Hats was that they were
formerly made entirely of
the fur of that animal, the

on, and formin G a con-

The modern method has
discontinued the use of the
bow-string, and the body
now formed of fur by the
aid of shellac is covered
with a fine silk plush, much
more lustrous than the old
style fur hat. Our styles of
Silk Hats are specially made
for us in shapes that con-
form to fashion, and at the

between the Cabinets of Russia

of the March agreement, it has
been decided to submit the ques-

agreed to resume the frontier ne
gotiation, but on a different basis,
namely, that the principal points
Of the frontier be fixed by a pre-
vious understanding between the
Cabinets, the demarkation of the
frontier on the spot and the plac-
ing of indicating posts being re-
served for the commission, which
both powers will send, in order to
facilitate its work of delimitation.
The outposts of both sides will not
be withdrawn from their positions
until after the arrival of the joint
commission, when as fast as the di.
rection of the frontier line is fixed
the frontier points will be occu.
pied BY the troops of both parties
concerned. 1t will then be the
duty of each to maintain order
and security in its respective ter
ritory.

Russians as Fighters.
Washington Dispatch


The prospects of war between
England and Russia have been
watched with a good deal of inter
est here. The fighting qualities
of the two nations and of the men
of each are talked over, and
there is a general feeling that
while Englishmen have a reputa-
tiOn for hard fighting, they will
find the Russians equally brave
when it comes to a question of
personal hand to hand fighting
qualities. In this connection the
peculiar evidences of personal
bravery of the Russians in person.
al encounters is matter of some
interest. In no countries are du-
els more frequent or more mur-
derous than in Russia; the Rus.
slams being, especially when in
their cups, as quarrelsOme among
themselves as they are proverbi.
ally courteous to foreigners. The
mode of combat universally adopt
ed is that termed the duel la
barriere, the opponents being put
at 10 PAGES, with liberty to ad.
vance o PAGES each at given sig
nal and to fire at will. Should
one of them fire and miss, his ad-
versary is entitled to complete his
5 PAGES before returning the shot.
Many cases have been known in
which a duelist, though mortally
wounded, has yet retained sufli.
cient strength to take steady aim
and fire with fatal effect. The
great Russian poet, Pushkin, was
killed in a duel la barriere, after
severely wounding his antagonist.
In the Baltic provinces q system
prevails which at sight appears
even more murderous. The ad-
versaries are placed only three
PAGES apart; the pistols are held
with the muzzles pointing upward,
and are brought down and dis.
charged at given signal. 1t may
appear almost impossible for two
men to miss each other also short
a distance, but this is not the case
Each of the opponents is so des'
perately anxious to gam even the
least fraction of q second on his
adversary that on the signal being
given the weapons are often
brought down with so hurried and
violent a jerk that the bullets bury
themselves in the ground.

The OhIo AppOrtIOnment.
Democrats Think They Will Garry the Next
legislature.

"The Democrats of Ohio,n says
the Washington Star, ''feel that
they have an advantage in the
contest for the Legislature next
fall, in the system of spportion-
ment which prevails in the State.
Under the Constitution there is
an appOrtiOnment every ten years,
and as a natural consequence no
matter what the ratio of represen-
tation may be. there are counties
which have fractions of it. The
membership representing these
fractions is changed about among
the counties, thus equalizing the
representation. For portion of
the decade for which the appor.
tionment is made certain counties
are allotted two members, which
is more than they are literally en-
titled to, while other counties have
but one member, being less than
their proper share. Then for the
remainder of the decade this ar.
rangement is reversed by allowing
the counties that had only one
member to elect two, and reduc-
ing those which had two to one.
This averages the representation.
Under this system nineteen strong
Democratic counties will get an
increase of one member each,
while only seven Republican coun-
ties will be benefited by the
changes at the coming election.
Some of the Democratic leaders
think this advantage, coming at
this time. will enable them to ear.
ry the Legislature. even should
they lose Hamilton county. AS
the Legislature to be chosen will
elect a United States Senator to
succeed Mr.. Sherman, the contest
to control it will be an earnest one
on both sides.n

