A Remarkable Man.

Albert Pike is wonderful old man,
being nov far advanced in life and of q
most striking and venerable appearance,
with his long, snow white hair and
beard, and his tall, erect and stately
figure. A great lawyer, "the greatest
Free Mason in the world" poet, jour.
nalist, historian, and soldier--having
commanded brigade Of Indians in the
Confederate army during the first year
of the war-his life has been so check
cred and eventful, SO full of incident,
adventure and versatile achievement,
that his biography, when properly writ
ten, will read more like some oriental
romance, some "Wondrons tale of
Araby," or story OF the Admiral Critch-
ton" grown old in wonderful successes,
than the actual biography of an Amer
lean backwoodsman-"a fine old Arkan-
sas gentleman, all of the modern time,
to parody the title of one of his cele-
brated convivial songs.
Among his many titles to fame was
that of q Nimrod-a mighty hunter of
the Southwestern it was hereby that
he became great hero among the In
dians west of Arkansas, Who voted him
the freedom of their splendid hunting
grounds, always giving him q rousing
tribal Of national welcome on his an
nual visits, and finally making him q
great chief" over them. They called
him big Thunder" or something Of
that sort, because in his hunting expe-
ditions he always carried along q four
or six pound howitzer, regularly mount
ed, with which he moved the gregarious

Last Wednesday there occurred OF
Slate Mountain. near Ashcroft, one o.
those shastly accidents that mako mer
realize how terrible are the perils thai
environ the pathway Of the fortune
hunter in those great mountains. A
young man named J. NJ. Zern, who In,
been prospecting and contracting
around Ashcroft for some time past
had, in connection with another man, q
contract to run in q tunnel on claim
very near the summit Of Slate Noun
tain. The claim is known as the Sham.
okin lode. They had nearly completed
the contract, and Zern was making his
preparations to get oat Of the country
for the winter. Tho trail leading from
the cabin occupied by the contractors
to the claim winds its sinuous and per.
ilous way along tho steep slope Of Slate
Mountain, frequently zig.zagging to
avoid the lodges and ease the grade.
But there is one place far up toward the
summit where the slope is almost per.
pendicular for quite distance, and I'M.
der the best conditions travel Of that
spot is perilous. The trail, about 10
inches wide, is cut ont Of the mountain
side, and it would make tenderfoot's
hair stand on end to look down. The
chances are that he would "coon il"
along that particular spot. There has
been crust Of snow several inches
thick on and near the summit OF Slate
mountain for week or more. past, and
the cold nights have frozen this snow
where it had been pressed down along
the trail until it is rs slippery as glass.
Last Wednesday morning Zern and his
partner were proceeding along the trail
to the Shamokin lode, and at the pre-
cipitous spot referred to Zern missed
his footing. Tho misstep carried his
body off the trail, and in IN instant the
doomed miner was whirling down the
snowy slope, wildly grasping at the air
and attempting in vain to gain some
foothold on the frozen ground. His
horror-stricken partner, utterly unable
to render assistance, stood gazing at the
terrible sight with emotions past de-
scription. Down, down the poor fellow
went, and when mis- bruised and bloody
frame reached the bottom it was 1850
feet from where it started, and bore but
little resemblance to its former self.
Zern's partner fastened down the trail
for help, and when that had been Sc
cured the party were compelled to pur-
sue long and toilsome course to reach
the body. 1t was CHASTITY looking
corpse they found, crushed and beaten
out of human shape, and strong men
shuddered as they looked upon it. It
was carried to Ashcroft and there buried.

bright, earnest young miner, and his
terrible death is greatly mourned. 1t

they would annually save $O.l7l. 655 for
cotton alone. which would enabls Thorn
to pay 1 per cent. additional dividend
on their capital, great deal more than
many Of them now pay.
In the matter OF wages the showing
is equally favorable 10 the south. The
average wages in New England il $780,

which would make difference Of Co..
56l,s2l in the expenses Of the New
England mills yearly, or six per cent.
on their capital. Some of this differ
euce in wages is due to q difference In
skill It is, however, not wholly 20.
Cotton mill labor in the south com.
mands lower wages than in the north.
ern states, a. there is more labor in tho
market in that section than is absolutely
needed, and because the cost Of living
is cheaper in these sections. These two
items, cotton and labor, will make a
difference OF between 10 and II per
cent. on the capital Of the New Eng
land companies. They represent some
of the advantages that the south pos.
sesses over that section in the manu-
facture of cotton goods. Other advan-
tages, such as those Of the weather,
enables the southern mills to work the
whole year round, instead of closing
some days during winter, on account
Of the severity of the weather. The
water-power, of which we have an
abundance, etc., need not be touched
on here, for we are only considering
those points on which statistics can be
obtained. Let us take the 43S cotton
mills now in the north and transfer
them to the south, as many far-seeing
New England capitalists are already
proposing to do. Estimating. the other
operating expenses of the mills at one
third the cost of wages and cotton, the
New England mills while in New Eng.
land would return $l6,17S, 1893 Of profits /;
if they were in the south, paying at the
rate that the southern mills pay for cot
ton and labor, they would net $37, 1884,
371, or "a per cent. A curious fact
shown by the census returns, apd one
which very few people were probably
aware of, is that the southern mills
manufacture finer goods on the
average than the New England ones,
getting II cents yard for the goods
turned out by them, whereas the New
England mills got only St cents. It
will thus be seen that in nearly every
item the southern mills do better than
the New England ones; that they pay
less for cotton and labor, less for opera
ting expenses, and yet get more for
their goods. The only point in which
they fall behind is in production, and
this is due to the fact that the Northern
mills have better machinery and more
spindles and looms. There is no more
potent argument on this subject than
these figures, and they will doubtless
carry conviction to the mind Of many
wavering cotton manufacturers Chat.

October CrOp RepOrt.

The October crop report, by the Ohio
State Board OF Agriculture will give the
following figures. The estimates for wheat
and oats are based on actual returns from
threshing machines in nearly all the town
ships of the State, for seven weeks thresl,-
ing, and may be depended ON as substan- :
italy accurate. The estimates for other
crops are simply the average of the best
judgement of about one thousand township
corresponden,snearly all practical farmers:
Wheat, 1873 bushels per acre; total bush
els, 37,2l5,2 PAS; oats, 267 bushels per acre;
total bushels, 81 ,60O,225. Barley (per cent
of 1SS0) 81. Rye ditto SIS, Corn 81, Hay
80, Apples S5, Pears 6S Peaches 32, Grapes
66, Tobacco rs, Potatoes 81, number of
Swine for market 60, condition of pastures
SO. The droulh has injured the crops
more in the southern than in the northern
half of the State. Abundant rains have at
last revived the pastures nearly all over the
State.
Wheat figures 70 per cent, OF last years

Oats 103 per cent.
