The Truth of Hastpry.

The story isgoingthe reundsthat when
Abraham Lincoln in 1860 was waited
upon at Springfield, ILL.,, by a committee
from Washington to ascertain whether
he would accept, q Presidential nominR-
ton, he was found engaged in playing a
match game Of baseball In many of
its features the story Is apecryphal, but
there Is this foundation in the gossip of
the town. A committee, which sought
Mr.. Lincoln ont. to solicit his, views re-
ganding either the nomination or his
purposes in that regard, did find him
engaged in a-game Of hand-ball, of which
he was very fond, and, IL is said, contest
ing with Davis Hickey, also an expert
(now streetcar conductor), for the local
championship When the" news of his
nomination reached him, Mr.. Lincoln
was sitting by the telegraph editor Of tile
State journal, reading the dispatches as
they came in, and tie chair in which
he salts still carefully preserved In that

Another Grandson of Louis XVI.

Within the last few days claimant
unfortunately not the claimant-has
passed away. I allude to Mr.. Augustus
Meves. He was the son of certain Mr..
William Augustus Meves, who all
through life believed himself to be, and
asserted that he was, the veritable Dau-
phin, the child of Louis XVI and of
Marie Antoipeste, whom the world at
large considered to have died in the
prison of the Temple at Paris. Mr.. W.
Meves died suddenly some twenty years
ago in cab at his own door in Uniyersi-
ty street, Tottenham Court Road, and it
was cerHinlv not little strange that
when the inquest was held it was shown
to the satisfaction of the Coroner and
the Jury that the old man wore upon his
breast a similar mark to that which was
known to have been placed on tile verlt-
able Dauphin in his infancy.
The story went that, In spite of all the
vigilance of the Republican Jailers and
their Warders, u strange infant was
brought into the prison by stealth. and
substituted for the precious "son Of ST.
Louis," who was carried off to the coast
Of Normandy and thence transported to
England, where he was brought up for
many years in ignorance of histrue birth
and rank, being adopted by a worthy
man and his wife of the middle class. Be
this, however, as itmay, Mr. w. Meves
lprofessed to remember a few of the Incl
dents in his infancy and childhood and
maintained his story to the end. After
his death, his son, who has now followed
him to the grave, reproduced and
republished the. narrative of the
life Of his father. 'Louis XVII"

 Factories for the manufacture ofjute on modern principles, and under European management are springing up in india. Those at Bannaghpore, near Calcutta, employ 470O natives, who, under seventeen European Overseers, work up nearly about 16,0O0 tons of jute; the success has been great. The manufacture of the raw material in the United States is confined chiefly to the Stevens factories at Dudley Mass.
 The United States import, mostly from France and Belgim, millions of dollars worth of goods which are, in whole or in part, jute, such as dress goods, coat lining, furniture, aDd upholstery goods, carpeting, burlaps, bagg- ing. manilla paper. and the mix lures of flax, manilla, hemp, wool, cotton. and hair.

We have reached @ new era in
 the national development. A
 great interest is on the eve of asserting it's right to be admitted
 into the circle of regular indus
 tries, confident in it's ability to lead and overshadow them all.
 It is estimated that tie profits on gold and silver mining, since the discovery of gold in 1S4S, ( n the Pacific coast, amount to over IS per cent, per, annum. From 1871 to 1877, the prodnct of the precious metals west of the Mis- souri river aggregated $550,GO0,- coo, while the total amount of precious metals produced in the United States has exceeded $2,0O0,00O,000. The miner of the precious metal does not exchange: he creates. What he takes from the earth has instan-and intrinsic value. The dollar he brings 10 the surface is another dollar added to the wealth of the world. The man who produces dollars produces that wEich represents all forms of wealth and Is ex- changeable into them every where. All the producing class es in a state of civilization use money; but until they can get it to use their productions are but a burden on their hands. The mining interest is, therefore, a creator of wealth, andfs constant Iy adding to the worlds solid ac- cumulatiOns. Boston EcOn0- mist.

Jute is the fibre of corchorus capsularis," and olitaris," order
 " tiliace8," and of the |" malOa- ce@," and of the maloace@ J family; an Indian annual to from five to ten feet high, with stalks as thick as the finger. The name is taken from the Orissa, "jhat," which is derived from the sanscrit 'Jhat," to be entan- gled." Its fourishes best in a warm, damp atmosphere, with a heavy rainfall and rich alluviaI soil. The low-Tying lands of Florida, South, and North Caroli- na, Georgia, Alabama, Missis- sippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas are all that could be desired in the United States for the cul- tivatlon of the jute plant. The essentials requisite for the culti- vation of rice (eXcept f1ooding) are what will suit jute. This, of course, em braces soil. climate, ,and water. After a few years cul- tivation in jute. the land becomes by that tilling extremely well adapted for sugar.
 There is an advantage in its proximity growing near cotton, because of its peculiarly in being diStasteful, if not fatal, to all kinds of insects, worms and cat erpillars, while it's emanation, or odor, is not obnoxious to human beings or animals. In warm countries the culture of jute pre- sents few difficulties. The seed IS sown in April or May; in June or July the plant is in flower; in September or October it is ripe for cutting. The strength and fiexibility of the fibre, like those of flax, hemp, and ramie, dimin- ish at the time the fruit or seed natures. The bast cells at that time become woody and more brittle, so that it is always desira- ble to cut the stems before the lipening of the seed.
 The yield ofjute in India is said to be from two to five times as great as that of hemp or flax. The stalks are from seven to. ten feet high. It resembles flax or hemp in having a long, lustrous cortex or boom, which is separat. ed from the stalk or heart by the process of sleeping or rotting, and the fibre then separated by the nail, or an old knife, or by beat ing-a slow process by the na- tives of India, where, however, labor is cheap. Its cultivation and manipulation are inexpen- sive. It rarely fails in the East, for it is a hardy plant, and it's cultivation is more simple and less expensive than cotton, and it's revenue more than double. The average yield of jute on or dinary rich land is from two to three thousand pounds per acre, and varies in the market here from six and half to eight cents, gold.
