What Manufactures Do for a City.

 A little over a year the writer pass
 ed through Roanoke, Va, then a mere
 wav-station known us Big Lick To-day R0anake has about 5000 inhabitants and will probably have more than dOub- le that number inside of year. Ihlt wonderful development Is due 10 manu- factures. The Shenandoah Valley and the Norfolk and Western Railroads de termineA to make this point their june tion. and are now erecting shops ID which endowment will be given to about LOO hands. The managers of these roadsinterested some Philadelphia capitalists in Roanoke, and Land lm- pr0vement Company, with a nomlual capital of S2,OO0OOJ, of which SJOO,UOO Is paid up, was formed; then came a large furnace company with heavy capital: then tine CrOzier Steel and Iron Company, with S3Oc,OOO caPi- tai. followed by numerous smaller manufacturing establishments; while in to-day's Journal of Commerce. and Manufacturers Record we note the purchase of site at that city for large flour mill; the organization of a new iron company with capital of SSOu,UoO; an increase or SJuusUuO lo tue pdlQ- up capital of the Land Improvement Com pany; aud, in addition to all these, a contract has just been closed for the erection of fifty new build ngs. There are also a number of tobacco factories; a planlng n.ill and sash and blind man. ufactOry, and two others in construc- tIon; a steam spoke and axe-handle factory, and a number of other factorIes, while a cotton mill is now talked of.
 This is what one Southern village has done in a year, and one iu which the advantages, while very good, are in no way superior to those possessed by hundreds of other Southern towns and cities. Throughout the South there are many other places building up just as Roanoke is doing, although probably not quite SO rapidly. These place, are thoroughly demonstrating the advan- tages of the Southern States for manu- factures, and the actual results are dO- ing more to convince the world of this fact than all the glittering generalities ever published.

Japan is offering an instructive spec tacle Co the advocates of a paper and fiat currency. About SIX years ago that country decided to initiate some Western nation in sn irredeemable pa- per currency; and the result of this eK- pertinent has been unfortunate. The latest information from Japan IS, that the paper money Is now at discount Ot 70 per cent. It has depreciated in value almost from the start, though subject Co the quick fluctuations which invest this unstable currency with one of its charms to a speculative people. For 6 time the farmers in the interior pre- ierred the new paper money to silver and as a result there has been much sui. tering among them. No one knows the amount in circulation, and the country is suffering sadly from this worthless substitute for money.

Italians Coin. Into Africa.
London Daily News.


 Our Naples correspondent writes: "The Italian travellers BIanchi and Sicata are at present at Naples for the purpose of arranging partly private expedition to Africa. The Italian Government is going to send a messen- ger to King John of AbyssinIa with presents and the plan of an amicable treaty; Bianchi and his companions will form part of the expedition. The gifts of King John will consist of natural and artificial precious stones, guns of large calibre for hunting elephants, and various knicknacks, among the latter some barrel-Organs from Geneva. After presenting the gifts, the Government official will re- turn to Italy by way of Red Sea, but Bianchi and his companions, at the ex- pense Of Tignor Rocca, banker who makes good use of his large fortune, will prosecute their journey Into the in- terior of the country with the view of assuring a means of commerce for the Italian station at Assab. which. when once fairly established, is very likely to succeed, as there are till now by no means sufficient outlets for the riches of the interior of Africa.

Tn referring to the great lack of mail facilities in Apache county, the Pres colt Democrat editorially adds:
 Judge Porter will doubtless charge Mr. Oury with carelessness about Apache county mail matters. If he does he will start a boomerang. No, no, Oury IS ready to show to this grossly neglected people, just how the Re publican party at Washington has treated bis applications in their behalf, respecting mall facilities.
