come co-workers with you. If you
enlist their respect, then their SYM

work when you have done, and will
go ahead pertecting what you have
commenced,

A LONDON scientist predicts that
the time is not far ahead of US when
electricity will be stored SO success
fully and cheaply, that little boxes of

by rail. What the distressed editor
wants is thousand-ton charge un-
der his exchange pile.

GOVERNOR ROBERTS tells Neaos
reporter that he has no fears that
any candidate will succeed who pro-
poses 10 change his policy of gov
ernment. Judge Ireland differs with
him somewhat, and, therefore. this

evidence of antagonism between
these gubernatorial candidates.

THE funeral took place at Alex
andria, Virginia, recently, of Colonel
Willism R. Mclean, who had the
singular fortune to own and reside
upon the fields of Manassas and Ap-
pomattox when the two armies met
at these places at the beginning and
end of the war. After Manassas,
anticipating continued hostilities in
that neighborhood, he bought a farm
near the Appomattox river, to which
he removed his family. 1t was on
this farm that General Lee CON-
pleted the formal act of surrender.

1t is often claimed that there is
more in the mixer than i'll the COW,
in the matter of big milk product.
Rev. G. G. Spence, of Walton county,
Georgia, has given additional proof
of this theory. Taking an ordinary
scrub COW, but one that had good
points to be developed, he
has, after a couple of months good
care and careful milking, brought
her daily yield of milk up to- five
gallons. And yet some men think
all kinds of farming can be done
without culture, system or sense.

manufactures. Figures showing
the margin for profit in the Georgia
cotton mills have heretofore been

on the cotton used by the southern
mills is given by an exchange at
from 80 to $S per bale. This must
sooner or later render them formid-
able competitors with cotton mills
less favorably situated.

The purpose of the Radicals to
oust Mr.. TIllman from his seat in
congress from South Carolina and
seat the negro Smalls in his stead is
the most barefaced of the outrages
perpetrated in the name of "free

absolutely nothing to justify their
course except returning board logic,
which takes for its premises and
conclusions that the negroes ought
to vote the Radical ticket, they do
vote it, and therefore the Radical
"is always elected"

SENATOR HALE, who presided over
the Maine Republican state conven-
tion, Tuesday, was very blunt in
some of his references to President
Arthur. Among other things he
declared that the president " has be-
longed to that portion of the Repub-
lican party which has been in a mi
nority, which is now in more of a
minority than ever, and of which
he believed it will be healthful for
American politics if 1t remained in
that minority" Mr.. Hale fu0ther
said he did not believe President
Arthur was now bent on breaking
down the great majority and setting
up that minority, but that "if he
was so bent, he is bound to make a
more deplorsble failure than any
man who was ever president" But
the New York Tribune recites facts
to show that the president is bent on
setting up the very minority which
Mr.. Hale affects to despise.

Near the Crater Of VesuyfT

Arriving at the edge of the 1872 crater from the West, one crosses the crater plain and arrives at a low senicircular ridge with an average height of about 20 feet. Ascend ing this rim like heap of scoria, one observes occupying it's irregular bottom fumaroles and yellow patches of decomposing lava The complete crater of July is formed of this ridge, together with the southern portion of the former cone of eruption. Within this space rose another cone of eruption whose centre was occupied by the main vent. On this occasion it was possible to approach within few yards of the great mouth, from
 which issued the column of vapor and mo- mentary puffs of fluid lava fragments. Thus it will be seen that there are at present three cones and craters one within the other. This,
 however, was not the most interesting point.
 In the lava of the great plain we discovered large cone or lava tunnel about feet high,
 20 or 30 feet long. and 15 feet broad, but
 with general slope downward. The roof was composed of lava about eight months old, but much decomposed. The whole cave presented one glistening forest of stalactites, some 300 about were counted; also stalag- mites Most of these were from to feet long, and few twice that length; many, however with a uniform diameter of less than an inch throughout and tubular, diyid- ed by septa, reminding one of an Orthoceras in structure The colors most various and beautiful; birds egg blue aqua marine, salmon, white, yellow and reddish brown, and many variegated in these colors. The effect after the eyes quitting the rugged and fierce scenes around seemed to rest on some fairy cave. On attempting to approach the entrance the gust of hot air, redundant with hydrochloric acid vapor, almost prevented one from making an attempt at an entrance. However, these beautiful and interesting prizes determined me to make an endeayor. Nose and mouth untitled, and having placed my friends on each side of the entrance with strap, made dive down some steps. The effect was at first almost suffocation, stingine of the coniunctiya, and a profuse perspira tion. To grab few of those stalaetites neal at hand and return was the work of minute
 then the hearty pull up by my friends, fl of coughing, and a little fresh air restored | me. This was repeated eight times, during which was able to obtain all the best speci
 mems, some 30 examples, and reach the ex 1 tremity of the cavity. These prizes wer, carried carefully to Naples, where they hav' been placed under glass in a dry atmosphere
 since they were highly deliquescent. quail

The situation at Danbury is a very unfor- tanate one, but we hope not as dangerous as some think. We do not share in the criti- cism of the Governor for ordering troops to be in readiness to go to Danbury.

The Chinese telegraph lines have been thrown open to ths public. The authorities have taken into consideration the fact that telegraphie communication is new in China, and that it's advantages will make their way slowly among the people at first, unless some vigorous steps are taken to make them known. They have accordingly decided to give the public free use of the lines for one month. This bold and swise measure will, we doubt not, be fully justified by the re- suit.
