man likes drinking, so that he does not

Silk Culture.

The Charleston News and Courier
speaks hopefully Of the renewal of silk
culture in the low country of South
Carolina. The experiment of introduc-
ing silk manufacture in that State was
made many years ago. and failed, as the
News admits, fsCm the adaptabillty
of the system of labor then existing to a
business requiring SO much intelligent
work. 1t was demonstrated, however,
that the soil and climate of South
Carolina were admirably suited to the
cultivation OF morus multicanlis, or
white mulberry, which is the peculiar
food of silk worms. The ability to grow
the raw material is a very important
point in establishing silk manufacture,
and the second in importance is the
presence of experienced silk weavers.
These are coming from Europe in large
numbers, and the advantages of South
Carolina as a place of residence are
pointed out A great deal Of handwork
enters into the manufacture Of silk, and
business consequently opens a market
or labor.

Exports Of Live Animals

The Chief of the Bureau Of Statistics
reports that the value of the expor $
from the United States of live animals
of all kinds increased from s.. S44. COB

to SIl 4S7,754 during the year ended

The value Of the exports of cattle in
creased from S3,S90,SlS during the
year ended June 80, 1873, to $500

1879.
OF the total exports of cattle during
the last fiscal year, - per cent. were
shipped to Great Britain. The value of
the cattle exported to Great Britain in
creased from $2,40S,S43 during the

1t is believed that the improvements
which have been made and are still i'll
progress, for efiectlng the speedy trans

road cars and on shipboard, will result
in large and constant increase of the
exports of cattle.

Ammonia in the Kitchen.

The pantry shelves are getting grimy,
or finger marks around the door latches
are looking dark and unsightlv. For
lack of time they are left day after day,
for it is hard work to scour all the time,
and it wears off the paint, 200. The hus-
band keeps the bottle Of oil, or perhaps
large can holds it, for he never stints
in that. Now suppose his wife has her
bottle of ammonia to use She takes
her basin OF water and clean cloth, Just
puts on few drops of the huid and
wipes off all the dirt it is worth half a
days labor and does not hurt the paint
either. She could put few drops in
her dish-water and see how easily the
dishes could be cleaned. a few drops
on a sponge would clean all the windows
in the sitting-room, making them shine
like crystal 1t would take the stains
off the teaspoons, and a teaspoonful in
the mop-pai! would do more towards
washing up the kitchen floor than ten
pounds of elbo-grease applied at the mop
handle. A housewife has just as much
right to make her work easy and expe-
dltious as her husband has. If she does
not do it, the fault is her own in a great
measure

Major Anderson.

Mrs. General Robert Anderson does
not like the imputations cast upon the
loyalty of her late husband in the last
North American Review, and tells the
New York correspondent of the Boston
Herald that he once said
"My being born in Kentucky is some
thing with which had nothing to do
but my oath to support the Government
was an act of my own manhood, and L
will keep it, so help me God, as long as
! live" That was an honest expression
of his feelings on the subject, and so the
great pressure brought to bear on him
did not move him a iot. He had not
dollar north Of Mason and Dixon's line
but, when it was said to him, "Major,
your children will be beggars if you 60
with the North" he replied, ''That
makes no difference with the question of
duty" With him everything else was
subordinate to what seemed his duty.
He was an enthusiastic soldier of the
old fashion so thoroughly absorbed in
his profession that used to banter him
about it. Why, l remember once ask
ing him to absent himself from re-
view-an unimportant every day affair

Sunday Night in London

Along the embankment between
Blackfriars and Westminster the student
of social science may, on Sunday even
ing, observe the most remarkable spec
tacle in Europe. There is not city on
the continent, not even Vienna, in
which anything like it can be seen. I'm
der the CLEAN Of the electric lights
thousands upon thousands of men and
women are strolling, and it is easy to
see that all of them belong to the hum.
blest walks of life. 1t is no exagger-
alton to say that thousands Of young
girls may be seen wandering entirely
unprotected by any male escort, and
laughing, jeering, pushing, dancing,
shouting, sometimes behaving in what
the French would call an "unqualifia-
BILE manner" These are the work girls
of London. Heaven help them And
they are so little conscious Of their deg
radiation that they seem to take posi-
tive delight in it. edo you suppose
they are happyl' l asked an old Lon
doner "Happy? They're pleased as
Punch with what they call lark.
Lor' bless you, they don't think they're
doing anything wrong. They're not
brought up in way to know much
about finer feelings, I can tell you"
They see immortality all around them,
and never know anything else them
selves If one of them remains reason
ably pure, it is considered great stroke
of chance. They are as ignorant as
savages of ten thousand things which
they ought to know for their own pro-
lection. They wander here by the
river, talking sometimes in language
which pen may not record. 1t is easy
to see that many of them have been
visiting the public houses, and by the
time they reach the parental roofs pro-
tecting shadow some of them are obliv-
ious of external circumstances. Large
gangs of men and boys of all grades,
from the coarse and dangerous villain
in hob-nailed shoes to the small city
clerk with his too tightly fitting clothes
and his iargon of the counting house,
parade the broad sidewalks, now enga-
ging in an amateur dance with some
merry party of girls, now talking to
other groups in language which would
be insulting, if they choose to consider it
so and now getting into a sound en-
counter of hsticuiis. \ fight among the
girls is not at all uncommon. And
these are the future mothers of the
working classes these the creatures
that must be in shop and market at sun
rise and remain there until sunset,
every day except Sunday. And what use
they make of their Sunday Of course
the fathers and mothers, careless ana
callous as the majority of them are,
still would feel certain conjunction
about allowing their daughters to wan
der through the streets alone long after
midnight, if it were not custom which
has become time honored. What per
cent Of the working girls of London are
thus exposed to every danger of the
great metropolis l do not know, but it
must be very great. Judging from the
language which one hears from these
Sunday promenadeis on the embank-
ment, they have been touched by no
moral influence whatever, nor by any
esthetical one, except that procured by
view of the paper on the public house
walls, and the row of lights around Gle

she went to Salinas aud there taught
school. While in Salinas she became ae-
quainted with tie Chinaman who is now
her husband, who was at that time EN-.
ployed as cook IN the family where theA
school teacher boarded. The acouain
lance ripened into a warmer feeling and
the woman married the Chiuaman, Civ

to elevate him and his race and deemed
