The Angora Goat.
Industrial South.


There can be no question that the
goat of Asia Minor known Us the An.
CORA is the most valuable OF the lanig-
erous animals. A Boston gentleman
who has given attention to the subject
is our authority for the following state
ments:
The flesh of the Angora goat is not
inferior to the best mutton.
A cross of this species with the Nal
tese goat shows extraordinary milking
qualities.
It's skin, tanned, gives the famous
Turkey morocco of ancient commerce,
or cured with the hair on and used
white or in colors, makes beautiful
robes, rugs, etc. ..... ..
It's hair is one of the four or five raw
fibres of first class value.
England, France, Germany and Rus.
STA have each spent large sums in efforts
to acclimate and successfully rear focks
of these goats in their territories, but
without success. The farmers of Cape
Colony, South Africa, have alone been
successful in establishing the husbandry
away from the native habitat of the an
imal; but even there success has only
been achieved within the past twenty
years. The Angora is hardy and
healthy, is easily managed, and can be
proftably bred and pastured where
even sheep will not thrive. Flocks of
graded goats the fourth cross CIV
ing excellent mohair-can be built up
from the common Mexican goat with
ease, certainty and rapidity, by the use
of the thoroughbred Angora buck.
With all these advantages, the natural
query is, why the husbandry is so little
known and fostered in this country.
In a volume just issued, under the
imprint of the Orange Judd Co., of
New York, we have full explanation
of tho matter. It's author, Hon. John
L. Haynes, L. L. D., now the president
of the tariff commission, has long been
known to the public as the secretary of
the national association of wool manu-
facturers, and as one of the most reada-
BILE and reliable writer's and authorities
upon wool and wool fabric, and also
writer upon topics of interest and value
especially of an industrial character.
The volume we notice is exhaustive in
its scientific as well as practical treat
ment of the subject. In it's pages are
extensive contributions from the best
of breeders and shepherds in Europe
and America, with suggestions of value
from dealers in and manufacturers from
the Angora fleece. Industries recently
established in the United States, Great
ing demand for both the hair and
skins of the goat, are described at
ength, with assurances from manufac-
;urers that they stand ready to purchase
1t paying prices to the grower all of
either material, and all qualities, which
;he country can produce. A beautiful
,olored engraving of group of Angoras
selected specially from Col. Peters
lock in Georgia for illustration to this
yolume, faces the title page, and the ar
printing, paper, indexing,
stc.. are of the first order of excellence.
We recommerd the treatise to public
lotice. It is worthy of careful and ex-
ensive reading and circulation. There
q in it's teachings and suggestions
oreshadowed results for the capitalist
md the nation which are of the highest
Industrial pecuniary advantage and i'm
,ortance.

An EdItress ut Fourteen.
New York Star.

Comparatively few people are aware
that many boys and girls between the
.oss Of ten and twenty years either
ait print, publish or contribute to
miniature journals, which are issued
chiefly for amusement and instruction,
INIT which frequently become paying
investment.
The most successful of these sheets is
the Hurricane, edited and published
nv Miss Eva T.. Britton, Young lady
Of fourteen, at CHARLESTON, s. c., who
ia at present in this city. She was met
the other evening by a Star reporter in
the parlor of the st. Nicholas hotel, and
greeted the scribe with native smile
as she offered him seat. The young
editress is of petite form, has large, in
telligent eyes, pretty features, and long
tresses of wavy chestnut hair. She an
swered all the questions promptly and
in most vivacious manner.
81 feel fatigued," she said. II have
been in Cyrus W. Fields company all
day, and he is such busy man, you
know" ,..
"What is the circulation of the Hur-
ricane?"
az have 5000 bona fde subscribers at
fifty cents each, among whom are Pres
ident Arthur, Jay Gould, ex, President
Hayes, Russell Sage, Cyrus W. Field,
Gen. Grant, the governors of all the
states, the mayors of all the large cities,
and many other prominent public men.
I have all their autographs and photo
graphs, and coats of arms"
as it possible that you travel unac.
companied?" Intercepted the reporter.
"Don't you think 1 can take care of
myself? I have travelled alone through
all of the United States, most of the
territories, Cuba and Canada"
"How do you attend to your paper
while traveling?"
Easily. I write all my articles as
go along, and send the MSS. to my
mother, who has the paper printed and
mails it.
"Are there many amateur journals
now published?".
"Oh, yes, quite number; but you
can't call me an amateur. like jour-
nalism, and intend to be an editress all
my life. I have been elected an officer
in one of the amateur associations, and
I take great interest"
By and by she continued: II have
received an invitation to attend the
convention of newspaper men in Ire
land. The papers have heralded my
coming, but I don't think will be able
to get there. Business occupies the
most of my time, and the remainder
employ in reading. I expect to have
list of $4,000 in short time"
Occasionally the young editress
would seem deeply absorbed in thought,
and then she would suddenly lift her
eyes again.
"You must excuse me-, she explained,
sometimes while am talking think
Of something I jot down for my paper.
You see, I observe everything. g."
Miss Britton is brilliant converse
tionalist, and her language is pithy and
terse. She assured the reporter that
she had not attended school in four
years.
The Hurricane certainly reflects
great credit on its youthful publisher.
In the current number appears an able
editorial on the death of Gen. Garfield,
who was subscriber to the Hurricane. 6
Miss Eva now sends the paper to his ,
widow.

