Interstate Commerce.

jefferson City (Mo.) Tribune.0
OFFICE OF r. r. COMMISSIONERS, JET
FERsoN CITY, October "A, 1881.-Editor
Tribune: One important result of the dis
cussion at the Convention of Railroad Com
missioners held at Atlanta, Ga, on the 18th
inst, is a suggestion from the Hon. j..
Fletcher Johnston, Chairman of the Ken
lucky Commission, of a plan for National
Railroad Commission to supervise inter
State commerce. His proposition is "that
an act of Congress be recommended, consti-
tuting the Chairman of thu various Rail-
road Commissions of the several States a
United States Commission, with a Commits
sioner to be appointed by the President OF
the United States to act as Chairman etc.
In support of this plan he says: Thus |
believe satisfactory solution can be had OF
this question, without in any way cont1ic t
ing with anybody's or any sections convlc-
tions or theories of State rights, and in
derfect harmony with the spirit and genius
of our form of government"
| think this suggestion to be happy one
and worthy the consideration of our MEM
bers of Congress and statesmen generally,
believing, as l do, that State supervision
will eventually have to De supplemented by
national supervision. However, if such a
plan were to be adopted, it would be neces-
sary that these State Commissioners should
receive no pay from the General Govern
ment, because our State Constitution pro-
vides that "no person holding an office OF
pro fit under the United States shall during
his continuance in suth Office, hold any
Office of profit under this State" Respect

Women as Practitioners of Medicine.

The introduction of women to the prac-
tiee of medicine has fairly come about in,
Great Britain Their progress in the probes
sien, though not remarkable, is at least en-
couraging, in view of the traditional con-
servatism which has to be overcome. A
school of medicine for women has been going
on in London for several.years. and its gradu--
ates, have scattered through the United
Kingdom. A dozen are in active work, six
in London and two in Edinburg. In several
cities dispensaries for women and children
have been opened by ''lady practitioner"
and in most cases the male doctors have re-
ceived The fsmedical women with fairness,
good sense, kind feeling and open arms, 50
to speak. This generous disposition is mani
tested, in part, by the careful avoidance of
the term 'afemale physicians" the euphemi-
SINS of the epithets quoted just above being
substituted. At recent competitive ex-
animation in London a woman took the
gold medal and other honors Altogether
therefore, the advocates of 3women's rights
are disposed to congratulate themselves.

Escapes in Her Clothes.

She Remains in Jail While Her Son
Escapes in Her Clothes.
LITTLE Rock, Ark dvices received
from Logan county tonight illustrate the
extent of mothers devotion in Il singular
though not altogether novel manner. Mar
tin Goldworthy, a young man of twenty
five. was confined in the Paris jail on the
suspicion of having been an accessory in
the murder of a man who was killed ID
Logan county over year ago. Goldworthy
had made several Intellectual attempts to
escape, and for that reason was more than
usually strictly guarded. His mother, how
ever. was admitted to see him every day.
She always came to the prison in the morn
ING. bringing him dainty breakfast. She
is a middle-aged lady, and deeply attached
to her son, who is described as being dlsso-
Lutte and worthless fellow. Yesterday morn
ing she appeared with his breakfast and was
allowed to proceed to his cell, which is stu
ated in the upper part of the building,
while the iailer and his deputies busted
themselves in distributing meals to the
prisoners confined on the first floor After
the lapse of ten minutes Mrs. Goldworthy
re-appeared and left the prison. The guard
who let her out noticed that she was very
much agitated and kept a vail pulled down
over her face, but attributed her emotion to
her distress at the imprisonment of her son
and his possible fate. The cell in which the
Young man was confined had been securely
locked when his mother came out, and it
was nearly four hours before it was again
visited by prison guard. This official was
! considerably startled to find the cellioccupied
| by Mrs Goldworthy, and it instantlytashed
upon him that her son had donned portion
| of her attire and, thus disguised, escaped.
When the fact became known the Jail was
the theatre of much connection, and posse
was at once started in pursuit of the fugi-
tive. Latest accounts say that no trace OF
him has been found, aud it is believed he
has succeeded in getting out of the State.

Almost Young Again.

