THE DEATH OF MRS. MoCO0K

Mrs. Edward NJ. McCook. formerl,
Mary Thompson, of Peoria, Ills, is DIV
ing at this moment sad sight for ,
woman of brilliant beauty, warm heart
and social and intellectual culture
She was literally bounded to death by
the chivalrous politicians of Colorado
and such vagrant and corrupt newspa
per writer's here in Washington as
could be hired to .assai everything
that her husband held pure and holy.
Her husband was a major general OF
cavalry-one of the seven McCooks.
brothers and cousins, who went out at
the beginning Of the war, from the re-

Edwin NJ. McCook was minister 70
the Sandwich islands, aud governor of
Colorado for a full term. He and
his brother fell in love at the same
time with Miss Thompson, while she
was at boarding school at Philadelphia.
She was remarkable for enamel-skin,
perfectly naturel, with roses in it,
and her large and beautiful eyes, and
iuxuriant, gold-colored hair. Educa-
ted, yiyacious, aud adapted to public
life, she was the social administration
wherever her husband went, and her
descent was in measure eminent. She
was the grand niece Of Charles Thomp.
son, secretary Of the continental and
federal congress, and also Benjamin
Thompson, Count Rumiord, the cele.
brated statesmen and sayant. Her ia.
ther Sylvester Thompson Of Peoria,
was the step. brother Of the daughter of
Oliver Wolcot, Mrs. Knowlton, )who is
still living in Washington.
Governor McCook was very proud Of
his wife. His enemies began by say.
ing that she had great influence with
Mrs. Grant, and more mysterious in.

that fhe was another Mrs. Williams.
The little scamp with scared white
lace, who sends driyel to the Chicago
IImes,was about the only person capa-
bic OF abusing this young and interest.

send his wife to Brooklyn but this

The Someryille, (Tenn.) Falcon of
this week says: "There is not shadow
OF doubt that the independent party in
Tennessee desire to reunite with the
democracy provided the union can be
ELECTED on conservative grounds.
Even Colyar, the leader of the indie
pendents, urges concord and harmony
"in order to defeat radicalism." The
republican party in this state is now
forced to carry the dead weight of forty
thousand negro voters whc are demand
ing admission to the white schools and
whose clamors for civil rights never
cease. Such motley organization Is
not we'll calculated to invite the co.

A USE FOR TEXTILE PLANTS,

ANeW orleans 1 Imt~.)
Among the latest visitors 10 the city
is Mr.. Arthur Robottom, Of Blrmine-
ham, England, who has inst completed
an extensive TOUR in South and Cen.
trail America, the West Indies and Mex.
leo. This gentleman has devoted much
time and labor to the study Of textile
plants and the processes Of their manu- J..
iacture-a subject Of great interest
and Importance to all civilized coun-
tries, but to which special attention is
paidsin England, the manufacturing
centre CT the world.
One incident alone will suffice to
show the zeal and PERSEVERANCE, with
which Mr.. Robottom pursues his in
quiries and studies. Ascertaining that
use had been made in the manufacture
of stiff brooms and brushes, of voge-
table product from Mexico, that well
replaced the usual stiff hair bristle, Mr..
Robottom proceeded to that country !;
and, accompanied by the British Con-
sui, went into the interior, among the
Indian labOrers and country people,
who form the larger portion Of the
population, to discover the plant and
the process Of preparing it for expor-
tation. 1t was with much difficult that
he finally succeeded in his object, the
natives being DESTROYS of keeping the
secret to tho0selyes. The plant is one
of the many varieties of the cactus so
common in Mexico, aud is called by
the Indians the Itzle--oyidently one Of
the old Aztec names. As some twelve
hundred bales Of this plant we're
shipped from Mexico via New Orleans
asst year,the importance of this disccv- |
Try can easily be appreciated.

their fun can't last longer.

A RESOLUTION has been introduced
into congress TO limit the speeches o
members to one hour, on all question:
and all occasions. This has been don,
on the score Of economy by the com
mittee on printing to reduce tho
amount OF printing ia the congressional
record. Retrcnchment aud reform is a
good motto for congressman to 90 by,
but the people can well afford to in.
dulge them in extravagantly long
speeches. When we see the mis-
chievousncss of some of the laws passed
by congress return to plague, not the
inventors, but the people, it becomes
question whether it is not better for
congress to talk much and do little.

THE rapidity with which.t the forest

THE rapidity with which. the forest
trees Of the West are being cut down
for fire wood, for building purposes, and
for railroad ties, has attracted the seri-
Gus attention not only of the farming
community, but of Legislators and pub
lie men generally. The general as
sembly of Illinois at its last session.
passed law giving TO the farmers of
the state premiums for tree growing,
the premiums to be paid by the state
when the trees shall have attained n
certain growth and assured heal,hfuI.
ness. As single instance Of the vast
amount Of lumber used in the United
States, we cite the number Of ties used
in the construction of railroads up IN
til the present time-onc hundred and
eighty-four Mullins, six hundred thou
sand and twenty. six millions, three
hundred, and eighty thousand are re-
quired annually to keep them in re.
pair The price ola tic ranges from
fifty to eighty cents; they are cut from
young trees, two ties from a tree. To
supply the never-decreasiug demand
for this kind Of timber in the future
will require millions Of acres Of forests
which farmers aad tree growers will
have to plant. The "money in it" will
not DO SO quickly earned as by the cul.
tivation Of the cerials or fruit but it is
more certain and more remuneratiye.
"Ailowing three hundred trees to the
acre, which is a small estimate" say. o
writer-yho has made trcc-culture q
study,"an acre OF trees planted in 1874
will IN 1884 be worth three hundred
dollars for railroad purposes. The
tops will be worth as much moro for
wood, making six hundred dollars, av.
ersging more per year than most farm
ers can make by raising crops cxclu-
siye!y."
