The Lynchbnrg Virginian sounds
the key note to the success of the
South in the following well pointed re-
marks: " The day has passed by
when the South should indulge the
absurd prejudices which formerly ex-
listed between the sections. We are
one country and one people, with one
common interest uniting and binding
Us indissolubly together. The man of
business is always cosmopolitan in his
feelings as well as in his opinions.
The South is becoming better &C
quainted with the North and the
North with the South, and the result
is that each thinks better of the other.
Could we get rid of few hundred
sectional and party agitators in each
State, it would be happy day for the
whole country. These men, for their
own selfish purpose, are continually
agitating the people and exciting their
prejudices and passions to greater or
less extent. The day for these things
has passed and gone forever, we hope.
The business of this country cannot
be conducted upon any sectional basis,
and the man or men who attempt to
do it will make a signal failure"

Thos. B. Barnes, in the establishment

Barnes skill as a mechanic is nm

NOTWITHSTANDING the Rayne Signal
considers Calcasieu parish poor place
for farming. it stands on the list Of
productive parishes il the State only
three notches from the top. The Sig
nal might gain something by under
standing that "pulling down your
friend and neighbor to build up ones
self" is q very poor way to gain pop
ularity. The Signal may compliment
itself ten years hence, if by well
directed efforts It succeeds in making
of Acadia, all told, 10 wealth what the
lumber interests alone of Lake Charles
represents TO day. Bro. Dason will
sharpen his pencil and scratch bis edi-

Acadia can be compared TO Calcasieu,

When the South gets home mar
ket for it's farm fruits and produce,
and has its monopoly Of the cotton
crop besides, it will become the richest
agricultural country inthe world. The
South will become great manufactur-
ing section /; and this, more than any
thing else combined, will bring pros
perity to the Southern farmer and
high value to his lands. So soon as
the South secured home rule the PEG.
pie manifested the industry and actiy-
ity which enabled them to prosecute
the war for four years against odds
which nothing but pluck and energy
could have SO long resisted. Never
did a country rise SO rapidly from the
ashes as the South has risen since the
Southern States emerged from the re-
construction era, and passed under the
control Of the tax-paying white people.

A VERY SHARP GAME.
Bucket-ShOpS Beaten Out of Sums VariouSly
Estimated at from $27 900 to $500

CHICAGO, Oct. j6.-A local paper this morning
saws that very sharp game was played on one
or more Kansas City bucket-shops on Thursday
and that somebody made large sum at their
expense. 1t appears that on Thursday after
noon, Norton Sc Worthington, Board of Trade
brokers, bought 1,25O, 900 bushels of corn, May
delivery, on the board, and also bulled the mar
ket from 42a cents to 43s cents. When the lat
ter figure was reached, Mr.. Worthington, who
was doing the trading, walked into his Office
Immediately returned, and in less, then FIVE nin
utes from his last purchase was selling out the
lot he had just bought. While ne
was gone the market dropped to 434
cents, and his offer was at ABB cents
The market rapidly declined. and by the time he
had unloaded the 1,25O,000 bushels the market
had reached its original figures There was
considera bic comment the proceeding, and
the general opinion on the board was thatlsome-
body had blundered. Yesterday leading bro
ker received a dispatch from a Kansas City
bucket-shop, asking if Norton 81 Worthington
had really bought largely, claiming that the
bulling of the market was part of scheme to
beat the bucket-shops by buying at the opening
price and selling at 43s cents The broker tele-
graphed back that the firm had bought largely
kilograms were received by members yesterday,
saying that the bucket-shops had refused to set
tie at 43a cents, alleging sharp dealing and no
legitimate market at that price 1t is said by
Board of Trade men, however, that they will
have to settle. There was a decided sensation
on the board yesterday when the matter became
known. 1t was new scheme, and very pie.
Somebody at Kansas City bought largeaquanti-
ties of corn at opening prices tslegraphna to
Chicago to buy largely, bulled the market here
and sold the second the Chicago market reached
Kansas City. The expense of Incorporation was
less than $5000 in commissions, and losses. here,
while the profits are reported at from $4,000 to
$780, 000 Norton & Worthington saysshat they
simply followed an ordinary order, and knew
nothing of other deals or circumstances. One
report is that but one Kansas City bucket-shor
was mulcted, and that the receipts at that end
were $27 600. Another was that three shops in
Kansas City andon or more in Minneapolis had
been worked with profit of about $80.000.

One whom ] saw hard at it was yourg. and fair,
and slender; but grief had marked her for his
own. The long folds of crepe on the black
dress, and the double veil falling almost to her
faet, told a sorrowful tale. A little GIRL pe-
haps eight years old. called the young creature
Mamma" She was also dressed in unrelieved
black, with huge bows of crepe on her hat, and
black gloves that covered the whole of her
plump little arms 1t was like pathetically
twice-told tale as the mother and child moved
through the gay throng But there was one
mitigating feature which saved the systamatic
observer from too great heartache; the young
woman's ears were adorned with dia-
monds of uncommon size and brill
fancy, her crepe throat band was claSped
with dazzling diamond brooch and the cnild's
small ears bore each diamond supposed to be
suited to their size. They were out shopping,
and were examing bright etching silks and gay
pushes The silks flowed over the sombre
gloves and down the crepe skirt in unreleDting
brightness, and the diamonds flashed in the lieht
as if grief was never known in tho world. What
had this mourning couple to do with those showy
fabrics9 Denied by autocratic custom a use OF
colo-s on their persons, they might be solacing
themselves By purchasing for others not so af-
hicted as themselves, or for home decoration,
where colors are not forbidden. Verify, grief
has its mitigations. 1t can go shopping. and
