What We Need.

What the State needs, what the
South needs, is not men who with
folded arms stand and gaze at the gor-
geous sunset, and weave fancy after
fancy into bright tissue of hope for
the future; no, we need men who will
concentrate their whole energies on
the development of our resources, and
who will make the path which leads
to the power and prosperity of the
South 50 plain that none will hesitate.

A Move in the Right Direction.

E. A Ford, general passenger agent of the
Pennsylvania lines, has taken an advance step
in the way of bringing about better mainte-
nance of rates Under date of April he sends
circular to the general passenger agents of the
roads in the Middle and Western States in
which he says: ''At the general passenger
agents meeting (adjourned from Indianapolis)
to be held at Southern Hotel, ST. Louis, No.,
Thursday, 9th instant next day after time
table meetng) in addition to regular business, /
would propose to bring up the question of east
bound rates from Chicago, ST. Louis, lndanap-
oils. Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, ct cetera,
as we'll as the subject of rates through those
points from the West and South, with view of
harmonizing our differences and in the hope of
complete restoration to equal tariffs by all lines.
| therefore urge that it is important that all
parties Interested, who will agree with this
similar proposition should attend the meeting,
prepared to remain long enough to accomplish so
desirable result-provided such result can be
reached within a reasonably extended confer
ence."
The Results VIII Be Watched Will. Interest.
Nothing has occurred in railroad circles for
many month which has created much talk
as the putting on by the Pennsylvania people of
a limited express, between New YORK and st.
Louis, of a similar character to those run be-
tween New York and Chicago. With
line 100 miles shorter than its
competitors, the surprise has been
that such action was not taken years ago
Speculation is rife as to what the results of this
step will be. Some predict general demoraliza

OYSTERS our OF WATER.
How They Can Be Kept Fresh FROM
Eight TO Twelve weeks.

How They Can Be Kept Fresh From
Eight TO Twelve weeks.
In the Bulletin Of the United States
Commission, Prof. A. E. Eerrill says:
My attention was recently called BY
Captain G. ii. Townsend to large clus-
ter Of oysters attached to an old boot
which had been hanging in the front
windows of the fish market of Charles
Reed. in this city, for . long time. This
cluster was taken from the water in the
early part Of December, 1884 (about the
10th, it is said). and when I examined
1t on February 25th, several of the
larger oysters were still alive. L am
told that they continued to live for some
days afterward. The larger ores, which
were still alive, were of about the size
ordinarily sold in the market. Most of
the smaller ones We're dead, and MANY
or the larger ones, of which the
edges had been broken or
Clipped, were dead and dried up
when l saw them. Those that were
alive had all been hung up with the
front edge of the shell doacn and the
hinge upward. They had been hang
ing in the show window, attached to a
gas burner, during the whole time cover

and light. The room was, of course.
rather cool, as such shops ually are
in winter, and the window space, al
though ope freely to the shop. was
doubtless still cooler, especially at
night. but the air must have been dry
and the temperature quite variable.
The window faces to the west. and
would have direct sunlight in the AFTER
noon. The remarkable duration of the
life of these oysters is undoubtedly due
to two causes:
l. The perfect condition of the
edges of the shells. which allowed them
to close up very tightly.
2 The position. suspended as they
were, with the front edge downward.
is the most favorable position for the
retention of water within the gill cav
ity, for in this position the edges of
the mantle would closely pack against
the inner edges of the shell, effectually
closing any small leaks, and the re-
tanned water would also be in the most
favorable position to moisten the gills,
even after part had cvaporated. 1t is
also possible that when in this position
the oyster instinctively keeps the shell
tightly closed, to prevent the loss Of
water.
This incident may give hint as to
the best mode of transporting oysters
and CLAIMS long distances. Perfect
shells shouil be selected, and they
should be packed with the front edge
dosonaoard, and kept moderately cool. in
a crate or some such receptacle which
will allow free circulation of air.
Under such favorable conditions Sc
lected oysters can doubtless be kept
from eight to twelve weeks out of water.

found that France was held bv the
Chinese in but small fear and distrus,
compared with another power Russia.
The Chinese fought the French over
the Tonquin question less for the sake
of any sentimental hankering after.the
suzerainty of Anam than for the not un-
reasonable object of teaching European
powers that to make an aggressive
movement upon China was an expen-
not likely to lead to profit or strengthen
the aggressive power. The Chinese
were well aware of French aims and
aspirations from the commencement OF
the Tonquin affair. They knew that the
French political agents had instigated
their Government to acquire Tonquin,
not SO much for the value of the
country as a possession, but as a
base from which they could proceed
to gradually dismember Southern China,
during periods of rebellion, and thus
add Chinese provinces to their Indo-
Chinese Empire. Ii it were'her object to
read a salutary lesson to the French she
seems to have abundantly justified her
policy; for costly as the war has been
to China it has relatively been much
more costly to France, and may prove
still more costly in the future. Russia
is the onlv power feared by China. She
has closely studied and watched the
forward progress of Russia, and. what.
ever the peace-at-any-price people and
humanitarians may think about Russia's
not being an aggressive power, China
herself entertains no doubt whatever as
to what Russla's aims are. and what
her own duty is as regards Russia--to
be ready to defend herself by force of
arms. While in China found the idea
in favor with Chinese statesmen, and
spontaneously expressed in the native
Chinese press, that defensive alliance
should be formed with England against
Russia, the traditional and inevitable
enemy of both, and the sound sense of
the Cinnamon not only immediately
realized this, but also that the
only way to bring about any permanent
alliance was to develop the communities
tons, aud thus the intercourse and COM
me ce, between the two empires of In
dia and China. In this basis of COM
mon and permanent interests, cemented
by increasing commercial connection,
they saw the prospects of an alliance
which would prove more trustworthy in
their opinion than all the paper treaties
ever executed. China has not forgotten
how Russia filched from her the large
territory of Manchooria in 1858, the
fatherland of the imperial family, when
she had been brought to her knees by the
lo-French expedition, nor how Rus
sia annexed Kuldja some years back,
which, however. China compelled her
to evacuate. Russia is the source of
distrust and dread of all Chinese states
men, as we'll she may be, and a burn
ing. ranking wound in the breast of
the Manchoos. There is no object
China would fight for aud make sacri-
fees like war against Russia in which
she could hope to thrust back Russia
from the Pacific beyond the Amoor.-
