steam up the Senegal river as far as Medina,

making the building 200 by 800 feet on

built especially for people who demand and
can pay for palatial accommodations, only
the upper stories being arranged for tran.
sient guests. The second and third floors
will be fitted up in magnificent suites of
apartments for families of wealth, who
desire the best things this world affords,
the rooms being furnished in the most lux.

equal to the finest private residences. As
to its interior economies, it will be con.

A SLIPPERY JEwELER.-It is not long ago
since man with a pious expression and
good dress, and address walked up to the
hotel register, in Millington, Md, and
putting his name down as Mr.. West, re.
marked that he was about to open out as a
matchmaker. He did so, and in addition
to his business, found time to take part in
all church services. He became lion. The
ministers took to him as spirit of the
most congenial kind, The women thought
he was splendid, and everybody had good
word for him. The time for the Baltimore
celebration drew nigh, and he announced
his intention of going there. He went, and
while there met two ladies of the town,
Mrs. Power and Miss Hughes. Mrs. P,
took with her a small satchel containing
$3.50, which she was about to invest.
When the polite Mr. West came up he
suggested that, for safety, he should put
the satchsl in his pocket. He did so, and
in the first crowd he disappeared. He has
not turned up yet, and there are those
who don't believe he will. .a

There is perhaps, more buster than def ant
determination In the declaration OF a few meu
that they intend next month TO invade the
Indian territory with over 5000 armed men and
establish themselves In possession OF certain
lands under the territorial designation of .'Oka-
homa-" That there is project to seize upon
those lands nobody can doubt. Adventures
have succeeded 10 obtaining capital from some
source to fit up an expedition with the avowed
purpose Of entering and holding oklahoma
Considerable money has been expended upon
the project, and this is an indication that there
is seriousness at the bottom OF it. But
tt is scarcely probable that the men
who are directing this enterprise are desperate
enough to put into execution their threat to
maintain themselves In the territory, even
against United States troops. They are perhaps
counting upon simply a wordy protest from
the government against their occupation of
the coveted land. They remember the invasion
of the Black fills aud the feeble opposition the
government interposed 10 that movement. The
oklahoma expedition will hardly dare to level
gun at ncle sam or any representative OF
his. The discussion, it does SEEM ought to be
settled without any great difficulty or delay.

can be answered by pointing to the millions OF
rich acres which are open to settlement without
any sort of question. Why, then, do not the

they want? This Is a question that has not
been satisfactorily answered. Members Of Con-

The success OF the cheap coach system In
Philadelphia impels the papers Of New York to
call out for the Introduction OF the same ar
rangemeRt In that city. Cheap coaches would
not only be great convenience to the people
CfNew York, but they would also be Immensely
profitable TO their proprietors. Still. New York
Is not 30 badly of in this respect as Washing
ton. There they have liz addition to the street
cars, elevated railway lines and one horse
coupes. Here there Is no choice between the
street cars,-whtch may not go any where near
a desired destinat1on,-and two horse carriages.
And OF course the cost OF the latter is so great
as TO place their use beyond the means Of most
people whatever their needs or disposition
might be. What Washington ought TO have
and without delay, Is cheap, quick and con-
venient means OF transit. IL We cannot have
the English cab, which perhaps meets the case
better than any other vehicle. we ought at
least TO have light one horse public carriages
both open and closed. There Is no sense In
using and paying for two horses and heavy
carriage when single animal and light con-
veyance will answer just as well.

The large plantations In the southern states
are being rapidly broken up and divided into
small farms, and the steady yearly increase In
the amount OF cotton raised Is, to a consider
able extent, due to this improved system of
planting. Between 1850 and 1870, Georgia
added q. 800 10 the number OF her small farms,
and IL is estimated that within the last tea
years farms OF this character have doubled in
number. These farms are there designated as
one-hOrse, two horse four horse farms, and 80
on, according TO the number OF horses employed
In working the land. This system OF planting
is largely engaged In by whites as well as
negroes Very many OF them are worked ex-
clusfyeiy by whites, and statistlcians who have
devoted considerable attention to the subject
calculate that from one-half to three-fifths OF
the whole present cotton crop is the product OF
white labor. The custom Ia cotton planting
row is TO fcrtiiize the land thoroughly, and
this. too has had the effect OF increasing the
amount OF cotton raised.
