in less time than it took our fore
fathers to clear enough ground to
produce food for themselves and their
immediate dependents. Nevertheless. it
would be a pity were the South to fall in
to the errors of the North. and fall to
building railways far beyond their neces-
sites, or TO mOrtgaging the future to an
extent that it would take generations to
overcome. Better far that they should
continue to develop slowly, attracting
settlers with means, rather than the money
OF the wealthy. In some parts of the
South, perhaps, the AnglO-SaXOn race can
scarcely hope to live and flourish, but as
rule they can do so, and wherever in
dIVidual Englishmen can settle there
IS room for them, for their means, and
hands, and brains. But the South is
not the country for huge land-grabbing
companies, nor for railroad schemes like
those that have demOraliZed the North
and West. It's rivers are its natural
highways, and its fertile soil Yields the
best results in the hands of the small cul-
tivatCr, as the success of the negro cotton
farmer proves. We trust, therefore. that
the attention to be given this year to these
Southern States viii not lead to the gene
ration Of a speculative rush of the kind
whose inevitable end is a financial col
lapse. Should it not do so. we may ex-
pect to see them make great and lasting
progress within the next few years. I'M
migrants will flow towards them, indus
tries viii spring up and expand, wealth
viii accumulate until, it may be. this
part Of the Union viii resume its place
as the dominant section Of the great
Federal republic.

DICKENS, OLD CURIOSITY SHOP.
The Last of an Alleged ROOkery I'M
mortalized by the Great Novelist.
Jo01oa D1jT,, Negre

pleasant soul, with humOr in her eye, to
our representative, when he called upon
her to ask permission to explore No. IA

reason, indeed, for Dickens cold Curiosity
Shop" and the street where il stands are
constantly crowded with visitors and
sightseers. "And ore well-dressed per-
son." said my hostess, with a sniff of con-
tempt, "asked me if he might take a brick
away with him as a relic! i will smooth
it down and it shall be an heirloom in my
family forever A lunatic. l call him.
And who knows but he beats his Wife?"
But this gentleman, trimming over with
sentiment, walked off with a brick under
his coat nevertheless.
Many artists have visited the spot lately,
for it is to be torn down, and many
sketches from every point Of the compass
have been taken. On Monday, in the
short space Of half an hour, photOg-
raper blocked UP Sheffield street with
his camera. three reporters were busy
taking notes, and two other gentlemen
were hard at work sketching the ruins,
much to the amusement of the odd fish
who constitute the neighborhoOd." Even
during the few minutes l spent in the
upper regions of No. IA, one lady came
up the creaking steps, peered in, apollo
giZed for the intrusion, viewed the chaos,
remarked that it was a pity, and descend

PEARL BUTTONS.
simple Machinery by Which They are
Made in Massachusetts.

Springfield Republican.
The Springfield Pearl Button Company
has now had a years life, and if increase
OF working force is any criterion, it is a
vigorous infant. 1t is unique among New
England buttOn-making industries in that
il uses only simple machinery, depending
mainly on the trained hands and eyes of
its twenty-five or thirty wOrkmen for the
perfection Of its products. The marine
shells from which the mother of pearl is
Obtained-shells Of the pintadina variety,
coming from the East and West Indies,
California, and, in tact, all quarters Of the
world-are taken as they come packed,
are Tinsed in water, and are then ready for
turning The shell is made up of the
mOther-Of-pearl inside, this being of a
creamy or varied cOlOring, and a thinner
outer layer Of bOny texture. The shell
is pierced through a number of times by a
hollow boring tool, fitted to a common
lathe, some dozens of small disks being
the result. Each disk then goes through
three or four or sometimes a half dozen
more operations at tue hands of the men
standing in line at one work bench, each
having a lathe and a thTee-cOrnered file,
sharpened to suit his work. The bOny
part is cut from the disk and the button
shape given it while reYOlved by the lathe
against the sharp steel held in the WOl k
mans hand. no gauge being used. Some
of the buttons are grOOyed with a few
lines on the face, and a few holes are
punched i'm each. Part of the buttons are
subjected to a mysterious cOlOring opera
ton i'm a revolving box. but the best
grades are finished in the natural cOl0rs.
The polishing is mainly 10y hand.
The whole process is very quick. and
the method has the great advantage Of
being Immediately adapted to any style OF
button desired, no change in machinery
being required, but merely a fresh adjust
ment Of flesh and blood All sizes Of
ordinary buttons are turned out, as well
as some collar buttons" though 10
fancy articles are made. The light-cOl-
Ored material is the most valuable. Fifty
cents pound is paid for the rough shells,
and the buttons are worth from one to
seven or eight cents each. The stOre-roOm
contains many bushels Of these valuable
little things, ready for the finishing
touches, to fill orders.
The use of pearl buttons has been con-
fined mainly 10 mems clothing for five or
six years, but the fashion is thought to be
tending toward a more general use Of
them by women. The company has been
gradually increasing its force for some
months. The wOrkmen are mostly i'm
ported from Pennsylvania, and have
served a long apprenticeship. They are
paid by the piece, and the better workers
make about So a day, others averaging as
low as 81.

a Mysterious Old Woman Who Lives in
Hut.
LeadUiils Democrat.

There are a good many eccentric char
acters scattered around over Colorado and
probably more in the vicinity of Leadville
than in any other part Of the State. One
OF the queer characters to whom the at
tention of travellers is always directed as
they 20 over the road to Aspen is the old
woman that lives in a little cabin Just
this side of the summit in the edge of the
heavy growth Of timber that abOunds
until the road reaches timber lines. No
one knows her name or how she subsists.
She lives there winter and summer, and
is said to own number of claims that are
scattered about the mountain side. She
manages to get assessment work done in
some way, but so far as any one knows
she has never taken out any mineral nor
sold any of the properties. She is a mys-
terry to all who have seen her, for that is
all they can say. No one knows whittier
she came or where her relatives live, if
she has any. How she makes enough to
live on no one has any idea, and she does
not seem to be inclined to enlighten
them.

