The work which the Anti-Mo-
nopoly League has been doing
in other States to inform the
people of the gross abuses at
tending corporate management,
and the rapid progress which
the monopollsts have made in
obtaining control of the mate
rial resources of the nation, has
evidently told, and there as in
New York the people begin to
realize that the Republican party
has become the party of monop-
oily. In Massachusetts, Connec-
Pennsylvania, Indiana,
and indeed all along the line, the
people seem disposed to try
what the Democratic party will
do for them in protecting their
rights against the encroach-
ments of the great organizations
which the people have created.

silk Culture in the South.

1T moves, SILENTLY butsurely.
Mulberry trees are beingplanted
in great numbers, and in a few
years the ladies who have taken
this industry in hand will show
what women can do in an in
dustry which they can direct and
control. But little can be done
for two or three years. besides
planting and preparing mulber-
~ orchards to supply food for
silk worms to feed upon. After
that comes the silk worms and
the cocoons, and the cash re-
turns for those who have COM
meneed planting the trees.
The letter of Col. Hillyard to
the editor of the Bolton (Texas)
Journal on silk culture is full Of
interesting facts, very encoura-
ging to all persons, particularly
Southern women who have en-
gagged in silk culture.
Col. Hillyard recommends
the friends of silk culture to Or
ganize everywhere if but three
or four persons, organize and
commence planting and moving
in this industry. he recon-
mends the ladies to send out
their incest young ladies to soil
cit subscriptions to aid the So
ciety in getting a good start
in planting mulberry trees, Or
getting silkworms' eggs, books
and papers, that the business
may be started right aud pur-
sued intelligently. They should
buy mulberry trees this fall and
set them out, but later will do
Cocooneries should be estab-
lished as soon as possible, and
instructions given at the silk
society meetings. School chill
dren aud others should be invi-
ted to hear lectures, discussions
and facts connected with the
whole business, that all who en-
gage in the business may be
familiar with all its details; boys
and girls should learn these
facts early in life, and they may
often benefit their parents who
wish to engage in the business

Many of the readers of this

the impression that job print

and as cheap here as in the city.
They do not even endeavor to
ascertain whether their impress

supply of printed stationery is
needed, off to New Orleans goes
the order. We saw a package
of bill heads recently just from

thought preferable TO order from

scribed, Sl5O,OO0 has already

president. Among the largest
stockholders, is Mr.. q. A. Brak-
enridge, of Michigan, who, in re-
ply TO the question if the organ
Ization of so large a company
would hurt the small mill own
ers around Lake Charles, said /:
= THE small mill owners in that
locality are q little skittish that
the company wlI hurt them.
That is a mistake ; as the COM
pany has been organized to make
money, and the timber will last
q long time. The company does
not intend TO manufacture or
put the lumber on the market
any faster than there is u de-
mand for ii, at remunerative
prices. 70 overstock the mar
ket would not only hurt the mills
already there, but do ourselves
no good. The company will be
able TO hold its lumber until such

almost exclusively to jobbiHg from

cattle arriving in scant numbers and
no movement worth speaking of in
mules or horses, A few new potatoes

fresh crop now beginning to offer, aud
they command rather fancy prices,
selling from wagons at S4a4 80 per

apples is coming in, and shippers pay
$la1 rs per barrel measure, the latter
for unbruiSed hand picked. The

kind needed to make corr and cotton

to Europe, by Wednesdays steamers,
of $2,5oO,0OO gold, of which 81, 800, 600
was for Italy direct, to settle in part
the loan recently negotiated by that
country for the resumption of specie
payments. The agents of the Italian
government have been buying all the
specie they could obtain in London
for some time past, and they have paid
a higher price than the Bank Of En-
gland has offered. A portion of the
intended shipment was, however,
withheld on cable orders, to delay the
movement. Silver bullion is now
quoted in the London market at 52td
per ounce, and the American standard
dollar is worth there about 881c.

MILITARY NOTES.

The "Chicks" drilled thirty-two
men until after eleven lest night, and
did good work.
The New Orleans Crescent Rifles
uniform is blue and gold. Their
drill evening before last was a brilliant
exhibition, and it won by close
shave.
Sergeant Wildberger, Of the I ,rter
Guards, writes that he will leave
Marietta on the 10Th, and will be here
by Wednesday next, from which time
he will lend his valuable support to
his company.
The POrters will drill on the bluff
this evening from half past six to
about eight. One hour of drill in
daylight is worth two hours in the
dark, and SO they are making the
most ofthe daytime they have at their
disposal.
Afterthe Washington Light Guards,
Of Galveston, the Crescent Rifles, Of
New Orleans, and the Louisiana
Rifles, of the same city, had finished
their programme in the drill at the
Fair Grounds, New Orleans, day be-
fore yesterday, the Houston Light
Guards were the favorites among
betters at $25 to $40 against the field,
The latter drilled last, and did so well
that when through more than half Of
the spectators believed they had won
first prize. They, however, only took
second on that day, and the same on
the day before.
The electric Illumination on the
bluff is delayed because the lamps
ordered from the East are resting
quietly on a railway at some unknown
wayside station, which tracers have
not yet caught up with. Meantime
the military must practice by the ligh'
Of the moon, and tin lamps.
1t costs three dollars initiation fet
to become a Porter Guard, and th,
monthly dues are one dollar and 6ft,
cents. An applicant must possess
good moral character, be free from al
infrmity or disease, able to eat harc
tack, an if he isn't as straight as

make him so by putting him through
the drilling sprouts.
