The New Orleans Waterworks
Company have concluded to try 10
purify the water of the Mississippi,
before they undertake to supply
the city with BogIe Falia water.
A Mr.. Jouet has discovered o sys-
tenn by which he claims that he can
make the mud soup look as clear as
crystal. If he succeeds, It will
only be a cheap imitation, and moth
ing to compare with the pure water
from our river. The only good re-
suit will be to put shekels in the
pocket of the inventor of the Won
derful system. However, if the
people of New Orleans ale willing
to submit to this imposition, they
are not entitled to sympathy, and
we don't propose TO waste any pity
on them-we prefer to save our
tears for some less suspicious occa-
sion.

United States Senator. The can
vass is complicated one. There
are five tickets in the field. First,
the Temperance ticket; second the

CoTToN MANUFACTURING IN THE
SoUTH.-We received, this week, a
copy of the Baltimore journal of
Commerce and Manufacturers
Record" edited by Mr.. r. H. Ed.
monds. I, contains, among other
matterg of interest, an able article
on the subject of cotton manufac-
lures in the South. from which We
CLEAN the following points:
There are now 252 cotton facto-
ries i'll the South, with an actual
cash capital of S50,0nO.O00. Of
this sum, about SlS,00O,OO0 have
been invested since June, 1880.
The saying in transportation alone,
to the Southern mill, is estimated
at 10 Per cent, while the goods
manufactured in the South largely
find II ready market III tho same
section, and second saving in
freight is made. The results of
cotton manufacturing in the South
have been eminently satisfactory.
and the profits thereon so large,
that the near future is destined to
see a marvellous increase in this in
dustry. It has now been fully
demonstrated that the South can
manufacture its own cotton much
more probably than can be done
i'll England or in the North, and
this fact is attracting the attention
of the manufacturing world to such
an extent that there will no longer
be any lack of capital for invest
ment in this industry.

SAVE THE Hay.

A correspondence the Southern
World makes the following sensible
remarks upon the above subject:
The abundant rains of the latter
part of July and August have had
the effee. to produce.ssn abundance
of natural grasses in the corn fields
and other lands that 'were jim early
crops. With the care and at.e9-
ton that was bestowed last year,
the farmers will not, ,only have an
abundant supply of corn, but'.also
hav. Last year there was probably
more hay saved in the extreme
Southern States lin Georgia Gel
tainly) than for mahy years past.
We hope that harvest will be re-
peated this year, and that ttfe far
mers' barns.wjll groan with a su-
perlative plenty. There is nothing
that pays better than to save the
grass that has cost nothing to grow
it. Ii the Northern farmer can.af-
ford to pillow, harrow and seed down
his best lands g grass, that he may
have hey for winter. and spring,
how,much more may the Southern
farmer reap the spontaneous growth
from the fields that have already
yielded heavy crops of corr, or
other grain.
Ala;ost without exception, the
several kinds of grass should be
mown for hay when in fail bloom.
The old tins practice was to pull
hay just before frost, and the result
was tough, woody, fibrous stuff,
that WAC little bettersfor food than
the flost- dead grass of our early
winter fields. The ripeaipgsof the
seed converts the starch and sugar
of the green grass into woodyftihre.
The blade should not be put into
the grass until the morning dew has
disappeared, and before sunset all
that was cat before noon should be
put into small cocks to be spread
out the next morning, after the dew
has sgain dried away. The follow
ing aftsrroon should find it.. secure
inithe barn or haystack. Where
the grass.is very thick and rank. it
may require two days sun to cure
it properly: but it SHOULD be safely
housed % soon as it is dry enough
to keep well.
Crab grass hay is not so good as
crowfoot, and both are inferior to
the best timothy or clover, but if
cut at the proper time and well
handled, they make a hay: that is
much superior to the acreage bay
brought. FROM the West. Indeed, if
would be of decided advantage to
the Southern farmer if his mules
and horses would utterlyirefuse to
eat hay brought from abroad
starre frst-and not much the worse
for the Western f;,rmer, for hay
should be Consumed on the farm
where it is grown.

