The South sOws, the North Reaps.

The Atlanta GA Constitution has
very interesting editorial. Astounding
III statistical information, showing how
little the South manufactures of the
staple he'grows. In closing its article
the Constitution says: but the lament
able fnct stands out clearly that the cot
ton States manufacture less than one
bale out of every thirty that they pro
duce. The other twenty nine are cart
ed away to enrich other States and
other countries. There is onlya fraction
oft he spindles of the country IN the
South-fve per cent. in the cotton
States and % per cent. in the States
that know not the cotton plant!
The fact needs no comment.
1t goes far toward explaining the accu-
mulating wealth of the Northern States.
And yet there is really no more reason
why the cotton factories should be
away from the cotton fields than there

moved from the ginhouses. 1t does
not now pay to widely separate
the oil mills from the raw mate
rial, and, unless good judges arc ut
fault, it viii not pay in the course of a
few years to spin and weave cotton out
side of the cotton States" The points
made by our Atlanta contemporary are
forcible and to the point. 1t is Just
rs easy for our people to manufacture
every pound Of cotton manufactured
in the South rs it is to manufacture
every pound of cotton seed into oil.
Yet we manufacture the husks and
send the kernel from home. But light
is penetrating the minds Of the South
crn people. The day is not far distant
when every pound of the raw cotton
will be manufactured at home just as
the cotton seed is now manufactured
where it is grown. = Memphis Appeal.

The International sunday-SehOol conven-

Clon.
There were about 500 delegates to
the International Sunday School con
vention held last week az Toronto,
Canada. The United States was well
represented, and delegates were pres,
ent from Kentucky, Georgia, North
Carolina, Mississippi, South Carolina,
West Virginia and Virginia. Gov.
Colquitt, of Georgia, who presided at
the last convention, was present with
a large party and made a very stirring
speech. The report Of the secretary
shows that there are about 10000
Sunday-schools in the United States,
with about 5000 teachers and schol-
ars. The number of teachers and
scholars in the Sunday-schools of the
world was shown to be about Is, coo,

The Memphis Appeal says: Few
things have engaged the attention OF
inventors more than projects to con
sumo smoke, but hitherto the efforts
have been in vain. AT the recent
meeting in London of the Society of
Engineers the president stated that
smoke cannot be consumed, as each
particle is surrounded by 4 film of
carbonic acid; when condensed as SCOT
it can be burned The only practical
plan is to prevent smoke. This is done
by a rt of box that holds the fresh
coal in the front of the fire: gases that
form smoke are there consumed when
the box is pushed forward, the coal de
prived Of its gas added to the clear
fire, and more fresh coal is put into
the box in front. Fuel is saved, heat
economical and smoke prevented by
this process Have we really got
cure tor the smoke nuisance at last?

THE CONCERT.

The concert given by the Sheboygar
Qnartette at Temperance Hall in Meme
far exceeded expectations. Although the
weather was unfavorable the attendance
was good. Among the singers were
Messrs. Hubert Simon and Thos Hayes,
Misses Julia Hayes, Sarah Peppard,
Mary Ghast, Katie Donahue and Anna
Bohne. All were applauded. Among
the instrumental soloists were Mr.. Aug.
Pott, pianist, and Mr.. Louis Simon,
violinist. The most prominent musician
of Sheboygan claims that Mr.. Simon is
one of the best violinists in the United
States, as he is capable of performing
the most difficult music as for instance
the compositions of Pagannini and OF

We are in receipt of the report of the
directors and warden of the state prison.
The prison is almost if not quite self sup

September 80, are $40, 688. OF this
amount S27,S73, comes from the convict
labor let to contractors The balance on

only one half of that left at the end of the
previous year. Since the organization of

20 and 80 years of age, and there are two
who were between the ages of 50 and 90
when sentenced. OF the whole number
1850 were American and 1172 of foreign
birth The greatest number of these
were farmers, numbering 673. There
are at present 277 persons confined in the
prison of which 121 were received during
the year. OF these 243 have been con-

A BEAUTIFUL PHENOMENON.

