AN ITEM FOR GREENBAcKERs AND
INFLATIoNIsrs.- South Carolina
Railroad bills, which have been mixed
up with the currency of this State for
years past, and which have heretofore
been received at par with greenbacks and
national bank notes, are no longer re-
ceivable even at the ticket or freight

refuses them, and Of course the banks

this oldest railroad corporation in the

wholesome lesson. Hard money, solid
Democracy and home rule is what the
people of South Carolina want, and they

VANCE AND MERRIMoN.-A promi-
nent Republican politician from North
Carolina says that che Senatorial strug-
gle in that Stateis becoming lively. Mr..
Merrimon's friends now claim forty-eight
Democratic members in the Legislature,
and are trying to gain the favor of the
Republicans and Independents, in order
to secure vote sufficient for the Sena-
tors reelection. The latter are not dis
posed to accept any of the professions Of
Mr.. Merrimon or his supporters, as on
his first election he stood pledged to them
for his success and failed signally to re-
deem his promises, and by his subsequent
course he lost his opportunity to become
q leader of q new combination in North
Carolina politics. The supporters of Mr..
Merrimon are anxious to have his name
come up for direct vote in the Legisla-
ture, without the preliminary formality
of a caucus. Mr.. Vance's friends appear
to be somewhat alarmed at this last
movement, and are not disposed to con-
sent to the programme. They claim that
in the caucus Mr.. Vance would get at
least seventy votes, and afterward in the
Legislature strong vote from the Re-
pu6licaus. All things considered, Mr..
Vance is believed to nave the best pros
poets of success.-Ne'o York Tribune.

- The entire amount of gold in the
world at present is estimated at nearly
seven billions, 100000, ,000l of value in
United States coinage. A billion is such
a big number that the average mind
scarcely takes it in. A thousand million
is more readily comprehended; conse-
ouently seven thousand millions mean
more, verbally and financially, than
seven billions. How much solid gold
would that make? Pure gold is more
than nineteen times as heavy as water,
and a cubic foot of water weighs one
thousand ounces avoirdupois. A cubic
foot of gold would weigh, therefore, over
nineteen thousand ounces avoirdupois,
and each of such ounces of fibre gold is
worth, as we reckon, rather more than
S1S; so that cubic foot of the precious
metal would have q value of about
1888 1888. A cubic yard of gold being
twenty-seven times as much, would be
worth over 100000, and seven hun
dred yards would contain considerably
more than the whole sum of gold on the
globe.
A number of steam road wagons
are at present undergoing tests in Wis
consin, among the tests being a two hun

all the requirements of the judges, its
inventor will receive $4,000 from the
State Treasury.

Is the South Poor?

Owing to the suspension of many of
the lines of transportation in the Missis-
sippi valley, due to the prevalence Of
yellow fever, the cotton year has opened
languidly at New Orleans and Mobile,
and cannot be called active in the At
lantic ports, although the season is about
a week earlier than usual. But the re-
ports of the cotton year just completed,
running from September l, 1877, to Sep
tember l, 1878, are now fully made up,
and are very instructive. They show
that the crop of cotton for the year just
ended is the largest that has been gather
ed since the war, and, with one e1cep-
ton, the largest ever harvested in the
South. It reached the enormous total
of 4,Sl1,265 bales, worth in money in
round numbers about two hundred mil
lions of dollars. This largely exceeds
the value of the great staple in the
palmiest days Of slave labor; for not
only is the number of bales far beyond
the average crop of ante-bellum days,
but the price per pound is considerably
higher. This crop, though the largest
picked since the war, is by no means be-
yond what may fairly be expected from
the coming crop, nor does it very greatly
exceed that of the preceding year. The
yield of 1S76-77 was 4,33S,421 bales,
against Ash 1865 bales of the year '77-7S.
The crop of'75-7G was also very large
one. These facts show that the average
yield of cotton is higher than ever in our
history, and that more is produced under
free than under slave labor. 1t also is
seen that for the past five or six years the
South has exported each year from one
hundred millions to two hundred millions
Of dollars worth of cotton alone, and
ought to have received somewhere near
that sum in money or some other form
of wealth. In addition to this the South
ern grain crops and meat crops are large
and increasing, and will soon become
articles of export beyond the needs of
home consumption. At several points in
the Southern States cotton factories are
springing into prosperous existence, sup
piled with the most improved machinery,
and the manufacturing interests are de-
veloping. In the face of these facts it is
idle to speak of the "poverty" of the
South. Such complaints emanate chiefly
from those who were rich before the war
and are poor now, the descendants of the
wealthy planters. But though these do
not own the property it is none the less
there in other hands. Men who were the
overseers before the war, are in many in
stances the proprietors now, and these do
not complain. Property has changed
hands to great extent, and very much
of it was destroyed during the war or
swept out of existence afterward, but
there is more true wealth in the South
to-day than at any other period of its
history, and it grows with great rapidity.

