AN OLD SEA CAPTAIN DEAD.
"reminiscences OF Robert Creighton a
Hero Who Saved Many Lives.
From the New York Herald

Hero Who Saved Many Lives.
From the New York Herald.
The death is announced at Antwerp of
Captain Robert Creighton, marine super
intendent of the Red Star Line of
steamers plying between Philadelphia,
New York and Antwrep. The deceased,
who was sixty-one years of age, was for
number of years employed in Liverpool
where he was born, and where he was
held in the highest respect. He was APP
pointed marine superintendent of the
Red Star Line about ten years ago. Cap
tam Creighton will, perhaps, be best re.
membered by his noble conduct in rescu-
ing several hundred United States troops
from watery grave, standing by the
san Francisco transport for more than
week in a most terrific gale. No doubt
here are some living yet who will re-
meml or his signal; 81 will stand by
your" For his conduct on that occasion,
he received vote of thanks from Con-
gress, and in addition q considerable
sum OF money. He was feted, too, by
nearly all the large towns. One of
these receptions was held at the old
Broadway Theater in this city, when he
received a welcome that made the walls
tremble. 1t emanated from the heart,
and the fayorite song of the minstrel of
the day ended with an enconium to
Captain Creighton, of the good ship
Three Bells. 1t ran:
The good ship Thr ee Bells, Three Bells
The good ship Three Bells;
God bless the crew
And the captain true,
That manned he good Three Bells.
No Britt 4 sailor has been 80 lionized
in America either before or since, and
the news of his death connot fail to be
received with feelings of deep regret.
He was borne to his grave in manner
worthy Of a brave sailor, on the Shout
ders of the quartermasters of the
steamers Belgenlana and Switzerland
with the Belgian, American and British
flags covering as brave heart as ever
throbbed, followed by all the officers of
the port in uniforms.

DR.. S. l. Briuai says: "As arule physici-
ans do not by professional methods build up
the female constitution, while they seldom
cure the disease to which it is always liable in
our variable climate and under our imperfect
civilization. Special remedies are often re-
CURED to restore organic harmony and
strengthen the enfeebled powers of woman

persons outside of the profession. Among the
very best of these remedies assign prom

The SnnfiOMar.

The late aesthetic craze may lead to
some good results, as regards this sun
admirer. 1t is only a few years since
we found a substitute in the cotton seed
Of the south for linseed oil. AS the de-
1and for the southern seeds constantly
rowing and we are dependent upon the
south for our supply, 1T follows, that in
creased prices are imminent in the near
future. 1t rlay seem trifle odd to as
sert that in the sunhower we have a
plant equally as serviceable. Let us
look at it 1t can be grown in any Local
ton that Indian corn flonrishes. 1t will
yield more seed than corn, and the
uses it can be put to are more varied.
In the west its stalks have been success
fully used as fuel. In the east its leaves
have been mixed with tobacco and man
utactured into cigars, and it is claimed
that the flavor of the weed has been inn
proved thereby, certainly it renders it
less harmful. Stock relish the leaves
and eat the seed when ground. Every
one knows the affection chickens evince
for it. One bushel of seed will yield a
gallon of oil scarcely inferior TO the best
olive, in fact the olive OIL ofcommerce is
now largely adulterated with it. 1t can
be used as a substitute for linseed or cot
tonseed meal for any purpose they are
applied to. In feeding stock, however,
experience has proved that the best re-
suits are obtained where it is mixed with
other meals. More can still be said OF
it, the flowers of the sunhower makes
a good dye, and the busy bee seeks
them for their honey and wax. A good
soap can be made from the oil, the
stalks produce fine fibre that is utiliz-
ed by working1n silk. tits easily grown,
an important consideration in its favor.
With this plant at our command the cot
tonseed and oil of the South can be
kept within reasonable price in the fu-
ture, provided the farmers utilize this
plant. The farming community are slow
in accepting new ideas, and it is well
that they are, to a certain degree, or
they would be led away by many err
roneous theories. In advocating the
claims of this plant we do not claim to
have discovered anything new, but the
line of our thought is that 1t is a good
thing to test

Manufacturing in the South.

South Carolina has taken new
parture. Instead Of continuing a
hot bed of secession, that State prom,
,ses to become one Of the leading
manufacturing States in the Union.
The recent growth of manufacturing
industry in that commonwealth is
probably without parallel IN the in.
duatrial history of the country. Lou
isiana and Alabama have made rapid
strides forward during the past few
years, but South Carolina is bearing
off the palm. Twenty.seven cotton
mills are reported to be in operation,
with an aggregate capital Of nearly
FIVE millions Of dollars. Between
four thousand and FIVE thousand
hands are employed in these mills,
which consume nearly three miilions
Of pounds Of cotton annually. The
sum paid for labor last year was with.
in fraction Of eight hundred thou
sand dollars. There were only four
teen mills in operation in 1880, while
now there are nearly twice that num-
Der, and at the last session of the
Legislature, nine more were charter