Married on a Mountain.

Last summer Miss Hamilton, aged l6
years the daughter Of Governor Hamil-
ton Of Maryland was at Il picnic with
her father, mother and other friends at
pleasure resort in the Blue Ridge, in q
park at the base Of peak reaching up
from the mountains Upon the topmost
point Of this peak is rock famous for
eXcursionists, known as High Rock,
from which twenty miles Of the Cumber-
land Valley and the States of Pennsyl.
yania and West Virginia can be, seen. -
While the picnic was in progress Miss
Clare slipped away from her friends aud
FASTENED up to the rock, where she found
lover, clergyman, license and witnesses
waiting for her. At an elevation of two
thousand feet above the sea the marriage
was performed, and the young lady
fastened back TO her family, whom she
joined without causing the least suspic-
ion as to thedecisive step she had taken.
The marriage was concealed until early
in September, when the license en- rec
ord caused some talk and led to discov-
cry As her husband is only dry goods
clerk in Baltimore, her father refused
to acknowledge sthe marriage, sent her
back to boarding school, and has begun
proceedings for divorce on the ground
of the extreme youth of his daughter. -

An Experiment.

1t is said that if you have presence Of
mind enough to face raging bull and
look straight into his eyes he is power
less to do you harm. We tried this ex-
pertinent once and found ii worked adj
nirably. The fierce animal tore the
ground with his feet and beloved with
all his might; but something seemed to
hold him Back like magic and he did us
no injury. Perhaps we ought to add,
in order to be correct historically, that
the bull was on the other side Of the
fence. We never try an experiment OF
that kind without taking the proper pre-
cautions beforehand.

An INTERRUPTED Correspondence,

Six years ago two Boston girls who
had eaten bread and butter and pork
and beans together until they became
sworn friends. were torn asunder by
cruel fate in the shape of the husband
Of one of them who decided to 90 West
and grow up with the City of the Straits.
1t was worse than death by several de-
grees to give up her first love for her
second, but the faithful wife followed
the fortunes Of him who had sworn to
buy her bonnets and bonbons, and
pleasant house on the Cass farm became
her home. Since then frequent visits
back and forth and three letters week
have served to make life possible Quite
recently there has been an interruption
in the letter writing, as will be seen by
the following correspondence:

For instance, though regularity of meals
is of the utmost Importance for the
health of the individual, yet we must

cannot be confined so regularly to meals,
as their digestion is more active, in or
der that material be supplied for the

men require food often, as their stom-
achs IRE able to digest only little at
time Women, likewise, being more
feeble in their digestive organs than
men, can only take the lighter kinds Of
food, and only little at time, and
consequently they require food moro
frequently than the other sex. Persons
leading sedentary life can do without
food much longer than those engaged in
an active one. In winter the appetite is
