Atlanta Cotton Exposition.

Mr. H. L Kimball, Director General
of the Atlanta Cotton Exposition, an
nounces by circular that the financial
success of this great international enter
prise is assured beyond doubt, by the
liberal subscriptions that have been made
to its stock, by the large number of en-
tries already made, and by the certainty
of an immense thrOng of visitors. In
this connection it is proper to make spe-
cial mention of the fact that no charge
will be made against exhibitors for floor
space, but on the contrary the most com
plete and free allowance of room will be
provided. The Director General has
left nothing undone to secure the great
est facilities to exhibitors and visitors,
and we have no doubt that his efforts
will give entire satisfaction.

The report of the Secretary of the
Treasury for the past fiscal year, which
ended June 80, 1881, is not yet ready for
publication and will not be for some
time to come, but enough of it is known
to declare that it will be highly satisfac-
tory and flattering. Our customs receipts
will be larger by $11, 100000 than they
were last year and larger than for nearly
any previous year. The internal re-
ceipts will also be 81. 900 larger;
and the total receipts $SO,OOO,OOO over
those of 1879-S0. The interest paid on
the debt is now $S4, 100000. or more
than $11 900, 900 less than in 1879. Our
revenues are thus increasing while our
expenditures and national debt are grow
ing beautifully less"

The average weight Of brain in vari-
Gus races is said to be as follows:
English and American, 45.7 ounces /;
French, 446 ounces; German, All

American Indian, A 4 ounces; Hindoo,
42.1 ounces; Kaffir (AfricaD) As

Oceanic race, 80 to 43 z ounces. This

The announcement was made, the
other day, that mosquitoes had been
found in London presumably import
ed by Americans-and that member of
Parliament had been so seriously bitten
by them as to produce erysipelas. The
news seems TO be authentic, for the
English papers are quite serious and
anxious about it. One of the chief at
fractions of the British isles, the absence
of all insects that bite, is now gone.
The British journals appear to regard
the mosquito as much more dangerous
animal than he really is. "He is ex.
tremely dangerous with children" the
Nel1s remarks, land erysipelas often sets
in when they are much bitten"

Two Philadelphia mechanics have

began their experiments a few years
ago by melting tin scraps and galvanized
iron refuse, and have succeeded In
procuring superior article of iron from
them. They now employ sixteen or
eighteen workmen. They pay three
dollars a ton for tin scraps delivered
on the premises. These are placed in a
furnace and carbonized, so as to make
a soft iron or semi.steel. 1t is said that
one ton of scraps will make a ton of
metal, and by condensing the fumes
from the furnace with water eighty
pounds of oxide of tin is recovered.

Higher Civilization" in Chicago.

OHttNJO AfFO0ftSs
1t is evident that the divorce practice
on the Chicago courts requires stricter
attention from the Judges than has been
given it for some time past. The Taylor
case shows how easy, informal and reck
less the practice of granting divorces
has become. One William A. Taylor
was able to obtain a divorce from his
wife, both living in Chicago, without her
knowledge. The husband seems to have
had no grounds for divorce, and yet was
able to procure one so eXpeditiously and
quietly that the first intimation the wife
had of the fact was the notice Of the
marriage of her husband to another
woman, she continuing to live
with him for months after he
had procured the unknown divorce.
If there were no other evidence of
the baseness OF the divorce practice than
the bold statement of this one case there
would be sufficient warning of the ne
cessity for reform. In the Taylor case
it seems that an appearance was entered
for the wife by an attorney named
Kinney. The answer was filed and i'm
mediately withdrawn, and thereafter the
proceedings progressed smoothly and
secretly until the decree was granted.
Mr.. Kinney explains that man called
at his office with written authority
for him to appear as Mrs. Taylor's
attorney; that he declined to
act upon such document
alone, not knowing that the sigma
ture was genuine; that the next DAY q
woman appeared, who represented her
self as Mrs. Taylor, and expressed de-
sire to have the matter disposed of as
quickly and quietly as possible, and that
thereupon he accepted the fee, entered
an appearance, filled an answer, then i'm
mediately withdrew 1t under instruc-
tons, and thus permitted the case to
proceed without further obstacle to a
fraudulent decree.
Doulter, who killed his divorced wife
on Sunday at Chicago and subsequently
escaped from Jail, was found Wednesday

country. 1t is reported that the coDtri'
buttons from this side have fallen off

landlords. Nevertheless, it is no more
than just that such Irish tenants as are
able to contribute to the Leagues fund
should be given an opportunity of doing
so.

Mr.. EYarts on Disability.

Upon the subject of Presidential in
ability Mr.. Evarts said he had thought
somewhat, and he had watched the
course of the discussion in the news
papers. He thought that it was ques-
ton on which the people should have
no differences. 1t would best be left.
he thought, until such time as a neces-
sity should arise for its settlement. He
did not think the people were disposed
to be unfair in considering it; but when
a necessity should arise he had no doubt
the constitution would be found elastic
enough to provide for the Vice Presi-
dents acting for the President. "Of
course" he said, "while thele is a pos
sibility of a termination of the disabili-
ty, there cannot be two Presidents, and
the Vice President could only execute
the duties of the position as acting
President, but with no less authority for
the time of his temporary service than
as if he were President in fact and
law"
If Congress should find it necessary
to declare the disability of the Presi-
dent, Mr.. Evarts thought it would be
proper for the Vice President then to
act for him.
