Peanuts.

Nearly all the peanuts that are brought
to this market come from Virginia A
good many are grown in Tennessee, too,
but the central point of the peanut raising
business, which is one of the greatest in
dustries of the State, though of very
recent growth, is at Norfolk, Va. In
old times-15 years ago-all the peanuts
were imported from Africa. The Afri-
can peanut was small and round, the
shell containing usually but single
kernel he.American peanut is simply
the African nut modified by the condi.
tions Of the soil in this country. The
best peanuts are hand-picked; others are
threshed out like grain. In Norfolk
there are several factories where peanuts
arc prepared for the market. They are
first thoroughly cleaned and then sorted.
The bad ones are picked out by young
girls who stand on either side of a wide
revolving belt on which the nuts are
thrown. Afterward they are packed in
bags and shipped to the market. Pea
nuts have become recognized article Of
commerce, and are quoted every day on
change like corn or wheat. They sell,
wholesale, at from 81 to cents pound.
Best hand-pick fetch about cents usu
ally. Spanish peanuts, an imported arti
Gle, sell for higher price, frequently as
much as 20 cents pound. Peanuts are
largely used to make alleged olive oil.
Not more than fourth part Of the olive
oil sold In this country is real generally
1t is made either Of peanuts or cottonsecd.
The only way to distinguish peanut from
olive oil is to put nitric acid into II. The
peanut or cottonseed oil will char, bu,
the real olive oil will not. Most of the
peanuts grown in Africa nowadays are
sent to Marseilles and expressed for oil
The latter Is sold as low grade OF olive

Fraud Not sectional, but Democratic.

Fraud Not Sectional, but Democratic.
There are thousands of men who have
very recently had their attention called
to this matter fraud in elections). Be-
cause the evil has been confined chiefly to
the South, those who would ignore this
great wrong and danger have labored to
make 1t appear as sectional issue raised
by Republicans. Later developments
have deprived it Of its sectional bearing.
1t is now danger wherever Democratic
influences are in the ascendant. No
more fragrant outrages have been perpe-
trated upon suffrage than those which
have been brought to light in Chicago
and Cincinnati under the Harrison and
Mclean regimes. In these cities the
frauds perpetrated and the violences and
outrages committed by their tools were
as fragrant as any that nave been com
mitted in the South in recent days, while

as unscrupulous as they well could be-

Indian Summer.

Indian summer, which is now upon us,
is by many considered the most delight
full season of the year. The softened
tints of the landscape, beautiied by the
blended colors of dying vegetation, are
charming and ravishing to the eye. An
agreeable haziness pervades the atmos-
phere, tempering the rays Of the sun, de-
stroying the glare without lessening its
brightness. This season is glorious one,
when the physical nature exults in o
jubilant and abounding vitality. 1t is a
time of outdoor sports and enjoyment,
of rural merriment, nutting parties, corn
huskings, pumpkin gatherings, opossum
huntings, leaf gatherings-these and
many more delightful sports and recre,
ations are peculiar to this season of the
year. 1t is the period when the fruits OF
the earth are gathered; 1t is the culmina.

The popularity of the atmosphere has
been attributed to various causes. BY
some it is thought to be the exhalationi

praciiced; the surface Of the earth had been
adorned with large cities and stately edl-
fees Of these interesting subjects full par
ticulars have been faithfully transmitted
to posterity, except such as relate to Jewish
laws and institutions, some scattered hints
respecting ancient commerce and some ex-
cellent specimens Of writing in the Proph-
cts and Psalms. In those venerable monu-
ments Of antiquity, the sacred writings, we
trace the Israelites from the patriarchal
ages, though the turbulent times OF bar
barrie ignorance to considerable degree
of civilization and refinement. OF their
civil and religious institutions We have
clear and explicit account; of their knoWl-
edge of the arts and sciences we possess
little information. The Jews do not seem
to have been a scientific or philosophical
nation in any period Of their history. They
appear to have been sufficiently skillful IN
the art, OF necessity and oonveniency; but
not to have made much proficiency in those
of luxury and ornament. Some admirable
specimens Of literature are presentedin the
scriptures, especially in the writings of the
Prophets and in the Psalms. In the histor-
ical books we observe plainness Of style,
conciseness of narrative, and uncommon
perspicuity in the didactical pieces. The
| writing Of the prophets are chiefly poetlcal,
very different and all original. Most Of
them display sublime sentiments, expressed
with energy of diction and decorated with
oriental imagery.
In the patriarohal ages commerce was
so far known and exercised that gold and
| silver we're used as the medium by which it
was regulated. In the tumnltous time
which succeeded the patriarchal we obtain
| very little information concerning the state
of commerce. We have no reason to think
that commerce was in very aourishipg state
among the Jews. In times Of remote an
tiquity the mechanic arts and various kinds
of manufactures had made considerable
from the curious and rich materials Of the
tabernacles and Of the high priests gar
ments. The Israelites no doubt brought
from Egypt much Of their knowledge Of
arts and sciences and literature; for the
Egyptians had from time immemorial been
gradually advancing in learning and oivi-
lization, and during the greater part OF the
period now under contemplation were IA
nous for the excellence Of their civil policy,
the extent and population Of their cities,
the magnificence of their public edifces
and the fourishing state Of their agricul-
ture. In all these respects the Egyptians
were distinguished above all the contem-
porary nations Of antiquity.