We became wretchedly poor, so that my

I was aroused by hearing something fall

Another Eastern Question.

Afghanistan is now the sore point in
British policy. Whether by Russian in
stigation, or out of his own "pure cussed.
ness" the Ahmeer of Cabul has stirred
up an immense sensation in England.
Afghanistan is the neutral ground be-
tween Russia's empire in Central Asia
and British India. So long as it pre-
serves that status, the British have noth-
ing to fear. Of course, so important q
strip of territory, lying temptingly in the
way of the Bull and the Bear, and of the
last importance to their interests, could
not remain intact. Russian intrigue and
British bullying have been going on for
some time, and it would seem, at last,
that the diplomacy of Gortschakoff had
proven stronger with Shere Ali than the
threats of Beaconsfeld. The rejection
of the English mission is an affront that
neither the people of England nor the
present rulers will submit to. Apologies
may be made and square back down on
the part of the Ahmeer accorded, so that
wariike difficulties shall be prevented.
But, if not, an English e1peditionary

manners, according to the British esti-
mate of the same, and when this force
shall move, it will be with q mighty
power to back it up at home. 1t is not
likely in such an event, that Russia will
help the Afghanese. She is in no condi-
tion to do so, in military or monetary
sense. 1t will suffice for her to hold her
rival engaged in most costly and bloody
conflict with a very fierce people, who
will fight like demons before they can be
subjugated; and the willy Muscovite
Chancellor will then have the satisfac-
ton of witnessing Austria squandering
men and money to subdue Bosnia, while
England wrestles mournfully in the hills
and defles of Afghanistan.
England's protectorate for Asiatic
Turkey is full of the germs of new war
in India. The Berlin treaty has not been
followed by complete peace, and if Russia
should accept the challenge of her rival
in the East, the question everybody hoped
was settled will be further from quietude
than Chronicle d COnstitutionali't.

pocket, takes out penny, and throws it
at the child. "There, take it, and don't
come back again to-day"
Child smiles, looks shy, goes out con-
ouerer-determined to renew the strug-
gle in the afternoon, with the certainty
of like results.

them-her own son. :.

Joe pays no attention. :.

Joe Smiles and continues his play; his
companion is alarmed for him, and ad.
vises him to obey. "You'll catch it if
you don't go, joe"
"Oh no, I won't; she always says so,
but never does. amt afraid"
Mother goes back into the house, put

THE LARGEST WORKSHOP IN THE
WoRLD.-We have received the annual
report of the establishment of Krupp,
of Essen, Germany, just published, and
translated an extract respecting this
famous workshop. The manufacture of
cast steel and refined steel alone employs
29S steam engines, seventy-seven large
STERN hammers, and $500 men. 1t turns
out daily ten miles of rails, with cor
responding amount of wheels, springs,
axles, and all the complete steel work for
railroad carriages. This is Krupp's main
contribution to the arts of peace; what
he does for the art of war is shown by
the fact that he completes 800 large can
non every month, and since 1S47 he has
turned out over $4,000 cannons. The
establishment is lighted up every night
with $1,000 gas burners; its different
parts are connected with thirty-seven
miles of railway, employing twenty-four
locomotives and 700 cars, while the vari-
GUS Offices are connected by forty-four
telegraph stations.
In the mineral works and coal mines
outside belonging to the firm, they en-
ploy $500 workmen; for the forges, 700
workmen; they have built 3,277 dwelling
houses, which are occupied by the work
men and their families, which number
1920 persons, and form small town,
with twenty-five stores for groceries,
meats, clothes, shoes, furniture, and
similar daily needs. Messrs. Krupp
have provided for the education of the
children of their workmen by four pri-
mary schools, divided into twenty-one
classes, an industrial school for girls, and
a school for adult women, all attended
by thousands of learners, and provided
with the best kind of teachers, who,
according to the German system, teach
the things to be known and understood,
and not merely lessons from books.

FooD FOR HoRsEs.-It has become
quite common of late to hear of the sud-
den death of valuable horses, and the
wonder is that they should die so sud-
denly, when it was supposed that the
best care was given in regard to their
food, exercise, etc. The fact is that very
few owners Of horses seem to be aware of
the great danger of feeding fine meal to
horses. Many an excellent animal is
taken suddenly i'll, and in spite of every
effort for its relief, dies in short time,
the only thing out Of the way in its case
having been the feeding of fine meal.
The trouble is, that frequently the meal
hardens, literally bakes, on the wall of
the stomach, forming an indigestible
mass that cannot be removed, and from
the suffering it causes, there is no relief
but death. The livery men in towns and
cities have discovered this fact, and for
meal are substituting cracked corn, which
is wholesome, nourishing and never at
tended with danger. 1t is time horse
owners generally were made acquainted
with these facts.

The increase in the export of live

actual numbers exported were SO,04O

thereto, 54,0O0,OO0 pounds of beef went
over, and increase of 100000 pounds.
