Ben Hill and Yancey.

The death of Senator Ben Hill is re-
viving the gossip touching his trouble
with Yancey in the days of the conted-
eracy. Recently DIR. Hamilton, q sur
geon in the confederate army, denied
that Hill ever threw an inkstand at
Yancey. A correspondent in the Crstsc
contradicts Hamilton. He says:
Now, the throwing of the inkstand
by Hill at Yancey took place in open
senate, whereas the personal collision
occurred in secret (executive) session
of the body, and the injury was SO Sc
we're that Yancey was carried from the
senate chamber with the blood stream
ing from his mouth and his body with
ing in agony. 1 saw yesterday letter
written by Mr.. Hill in 1856, while he
was imprisoned in Fort Lafayette, IN
which Hill says he taught Yancey
lesson An account of the fracas was
also published in the Nashville Banner
Just before the war. 1 also have 1t on
good authority that Mr.. Hill admitted
he had hurt Yancey badly, and added
that if he had killed YanceY and one
other man before the war, it would have
been lar better for the country The
'one other man probably referred to
Tombs. Hill once had difficulty with
Stephens, in 1857, in the know-nothing
in Georgia, and Little Aleck
sent Ben a challenge. The latter re-
piled: L decline your challenge, for
the reason that I have family to sup
port and a soul to save. You have

What Women Earn.

There are few occupations open TO
women by which they can earn large
salaries. Teachers are the best PAID
workers, receiving from $500 to S9oo
wear. But, as a rule, women receive
from 90 to 80 per cent. less than men
for the same or equivalent service
Good sales-women for example, get
from Sc to $40 per week. Some few
who have served long time receive
S12. and occasionally asalary as high as
$15 is paid but the latter are very ex-
ceptional cases. Good female cashiers
obtain. on the average, little more
than good saleswomen. But$l9 week
is q large stipend for cashier and IL
REQUIRES guaranteed ability, the best
of references, and sometimes good So
curity, to obtain such position. The
only employment in which as high MS
500 week is ever paid to woman APP
pears to be in the Office of book
keeper, and here the average OF wages
Is far below $500 year. The majority
of good book keepers get from STU to
$12 per week, and many women well
trained in the business think themselves
fortunate if they obtain So. The sew
ing girls employed by large firms dur
the busy season, and who are engaged
in the making of dresses, cloaks,
underwear, etc, seldom receive more
then IS cents or 81 per day, and even
then are obliged to remain idle for some
months during the year. A favored
few employed on custom work or
intrusted with the care of small depart
ments, earn from SO to $40 weekly
Tailoresses are paid at about the same
rate. Skilled compositors find no diff
Guilty in earning all the way from % to
$14 per week, though the latter stipend
is exceptionally good, and is paid in
very few offices. This class of workwo-
men, however, has multiplied so greatly
during the past ten years that many are
unable to get employment from one
years end to the other. In the position
of housekeeper, 1000 a year is occasion
ally paid to an experienced woman,
trustworthy and capable of assuming the
entire management of first-class es'
Enlistment; but such instances are very
exceptional, and can only be command
ed by experienced women, well trained
theoretically. On piece-work in artl-
fetal flower manufacture and occupa-
tons approximsting to the artistic; Ills
stated that wages as high as $lo are
occasionally earned by frst-class hands;
but in ordinary industries, from IS to
S12 per week represents the average
earnings of a woman in occupations re-
quiring some training, and from 80 to So
is a common wage in the lower indus
trial walks.

Stock Interests in Texas.

