1. The McCULL0cH act is still In iorce'
but not in operation. That is to say, the
bondholders have still the right to fund un'
der it, but they do not choose to do So
They would rather take their chances With
q Ger cent. bond than PER cent. bond
IL they are to have any trouble with either
The only inducement any bondholder could
ever have had to fund under the MCCUL'
LOCH bill was the prospect OF a settlement
not only final but satisfactory to the State
As that settlement has been disturbed nv
propositions to repudiate fourteen millions
of the bonds provided for by the MCCUL-
LocH bill, OF course there will be no more
funding under II.
2. The HENKEL bill provides that three
fourths Of the school.money shall be kept
in the counties where collected, and paid
out there 20 the teachers and others. The
other fourth is not to be so kept or paid
out. because some counties have TO contri-
butte to the support Of the schools in other
counties.

Giant POwder-Its Wonderful
Powers as an Explosive.

Chemistry itself is rather at q loss to
estimate the power Of nitro-glycerine,
and yet this new agent Of death is 90
per cent stronger. In the manufacturing
of ntro-glycerine, two t1bes. each
about quarter Of an inch in diameter,
and six inches in length, lead into Il
single tube of double their capacity,
hut of the same length. Nitric acid is
introduced into one and sulphuric acid
into the other OF these small tubes
The large tube contains giycerine
The two acids are then forced quite
gradually into the glycerine, and the
chemical combination thus forms an
explosive Of incalculas,le power.
So powerful and dangerous ia this
article that not an ounce of it is allowed
in the manufaetGry while this tube, SIX
inches long and half an inch in diame'
ter, is being filed and this tube is kept
constantly swathel in ice during the
process. To make giant powder this
nitro giycerine' is allowed to drip upon
a clay (simiiar to meerchaum) imported
from Germany, This Clay is tho per-
feet absorbent OF nitro glycerine known
If, in the manufacture OF nitrogty
cerine, strong tube ia kept swafhed il
ice. aud quantity OF the liquid only
ak INCHES in length and half an inch il
diameter ia allowed in the building Al
the same time. no wonder General Vol
Bokkelen, with his preparation 70 per q
more powerful, remarked that be woult

Cotton Goods I'm the South.
lCnicago Journal OF Commerce. J


Referring to manufacturing cotton
goods in the South, the secretary OF the
American Cotton Exchange, says the
gain in the manufacture OF cotton III
the South deservedly attracts attention,
the increase during the last two years
having been more than fifty per cent.
The quantity of cotton consumed in ti,ir-
teen Southern States four years ago, was
1a7.19O bales, from which there has been
an increase Of 22l, 331 bales during the
crop year inst closed Georgia stands
first Oh the list in cotton manufacturing,
that State having worked up last year
76. 5Go bales, and North Carolina ranging
next with 3o,303 bales, South Carolina
third with sc, 34S bales, Florida standing
lowest with $50 bales. The Southern
mills produce simply the cheaper varle-
ties of goods. in which they are main
tanning a successful competlTIon with
the Northern factories. 1t is said that
with anything approaching good man
acement the business OF the Southern
mills yield large profits. Indeed the
statements of dividends which have
been published from tine 10 time sll9W
that capital invested 10 cotton mills
South lie receiving larger returns than
in any section of the country, all OF
which is in striking contrast with the
complaints which come from British
splnness. The pgonts attending Ihe
operation ofSouthern mills of late years
enabied the mill prnprietors TO replace
their machinery with improved looms
and spind.es, aud many establishments
have been enlarged and new ones pro.
jected. These Indications OF renewed
prosperity in the South will be reeeiYss
with satisfaction by every lover OF tha
country,

This week some OF our citizens have
been Interested in case before Justice
Martin. The case is one in which Mr..
j. NJ. Mornbinveg sues Mr.. Chenier for
damages, because of Mr.. Ctcnicr's cattle
having broken his fence and seriously
damaging his crop. This suit is inter
esting, tst, because Mr.. Mornhinveg is
suing Or intends to bring suit against
about ten or fifteen more Of our citizens,
and Sd, because it is not appealable--
this makes it very interesting. In con-
nection with this it may be OF interest
to some OF our planters to know that in
order to obtain damages in case Of cattle
or other animals breaking into Il field,
the ordinance of the police jury re-
uuires, list, that the fence be four feet
and half nigh, and il there is a
ditch, it must be the same height from
the bottom of the ditch, and the ditch
must not be less than foot dcep. And
if made Of pieux, there must be -four to
the pannel, and if made OF rails it must
be ten rails high; I'd, that notice mus,
be given to the owner of the animal, in
order that he may take the animal w
or prevent his breaking into the field
again.

A large meeting was held aI the town
hall, kensington, in England, the other
day, under the auspices of the bread
reform league, to advocate the unlyer-
sal use of what Is technically known as
the wheat meal bread" Dir. W. b.
Richardson, the we'll known authority
on hygiene, presided. One Of the speak
ers maintained that the bread in COM
mon Use was 40 per cent deficient in
sustaining qualities. an entire grain
of wheat contained everything that was
required for nonrisEing purpose, and
vet the better half of it was wasted,
and this half was much healthier food,
especially for children. A white loaf,
in fact, was only half loaf, for u large
portion of the material that formed
muscular flesh. and nearly al! that
formed bone, were taken from it.
Children fed on white bread were very
liable to suffer from rickety bones, con-
sumption and bad teeth, because their
food did not nonrish them properly
The outward wliteness OF the flour
might be considered in outward sign OF
tile starvation within. One shilling =
worth of wheat meal bread contained
three times the iesh-fTming. seventy
times the heat producing, and three
times the bone forming material to oe
found in shilling's worth OF beefsteak
DR.. Richardson maintained that il the
mothers Of this kingdom were TO give
their families Ai,gi5 meal, which con-
tanned the structure OF the skeleton, ~

Mixing Cotton and Wool.


TtUIIUufI
Some stir has been created in techni-
chal circles abroad by the statement
that the difficulty Of mixing cotton and
wool together SO as to give good yarn
has been entirely overcome by Edward
Ungnad, of Plagwitz. Cotton and all
other vegetable iihres can he chemical
ly treated so as to impart to them the
peculiar elasticity Of wool. Expert
ments have been made with flax, hemp,
aud cotton, and in al colors. The in
ventor claims that a perfect tGlling
capacity is obtained, and that an elastic
linen textile can be produced which
will be of great advantage for power
weaving. The durability of cheap ear
pet stuffs may Ie greatly increased by
this process.
