Factory Operatives.

Not long ago. wher cotton factory
was opened in Atlanta, Georgia, 1000
women and girls applied for work. Two
weeks ago the superintendent advertised
that he would need force of over 2C0
additional women and girls, to whom
steady work would be given and good
wages paid. From that day to this he
has not seen dozen applicants and is
afraid that he will either have to give
up the plan of running at night or fetch
his experts from the North. Not only
does he fail to get enough force for
double running. but he cannot maintain
full force for day running. There is
not day that there are not vacant
places He has in the first place too
light force, and in the second place it
is composed of irregular workers, who
come three or four days in the week and
stay away the rest of the time. He has
had on his books over three times as
many operatives as he now has at work,
but they have started and stopped until
scarcely any of the original force are
left. What is the cause of this changed
1t is not that the work is not remunera-
tive. A faithful hand can make good
wages, and an ordinary hand can make
50 or 81 per week. 1t is not that the
work is not pleasant, for the building is
comfortable, warm, well ventilated, and
the hours and rules of work are the
same as those of other factories. The
answer is that the Southern women have
never been taught to work. They have
been accustomed to rely entirely upon
the men of the family for their support
and do nothing themselves. One of the
officers of the mill says that girl will
come to the mill for work. She will
work for few days and then get tired
of it and say, 81 am going to quit. My
daddy has supported me all my life and
1 reckon he can do it yet" This officer
says: "They actually seem to have no
idea of work-as the women of the
North understand it. They know
nothing of the steady, Flooding, faith
full work of the operatives of the great
cities, who will never lose anhours time
in three months work, and who are
thrifty, careful and ambitious. In the
North the girls of a poor family con-
tribute just as regularly, and frequently
just as heartily, to the common support
as the men do. In the South we see
nothing of this kind. The girls seem to
think they have no responsibility at all"

Arsenic in Water ColorS.

The German Chemiker Zeitung con-
tains an article by Professor Fleck, of
Dresden, on arsenic in water-colors. His
attention was directed to the subject by
a case of apparent arsenic poisoning in
which he conducted the post mortem ex-
animation. A young engineer, while en-
gagged in drawing for his fathers ma
chine mandatory, suddenly dropped
dead. As there was no visible cause for
his death post norton examination was
made and the presence of arsenic was
discovered in the liver, kidneys, lungs,
heart and brain There was none in the
alimentary canal, and extremely little in
the stomach. The poisoning had thus,
evidently, been very slow process, and
the possibility of suicide was excluded,
owing to the temperament and circum-
stances of the young nan. His whole
course of life was accordingly very thor
oughly gone into, and DIR. Fleck analysed
everything that had been used or handled
by the young man for some time back.
1t was in this way that he also came
to examine the composition of water
colors, many of which he found to con-
tain arsenic He discovered that the
particular colors used by the young man
contained large proportion of arsenic,
and came to the conclusion that his death
had been due to habit of pointing his
brush between his lips.

A Gold Mine In q Cow.

One of the remarkable cows on record
is the "l0th Duchess of Airdrie," owned
by the Hon. Matt. Cochran, which has
just given birth. to her ninth calf, red
heifer, to be named the "Sth Duchess of
Hillhurst," by the Duke of Oneida. OF
the tenth Duchess and her daughter
calves, Mr. Cochran has sold the follow
ing animals at the prices named: In the
winter of 1875 the bull calf 4th Duke of
Hillhurst" at $1,000; at public auction
in Toronto, June l6, 1875, the bull calf
9th Duke of Hillhurst, two months old,
at $S,000,and the heifer Airdrie Ouch
ess 9Th, eight months old, $4,000; at
auction sale at Toronto, June IA, 1876,
the COW Airdie Duchess Cd, at $2l 900,
and the heifer Airdrie Duchess Sd at
$4,000; in August, 1877, privately,
the heifer 9th Duchess of Hillhurst at
$4,000; and at public sale at Bowness,
Windermere, England, September 4,
1877, the lheifers Sd Duchess and 9th
Duchess of Hillhurst, at 4, 100 and 1890
guineas each, or S20,500 and $2l 800
respectively, making a total Of $l3l 900
for eight animals sold. He has still in
his possession, besides the 10th Duchess,
Airdrie Duchess 4th, 18th Duke, and It'll
and Sth Duchess Of Hillhurst, five ami
mails, and has lost four animals by
death. The above result has, perhaps,
never been equaled BIS any one animal
at the same age. In December, 1875,
an offer of $4,000 for the 10th Duchess
wasrefused, and the same forh daughter,
Airdrie Duchess 4th. Since then the
old COW has brought three heifers and
one bull; two Of the heifers have been
sold for $50, 800, and there still remains
the bull and the heifer just dropped, be-
sides the dam, who will, probably, breed
a number of calves yet.-Nova Scotia

Our Boosted Glory.

F. Largomarzino, the owner of valu
able property in San Francisco, who
has been citizen of this country ever
since his childhood, in 1875 visited
Italy the place of his birth, armed with
passport from Washington and his
American naturalization papers Ar
irving there he was promptly arrested
by the italian officers and placed in the
army, where he has served three years.
Part of the time he served as an ordi-
nary soldier, but, being fine musician,
and having formerly belonged to mill
tary band in this city, he was placed in
one of the bands of the Italian army,
and his service after that time was
pleasanter and less arduous.
He was despite his American citizen

Italians to give a certain length Of ser
vice in the army to his native land, and
although the authorities at Washington
were appealed to and the italian lesi-
dents here held indignation meetings
and sought through the Italian consul
the release of their fellow countryman,
no attention was paid to the matter and

A Novel Income.

The debt of the State of Illinois is
likely to be wiped out at no distant date,
thanks to a provision inserted in the
Charter of the Illinois Central Railroad
in 1857 by the late Stephen A. Douglas,
under which the company pays to the
State seven per cent. of its gross earn
ings, in lieu Of all taxes. On October |,
1878, the debt Of Illinois, as set forth in
the Auditors report, was S502,3l2.
After January l, 1880, the debt will be
reduced below 100000. 1t is expected
that after the extinguishment of the
debt, the Illinois Central Railroad Fund
will produce almost enough money TO
pay the ordinary running expenses of the
State Government. The Constitution
of Illinois provides that the contract by
which the fund was created shall not bc
released, modified OF RENTED by the
Legislature or by any other authority.
Oh, for railroad in California on such
terms. Exchange.
