The New York Ship discovers tn,

The New York Ship discovers that the
insurance companies of that city show a
constantly diminishing business in ma
rine risks for the past fifteen years. In
1865 they took 1926, 700, 173 on marine
risks with premiums amounting TO $10,-
96S, S72. Last year their risks were only
$739, 422, S52 and the premiums So, $780,
S62. During the same period the foreign
companies have doubled their risks and
the amount of their premiums. Some
of the decrease is due to the rapid disap-
pearance of American shipping from the
ocean, but much of it can be traced to
the economical manner in which the af-
fairs of the foreign companies are admin
istered.

The Washington Sunday Gazette pub
lished IN its last issue what purported to
be an interview with a person who re-
fused to give his name and which seri-
ously reflects on Mr.. Upton, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury. The inter-
view insinuates that Mr.. Upton did not
honestly come by the money and pro
perty he now owns. 1t is asserted that
Upton owns a farm worth SIC. 900 in
Iowa, block of houses in Washington
worth $40 900, and 5000 900 worth of
United States bonds, and asks how he
could have accumulated that sum on an
average salary of 81, 500 per annum.
The Gazette also charges that Upton
allowed claim of one McEwan, an ex-
Indian Agent, for $3.50, 900, which had
been rejected by Comptroller Lawrence,
and that $50 900 of the money was
divided between Upton and a Washing
ton lobbyist, Upton getting $50 600 for
his share. OF course Upton could not
let these charges pass unchallenged, and
he has commenced proceedings for libel
against Colonel Richard Hinton, the
editor of the Gazette. Colonel Hinton
says that it is just what he wanted, as il
will give him chance to substantiate
his charges against Upton. The trial OF
the case will be looked for with in,
terest.

The idea set forth by writer in one
of the magazines recently, that in the
near future there would be great changes
in Housekeeping methods, seems likely
to be realized even sooner than the most
ardent advocates of what is called ''the
Capitalization system" anticipated This
system is, that fifty or more families be
provided with centralized" establish
ment, from which heat, light and power
will be supplied, while the domestic sup
plies Of each house will be delivered
through pneumatic tubes, common
oven and laundry being used by all. A
Boston capitalist is now having plans
drawn for house capable of holding
twenty-five families, in which this sys-
tenn will be introduced. 1t certainly has
the merit of convenience, and should
prove cheaper than the present method
of running domestic affairs.

The East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Air Line.


The working arrangement effected be-
tween the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia and the Norfolk and Western
systems, by which 2,13S miles of road
are brought into direct communication,
causes great satisfaction to the city of
Norfolk. The TIrgintaR shows that
Norfolk is made the natural outlet for
their great system of consolidated rail
ways. The result of the amalgamation, it
SAYS. is to connect that city by iron high
ways with the cotton growing regions of
Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and Missis-
sippi, where cotton production will tax
the capacity of the Norfolk and Western
division of the system to the utmost to
bring it to deep water. Memphis is the
western terminus of the roads, and ranks
high in cotton shipments. Selma, Ala +,
aud Meridian, Miss, noted cotton points
and situated in a fine cotton section,
must look to Norfolk for advantages in
the matter of foreign shipments not sur
passed by any port in this country. Nor
folk will very soon enjoy an additional
influx of the great staple of the South
and Southwest.
The effect of the hostile legislation
against our own railroads and in favor
of rival combinations may be to divert
from our South Atlantic ports portion
of the cotton for which they are the
natural outlet, but we apprehend that
while our own system Of railroad and
water transportation offers equal facili
ties for transportation, we shall continue
to enjoy a liberal share of the commerce
of our immediate section.

The latest contribution to Darwinlsm
is a book by DR.. Paul JacOby, who
reaches conclusions relative to the per-
fectibility of human nature rather at
variance with those of Mr. Herbert
Spencer. According to Mr. Jacoby,
whenever a member of familY-human
OF other attains to any remarkable pre-
emlnence in mental ability, such pre-
eminence is at the expense of posterity,
and the family, by its ultimate extinc
ton, pays the penalty of the teu pOrary
ecIat. Extraordinary brain activity is
followed by a corresponding degeneracy.
The future of humanity, if this view
were the correct one, would belong to
physical medioerlty, and a poor prospect
is held out to the exceptionally intelli-
gent or energetic. Dreaming optimists
are warned to expect no line of HOmers
or Shakespeares, but to concede the earth

SHOT WHILE PLAYING BURGLAR We
learn that the clerk of the store at Con-
cord, in Person county, was shot few
nights ago by his younger brother, in
mistake for some one trying to break into
the store. The particulars as narrated
to us are: The clerk had been off (proba-
bly courting) and had left his little
brother in care of the store Returning
in the night and finding the store closed
and the boy retired to bed, he thought,
as we suppose, that he would have some
fun out of the lad by making him believe
some one outside was trying to break in.
So he made noise at the window shut
ter. as if trying to open 1t. which aroused
the boy, and then he went to the door
and pretended to be trying to open it.
The boy, in the meantime, didn't care
worth a cent, and, armed with a pistol,
he crept to the door, and poking the
mouth of the pistol at an opening in the
bottom of the door, he fired, and put a
ball in the clerks leg.-A5ttOn (N. o.

A New SIeeuer.

There is, says the New Orleans Demo
crat, cheering prospect that the travel
ing public may shortly enjoy the privi-
eye of refusing to patronize the Pullman
car monopoly without having to bunk in
a passenger coach as an alternative. The
American Sleeping Car Company have
come into possession of patents for car
which has several important advantages
over the Pullman, and we understand
that they are going at once into large
competitive business. The car is thus
described by Western paper;
1.-THE upper berths of the Pullman and
Wagner are above the windows, and,
therefore, poorly ventilated and dark,
except what air and light come from the
windows in the top of the car; but IN
the new car the window is divided be-
tween the upper and lower berths by its
peculiar arrangement. In the new car
the two berths can be used each indepen-
IDENTIFY of the other, and each has It's own
inclosers. No curtains are used, which
in the old cars are always Tapping out
dust, but instead sort OF Enclosure OF
wooden Stats on ends, which work like
the iron shutters to store windows. They
are pulled from behind the seat and run
on rollers, working very easily. Each
berth has its key and can be locked from
the inside, affording safety to passengers
Each slat laps over the next, leaving
small open space for the circulation OF
air."
Furthermore, the new cars being much
lighter than the Pullmans, are without
the disagreeable swaying motion result
ing from top-heaviness; and-best of all
being much cheaper, will not put the
company to the necessity of that barbaric
gouging in the matter of rates which has
made the Pullman Company so justly
famous. The country, and especially
the South, has long yearned to throw off
the hateful incubus of this Pullman
monopoly, and, if the new company will
only exhibit some improvement on the
arbitrary, arrogant and grasping Pull
man methods of dealing with the travel
ing public, the prayers of oppressed
thousands will be answered. All sue
cess to the American Sleeping Car Com
pany, say we!

Goes. 1t is only within the last few
years that any endeavor has been made
to ameliorate the original breed by cross
ing them with short horn bulls which
have been imported from Europe. This
cross is improving the milking qualities
of the COWS, but it is only in the neigh
bOrhood of Buenos Ayres that this anne
Iteration is appreciated, for on many Of

That it should be necessary to protect

pie. 1t is, nevertheless. the case. Since

guard over the place of interment until
