The magazine supplement of Sunday's Mail and Express was devoted laruely'to facts and incidents regarding Abraham Lincoln,accompanied by a portrait of him copied from Car pouter's famous painting. Every picture of the supplement is a'tri umph of artistic skill, as clean cut as a steel engraving. Jonqnin Miller argues that the Klon? dike region was evidently once a tropical country. Mr. Millar may stand high in the field of poetry, but it would be hard to convince those who'have sprnt a win? ter in Klondike tbnt his geological re? searches have kept, pace with his study of metre. Nothing conld have been more oppor? tune than the proximity of the steamship Ft. Lonis to the Ameiican lino steamship Veondam which foundered at. sea Feb. 7. liut for this fact more than 200 lives would havo been lost by the going down of the Veendnm. As it was, thanks to the hero? ism and care displayed in mak ing the transfer from oue ship to the other, not an accident wss reported, Genetal Cassius M. Clay will institute proceedings for a. divorce from his child wife. The ground upon which the suit will be brought Is not Incompatibility of ten per or unfaithfulness, but plain, old-tashicned insanity. If ihu country could be empaneled for a jury it would be no difficult mat ter to secure a. vordlct'of insanity for both parties, for if crn/.y ac? tions betoken cia/.y people, surely both are good subjects for a commission of lunacy. The South African republic seems to kuow a good thing when it sees it. Five times Paul Kruger has been elected to succeed himself. Political constancy such as this is rarely found and is a worthy trihnte by a loyal people to an nine and courageous ex .-cutive. For a w bile it was >: toss up as to the domination of the conutry by England, but it is pretty safe to say that so long as this sturdy old dip? lomat remains at the head of alTiirs Eng? land is not likely to plant her foot in the Tiansvanl region. All the world seems to be appropriating to itself the old adage of "iu times of peace prepare for war.'' The queen's message urge.- upon pailiamcnl an unpre? cedented appropriation fot am ament. The Senate committee ol the United State.- has more than doubled the amount of appropriation tor fortifications passed by the House. Spain Is using all des? patch to gel her warships afloat tin", are in otocessof building at Glasgow, Japan is prodding up American Guilders of her new cruisers, and on the whole it seems as if the tuitions of the earth are (ach making a .lohn Gllpin race to (quip themselves for war. In all ibis we may lind the strangest assurance for peace, lor the more thoroughly a country is prepared for war the less anxious will other nations be to provoke her to It. The general preparations going on lor conflict argues badly for the tcheme of universal arbitration anywheio in the neAr future. MAKING SLOW PROGRESS. The National Woman's Suffrage Associ? ation begins n ccltbtotion of Its semi '?entennlal in Washington next Monday. degree of success. Colorado. Utah and Wyoming are the only Stuten of tho Union In which women are permitted to vote for all tflicers, Presidential electors in? cluded. In these States womeu are also ePgihlo for cilice, and Colorado has seen lit to bestow legislative honors.on siveral of her women candidates. To a limited extent female suffrage has gained conces? sions in other States, notably in the New England States and the far Western Stntes, but these have been mainly in li unicipal elections. Tho ijuestion of the right to vote will be only one of the inci? dents tbat wi.l occupy the attention tf the body that convenes next week. Hand in hand with woman suffrage poes its twiu'sister, woman's"rights. Of the triumphal progress of this question 1 there is no doubt. A vast army of type? writers,stenographers, commercial travel? ers, telegraph operators, with here and there a doctor, * lawyer, a politician, is ample evidence ot the invasion of woman into the domain of work'once claimed by man alone. Another evolution of this movement has been that caricature of God's handiworK, that travesty on fomi uinity, the new woman. Of ail the good that its advocates may claim for woman's rights anil woman's suffraire it is moie than olTset by the evils that have resulted in the birth of this sex monstrosity.whose baneful influence is beiDg felt upon the higher type of womanhood, where e?"eu it has made its shameless appearance. All honor to tho women of our land who through reverses of laniily fortune, or who to avoid being a burden upon those whom they fain would help, have bravely*faced the sneers and disapproval of associates ami