DALLAS, Aug. 5.--The usual dull trade that

months Is reported by dry goods lobbers.
Country merchants are remarkably back
ward about putting In an appearance, and
h. ar the greater part of the sales are made
by he medium Of the mail, Such orders Ms
arc now received arc chiefly for goods
adapted to the autumn trade The call for
thin summer dress goods IL extremely light,
ard most the sales of prints and ginghams
are restricted TO dark patterns. hn.u tctuF-
ers are producing an infinite variety OF new
patterns in these fabrics, and,
as many of them ARE MOTH

The above road will not ship
freight via the Mississippi Valley
road to Baton Rouge, and thence O.

there are no facilities for transfer
ring freight, and in order to do SO
side tracks, platforms and sheds
would have to be built on each side
the river. The road will be OPEN
ed for through freight business by
August 10, and in consequence it
would be foolish at this late day

to transfer rhipnents. All freight

The New York Sun on Cleveland's
Nomination.

Line 10llOWlng is a new 1OrK Spe-
cial of the 18th inst. to the Times
Democrat:
The Sun, whose leader the morn
ing after the nomination of Cleve-
land was confidently pointed to by
the Blaine people as an evidence
that it would take no part in the
fight, has a leader to-day entitled
"1ntegrity as Factor i'll Politics"
which shows that, although opposed
to his nomination, the Sun is not
without a high regard for the nomi-
nee of the party and will cordially
support him. The Sun says: THE
nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland by the
Democrats is, more than anything
else, protest against the assump-
ton involved in the nomination of
Mr.. Blaine by the Republicans,
that it does not make any difference
whether man is honest or not so
long as he possesses the other quail
tiles of a great political leader
The one conspicuous defett in Mr..
Blaines career has been his indif-
ference to official integrity. The
prominent feature of Gov. Cleve-
lands administration has been the
confidence which he has inspired in
his rectitude of purpose and homes
ty Of action as a public officer. In
training, in experience, in knowl-
edge of affairs, it cannot truthfully
be said that he is Mr.. Blaine's
equal. He had a vast deal to learn
when he became Governor, and the
field of necessary knowledge which
the White House opens to view is
much more expansive and exacting,
but he is strong where his antago-
mist is weak, and his honesty is not
doubted. This is the point of com
parison to which the Democrats
will do we'll to turn the drift of pop
ular discussion The Sun speaks
highly of the nomination Of Mr..
Hendricks, whese name strengthens
the ticket, and says that Kit is to
the credit of the patriotism Of Mr..
Hsndricks that he was willing to
lay aside his natural objections
from point Of mere personal dig
nifty and consideration, and to give
the party the benefit of his name.
"A TOBACCO expert tells as fol-
lows how the filling for cigarettes
is prepared: "The old cigar stumps
after the charred ends are cut off,
are soaked in solution of ammo
MIA and some other chemical, which
takes away nearly all the nicotine
from the tobacco and removes all
traces Of smoke and creosote. This
mass Of pulpy tobacco is then press
cd in cakes and shaved into fine
shreds by cutting machine. Then
it is given a bath in some bleaching
solution, which removes nearly all
the properties of which the weed is
possessed when it come from the
plantation. Then it is dried, after
which it is passed nnder an atomi-
yer and dampened by means of a
preparation Of glyoerine and some
aavoring extract. Then it is ready
for the cigarette. So before il

STRONG efforts are being made
in New Jersey to more effectually
enforce the provisions of the Child
Labor law, forbidding the employ
ment in the factories of children un-
der certain ages. This is having a
curious result in the manufacturing
towns of that State. It is making
it impossible to tell the ages Of the
inhabitants. 1t appears that par
ents in order to evade the law, rep
resent their children to be older
than they are, and these children
grow up without knowledge of their
own ages. AS the female children,
when they arrive at womanhood,
do not hesitate to put their ages
back to suit thenselve, the utmost
confusion ensues.-- Exchange.

The preponderance of widows over
widowers in England is often remarked.
The census returns show this to be I'M
mistakably the case. There were in
1881 close upon 100000 widows in
England and Wales, the number of
widowers being less than half as many.
OF these 900, 900 widows $1,000 were
under thirty-iive years of age. In Ire
land and Scotland the number of wild
yows was in each case three times that
of the widowers.
The annual crop of human hair
| bought and sold amounts to fully 100
tons. Four ounces is an average clip
ping from human head; so that 100
tons represent the product of from 800,
900 to i,OO0 600 heads. In Europe the
| heads of female criminals are shorn,
and they supply large market, but
the greater part is bought by travelling
peddlers. Between the ages of fifteen

The rate of fire destruction in the
United States is steadily increasing.
Eight or nine years ago 1t was about
SO, 900, 600 year, or ~, 100000, 900 in
fifteen years. Now it is 800, ,O0C
q year, or $1,000, 900, 600 in only ten
years. Let this rate continue, and at
the end of fifty or sixty years more the
annual fire waste will not be less thar
81, 900, 100000, which would be more
than the net profits of the entire indus
tries of the country Chicago Herald
