An Escape.

Capt Gunson, of the ship Patterdale,
relates thrilling story of the escape of
one of his ships boys from the nav of a
shark. The ship was in the tropics, with
wind enough to keep the canvass from
Hopping, and one OF the apprentices
was over the weather side, cleaning off.
The captain, standing on the poop
deck, noticed that the boy was careless,
and warned him to look out for himself
and not tumble overheard The ship
was going about three knots an hour, and
the sea almost as calm as mill.pOnd.
The lad, in moment of carelessness, lost
his balance, and fell from the platform
slung over the side. The captain saw
the accident, and threw him ladder
which the boy grasped, and clambered
I'D on the rounds as the ship left him
astern.
No sooner had the boy settled himself
on the ladder than brace Of large blue
sharks ranged up alongside, and actually
reared their heads out of the water In
their eagerness to taste the young sailor.
The boy screamed Justify, and grew hali-
frantic from terror. The ship was move
to, and a boat was lowered. still inc

SOUTHERN MANUFACTURES.
An Interesting Paper ON the subject b,
Hon. J. r. Trcxeyant, Of Arkansas-
Cotton Growing States Compared
with Manufacturing States.

The Hon. j. 7. Trezevant, of Arkan-
sas, in a series of articles on the products
of the south and the manufactures Of
the north compared, published in the
Memphis Appeal, writes as follows;
Perhaps the facts found in the follow
ing tables, from the census report of
1870, may serve to stimulate the active
interest already manifested by some of
our leading citizens. That the facts
may be seen in their most striking light,
have compared the three small states of
Massachusetts,, Connecticut and Rhode
Island with the three larger ones of
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. These
last illustrate the c0tton.growing inter
ests the others, the cotton'manutactur-
ing interests. The manufacturing states
have a cold climate and a soil not suited
to the higher conditions of agriculture:
The cotton states have soft, delightful
climate, and . soil so fertile as to pro,
duce, in unlimited amount, under good
culture, all the grains, grasses and fruits,
besides rice, sugar and cotton. When
we consider that the one item OF cotton,
in some form or other, has freighted and
still freights more ships, sinks more
mines, builds more machinery, organizes
more moneyed institutions, creates more
commerce, and clothes more people than
any other product of the earth, we may
well wonder why those who grow it do
not also measurably control its manuiac,,
ture The tables below are so arranged
as to invite attention without confusing,
and under each, have ventured to make
such comments as seem proper.
Table No. l gives the area of the states
named above, with the population OF
each, the population per square mile, the
total wealth of each, and the wealth per
capita, according to the census OF 1879
