The Exposition and the Lumber
Interests.

The Chicago Lumbeymap sees in
the Worlds Exposition the best OPP
portnnity yet afforded the South to
develop its lumber industry, where
in lies it's greatest natural wealth.
The Letmbe,ma'a has always been a
believer in this industry, and pre-
dicted for it a brilliant future. 1t
recognized the great extent of the
Southern forests and the excellent
qnality of Southern woods, and it
has been seeking to turn the atten-
ton of Northern capitalists to the
bargains offered them in Southern
woodlands.
At the same time, it has pointed
out the dangers of the lumber bust
ness in the South-what has held
it back and what threatens to hold
it back in the future. The great
est injury to Southern lumber has
resulted, it says, from the bad man
ner in which it has been cut and
the bad quality Of stuff shipped
North for sale. There was quite a
demand for yellow pine at Chicago,
but this demand has been material
ly lessened by the bad quality Of
pine lumber shipped there.
The Exposition will correct this.
"There will be-" the Lmube,9nQa
thinks, E'the most favorable oppor-
tunity there for Southern lumber
men to examine the mill machinery
of Northern manufacturers. The
president of the Novelty Iron
Works, Dubuque, Ia, informs us
that full line of his machinery
will be on exhibition; and many
other machinery men will show the
same enterprise. One grand fea-
ture Of the Exposition is that the
machinery shown can be seen when
doing its accustomed work, and
comparisons can be made between
the various makes. The Southern
mills have been improved materi-
ally of late, but there is still room
in many of them for Improvement.
The Southern lumber manufactu-
rers must complete with those Of
the North, and it would be we'll if
they wonld bear constantly in mind
the fact that a we'll manufactured
product can only be turned out by
the use Of good machinery, opera
ted by skillful hands"
The Southern lumbermen, there
fore, will have here an opportunity
of studying the latest improvements
in sawmill machinery, and can
study them practically as we'll as
theoretically. They will be able to
select the best machinery, that viii
turn out as fine a quality of lumber
as that manufactured by the best
Northern mills. The Southern tim
Der is equal to any grown in the
country, and properly prepared and
shipped to market will be equally
desiled; will create a demand for
Southern lumber and give value to
the millions of acres of woodlands

frothy, superficial, to be sure. But he
shared the fate of many to whom the
oil fever brought sudden fortune. I'm
expected success seemed to go to his

card playing, and at last the bottle.

bought the finest varieties of berries,

Greenville Advocate,
Anybody can talk slang-the most
illiterate, the most unprincipled, the
most vitiated in taste, the shallowest in
brain and most corrupt in heart. We
admit that good point, striking
truth may be found in it, like jewel
in the mire, but let us seek the pure
wells of language undefled-the same
jewel is there and we can afford to
leave one in the mud for him who
loves to root in the puddle. Perchance
it will be the one bright drop which
will exert the saving influence and res
cue the slang spatterer from the murky
depths of vulgarity. Slang in the
sweet lips of childhood is shocking,
from the pure lips of womanhood is
disgusting and from the man is sad

keep young mans mouth always
worthy mothers kiss.

The True Version of Lynch Law.

Land and Water.
James FitzStephen Lynch was war;
der of Galway in 1893, and is said to
have hanged his son from the windows
of Lynch castle. At that time con-
siderable trade was done between Spain
and Galway, which district still bears
marks of this connection in its archi>
lecture, which somewhat resembles
that of Cadiz and Malaga. Lynch
sent his son to Spain for a cargo of
wine, and to bring back a Spanish
friend on visit. Young Lynch squan.
dered the money entrusted to him, OBJ.
tanned the wine on credit, murdered his
guest on the passage home. The truth,
however, came out, owing to the con.
fession Of dying sailor, and the ia.
Their, acting the part of Brutus, con.
demned his son to death. Owing to
the strong muster of his wife's relatives
outside the castle on the day of execu,
ton, the father feared rescue, so he
determined to take the law into his
own hands, and hanged the youth from
an arched window overlooking the
street.

OTTAWA, Can, Feb. 4.-The British Colum-
bia government have forwarded petition to
the Governor General, asking that the Domin-
ion government bring in bill to restrict Chi
nese immigration into that province. The ad-
dress, which was received by Lord Lansdowne,
sets forth the views of the Provincial govern
ment in very positive manner The growing
evil of Chinese immigration is referred to,
which they say can only be stopped by re-
strictiye legislation. The Chinese population
of the province is placed at 1900, the majori-
ty of whom were brought over by the Canadi-
an Pacific railway contractors in state of
comparative destitution. They are now
thrown out of employment and become a
charge on the revenue Of the country. The
influx of this undesirable class OF immigrants,
it is represented, works seriously against the
province being settled by white population
owing to the degrading habits and associations
of the Cinnamon. They are beyond sanitary
control, neglect their sick, and defeat justice
by secret organizations. Such is the represen-
tation made to Lord Landsdowne Of the condi-
tion of the Chinese in British Columbia, and
in asking for restrictive legislation the govern
ment of the province also asks that, as in the
case of the Provincial government and munic-
ipal council they may be excluded from
employment on government works
The Provincial government has taken the in
itiative with the view to driving the Chinese
out of the country, but the power to prevent
immigration rests alone with the Dominion
government. A bill has been introduced by
the government in the Provincial legislature
making it compulsory for every Chinese per-
son over IA years of age to take out license,
for which 500 will be paid annually, fail
ing to do which fine of $40 will be imposed.
Any one employing Chinaman who has not a
license in his possession, will be liable to fine
of $50

THE DOMINION.

Opening of IEontreaPs Winter Carnival.
MONTREAL, Feb 6.-The second grand an
nual carnival opened here yesterday, at 2.S0 p
M, by the throwing open to visitors of all the
toboggan slides, and the outdoor skating rink
on McGill College grounds, where the grand
hockey tournament was inaugurated. The
Governor-General and suite arrived from OF
tawa, and were received by the mayor and al
dermen and deputation from the carnival
committee. The line of procession was crowd
ed with spectators. The vice regal party was
heartily cheered, but the grand ovation was
reserved for the passage under the living arch.
Here the crowd was so dense as TO make it inn
possible for the party to proceed. The arch,
manned Dy upwards Of 200 snowshoers in pic
turesque costume, was literally living arch.
The snowshoe men were disposed upon the
arch in lines and sections in q manner to show
off their white uniforms and many colored
stockings against the dark background of the
arch.
Crowds thronged Dominion Square in the
evening to witness the first illumination of the
ice palace and the display of fireworks in con-
nection with it. The palace was lighted by
sixteen arc lights of great brilliancy, which
caused the blocks of ice to sparkleilike crystal.
Colored lights we're burned at intervals.
The other notable feature of the program me
OF the evening was the formal inauguration
and illumination of the Montreal Toboggan n
Clubs slide. The Montreal is the veteran
club, and its hill is the one where the toboggan
sensation is most thoroughly taken in. The
slide grounds were brilliantly illuminated by
torches placed few feet apart, while colored
lanterns added variety of color to the scene.
The rows of light extended over quarter of
a mile in length. A huge bonfire threw Its
Pickering glare over the scene. 1t is estimat-
ed that 3, 1000 persona were on the grounds.
The sports today were the Inauguration Of
the curling bonspiel in which 80 clubs from
all parts of the continent took part, toboggan-
ing, snow shoe races and trotting matches at
the zMontreal Driving Park. The trotting
races drew a large attendance there being
many flyers from the States contending against
the Canadian horses.

February II, 1872; improved pneumatic air
brake for railroad cars, issued to Charles r.
