There was man in our town,
And he was v w1ndrous wise,
He jumped into a briar bush,
And scratched out both his eyes.
And when he saw his eyes were out,
With all his might and main.
He jumped into another bush,
And scratched them in again.

Georgia vs.. North Carolina.

The two leading cotton manufacturing
States in the South are Georgia and
North Carolina. On the frat day of
June. 1880, Georgia had 40 mills, con-
tanning 2G0.974 spindles; North Caroli-
ma had 40 mills, containing 1O2,76?.
Three years and half elapse and the
account stands as follows: Georgia has
81 mills, containing 340,130 spindies :;
North Carolina has SO mills, containing
2l3,362 spiudles. North Carolina has
more mills and Gergia more spindles.
The activity and ambition Of the two
States in the direction of cotton manu-.
featuring do not greatly vary. Georgia
has more capital, but North Carolina has
more water powers. It is q snug race,
aud Georgia should look to her Iaurels.

head of the list. We hope that every

A GERMAN INSULT.
Flung into tho Faco of the United statos
Government.

LoNOoN, February lG.-The Berlin
correspondent of the Times says that
Prince Bismarck has returned to Herr

Washington, the resolution Of coincidence
on Herr Lasker's death, passed by Con-
gress, with a counter request TO return
the resolution to tho House Of Represen.
tatives, as the position Of Herr Lasker in
Germany wss not such as to Justify the
resolution. Thc Times adds that
although the above appears incredible,
the fact is that the relations between
Washington and Berlin arc in state of
great tension, Chiefly owing to the pig.
flesh question. The Times concludes :
"One thing is certain, We nave not heard
the last Of the Lasker incident The
Americans are much too proud, too sem
sitire, and too independent for that"
The German minister says he has re-
ceived no information concerning the
alleged action OF Prince Bismarck III
regard TO the House resolution Of condo
Jnce on Herr Lasker's death, cabled by
the news association of London. The
Times Berlin correspondence is supposed
to be wholly sensational, in fact a mere
"canard." The State department is also
that the resolution ba: been returned to
return it 10 the House of Representatives,

over the report that Bismarck has return

Senator Morgan said his action was
barbarous and outside his legitimate pre-
rogative. Mr.. Clements who is on the
House Committee of foreign affairs, said
that the House would undoubtedly take
some action if Bismarck has been cor.
rectly reported.
Some members favor the passage of
another resolution, declaring Bismarck
incapable of judging of Herr Lasker's
character or title to respect. The Even

have been trying to consolidate the Euro

for the republic whose success has made
despotism insecure the world over. IF
the current report of Bismarck's conduct
be true, a correspondence will undoubtedly
ensue between the United States and
Germany.

Canse and Remedy for the Flood.

Discussing the Western floods, an
Ohioan said to me: "You need not ex-
press surprise that the water reaches a
higher mark this year than ever before.
The water sheds Of the Middle and
Western States are being rapidly stripped
of their forests. And this means more
floods and higher ones. Indeed we may
look for annual overHows that will prac-
tically wipe out many river towns, aud
change the map of the river cities. AS
for the Mississippi valley you 0may look
for terrible disaster there in the next
twenty days"
"And the remedy for this ?'
e"There is but one. Save the remnants
of the forests and plant bew trees on q
gigantic scale. AS long as the water
sheds are bare there will be quick and
tremendous floods. A forest is the con
eor9ator Of rain. It is vast reservoir.
in which the rain 10 stored, and from
which it is led out slowly. On bare hills
the soil bakes and the water rushes down
in torrsnts. We shall have annual hor.
rors and disasters until the forests are
restored."

reached the place, it was discovered that
the rear portion of two brick buildings
on the south side of Pearl street, near
Ludlow, had fallen in, and ten persons

The firemen, in conjunction with the
police, made superhuman efforts to res.

Senator Sherman'e idea of dividing the

the States has met with very little favor,
so far, in any section of the Union. 1t
is evidently intended to keep the protec-
ton tariff up to the highest point posi-
BILE, and therefore Is opposed by all reve.
me refe.msrs. It "a mere political
dodge 70 maintain the tariff, and at the
came time appeal to the ax.payer on the
plea that the general government is light

proposes, however, when fully examined
to Tighten these burdens in one place to
unnecessarily impose them in another.
The Internal Revenue being levied al
most entirely upon luxuries 10 not bur.

to assume the burden, while on the other
hand the tariff being levied on many ar
ticles we eat, n,ost articles we wear, the

facturing--in fact, on Tho bulk of articles
we buy-is n burden, whether realized
or not, upon every citize.., and falls of
course heavier upon the lnboring man
than upon the capitalist. Therefore, it
is to the interest Of the masses to main.
tain the Internal Revenue and cut down
the tariff. It would, however, be better
to divide this revenue among the States
than to abolish'it altogether.