ogy, Maurice's Indian Antiquities, Raj

The Omaha Republican says: To S.
r. Galloway, general manager of the
Union Pacific, more than any other man
belongs the credit for a peaceful and vic
torious settlement of the difficulties at
Rock Springs and the mining camps
where so much excitement and trouble
was created not long since over the
Chinese miners. The bloody assault
at Rock Springs in which several China
men were killed and all their property de-
stroyed, was denounced by him in such
strong terms that all sorts OF villainous
threats were made against him and the
road by the dynamiters who upheld and
sympithized with the laxless r%uliians in
their outrageous and murderous work.
But MIR. Galloway, was not the kind Of a
man to be frightened. He took a firm
and positive stand in the matter and de-
clared that the inoifensive citizens should
be protected at any hazard, aud they were
protected. He patiently heard and re-
phci ~ al tue htliAllus Allh dUltdlH VI
the riotous parties, but they received
very little consolation. Mr.. Galloway
simply gave them to Understand that the
men properly authorized to do that work
would manage the affairs Of the Union
Pacific road. and that all employees would
be treated with the greatest respect so
long as they behaved themselves. After
being thus convinced that it was not safe
to monkey with the buzz-saw the miners,
at least those who the company would
permit to 20 back, returned. went to
work, and now everything is moving along
in fine shape. The output of coal is
larger than it ever was before, and moles-
tations have entirely ceased. The victory
for Mr.. Galloway is a splendid one.

James Lane, foreman for Searight
Bros, who sold out last spring to Carey
Bros, is in the city on his way to Texas.
Mr.. Lane says he has tailed u and turn
ed over to the purchasers during the
round ups, 1000 head of cattle, although
one half the range has not been worked.
From the number of cattle sold by the
Searight Bros. l, 400 have been shipped
this season, The books call for IS, 900 head,
Mr.. Lane believes the next years round
ups will complete the number called
for.
In the past eight years Americans have
paid to English breeders nearly 81, 600, 600.
To this must be added the cost of trans
p%ortation and quarantine expenses, max
ing nearly 81, 500, 900. The breeding of
thoroughbred cattle is becoming a success
throughout the western states and terri
tories and home breeders will profit there
by.
In a few years American breeders will
be exporting to every part OF the world,
draft horses for breeding purposes.
A. Martin, agent for a cattle company,
has sold to Henry Thompson, of Crow
Creek, the entire II brand of cattle
to the number of 200 head.

owners Of Wyoming left the city yester-

The National stock Growers Conveu
tIOn at Chicago.

The National Stock Growers eonyen-
ton met in annual session in Chicago
Wednesday, and Wyoming is well repre-
sented both in the strength aud ability of
its delegation.
Among the representatives from this
territory are Hon. A. II. Swan, Hon. j.
NJ. Carey, Thomas Sturpis, o. C. Wade,
c. A. Campbell +. Narle. A. Gilchrist,
II. S. Manville, J. S. Gardner and other
prominent stock men.
1t is understood that the plan which is
now on foot among some of che New
Mexico and Colorado cattlemeu to organ
lie a range stock association to be COM
posed exclusively of cattlcmen who have
cattle on the ranges west of the Missouri
river was gaining in favor. One delega-
ton said that one of the objects which the
Wyoming delegation will have in view is
this very matter, and he predicts hal the
time is not far distant when such an as
ISOLATION will be formed,
The difference in the interests Of the
range stock owners and those of the farm
and others who raise and market cattle
principally by stall feeding did not con
duce to entire harmony between the two
classes. For this reason it is thought by
some of The leading cattlemen of Wyo-
ming, that a separation of the two classes
so lar as being associated together in
a national way would be beneficial to
both.
1t is not contemplated that an organiza-
ton of this kind would supplant the
Wyoming Stock Growers Association, or
any territorial or state association, but that
it will combine these organizations for the
purpose OF a Hopping and enfor eng moro
stringent quarantine regulations than can
be adopted where the range, dairy and
corn feed interests are all represented as
in the present national associations.
Anything that will tend in any way to
disintegrate the Wyoming Stock Growers
Association or any Of the state or terrific
rial associations will be properly avoided
and the range association, if organized,
will be organized on the basis of represen-
tation from the different associations,
$500 head as the basis for each repre-
sentative.
