African CURRENCY.

The African traveller, Oskar Lorenz,
found in the Sahara on rocks rude en-
cravings of the elephant and rhinoceros,
showing that these animals must at one
time have existed along with men
where all is now desert. At Timbuctoo
he remarked that it is not etiquette to
eat fish although the river abounds
with them. At the same city the. two
rival indigenous systems of African
currency come into collision-salt and
cowries. The history of the cowrie
trade is very curious. To remedy the
scarcity of the native circulating me-
dunn enormous importations have been
made from the Maldive Islands and
Zanzibar. The exchange averages 1000
cowries to dollar. The traveller
bought an ass for $4,000 cowries, and
as they each had to be counted, he
needed all the patience of his beast

The popular Scotch ginghams have their
beauty enhanced this year by embroidery
done all over the fabric in dots, blocks or
tiny raised spots or lines.
The newest spring wooleEs are rough,
soft materials oil English or Scotch manu-
factnre in preference to the moro dressy
and lustrous fabrics made in France. Z
For travelling. dresses for spring the
serges arc being made up with new over
dress that opens over o waistcoat and has
along straight skirt that nearly covers
the lowerskirt.
The ribbed 'fiannelettes and those with
plain surfaces are woolens OF light weight
and pleasant TO the touch, for either
house or street dress, and may be had in
white, black or coloH. s
The Isle Of Wight serges arc shown in
various twills, some OF which arc very fine
and close, while others arc slezy and have
rough effect, but are as soft to the touch
as the cancels hair stuGs. H
In new cotton fabrics II is noticeable
that light colors greatly outnnmOer the

For tho General Welfare.

The INrgIIIGRScER comments TO the
c.rornl attention of the Legislature the ar
tic,e Of Ex-Governor Pierpont on West
Virginia wild lands. The subject is one
10 which the Ex-Governor has devoted
much attention and painstaking inyesti-
cation. The INrRLLlGENcRR apprehends
that his premises will be conceded as cor
rect, laid deep and strong in the bIoadest
regard for the general welfare. II it be
granted that the wrong exists, aprogress-
i've people, through their representatives.
ought not to be slow to remove it.
Every West virginian knows that the
wild lands Of West Virginia, considered
with regard to their practical value to the
State. might as well be in South Africa.
Under the system OF assessment they are
not held TO increase in taxable value
though every year the nonresident owner
NAV rate them higher in his ASSETS
He would think himself ontrageons'y
robbed II he could be, and were, forced to
sell at double the official valuation, yet
practically his land lies in dead-handsl
producing absurdly small revenue to
county or State, contributing nothing to
DEVELOPMENT, nothing to civilization.
Elsa we'll known fact that in the pur'
chase OF these lands TO be held dead FOL
an indefinite time, no account is taken o.
taxes-tl.ey are SO small that the whole
cost OF Carrying a 10000 acre tract could
be saved on years cigar bill. The mo
ment these lands pass into the hands o
residents who make them productive ant
nut upon the stamp Of civilization theil
relation to the State changes and the
State assumes sterner attitude toward
them. Governor Pierpont's article makes
clear the rank injustice and impolicy o
this discrimination.
The wilder titles to much OF the vile
land are by.word and a rcproach in tlt
markets OF the world. Only the other day
the IsrRlLldRScGR noticed with mortilica
ton in an exchange this suggestive illus
tration-"as delusive as West Virginia
land title." While titles which are ne
titles are piled on top Of each other, rep
rcsenting in great part land which has ne
existence outside OF these titles, 1t is idle
10 try 10 make the world understand tina
We arc not a community OF land sharks
eager to prey upon the unwary, or OF per
sons too listless and ignorant to straighter
out complications OF long.standing.
There are INSCRIPTIONS persons, here
and elsewhere, who have been driving
considerable trade in worthless land titles
until now it is extremely difficult TO find
purchasers for excellent land Of low price
and title unassailed and unasaailablc. II
by one stroke the Legislature cen silence
this scandal and make the lands fairly
productive to the State, it ought not tc
hesitate to make use Of the suggestion
No matter OF greater moment has been
brought TO the notice OF our Lawmakers.
