in the matter.

THE net result of several attemps to twist
pun out of "Dobrudcha" is very saddening.
Perhaps the worst instance IS to be found in

character of the peninsula, and expresses
the opinion that it will be likely to Dob
russia pretty badly.

THAT is indeed desperate suggestion

MacMahon to announce in advance that il

the subject, and it can't be bulldozed in that

Several Southern Senators and Rep
resentatives, it is said, have had under
discussion a plan, which will be sub
mitted to the next session, for increasing
the facilities for manufacturing cotton
goods in the South by admitting, free of
duty, foreign machinery for making
cotton. Such inportations are fonctual
use only by the importers, and are not
to be offered for sale. If such a bill is
passed, it is stated that the machinery
of two English companies will be trans
ferred to Columbia, S. c., and cotton
foctories established at leading points of
all the cotton-growing States. Gov.
Hampton, Senators Lamar and Gordon
and others favor the scheme.

A Heather Clstom Approved By the
Piutes.

z. The Chinese residents observed the
festivities of feeding their dead yester-
day. The cooking of the meats is done
by q chosen chef de cuisine, in the joss
house After the meat is all prepared
it is placed on large wooden trays and
taken to the graveyard, laid near the
tomb, and although nothing is seen to
disappear, the heather firmly believe
that the rapacious appetites of the China
men who live on the other side of Jordan
are appeased for a year to come. After
the feast yesterday the Cinnamon re-
turned home, and from the adjacent
hillside troop of Piutes lit down on
the cold grub like an army Of lOcusts,
and made short work of the feast. The
Piutes are firm believers in the pagan
practices, and are encouraging the
''heathen Chinee" to feed their dead at
shorter intervals.-Eu-eka Men, Se,sti-
