DIRTY SHIRT DEAN.

MIR. EDITOR THE following item
is found in your paper IF the
28th Of June:
Henry Clay Dean while passing
through this city paid a short visit to
his friend Col. Reddington. We did
not get to see him, but :ra not afraid
to bet 3 to l he had q dirty shirt and
no collar on.
You had better bet s to z, for you
would loose less. Some editors sup
pose that by throwing the dirty shirt
epithet at MI. Dean, they thereby
amply notice him. Mr.. Dean neither
Graves nor shuns the fling. Great
talents, and genius are seldom moved
by such notices. The friend Of the
learning, genius and unsurpassed
talent of Mr.. Dean, who can cope
with all subjects and men v~ictorionsly
in intellectual contest is worth more
than ten regiments Of dandys and
tops. Nothing personal is meant, }
even if his linen. sometimes" when
OH Il long journey, appears solled.

ture, and even down to tic hoe-handles
and brooms. Why should we not
keep in Missouri The hundreds of
thousands of dollars that we send out
of the State every year for all these
articles? Why should we not build
up manufacturing enterprises that will
attract men of capital, draw immigra-
tian, employ the unemployed, and
infuse new life and activity into all the
the channels ofbusiness? All around
us on every hand we see men who are
out of employment-on every hand
stands the raw material awaiting the
the hands of the manufacturer. 1t is
not worth while to build store-houses,
hotels and tenement houses in adj
vance OF population, and vainly i'm
agine ourselves on the high road to
prosperity. We shall be ~undeceived
i'm time, and realize the fact that we
have more pressing necessity for CHI
terpriscs that attract capital and peo-
pie. 1t is an old song that we are
singing-the same dull, old story, but
is a world of truth in it. We have
more business houses now than arc
making money-morc hotels than are
yielding a proiit-and what we need
to do is at once to turn about and eN-
pend money in tobbaco factories
wagon and plow factories, and
other enterprises, which will result in
attracting money and population,
giving employment to the throngs OF
people now clamoring for it, and best
of all, in keeping at home vast sums
OF money which we annually send
abroad.

NARROW GAUGE.

We see that strenuous efforts are
being made to run the narrow gauge
railroad through Galloway, or even
on the other side of the river. Now
Galloway we guess has not the check
to work for another railroad. If Au-
drain will wake up and work we will
have the road and the shops. This
will be the making OF Mexico.

LET Us

No people "a he permanently pros
porous without diversified industry,
and the wonder is that our people have
not long ago recognized the force Of
this truth. A country devoted eX-
clusively to mining, manufactures or
agriculture, lacks the essential element
Of success-diversity. We in the
West have bent all our energies in
one dircction-thc culture of corn.
We occasionally sigh for the ante
bellum days of prosperity when cot
ton was king. But the truth is the
old prosperity was rather tanciful
than real. There always existed the
same evils which we now see so plain
ly apparent in the mortgage sytem.
The great difference between then
and now is to be found in the fact
that in the old time when corn grow
ing seemed profitable the slaves were
the security for the commission mer-
chant, whereas now the crop
itself is the collateral that must. be
put up.
But our agriculture itself has had
no diversity. 1t has been corn,
cron, all the time, when corn has
been dragging u deeper and deeper
in the mire of adversely. We must
manufacture if We would prosper.
Some time ago the editor Of the Wes-
tern Immigrant wrote nearly a column
inspired by the sight of a Connecticut
ax-handle. That ax-handle furnished
a fine text. The wonder was that All
Arkansas man should send thousands
of miles for an ~ax-handle, or a plow,
or q barrel, when the finest Of timber,
worth almost nothing, can be had at
home. 1t can never be a great COM
mercial city for obvious reasons. But
why might it not be a great manufac-
turing center? We have railroads to
bring in the raw material and carry
out manufactured products we have
a wealth of coal in close proximity,
forests of the best timber in the world
in striking distance, a healthy locali-
ty, an abundance of labor. But a
thoughtless individual may say that
manufacturing will not pay-that we
a not compete with the cheap labor
of the East. But we can, and the
proof is to be found IN the fact that
the small enterprises that have been
inaugurated have been uniformly sue
cessful when managed with ordinary
produce. A Little Rock cooper has
sent barrels to st. Louis ut a profit.
The firm engaged in manufacturing
agricultural implements has found
ready sales for their wares. There
is no doubt whatever that a large wag-
on factory would yield a handsome
profit and at the same time give en-
ployed to a large number of unem-
ployed and givca q~uickening impulse
to every department OF business.
Why would not a large wagon factory
make money? In every instance
where such al enterprise has been at
tempted it has succeeded. Hut we
go o from year to year importing all
our wagons, farm implements, furni-

