North Carolina is winning all the hon

content with merely discovering the
gem which DR.. j. Lawrence Smith has
called %hiddenite, has unearthed enough
Of them to pay for the land where the
find was made and all the expenses Of
last years work. The last find is by all
odds the most extraordinary that has re-
vsrded his pluck and patience. 1t was

Larger than a hazel-nut. In this gem

aids ever discor red in the United
States.
Mr.. Hidden had his attention directed

interest of Mr.. Edison. the electrician,
he visited North Carolina in search of
platinum in sufficient quantities to an

him that he would not. Mr.. Hidden

An editor in Oh icago u short time
ago ordered q new pair Of pants from
the tailor. On putting them OH they
= owed to be several inches too long. 1t
being late on Saturday night, the %tailor's
shop was closed, and the editor took the
pants to his wife, and asked her to cut
them off and hem them over. The
good lady, whose cucumber or melon
had perhaps disagreed with her, brus.
Queiy refused. The same result follow
81 an application to the wife's sister
and the eldest daughter. But before
led time the wife, repenting, took the
pants, and, cutting of six inches from
the legs, he nmcd them nicely, aud
ysstorei the II t. the closet. II ,lf
an hour late, the daughter taken with
conjunction for her untilial conduct,
took the pants, and cutting off six
inches, hemmed and replaced them.
Finally the lister in-law felt the p,ngs
@ fconscience, and she too performed an
additional surgical operation on the
garment. When the editor appeared al
breakfast on Sunday the family thought
a Highland chief had arrived, for the
pants reached only to the middle Of his
thigh.

work of private decoration. As great
crowds of people will be here, the city
should be make as attractive as posi-
BILE and appear to them in something like
holiday attire. This eau be done In an mex
pensiye and yet very handsome manner by
the display of the flags of the two nations or
other bright bits OF color which will set'otf
the somewhat sombre appearance Of our
streets, leaving to the Germans the more
elaborate work Of decoration, which there is
no doubt they will do in very handsome
style. In orderi to make any effect, however,
in our principal streets 1T least there should
be some general aFort displayed. Scattered

THE Island Of Great Britain, by the new
census just taken, is found to contain thirty
millions Of Inhabitants. This is I'LL enor-
NOUS number OF souls to be crowded upon a
space no larger than Illinois and Indiana, ard
whose agricultural capabilities are much
less. Illinois alone, properly farmcd, las
more foo,l-producing power than England,
Scotland, and Wales combined, although she
now supports only three millions of inhab-
ita1,ts, against ten times that number OIL the
British Isle. While Great. Britain has i'll
creased sonic four millions during the past
decade, the sister islalld-Irela1ld-las actu-
ally sunk down quarter Ut a million. Ire
land is considerably more tllau one-third us
large as Great Britain, but has barely ono
si1th as many Inhabitants. The natural
capability of ireland to support population is
fully rs great Us that Of the larger island;
but, under the accursed land laws established
and enforced by the Bristisll Government,
there is the phenomenon Of poverty
stricken, dccaying people gradually whiting
away and becoming extinct in the land of
their fathers. The English landlords have
got in their work on poor Pat.

PETER RlLASD, Radical member of the
British Parliament, made motion III the
House Of Commons yesterday which led to
:. rather Interesting discussion, during which
Mr.. Gladstone denounced tle conduct of the
late Tory Government with almost ante
election fervor. He said tltat the conduct of
England with regard to Cyprus was indie
fcl,sible, aud that the example set in that
case had rendered England power|ess to
protest when France intcrfercd i'll Tunisian
affairs. Sir Charles Dixie spoke in the same
vein, and the Tories seemed To be completely
nonplused. Their only spokesman and de-
fender was one Of the featherheads,' Sir

