BOURBON WELL DEFINED.

variable form, or q conjured up non
descript who exists only in diseased
imaginations: We have heard SO
much lately of sI3ourbon" from
mouths. foul and blatant, that we are
conpelled to stop and investigate.
Bourbon is Il term Of opprobrium
applied by stalwart republicans ana
faithless democrats to the honest ana
tried democrat who bears true and I'M
fiinching allegiance to his party.
AS a party shibboleth it is innocent
of harm and we have no Objection 20
its use.
But we do not know, in the broad
limits of the land, Bourbon in the
sense in which the term is applied.
A bourbon, they say, is one who has
naver learned anything and never for |
gotten anything.
Now any fool can sec that ono who
hoo never learned anything has moth
ing to forget. The idea is as crude as
# is ridiculous. 1t is automatic
f,lsehood.
The extent, however, to which it is
used, as II party weapon shows high
estimate of its value.

Half dozen of his associates were

ARTISAN WELLS.

What are they? In answer to the
question we give Il sample illustration.
Let a tube be pressed down one side
of !, basin along the bottom and up and
over the rim of the other side, which is
to be II little lower. a stream of liquid
poured into the upper, will flow
through tho bottom, and out at the
lower end. Fill the basin up with
earth one third, one half or two-thiris
up.
If YOU insert perpendicular tube in
to the vent, one with its top beneath
the level of the planes drawn between
the upper and lower points of the main
tube; the liquid will then flow out of
the mouth of the perpendicular one i'll
a continuous stream or jet. such Is the
philosophy of the artcsian we'll.
Vast strata ofrOcl< beneath the carth'S |
surface sweep down from the noun |
tain side underneath tho vallcysand up
tho side of tho other mountains, and
thus form huge basins, intcriaccd with
gigantic auuctlucts, between these

above illustration of the bent tuhc.
In boring for water, whenever We
strike this Subtcrr:tnc tube and our
locality is below tho plane made by the
limo drawn from the head with the
point where it lcbouchcs, we there get
what is called tho Artcsian we'll. 1t

that they first attracted notice in the

A College Girl.


A College Girl.
She leaned her head on shapely hands,
And let her girlsh fancy rove:
Amid the dingy diagrams
She dreamed Of lovers and of love-
When 'Take the blackboard if you please
Snapped out the grim professoress,
"And find the sine of II degrees
And 80 minutes"-more or less.
She started up with flushing face,
And looked around the room half scared,
Then said, remembering the place,
mot prepared"
She had lover like prince
A loyal lover, too, wis;
And though:she feigned Indifference,
Her foolish little heart was his.
So, when upon the star-lit strand
He spoke of all his hopes and fears,
And pressed her soft patrician hand.
He told his love to willing ears!
Though still. she would not yield as yet,
Lest he should think she really cared,
But whispered low-the sly coqhette!--
mot prepared
They were engaged; and then again
To test that lovers fealty,
Sae treated him with cool disdain
And airted most outrage0usy.
But when her lover came no more,
She wrote and said, remorsefully,
xviii you not seek me. as before,
Redeem your pledge and marry me?'
The answer came-with blush divine
She broke the Waxen seal half scared,
Then weeping, read the single line
mot prepared!"

A Telling ExamOie.

The New Orleans Democrat presents the
following statement 10 prove that the manu-
featuring of cotton at the South would be
not only vastly beneficial to the poorer
classes, but would add largely to the pros
peritY of our entire people.
The little town of Fall River, yass., in
the yesr 1877, gained more by the manufac-
ture of lac. 600 bales Of Southern cotton than
New Orleans did the same year by handling
800, 900 bales. The earnings Of the little
manufacturing town were, over and above
the value of the raw material placed IN the
factories, more than $4,000 900, while
New Orleans gained, on the cotton
that was handled, about S6,5OO,OOO.
Thus Fall River derived from the manufac-
ture Of 1000 bales nearly twice as much
as New Orleans did from her entire cotton
trade. But this is not all. Out OF a popu-
lation of 5000 souls, Fall River engaged
Is, 200 cotton operatives, who gained monthly
$3.50, 900. or s., 800, 900 annually, or 80 cents
per day for each man, woman and child en-
gagged in the factories.
The truth is, the argument In favor OF
manufacturing all Of the great Southern
staple right here where 1t is raised, is now
exhausted. 1t remains to continue to COM
pletion what has already begun, to wit: the
establishment of cotton mills sll through
the South until a sufficient number are at
work to consume every pound Of the staple.
The South must not only raise the cotton,
but utilize It, to the last degree.

According to the Commercial and Financial
Chronicle, the total amount Of stocks and
bonds Of new railroad and telegraph com
panies issued or subscribed for thus far this
year has been S671, OOO, 900, divided as fol
lows: Stocks and bonds for the coustruc-
ton of new lines-mortgage bonds, 1921,
1S3, 900; income bonds, $25, 759, 200; stock,
SAB, $40, 900. Stocks and bonds for i'm
provements, purchase of roads, or issued on
nsolidations-mortgsg bonds, SIS, l69,-
600; income bonds, $21, SOC, 900; stock, $l47,-
OILS, 900. Stocks and bonds Issued without
any valuable OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, "a, 225, :
600; stock, $50, 70S,7 200. The amount of
cash called for by these stocks aud securi-
ties is about 1924. 6S3, 900 for the construc-
ton Of new railroads, and $155, 1874, 200 for
purchase Of extensions, cancellations, etc.
Many Of these stocks and bonds have been
issued, not for lines to be constructed this
year, but to provide for extensions to be
made in 1882. The actual amount of rail-
road completed this year, up to September
l, Is about 3. 500 miles, and it has cost about
$4,000, O0O. Such showing as this is en-
couraging as indicating the prosperity Of the
country and the progressive and enterpris-
ing character Of our moneyed men, but 1t
also gives hint of danger in the TOO rapid
growth Of speculation.

Vanderbilt's new house on Fifth avenue,
now nearly completed, does not make much
Of a show, being a quiet and respectable
building In brown stone, yet is the most ex-
pensive private residence ever erected In
this country. 1t has already cost 81, SOC. 900
UNFINISHED, and 100000 more will be ex-
pended for lot as a play ground for the
children of the family. Some of the items
may not prove uninteresting to people who
cannot afford to expend as much money on
their residences as the great railroad mil
lionsire. Stopping In front of the house,
you land on stone, especially cut for the
pavement, fifteen feet square and costing
5000. The bronze doors OF the house cost
So, 900, the mosaic pavement In the hall
$50 600, the bronze ratings around the yard
$4,000. The building contains besides the
usual rooms, a picture gallery-over $780,
900 will be spent in fitting this up-libra-
ries, etc. A neat and somewhat novel idea
is the paving the roof, so as to make it a
pleasant promenade and flower garden.
