KNOXVILLE MANUFACTURES.

We met day or two ago with a men,
Der of one of our manufacturing firms,
who had been travelling in the interest of
his house, in Northern Georgia. He re-
ports that the merchants in that locality as
well as Southwestern Virginia, North Ala
bama and Western North Carolina are all
disposed to regard with favor, the products
of Knoxville Manufactures. He related
how he called upon merchant in one of
the towns down there, whose stock was
made up, to large extent, of goods and
wares manufactured here. He found boots
and shoes from the establishment Of Nj
chols, Page, Francisco & Co.; saddles
from Tom O'Connor; nails and castings
from the Knoxville Iron Company and
the Knoxville foundries brooms from our
broom foctories /; tobacco from Doll d Left
witch, &C., &c. He thought this most en-
couraging exhibit, and we think so too. 1t
speaks we'll for the character of our manu-
facturers. 1t is evidence of the excellence
of their goods. Further, it shows that
merchants in localities easy of access to
us are turning their attention towards
Knoxville and her manufactures, and is
evidence of spirit, which, if properly en-
couraged, will result in bringing popula-
ton and wealth, not only to Knoxville,
but to all East Tennessee There has never
been time, within the history of our city,
when our natural facilities for manufacture
ing could be more readily taken advantage
of. The minds of the people, all over this
country, need very little teaching to con-
vince them of the Importance of sustain
ing home industry. They cannot see
why we should send away hundreds and
thousands of dollars.every year to purchase
shoes and boots, when we can manufac-
ture them at our own doors just as cheap
ly as they can be manufactured in Mas
sachusetts. They cannot see why we
should contribute all our means to enrich
other communities when we can just as
well enrich our own. We would be glad to
see this spirit further developed. Our own
merchants throughout this country have
this matter in their hands. If they re-
solve to patronize home institutions, when
they can do so profitably, it will be but
short time until our manufacturing estab
lishments will be increased four fold and
our population and wealth in a like pro-
portion. We hail every earnest, energetic
manufacturer as public benefactor, to
some extent, and commend him to the
consideration of every man who is inter-
ested in the future welfare of our country.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

Nothing better illustrates the rapid
growth and progress of our country, than
her educational strides in the past few
years. OF these efforts to educate the ris-
ing generation, take for example the es-
Enlistment of her Agricultural Colleges.
Until recently it was secuted as an idle,
impossible theory to establish schools for
the practical education of farmers; they
were supposed to learn only in the old
drudging way, and farmers themselves
were the sloweSt to yield the opinion.
Said one OF so years experience, while dis
cussing the point, "None of your book
farming for me, L got my knowledge by
blowing and digging and practical, hard
working experience" "Yes," said his
friend, land if you were to sit down, after
your thirty years experience, and write an
account of your way of blowing and plant
ing and draining, do you not suppose it
would be of great practical advantage to a
young farmer just starting, to read your
book ?'' And that is the argument that
has convinced at last. 1t is by gathering
the experience of those who have spent
labor and time and strength in years OF
experince, and putting it into form that
one may learn an profit by it, and with
land enough to test and apply the book
knowledge, that the schools are a great
help and are yet to become a greater power
and help in theadvancement of the science
of Agriculture.
We find agricultural societies in this
country founded as early as 1884 that OF
South Carolina and Philadelphia being the

FIRE PROOF BUILDINGS.

The recent experience of Chicago has
demonstrated that, though fire-prOof build
ings, so called, have their value in ordn-
airy circumstances of expense, no building,
unless constructed on the plan of a fire.
proof safe, can Withstand such a volcano
of fire as wept over that city. No build
ing fit for human habitation or occupa-
ton can be made absolutely fire-proof.
On of the fine fire-proof buildings thus
burned was that of the Academy of Sci
ences. The loss of the magnificent collec-
ton of objects of national history there
stored, is, to considerable extent, ire
parable. A portion of this was the great
Smithsonian collection from the Arctic
SEAS of which we believe there is no du-
plicate. Eye witnesses say that the whole
atmosphere seemed to become red hot-an
atmosphere of fire-and poured like hot
lava into and through the strongest and
closest edifices, filling them throughout
with flame in an instant.
A private letter to a gentleman of this
city explains the complete destruction of
these buildings. AS is well known, the
plan on which ffre-proof buildings are
built is to have iron joists, between which
are sprung arches of brick orof corrugated
iron, and the whole being levelled up with
cement-the floor is laid on this founda-
ton. These iron joists very soon become
red hot from the burning contents of the
buildings, and being then too soft to sup
port the immense weight of brick and ce-
ment and other materials yielded and bent
and allowed the floors to drop through, one
after another, wrecking the whole build
ing There would seem to be no way of
avoiding this difficulty, except by support
ing the joists at very short intervals. OBJ
viously our ideas of what constitutes a
fire-proof building will have to be a good
deal modified.