Five years since, when I came upon
the confines of the Pan Handle, l
found men whose stocks, and ranches
could have been purchased at from ST.
600 to $4,000. These same parties are
now owners of ranches and herds that
can be cashed at from $4,000 to $780,
600. You ask what has brought about
the change. The answer is to be found
in the increase of stock, the enhanced
value of both ranches and cattle. Then
stocks of breeding cattle could be had
at from So to S. per head, and ranches
at from ST. 600 to $4,000 each-now the
former are worth from 500 to $25 per
bead and the latter from $4,000 to
$4,000. Then there was no system,

Bremen, with the view OF ascertaining
the proportions of nicotine and other
poisonous substances in the smoke OF
cigars. His paper. in Dingler's roy,
techn isches Journal, gives useiui
resume of the work Of previous OBJ
servers. He specifies, as strongly
poisonous constituents, carbonic OXIDE
sulphureted hydrogen, prussic acid'
picoline bases, and nicotine. The first
three occur, however, in such small
proportion, and their volatility is 80
great, that their share in the action OF
tobacco smoke on the system may DO
neglected. Thepicoline bases, too' are
present in comparatively small quantity
50 that the poisonous character OF the
smoke may be almost exclusively attr-
buted to the large proportion OF nico-
tine psesent. Only a small part OF the
nicotine in cigar is destroyed by the
process of smoking, and a relatively
large portion passes off with the smoke
The proportion Of nicotine in the smoke
depends, of course, essentially on the
kind of tobacco but the relative amount
of nicotine which passes from a cigar
into smoke depend chiefly on how far
the cigar has been smoked, as the moo
tine content of the unsmoked part OF q
cigar is in inverse ratio to the size OF
this part. e., more nicotine the short
er the part. Evidently, in burning
cigar, the slowly advancing zone OF
glow drives before it the distillable
matters, so that in the unburnt portion
a constant accumulation of these take
place. II would appear that IN the
case of cigars that are poor In, nlcotine
more of this substance relatively passes
into smoke than in the case OF cigars
with much nicotine; also that NICOTINE
Notwithstanding its high boiling point,
has remarkable volatility. -Scaeaty'c

A Relic of the Pre-RevOIutiOnary Times
of the State OF Georgia.

There is very fine specimen of the
revolutionary period in the hands OF
Mr.. o. B. Clark of this city. The GER
tifcate, which is for the sum of $40,
bears date of 1776. It is printed upon
the finest parchment, and though slight
ly worn, is in an elegant state of pre-
fervation. Is chiefly remarkable for
the absense of all Unnecessary marks,
letters or language and all the print is
in plain black letters, the only decora-
ton being the seal of the state of
Georgia, where it was evidently issued,
and the capital scrip letters in which
tho name of that state is spelt at either
end of the paper. Between these words,
and above the pine tree of the seal is
the following: "This certificate emit
ties the bearer to ten Spanish milled
dollars or the value thereof, according
to resolution of congress" The way in
which the relic came into the posses
sion of the present owner was quite
singular. MI. Clark, now superintend-
emit of the freight department of the
Adams Express company, of this city,
was formerly messenger for this same
company in 1879, while the train stood
at New Corners town, Ohio, farmer
came aboard and exhibited the note to
the passengers. He said that be had
found it among the old documents
belonging to bis father. Mr.. Adams
offered him 80 cents for it and to his
surprise the stranger unhesitatingly
accepted the bargain. The money is
now supposed to be worth Inuch more
than its face value.-St Louis Post

Texas Sugar Industry.

Last week before the tariff commits
sion. which is now in session at Long
Branch. a communication was read
from Mr.. T. w. House, of Houston,
Texas, in reference to the production
Of sugar by that state. 1t states that
large area of land there is extremely
well adapted to the growth OF sugar
cane; that the lands are never over
flowed; that cane "ratoons" well for
three or four years, and that the chief
area of production at present is on the
Brazos river, where the crop in 1881
was about 100000 pounds. A district
of 600 miles long by 7 miles wide, or
some 100000 acres, on the Brazos, is
peculiarly adapted to sugar production.
Also another district on the Colorado
river, which in 1880 produced about
1,25O,OO0 pounds. These two districts
are said to be capable of producing
half the quantity of sugar consumed IN
the United States, if that industry
were only sufficiently protected. Any
reduction of the duties on low grades
OF sugar would infict incalculable in
