A German workman ia entitled to all the

This German intellectual Rronaut would rem

tor which he would substitute numbers. Eu
rope, for instance, should be divided into dis
tricts. and each inhabitant be numbered and
registered in the district to which he belongs.
In order that no number should overshadoW

ARTIFICIAL LEATHER process has
lately been brought out IL England for
working up scrap leather and such waste.

are inst rrduoed t" pulp. To do tins the
til cker and haider pieces are pat into
suitable disintegrating or crushing mill,
where they are I'r kan up, care being
taken that the fibre Is not injured. They
are then put with the hinnrr pieces that
dni not require crushing, and the whole
thrown Inf" powerful rag engine and
converted into pulp with water or thin
solution of 45rlatlne, after which it is CON
verCed into sheets. These sheets are next
enclosed between other sheets of thin bmt

MoNZT, CAPITAL, TRADE AND Com

MONEY, CAPITAL, TRADE AND Com
MERGE. - The New York Financial
Chronicle, of Sunday week, says:
Money is not and cannot be expected
to be, easy but when all orders of men
are anxious to unite in making the best
of such misfsrtunes, confidence revives,
the course of events soon resumes its
wonted channels, capital previously lock
ed uD returns to activity, and thus by a
law seldom III obeyance, new stimulus
is impaired to every description of in
dustrial enterprise. Population we are
told, never increases so rapidly, as after u
war or an epidemic has decimated the IN
habitants of a we'll governed country
Something analogous has often been OBJ
served in regard to capital, and in &C
cordance with this principal it is affirmed
by our most sanguine observers that the
prodigious loss of property by fire at
|Chicago will givean impulse to the crea
ton of new capital which will soon re,
place what has been lost, md develop new
elements or rapid increase and vigorous
growth. As tolthe Immediate future there
is abundant reoson for hope therefore
Our bank resources are depleted by con-
siderable drains to the West and South.
But that is usual and heaIthful move
inert at this time of the year. And if an
extra pressure of the money market is met
by curtailing the facilities for spectators
at the Stock Exchange and in the Gold
Room, supply the legitimate wants of their
dealers and Of the public. Probably the
aggregate effect of the Chicago fire could
not be better illustrated than by the de
cline in coal at the monthly sale Wednes-
day. Prices fell off an average of about
so cents per ton, or Is per cent. on the
September sale, with no other influence
than the effect of the FIRE to contribute to
such result.

NEW YORK;, June 25.-The cotton movement
for the week shows continued decrease in re-
ceipts, which this week are the smallest since
the figures commenced to show falling of.
Exports on the contrary are nearly double those
for the corresponding week last year.
Receipts at all ports 90, ,684 bales against "a 046
last week %, 126 previous week; SO, ,402 three
weeks since. Total receipts since September,
1850, ,9H against 2,S13 1923, corresponding period
previous year. Exports from all ports 3S,914
against 1886 last year. Total exports for the
expired portion of the cotton year, 3,046,9l5
against 2,042, l83 for the same time last year.
Stock at all ports 204 593 against 206 sos for the
same time last year. Stocks ut interior towns
l5,947 against AZ, ,S01 last year. Stock in Liver
pool 009 900 against G42, 900 last year. American
cotton afloat for Great Britain 102, 900 against
I0O,O 900 last year. Indian cotton atioat for Eu-
rope 4S1 1856 against 359, ,638 last year.
The weather South has been rainy in many
sections, but there has been no severe storms.
In some sections the plant is looking better.
The Express" says, reliable advices confirm
their previous reports, that late paintings OF
cotton were not successful, and havo been given
up and also, that very large area of land has
been planted with corn. The South will also
produce this year considerable amount of ba-
con, which, in connection with the corn crops,
will place the planters in a much more inde-
pendent position than for two years past. The
advices from India arc unfavorable, and alto
gether, it looks as if the price of. cotton would
be higher in the future, and the increased price
of cotton will help the Southern planters, and
compensate in part for any decrease in the pro-
ductiOn,

A Deserved Compliment.

The New York Underoriter, an authority
among insurance people, voluntarily published
the annual report of the Policy Holders Life
and Tontine Assurance Company of this State,
which is high compliment to this young in
stitution, and is a gratifying evidence of its
increasing popularity and prosperity. This
report exhibits the sound financial condition
of the Company, upon the completion of the
frst. year of its. existence. The President
;cisins very justly that during the present year
there viii be saved large per centage of the
expenses incurred last year in getting fully
into operation, and Of course this reduction will
be to the benefit Of those holding policies, as
il is a purely mutual organization. The man
agement is using it, best endeavors to build up
q Home company that will be credit to the
South, and benefit to the present and sue
ceeding generations. We congratulate the
officers upon the prospect of realizing these
expectations.

ON Saturday afternoon last, colored man
named George Hammond. was drowned in Pre-
Iost's mill pond, four miles west of this place.
From the testimony adduced at the inquest
held ON Sunday morning, by Trial Justice G.
W. Hammond, acting Coroner, it appears that
the deceased went into the pond for the pur-
pose of bathing, and just previous to his en-
trance into the water, he was cautioned by a
white man on the opposite bank not to venture,
as the water was quite deep and the deceased
could not. swim. He disobeyed the injunction,
and before assistance could be rendered him,
sank the third time out of sight. The mill
pond was drawn OF, and the body was dis
covered on Sunday morning. The verdict OF
the coroners jury was accidental drowning, in
accordance with the facts above recited. The
deceased was buried at Mt. Tabor, with mill
tary honors. He was member of the colored