hrst. There were others soon after, all of
which were active in their labors to ac-
eomplish important results; but it was
many years before the habit of reading was
sufficiently common among the actual til
lers of the soil to justify the publication of
the transactions of the several societies, and
it was not until 1856 that school was es-
tablished for agricultural instruction. The
first one was in New York, and the follow
ing year another was established in Michi-
gan. Since then, they have sprung up in
many other States, and Congress has now
made an appropriation to establish one in
every State in the Union. The one we
have here is in flourishing condition and
will make its influence felt in the future of
the farming interests of Tennessee. 1t has
a sufficient fund at its disposal to insure a
competent corps of instructors, and we
hope to see its efforts to secure a higher
and more thorough system of agriculture
meet with approval and encouragement
from the agricultural classes. It is idle to
say that theories of farming can not be
taught practically and efficiently. AS be-
fore said, there are truths worked out by
years of patient labor which ought to be
recorded and taught to the less experienced
farmers, and this can be done best through
Agricultural Schools. We trust this good
work will not be unfavorably considered
by our farming classes. Progress is mark
ed in every department of labor and sci
ence, and the farmers are most interested
in encouraging it in til cir class.

| PERSECUTION OF THE JEws.-The powers
of this world once more turn their att.n-
ton to the Jews. They are to be re-reSll-
| lated In Algeria-t. c., their liberties, due
to Nj. Cromieux, are to be restricted III de-
ference to the noble savage Of the country,
to whom Jewish industry and Jewish
| pcaccfunesS ire very offensive. IN rather
better spirit their aff,iys arc being taken
up now also in Prussia, where. ever since
| l8i7, the date OF that famous "laGdtlg,"
they have been divided into syna9ogal
communities with some sort OF shadoWy
autonomy. Several attempts to place their
aff4irs on somewhat more satisfactory
basis have hitherto failed under the aus
pices OF the cultuS minister. This time,
however, some recognized authorities be-
longing to their own body have been lE-
yited to report and to propose plans for the
lmelioratiou of the status quo, and,
as Herr Won Muller will probably
require q long rest after his return
| from the waters, some steps Ill advance
may possibly be taken shortly. AT the same
time Russian statesmen are dellGeratlnS on
| the future position of the Jews in the Rus
sian Empire. Before 1851 no Jew was per-
mitted to douiicile In central Russia, nor
was he allowed TO enter Russian territory
without special permit; and whenever he
wanted to stay more than tWcnty-four hours
at place he had to pay Il heavy price FOR
the indulgence. Since 1861 all Russia has
been opened to them, AMI The question OF
finally regulating their position III The em.
pire proves to be one OF 40 little difficulty.
| A project of the law has already been LAID
before the imperial council, but no dscis'
ion has been arrived at As yet. The Schte.
tsche Ze,tung tells story apropos OF the
debates there, which is not only apocry-
phal, but has done duty on at least dozen
| OCCASIONS, though it has never perhaps been
] told 50 c;rcumstantially. WDen, In 1881, IL
Ibecame question of existence or ncn-

council BludIow had the present Emperor

hours debated in the warmest manner, Dnt
Bludlow had not spoken one word. Ills

Mr.. Greeley continued: "Wool Is now at
a very high price. and my opinion Is, that
it is the most profitable thing that q farmer
can devote his attention to- You should
have ten thousand sheep upon your Reser-
yatinn, Their coats Of wool could be read
ily sold for six dollars each, thus making
an income from this source OF sixty thou
sand dollars each year. (lIere Swallow
tail looked at the other Indians In utter
astunishmcnt. The other Indians turned
pale at tho stupendousness Of the scheme.]
Then there is another thincI am told :
that you sometimes yoke your women to
the piow, and that when they refuse to be
so yokcd you don't plow at all. This is o
great mistake. You can raise nothing with
out blowing, and if you would prosper
YOU must pl0w deep. Your women are not
strong enough TO draw plow as deep Us it
ought to 90 iuto the earth. Your soil
should he turned over from depth OF at
least two feet, and you can never do thls
with your women. You must get steam
plow. Steam is more powerful than women,
and (sarcastically) it Is easier TO manage.
You have in your Reservation many squares

draining? | am afraid not. Now, your land
should be thoroughly drained. Much OF It
is swamp, and have no doubt that which
is not is too moist to grow good crops.
Draining can be done at very little expense,
aud it repass the cost hundred fold.
II an afraid that many Of you are too
much addicted to bunting and fishing to
pay much attention to your lands. You
Should not do this. Your game and fish

But have not space to give MIR. Gree

strain for halt an hour. Ee told the In

should not allow his agent to rob and plum

When the name Of Maj j. FL. Wa.uberse.
OF Aihemarle, was called during the eya,ni.
nation Of the talesmcn summoned in the
Sands case yesterday, the Mojor was asked,

he had found on The table in his chamber
at the hotel Oh the night before. This
morning ne had mentioned the occurrence
to the Commonwealth attorney, and il
was by his advice that he now brought it
to the attention of the court.

any knowledge of the paper, but in justice
to the accused they desired also in his be.
