THE n. Y Globe, one Of the

has written a letter To the Charles

colored voters Of South Carolina to
support the Democratic bartv Of
that State Mr. Hamilton Il de
scribed as one of the most inluen-

Evening Post Of this city, Which
believes i'll the disintegration If TIE

Hamilton's advice with favor.
Neither do we. We fail to see
What the Democracy Of South
Carolina has done to commend it to

good intention-show by Just laws
and just administration of them
that they are disposed to discard /
the infamous methods Of the past

II IoU WANT \ HANDSOME AND STYLISH
Daily Republican., 1883-10-29
How t0Succeed.

Most of our desires are best and mos,
quickly accomplished, not by headloOG
chase after them, but by due regard tt
other things. He who would be a good
mechanic must obtain general inform a.
tion, cultivate habits Of observation,
know something of other trades besides
his own, and no more allow his mind tt
grow rusty than his tools. He who
would be frst-rate lawyer must not
limit his study to technical law. The
artist canot afford to ignore mathema
tics, nor the merchant to lose interest in
reading. Every employment thriVes
best in the hands of those who unite u
fair general knowledge Of other thir g
with a specially excellent knowledge
of their own. So, when we set ourselvs.
strenuously to accomplish any given
task, we need not only perseverance, tc
stick to 1t, but ability to leave it at pro
per seasons and to turn the mind into
proper channels. or the work itself will
be less perfectly and less speedily per
formed.

TAI. er N Army Msls.

WAsHIN0rON, October 2.-Lieuten.
ant w. A. Kobbe, 0fthe Third Artil-
lery, who is stationed at Mt. Vernon
Barracks, Alabama, reported recently
to the War Department that there was
At that post . White mule, 45 years Of
age, named Mexiqui," which has
been for many years IN the service Of
the United States, but which at last
had been ordered sold. The officers OF
the post, Lieutenant Kobbe said, de-
sired permission to purchase the ami
NAL and keep and care for him at their
own expense.
Major r. l.. Guenther, Of the Third
Artillery, to whom the petition was
referred, report d that the mule in
question was originally left at Key
West barracks in 184S by q portion of
the army returning from Mexico at the
close of the war. "During the time,
Major Guenther says, that served
at Key Wsst-from 1875 10 lsSO-the
mule did not miss days work from
any cause. He is very old and has
teen worn out by his long service In the
Ouartermaster's Department. If there
is any way of providing for him l
should be glad to have 1t done, AZ the
expense to the Government would be
little or nothing"
The petition went through the regular
channels until 1t reached Quartermas ter
Gen era Holabird, who indorsed 1t al
foil ows "To promote the sentiment
OF kindness towards animals that are 80
intimately associated with man, it Is re-
commended in this sp cial case that this
mule be kept in the Department and
left to the care Of those who kindly feel
ings are 80 deeply enlisted in its be-
half"
General Sherman subm itted the case
to the Secretary of War with the follow
lug report ~ have seen that mule,
and whether true or false, the soldiers
bell eve it was left at the Big Spring,
where Mount Vernon Barracks now are,
at the time General Jackson's army
canped there, about 1890. Tradition
says 1t was once , sorrel, but now 1t il
white from age. The Quartermaster' =

it be kept in the Department, fed and

C.serapx 70 Chinese Trade.

The latest reports from British con-
suls in China make frequent reference to
the unremunerative prices OF teas,
which in many instances scarcely equal
the cost of cultivation, and in cOnse-
quence many growers are unable to
maintain their plantations. lndia's com.
petition is said to be the cause Of this
decadence Of the tea interest. Apart
from this, 1t is conceded that trade with
China is susceptible of development far
beyond the scale now attained. This
may be inferred from comparison
with India, which, with its 253 ,OOO, 900
of population, against the 400, 900. 900 OF
China, buys almost three times the
quantity of foreign goods. Several pratt
cal hints were given by Lieutenant H.
N. Shore, in an address delivered before
the London Society of Arts. Among the
smaller items oftrade considerable de-
mand has sprung up of late inChina for
old iron, such rs hoops from bales of
goods, boiler plates, tires of cart wheels,
but especially for old horse shoes, as
being easier to work up into agricul-
tural implements, anchors, etc, than
new iron. Horse shoes are mostly used
for the manufacture OF kniv and for
fish.plates for strengthening the axles
of native carts. So GREATS the demand
| for old iron that at Shanghai literally
acres of ground are said to be covered
with it, waiting for transport to the in
terror. The superiority Of foreign cut.
lery is readily admitted, and it is freely
used. On this point Consul Alabaster
remarks as follows:
"There is still a field open to our
manufacturers in cutlery and ironware
generally, which has been 20 far com,
paratively unworked, for the Chinese
have none of our manufacturers appli-
ances, and when their needs are under
stood We might supply them at a great
advantage over the native mannfac-
turers; but it is no use sending out in
voices Of table knives, which the
Chinese do not use, or scissors, which
are not adapted to their fingers locks
they cannot fit on their doors, or pans and
trays they cannot find a use for. Native
models might be departed from with
advantage in nearly every case, but the
conditions of employment must neces-
sarily be considered. A paddock in China
has to fit through two staples. Shears
are used generally in place OF scissors
There are no nails to pare, pens tC
mend, OF corks to extract in Chinese
household. They do not use pins, OF
steel pens, or fender, or scrapers, OF iron
tea-trays, but they have innumerable
wants which we might protitably sup
ply"
