complaints that are claimed for Mentone. SIT

nos At Aiken, the dew point is low, and the
atmosphere Is so dry that none of the fungus
vegetation or mould depending on moisture
for its growth is ever seen. Owing to Its ele-
yated position, Aiken has less heat in summer
than other points in the State The mean an
nual temperature is 6l.69 degrees, and the
mean winter temperature Is 5l.6S degrees.
Easterly winds seldom blow, and the south

sumptives, are extremely rare. AS "fassas

THE WORKINGMAN.
What he Gets and Wha, he Gives to
Live.

An anlysis of the Fourth Annual Report OF
the United States Special Commissioner of the
Revenue, with reference to the average
weekly wages paid in the several States and
sections for factory labor IN the years 1867 and
1869, and for ordinary mechanical and agri-
cultural OF farm labor IN the years 1861 and
1869; the cost OF provisions, groceries, dry
goods, ,house rent in the various manufactur-
ing districts of the country in the years 1867
and 1869, and the comparative cost Of building
materials and labor in 1861 and 1869, exhibits.
some interesting facts.
There has been an average decrease of the
rates OF wages paid in cotton mills in the
limited States, comparing the years 1857 and
1863. of four per cent. In spite of this decline,
however, it appears that the weekly earnings
of operatives In American cotton mills, omit
ting oyerseers, was IS Sc, gold, in 1859, while
in Great Britain the same year the average
was but So SO. The second table shows about
the same rate ofdecrease in the average wages
paid to persons employed in woollen mills in
the United States, (399 per cent? but at the
same time wages advanced 24.36 per cent,
gold, beyond what were paid in England in
1867. In paper mills the average advance Of
rates. paid in the United States in 1869: over
those of England in 1861 was 81 per cent. e

Here we have rapid increase in the stocks
of wheat, corn and oats since the opening OF
spring business There is now no longer any
doubt of the crops Of wheat and oats, and OF
corn the prospect was never better. The sole
dependence Of spectators for rise is, there
fore, war in Europe. What guarantee have
they that war will bring them any adequate
relief? The first effect OF great war Is to de-
press prices generally and tighten the money
market. Closeness in discounts, by forcing
produce upon the market, would probably
more than counteraet the effect which an In
creased export demand would produce: Be
sides, every days delay which occurs in the
reduction Of the present enormous stock OF
wheat, Increases the danger to which 1t Is ex-
posed from an advance in ocean tfeights. The
last rate paid for Liverpool was sgd, or about
l2 cents per bushel; a great pressure 70 ship
would certainly double this rate, and an addi-
tlon OF II cents to the cost of laying down
wheat in Liverpool would be no trifing mat

The present position OF the markets for flour

sion of repetition to Western operators OF
the severe losses which overlook them In the
few weeks which followed the "Blaek Friday
of last September.

speculation which has caused prices to be main

THE ARMS.

The troops OF the French army are now sup
nlied with the Chass.pot, whose value was
tried in small way on the Romans three
wears ago. The Prussan troops are furnished
with the acknowledgements, or needle-gun,
whose terribly destructive power was demon
strated upon the Arstnans in the battle OF sa-
dowa four years ago. Both of these kinds OF
rifles are superb; but we shall be better able to
decide upon their relative merits at the close
of the frat campaign.

on the commerce Of this country. This, they
think, must materially suffer, as the French
Government will blockade the ports OF the
Baltic. American-German houses will also
suffer for the importation of the many articles
of German manufacture. which have hereto
fore found ready market in this country, but
they generally believe and hope that, owing to
the extraordinary destructive system Of mod
ern warfare, the conflict will be one OF short
duration, and commerce will not be interfered
with long.
The feeling fused in the minds of the whole
German community is the determination TO
fight to the last for Faderland, ana OF great
Ambassador. They esteem the conduct OF
their resolute King, and evince an inclination
to support him to the uttermost. Thousands
and thousands of glasses Of lager were emptied
with many "Hoch" to the success of Prussia.
On the other hand, to the mind OF the excite
ed Frenchman the coming contest Is received
with an enthusiastic welcome. Their country
has received an insult, and they declare that
Prusslan pride must be lowered, in no way
doubling chat their magnificent army, headed
by Napoleon and supplied with Chassepot,
will not only maintain Its ancient glory but
show to all nations that 1t has kept pace with
the progress made in the machines Of war.
Their trusty Chessepot will, they say, prove
more than match In the hands Of their coun-
sia. The Rhenish provinces must be regained,
and an eventual stop put to the increasing and
encroaehing power which has OF late years so
menaoingly sprung up upon their frontier.
They regard the coming struggle as one which
would be sure to come if postponed at this
time, and accept 1t as anecessity.
Fifth and Sixth streets, from First avenue to
Avenue D, might be mistaken by newly ar
rived German for some city In the fatherland,
so thickly inhabitedis 1t by his own country
men Nearly every other house is lager beer
saloon. These, last night: were filed TO over
flowing by an excited crowd, who claimed to
represent nearly every city In Prussia, and to
shout ior Prussian success and German unity.
The talk of all was the declaration Of war.
These men, many Of whom had fought in their
native country, expressed an opinion that
Louis Napoleon would not have an easy time
of 1t; in fact, that the Prussian troops would
soon destroy the French army. Even the wo-
men talked war enthusiastically.
