THE curious fact that a bullet fired
into person loses weight, although UNI
accountably so, has just been made
evident by Prof. Lewis Balch, of
Albany, N. Y, in the progress of the
Billings murder trial. Defense laid
great stress upon the point that the
bullet which caused Mrs Billings death
weighed fifty-fve grains less than the
bullet carried by Billings carbine, with
which he was said to have committed
the deed; but Prof. Balch testified that
he had shot two bullets through two
heads and found that each weighed 221
grains before they were fired, but that
afterward they weighed 169 and 1891
grains each, although, after taking ev-
cry precaution, he could only find one
particle of lead which weighed less than
one-seventh of a grain. ..... ...

We have often said, plant fruit trees
of the Gardeners Chronicle puts the
question: why are not fruit trees
more generally planted on lawns for
ornamental purpOsesH' The idea seems
to prevail that fruit trees must be con-
fined to the orchard or kitchen garden;
yet what can be more beautiful than
the pale pink and white of the apple
blossom, the pure white of the cherry
and pear, and the deep rose of the
peach? Cherry trees literally white
with blossoms are of no rare sight. and
what is more charming than the grace
full branches clad in sDotless purity.
Then, too, the ripe fruit, in thick clus-
tiers upon them, is no less pleasing to
the eye than gratifying to the taste.
There are many species and varieties
OF trees which are planted in yards and
lawns, which have no more slightly APP
pearance than an apple tree, without its
wealth of fragrant bloom, or its show
ers of luscious fruit. On the Continent
fruit trees are planted along the sides
Of highways and lanes, and the fallen
produce is looked upon as common
property, provided the traveller does
not trespass for it. Even in sub
urbs of cities and large towns, where
but a few feet of land is allotted to each
home, and where one would suppose
that every inch of room would be made
available, the front yards are planted
with evergreen trees, or purely orna-
mental shrubs, to the utter exclusion of
apple, pear or plum trees--any of which
would be far preferable in every re-.

The Jackson equestrian statue on the
Capitol grounds at Nashville was unveiled
on the Goth with impressive ceremonies be-
fore an assemblage of 20, 900 people A pro-
cession of all the military companies which
had come either to participate in the cen
tennial competitive drill or to witness the
unwilling, and carriages containing distin-
guished visitors, was formed on Broad
Street and passed through some of the prin'
cipal thOrOughfares to the Capitol grounds.
The streets were thrOnged with people along
the entire route. The ceremonies were
opened by DIR. T. A. AtchisOn, President
Centennial Board Of Directors, followed by
prayer by Bishop II. n. McTyeire, Southern
Methodist Church; an Grafton on Jackson
by Hon. John F. House and brief address
by Clark Mills. The statue was unveiled
by Gov. Marks, assisted by EnOch II.
Jones, who was one of the five OF Jackson's
soldiers present, amidst the singing of an
ode to Jackson and the firing of cannon.
The welcome of Gen. Joseph f. Johns
ton to Nashville, on the occasion of the UNI
yelling of the jackson equestrian statue, was
most enthusiastic. When Gen. Johnston got
west Of the Cumberland Mountains he was
received by a large assembly and warmly
welcomed. At TullahOma one thousand
people had gathered. Among them was
Gen. B. F. Cheatham. On meeting each
other for the first time since the close of the
war, they embraced each other and wept
The scene was so impressive in its
character that the people gave vent
TO loud and continued applause. At
Murfreesboro he was met by several
thousand people, including two hundred ex-
Confederate and Mexican War veterans from
Nashville, and formally received. The
grandest enthusiasm prevailed. An i'm
mense concOurse received him at the depot
on his arrival at Nashville with shouts and
cheers. All the streets through which he
passed were lined with people, who loudly
applauded him. 1t was his desire that he
should not be received with military dis
tinctiOn, preferring only to be welcomed as
a citizen. The Nashville Light Dragons,
however, went along as his escort. Gov.
Blackburn, of Kentucky, Gov. Marks, Of
Tennessee, and other distinguished gentle
men, were in the triumphal procession.
Gen. James s. Raines, candidate for
Lieutenant Governor on the Texas Green
back ticket last year, died at his home in
Kaufman on the 10Th. Prior to the war he
was prominent in Missouri politics, having
served in both houses of the Legislature of
that State. In 1861 he was elected to the
United States Congress over Hon. Trusten
Polk, but preferred to go with the South,
and never claimed his seat, taking the posi-
ton of Brigadier- General in the Confederate
Army instead. As an orator on the hastings
he had few equals in this country. He was
about siXty-five years of age. slr tst. p /

Wild Cat Mining Stocks

New YORK, Aug. 12.-The Posts finan-
cial article says brokers and operators
in mining stocks have during this season of
depression been looking forward to the ap-
preaching autumn to bring about the re-
newal Of last years activity, but a careful
inquiry at various sources of information
furnishes no evidence of any immediate
change in the present state of affairs. I he
stock exchanges continue to retain upon
their lists lot of worthless stocks which
are being tossed and handled about at
prices changing from five to eight cents per
share, hardly the cost of printing, the
Offset OF which is to deter the owners of
the noted properties from listing their
mines in such company. At the banks
prominently identified with tho mining in
terests, very little is being done and no
faith is given to the prospect of rising
market.
The Bank of California Is doing little in
buying and selling, advancing call loans on
stocks on the San Francisco and New York
exchange.
The Mining Trust Company finds it's
principal and most profitable occupation in
clearing stocks dealt in at the American
exchange here, but is making no loans nor
receiving deposits.

