FACTS AND FIGURES.

One of the largest manufacturers of
iron and Bessemer steel in Pennsylvania
is about to transfer his works to Ala
bama-
The Winchester Armory, New Ha-
ven, Conn, declined an order for 50,
100000 cartridges from Turkey until
satisfactory security should be offered.
1t is asserted that Krupp cannot
Meet his big gun orders, viz: Rouma-
MIA, 100; Greece, 700; Sweden, so; Hol-
land, 120; Italy, 400. Such are Europe's
peace prospects.
The great Brooklyn bridge is
costly affair. Thus far nearly S13, ,000,-
600 have been expended on it. and it
will take another year and some more
millions of dollars to complete it.
The population of New South Wales
is estimated at 750, 900, being an increase
of 100000 during the last ten years.
The population of New Zealand is 4S9.-
sol. The population of Tasmania is
116, 900.
The Ironsides, the first locomotive
built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
weighed about five tons. Locomotives
of over forty tons are not uncommon
among the present turnout of the same
works.
The average caily production oil
petroleum during the past year in the
United States was 75, 900 barrels. The
estimated daily consumption of crude
oil throughout the world is $4,000
barrels.
ID. P. Todd, of the Nautical Alma
mac Office at Washington, has just com
pleted the comparison of individual
measures of the American photographs
taken of the last transit of Venus. The
result is 92, OPS, 900 miles for the mean
distance of the earth from the sun, tax
ing as the base Clark's value of the
earth's equatorial radius.
The bolls of the American cotton
plant are larger and open more readily
than those of the Indian plant, and the
American cotton should be easier to
gather in a more cleanly condition than
with the Indian varieties. The capsules
of the American cotton are fye-lobed,
while the Indian cotton is only three
lobed and in many cases never open at
all, but have to be separated after pick
ing. The leaves of the Indian plant are
much smaller and more friable than the
American variety.
The expression CAL" popularly
used to designate the first quality ot
articles, is copied from the symbols of
the British and foreign shipping list of
the Lloyds. ''A' is used to designate
the character or conditions of the hull
of vessel, and the figure "1'' to de-
note the efficient state of her anchors,
cables and stores. If those are insult
fcient in quantity or quality, the figure
's2" is used to indicate the same. When
it is said of ship sheis '.A1,n it means
that she is all right as to hull, rigging
and equipment.

The Style.

Though it would seem that the people
of all countries are equally vehement
in the pursuit of this phantom, style,
yet in almost all of them there is o
stronge diversity in opinion as to what
constitutes its essence; and every differ
ent class, like the pagan nation, adores
it under different form. In England
an honest citizen packs up himself, his
family and his style in a buggy or tim
whisky, and rattles away to spend Sun
day. A baronet requires a chariot and
pair; n lord must needs have a barouche
and four; but a duke, o. duke, can
not possibly lumber his style along
under a coach and six, and a half a
score of footLnen. This style has ruined
the peace and harmony of many a
household, for no sooner do they set up
for style, than instantly all the honest

ture is discarded, and you stalk eau
Giously about, amongst tho uncomforta-
ble spleudor of Greclan chairs, Egyptian
tables and Etruscan vases. The vast
improvement in furniture demands an
increase in the domestic establishment,
and family that once required two or
three servants for convenience, now
employs half a dozen for style. Bell

seized with, however preposterous,

with a whim-wham that tickled the
whole court. She could not lay down
to take an afternoons loll but she must
have one servant to scratch her head,
two TO tickle her feet, and fourth to
fan her delectable person while she
slumbered. The thing took-it became
the rage, and not sable belle in all

The death Of President Garfield
did not stop the hostility between
the "Stalwarts" and "Half Breeds
in the State of New York. This
was the issue in electing their dele
gates to the recent State Conven
ton. In Conkling's own County,
Utica, the contest for delegates was
very close the two factions held
separate meetings and elected a
different set of delegates, the Stall
warts being headed by ex-U. S.
Senator Conkling, and the Half
Breeds, or Garfield Republicans, by
ex,State Senator Lowery. When
the State Convention met m New
York City the 5th the Half Breeds
were in a majority, even leaving
out the contestine delegations.
After a short, sharp and decisive
fight they got entire control Of the
Convention and had things their
own way.

Some weeks ago we took the ground
that the advocates Of prohibition
would damage the cause Of Temperance
in South Carolina if they did not cease
to press their movement. The result II
North Carolina is proving the correct
ness Of this position, for soue time
before the election in that State on
prohibition, by which the movement
was defeated by more than hundred
thousand majority, the city of Char.
lotte elected dry ticket and refused
to grant licenses. Now that the fight
has been made and lost in the State,
the city council of Charlotte has re-
considered its action aud decided to
grant licenses for the sale Of spirltuous
LIQUORS as heretofore. This should be
a lesson to the ultra prohibitlonists IN
this State. They had better let we'll

South Carolina is probably the only
State in the Union that can point

Franklin J. Moses is in Jail for swind-
ling a citizen in the paltrY sum of
twenty-five dollars. Daniel Cham

fact that it was red shirt. stralghtout,
Bourbon Democracy that saved this
State from having Scott, Moses,
