The members from the south are
very much gratified with the eviden-
ces of growth Of manufacturing indus
tries in that section. The census de-
veloped some quite astonishing facts as
to their increase of cotton mills and
other manufactures of this nature,
but their growth in the two years past
has even been more phenomenal. In
Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama
and Louisiana this is especially tue
while in Texas the growth Of popu-
lation is equally remarkable.
A gentleman recently from Atlanta,
in speaking of this subject, said to
your correspondent that the growts of
business and manufactures in the south
had been remarkable in the past two
years. Throughout Georgia large
number manufactures of various sorts
have been put in operation. The Gin
cinnati company, which started a
chemical works in Atlanta, is fading
its venture very satisfactory in its re-
suits. A member of the company was
recently here, and in a conversation
with your correspondent, stated that the
enterprise was having great ,uccess.

The First Engine Built South,

Chattanooga Times.
The last stroke of the mechanic on
beautiful mogul engine, which has
been building at the Alabama Great
Southern shops for some time, sounded
yesterday morning, and soon quite a
throng assembled about the splendid
machine admiring its beauty and finish.
1t marked a new era in railroad build
ing in the south, being the first COM
plete engine ever constructed south of
Louisville. The entire work, including
every bolt, rivet and casting, was pro-
duced in Chattanooga, the major por-
ton being the work of the Alabama
Great Southern shops alone.
Yesterday afternoon the engine made
its trial trip, engineer Spot being at
the throttle, Maj, Wallace, superin
tendent of the road, Hon. Lewis Shep
herd, the attorney of the road, and Mr.
Manuel, the master mechanic were
aboard. Thirty-two loaded cars were
attached. When the throttle wal
opened the majestic horse started forth
with a snort and moved beautifully
without accident or delay.
The engine is one of the class know
as moguls, being very large, and vii
be used in switching.
A few weeks since complete trail
OF cars was built at these shops. The,
are unsurpassed in the south, and ind

Butter Markets.
The American Dairyman.

The American Dairyman.
We notice that some of the "author-
titles" who spoke at the last meeting Of
the New York Dairyman's Association
made the remarkable statement that
this country was constantly shipping
poor butter abroad and receiving large
shipments of butter from Europe. We
have very little to say against the first
half of this proposition, for there is not
much to be said in favor of the quality
Of the butter we export, the reason be
ing that there is an excellent home
demand for all the fine goods we make
and even more could be taken # our
dairymen would onl make them while
our markets are constantly burdened
with goods of poor quality, while ship
ping them is the only way to get rid of
them. These goods are bought here at
less than it costs to make them, so that,
while there is no profit to dairymen,
there is but small margin for the dealer
also, who takes the risk of foreign
market.
In relation to the last half of the
aforesaid proposition, that we are re.
ceiving large shipments of fine butter
from the other side, We fear the speak.
er has drawn upon his imagination for
his facts. 1t is true that few
sample lots have, from time to time,
been received here of very fair quality,
but they have never amounted to more
than specimen lots, and the venture
has not often, if eyer, been repeated.
We opine that there is just as good a
demand on the other side for fine goods
as there is here. The same rule OBJ
tains the world over, that for first

tanned for it at home markets, or at
least markets so near that long ocean
shipments are not necessary.
Dairymen will probably find il nee
essary to glut our markets with fine
butter before they will obtain or require
Il good market abroad. AS the best
goods in the London market brings No
more than the best goods in our mar
kets, it can hardly be expected that ad
ditional ocean freightS added will hell
to make profit.
Here is a good place to read the old
sermon about poor butter costing IL,
much to make as good butter, while all
the profit goes to the latter article
This fact will stand the test of the ole
saw, line upon line, precept upon pre-
cept.

The Wild Man Captured.

For several weeks past various re-
ports have reached the city OF the pres
ence of a wild man along the line of the
Western X Atlantic railroad. 1t is
said that Two weeks since he was seen
near Gainesville devouring the remains
OF a horse. He was perfectly nude,
and before he left the carcass he skin
ned it and encircled his body with the
skin. His beard WAS four or five feet
long. and his unkempt hair hung far
beneath his shoulders. He was tall
aud strongly built and had the air of a
demon. When next seen he was near
Chicamauga, about eight miles from
this city, devouring dogs carcass.
He carried a skillet with him, and
when possible would cook his meat,
hut on rare occasions.
Tuesday night he boarded freight
on the road and succeeded in terrifying
the crew, but they were enabled, by
careful management, to secure him in
car and carried him to Cartersville,
where he was lodged in Jail. He wore
nothing but the horse skin, and on biz
little finger gold ring, firmly imbedet
in the flesh. He answers no questions
and his identity is deep mystery