tor, that the load is but half what it should
| be. Tho moro Of these elevators that arc
nut into tile First Ward. the worse it is fol
| all the water-consumeTs Of that ward
and of the immediate vicinity. There are
] probably now 100 of these elevators in use,
and all of them arc failures, so far as they de
| pend upon direct supply from the street
mains. There is, however, one way In which
they can be utilized, and that is by doing;
what THE TRIBUNE has done. 1ttried at first a
direct connection. 1trcquircd about forty-1ly
| pounds Of pressure, which is equivalent to
| ninety feet of head, but 1t obtained through
| the middle Of the day, when the cleva-
| tor was most needed, and during the sum-
lncr, when it had the most carrying to do,
| only about twenty pounds of pressure, or
forty feet Of head. So another method
was adopted. Having steaal-power in
the building for other purposes, 4
force-putnp was attached. There were some
large iron tanks on the top story Of the build
ing next to the roof, ut 4 hight Of nearly 100
feet above the basement floor. By means Of
this pump of only five or six horsepower,
consuming very little fuel. running constant
is discharged into the top of the water
cylinders. and a head obtained equal 10
about 100 feet, or 4 pressure Of from forty
five to fifty pounds. The same water is used
over and over again. there being but a very
slight wastage, and therefore TIL; TElB-
CNE las now a steady lifting power
of from forty.-lye to fifty pounds, ir-
respective Of the condition of the city
Wltcr-supply or its pressure, with 10
further expense than that involved III pump
ing up the water by tile use of the force
pump, which costs not more than onc-ilalf to
onc-third Of what tlie city charges for the
water consumed in obtaining lifting power
of twenty pounds.
TIE TRIBUNE: gets now five times the work
that it did when it was taking water directly
from the city, and we recommend this to
everybody who has gone to tho expense
of putting in these machines. II they
have q boiler let them attach IL
little pump to it and put some
large iron tanks in the highest position
i'll their buiiding,--on top if possible, or at
some point where there is Il strong wall that
will hold them sccuyely,-so that they ca1,
get an elevation Of from eighty to 100 feet
above the bottom of the basement They
can then count OIL Il pressure Of forty
to forty-liye pounds independent of
the water il, the mains. 1llis little
pump, running all the time, will keep the
tank full, as the water is only discharged
For this Eeason it will !
answer their purposes quite as well Is Il
fifteen or twenty horsepower engine il
direct steam were used. The result Of the /
general adoption Of this suggestion, |
which Tile TE1urSE's experience has
shown to be practicable and proita-
BILE, will be to relieve the pump
[ng-works Of all enormous demand, to
Increase tile supply to the consumer at |
large, putting al, end to these constant COLL
plants whicl. are heard all over the city of an
Insufficient water-supply, and doing away
with the necessity for the purchase Of large

thereof. for the cost of what is called ma
teria1 is made up mainly III the wages paid in
| getting it out and shaping it orbuflding pur-
poses. New building enterprise on large
scale assures good times to the laborinS
men, and their prosperity will be shared by
the men who. furnish them with their SLIP
plies. The increase of taxable property by
several millions of dollars will be Of great
| benefit to the local governments and to tile
| schools In addition, the city will be the
| beneficiary, because it is large owner OF
property i'll the new region of activity. BY
| the time the Municipal Government shall be
ready to vacate the present rookcry on the
| corner of Adams and La Sale streets it will
be able to sell that property at Il large price.
In fact, there is no point Of view from which
the removal Of the Board of Trade eau be
! contemplated which does not reveal some
tangible benefit to the people.
The location just opposit the Michigan
Southern and Rock Island Railroad De-
pot will also have the effect of increas-
ing the demand for residence. property
III the southern part OF the city and SUBJ
urbs, and enhancing the value there
of. In few years the suburban trains
running from that station will be as numer-
GUS as those which now leave the North
western Station. Businessmen living along
Wabash and Michigan and other parallel
avenues between Thirty-tirst street and Eli
glcwood will have better and quicker faclli-
ties fOr going between their homes and offices
than those living in the northern suburbs or
OIL the south shore OF the lake, because their
trains, equally accessible from their resi-
dcnces, will bring them directly to their busi
ness location, and thus enable them to avoid
tile distance, delay, and anlloyances which
attend going to tile Illinois Central and North
western Depots. The effect upon the ample
residence property still unoccupied in the
southern portion Ut the city cannot fail to be
very marked.
The building which the Board Of Trade
quits and the business structures in the
1leighborhood will not suffer anything like
the detriment from the change which their
owners apprcllcnd. The present Chamber
Of Commerce may be used to advantage
without altering its present character. Il
new exchange, devoted to the combined and
cognatc interests Of the iron, coal, and lun,-
ber trade, would from the very start be able
to utilize all the accommodations Of tic old |
building and would gather around it Il pros |
porous AMI thriving community, which would |
find Il decided advantage in concentration. |
The Courthouse and City-lIall business will |
supply tenants enough for I'LL the buildings |
i'll tile vicinity OF the Public Square, which |
will continue III any event to be u central
and lively quarter. Altogether, great things
may be expected from the Board Of Trade rc-
,noyal, and nobody will be seriously hurt BY
tic change.

