Manufactured Silk Advnncing.

In recent issue of the Tribune attention
was called to the fact that very great IN
crease has recently taken place in the cost
of raw silk in the countries where it ia pro-
duced. A general rise in the manufactures
of silk in this country must inevitably and
promptly follow. Notice was given of
meeting Of manufacturers of sewing silk
and twist, to take action in the premises
and to arrange for q uniform basis of action
in advancing prices for their goods. A gen.
eral meeting of the trade was held ye6ter-
day at the Office of the Silk Association of
America. No. SO Duane street, and en-.
braced a large number of leading manu-
facturers, assembled from Massachusetts,.
Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
of an organization of the sewing silk and
machine twist manufacturers OF America.
William Skinner, of HOly0ke, Massachu-
sets, was elected chairman. and Franklin
Allen (secretary of the national association
was made secretary.
After general expression of views ON
the unprecedented recent rise in the prices
of raw silk in all markets Of the world,
amounting to fifty or sixty per cent in the
past six weeks, it was considered futile
longer to ignore in this market the IN
China, which have already advanced the
prices in all foreign markets to rates ruling
higher than here. A general advance Of
twenty-five per cent on all classes of silks
manufactured for this trade was, therefore,
recommended to take effect at once, as q
measure of projection to the manufactur-
ers, and committee was appointed to sub
NIT at an adjourned meeting Q plan for
more united action in all matters affecting
the welfare of the sewing silk and machine
twist trade.
The meeting was perfectly harmonious
throughout, and augdrs we'll for q better
understanding among those interested in
this important branch of industry. 1t was
stated at the meeting by one of the leading
manufacturers that he had already notified
to his customers of an advance on certain
classes of finished goods, amounting to
thirty.six per cent over prices ruling pre-
viously. 1t was the general sentiment of
the meeting that this advance of the prices
of manufactured goods could not be longer
postponed, and that it must be permanent
for considerable period. The stock Of
raw silk in New York in first hands does
not exceed $50 bales, and there are not
much over twice that number on the way

HydrOph0bia in France.

Some information has recently been pub
lished regarding hydrophobia and the
treatment of dogs during the season IN
which hydrophobia is supposed to regularly
break out in France, which may be inter
esting to this country. In Paris, to take an
example, all unmuzzled dogs are taken
possession of by the police, but, instead of
being indiscriminately slaughtered, are
taken to what is known as LA Tourriere,"
q sort of reception house for dogs and in
which good care is taken of the animals
until they are claimed. They are divided
into two classes, valuable and valueless.
The former are kept eight days; after that
time has expired, if they are not called
for, they are put up to sale by
auction, and, in the event of no purchaser
being found for them, they are hung up in
sidered of less value, or more likely to 20
mad, are allowed forty eight hours grace,
when they are summarily hanged. Their
carcasses are sold to whoever cares to buy
such carrlon at seventy centimes per head,
and the ugly suggestion is made that it is
at the time dogs are slaughtered that re-
markedly fine sausages are to be had cheap.
Be that as it may, it would appear that in
spite of the precautions taken against
hydrophObia, many very bad cases of it
occur in Paris. One of these is Pc
culiar, as showing how long time may
elapse before the hateful virus of the
disease takes effect. A man who was
bitten by mad dog was taken to hoe
pital, where he received such attention
that in a short time he was discharged as
cured. Some weeks passed, and the m an
appeared to be enjoying his usual health,
when he was suddenly seized with hydro
phobia in it's worst form. The result was
that he rushed into the street foaming at
the mouth, and in such state of madness
that every one fed before him, and he died
only short tune after he was secured, and
placed once more in hospital. French
science has yet to show better cure for
incipient hydrophobia-or bite of Q dog
that may, for aught the bitten person
knows, be mad-than the heroic one Of
cauterizatioR.

