The average citizen OF the United

the enormous expenditure attending the

mentrnThe Democratic press, aided by
a Democratic Congress, have already
shown npa good many OF the ulccrcd
sores which are eating vi the nation.
We have an idea now why our small
army and navy operate so heavily upon
the Governments purse strings. We

AMERICAN FLAX.
a Neu OncninK DOR ihe sout n.


, By the following paragraph from the
New York Htvdld It wifi be seen that
che subject OF the growth Of flax and
jttc in the South is attracting great ht-
tchtion: Yesterday morning the VEN
cradle Potter Cooper, In company with 4
well known writer on fax, held u pro
longed interview ut tho Breevoort HOnse
with McssIs, Miller Il Fleming, the mil
lionhire fax merchants Of Dundee, Scot
land, and likewise Erie investigators
Mr. Cooper, who believes that this conn-
try should BIZ n great flax export
Ing country, had provided him
self with samples Of flax from
Ohio and Louisiana. Mr.. Miller said
He had no idba that this coun
try could raise such qualities, and at u
much lower price than R,issia, from
which Dundee obtains it's principal sup
ply. After looking at The samples some
time he said: i will take this year ST.
600. OoO worth Of (lhx like your sample
With reference to some Louisiana jute
be remarked Il want nothing better.
but am not dealing i'm jute now He
said further that he uses 5000 tons III
fix annually, and has now in stock I6,-
900 tons Of flax and 5000 tons of tow.
The reason that large stocks are held at
Dundee is on account Of the Baltic be-
ing closed FOR five months In the year.
After this Mr.. Wilson Watson read q
paper about fix, and Mr.. Peter Cooper
left the Dundee gentlemen in good
himor, feeling that he had given an inn
petuS to American industry. l'3

Something over u year ago, oneiot the
commercial journals of New York noted
the TACT that it. was very easy to tell
from II review of losses sustained by fire
Insurance companies during q given
year. what lines Of business throughout
the country bad been depressed At
that tiine. under tho demoralizng in
tiuencts Of the age. the average stand
ard 81 morality in business had sunk to
SO low a point that u large proportion Of
men in a losing business would resort
to incendiarism 10 relieve themselves by
thus defrauding the. insurance. com
paries. More recent Insurance. statis-
tics show n further decline Of public
morality and develop another terrible
fact. The poverty and distress TO which
the laboring and mechanical classes
have been reduced by the bad govern
niept, and the depression Of trade and
industries. has TEMPTED many 81 them TO
become incendiaries with u view II
securing work. This is shown by the
fact that the majority of houses now

ordinary Case Of 81 GoIorcd hoy.
The New York Hcr'uid says that thcre
is quite an increase in the number Of
persons who annually lose their reason
since the revival meetings of Measrs,
Moody and Sanky have, been organized
Ut the iHippodrorne Among many
others it cites the case Of
riuu THE GoBOHED BOY WILLIAMS. aI
The most violent case yet made public
Is that Of the colored boy Edward viii
liams, who was arrested by the police
while max ing charge on Henry Bergh's
office with rusty Revolutionary cav
airy sabre, as he charged in waving his
sabre over his head with fiightful
energy and shouting ut the top II his
voice, 'Git out quick / am God Mr..
Moody has sent me from Jesuai Look
was secured after hard struggle and
taken to Bellevue Hospital, where
he was strapped down on an iron
bed In q cell. He became less VIC
lent. Here Edward stated be saw
"15o,o01 angels standing around
the lamb and that good Mr.. Moody was
the odd angel. "Oh, God said
Edward, who is handsome looking
mulatto lad Of nineteen years Of age,
with an intelligent face, IF ] only litda
celestial banjo for TO kind ADJUST get in
and thrtm alongside OF the divine Mr..
Sankey, wouldn't that be Heaven, eh 2"
Here the poor boy frothed at his mouth,
and tried to tear his face and stranglo
himself This is as sad case rs could
BIO known. Young Williams was por
ter in the employment Of the Domestic
Sewing Machine Company at the corner
OF Fourteenth street and Broadway, and
was universally liked and noted for his
honesty and fidelity. He became an
attendant at the Moody and Sankey
meetings, and after visiting there for a
few evenings he came homo to his
mothers house in Fifty-tbird street
com pletely crazy and frothing at the
mouth from sheer madness, caused by
the excitement of the several meetings.
A few days since the poor lad was taken
from the Bellevue Hospital TO the Luna
tic Asylum ON BiackwelPs Island, and
while on the boat going over he had a
lucid interval, but on his arrival ut the
he became more crazy than ever
and had to be tied up, in which state hc
now makes night and day nournful
with his heart piercing cries.