A Farm Cotton Seed Will.
lSouthern Reveille.l

There is one invention on exhi.
bition at the Exposition that we
would advise every farmer from
this section to examine when he
visits New Orleans. 1t is a small
cotton seed mill adapted to farm
use. We do not know its capac.
ity or its costliness, but from the
description given we presume that
it cannot be very costly and that
its capacity is adequate to the de-
mands of the average plantation.
The New Orleans City Item speaks
Of 1t as follows:
"a machine has recently been
constructed at Holyoke. Mass,
which is expected to do wonders
for the South. 1t is for the pur-
pose of grinding cotton seed into
meal, and to extract the oil from
the seed. 1t occupies q space Of
about 10 feet square and Is inches
acress the top. With the help of
this machine the cotton planters
will be able to keep and feed their
stock during the winter, aud by
using y small press they can make
their own oil which sells in crude
state at 40 cents per gallon. AT
present a good part of seed is
thrown away, and some planters
have to sell off their stock in the
fall for want of feed during the
winter. With sorghum and corn
to help out, cotton seed meal is
excellent. The new machine
should have a rapid sale among
cotton planters.n

CATTLE IN THE SOUTH.


II is only lately that the advan-
tages of the South as a cattle
country have been fully under
stood and appreciated. There
formerly existed a belief that the
South was not adapted to the pro-
duction of hay, aud eonsequ emily
a poor section for cattle. One ag-
ricultural paper even went so far
as to assert that hay could not be
proftably produced at points be-
low "a north latitude. On this
point all doubts have now been
set at rest. Plentiful native grass
es grow throughout the South.
Arkansas for instance, has over a
hundred varieties exhibited at the
Exposition, Texas even more. and
Mississippi nearly as many. AS
far as feed goes, hays, alfalfa, peas,
etc, the South is as well able to
support cattle as any portion of
the world.
The belief that it was not adapt.
ed to cattle is founded entirely
on the fact that the cattle
brought here from the North
require acclimatization, and fire.
quently suffer indisposition be-
fore they become accustomed to
the country. Once acclimated,
however, they are as sturdy and
as stong as the native stock, do
not deteriorate, but continue
blooded and excellent animals.
At the same time the South en-
joys many important advantages
as a cattle raising country. Its
winters are short; the deep SHOWS
aud cold blasts of the North are
unknown; the grass is fresh and
abundant throughout the greater
portion of the year and the cattle
require less attention than else.
where. With cheaper food, less
care, less attention, cattle can be
produced far more cheaply in the
South than the North. That they
can be raised successfully here
Texas is proof. The cattle of the
South is being improved by cross.
ing with the better grades every
year. If properly handled, cattle
raising can be made an important
industry of this section, enlarge
the field of the Southern farmer
and save him from concentrating
himself too much on cotton.

A Queer Marriage Ceremony
lExcllange.l

lbAOhdhSV'l
In the northwestern part of
Sumner county, Tenn, lives an
Irish magistrate, a man Of liberal
education and a full quota of that
mother wit for which his nation is
remarkable. A short time ago a
colored pair, named Jim and Bet,
called upon the Squire to be unit
ed, "for better or worse" proba-
bly, the latter. Having had some
notice oftheir coming, he prepared
and actually used the following
unique ceremony:
"Jlm, will you take Bet
without any regret.
TO love and to cherish,
Till one Of you perish.
And laid under the sod.
SO help you, God?"
Jim having given the usual affir-
native answer, Squire r. turned
to Bet:
"Bet, will you take Jim
And cling to him,
Both out and in,
Through thick and thin;
Holding him to your heart,
Till death do you part?"
Bet modestly acquiesced, and
the newly married couple were
dismissed with this stopper over
all:v
"Thro' life's alternate joy and strife
now pronounce you man and wife.
Go up lfe's hill till you get to the level,
And salute your bride, you rusty black
devill"