Deer Lodge City.
Barrett & Warrcn's Mining Review.

The county seat of Deer Lodge county
Ia located on the east bank of Deer Lodge
river in the midst of thriving grazing,
mining and agricultural district. 1t is pos
sessed OF all the natural advantages to
make it desirable place to locate. 1t has
superior educational advantages, ample
water power for the driving of any kind of
machinery, beautiful mountain scenery,
mild and beautiful climate, good society,
rich lands of all kinds in the immediate
vicinity, which caH be homesteaded, enter
cd or located under the several laws gov
erning the location and presumption of
government lands, or bought At q reasona-
BILE figure from the persons who have al
ready acquired title to the same. The town
has a population of 800, has a fine graded
school, beside the Montana Collegiate In
stitute, which is located here. Two hotels,
second to mono in the Northwest livery
stables, stores of all kinds, three daily
stages, telegraph and U. P. express office,
shops of all kinds and descriptions, besides
the New NORTH. WEST, a weekly newspa-
per. published by Mills Bros, which is one
of the very best, most reliable and newsy
papers in the mountains. The town and
surrounding country is building up rapidly
and has an air of thrift and industry to
most western towns unknown. We would
say to all visitors to Montana, do not fail
to visit Deer Lodge, as your journey will
have been made in vain should you neglect
to do 80.

San FRANCISCO, Aug. ia dispatch
from Eureka at ten this morning says fire
broke out on the east side Of Union street,
south Of Odd Fellows building. 1t spread
rapidly and travelled over substantially the
same ground az the great fire of year ago.
The loss is even more, as the bun ld'ngs
were better and newer. The fire extend ed
south on Main street to Gold street and
swept everything to the northward. The
wind was blowing a gale. Among promi-
nent buildings and institutions destroyed
may be mentioned the following: Mans
brewery, Leader printing Office, Odd Fell
lows building, jackson House Quilted but
standing, international Hotel, Theatre and
all intervening buildings save Paxton d
Co.. Bank, Pickard & Toley's building and
Jack Perry's corner. 1t is impossible to
form any estimate of the losses but the
amount must be about one million dollars.
All Of the private residences on Spring,
Buel and Paul streets north of the Episco-
pal church were consumed. Many fami-
lies are left destitute.

Census FraL DIS.

Chicago, Aug l4.-Tbe Trihune's Wash
lugton special, respecting Southern census
frauds, says:
The edito, of the Washington Republt-
can. who was banished from South Carolina
on account of his Republcanrsm, aud who
Is familiar with every county in the State,
in Analysing the returns from the counties
which show an increase, says: Take for
instance the county of Kershaw. Its in
crease from 1870 to 1880 is &, APT, or 80 per
cent. in 10 years. Only one fIIlroad touches
the county, and that until lately ran only
one passenger coach every other day.
There is no manufactsry or mine in the
county. 1t Is purely agricultural in its in
dustries, and its largest town, Camden, a
place of about 1000 inhabitants, half Of
them white, is perhaps the sleepiest place
on the continent. The growth of the
country in the past fifty years has been
backward instead OF forward. In 1889 il
contained 1865 persons, and in 1870 it
had II, 754, a loss of 1901 ; but from 1870
to 1880 it springs to 81, 1l8. If these fig
ures do not excite General Walkers sus-
picons they will certainly excite those of
the country. we would like to rest our
case upon kershaw county. If Gen. Walk
Or will furnish the men and means We will
undertake to prove that the census of ker-
shaw county is a bold fraud within ten

phenomenal increase could easily be ex-
planned by The influx OF emigrants from
the old States aud from abroad, but in
South Carolina no such explanations are

A New Chinese Danger.

New YORK, Aug. 13.-The Tribune's
Washington special says: The Chinese
Minister has given formal notification to
Secretary Evarts Of the decision of his gov
eminent to extend the commercial activity
of the Empire by revoking the ancient de-
cree prohibiting subjects from engaging in
commercial relations with foreign ports, and
that in future the greatest latitude will be
accorded Chinese merchants who may de-
sire to engage in foreign trade. As evil
dence of this important step, the Minister
informed Secretary Evarts that steamer,
owned by Chinese merchants and manned
by Chinese officers and crew, would arrive
In San Francisco sh ortly with q cargo, and
this would be the beginning of an active
steamer trade between China and the Uni
ted States. The Secretary, speaking on the
subject, said there was more significance in
this growth Of progressive ideas in China
than might be supposed. To-day nearly
nine-tenths of the commerce of China is
carried on by American and European
houses and ships, on Chinese account. By
releasing Chinese merchants from restric-
tions and penalties of the imperial decree
hitherto in vogue and compelling them to
use foreign houses as mmedIaries between
the authorities at Pekin aud native NOR
chants at the treaty ports, this enormous
trade will at once fall exclusively into ma
Ia hands and will break up tho lucrative
4 reIcial operations Of foreign houses
nidcaucs automatically may also be
(. ant and may introduce some unex-
pected problems of commerce and diploma
cy for the United States commissioners now
on their way TO Pekin to solve. The Sec
rotary admits, with her cheap labor, enor-
nous maritime persuasion along the great
line of coast from Corea to the confines of
Cochin China and the remarkable shrewd-
hess of her merchants, in time the COM
merce of the world may De seriously affected
by this new competition.