A "FALsE" ALAHM.-A rather
amusing incident occurred at tie
residence of our young frisnd Mr..
Ed. r. Doyle, about four miles
from Covington, one day last week.
1t appears that while Mrs. Doyle
was sweeping out one of the rooms
she glanced up at the ceiling, when
she plainly saw the teeth of some
one. whom she thought was watch
ing her, through a crevice overhead.
She was very much frightened at
the mysterious apparition, and
visions Of burglars, COLLINS, ETC.,
passed through her mind. She
lost no time in giving the alarm,
and soon Mr.. Doyle was OH the
scens, with his trusty shotgun, and
bid the intruder to come down on:
o that, or he'd blow every tooth in
his body through the top of his
head with a load of buckshot." But
the shining grinders remained mo
tionless, and they began to think
that perhaps he had concealed HIM
self up there and died, with his
teeth over the crack. a cautious
and careful investigation was then
made, which disclosed the fact that
the cause OF alarm was nothing
more than full set of false teeth,
which belonged to a lady who had
formerly owned the place, and who
says she lost them about seven
years ago. They were promptly
returned to her. and now nil is
calm and serene again in the quiet
and happy home Of Mr.. Doyle.

Cov1sGToN HIGH School FOR

"Covington School Association, "
will reopen next Monday, under
the management Of Mr.. W. W.
Dunbracco, a graduate of the 3alti-
more City College. The Associa-
ton, which is composed OF many of
the leading citizens of Coving ION,
desire to make this school a model
one in every respect--a school thai
will reflect credit upon our town
and parish: and where our citizens
can sive their children complete
and liberal education, without the
burdensome expense and question
able policy of sending them to dis
tant localities for that purpose
In order to secure the success of
this worthy enterprise. it is only
Necessary that We should extend to
it liberal patronage. One of the
first and most important duties we
owe to our children is to give them
u good education. This is cbsc-
lutely necessary, il we expect to see
them grow mp to be honored and
useful members Of society. The
services OF a Thoroughly competent
teacher have been secured, and it
is tie intention of the School Asso-
citation to employ an assistant, as
soon as the patronage justihes it.
The High School will be entirely
unsectarian in character. and will
not intsrfere with the tenets or
views of any religious denomina-
ton. 1t asks and should receive
the support of both Catholics and
Protestants, anG we believe it will
be patronized BIZ our citizens cf.,,all
sects. Let US take pride in our
High School, and render all the as
sistance we can to secure its estab-
lishment as a permanent institu-
ton. The tuition fees have been
placed very low, SO as to be within
the reach of all. For further par
ticulars we refer to the advertise

SAVED BY THE RAILING.--Last Sun
day evening, while Mrs. Keller,
wife of Mr.. Chas. Keller, the mer-
chant, was crossing the big bridge
over the Bogue Fulia, in a carriage
with her children, the horse became
frightened at the sight of a lady
approaching from the opposite di.
rection with a large fan il her
hand, and dragged the carriage
with great force against the rail
ing, breaking the shafts and other
wise damaging it. There is no
doubt the carriage, with its \occu-
pants, would have been preeipi-
tated into the river, but Tor the
strong railing recently placed on
the bridge. This was indeed a
narrow escape, and fully demon
strates the wisdom of having cool,
substantial ratings on our public
bridges.

RAILROAD SPECULATION.

Indian Journal.
Work on the extension of the ST.
Louis IL San Francisco railroad is
rapidly progressing. According to
contract 20 miles a month will have
to be completed. The first 20 miles
to be finished March 1st, has been
re-let in small parcels to accelerate
the work, which is being pushed
forward with all possible speed. 1t
is not yet known whether Gould will
build the road through to New Mex
leo, but from the fact that the con-
tractors will have to have thirty
days notice before stopping work, it
is probable that he will. Good veins
of coal have been discovered west of
Vinita and his intention may be to
run the road only to them, but no
one but himself and advisors can
tell to a certainty what will be done.
All the border papers are discuss
ing the question as to whether Jay
Gould will build the st. Louis and
San Francisco railroad through the
Territory or not, but as yet Gould
himself gives no hint as to his inten-
tons. We think that he will, though
it is only a surmise; for according
to the terms of the charter, if the
road is not built inside of one year,
the franchise will go to any other
company that has a mind to take it,
and we do not see how he can afford
to let some other company own so
valuable a charter, especially as an
other road, if built, would be in di-
rect competion with the IRON Noun
tain and Missouri Pacific. Orders
have been given to accelerate the all
along the line to Fort Smith, and
time will tell what will he done from
that point on.
