Cotton In French SILKS.


ON THEIR WORK.
The debate In the French chamber on the free
admission OF cotton threads contained soma
passages edifying TO American consumers OF
French silks. M. Ballue, who Is deputy for
Lyons, said that the industry OF silk weaving
was going through a crisis which demanded the

attenuated. The situation of the silk weayers
had become intolerable. The employers had
made some concessions. The commencement
OF an accord between masters and men had
been arrived at but the chamber should COM
plete and consolidate it. NJ. Ballue contended
that In order to enable the Lyons silk weavers
10 compete with their foreign competitors it
was requisite TO allow the free importation
Into France ofthe English cotton threads used
In the manufacture of silk stuffs. The fashion
Tor the rich silk tissues had passed, and cheap
silks were In demand. In such silk m uch cotton
was introduced; indeed, in some cases, inferior
silk stufs had been made I'm which there was
a. much as 30 per cent Of cotton. The speaker
proceeded to say that the employers having TO

"OvERCOAT COLDS" is the appropriate
name given by that excellent medical
authority, the London Lancet, to form
of illness which is peculiarly prevalent
at this time of the year. A point made
clear by the Lancet is that let the over
coat be fashioned and ventilated as il
may, it does not prevent the undercloth-
ing from being saturated with moisture,
but actually tends to make the moisture
accumulate therein. This is proved by
the sense of genial warmth felt while
the overcoat is worn, and the evidences
sI perspiration easily perceived, under
the arms and at the sides of the chest
particularly, Immediately after the over
coat has been removed. 1t is opposed to
all the canoDs of health to allow the
clothing to be filed with perspiratien,
which is checked suddenly in the rapid
cooling of evaporation when the over
coat is taken off when entering the
house. thus causing colds. The sugges-
tion of the Lancet to remedy this almost
unavoidable evil is to wear no overcoat,
but only one coat, varying its thickness
to suit the weather. This il the Chinese
plan. They measure temperature by
clothing, saying: This is two-coat day
or a six-coat day. according to the de.
gree of cold.

Gen. Grants Horse Trade

In his memoirs, Gen. Grant reports q
story told of horse trade that he made
in his boyhood days, as follows: There
was Mr.. Ralston living within few
miles of the village, who owned colt
which very much wanted. My father
had offered $50 for it; but Ralston want
cd $25. l was so anxious to have the
colt that after the owner left begged to
be allowed to take him at the price de-
manded. My father yielded. but said 500
was all the horse was worth, and told
me to offer that price; if it was not ac-
cepted was to offer S22. 80, and if that
would not buy him. to give the $25. l
at once mounted horse and went for
the colt. When 1 got to Mr.. RalstoD's
house said to him, Papa says / may
offer you $40 for the colt, but if you
won't take that am to offer S225e, and
if you won't take that to give you S25.'
1t would not require Connecticut man
to guess the price finally agreed upon.
This story is really true. l certainly
showed very plainly that I had come for
the celt and meant to have him. could
not have been over eight years old at the
lime. kept the horse until he was four
years ldsEhen he went bliAd, and 1 sold
him for 800. When l went to Maysville
to school, in 1886, at the age of IA, rec
oguized him as one of the blind horses
working on the tread wheel of the ferry
boat"

THE Valley Virginian contains the fol
lowing: Democratic newspapers art
saying many brilliant things about the
assistance rendered the Democracy by
MssSrs. Sherman, Foraker and Mckinley
in their recent canvass of portions OF
Virginia. We know nothing of the ef-
fects of these visits in other portions OF
the State, but we do know that the
speeches of Judge Foraker in Staunton
Harrisonburg and Lexington made votes
for the Republican ticket, and put ne "
life and new spirit into the Republican
workers. The Democrats who heard
them were pleased. whilst the Republi>
cans were wild with delight. All we
wish is that Judge Foraker could have
spoken in every county in the Common.
wealth. His speeches were brave, manly,
able and convincing. and elected the
warmest praises from men of all parties.
They were just what the Virginia peo-
pie wanted to hear, and we're in bold
contrast with the personal abuse and
clap-trap with which they have been too
frequently regaled by the so-called ora
tors"

A DIsGRACEFUL story comes from
Quituan, Ga, which illustrates the ha-
tired entertained by Southerners for the
colored race more than anything that
has occurred for months. Some time
ago . number of Northern ladies, one of
whom was Mrs. R. B. Hayes, purchased
a abuildng at Quitman, and established a
seminary for colored girls. The negro
haters of Quitman objected to the loca>
ton of the institution there. and sson
after its opening an effort was made to
assassinate the principal. On Tuesday
night the building was set on fire, and
completely destroyed. Fortunately the
inmates escaped, but the intention of the
incendiaries evidently was that all
shonld perish. 1t does not sesm possible
that such bitter race prejudice could
exist anywhere in this country, but it
does not exist, and that fact Is being
brought more forcibly to the attention
of the North every day. The time is
fast approaching when the Southern
question must be met and settled fer all
time.
