The Great Reyictualed.

A correspondent writes to ask the Globe "where is this Nicsic that is be- ing so frequently revic.ualed ?' Nicsic or Nickish, or any line between Monte negro and Herzego- Niksiki, is village in European Turkey, thirty-iour miles northeast of Cattaro, on the boundary; and as the Montenegrins are in state ot revolt against Turkey, the supposition is that they are holding tbe place against the besieging forc,s of the porte. Why it should be necessary 10 revictual Nlcsic every few days we do not know, unless an army of several hundred thousand Montenegrin tramps are confined there. We never hear of any fighting around Niosic there seems to be no strategic movements in the vicinity; all that ap- pears to be going on there Is the revic' tualing operations, which, it would ap- pear, are carried on on gigantic scale. it is not true that the Hung 'ry'un are holding this tort. Nicsic will probably z 20 down to posterlty' as thc greatest center of revctualng operations known in modern times

picture shows it, and the artist com handed a company in that battle. It was displayed at the first fourth of July celebration in Philadelphia, 1777, and in
 the February of the following year it
 was first saluted by foreign power.
 Paul Jones, in the Ranger, conveying
 some vessels into Quiberon and obtaining salute from the French admiral. Four years later he hoisted it over the first American ship of the line, the America, August 2, 1777, the first land victory was won under the Stars and Stripes on the occasion of the British attack on Fort Schuyler, the flag being an eAtsm- porized one, made from the gsr1son' 8 shirts and from blue cloak zaken at Peekskill. The homemade Banner was hoisted over five English colors captured in a sally. In January, 1781, Rathburne, | in Providence, with fifty men, swooped on Nassau, N. F., took the fort, spiked it's guns and hoisted the American flag for the first time over foreign fortress. Five vessels disputed the homer of first giving it to the winds in London. In l789-92 the Columbia, Capt. Gray, of Boston, carried it for the first time around the world, and planted it on the Pacific
 coast, at the mouth of the great river to
 which he gave the name of his vessel. The Franklin, Salem vessel, first displayed it in Japanese waters in 1799. In 1794 congress added two stars and two stripes to the flag (the change taking effect in May, 1895, for Vermont and Kentucky,
 the act being passed only after consider
 able debate, it's opponents believing that the flag should be preserved in it's origi-
 nal form in perpetuity. The war of .1812-14 was fought under this banner.
 In 1918, bill reducing the stripes to the original number of thirteen, and
 directing the adoption of stars equal to the number of the states, new star to be
 added on the fourth of July next suc-
 ceeding the admission of each new state,
 was passed and approved. This was the
 design of Captain Samuel c. Reid, who in 1914 defended so heroically the brig
 General Armstrong against a superior British force in Fayal roads, though his
 suggestion that the stars be arranged in
 one large star was not formally adopted. The stars in the unions of flags used by
 the war department are generally thus
 arranged: in the navy flags they are in
 variably set in parallel lines. The blue
 union used separately is the union jack.
 The revenue flag, adopted in 1799, has
 sixteen perpendiclar stripes, alternately
 red and white, with white union bear
 ing the national arms in dark blue. The
 union used separately is the revenue
 jack. The yacht flag is the same as the
 national flag, but on the blue union it
 bears white foul-anchor in circle of
 thirteen states.

Slow But Sure.

The slow fighter was tall, raw boned specimen of the Pike county breed, and when he arrived in the mining camp the boys began to have fun with him-to "mill him." as they call it in the parlance of the mines.
 He stood it for a long time with perfect esuanimity, until finally one of the party dared him out of doors to fight.
 He went. When they got all ready and squared of, Pike county stretched out his long neck and presented the tip of his big nose temptingly close to his tormentor: "Pm little slow," he said, ," and can't fight unless Pm we'll riled ; just paste me one--a good 'un---right on the end of that smeller"
 His request was complied with.
 "That was good 'uD, he said, calmly, "but I don't feel quite riled yit"-- Burning the side of his head to his adversary" please chug me another lively one under the ear."
 The astonished adversary again com piled, whereupon Pike county, remark ing that he was "not quite as we'll riled as be would like to be, but would do the best he could" sailed into the crowd and for the next ten days the boys were engaged in mending broken jaws, repairing damaged eyes and tenderly resurrecting smashed noses.--N. o.

Put Life into YOur Work.

