A large order has been received by mica
concern in New York for plates of mica to
90 to China. The Chinese use these plates,
which are about seven inches square, for
idolatrous purposes. They print upon them
the likeness of their divinities, and rever-
emily adore the same. These particular
ones are to be used for household decora-
tion aud devotion. They are considered
quite stylish among the better class of
Chinese.

What is Loss on Cotton Seed at the

per ton, when they would as readily
command 49," 1t would seem as
if the farmers have had little knowI-
edge of the actual value of the seed,
and sell it for 50, whereas the latter
named price it appears would be
paid by the oil manufacturers if far
mers were posted as to holding the
seed. As showing what could be
saved each year if farmers put up
oil mills, the following statement is
made. The crop this year will reach
Tot, 900 bales, and from this there
will be obtained $40. e00'0eG pounds
Of seed. There could be realized
from this product alone nearly $15,-
100000. Not more than one-tenth
of the seed would be consumed in
planting, showing that the farmers
loss on this item alone will reach
over $I3,000,000.

The regular Democratic nominal

The Democratic convention in
Richmond is a good deal distracted
on the question of State finances,
Gen. Malone leading off on a repu-
diation plank. If, as is anticipated,
the platform contains a State credit
plank, Malone and his regulators
will secede from it, and be Joined by
the Republicans, as were the Ten
nessee regulators. Anything to
beat the Democrats.
So that altogether the Republican

own, but waits for little splits in the
Democratic party and sides with the
beaten fragment; Communism, Re