A MAGNIFICENT Victory.

In the Democratic State Convention Of
PENNSYLVANIA the Hon. Samuel j. Randall
achieved magnificent victory, and the
result OF the convention showed copclu-
sively that the Democrats OF the Keystone
State were standing solidly by the gifted
Randall for the presidency. Merit even
IN these days sometime meets with its Just
reward, and this endorsement Of Mr.. RAN
dali by his own State will be worth much
TO him in the fight for the presidential
nomination before the Democratic Conyen-
ton.
And we predict now that unless the old
ticket OF Tilden and Hendricks is renomi.
mated that Samuel j. Randall will be the
strongest man before the Chicago Conven-
ton, and he should be so; and il we could
have our way he would receive the nomi-
nation over every competitor. Gifted,
able, pure, sound on every political ques-
ton, he is the very man to lead our forces,
and we believe that II any man, he would
lead us to victory. FdrmUiue Journal.

The Presidential Succession.

The House Committee has greed to re-
port an amendment to the bill which
recently passed the Senate designating
heirs to the presidency. The amendment
provides that If the duties OF the presiden-
cy fall upon member of the Cabinet more
than twelve months before the next ensu-
ing presidential election he shall issue
proclamation for a special election.
Since in this contingency both the Presi-
dent and Vice-President would be either
dead or under disabilities. the bill might
be further amended so as to provide that
both these officers should be elected at this
special election. and should hold Office for
four years, aud that the next regular presi-
dental election should be held four years af-
forwards. the next eight years Afterwards,
and so on until and unless a new special
election should render it necessary again
to change the year for the regular presi-
dental election.
We have presidential elections enough
now. Let us not provide for too many.
We do not think the Constitution forbids
such law as the one we suggest.

FLOOD IN THE SOUTH.

Rome. Ga, Observation-Disclosures Suspended
and the Rivers Still Rising.
A Rome, Ga, special says: The weird
lanterns Of bOatmen give additional gloom
TO the murky waters Of the Oostenaula and
Etowah rivers tonight as they move up and
down at level with the second-Story win
dows of more than bali the houses and
homes OF the Hill City. Rome is mum
dated with the most remarkable flood in the
history OF North Georgia. The waters
have now reached the height Of thirty
nine feet six inches above low-water
mark, and are slowly rising at the rate OF
about two inches an hour. The biggest
flood ever seen here was on the 18th of
March, 1881, which reached height OF
forty feet five inches, being eleven inches
higher than this one low is; but the pre-
sent inundation is in some respects the
most remarkable phenomenon of the sort
ever seen here. For two days the weather
has been most beautifully spring-like, but
all the while the rivers have been rapidly
rising. The floods 1egan on Monday
night. The clouds from which most OF this
water fell passed over Rome, taking north
eastern direction. 1t was n most terrific
nebular phenomenon. It's pitchy darkness

bosom played the most intense flashes OF
lightning, succeeding each other so rapidly
Us 10 make an almost unbroken illumina-
ton, at once dazzling aud terrifying. On
Tuesday morning the EtOwah was rising
at the rate Of fifteen inches an hour, while
the sun shone peacefully, as it has
done since, but the rivers have not
ceased to rise. Business is suspend
ed. The water-works are inundated,
and the gas-works are under water.
Tonight the city is dark, its dark
ness only being made the more visible by
the boatmen's lanterns. The post.Oflice
has been closed and abandoned and the
telegraph Office has removed to new quar-
tiers. There are no mails, and travel has
ceased.
Immense damage has been done to the
farms along the rivers. Many OF the farm
ers had planted their crops OF cotton and
corn. properly enriched by fertilizers, only
to have them swept away.
GBy Associated Press.l
ROME, GA, April 1S.-Inquiries having
been made concerning the reported flood
here, the following Is given as correct
statement: The lower portions OF Rome
were overlooked Wednesday. The food
lasted only one day, and very little damage
was done in the city. No lives were lost
and no houses or stock destroyed. The
damage to the new planted crops on the rich
river bottoms must be considerable. The
rivers are now everywhere within their
banks.

The Clarke Courier is mistaken when It
says that the Constitution prescribes no
qualifications for circuit judges and Su-
preme Court Judges. Article W., section
8, provides that the latter shall have prac-
ticed law In this or some other State for
five years. Section 4 prescribes the "same
qualifications" for circuit judges.
The Courier makes the following good
point:
"a man Of no learning, who can neither read
nor write can vote. yet IL cannot be doubted that
Legislature has the right 10 say that the ONCE of
Auditor shall only be filled by one VINO can read
and write, and who Is an experienced business
man ana skiiisd accountant. A person TO be
eligible 70 the 01oe Of county school superinten-
dent must be able 10 re I'd and write No person
c3n TO elected, or rs eligible TO the Office Of super
tntendent Of an asylum unless he h q physician.
la these Cases the Legislature, in the exercise Of
Its power, which In this respect Is not limited by
the Consultation, has undertaken 10 say that only
certain classes OF people shall be eligible 10 certain
Offices In its gtft. No one has ever questioned rs
right g say 50, nor indeed can any one do 50 sue
But The strongest illustration Of this
point is found in the cases Of hustings
Judges and probate judges. The Iegisla-
ture by law fixes their qualifications, the
Constitution being silent on the subject.