aie making an honest livelihood by daily toil. With this class and the "new woman" there is nothing in common, the one being ia fact the autipode of the other. And yet, honora? ble as this struggle of woman for a liveli? hood among the moiling, toiling thou sands r.f the world,her foothold there has been bought with a price. In dividing with man his responsibility In ihe commercial and professional world, she has lost something of that at? tribute! which'was close akin to divinity. More and more the chilvalric courtesy that man ban been ever wont to pay as loyal homage to woman's claims is giv? ing place to a feeling that, dnce she shares his business life, she, too, should share tho ruder attendants upon such a life. And thus, little by 'ittle, that in? definable atmosphere, "more impenetra? ble nnd pov erf ul 11 an that which doth hedge about a king," is being poisoned by the entrance into it of the idea that wo? man is, no longer dependent upon the strong arm of man to shield her from tho worltls' rude buffetings, but is amply able in all conditions and circumstances of life to look after herself. A BRIGHT OUTLOOK. The most optimistic view of the outlook for the South that we have seen anywhere is given In an interview with Mr. .Ino. S. Williams, of Richmoud, and published in a late edition of the ^Baltimore ^Xew.s. Mr. Williams is a memler of tue well known hanking lirm of that name and is also pregjdcnf; ?? litG (;<'o-gia apd 1 ;\ iiama tillroad. Despite tho low price of cotton he finds it a matter < I congratula? tion that in continst with the idle New England mills, those of the Routh are ! running on full time, and the glare from I mauy uf their windows tells the story I of all night running as well. Throughout the South there seem.-, to ! have been an Infusion of r.cv industrial I blood, causing no awakening to the Im? portance of new enterprises. This has j resulted in the formation < f t ra-'e oruao : Ixntious for promoting the establishment I of manufactures, and t here is at present a movement on foot in Georgia lo exempt manufacturing enterprises from taxation for a period of ten years. This will inev? itably ic a strong bid for thousands cf Northern manufnetttrers who are already templed by the many advantages of^ the South over the North. Political scheming has brought it about that unwise iuw s against railroads and other corporations have been passed which have worked harm by creating the impression on outside investors that it was risky'to put money into this section; but now that the South is aroused to this danger vigorous steps aro being underta? ken to make the world feel that nowhere can capital be nior". safely invested. Of late years, too, there has been a steadv In iltix of population into Georgia and Ala? bama from Western States, and the vaii CUS railroads have fostered this Immigra? th VC ry thought, word mid action i a kc a vi till i I y from 1 lie blood; even nervt?, muscle, bone, organ ami tissue depends <>n tho blood lot- its quality and condition.

Of the railroads themselves nothing shows the improvement of their business better than the record of the Georgia and A labama railway, whose earnings for the last week in Jnnuary are the greatest ever known in any eno week of the com? pany's history, exceeding the earnings for three years auo for an entire month. Such i.- a in i ef and imperfect resume of the News' article, and it is little wonder that it should find matter for congratu? lation in ike improvement of Soutlie?u railroading, seeiug that Baltimore has upward of $1(10,000,000 invested in South? ern securities. Then, tot, any increase ol Southern prosperity means a correspond? ing broadening and enlarging of Balti? more's mercantile trade. Every national phase of the manufacturing nrobletn seems to point to the fact that with the South'a unbounded advantages in soil, minerals, timbers, climate nnd agricul? tural capabilities, it will not be long unill the present wealth of New England will bo surpassed by that of the South,in that there will bo a transferring of the centre of manufacture from New Eng? land to this section. Such facts as these forbid the branding uf any^ man an vis ionary and a dreamer who sees in the South the safest and surest investment that this country now offers to capital. HE KEPT HIS SKA V. Furthermore, He [Explained Why lk Didn't Surrender if . FrODt the Buffalo News: ! ?aw a Utile episode In a Main street car one u's'H last week which illustrates a peculiat condition uf society in the avert go Amer? ican city. The cur was humming along through the upper patt of town. It was a rainy night, and