The Confederate Sal. works.

A correspondent of the Fhiladel.
adelphia Ledger gives an interesting
account of Saltville, near the Clinch
mountains, in West Tennessee,
where the southern people obtained
their salt during the rebellion. The
locality is basin inclosing about SIX
hundred acres, the bed of a former
lake, forming one of those rich blue
grass bottoms that are worth @ for
tune to the cattle raisers and under
living it is q salt rock. Here is made
the salt that supplies Georgia and
Alabama. In 1858 Georgs w. Pal
mer, New York salt maker from
Syracuse, came to the region and
went into the salt making industry
in q small way. Wells were sunk,
piercing the salt rock, the water be-
meath it was boiled in pans and salt
thus obtained. The industry was in
moderate operation when the rebel
lion began, and it was then extended
in an amazing way. The blockade
of the southern ports Gus off all the
outside supply of salt, and here al
most the entire confederacy had to
come for it. The manufacture was
made a national enc, each southern
state established its agency, paying a
royalty for the salt produced, and
Col. Palmer, extending his Business,
took in Gen. Stuart as. partner
They are now probably the two
wealthiest men in Virginia. During
the war federal troops destroyed the
works, but after they left the manu-
facture was resumed. 1t was enor-
mously profitable for the owners,
who turned cut as much as ten mil
lion bushels year. The receipts Of
confederate money! were at times so
heavy that they had not the oppor-
tunity to count it, but bundled it up,
taking the account as sent them.
AS gold appreciated and paper accu-
INFLATED they bought out all the re-
gion surrounding Salt Lick, thus
getting a magnificent estate of twelve
thousand acres, On which he now
lives with his brother, and breeds
many thousands Of sheep and hun
dreds of 6ne cattle The salt indus
try by this process often, produced
them an acre of land for bushel Of
salt in the high war prices, but the
production has now fallen off, about
800, 900 bushels being turned out an
nually.

HowaBarnusn Ernptie.. a show

A story is told of how Barnum
ence succeeded in emptying his big
show at a time when it was densely
crowded and thousands were waiting
outside to obtain admission. He
knew that a start was all that was
needed to effect this purpose, but how
to manage that was The rub. At
length a bright idea occurred to him.
Painting up in large letters on a piece
of calico, "This way to Egress," he
hung it up at convenient angle OF
of the show. Some of the people
thinking "egress" was some strange
newanimal just added to the collec
ton, passed through the slit Ia the
curtain, and to their amazement
found themselves outside the show.
The thing was done. Everybody saw
every other body making for the cor
ner where the new animal was on eX-
hibition, and in a few moments the
show was emptied, the outgoing
stream bsing 50 great that 1t was
quite impossible to turn when onca
caught in its eddy.

About as cool a proposition as was

to show that be was innocent, but the

Your every day toilet is part of
your character. A girl who looks
like q "fury" or a slOven in the morn
ing is not to be trusted, however
finely she may look in the evening
No matter how humble your room
may be, there are eight things it
should contain, viz: a mirror, wash
stand, soap, towel, comb, hair, nail
and tooth brushes. These are just
essential as your breakfast, before
which you should make good and
free use of them. Parents who fail
to provide their children with such
appliances not only make a great mis-
take, but commit sin Of omission.
Look tidy in the morning, and after
the dinner work is over improve your
toilet. Make it a rule of your daily
life to "dress up" in the afternoon.
Your dress may Or may not be any
thing better than calico, but with a
ribbon or flower, or some bit of orna-
ment, you can have an air of self-re-
spect and satisfaction that invariably
comes with being well dressed.

a Chicago Romance.
"Kiss me darling"

"Kiss me darling"
Richard Irwin had toiled slowly
and YEARLY up the TWO flights of
stairs that led to the poor abode. and
looked long and lovingly into the
pale but beautiful face of the girl
who had given up parents, home,
and everything that had made life
happy to become his wife. And as
he stood there, her soft white arms
twined lovingly around his neck, and
her deep hazel eyes appraised to his,
he saw that she had been weeping,
and around the wan, dropping lips
that in the happy bygone days were
so often raised, pOuting merrily the
while 40 be kissed by his own, there
were traces of pie. Richard Irwin
shuddered as he drew the 1.-THE, yield
i-g form still more closely to him, and
he wept bitter, scalding tears of pain
to think that his wife, Clytie Stig-
gins, Boston born and bred-a girl
who habitually read Emerson, and
whose essay on the theory of horizon
tai cleavage in red sandstone was
only excelled by her paper on the
fauna Of the pliocene period-should
be reduced to eating pie in the morn
ing. And while he was wrapped in
these painful reveries Clytie raised
her head from his boson. One glance
told her all.
"You are suffering my darling,
she said. "Can you not tell M,
your wife, of your sorrOw?"
at is nothing" Richard replied,
kissing her tenderly.
"Lemon pie, too" he murmured,
in hoarse, agonized tones, as his lips
left hers. "This is terrible"
Just then a noise, as if some one
dragging himself slowly and YEARLY
up the stairs, was heard. Presently
it ceased, and messenger kicked the
door open, and walking into where
Richard Irwin sat, handed him tel
egram. He tore open the envelope
with trembling hands and read the
message, the boy looking over his
shoulder to see that everything was
all right.