420. 900 which he admits receiving from the
Terre Hsute Railroad Company. his deduc-
tions for expenses, taxes, etc., would have
been nearly $4,000. That there could
not honestly have been any such amount OF
deductions IL clear from the fact that when,
in 1868, Mr.. Tilden made detailed return
of his income, he could figure out his deduc-
tons for expenses, repairs, taxes and other
items allowed under the law, at only
36552 But it is, of course clear that in
1862 Mr. Tilden must have had much in
come other than the ga, 900 he admits hav-
ing received from the Terre Haute Railroad
Company. His professional income from
other sources in that year must have been
large. Moreover, that he had q consider
certain by the fact that in 1868. when he
made q detailed statement of his income for
that year. he disclosed an income of nearly
SI3. 900 from dividends and interest on in
vestments. It seems to US that it would be
we'll for the government to give Mr. Tilden
q chance to explain matters under circum-
stances where q crOss-examination would
refresh his memory.
Mr.. Tilden's answer in the Circuit Court,
to which We have referred, contains other
pregnant evidence Of still greater profits
of his which escaped taxation. The COM
plant in that case charged that there was
about $230,000 OF mortgage bonds and
$49l. 900 of stock Of the Terre Haute, Alton
and St. Louis Railroad Company, which
were issued to Mr.. Tilden and three other
persons as trustees, and which they had
| failed to accout for. Mr.. Tilden's answer,
| in effect, admits the charge of the receipt
of the stock and bonds, Or some portion OF
them. but says they were received by him
| and his associates not as trustees, but as
their own property, in return for risks as
sumed and services rendered II this be
80, and Mr.. Tilden certainly can not here
after be permitted to deny 1t, here was a
large amount Of profits made during the
period when the income tax was in force
which should have paid tax but did not.
How much stock and bonds Mr.. Tilden
personally received we can not say. but the
report OF the committee of the directors OF
the Terre Haute Railroad Company, which
we published ON Saturday, shows, by the
statement of Mr.. Bayard, who delivered
them, that out of $l3l 900 of fret mortgage
bonds. which formed q portion of the aggre-
gate, Mr.. Tilden received $33, 900. He, more
over, received from Mr.. Bayard about
SIS, 900 of interest on those bonds. Mr..
Bayard says that he received something
from the other securities, but he thinks that
he did not get as much as Mr.. Tilden and
the others. We hazard nothing in saying
that Mr.. Tilden certainly got his full share
of the plumber.
Can Mr. Tilden produce any reason why
on this statement Of facts he should not be
branded as a swindler and a perjurer.-

DIR. King in Texas.

The San Antonio Herald makes the fol-
lowing pleasant mention of former es.
teemed citizen of New Orleans:
Our readers are aware that the bureau of
immigration received it's comp de grace at
the hands of the Constitutional Convention,
and the Legislature at its present session
established q bureau of insurance. statls-
tics and history. We have just learned by
telegraph that Hon. V. o. King, of our
city, has been appointed by Governor Coke
and confirmed by the Senate as commits.
sioner of insurance, statistics and history.
We congratulate the State at large, we
congratulate Western Texas, and we in an
especial manner congratulate Governor
Coke in the very fortunate selection OF this
distinguished citizen of Texas for such an
important duty. This new department. OF
the government, emb0dying all the duties
that hitherto devolved upon the immigra-
ton bureau, the examination and scrutiny
of all insurance companies operating IN the
State. and the elaborate researches in the
archives of Spain and Mexico, with those
of our own land and Louisiana, will find in
Mr.. King the requisites essential to the full.
tillment OF his duties as historiographer OF
Texas.
The Hon. V. o. King, for several years
resident of San Antonio. is native OF
Louisiana, lately . distinguished member
of the bar OF Louisiana, and taking position
in the front rank of that of Texas when he
donned the toEs of Texas citizenship. This
gentleman combines in himself all the
qualities for the successful administration
OF this new department OF our State govern
ment. As a histori0grapher, this distin-
guished incumbent will be found to unite
an assemblage of scholarly atsainments.
His literary and classical lore and culture
prominently entitle him to the position.
As commissioner of insurance, his eminence
as q lawyer, and his methodicsl habits of
detail and indefatigsble industry mark the
selection of Hon. V. o. King as remar kably
felicit0us. As statistician he is at homo.
In word. Governor Coke has, in making
his bow on leaving the executive chair,
done graceful act to Western Texas, and
one that will be appreciated by our people.

One of Rhett's Procedents.
The Chicago Tribune says

r. B. Rhett, in his defense of cussedness
in South Carolina, pointed to the fact that
in 1852 two white men were hung in that
State. under Democratic administration,
for what he is pleased to term the simple
killing of negro. A writer in the New
York Times, who was in South Carolina in
1852, remembers the circumstances of that
killing. The two whites caught colored
man in the swamps, and, after chopping of
his hands, tried to make him fight another
colored man in their train. The finally out