the car was wcl! filled. At every street corner wome i were crowding in, laden with water-soaked bundles and all looking more or less be ilrnugted and out of sorts. At Main and Mohawk Hirtels a ^mart-looking, well dieased young woman entered the car, and stood hanging to the straps. Directly in front of her sat a Br.d-faesd hat very ! respectable-looking man. He looked up i at the young woman, bur, gave no indi? cation that be intended to give nis feat to her. One by one the men had surrendered their seats to the women until only two or three meu remained silt ng. Standing next to the smart young woman was another young man, evidently a man ol position, sho knew her. As the car rushed along toward ('old Spring the sniatt young woman swuug aoout on the straps and showed signs of weariness. Still tbo young man in front of her made no motion toward surrendering his seat. "Oh, I'm so tired; it seems ivj though I would dropdown," she said to th<? young ! man standing by her side. Of course, ! that was too much for tier gallant 'riend, j and, stooping ovet, he ?aid to the sad faced young man sitting down: "My friend, would you have the kibd ! ness to give this lady \oitr seat:- She is very tired." The sad-faced young man folded his arms resolutely nnd replied: "No; I will not have the kindness to give this young woman my sea'. Last. Monday morning I she took my place in Blank Co.'s ns bookkeeper, because she would work for $8 a week less than I wa?getting. If she can take my place in business she can take my place in the street car. ! have a wife and little taby starving at home. I havo been tramping the streets all the day trying'to find work. ^1 am tir.d, too.:' Every body in t he car turned to listen to the sad-faced yonng man's words. They were every earnest. TLe smart young woman turned with a sneer and looked into the face [of tho young iuhii who stood beside her. Nothing more was said. VIRGINIA NEEDS ONE.

The BonIfay, Pia., Breeze says: Last j Tuesday the Breeze man had tl e pleasure i of all interview with Mr. Robert Sylves I ter, of Gadsden county, who now has j charge of .Major A. Lewis' extensive to I bacco plantation near Bouifay, and from him ihe following tacts and figures in re ! lation to the culture of the weed and the ! prolits n it around Quiuuy, were obtain? ed, showing that out people can do as well. The best soli for tobacco is a gray sandy loam underlaid 1 y a 'sti'.V red or yellow clay sub soil: and a growth of dogwood, hickory, oak i nd that class of timber is a good indication of proper constituents It should he rememliered that Hiebest Sumatra can only lie crown on fri ->h land, while Cuban can be grown ? u Jtlie same laud year ifter year. The best fertilizer is cottonseed and cottonseed meal, the latter lo give the plants a ijuick start, ami the former, by it- slower action,InrnUhitig the elements i of growth during the four mouths neces? sary for the ri piling ed the crop For this it will require from tfO'o 100 bushels j of seed, and from live to eight hundred j pounds of meal per acre, to produce the best results. It is not "desirous"to get the largest leaves either in Sumatra or Cuban str ck; in Sun.antTnn tobacco ihe most desirable being from fourteen to sixteen Inches lung, while in the Cuban even ?maller is better, and for this reason 1 would put the plants not over twelve to I Been inches apart in the rows, and the rows not over three feet apart. Having in view the almighty ntieslion of pmiit. Mr. Sylvester was asked as to how the price of tho "'..'7 crop compared with that of previous years, nud answered that if anything it was better, the aver? age pi ice of from twenty to thirty cents, while ihere were bona-fide sales of extia stock up lo iis high as $4. In reference to the cost of pioduction Mr. Sylvester stated that the crop he su j perin'vm'M.l l;.,t yt-nr cost a finsll fr.ic I tion over ten cents per pound from ihe . seed u the market. A brother of his ' grow a crop of 85 acres at a c^st of f) 1-4 j cents pnucd The same, year he sold his crop hi ! r a i'oz.'ii b-aves w?re tut at 45 I cn.fs per p.ut.d, aud when it was known I that win n fertilized as ibove stated from ! j 500 ti. 1,000 pounds per acre can be grown j I and that as high as 1,300 pounds of line j Sumatra has been cut from a single nere, j it can be seen that we have a Klondike here at home. Of course to secure sum resnl's rare- I fn'. painstaking and intelligent cnlture aud curing Is necessary, but what has been done by one can be done by another, nud Mr. Sylvester gives it as his opinion that these results nre .just as possible , here us in Gatlsdeu.