A young mans interest and duty both dictate that he should make himself in- dispensible to his employers. He should be so industrious, prompt and careful that the accident of his temporary ab- sence should be noticed by his being missed. A young man should make his employer his friend by doing faithfully and minutely all that is entrusted to him. It is great mistake to be over nice or fastidious about work. Pitch in readily and your willingness will be ap- preciated, while the {" high-toned" young man who quibbles about what it is and what it is not his place to do will get the cold shoulder. There is story that George Washington once helped roll a log that one of his corporals would not handle, and the greatest emperor of Rus sia worked as a shipwright in England to learn the business. That is just what you want to do. Be energetic, look and act with alacrity; take an interest in your employers success work as though the business was your own, and let your employer know that he may place abso- lute reliance on your word and on your act Be mindful; have your mind on your business, because it is that which is going to help you, not those outside at fractions which some of the boys" are thinking about. Take pleasure in your work do not go about in listless, for. maj manner, but with alacrity and cheerfulness, and remember that while working thus for others you are laying the foundation of your own snccess in life.

The Lords of Creation

A correspondent of tho Pittsbure Chronicle reads the following lecture to the husband of the day:
 Why don't somebody tell the husband of the day that he must come home to his wife with smile instead of the in. evitable scowl upon his face? That if he will be about half as polite to his wife after as before marriage, she will be grateful and astonished. That he must not be too tired to do little thing for her if she asks him pleasantly. That it would not hurt him or his dignity" to take the baby in his strong arms for a time while his wife rests her weak and weary ones That he must spend less money in the purchase of cigars and chewing tobacco and---something else, so that there may be more saved, or ex. pended upon home comforts. That if the mutton chops happen to be not quite to his liking, he might consider that his wife was probably so busy with some thing equally, or more important, as to have been unable to attend to the chops, and if he would pleasantly say, My dear, suppose you were too busy to look after the supper--I know it is all right when you are not" they will be all right next time, if such thing is possible. That he must learn to eject tobacco juice beyond instead of upon his shirt front. That moustache dripping with cream or coffee is not the most artistically beauti- ful sight in the world. That he must once in while, say twice year, or three times--I don't want to startle all tit married men into apoplexy--offer his wife reasonable amount of money for personal expenses. That when an amiable man loses his suitability over a cruet-stand. or a key, or shirt, or a table. cloth, or mustard-pot, he ought to be-well there Who ever saw an amiable husband ?"
 An American Prince in London.
 Mir. Jesse Root Grant writes from Lon. don to friend in this country;
 Of course you have seen in the papers the gratifying manner father has been received in England. It is rather nice thing to read about, but when you have to go out every evening to dinner at some dukes or earl's, and every afternoon at some lords, it gets to be what you might call bore. When one travels he wants to see the country, and study the manners and habits of the middle classes and not the fashionable, which is the same all the world over. It if rather amusing tho way l sp t~Aa tsd here, They consider me a prince, a.s sA all the dinner parties I sit ahead of all the noblemen; and the walters say Will his excellency have some fish ?' etc., and once l started to speak to some old fellow near me who did not hear me, and the waiter gave him-a punch, inter. rupting him in some conversation, and told him "his excellency" was speak. ing. have had to make several speeches at different banquets, and have had generally, miserable time.

Here it is sure that in 1870 Massachu- setts had nearly six hundred million dollars invested in manufacturers, and the three states more than eight hundred millions, thus invested while the three cotton states had but ffty-two millions thus invested Tennessee having nearly as much as Georgia, Alabama and Mis- sissippi combined. These manufacturing industries of the three Yankee states create demand for all kinds of food, and hence the esmall farmers and gardeners there, have markets right at their doors for everything they or the thousand of factory-hands need in the way of food. This constantly growing demand always keeps food up at good prices, and the producer is never distressed, as with us, for want of purchaser for his beef, nut ton, pigs, fowls, milk, butter or vegeta- bles. Everything raised out of the ground has even more ready sale than the fabrics of the factories; and thus the trade among small dealers never Ian gpishes, even though the mill-owners may sometimes find it dull. One kind of goods produces demand for another and different line. Masons, and carpen- ters, and painters are employed in erecting new buildings for new machinery to be furnished by the iron men, and the

