30 per cent. Of the value of property in
farms. From this it would appear that
the relative productiyeness of capital in
manufacturing and in agriculture is as
II to So, or two to one. This is, of
course, merely special view of the
subject.
Although the average wages paid
and the average profits realized in
manufacturing industries are greater
than the average wages and profits in
agricultural pursuits, yet this is offset
by the fact that the risks and uncer-
tainties attending the former are great
er than those attending the latter. It
is impracticable to institute accurate
comparisons between the wages, the
modes of living, and the expenses Of
living Of persons employed in manufac-
lures and of persons employed in agri-
culture, or to compare the comforts or
the social advantages enjoyed by per-
sons engaged in, or dependent upon,
these two very unlike branches Of in
dustry. Nor would it be very profit
able to attempt to institute such COM

The London World tells of a new con-
trivance for making ladies taller. The
woman who is 10 undergo this process
is encased in very tight corset, and her
feet are placed in shoes weighted with
fifty pounds of lead each. She is then
placed in machine consisting of a
ring, which encircles her waist, and is
suspended from the ceiling Mt such n
height as to prevent her feet from
touching the ground. The pressure of
the corset forces the upper part of the
body upward, and the weight of the
shoes stretches her from the waist
downward 1t is estimated that the ex-

stretched by the process thus described
is two inches, and that the knee and hip

A WORD FROM GENERAL SHERMAN.

He Personally Answers u Letter Directed
to Him by farrngut Post.
Denver Republican.
At recent meeting OF Farragut Post q. A.
X. In this city, General Sherman's march to the
sea became q subject OF discussion, during
which It WAS stated by a comrade that prior 10
that campaign General Hector Tyndale pro
posed that an army, htly equipped, march
from some point on the Mississippi river TO
some point on the southeastern coast, destroy
ing public works, railroads and sources of sup
piles, and take with them all the able bodied
negroes found In the country traversed.
There was such diversity Of opinion that the
post instructed its commander, John c. Ken
nedy, to write to General Sherman and get his
opinion on the subject.
The reply was received yesterday, and Is as
follows:

REASONS WHY MILLS SHOULD NOT
HAVE 4 THIRD TERM

WoRrn1NGToN, Oct. %, 1888.
EDITOR ADvANCE:-In the Worth
ington ADVANCE Of Aug. 3Oth. 1888.
we find the following language over
Mills own signature: II have been
placed in my present official position by
their votes for which they have my sim
cere thanks. 4 | feel that it
would be intruding on their generosity
10 force myself Oh th.m as il candidate,
without expressed wishes on their part
that should do so. I trust
that those WHO favor my election for
another term will see that their wishes
are represented by delegates i'll the con
ventiOn or otherwise as they think best,
On or before the 25th OF September
next. Unless advices are exceedingly
favorable shall cease to be candi-
date after that date"
That the above was written by Mills
to his political friends that they should
see to it that delegates in favor Of his
nomination for 4 third term should be
elected to represent his interests in the
county convention Oh the 25th of Sep
tenber, is plain enough to be SEEM
That he did go into the Republican
county convention on SAID day is well
known to your readers. That Bloom
was nominated at said convention in-
stead Of Mills is Il matter of record
That Mr.. Bloom received nearly three
fourths of all the votes cast for auditor
and MIR. Mills only 4 trife over one
fourth is a well known fact. That Mr..
Bloom was nominated fair and square
is not questioned by any one, not even
by Mills himself
