Southern Immigration.

Beyond question, southern immigra-
ton is gradually becoming matter of
increasing importance. The vast area
of rich aud fertile territory in the va
riOus States that now remains unculti-
waited. together with the excellent ad-
vantages which are offered to the thrift
ty immigrant. is beginning to be APP
preciated What is most needed is
that class of immigrants who have
some little capital, that is to say a sum
sufficient to purchase small farms, and
who have intelligence enough to work
them advantageously. The other class
es, who have nothing either in the way
of capital or industry, are recommend
ed by the southern journals to stay
away, as there is no possibility of sue
cess, or even of making bare living,
except to those who are willing to work
There will soon be a convention at
New Orleans to devise ways and means
To promote immigration of the right
kind. The market prices of lands are
so low that one years good tillage in
either of our staples, sugar or cotton,
will yield sum per acre equal to pre-
sent cost. No staples grown in this or
or any other country make such liberal
returns to the farmer. 1t therefore
needs just such action as the conven-
tion intends to take in order to make
these lands valuable to the welfare of
the south and to provide comfortable
home and lucrative employment for the
vast num0er of intelligent men who
are now complaining that there is moth
ing to do.-Ne,C York Bulletin.

How Nice to be President.

The Baltimore American puts in a
word for unknown statesmen: There
are instances which most emphatically
contradict the implied theory that no
man should be commissioned to high
office unless he is known to the whole
country and everybody has his biogra-
ply on the tip of their tongues. Mr..
Fish was hardly known outside of New
York before he was appointed secretary
of state. and yet no other of the illus
trious statesmen who have filled that
Office have conducted its affairs with
more skill and wisdom. Mr.. Bristow
had no reputation beyond that of
gallant soldier aud fair lawyer previ-
Gus to his being called to the Treasury
Department, but nobody attempts to
contradict his efficiency and integrity
IN it. Mr.. Jewell was 4 somewhat
more familiar name to the people, but
he was only known as governor Of Con-
neeticut until he was sent as minister
so Russia and recalled to take charge
of the Postoffice Department; still, he
has earned honorable reputation in that
Office as the FIRST holding it who has
made a successful fight against straw
bidding and other abuses which SEEM
ed to be unconquerable."

Drinking and Drnnkards.

DR.. Mckinley, of Chicago, has issued
a phamphlet giving some interesting
statistics in reference to intoxication
In the United States. The author
claims to have used extraordinary
exertions to obtain accuracy, hay
ing visited nearly all the States
in the Union, 26 penitentiaries, 300
jails, 40 almshouses and hospitals, the
haants of the vicious aud the palaces
of the refined to obtain data. Out of
every 300 men we are told that 122
never drink ardent spirits at all and
of 200 women, 600 never taste alcohol
les of any kind Out of every 178 men
who drink 20 do so to intoxication.
OF these 7S we are told that's are con-
firmed inebriates, % are periodical
drinkers, and 80 ere ephemeral drink
ers. In other words, l out of every A
men in the country drinks to intoxica-
ton. The statistics for the whole pop
ulation of the country show that out
of 100000 there are 10000 habitual
drunkards; in nation of 40,000,0000
there are 100000 habitual drunk
ards. DIR. Mckinley states that
a very large proportion of excess
i've drinkers are men Of culture and
refinement - actors, lawers, physic-
ians, legislators and ministers of the
Gospel. Out of IL Congressman l is a
perpetual drinker, l an occasional
drinker, periodically, and only are
sober at all times.-BaJtimOre Sant.

WOODS. YEATMAN & co.
Make a Deed of Trust OF the Property
DIR. j. G. w. Steger. Trustee.

A deed of trust was fled for registra
ton yesterday In the Recorders office,
by the firm of Woods, Yeatman & Co.,
conveying thir property to DIR. j. G.
w. Steger as trustee. This move is
made with the consent of a large ma
lority of the creditors Of the firm, be-
lievIng it to be to the interest of all
creditors, that at present the company
should not be embarrassed by conten-
tious creditors, and probably forcing a
sacrifice of property, thereby injuring
all creditors. DR.. Steger was selected
by large number of the creditors as
a safe man to whom their interest
could be intrusted. In this they will
not be disappointed. We know of no
man who viii fill the position more to
the interest of all concerned than the
Doctor. Having long been connected
with the Company Works, he is famil-
lar with them. The works will move
on as heretofore. No change will be
made. This move insures a retention
of employment to the large number OF
employees of the company, who are de-
pendent, with their families, on the
continuation Of the works. We regret
to see the firm driven to the move. but
they are not the only ones that have
been compelled TO such steps, or worse
ones, owing to the late panic, but we
hope that, ere long, with the improve
ment of times, the financial condition
of Woods, Yeatman & Co., will i'm
prove.-DoCer Record, 18th.

Weight of Hogs by Measurement.

The same general rule applies to
smaller animals-hogs. sheep, &C., as
cattle. This is, take the girth of the
hog just behind the shoulder blade,
and the length from the bone of the
tail to the fore part of the shoulder
blade. getting the dimensions in feet
and inches; multiply these measure
ments together, which, reduced to feet,
gives the square superficial feet; null
tiply again by the number of pounds
allowed to the superficial foot. This
depends upon the size of the an
imal, for animals having girth offrom
3 to feet allow 10 pounds to the SUI
perfeial foot, and if the girth is less
than 3 feet, allow IL pounds to the SUI
perfcial foot. Suppose pig measures
2 feet in glrth and two feet along the
back; multiplying these together gives
square feet, and this, multiplied by
II (pounds to the superficial foot for
animals measuring less than 3 feet in
the girth )gives A pounds as the weight
of the pig.

Did Tobacco First Come from America.

A German iconoclast maintains that
tobacco was familiar to the Old World
before the year 1892. He claims to
have found two mentions of the weed
antedating the discovery of America.
First-according to Sale the Koran
contains a prophecy of Mahometcouch-
ed in these words: 'In later times
there will be men calling themselves
Moslems but they will be Moslems
only in name, for they will smoke tan
bacco." Second-In the writing of
Rabbinical author who lived before
Columbus occurs passage which Bux-
tori tranlates thus THE Persians eat
tGbhdki without salt" The verb in
this passage (achaD signifies not only
ito eat" but ito drink" and very
many Oriental nations say "tc drink
tabacco" instead of to smoke, this
phrase reaching so far east as Japan.
Among the wares imported into Alex
andria during the reign of the Emper-
or Commodus was one indicated by the
name Duakkha; very similar to the
name Tuakko. applied by the inhabi-
tants of the Mosquito coast and many
Cafirs, while the name among the
Cochin Chinese is Tuakhan. The
narghileh, or water-pipe, furthermore
is found represented in the ruins of
Nakschi Rustun, an ancient city of
Persia.
