During the Franco-Prussian war of 1870
II French major, taken prisoner, was
approached by Prussian general, who
promised him anything he wished if he
would betray the French plan of CAM
paign.
''Any demand you may make. said the
Prussian general, twill be acceded to-"
Tie Frenchman, although indignant,
kept his temper and replied:
II will do what you ask on one condi-

Cotton Manu- featuring in the south.

The progress OF cotton manufacturing In
the Southern States, according to the Gen.
sus reports, is very gratifying. In 1860,
the number of looms was s,23s; number
of spindles, 300, 22l; number of pounds
of cotton used, 5s, 6SS, 629; number of
persons employed, II, ,4s9. In 1870, the
figures were; Looms, II, ,609; spindles,
416, 9s3; pounds of cotton used, 40, 0S2,-
ss6; persons employed, 1908. In 1880:
Looms, Is, 222; spindles, 7I4, 07S; pounds
of cotton used, 10l, ,9S7, 256; persons en-
ployed, %, 22s. The consumption of cot
ton. 1t will be seen, has doubled during the
last ten years, and the figures show q
greater advance in this branch of manu-
facture than the Western States.

A Weird visitor.

/ was terribly frightened one night In
Queensland by dead man riding up to my
camp fire at midnight. | was quite alone.
l heard my horses neighing and another
answering in the Malgas bushes, so l got
up and put wood on, making bright blaze
and presently into the circle of light came
horseman, bending over his pommel,
with his large straw hat slouched over his
eyes took my revolver off my saddle
and sung out. ''Good night mate, You
travel late. viii you have a-drink of teal"
Not a word of answer. Just then my two
dogs, who were smiling about, set up such
a terrible cry it made me jump again.
After a bit l began to open my eyes TO the
state of affairs and mustered courage
enough to walk up to the horse and take
hold of the reins. While doing so l touch
ed the riders hands, which were cold as
ice. tried to get him off the saddle, but
it was OF no use. HIS legs were out of the
irons and wound tightly around the nlsre.
l had TO cut the reins from the grip of his
fingers. packed him on the horse when
sunrise came and led him into Tambo,
where l found he was well-known as
digger. He had set out thence that morn
iDg-afier drinking nearly bottle of
brandy-to go to place distant above
forty miles, and l was only twelve miles
from the township when he paid his i'll
timed visit. There was no doctor within
200 ailes at that time. However, they
held kind of inquest, at which the p. NJ.
talked learnedly of muscular contraction
and sunstrke. and was puzzled TO decide
whether the brandy had anything to do
with it, as he could swear from his own
experience, that the liquor was first-class.
He praised me more than deserved, for
had halt mind to run away at first. When
| am camped out, even now, alone,
strange thoughts of that nocturnal horse
man come into my head. If any one had
told such storvto me l should hardly have
credited i'll mean that a man should stick
TO horse in that way without any other
help than his saddle straps afforded. His
little mare was very quiet, though, and was
evidently attracted by the sound OF my
horsebells.

GENERAL GRANT.
Cabinet RumOFs with which HIs Name
IL Connected.

~ NouueGtNu
WAsHISdToN, January 1.-Thereis q diff
ference Of opinion here among General
Grants friends whether he would accept a
place in Garfeld's Oahintt II offered. The
question has been canvassed among them,
in view Of the oit.recurring rumor that
Garfield would tender the General the po.
sition OF Secretary Of State, A few days
ago an intimate friend Of Grant hinted to
him that such rumors were atoat, and also
that other rumors connected the Generals
name with the presidency Of a railroad
corporation. General Grant laughed, and
replied that he had to work for u living,
and that he would hardly refuse honurH.
BILE employment, The position Of SeCre'
tary OF State is connected with his name
because 1t Is believed that he would prefer
that 10 any other position in the Cabinet
lin fact, that is the only one he would
accept; and, for that mater, no one has
yet been authorized TO say that he would
accept this,
He Is on warm and friendly terms with
General Garfield. A gentleman here IN
the confidence OF Garfield, told your cor.
respondent the other day that Garfield
only wanted to know two things-frst,
whether Grant would accept any office,
and second, what one he would prefer,
and that he (Garfeld) would feel hORored
in the bestOwal.
When General Grant left here q few
weeks ago, he was asked when he would
return. IIerspled, "the last Of February
or the first Of March," This has been
seized upon as an intimation that he would
take office under the incoming administra-
tion, but to say the least the "Cue" is very
small.
Some OF Grants friends say that he
would not accept office, and that Il he
wanted anything in that lins he could get
1t OF the present administration without
waiting for Garfield,
