Anew Industry.

The new agricultural industry
known as the central sugar fac
tory system, which is now es-
tablished in many sections of
Louisiana, was founded BY
Messrs. Clarke and Steele, for,
merly of Springfield, Ohio.
Their plantation and works at
Eagonda are on a grand scale.
These gentleman settled there
ten years ago, and began buying
up the cane raised by small far
mers who had no mills, and re-
filming the crude molasses Of
planters who did not care to be
troubled with the operation, or
had not the means to carry it
on. There are some large CLAN
tations in western louisiana
now worked on the tenantry
system. Small farmers, inc COM
panies Of FIVE to twenty, are al,
lowed to cultivate as many
acres of fine sugar cane lands
as they can, free Of rent, and
are paid 50 per ton for all they
make. Several Chicago and
Ohio firms are now planting on
the tenantrY plan, and many
planters of the olden sort have
followed their example, until
there are now twenty-five CEN
trail sugar factories on the
Teche and the Atchafalaya.
Both these systems are said to
work well, and hundreds often
ants have become very easy in
circumstances since theindustry
was established. Lagonda
Plantation is a prineely place,
an the Atchatalaya,
md is the spot where Evange-
inc. the virgin, slept while her |
over passed by on the other
tide Of the "Beautiful Isle" that
les in midstream.-N. Y. Sun.

Prediction that the South win Soon
Work up all Its Cotton.
Lcclure in PhilapeIphia Times.l

Mcclure in Philapelphia Times.1
The manufacturers of the
north must soon go south with
their cotton spindles and looms
and those who go earliest viii
reap the richest harvest. It is a
violation OF the laws Of trade to
transport the cotton 1000 miles
to an inhospitable climate,
where water power is unrelia-
BILE a third of the year, and
where it necessarily costs more
to sustain labor than where the
cotton is grown. Our strug-
Cling cotton factories in Penn
sylvania would be earning from
ten to twenty per cent. on the
great water-powers of the Saw
annah of the Alabama, where
labor is cheap, where the eli
mate is the most genial to be
found on the continent, and
where the cotton lint can be
furnished fresh from the gin. In
stead of mourning the expense
of packing, of transportation
and of re-separating the lint, at
much cost to the fibre, the cot
ton should, and soon viii be,
spun directly from the gin, by
cheaper labor and turned into
better fabrics than can be fur
nished with all the skill of the
north. Those who say that
capital is not safe in the south
either know not what they say
or mean to be untruthful. In
every southern state there is a
supreme desire to have the fac
tory everywhere that the raw
material is furnished, and South
Carolina exempts every factory
from all taxation for ten years.
In both the Cardinals, Georgia,
Texas. Arkansas, Mississippi
and Tennessee there are regular
emigration bureaus, not only
inviting but urging white set
tiers, and even Mississippi has
several of the largest and most
successful factories in the south.
The cotton crop. of this year
will be worth S5oo, 600 900,
and when simply spun ito yarn
it will be worth nearly three
hundred million more. Where in
all the world is there so wide
and so tempting a field for legi-
innate enterprise and large
profits1 I believe that half the
whole cotton product viii be
spun in the south before anoth-
er ten years, and the succeeding
decade viii furnish southern
factories for the entire crop.

The London Jewish World
says: "a statement has been
published in several journals to
the effect that "the Jews ai
London have recognized the
service Of the late George Eliot
to the Hebrew race by offering
up prayers for the repose of her
soul" Although the Jews gen
orally gratefully acknowledge
the liberal sentiments expressed
by George Eliot in her works
toward Jews and Judaism, no
such prayers as stated have been
offeredup in any synagogue"

CENSUS items are numerous
Just now. Some progressive
genius has made a comparison
between the population of the
United States and that ofvarious
European countries, based upon
the latest statistics. He says:
Compared with the great ma
tons Of Europe, the United
States show greater popula-
ton than any except Russia,
which contains over seventy
two millions of inhabitants.
Against our 5o,I5455o, Ger
many shows 42,727,36o; Aus
tria-Hungary, 37,33I,42o;
France, 36,6o5,7SS; Great Brit
ain and ireland, 34,I6o,ooo; It
ally. 27,76o,475;; Spain, I6,526,-
5Ir. The total population of
Europeis given by the Alma
mach de Gotha as 3II,763,7rs.
Hence we have have even now
only about one-sixth as many
inhabitants, though our area
and that of Europe as a whole
are nearly equal" And here is
a list of the eight largest States
in the Union with some facts in
regard to them: "The eight
largest States in the Union are
in the order named: ~ New
York, (2) Pennsylvania, (3)
Ohio, (4)Illinois 81 Missouri,
To- Indiana, % Massachusetts,, |
~ Kentucky. The aggregate
population of these States in
1880 was 23,z7I,47s, and in
IS7oit was I9,2247eo. They |
had then just about one-half the
total population. they now fall
short of it by nearly two mil
lions"

The A,gns forgets the fact that
every male parent has a pecu-

up badly and they are bad boys
and bad citizens; others again
raise good boys, who make
