Origin of a Peerags.


An anccdote in the Grevillc memoirs
gives an edifying idea as to why peers of
england may come to exist;
Mr. Grenvillo one day asked his
cousin. Lord Glastonbury, what had in
duced him to get made peer for he
could not think he had ever cared much
for a title lie said God devil for such
it seems, was his queer habit of express
ing himself I'll tell you. never thought
sQf peerage; but one day took up the
newspaper, and read in it that Tommy
Srownshcnd was made peer. Confound
the fellow, said |, what right had lie to be
made peer, should like to know. Why,
l am as rich again as he is. and have a
much better right So l resolved to write
to Pitt and tell him so. | wrote and was
made peer the following week.

Georglas Marble Mines.
or. Atlanta Constitution

What has been done in Vermont is DOS.
sible in Pickens In and about Rutland,
Vt, 5000 workmen are engaged In the
marble trade. Why shall there not be
5000 skilled or hardy toilers in Pckens,
where the beds are simply exhaustless,
the colors of the rock more varied and
the conditions of mining less expensive
and difficult?
1t is not known how many acres or
rather miles, of marble there are in the
field, because it has not been fully ex-
plored, but it is known that the supply is
equal to all demands, present or prospect
i've. Within a few yards of one another
are found the various colors known
in the marble trade namely, the
pink, the amber, the white and blue,
the white, and blue tinged with white,
and the variegated red, white and blue
They are all there in great thick layers
without seam or flaw. The pink quarry
of the Georgia marble company is but "a
step" from the quarries of blue and gray
marbles. The quality Of even the surface
layers is said to be acceptable to dealers;
and the experts say that when the quarry
is deeper pure white statuary marble will
be found in abundance. If this should
prove to be the case Pickens county will
quite overlook the thin stratas Of Yer
mont, and prepare to do battle with the
boulders of Italy in the markets of the
world.

Use of PoIsons iu Manufacturing.

Therei is no law whatever against the use
of poisons in manufacturing in this coun.
try. There are such laws in European
countries, and it only remains for public
opinion here to settle whether goods thus
adulter-ted shall or shall not be exposed
for sale to the enlargement of the com
munity. Germany has a stringent act
against the employment of poisons in the
preparation of food, drink, or articles
covering them, toys, paper hangings and
wearing apparel Russia prohibits their
manufacture and importation. Sweden
had in addition, prohibition of the sale of
arsenic and strychnine for any purpose,
even upon prescription; but this was
modified in 1888, though the law now is
more stringent than in the other countries
named Austria prohibits certain colors
in articles of food whether containing
poisons or not France and England only
are in line with the United States in this
regard, thou Sh strenuous efforts have
been made in England to induce parlia-
ment TO act in the matter.

The Strike on the Illinois Central

quence no trains have been able to
leave the yards. The side tracks are
filled with cars, for which no crews
can be obtained, and their number II
being rapidly increased by those COM
ing in, the crews deserting immediately
after arrival in the city, The strikers
first demanded an increase Of wages
from $45 per month to $50 per month";
then they asked for IL cents per mile.
with allowance for Sundays and over
time. Neither demand has been !
granted and the strikers say they have
made all arrangements they intend to
make, and that any new move must
originate with the officials Of the com
pany.
General Superintendent Jetfry, Of
the Illinois Central railroad, says that
two freight trains will be sent out this
afternoon manned by officers Of the
company, and will be taken out by
Assistant Secretary Seymour and the
assistant train master. Mr.. Jeffry
said If the strikers would not be reas
enable in their demands he should at
once put on new hands and start the
trains under police protection. The
strikers scoff at the idea Of the COM
pany's being able to do this fand threat
ems trouble should any attempt be
made.
Shortly after 2 o'clock the freight
train manned by the assistant superin-
tendent and other officers Of the road,
and consisting Of thirty-seven cars
loaded with freight for southern points
was started from the yard. Ithad not
proceeded far when it was boarded by
number of strikers who took COM
plete possession of it and ran it into
side track, about mile from the yard.
A second train was started about 2
p.m., but got no further than Forty
third street, where it was side-tracked
by tie strikers as was the FIRST 0nta
AS far as was known no violence was
used. At pm. Superintendent Beck
telegraphed to the chief of the Hyde
Park police to send a detail of men to
move the trains.
