that the dust of u cities is q serious

he says, ..that this dried and pulverized
dirt and filth of our streets, is derived
from all kinds Of refuse matter, its dan
gerous qualities may be suspected if
they are not clearly obvious. Conveyed
by the winds, it is diffused everywhere,
and settles or adheres to everything

ANNA, ILL.,, Sept. 10.-At about 10
o'clock last night the jury in the Sam
Hazel murder trial rendered their YER
dict, after being out some five hours,
and the brutal child-murderer was SEN
fenced by Judge ID. M. Browning to the
penitentiary for n~inety-nine years. The
trial occupied a week of the Circuit
Courts time at Jonesboro, and much
interest was manifested in it by people
of all classes. 1t was clearly proven
that Hazel whipped the child unmerci-
fully with a cowhide riding-whip, and
then kicked the little 5-year-old inno-
cent from Don to room until she was
dead. He held back all who attempted
to interfere by presenting a revolver at
them. The Sheriff, as soon as the SEN
tence was delivered, Immediately re-
moved the prisoner to Chester Prison,
fearing mob violence.

A Famous Place of One House.

Charlottesville is a desolate clearing
on the southern edge of the wilderness.
Time was when q hundred Virginians of
the first families clinked glasses in the
long dining-hal of the hostelry, and
many day did Jefferson, Madison and
those who came after take noontide rest
under the surrounding elms. But the
planks of the plank-road are gone.
Coaches and four no longer shake dust
from the shallow ruts of the pike, and
lovers no longer seek the crossroads
tavern as the halfway to Gretna Green.
In the old days the Chancellor House
was q massive brick building, shaped
like a squat t. Around it on every side
we're level fields that stretched for a
quarter of o mile or more, while three
important stage roads came together in
front Of the yard. Now only one-third
of the building-the northern end
stands, and even that had TO be re-erect-
ed after battle, when fire left nothing
but bare walls, shot shattered and bull
let-pierced. From the northern end OF
this poor remnant of the ruined inn
stick out five pieces of shrapnel-bolts
that, rs Mr.. Oliver fears, may yet play
rhe mischief. Above these grim things
is a ragged rent IN the gable end near
the root, showing where shells knocked
for admission as they paused in their
screaming flight eighteen years ago.
The porch pillar, near which Hooker
had the misfortune to stand when it
was shattered by round shot, was de-
stroyed by the fire, and in the places of
the pillars are wooden columns freshly
painted and without scratch. In the
yard the visitor sees the outlines of the
old house marked by shrubs, weeds and
stray bricks, while dozen sweet holly
hooks growing near the porch remain as
sentinels of garden beauty long since
gone, Anonymous.

American SILK.

Perhaps the craze which most frequent
ly agitates the agricultural community is
that of producing silk for home manu-
facture. There is no difficulty in breed
ing and rearing silkworms if one has
time, patience and mulberry trees at
command, but there is no market for
the cocoons, the manufacturer wanting
reeled silk-not cocoons. The manufac-
ture of silk thread, Mr.. Wyckoff tells
us, though it has now outgrown foreign
competition, was long time in the
wilderness" American housewives had
prejudice in favor of Italian sewing
silk, and Massachusetts, manufacturers
had to humor them by affecting foreign
packages and wrappers, and commanding
Italian trade names. The sewing
machine has completely revolutionized
the business and brought about the in
vention of machine twist. American
sewing silk has an extremely high stan
dard of purity, a fact which has naturally
helped to drive ont English goods, which,
by the addition Of dye, are made to
yield from eighteen to twenty FIVE ounces
for each pound of raw silk.
Thousands of cords of white birch from
Maine are annually converted into spools,
and many English makers come to the
United States for these little articles,
which an ingenious machine centres
and prints-printing on the wood is
preferred to labelling-at the rate Of
/ 100 a minute. The cabinet given by
manufacturers to new customers with

/ fifty dollar cabinet is nothing out of the
way, and at times their value will reach
$500 or $3.50. In dress goods, plain
black fabrics are the hardest to make, as
every defect in them is perceptible, and
until very recent period their success
/ full manufacture was scarcely expected
in the United States, principally on ac-
1 count of the eostliness of the skilled
labor required.
I Now nearly third of the plain silks
are made here and the industry is making
steady progress, thanks especially to the
cure given to the quality of the article,
while European manufacturers are only
too apt to load theirs with dye. sim
pie test is To burn a small quantity of
. OF the threads pure silk will immedi-
ately crisp and 3 ave a pure charcoal /;
heavily dried silk will shoulder and
leave yellow greasy ash. Very few
velvets are manufactured in the United
States, but lie production of figured
dress silks, grenadines, satins and the
like, is large and growing. American
Innings have high reputation, and the
American ingenuity has proved equal to
the task of producing satisfactory and
lasting silk for umbrellas. Silk hand
kerchicfs have come into vague during
the last eight years and especially since
the Centennial Exhibition. The manu-
facture of ribbons began in 1861 as an
experiment. there being a demand for
particular shades which, it was thought,
could be more speedily met by making
than by importing. Now the business
has grown to great proportions. Curl.

SToNEMAN'5 MIL SAGE.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Colusa
Sun, cannot see that General Stoneman
did anything wrong in travelling to Wash
ington on passes, and certainly if the case
were as our contemporary is pleased to
put it, there would be no ground for
criticism of his action in the premises.
But the charge preferred against him is,
not that he travelled to Washington on
passes, but that after having made the trip
without expense TO himself, he claimed
and received mileage from the Government.
The Sun SEEING, curiously enough, to have
altogether overlooked this incident OF the
mileage, and therefore to have wasted
its moralizings upon the rectitude Of travel
ing on passes. General Stoneman is not
thought the worse for doing this, but it is
asserted that an officer who is capable Of
travelling free and then charging the Gov
eminent full mileage for the whole dis.
tance, cannot be very scrupulous or
delicate-minded person. That General
Stoneman did travel to Washington on
passes, and that he did demand and take
full mileage on that occasion, is moreover
not at all a campaign invention, but fact
which there will be no difficulty in de-
monstrating. We should like to know if
the Sun thinks it right for public official
to charge the Government mileage when
he travels on free pass. That is the ques-
ton to which we would direct the atten-
ton of our esteemed contemporary just

ROBSON AND HEWITT.

Robson is becoming a greater scandal
and disgrace to Congress and the Republi-
can party every day. The quarrel between
him and Hewitt was singularly discredita-
Bile to him, if anything can be said to dis
credit man who suffers himself to be
called thief, a liar and a perjurer, with
out resentipg it, because he cannot dis
prove the charges. 1t seems that he had
not the courage to answer Hewitt on the
floor of the House, but that he surrepti-
tiously conveyed into the official report of
his speech cowardly slur upon his oppo-
nent. When openly accused Of this base
act he could only shuttle and equivocate,
and his sneaking attitude left evidently the
very worst impression even upon the men,
bers of his own party. The plain truth is
that Robson ought to have been impeached
for his administration of the Navy, and if
he had been he most certainly would have
meanors. To let SO corrupt man go free
was an outrage, but to send him back to
Congress, and then to give him control
once more of the Navy.he had wrecked and
plundered, was nothing less than crime
against the nation. 1t is perhaps not sur
prising that when such man finds himself
rewarded instead of being punished for his
evil deeds he should wax insolent, but
his audacity is of itself scathing censure
upon those who have supported him and
placed him where he is.