| The preparations for the Sangerfest which
! occurs this week ut the Exposition Building,
are rapidly approaching completion and but
two more working days remain before we
shall be launched upon the vigorous tides of
| harmony from many hundreds Of lusty Ger
man troa1s. The work has been done so
thoroughly and Systematically that, so far as
| comfort and convenience are concerned, the
| public will have 10 room for complaint. The
Exposition Building itself will be in holi-
day dress, and will look charningly with its
| flags, banners. devices, portraits, and ever
greens, and even imposing when its vast au-
ditorium is full of people and its stage
swarms with singers and players. For
t,1natcly, the acoustic properties of the build
Ing have been sufficiently tested to make It
/ sure that the music will sound we'll in any
part Of it. The concerts Of the Thomas Or
chestra in 1877, and the Republican Conyen-
tion last year, both Of which occupied s,1bstan-
TALLY the same area us Is now set apart for the
Fest, satisfactorily settled that question. at
no previous Fest has there been manifested
such determination to appeal to and minis
ter to the comfort and pleasure of the whole
public, nor has the Bund ever before been so

THE FRAKco-1rA11AN COMPLICATION.

| As the days so BY since the return OF the
French troops from Tunis and the mobbine
| outrage inflicted upon the Italians i'll Mar
settles, the relations between the two people
! do not grow any more cordial The new AT
| ministrati0n in Italy has shown u remark
! able degree of patience III suppressinS all
| manifestation of hostility towards the Frencl.
| in Italy aud the inclination of Italians to rc-
t talate upon them for the ontrages at Mar
settles, but the popular Indignation has be-
come so intense, and it is so aggravated by
the proyocatons constantly offered by the
French, and especially by. the French Gov
ern1nent, that the Italian Government may
not be able to restrain its people mitch
longer. Should all outbreak occur in
Italy, war will almost inevitably re-
suit, for the French are not only not
dislnclincd for VIII, but they have I'LL idea
that the Italans are too weak to fight them,
and consequently that they have them ut
their mercy. In this, however, the French
may find themselves mistaken. Italy is u
weaker Power than France in both nlen and
money, but the Italians are gallant and de5-
perate fighters, and have proved their courage
aud Aeroism upon more than one bloody
field. There is still another element to be
taken into account. Italy is wise enough
not to iliaugurate war; but, should France
be unwlse enough to do it, Germany would
certainly Interfere, rs is shown already by
numerous indications Bismarck has us much
lis irtimated that France shall not attack
italy. Should she persist in doing it,
Italy would llnd Il powerful ally in Ger
many, and of course III Austria, rs the two
latter Powers are now closely bound togetll-
er. III fact, it is not easy to see where
France can 1uok for sympathy. Russia feels
friendly to her, but Kussi&. dare not risk 4
helping her. An Emperor who is virtually
IL prisoner in Ills own palace, who is not
sure Of the allegiance Of his own army. and
whose subjects are rapidly nearing the verge
of revolution is not in :. condition to enlbark
III q foreign war. England has not regarded
tile French occupation OF Tunis with any
thing like friendly feeling, and, if there
had been any prospect of united |
European Intervention, would have been |
among the trstto have entered her indig- |
nanJ protest. It Italy, therefore, should |
be dragged into war with France. she
would have the strong moral help of Eli
gland and, without doubt. the material aid +
Of Germany. The Italians are prudent,
in restraining themselves and conf
pelling France, if war must come, to assume
the responsibility. The French Government
ror some time past has declared its desire to
Je at peace with European nations. The
present situation will show whether it is
-eally i'll earnest in making such declaration.