On Friday last at about IL A. NJ, the
heavens presented one of the most beau
tiful phenomena seen in these attitudes.
At about 4Oo above the horizon the sky
was spanned by band of white light,
everywhere parallel to the horizon and
passing through the sun. This immense
halo was divided irregularly by mock
suns, there being five in all visible to the
naked eye. In the two sun dogs nearest
the sun and about 15o from it on either
side, the light was decomposed into its
prismatic colors, but the arrangement
was different in each. In the other sun
dogs the light was not decomposed into
primary colors and they had ali the APP
pearance of suns. 4 little to the south
of the zenith Was beautiful rainbow or
more properly solar spectrum as its po-
sition in reference to the sun will hardly
admit of its being called rainbow. 1t
was toward the sun and it appeared on
the same side of the heavens as the sun,
These facts are what added wonder to the
admiration which the phenomenon at
tracted. The colors were arranged as in
the primary rainbow but apparently
more brilliant.
Although such phenomena are. exceed
ing rare in these ATTITUDES, they are by
no means uncommon in the higher lati-
tudes. The severe and long continued
cold which preceded these haloes, pro
duced atmospheric conditions favorable
to meteorological phenomena peculiar to
Arctic regions. The brilliant spectrum
near the zenith differed from O rainbow
i'll that it appeared on the same side of
the heavens as the sun and with its con-
vex side toward the sun. Every student
of natural philosophy knows how the
rainbow is formed and the natural i'm
possibility of its being located relatively
to the sun as the spectrum Of last Friday
But perhelia are formed by the refrac-
ton of light by ice and snow crystals.
cross section of these crystals is hex
agonal aud of course refraction and dis
persion are different from what they
would be in light passing through glob-
ules of water. Most persons must accept
this statement on faith as the demonstra-
ton is by no means simple. The wealth
er need not necessarily be lazy for the
manifestation of these phenomena, al
though it generally is so.

The gentlemen who is going to lecture
here on the 14th inst, has reputation
in Europe which could not be secured
except through merit. Some of the most
prominent of the London journals give
him very complimentary notices and the
celebrated Bradlaugh vouches for bis
worth over his own signature. Such pa
pers as The Leeds Mercury, The Water
ford Mail, The Greenwich Free Press,
and The Limerick Examiner bear testi-
mony TO his excellence as a lecturer.
Such person should be literally pat

We are In receipt Of the annual report
of the secretary of state. The increase
in the amount of state tax levied upon
this county induced us to institute CON-
parison between the assessed valuation
Of the property of Manitowoc county and
the value as fixed by the state board.
Hhe total valuation as made to aggregate
by the report OF assessors, was 81 ,607,
159. The value as determined by the
state board was 81, 364,1 As report
ed by assessors the county ranks 18th in
wealth; as equ.lized by the state board
it ranks 18th. The valuation of all pro-
perty in the state as fixed by assessors is
1926, go, 143; as determined by the board
SAC, 5S2, 100. We have not the report
of 1879 at hand. In 1873 Manitowoc
county stood 14th in valuation as liked
by the state board. Still the heavier
state tax this year is the result of heavier
expenditures and not the increased rela
tive valuation of the county.
Fifteen counties expeud greater sum
annually for support of poor than our
county, very creditable showing. In
salaries but seven counties expend more
than Manitowoc. In Jail expenses Mani
towoc county stands second in the state
Some of the largest counties are omitted
in this item however. In the total
amount of money expended in the county
Manitowoc stands 9Th. That is, there
are but seven counties in the state which
expended a greater amount of money for
the year ending December 81, 1879, than
Manitowoc county.

SUPT. VIKBAHN presented his report
on the granting of state certificates to
graduates of private colleges, taking
grounds against the law authorizing
their issuance. Prof. 7. G. Chamberlain
presented minority report excepting
even the graduates of the university and
normal schools from this privilege. The
reports called forth very animated dis
cussion. The majority report was finally
adopted.
The legislature may now repeal the
Ubiquitous law. ss the State Teachers
Association has officially pronounced
against it. OF course the repeal cannot
be made retroactive and the certificates
issued while the law was in force caunot
be revoked. BUTT is question whether
they will be of any value or serve as re-
commentator. OF course their posses
sion will remove the necessity of their
holders passing an examination, but this
is very small advantage. 1t would be
good thing for the legislature to ask the
superintendent how many certificates
were issued in pursuance of the law
10 question.