My mother was afflicted long time with
Neuralgia and dull, heavy inactive con-
dition of the whole system; headache,
nervous prostration, and was almost helpless.
No physicians or medicines did her any good.
Three months ago she began to use Hop Bit
tiers, with such good effect that she seems
and feels young again, although over 20
years old. We think there is no other med
icine fit to use in the family" A lady in

A War Relic.
GEN. LEES ORIGINAL ORDER DIsBANDIN G
THE ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA.


Senator Vest has received Gen. Lees orig
inal order disbanding the Army Of Virginia,
and delivered the same to A. w. Slayback
for presentation to the Historical Society
at the next meeting. The relic was in
closed with the following letter:
WASHINGTON, d. O., October 81, 1881.
Col. A. W. Slayback: My DEAR SIR
viii YOU be kind enough to present to the
panving paper7 It is the original order of
Gen. r. E. Lee disbanding the Army OF
Virginia. It was placed in my hands by
one who, like you and myself, was loyal to
the cause for which that army fought and
who accepted in good faith the results OF
It's defeat. / received the trust, but upon
reflection | think that paper so valuable
to the historian and antiquarian, the last
record of an army unequaled in history for
its achievements, should be deposited with
a society permanent in duration and devoted
to preserving the correct history of each
successive age. Truly, etc,
GIG. VEsT.
The order reads as follows:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF NORTHERN
VIRGINIA, April 10, 1S65.-General Orders
No. 8. After four yearsof arduous services,
marked By unsurpassed courage and forth
tude, the Army of Northern Virginia has
been compelled to yield TO overwhelming
numbers and resources.
need not tell the brave survivors Of 50
many hard-fought battles, who have re-
manned steadfasf to the last, that have con-
scented to this result from no distrust to them;
but feeling that valor and devotion could
accomplish nothing that would ecMpepsate
for the loss that must have attended the con
tinuanee of tie contest, determined to
avoid the useless sacrifice of those whose
past services have endeared them g their
Icountrymen.
By the terms Of the agreement ofllcersand
men can return 10 their homes and remain
until exchanged You will take with You
the satiAiaction that proceeds from the con.
sciousnesz Of duty faithfully performed, and
earnestly pray that 4 merciful God will
extend to YOU His blessing and protection.
With N increasing admiration Of youI
constancy and devotion to y0ur country,
and ! grateful remembrance Of yonI kind
and generous consideration for myself, BID

COTTON AND COTTON MACHINERY

nothing like it ever was seen at the Centen-
NAL or anywhere else. The annual exposi-
tions Of Chicago and Cincinnati cannot hold
a candle to the Atlanta show. Next to the
Centennial this is beyond all doubt the best
exhibition ever given in the United States.
And it is extremely interesting to Northern
visitors All kinds of Southern products
can be studied. In field within the grounds
all varieties of cotton are growing. In the
main building, the machinery for making
cotton thread and weaving cotton cloth Is
in operation. The original model
of the cotton gin invented by Eli Whitney
in 1898 stands beside one of the
modern machines, which after all
is only an improvement on Whit
news idea. But what vast inn
proyement-a result of the marvel
ous progress made in the last hundred
years, which has been the century of inven-
tions. An old Georgia woman runs the
spinning-wheel of our grandmothers, that
it NAV be eontrasted with the machinery of
the present day. And what contrast !!
Here YOU can see the cotton, just picked
from the field, go through all the processes
of manufacture into cloth. On Governors
day. when the visiting Governors were
here, an unparalleled feat was accomplished.
1t was determined to make for Governor
Colquitt, of Georgia, the State in which
the cotton was grown, and for Governor
Bigelow, of Connecticut, the State which
furnished most of the machinery, from cot
ton picked in the morning, two suits of
clothes, one for each of the Governors, to
be worn by them to the reception given the
same evening in the Executive Mansion.
The cotton was picked at daylight. 1t was
| fed To the gin at o'clock. At 7:20 it was
ginned. It spent half an hour in the pick
| er. Next it went to the cards. In half an
hour it left the slubber. In thirty minutes
more it was being spun into the filling and
twenty minutes later it was going to the
loom. The material for the vests began K
make its appearance soon after o'clock
that for the coat and pants an hour later
and at 1890 it was all taken to the dy'
house. where in twenty-seven minutes 1
was dyed and dried and handed over to tht
/ tailors. At 6 o'clock in the evening thu
i governors were neatly arryed IN cottor
which had been growing in the fields twelv
lhours before. How is that for modern ma
chinery?
