Mr., SAMUEL LOwERY, n colorod man OF
Huntsville Alabama who is President of the
Industrial Academy ut that place. addressed
the Farmers Club here yesterday. He painted
an attractive picture of the possibilities and
promises Of silk culture in Alabama, SIR
he said. besides being more rcmuneratyc
than cotton, has this additional advantageous
production requires moro intellect and less la
Dor. Three h undred pounds of silk, worth in
its raw condition from three 10 six dollars per
pound, may be produced ON an acre Of ground.
Cotton selling rs it now does for eight cents per
pound II not profitable crop Moro than TWEEN
ty-nye millions are now annually paid for inn
ports Of manufactured silks. besides about ten
millions for imported raw silk. All this may
be retained at home. We can make tho manu-
facture Of silk goods n great American indus
try. TO say nothing OF the possibility of largo eN-
ports in this line" Mr.. LowERY is an enthu-
siast. but that he speaks truly concerning pos
sibilities is admitted by some Of the heaviest
dealers in silk in this city. 1t is generally doubt
ed, however. that any very great results will be
attained very soon. Every poor man may pro-
duce silk on small scale. and it will find n
ready market; but the enterprise does not offer
sufficient attractions 10 capitalists to tempt them

The swapping Of a threc-quartcr inch
chain attached to n G.000-pound truss on one Of
the elevated railroads yesterday resulted in the
fatal wounding Of one stalwart mechanic and
the manning for life Of one other II not two
others. According to the statement Of the con-
tractors employees. the chain had been long
used in lifting weights OF the same size without
accident. and the present disaster Is therefore
unaccountabe. II does not seem to have oc-
CURED to them that long continued and power
full strains whether on chains or boilers cannot
be- kept up forever The worst feature Of the
present case is that the victims all have desti-
tute families depending on them for support

The expectation in Vermont is that the
Republican Convention OF that State which
meets tomorrow. will attempt to dodge the
HAYES issue for the sake OF preserving harmony
in the party. That will be an unworthy and
cowardly course for descendants Of the Green
Mountain Boys to take. The State Of ETHAN
ALLEN is not the State that should be found
afraid to speak out its mind about Fraud.

The Naval Committee of the House did an
unIustfable thing when ii agreed to recon-
mend an appropriation Of $i0O,00O for the COM
plction Of the stone dock ut Mare Island Navy

fuse to listen to the recommendation. That
amount Of money is more than ought to be
spent on the whole navy.

Senate had voted down an amendment offered
by Mr.. THURMAN To- strike out all after the enact

A'. Interesting and Instructive Lsetsrc by Prof

A'. Interesting and Instructive Lecture by Prof
GHnning.
From the 5. +. Chronicle.
. Prof. Cunning, whose series of geolog-
ical lectures delivered in this city last
summer, were so favorably received, lec-
tured again last Friday, at Dashaway
hall to good attendance on "Ths Seq
mcnt of the Earth's History, found in
California" The lecture was profusely
illustrated. and was frequently lyapplauded
by the interested audience. A synopsis
OF the speakers remarks is as fellows:
Nowhere on the lace Of the earth has
Nature recorded such a stupendous out
working Of forces as here on the Pacific
coast Of North America. Nowhere does
the eye need less the guidance of tech
nical science in reading the record than
here. California is young. Her rivers
that gathered on their beds the golden
sand mined to-day under mountains OF
lava, in the calendar of science bear the
date OF yesterday. The speaker sketched
In few words the manner in which ma
ture writes her history. She has no
finally. When she forms rock she
commissions she elements to destio oy it.
Creation goes hand in hand with de-
struction. Under the air the world is
wasting away. Under the sea II is build
ing anew. From the sea to the sky,
pure as the azure IL ascends comes the
rain. From the earth back to the sea,
turbid as the world rot through which 1t
Cows, gOos every drop that came. In
100000 years IT there is no upward
movement Of the crust, these dirt trains
will dump into the sea the whole Conti-
nent Of America. America herself Is hut

A Fisherman King.

Off the western coast of Ireland art
several islands.the inhabitants (which
previous to the present generation,
never quilted. never cared to quit. then
prison homes. The mainland ireland
->was to them vast continent, where
astounding marvels were, it was said, to
be seen. Tory Island ("Innis Tor
rag" ">-Isle of Towers), eff Donegal, re-
taIns at the present day, to large de-
gree. this isolation. 1t is still governed
by fisherman king, elected by the
community of three or four hundred
souls. Quite recently. l believe, a police
barrack as we'll as coast guard station.
has been placed there; but the king"
is. after all. the authority most deferred
to. Strange to say, the present poten-
tate of Tory is Protestant. and the
only professor of that creed (outside
the police bar!ack and the coast. guard
lodge) on the island.
Technically, theoretically. Tory be-
longed to sume barcny on tie neiehbor-
ing mainland; but until IA couple of ears
ago no one dreamed OF asserting this
legal fact by calling on the Torrymen TO
pay baronial cess for making roads III
the county on the other side of ''the
sound. They made their own roads
they used none other, and for none
other would they pay. So spake the
king The cess collector proceeded
to gather tlotilla for an invasion with
purpose AS resosute as that of the Nor
man William assembling his galieys in
the roadstead Of st. Vaery. Happily,
ihe anthori: Q anxious to avoid con
fiict with community so peculiar and
50 largely recommended to kindly sym
pathies, devised some compromise which
averted hostilities. Serious crime was,
and believe is,a'most unknown among
these islanders.
In Tory the first illegitlmate birth
known within the memory Of the oldest
inhabltant occurred about 20 Years ago,
and caused much commotion and dis
may. A Tory girl had been t. farm
service on the mainland, and returned
home to import the first moral stain OF
such nature ever affixed on the char>
acter of her native island. The whole
community met. under the Presidency
of the king" and with one voice de-
creed banisbment TO Ireland for the
hapless offender. When strong enough
to bear removal, she and the infant
