A Hawkinsyille merchant a few days
since stated to a representative Of the
MORNING NEWS that Savannah would
get but a small portion of that city's cot
ton this year. He said that while every
body was friendly and wanted to trade
with Savannah, the low freight (65 cents
per IOO) on cotton to Norfolk was
sending the most Of it to that city
He thinks Savannah should have
railroad from Hawkinsyille to Millen, or
some other station on the Central Rail-
road. Such a road, with the proposed
road from Americas to Hawkinsville,
would give a short line to the Southwest,
and also open up a good section OF Georgia.

The Mexican Congress.

A letter from Mexico, describing sit
ting of Congress, says: The members
wear faultless suits of black. Many of
them, perhaps majority, have white
neckties and white gloves. It is almost
a full dress affair. They are fine
looking body of men. Some of them
have faces to be remembered. There is
an astonishing uniformity of complexion.
Black eyes, black hair. in whatever d.
rection the observer turns. There is
not one blonde in the building, except
among the handful of foreigners, who
are attentive spectators. Most of the
members, too, are of only middle age, or
younger. Three gray and as many bald
heads exhaust the list of exceptions to
this rule. One instinctively falls to
specializing why there are no old men
for council here. The most natural con-
clusion is that the men of the last gen.
Grafton either failed to reach middle life.
because of the frequent bloody political
revolutions of their times, or else con-
tinue to be SO far behind the hour that
the present progressive age has no use
for them. Modern ideas are certainly
gaining ground in Mexico. And it is
fitting, if not inevitable, that modern
men, and they only, should expound
them. There ought to be large at
tendance of fair women to greet these
brave men and jealous legislators. But
there are not two dozen women in the
audience.

large amounts have sometimes been
found and restored to their owners. We
find more amusement in our business
than articles of value; for instance, i'm
mediately after the war I advertised
I would buy up Confederate bonds.
Great comfort was drawn from this ad-
vertisement by many of the holders of
these bonds, and innumerable applica-
tions were made to us for the purchase
of precious documents. You can imag-
inc the chagrin of the would-be sellers
when they discovered that. although I
purchased Confederate bonds, it was by
weight rather than at their face value"

Tons of Old Paper.

GFrom the New York Mail and Express.I
The amount of paper stock consumed
daily in the publication of newspapers
and journals in this city is almost in
credible. It is estimated that about
two hundred and twenty-five daily,
weekly and monthly publications are
issued, which have an aggregate circu-
lation of over a million sheets a day.
and which weigh about 100, 900 pounds.
The greater portion of this paper soon
becomes worthless, and is either thrown
away or burned or collected to send to
the paper mill. A reporter recently
visited Mr.. j. G. Stockwell for the pur-
pose of getting a few facts concerning
the use and misuse of paper and paper
stock. 81 started In this business"
said Mr.. Stockwell, ''about thirty-four
years ago, since which time there has
been great changes IN the trade. Then
l used to buy on an average about
ton of paper stock week; now [ am
buying twelve tons day. Then there
were only few dealers, now we are a
hundred. Much of our stock is OBJ.
taiued from banks and merchants who
have failed. Letters, political and law
documents, commercial and account
books, representing years of business,
months of litigation and millions of dol
lars at last come to our old paper
morgue. The amount of material that
arrives here in one year In the shape of
patent Office reports is surprising. Huge
masses of these handsomely bound vol
umes are TANNED into the bales with
battered show bills, and purchased at so
many cents pound"
''1hen the ragpickers do not furnish
you any amount of paper stock?"
''None at all; there is no market for
refuse stock of this kind. Some idea
may be had of the growth of our bust
ness when tell you that in 1888 carts
went through Boston and the vicinity
collecting rags for which 81 cents a
pound was paid, while they now bring
but one cent pound. In 1850 one cent
pound was paid for miscellaneous pa
per stock. but the price gradually rose
until during the war the scarcity of pa
per brought the price up to ten cents
pound.
do you not often find valuable and
important documents?"
"We do not make it rule to look for
valuables of any kind. Still we often
come across them. Some years ago I
found the first record OF the Continental
Congress, which is now in the library at
Washington. Then I found the old
parchment deed by which the land,
which now comprises the town of Schen-
ectady, was ce ed to the whites by the
Indians. That was sold. Checks for

Dog Trains i'm Idaho.
ICOr San FraI

[Cor. San Francisco Chronicle
During the day of my arrival / saw a
few men sweating under the labor OF
pulling two sacks of -four on toboggan
and several dog trains. These dog trains
are amusing, if not admirable, as means
of transporting freight. They are made
up of Indian dogs, collies, mongrels,
scrubyelpers, Newfoundlands and mas
tifffs, with now and then bulldog. The
driver goes behind and urges them on
with snowballs, now and then finding it
necessary to go forward and make lazy
cur work up to his collar by giving him
the blight of packing rope. Poor brutal
Probably it is his only bite of any kind
for many hours. asked one dog-team
man what he fed his dogs and he said:
''Tallow and Indian meal"
care they trained?"
''No; we pick up all sorts of dogs and
work them in very soon by putting 81
good dog on the lead"
'sDo they never balk?"
'sNo; dogs is the-foolsi IN the world,
while they is the sagaciousest amin ais.
Why, when them dogs near about pull
their toe nails off comm up a steep hill
they bark out their delight when I GO
up and pat them on the head and call
them 'dood dogs Horses nor other
animals won't be fedon such taffy. Why
these dogs will stand it to be cussed for
miles and then be tickled to death at a
pat on the head"
So he ratified on about the dogs. The
merchants say the dog teams spoil goods
like the mischief. They are all the time
tipping over and rolling them around.
The latest method of packing has been
developed to-day. Two fellows came
into camp with two sticks and cross
piece, upon which were piled flour sacks
and bacon, the ends of the sticks resting
upon the shoulders of the carriers. The
days of the toboggan are pretty much
ended. There is snow enough, but it is
not evenly enough distributed to be of
any use. The toboggan has doomed up
during this Coeur d. Alene excitement
and has found its way into literature to
a remarkable extent. The men who
have been most intimate with it will cuss
the toboggan for the remainder of their
lives.

soY,e find work where some find rest,
And so the weary world goes on;
T sometimes wonder which is best
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary night hours go.
Some hearts beat where some hearts breaK,
1 often wonder why tits so.
Some hands fold where other hands
Are lifted bravely in the strife;
And so thro' ages and thro' lands
Move on the two extremes OF life.
Some feet halt where some feet tread.
In tireless march, q thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have ned;
Some seek, when others shun the fray
Some sleep on when others keep
The vigils of the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their II anne above grave.