It is presented because Memphis hai

It IS presented because Memphis has some of the largest and most reliable boot and shoe houses in the Mississippi valley-houses whose constantly growing trade shows that they possess the full confidence of the retail merchants trading here. Massachusetts had but 2S0,OO0 cattle in 1870, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi had unward of 2,500, ,000. Yet, the dry hides are sent from the south to Massachusetts, where they are tanned, dressed and made into boots and shoes for the very people who slaught- cred the animals; and now the hair from their bodies IS often sent back to us for clustering purposes. It should create no surprise if the bones were gathered up and sent to the Yankee mills for conver- sion into powder to be used for fertilizing the very fields the cattle once grazed upon. Should we not convert most of these hides into boots and shoes? And would not such an industry start others ? Would it not start other and different manufactories, and thus add to our pop ulation by diversifying our industries To ask such questions is to answer them. Now let us look at

 Alabama.-There are 30 answers from Il counties; report too much rain, $ dry, 3 favorable, s first of the month rains and second part dry; 10report plant ing over at last report, same amount as last year, 6 decrease, an increase; ( report stands good, . poor; l2 report present condition good, 10 free of grass, g grassy, and 15 backward; labor more easily controlled than last year, and laborers more industrious.
 NEW ORLEANS DEPARTMENT.
 The following is the cotton exchange crop report for June:
 Louisiana.--This report is compiled from fifty-nine answers, received from twenty-seven parishes, average date June 30th, all reporting the weather during the month as good, and much more flaw. orable to the plant than at the same time last year. Since last report there has been no increase or decrease in the quantity of lands planted in cotton; the stands are represented as good, the plant is generally forming and blooming well, it's present condition is good, and much better than it was last year. In some sections of Rapides and St. Landry par ishes caterpillars have put in an appear ance, but no damage is reported.
 Mississippi.-We have seventy-nine re. ports from thirty-three counties, dated from June 27th to July 9th. The char acter of the weather has been generally more favorable than last year. There has been no material change in the acreage. The stands are very generally reported as good, the plants forming well and but few blooms as yet. The condi- tion is good, though the plants from eight to ten days backward, as compared with last year.
 Arkansas. report is made up from forty-six replies, from twenty-seven counties. The weather has been less favorable than the same time last year, and much complaint is made of too much rain, causing slight decrease of, say, one per cent. in acreage as last reported. The stands are, however, represented as good, but the present condition does not compare favorably with last year, the plant being small, backward by ten days and the fields grassy.

have selected this table because one of the largest branches of the Memphis wholesale trade is in cotton goods. It shows where they are mostly manufac- tured. A month ago I asked two of our well-known and leading dry goods firms where they bought their Georgia cotton goods, and the reply of both was " in New York" These merchants have a large and steadily growing trade with the retail merchants of Tennessee, Ala bama, Mississippi and Arkansas, and if such goods could be manufactured here the wholesale trade of these merchants would soon be quadaupled. Look at the amountof operatives, and the amount paid out for the raw cotton. With cot ton factories here, would not demand for other factories, greater or smaller, spring up? Has not the trade in straw berries here built up large manufacture of boxes, baskets, etc, and given an ad- ditional demand for lumber and work men? Here is

The city of Louisville is the most for tunate locality, probably, in the United States, ana it ought to have larger population than Chicago or St. Louis. Great fires and destructive tornadoes are unknown here. Epidemics are rare, and make but little beadway, even when they get pretty fair start. Were it not for consumption, the mortuary report of this city would be hardly worth publishing. Then there is it's geograph- ical position for business its great rail road to the South---its water-route to the gulf.

The object in presenting this is not so much to illustrate the great importance of manufactories as to show how carelessly we use the advantageswe have. Is there any good reason why the milch COW of Connecticut should annually yield sixty seven pounds of butter, wbile the COW of Mississippi yields but fifteen pounds? Is there any good reason why the COW of New York should annually yield eighty pounds of butter, while that of Tennessee yields but forty, that of Georgia but twenty, and that of Alabama fifteen? Is there any good reason why Massachusetts should sell l5,000,000 gallons of milk from her l15,000 milch cows, while Georgia sells 10000 gallons from just twice as many COWS? The butter crop of New York, in 1870, was worth $26,- 000,0 ,000 at twenty-five cents per pound. The cotton crop of Georgia, that year, was worth but S25, Oo0,e00. The butter,

The cotton crop of Georgia and Alabama, for that year, at present prices, would bring but forty three million dollars. Tho agricultural bureau at Washington reports larger yield of hay, per acre, in the south, for years past, than in the north; yet Mas sachusetts, not one-eighth as large as Georgia, produces six hundred thousand tons for her horses and cattle, while Georgia produces but eleven thousand tons. Little Rhode Island, with but five counties and one fortieth the area of Mississippi, produces ten times as much hay as the latter state.