This is what the St. Louis Times
has to say of Minnesota reputation:
The State of Minnesota for its re-
pudiation of its obligations in connec-
ton with these bonds, deserves and
will receive the contempt of the peo-
pie Of the country, and has worked
itself an injury that it "a not easily
repair. As a Republican State it has
set an example of reputation, which
We hope will not be followed by any
other State.

Manufacture Of Screws.

At Smithwick, near Birmingham
there is screw factory which, with
its clever mechanical contrivances,
is something to wonder at. All the
sizes Of screws used in carpentry
and cabinet"making are made Of
iron wire chopped into lengths, and
shaped in a series of self-acting ma
chimes. A blow on one end forms a
head, which is speedily turned true
in u revolving chuck, the nick is cut
by a small circular saw, a revolving
Jaw then seizes the head, and the
:" worm" or screw is turned in a
twinkling; and in this way half a
million screws an hour are produced
This seems almost incredible; but
the screw.shed alone covers nearly
an acre and half. and contains
two thousand machines. These being
self-acting, FIVE or six can be kept
going by one woma'n,

A Fearful Scene.

The Cologne Gazette observes
that Bulgaria has on several ccca"
sions figured in history as the scene
of atrocities no less horrible than
those lately committed by the Bashi-
Bazouks. The Greek Emperor Ba~
silious II. was nicknamei 4" Bulga::
roktonos," because he ordered
$4,000 Bulgarian prisoners to have
their eyes pnt out, a few only being
left with one eye in order that they
might guide their fellow.prisoners
back to their homes. Even more
atrocious was the massacre of the
Gothic settlers in Bulgaria. The
nuch, praised Emperor Claudius |.
gives the following account of this
massacre in letter cited by the
historian Trebellious Polio: I" I'VE
have destroyed 100000 Goths and
1000 ships. The rivers are covered
with shields, their banks with spears
and pixies, and the fields with bones ;
no load is free from blood; the
huge barricade of wagons is de-
serted. and We have captured SO
manv women that each of our con-
quering soldiers can take two or
three for his share.

The Appearance of Sitting Bull.

At a late hour on the night of our
arrival the Times correspondent man
aged to gain admittance to the room
occupied by the Indians, through
the courtesy of one of the British
officers. One of the Indians had
gorged himself with food during the
day and was not expected to live.
The small room was filled with red
skins and Canadian soldiers. Lying
On the floor in the centre of the
room was the sick Indian in great
agony. While he was bending over

rior, l obtained my first view of Str
ting Bull. He is the contradiction
Of all the twadlie that has been
published about him. Dark and
swarthy, his straight black hair fall
ing down upon his shoulders, his
bearllcss face and strongly marked
countenancc, all betoken the pure
blooded savage. He stands five feet
ten inches in his moccasins, and is
splendidly proportioned. A few
wrinkles can be seen on his face, but
not enough to create the appearance
Of age. The one peculiarity of his
face is in his almost Roman features,
which heightens the air of intelli-
gence, and adds 10 the almost judi
cial gravity of his countenance. The
only drawbacks to his really fine
bearing are pair of bowed legs, a
popularity possessed by nearly ev-
cry Indian horseman. | had heard

THE GROWTH OF A DEAD Man 5
HAIR.-Dr. Caldwell, Of Iowa, says
that in 1862 he was present at the
examination of body which had
been buried two years before. The
coffin had sL-ung open at the joints
and the hair protruded through the
openings. On opening the coffin the
hair of the head was found to meas
ure eighteen inches and the whiskers
eight inches. The man had been
shaved before being buried. In le41
a similar circumstance occurred in
Mercer County, Pa. In digging a
grave the workmen came across the
skeleton Of a man that had been
buried ten years. The hair was as
firm as during life, and had grown
to length of ten or Twelve inches.
