, and should tho result be favorable,
it will probably work changes greater than
were caused by the introduction of the cotton
gill in tlie prices of cotton.
Iu the middlo of the mum street of Aber
deen, Miss., are artesian wells several squares
apart, which supply tho city with water, liv
ely well is covered with a large paxoda, and
tho ground beneath is pave I. Tho wat. r runs
from snouts into troughs, and passes oft under
ground.
The South possessea in her varied and valu
able woods tho basis of enormous future
wealth. Tho manufacture of cabinet woods
and ftirnituro in the South can be made one of
her leading industries, as the material is al
most unlimited and tho water power for fac
tories abundant.
A stock company has lcn organized at
Montgomery, Ala., with paid up capital stock
of i:iu,lKi for an extensive manufactory of
aoap, ball potash and axle grease. Cotton
aced oil will tako tho place of oil ul and grease,
aid to bo far superior. The vntcrprisu is ill
the hands of leading business men.
Jay Gould says that tho Southern Stateaaio
increasing beyond all precedent. Cotton man
ufactories are being established in all direct
ions, and in Florida manufactures of furniture,
etc., aro numerous; tilings that they used tu
have to depend on tho North for exclusively,
they now make for themselves.
The cattle interest is becoming immense, tho
growth of which can scarcely be measured by
estimate or figures. Tho great trunk lines of
tho Missouri FaciUo railway will bo taxed to
thoir utmost to furnish transportation for thia
already vast and increasing traftlo, It is esti
mated that from the first of thia month tn
October not less than 1,000.000 head of cattlo
will be shipped over theao lines from Texas to
Northern points. In thia no estimate ia made
of horaea, sheep and swine that will aeek north
urn markets.
In reference to the cotton industry in Au
gusta, Oa., which haa been represented as in a
aorloua plight, it ia now stated that all tho
mills are running in full, and the Sibley mills
are alaout to inorease their capacity by new
machinery. Two out of the ten mills have de
cided to reduce their wages, but it ia claimed
that these two mills pay higher wages than
any of tho othcra. The real cause of the
trouble is the short cotton crop of 1883. Many
of the Southern mills did not buy sufficient
when cotton was low, and the tirescnt high
price doea not make them particularly anxious
to work it up. Mills with an abundant stock
of cotton will go right along.

that on the evening of the collision there was
a thick fog, iho Liixham was going slow am

The Gijon struck thn Laxham nimd-hip and
the latter waa neailv cut asunder. Tlie luuiicl
fell and the atcamninn burst. The chief enel
neer, in reversing tho engine, was horribly
scalded. Most of tho l.axliam a crew
boarded the flilon. Captain Lothian
tied his wife and child to himself
and all three woro thus hauled aboard tho
Gijon by a rope. The Laxham sank twonty
minutes after tho collision occurred. It was
not long before tho GiJ.m began In aettlo.
Terriblo confusion prevailed on board. The
Csptain stood with a revolver In his
hand, but he waa unable to keep order,
Tho passengers and crow were lighting for
their Uvea. Tho boats were lowored and
filled to the eunwalea but they could not ac
commodate half the people. Those who wore
to fortunate aa to secure places in them were
obliged to keep off others with knivea. The

As rulcB for temperate litiiig are generally
inteniperatcly acted upon by nuny people, it
is almutt useless lo inako any health auggcJ'
tloiis. Kvory sensible man ought to know
what ia lest for him lu tho matter of eating,
drinking and cxerclso, but when he doea know
he frequently acta in opposition to his judg
ment. Any excess will kill if persisted iu. In
tensity of mental effort has mado many men
famous and put tlmn prematurely under the
and. Humboldt, Newton, Titian, Michael
Angi'lo, Milton and Ooetho aro great nanus.
They lived long because they took lifu easily,
liapliacl, Jlyron and Schiller wtio great men,
but they binned their c lies at both ends.
They livid ill a blaze and expired ill a bliue.
We must set our faces agiiinst excesses of all
kinds excess of food, excessive drinking, even
of water, excessivo fatigue, cxceasivo mental
effort, excessive excitement whether from
worry, grief or pleasure, and even excessive
rest." The judicious uscof the nerves, muscles,
digestive powers nnd menial faculties will keep
a man from cither wearing out or rusting out.

Filthy soil iiudci rlaiu cuiditiona of heat

and lhe virulent substance iu it multiplies a
thousand fold and ia carried into wells and
water courses and even risis into thu atmos

in a timo of cholera, and Boiiielinies thero is a
risk of the feeders of a reservoir la'ing tainted.
Cholera is not always most destructive during
ils first year. In Ifaly In 1S03 it carried off
13,000; it almost died out in tho winter and
spring, revived ill the autumn of 1KH6, appear
ed to die out iu the following winter, but in
1867 broke out so disastrously that 120,000 peo
ple died of it. While wo cannot control heat
and cold, rain and drought, there ia ono thing
wo can do. We can heed Lord Palmerston'a
memorable reply to tho Free Church of Scot
laud when ho met Iheir suggestion of national
fsslimr and nraver with the counter suggest

Cift iHttreat baa been exoitod uytiivdii
covery of vast rcservola of natural hydro
carlsiu gas under a Is-lt of territory eitcmling
from Lake Ontario southweatwardly to J?itt
buig, l'a., and thence through West Virginia,
east Kentucky, Tennessee, and probably north
Alabama. Ill some, of tho gaa wells there is no
sign of oil. That this gas will be extensively
used for iUumiuatioii and fur fuel iu the fnturo
is generally conceded and extensive prepara
tions are now being made iu Pennsylvania tu
use it for both purposes. Ouo thousand feet
of gas is equivalent to four husuelaof bitumi
nous coal, plus the cost of labor saved lu hand
ling the coal and firing and getting rid of the
furnace refuse. Gas wells average 1,800 feet
iu depth, and it costs from t3.H00 lo tfi.OOO to
drill ami case one. The duration of the well
is not known. Wi Us opened twciity-fouryearB

A thoughtful observer who has studied the
beer question iu our cities does not agree with
tin- position taken by some people that the in
troduction of lager Is-cr has reformed our
drinking habits. To a certain extent it may bo
true of young men and business men, but it
has had the elV.-ct of increasing tho drinking
habit inn. .ng the ps.r, and especially among
the women. 11. i r is cheap, and it is moreover
held up as a temperance drink, l'oor people
with the blues gradually get to drinking Isper
t . cause tin y find Hint it makes them either
jolly or stupid. Later on they find that laser
creates thirst. They drink two or three glasses
and want more. Almost before they know it
they arc drunk, and it is generally admitted
that alavr drunk is worse than any other kind.
.Me is not so bad. Alter drinking four or five
gla-ses of ale it becomes nauseating and a man
has to slop. It will lie a difficult matter to
stop hen-di inking. People insist that it la
not intoxicating; that it is good for the
). alih, and as lhe elVecl is stimulating it ia
natural that poverty, mental depression and
bad health should I. a. I people to indulge in a
bevel -age which liny have been taught to ro
und as harmless. The beer evil is looming np
as Hie able -bodied brother of tho whisky evil.
It is only another direct road lo drunkenness,
disi ,1-c ami jimjaius, and it is timo to show it
up in its true colors.
