ONLY AN EDrToR.-A Little Rock
newspaper man while out in the coun-
try stopped at rude farm house for
dinner. Thinking that his profession
would insure extra attention he re-
marked to the farmer: needn't put
yourself to extra trouble for me. for
| am only an editor "a whatI" asked
the farmer, regarding the visitor with
newly awakened interest. "a news
paper man." "Wall, l reckon you
can git suthing to eat any how. Some
folks mout not gin you nOthin' on this
account, but | never was very partic-
ular. But hold on. Editor did l
understand you to sayH' Eyes, sir,

HE HAGERsrowN LIGHT INFANTRY Elk.
ouRsIoN The gallant troop which passes
under the above euphonious name, will take
in the Luray Caverns, on the 18th of July
next. They will not only take it in, but they
willdo SO under the most delightful and in
viting circumstances. In the first place. the
ticket, including ntrance to the cave, touches
bottom rock, figure never before reached
by any similar excursion from this place. and
figure which may not again be reached for
untold ages to come. Two dollars and twen-
ty-ive cents to Luray, the cave, and back.
Think of it, ponder over it, grasp it in all its
details, and you will admit it is an astonish,
ingly low figure. Tho regular price is about
four dollars, and that without admission to
the cave. This is one aud not the least de,
ighttui circumstance, for we spoke circum-
specify when we said the military would do
this trip under inviting circumstances. In
the second place band of frst-class musi>
clans will accompany the excursion, and we
are told will discourse their choicest selec-
tions in the "Giants Hail." while the COM
pany will drill in the "Ball Room" under the
glare OF the CHASTITY electric light, feat mover
before accomplished by man. Heretofore the
management has never allowed ANY demon
stration of this kind, but have kindly relaxed
the strlctness of their rules on this occasion.
We are also informed that many beautiful,
charming and facinating young ladies', and
some not SO young, children and infants also,
will take this opportunity to visit Luray,
knowing that everything will be under mil.
itary discipline and the utmost order and de-
corum be preserved. We may infer also that
the military youths with their fair maidens
will test the dancing qualities of the celebra>
ted ball room, while Mars and Venus look
approvingly on. Another delightful circum,
stance. We might mention many more, but
the imagination readily supplies them. All
friends are cordially invited, and may RELY
upon having good time

AMERICAN SILK.

The report of the Silk Association of
America shows steady increase in the
prosperity of the manufacturers of that
article in this country. The product for
the year ending July 3Oth amounted to
$35, 900, 900, or more than three times
the product of ten years ago. The num-
ber Of factories has increased during
that period from Sc to 3s8, while the
looms increased from 500 to {, 1000, and
the hands employed from $500 to 31,-
300. The wages paid increased from
$4,000, 900 to SO, ,00O, 900, and many new
states not previously engaged in the in
dustry now have factories at work.
These states are Maine, Rhode Island,
California, Illinois, Kansas and Mis-
souri,. The main part of the business is
still, however, confined to New Jersey,
New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
and Pennsylvania. As yet imported
raw silk has to be used in American
manufactures, as silk raising is still in
it's infancy here; but the American made
silk is gaining an acknowledged superb
ority, and makers are taking every pre-
caution to maintain it's standard of
purity and guard against adulteration.
It is often tested with the very best
French-made goods as, standard, the
simplest test of purity being to burn
small quantity of the threads. If pure,
the latter will crisp at once, leaving
residue of pure charcoal only. Silk
which has been subjected to treatment
with heavy dyes will smoldera while and
leave a yellow and greasy ash behind.

ARTEs1AN WELLS ON THE PLAINS.

In the current number of the North
American review DR.. G. A. White, of
Washington, presents some important
data which should guide congress in pro-
viding for artesian borings in the great
arid region Of the west. Last fall the
government made an unsuccessful at
tempt to sink an artesian well at Fort
Lyon, Colorado. But it is proposed to
renew the experiments at other more
hopeful points. The province of the
government in this important undertake
ing should be to ascertain the areas of
water bearing formations which may
subsequently be pierced by private or
state enterprise. Between the Arkansas
and South Platte Rivers, near the noun
tains, DR.. White thinks, there are two
water bearing strata, one of which can
be reached by boring not less than two
thousand feet deep and the other about
seven hundred feet deeper. While wells
of this kind cannot suffice for agricul-
tural purposes, this writer shows that
they would afford a good supply for wa
tering large herds of cattle, besides sup
plying the wants of hamlet of people.
1t has been demonstrated in Los Angeles
and San Bernardino Counties, CAL, that
an artesian well two hundred feet deep
will discharge water enough to irrigate
one hundred acres of land. On the
great plains, rising five thousand feet
above the sea, the cost of boring to the
great depths of the water bearing forma-
tions is twelve or fifteen times as much
as in California. But if the yield of
wells sunk on the plains were only one
fourth as large as that of the Los An
geles wells, the country around would
be habltable and adapted for grazing
purposes. For the government to at
tempt to bore artesian wells wherever
settlers on the plains ask for them would
be foolish waste of money. But as
both DIR. White and other authorities on
the geology of the plains east of the
Rocky Mountains have shown that
high degree of probability exists that ar
tesian wells can be obtained capable of
meeting the wants of men and cattle in
this desert, the experimental borings
ought to be continued, especially in the
eastern part of the dry platesu where
water may be reached at less depth.

A Busy Old Man,

The Emperor of Germany, in spite of
his 86 years, leads remarkably active
life. While undergoing his water-cure
at Ems, he drank, about s o'clock in the
morning, his first glass of Kranchen,
and, with the assistance of q light cane,
took stroll through the park. During
his walk his majesty chatted with the
ladies, the superior officers, the high
functionaries, or the little children
whom he happened to meet. As the
emperor took Kesselbrunner water as
we'll as those of Kranchen, the prome-
made lasted until 10 o'clock, when he re-
turned to his modest apartments at the
Curhaus for breakfast. The afternoons
were given up to business, for every day
brought messengers with enormous dis
patches from Berlin. Then the reports
Of Gen. Albedyll, Councillor Wilmosh,
or NJ. de Bulow were gone into. At 4
o'clock dinner was served, to which the
principal members Of the emperor 'ssuite
and the distinguished persons who had
been received during the day were in.
vited. After dinner there. was long
drive. Towards 8 O'Clock the old man re-
turned to the town and visited the thea
ter, often on foot. Long into the night
light might have been seen at the lit
tie window Of his room, where he cit up
working long after everybody else had
gone 10 bed. .r.ssss>:555 81 55s -.
