A Chance for Jute.
IN. o. picayune. |

N. U. Picayune.
The enormous amount of jufe bag
ging used in the United States, and es-
pecially in the South, where it is re-
quired for covering six million bales of
cotton annually, directs attention to
this article as staple of great inpor-
tance and value to the people OF this
country.
Jute, as is we'll known, grows lnxuri
antly. and can be produced with little
trouble and expense in the Gulf States,
bnt the difficulty of preparing the staple
for market has been the great obstacle
in the way of its adoption as Il South
ern agricultural product. The jute of
commerce is grown in India and is there
prepared for market by the cheap hand
labor of the natives, and as a conse
quence the Southern planter, at the
rate lie is forced to hire labor cannot
grow and prepare the fibre SO as to
compete with the Asiatic producer.
Attempts have been made to use me-
chanical contrivances for separating the
fibre of the plant from the woody mat
ter of the stalk, but heretofore no salts
factory results had been secured; but
new new machine for separating and
preparing the jute fibre has come to at
tention, and as far as it has been tested,
it.appears to have accomplished the SOL
ution of most important problem.
Details of experiments with this ma
chine are given In another column, in a
letter from Col. Daniel bennett. He
presents an interesting account of the
working of the machine at the Menelas
plantation, near Brooklaven, Miss.,
last Friday, October 81, when it was
employed upon green jnte stalks just
as they were cut from the fields. The
results given are said by Mr.. bennett
and other gentlemen to be excellent.
So effectnally did the machine do its
work that Mr.. Smith, the patentee, who
was present to test it's operations, de-
clared that it would prepare jute fibre
for market ut IA total esst for production
and separation of~2 to q cents per
ponnd, whom the imported article is
selling in the markets of this, country
at to 4b cents pound, an unusually
low price by the way, bat one, never
theless, which will pay handsome
profit to the American producers.
With these results assured, another
great industry will be opened to the
Southern planters, and vast areas of
lands in Louisiana and other of the
Southern States will be available for it's
development; but the matter will not
stop with the production of jute. The
ramie will follow logically. The need
of machines that viii properly and pro-
fitably effect the preparation of the
ramie fibrs, will doubtless be supplied
as effeetually az for the jute,- The
Whitney gin created the cotton iadus
try. Ii remains for another genius to
bring the jute and ramie fibres to a
front rank in our textile productions.
Let US hope this grand result is now
about to I've realized, and that Other
great industries are TO be opened up to
the rich lands of lower Louisiana and
the whole Gulf coast.

Egypt AnaIrs.

Alexandria, Aug. 1.-The marines
from the Inconstant Defense and the
Invlncible landed at Gabari and were
conveyed by train to Meks, which they
occupied. A scare took place last eve
ming. There is a clump trees on the
Sweetwater canal about In the centre of
the British line. The outpost
was guarded by a company of 16 rifle
men who were duly posted there last
evening and cautioned by Major Gen.
era( Alison as to the necessity of main
tanning absolute steadiness, and
were ordered in event Of attack in
force to fall back in order on the barri-
caded house by the side of the canal.
These instructions were apparently
fully understood, and the general left
satisfied.
About . O'Clock this morning the
enemy suddenly appeared on the left of
our post with infantry and cavalry.
They had approached very rapidly and
unobserved, and before our men had
time to check their advance, they
charged the clump of trees at a great
pace. The rifles hred a single volley
and then broke and ran along the bank
of the canal. The outlook would seem
to have been very defective and still
worse still, the ~retreating troops neg
lected all orders concerning the rallying
point, and never stopped until they had
the reached water works, a hill about
a mile distance. -Four of them ran I'M
til they had reached the camp. They
spread all sorts Of ridiculous rumors,
such as they lost all of their comrades
and the last they had seen of Major
Ward he was surrounded by the enemy
and similar nonsense. A company in-
stantly moved forward to the bank of
the canal. The enemy had apparently
not followed the fugitives far, but had
taken the rifles they had thrown away
in their flight and secured their reserve
Of ammunition.

1t cannot be denied that the owners
of large herds have advantages over the
owner of a small bunch of cattle; but
this does not necessarily imply that the
small herd is Improbable; or that it
must be gobbled up by the larger one.
There are very few men in Texas who
commenced the business wealthy men
on the contrary, the large majority of
them began with small herds, often
less than lO0 head, and have gradually
built up immense fortunes-just as 9TH
ers are doing, and may, for all time to
come, continue to do. The expense of
running a large herd, properly man
aged, is proportionately less than that
incurred in running a large herd. But
a very ~commendable feature of the bus
iness now is that no ranchman is left
to depend entirely on his own exer-
tions. II he prove himself worthy the
aid and confidence of his neighbors
they will assist him by attending the
different round-ups and representing
his interest there and bringing home
his stock, while he is in another section
doing the same work for himself and
them. If a man were compelled to de-
pend on his own force, or were to set
out to run an independent outfit with a
small herd, neither asking or extending
favors, he would soon find to his cost
that small stocks do not pay. But, the
business as now systematized and man
aged is cooperative. and the owner of
a small herd has as much protection as
any other man-this cooperation among
the different n being essentially
the impulse that has dictated and re-
suited in large firms and chartered COM
panies. A cattle company was a rare
thing, if there was any such thing, un-
til b system inaugurated showed the
immense advantages of cooperation.
But, though large companies have been
formed, and though capital seeks all the
cattle it a possibly Craze on any given
range, cooperation still exists among
different owners, to their reciprocal BEN
eft. But while the expenses of the small
owners are materially reduced by the sys-
tenn 10Y maintained still they are larger
in proportion than are those of the
owners Of large herds-but this differ
ence is not Of sufficient Importance to
figure conspicuously in the profits. One

COPPER.

Copper is n of the most ancient of
metals, and the copper age preceded
iron age. Primitive people made use of
implements of copper before the use of
iron became known to them.
Parties are shipping ore to Baltimore
from their copper mine situated in
Wyoming, twenty-six miles from Fort
Laramie. The last returns received
from shipments made show a yield of
go per cent copper and n ounce silver
per ton; at the rate of $50 per ton.
There has recently been an enorm-
ously increased production of copper
from the copper mines of the United
States, and it is believed that that the
amount turned out this year will reach
the large figure of 70,O00 900 pounds. or
twice the production of five years ago

foot and horse men who passed under
such streaming decorations as greet
the historical Fourth. Preparations
carefully made were as carefully car
ried out, and in due time the living

dress, began to pour toward the exposi-
