We understand Asa Faulkner, Esq,
and others will soon make application
for charter for a large manufacturing
establishment to be erected as soon as
practicable on Mr.. Faulkner's splendid
mill site at the falls of Caney Fork
river, near Rock Island. This is one
Of the finest water powers in the South,
sufficient to operate any amount of
machinery. We understand also that
our County Court, in order to encour-
age Mr.. Faulkner and Others to start
and build up this important enterprise,
have agreed to exempt the same from
taxation for county and school purposes
for five years. This is certainly no
more than they should have done.
Such enterprises should be encouraged
in every legitimate way possible.
Manufacturing establishments are of
great advantage to counties as well as
communities, and should receive every
encouragement. We see from an arti-
Gle in the Baltimore Manufacturers
Record" that there has been a large in
crease in the cotton mills in South Car
olina, Georgia, and other Southern
States, much Of which is due to home
protection and home encouragement.
We may induce foreign capitalists ia
invest in our manufacturing interests,
but we must show that we are willing
to protect and encourage them by
reasonable exemptions from taxation
at least until they are fully established
and on a paying basis.

EARTHQUAKES and Paeodas.

A notable instance of the japanese
understanding of the conditions under
which they exist occurs in the manner
of giving security to pagodas. Pagodas
are often of great height, yet many
have existed for seven hundred years,
and have withstood successfully the
many vibrations of background, which
must have inevitably achieved their
overthrow had they been erections of
stone or brick. When l first assembled
pagoda, I was struck with the
amount of timber employed in its con-
struction and I could not help feel
ing that the material here wasted was
even absurdly excessive But what
offended my feelings most was the
presence of an enormous log of wood
in the centre of the structure, which
ascends from its base to it's apex. AT
the top this mass of timber was nearly
two feet in diameter, and lower down
a log equally large was bolted to each
of the four sides of this central mass.
l was so surprised with this waste of
timber that / called the attention of
my friend Sakata to the matter and
especially denounced the use of the
centre block. To my establishment,
he told me that the structure must be
strong to support the vast central
mass. In my ignorance l replied that
the centre part was not supported by
the sides. but upon reaching the top l
found this monstrous central mass
suspended, like the clapper of bell
and when l had descended 1 could, by
lying on the ground, see that there was
an inch of space intervening between
it and the earth which formed the floor
of the pagoda. The pagoda is to
Buddhist temple what spire is to
Christian church and by it's clever
construction it is enabled to retain its
vertical position even during the con-
tinuance of earthquake shocks, for by
the swinging of this vast pendulum
the centre of gravity is kept within the
base. | now understood the reason
for that lavish use of timber which l
had so rashly pronounced to be use
less and see that there is method
in Japanese construction which is
worthy of high appreciation. In the
absence of any other instance, the en-
ployment of this scientific method of
keeping the padoga upright shows how
carefully the Japanese have thought
out the requirements to be met

Market Day in Normandy.

In Normany you find almost in it's
pristine vigor that ancient institution
the district fair, and market day wakes
into perfect Babel the sleepiest of
little towns. From the market you
gain an excellent idea of the production
of the canton, and may form a pretty
fair estimate of the extent of it's re-
sources, the quality of it's cereals, its
dairy produce, and it's live stock, and
may even gather much of the character
and peculiarities of the people, whose
customs often differ materially even
from those of their not very remote
neighbors. But to see a market prop
erly it is necessary to arrive overnight
at your destination, and waving all
idea of sleep,to secure aroom overlook
ing the Grand Place.
From an eally hour in the evening
and all through the night, arrive the
buyers and sellers in con .inuous
stream, so that by early dawn thelittle
town is filed to overlooking. Open
carts, tilted wagons, long vehicles of
mysterious build, drawn by huge Nor
man horses, deposit merchandise of
every description, and at the first streak
of daylight business opens, it may be,
with the sale of calves, to be followed
consecutively by that of poultry, pigs,
grain, hay, cattle, butter and vegeta-
bles; and these various markets are
held not merely in the halls and in
two or three of the principle squares,
but in every street ndalley, while later
in the day the aspect is that of regu-
lar fair. Booths of all kinds in increas-
ing numbers spring up like mushrooms,
red umbrella of Brobdingnag proper
tions doing duty for tent; and serious
business being over, one sees the places
lately consecrated to bales of merchan-
disc overspread with toys and chiffons
of all sorts, even to smart bonnets and
caps of latest provincial fashion.
Some productions will naturally be
always found, while the absence or
presence of others will be determined
by the prevailing culture of the dis
trict, fruit and vegetables, for in
stance, being splendid in some places,
whilst in others they scarcely approach
mediocrity. Pears are often immense,
and so are cabbages, while it is not at
all uncommon to see raids girls, which
the peasantry eat so largely, weighing
from two to three pounds each.

There were number of arrests here on
Friday and Saturday under the crimes act.
A number of the persons arrested had arms
in their possession. They are principally of
the artisan class. 1t is positively stated that
one of the prisoners is a member of the mu-
uicipality, who was arrested at midnight at
his own residence, and conveyed to the Col
iege street station under strong escort.
The arrests were made in consequence of
'ecret information received last week that
number of persons belonging to a secret So
riety had held a special meeting in Dublin,
and resolved to assassinate certain of the
more active members of the Dublin police
force. Two of the consplraters turned ap
provers. The member of the municipality
arrested is Mr.. Carey, well-known nation

ion party.
