A WONDERFUL deposit Of whole trees

AS EXPLAINING how entirely New York

The KING of Bavaria has for six years

the walls are lined to the minutest detail
every resource of art has been taxed.
The palace is not visible from any road,

An Actresses Gift to the Continental
l.

The Continental Guards gave their Sec
Ond exhibition of tableauX last night at
the Highland House, during which oc-
Cured the flag presentation by Miss
Minnie Madden, who was costumed as
"Moll Pitcher" Last season Minnie
Maddern was adopted as the ward of the
Guards, she being native of the Cres-
cent City. During her engagement in
their city she received marked attention,
and was the recipient OF many acts OF
kindness at the hands of the Contlnentals.
Last night she endeavored to repay IN
part the Indebtedness, and during the
tableauX she presented the command an
elegant American banner OF silk, eXquls-
itely made. Stepping to the front OF the
Continentals, who were drawn up at
parade rest, she said:
"Gentlemen of the Coptinentals: L can
say in all truthfulness that the happlest
moments of my life were spent last year
in my native city, New Orleans. The
Continentals opened their hearts to me,
and can never forget the innumerable
acts of kindness, and as small return
for your goodness to me, [ desire to pre-
sent you this banner. Take it, and with
it a heart overlooking with love for you
all, and the heartfelt thanks of your
daughter"
Captain Thiel received the colors, and
thanked the lady heartily for the gift,
coming, as it did, from the beloved child
of the company. Handing the standard
over to Color Sergeant Hood, the veteran
of three wars, he told him to guard the
treasure as If it was his life. The hearlt-
est applause followed

In the olden days it was customary 10
sheer at Yankee thrift and economy. Inc
Northerner was credited with degree OF
parsimony that he really did not possess,
while the Southerner was regarded as
prize to be bled pretty much as the
wealthy American of to-day is looked
upon by the Parisians. The almighty
dollar was phrase, which when utter
ed inevitably suggested the Yankee. The
past two decades, however, have robbed
the expression of much of its suggestive
ness. since the people Of this section have
been learning in the hard scnool
of experience the lesson of econo-
nv. The lesson, however, is far from
being mastered. Older heads have caught
its meaning, but the younger generation
have need of much study and sacrifice
before they can appreciate it fully.
There can be no doubt that any man
willing to work can make competency
in this favored section of our country, but
those who are ready to sacrifice present
ease for future affluence will be the guld-
ing spirits in the social life of the South
i'm the next two decades. Our people

of the value of money. The basis of the
average fortune is econOmy-the addition
to surplus capital which from year
to year grow into the ac-
cumulated store, that affords one
reliance in declining years. But while
the progress of the people of the South in
this direction is not as marked as it should
be, it is nevertheless perceptibly greater
from year to year.
The true mission of the South is to grow
rich. for with wealth will come power
and the return of her olden influence upon
Federal affairs. Economy should be the
watchword of every Southerner from this
time forth. Not the parsimOny that would
rob our people of those hOspitable traits
that have ever marked them, but wise
saving of capital, which, if general, would
establish the prosperity of the South
upon a basis at once sound and perma-

THE TELEGRAPH WIRES.
Their EXTENT and Control.


The Western Union Company operates
425, 900 miles of wire, and other companies
about 10000. There are only about II, OO0
miles of really private wires IN the United
States, less than 1000 miles of which
are in the Southern States. The
annual cost of leasing a private
wire is from $50 to $40a mile. The varia-
ton in price arises from the fact that
in some cases the wires are quad
ruplexed, so that the same wire is used by
different private persons, each sending
messages at will without the knowledge or
interference of the other. The facilities
of the large telegraph companies for keep
ing lines in good order have gradually
concentrated the business in their
hands, so that by far the largest
mileage of private wires, so-called,. is
in the hands of the Western Union
Telegraph Company. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company lease a number
of private wires. In all cases the opera
tors of the private lines leased from the
companies are under the control of the
latter, although paid by the lessees. The
longest private wire in use is from New
Y ork to Chicago. Certain periods OF the
day or night are fixed during which alone
the wire may be used. Operators are fur
nished by the telegraph company.

The Farmer and the Spectator.

The price of the speculative wheat and
the spectral hog of the Board fix those of
the real wheat and the actual hog of the
field. The negro planter of Georgia who
raises his bale and a-half must sell it for
what the Cotton Exchanges say is worth.
The man who works in the ground must
take the price fixed for him by the man
who ''wOrks in the air. The Exchanges
are well called 1.-THE creameries of the
world of labor" And these speculations
are of different sort from those of the
New York Stock Exchange, whose an
nual transactions are nearly three times
the taxable valuation of all the personal
property in the United States.

General Swain is the Judge Advocate

Garfield, and he has an opinion, which he

position. Swain says he doesn't believe
Garfield ever offered Dorsey a Cabinet
position. Garfield held the opinion, so
Swain says, that Dorsey had "A screw

stance the chances are that Swain is right.
Swain further says that if Garfield ever
offered Dorsey a Cabinet position Dorsey

Dorsey says he doesn't destroy letters.

There is talk about dividing surplus
revenue among the States and make
weight resolution favOring such scheme
was passed at the Harrisburg Republican
convention. A question of the same kind
was considered by the agents of the life
insurance companies of this country
some years ago. A great deal of inge-
nuity was exhibited in plans to show
sHOw the surplus on the premiums
should be distributed" The whole mat
ter, however, was brought to sudden
standstlll by a matter-Of-fact man un-
learned in the subtleties of life insurance
lore, who suggested that the best way to
distribute the excess on premiums was
not to collect it. This may be submitted
as reply to the Harrisburg proposition.

The New York Times has discovered
that there is new kind of ''sOlid SOUTH"
Of the "a replies favoring Mr.. Arthur as
the next Republican Presidential candi-
date, received by the Times in answer to
its June inquiries, IS were from the South,
or. leaving out Delaware, Maryland and
Missouri, b. The Times we'll says that the
South is solid for the administration candi-
date. whoever he may be. IfNlr. Arthur is
candidate he can rely with considerable
certainty upon having 3O6 votes in the
next national convention. The South is
solid for Mr.. Arthur, or for anybody Mr..
Arthur may name. This sOlidity has been
obtained at the expense of the party.
There is no Republican party in the South,
and there is not any likelihood that there
will be one as long as the present way Of
managing matters is adhered to. The
Republican leaders In the various South
ern States do not want any Republican
party in the South.
They want the mere nucleus of party.
They want to control all the patronage.
If there was party of power with men of
strength and recognized social influence
at the head of it, there would have to be
a division of patronage. In fact, 1t is
probable that the present managers would
be given a vacation. AS matters now
stand. however, the prominent leading
Republicans of the various States in the
South fill the Federal offices to suit
themselves, and vote the delegates from
their respective States for whoever they
please. This may be satisfactory to them,
but it is death to the party. The South
may appear in the Republican National
Convention solid for Mr.. Arthur, but she
will appear in the electoral college solid
for the Democratic candidate. If the Re
publicans hope to elect the next Presi-
dent they ought to pay less attention to
making the delegate vote solid and more
to breaking the sOlidity of the electoral
