In last Saturdays STAR we spoke Of
the Clement attachment to the cotton
gin, which by means of simple addition
thereto is made to card the ginned cot
ton and spin it into yarn ready for use,
which we then justly characterized as
likely to revolutionize the cotton busi-
ness almost as effectually as the invention
by Whitney of the cotton gin itself.
The importance OF this invention will be
made more clear by applying it to the
cotton crop and figuring its re4ults. The
yield of that staple for the past
year is estimated to have been $500, 600
bales. 1t is safe to say that the value
of this would be enhanced fully 2 cents
per pound by the application of the new
invention, which would make each bale
worth perhaps $40 more than now re-
allied by the producer This on the cot
ton product of the country is $55, 900, 900,
supposing Of course that all could be
subjected to the process. We have here
tofore spoken Of the importance of ex-
porting the manufactured products of a
country instead of its raw material,
which invariably is oppressive to the
producer. If we can not have cotton
manufactured in the sections where grown,
which we can not hope to for many years
to come, Notwithstanding the success
that has attended efforts in this line in
Georgia, then give US the Clement attach
ment and let us have it spun, at least
when and where ginned. This process
will reduce its bulk for shipping much
below any present process Of baling and
cheaper the cost Of transporting to dis
tapt places either by rail or steamer. Ono

Shnll We Meet AgRin2

The following is one of the most brill
iant paragraphs ever written by the la
mentod George D. Prentice: "The fiat
of death is inexorablo There is no APP
peal for relief from tho great law which
dooms us to dust. We flourish and fade
ms the leaves of the forest, and the flow
crs that bloom, wither and fade in day
have no Trailer hold upon life than the
mightiest monarch that ever shook the
earth with his footsteps. Generationsof
men will appear and disappear as the
Grass, and the multitude that throng
the world to-day will disappear as foot
steps on the shore. Men seldom think
Of the great event of death until the
shadow falls across their own pathway,
hiding from their eyes the faces OF loved
ones whose living smile was the sunlight
of their existence. Death is the antag-
onist of life, and the thought of the
tomb is the skeleton OF all feasts. We
do not want to go through the dark val
ley, although the dark passage may
lead to paradise; we do not want to so
down into damp graves, even with Prin-
ces for bed-fellows. In the beautiful
drama of Ion the hope of Immortality,
so eloquently uttered by the death-de-
voted Greek, finds deep response in ev
cry thoughtful soul. When about to
yield his life sacrifice to fate, his
Clcmanthe asks if they should meet
ngain, to which he responds: have
asked that dreadful question Of the hills
that look eternal-of the clear streams
that flow forever-of stars among whose
fields of azure my raised spirits have
walked in glory. All are dumb. But,
as [ gaze upon thy living face, l feel
that there is something in love that
mantles through its beauty that cannot
wholly perish. We shall meet again,

A Wasp In an Old Mans Slipper.

There are times in the life of the small
boy when he feels very sad from the use
of u slipper or switch upon him. If my
thing happens to the person who has
thus afflicted him, his joy is great, as
will be seen from the following incident:
A gentleman returned home from his
daily toll and had pulled off his boots
and was going to put on his slippers,
when howl of intense agony resounded
through the hall. The aifrighted family
rushed to the door, and beheld their
papa heaving the shadows with wild ges-
lures and frantic gyraticns. "Take it
off," he shouted, and made grab at his
foot, but, missing it, went on with tho
war dance. "Walter!" he shrieked,
and started up stairs, three at step,
and, turning, came back in q single
stride. "Oh, I'm stabbed |" he cried,
and sank to the floor and held his right
leg high above his head then he rose
to his feet with bound, screaming
for the bootjack, and held his foot out
toward his terrified family. "Oh, bring
the arnica," he yelled, and with one des.
pairing effort he reached his slipper and
got it off, and, with groan us deep as
well and us hollow Us drum, sank into
chair and clasped his foot in both
hands. "Look out for the scorpion,

The Elephant Myth.

The elephant of our childhood no
longer exists. Like bohemoth and levi
athan and other mythical creatures in
whom We once implicitly believed, he
has been proved to be tigment of the
Oriental imagination. The authority
upon which we make this unwelcome
announcement is no other than Mr..
Sandorson, who has for many years
filled the post of Superintendent of Elo-
plants to the Government of India, and
who stands in the same relation to these
animals that Sir Joseph Fayrer occupies
toward tigers and venomous snakes. In
alecture recently delivered to the Unit
ed Service Institution at Simla he
roundly calls the elephant "positivcly
idiotlc in its attempts to escape when
captured" and talks of "its want of or
iginality and its positive stupidity in
many things" In short, in the facul-
ty Of reasoning it is far below the dog
and many other animals" Nor will Mr..
Sanderson allow the estimates of its
great height. Out of many hundreds
he has measured in Southern India and
Bengal, he has not found one reaching
ten feet at the shoulder. Yet one disil-
lusion more. The elephant hunters in
both Ceylon and India corroborate Sim
bad's stsry that elephants, when they
feel the approach of death, retire to a
solitary and inaccessible valley and there
die in peace. But Mr.. Sanderson,
though he admits that no living man

THE sCHOOLMAsTEK's SLEEP.

The schoOlmaster was weary,
Was weary, old, and gray;
And heaviness came DER him
Upon that summer day.
A heaviness Of spirit,
And nameless sense Of pain,
He struggled hard to banish,
But struggled all In vain.
The drowsy sChOOl-room murmur
He heard, and In his trance,
He knew his school were watching
His face with stealthy glance.
He knew, and, for moment
He reused himself again,
To battle off the stupor
That crushed his weary brain.
In vain, for, with the effort,
His head dropped on his breast,
His breath came faint and fainter,
And soon he sank to rest
And then arose an uprOarl
Ard bodndlcss was the CLEO
Among those little scholars
The sChOolmastcr to see,
And all the little urchlus,
And maidcns shouts with joyj
And, with tear Of laughter,
Cry what a funny boy the duncel.
An hour now was passing,
And still the master slept,
And greater grew the tumut
These little scholars kept
Until II little maiden,
Who watched the haggard face,
With grave concern and wonder,
Stole softly from her place.
Stole softly to the mustcr
And gently touched his head,
And started back in terror
The schOOlmaster was dead!
