The South possesses in her varied
and valuable woods the basis Of
enormous future wealth. The man
ufacture of cabinet woods and fur
niture in the Southern States can
be made one of the leading indus
tries in that section, as the material
is almost Unlimited and the water
power for factories abundant. Sew
eral manufacturers of this description
have been established, and the value
of the output for 1882 is placed at
$3,000.000. The industry is yet in
its infancy, and is confined to a few
sections of the area capable of being
utilized for this bushes. North
Carolina alone, with her magnificent
forests of valuable woods, could
prodnce furniture enough to supply
the whole South. -IndustriaI South.

PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH.

The American Bankers Associa-
ton will hold its annual session in
this city next month. The sitting
of such a convention in a Soathern
city for the first time, is a significant
fact. 1t is recognition of the in
creasing Importance of the COM
mercial interest of the South. The
rapid development of the far West
after the war period, long diverted
the attention of the commercial
world from the revival of industry
aud the consequent growth of COM
merce below Mason and Dixon's
line. This improved order of things
has forced itself at last upon the
attention of the whole country, and
is not hard to understand why old
States such asKentucky Georgia,
long settled and with stable institu-
tions, may be more desirable local
tiles for investment than new sections
like Nebraska or Dakota. The At
lanta Exposition and our own South
ern Exposition have done a great
work in bringing to the notice Of
manufacturers the Importance of
the South to their interests. In the
same manner the meeting of the
bankers in Louisville will give the
leading business men of the country
a better knowledge of the business
opportunities of oursection.-Louis-

The burning railroad embank-
ment, few miles down the Cincin-
natl Southern railroad, is still raging
with its original vigor. The Com
pany keeps a man on the grounds to
watch the progress of affairs and
fill up the bank as it crumbles in.
Some people are disposed to take a
serious view of this curious burning,
and think that perhaps it has struck
deep in the ground. Bat it is hardly
probable that the fire is confined to
any but the imported oily earth of
the fill. There are some fears of an
explosion from confined vapors.-

A SISTERS SACRIFICE.

| The next entertainment booked at

noted Harrisons next Friday supported by
strong company. The Brooklyn -4rgus
! thusspeaks of the play and the players
The Harrisons appeared at Hayerley' S
Theatre last night, in Leonard Grover s
play, Viva; or, A Sisters Sacrifice ="
Alice Harrison has long been known as a
bright and vivacious actress, especially in
musical extravagaDzas. In Viva" she is
brought face to face with more serious
business. while the role she plays gives a
fair chance for the exercise of her peculiar
talents. Miss Harrison certainly gave
evidence that she had not mistaken her
aptitude for more serious work. She was
sprightly in the first and second acts, and
when the tragedy came on the third. and
she met, first the contempt of her suppos-
ed husbands fashionable friends, and then
the brutal scorn of his inhuman mother
followed by the denunciatiou of him that
had so cruelty deceived her, and the
knowledge that he had been murdered by
his brother-in all these scenes she acquit-
ted herself so well as to win enthusiastic
applause, and to make her success COM
piete. Louis Harrison has wonderful
knack at fun making, and bore off his
part admirably. The Coney Island scene
had an air of naturalness and excited
sympathetic feelings in the average
Brooklyn bosom. Mr.. Grover had abund-
ant materials at hand. He laid out
large dramatic enterprise, and through the
whole field has steered his way with
skillful avoidance of obstacles and diff
culties. He can retouch his work in
parts. and thereby render it more harmo
nieus in tome. The story is strong and
effective as all who sees the piece will
admit. Viva" ought to have a popular
and successful run in Brooklyn. It is an
enjoyable piece, both in its absurd and
grotesque features, and in its more elabor-
ate dramatic points.
