OUR COUNTRY.
tts Wonderful Growth i'm Material
Wealth..

An English writer, Mr.. M. G. Mulhall,
contributes to a New York publication
an interesting article on the progress of
material wealth in the United States.
he regards our advance as something
marvellous, and says there is nothing
like it in the history of mankind. As
'afsn and money are two of the principal
fausors in the makeup of national
power, We present the following table to
show the growing significance of those
factors in this country.

He furnishes the figures to show that
our manufactures have increased five
fold since 1850. The most remarkable
increase has been in the manufactures
of iron and cotton. The former has in
creased from 1 $50, 600 to 4, ,16O, 900 tons
in ten years, while in the latter the con-
sumption of raw fiber has risen from
$50, 600, 600 to 641, 900, 600 pounds THAT
is from IA to Is pounds per inhabitant.

Mr.. Mulhal holds that our agriculture,
more than anything else, shows the un-
precedented rise of industry in the
United States in one single generation.
He points out that, while the population
has only trebled since 1910, the growth
of agricultural interests has been FIVE
fold, and, whether we regard the value of
crops or Of cattle, the per capita is about
double what it was forty years ago. The
following is a comparison between 1910
and 1 900

doubled since 1860, and multiplied ten

He holds that the national debt should
not be deducted from the aggregate of
wealth since most of the debt is held in
the United States, and the same may be
said of most of our other local debts.
He thinks that European emigration to
this country has tended to the increase
of the public wealth, but at the same
time the rapid increase of population has
served to keep down the ratio of wealth
per inhabitant, and this is particularly
observable III the last decade. He says
that the growth of wealth in the decade
Just ended is sufficient to buy up the
whole Austrian empire, or pay for the
aggregate value of Italy, Holland and
Belgium. Notwithstanding this fact the
average per capita of wealth is less in the
United States than in Great Britain or
France, and Mr.. Mulhall furnishes the
following in proof of this fact:

AS regards the items whicA make up
our wealth, he says that it is easy to
trace their growth. Referring TO the
advance of railways he points ous that
since 1870 their value increased at the
rate of nearly 81, 600, 900 day, Sundays
excepted. The following table shows the
increase of mileage and capital outlay
from 1850 to 1881, inclusive

A Queer Community.

Nicodemus colony, in Kansas, is a
prosperous place, although the resi-
dents thereof get along without gold,
silver or greenbacks. 1t contains 365
homes, and is located in Graham
County, the district being known as
Solomon's Valley. Two churches are
there, one public school, one sub
scription school, a post office and sew
eral stores. The people raise corn,
pumpkins and vegetables, and meet
every Saturday night and exchange
commodities. They give vegetables
and other productions for drugs,
clothing and so on, and actually live
without money. For three years af-
ter the colony started there was not
a team in it, and the men worked en-
tirely with picks and spades. The
colonists were of the worst class of
negroes from Kentucky. Many of
them went in order to live easily off
the community Now they are said
to be transformed into hard working
farmers. Nicodemus has a regular
township government, the principal
officer being a township trustee, who
is negro.

Trading Without Money.

Yesterday afternoon an Appeal re-
porter met j. w. Niles, an intelligent
colored man, who for several years
has been engaged in the work of
establishing negro colonies. From
him the reporter obtained an interest
ing account of the Nicodemus colony
in Kansas. He said: Nicodemus
contains some 365 homes, and is To-
Gated in Graham county, the district
being known as Solomon's valley
They have two churches there, one
public school, a post Office and several
stores"
What do they do for money!"
"Well, they raise corn, pumpkins
and vegetables and meet every Satur-
day night and exchange commodities.
They give vegetables and other pro.
ductions for drugs, clothing and so
on l never knew before that men
could live without money. For three
years after the colony started there
was not team in it, and the men
worked entirely with picks and
spades. The colonists were of the
worst class of negroes from Kentucky.
Many of them went to live easily off
the community, Now they are trans
formed into Woodworking farmers,
thus showing, as | have always
claimed, that there was something to
be made even out of the lowest

Pat Cleburne.

Here is a touching and charac-
teristic story told of tins brave, he
roic and lamented soldier by cor
respondent of the Courier-Jour-
nal:
The revival of the history of
Hoods Tennessee campaign recalls
a circumstance OF the bloodiest bat
tie, considering time and numbers
of the engagement, of the war. The
morning aftel Franklin 1 came
upon the body of Gen. Pat Cle>
bnrne, among others that had been
removed to our temporary hospi-
tails. There was a large. red silk
handkerchief tied loosely about the
neck, and his feet bare to the socks.
Remarking on the shame of the
thing, that a Confederate soldier
should have thus robbed the dead
body of glorious old Pat Cleburne,
an officer standing by, whom [ took
to be of the dead soldiers staff, re-
piled that the body had not been
molested, He related that on the
previous afternoon. a few minutes
before we were called into line of
battle, General Clcbnrne had come
upon one of his command, limping
along the line, his bare feet caught
by the sharp rocks. The brave
General at once dismounted, and,
against the protests of the foot-sore
private and hero, stripped the
boots from his feet and made the
soldier put them OH his own. L
was by such acts as these that Gen
eyal Clebure endeared himself to
his command and thus it happen
ed that he Went into the bloody
charge at Franklin in his sock feet,
and gallantIy leading the charge,
fell in front of his columns. As he
lay there, cold IN death, with this
evidence of heroic aalf abnegation,
| thought | never looked upon a
figure of more heroic mold, and
instinctively recalled the lines Of
Bulwer:

Hours end Minutes.

Why is one hour divided into
sixty minutes, and each minute
again into sixty seconds 2 Why
not divide our time as we do our
money. by tens, counting ten, or
fifty, or one hundred minutes to an
hour! This question was asked by
an intelligent.boy few days since,
and the answer given him may
both interest and instruct other
young people. The answer is this.
We have sixty divisions on the di-
ais of our clocks and watches, be-
cause the old Greek astronomer,
Hippalchus, who lived in the sec
ond century, before Christ, accept
ed the Babylonian system of reck-
oning time, that system being sexi-
gesimaI The Babylonlans were
acquainted with the decimal sys-
tenn; but for common and practi-
cal purposes, counted by sossi and
s1tr1, the sossos representing sixty,
and the sa20s sixty times sixty, or
thirty-six hundred. From Hippar-
chus, that mode of reckoning found
its way into the works of Ptolemy,
about $50 A. d., and thence was
carried down the stream of science
and civilization, and found the way
to dial plates Of our clocks and
watches.
