NOT many years ago the government OF
India offered prize of 81, 900 Tor a machine
that would successfully prepare the fiber OF
the ramie plant tltiseXceedingly 1t difficult aud
expensive to work the plant in its dried state,
as % tons, or full years growth of one acre.
Will at best yield but one ton of the prepared
fiber Unavoidable stale, and by the dried pro-
cess there is a loss of 20 to - per cent OF this
which adheres so firmly to the inside woody
pith that it cannot be recovered. And hy
the process now in use the fibre is so dis
colored as to seriously impair its commercial
value.
DR.. r. II. Colyer, of New Orleans, has sue
ceeded in inventing a machine that answers
all the requirements and has won the prize,
but this Is but the first drop of a heavy
shower OF good fortune that will come to DR..
Colyer and to the people of the Southern
states through this invention tor the cult.
vation OF the ramie plant will before many
years add largely to the agricultural wealth
of that region, and the manufacture OF
material from its fiber will add greatly to our
industrial prosperity. The ramie, or China
grass, 1t is succulent. plant the product OF
marshy lands, allied to Jute, consisting oi the
cortex containing the fiber protected by an
outer fesh-Color covering, and the inver
pithy core. 1t yields three full crops OF
eight tons each to the acre per year under
favorable circumstances. 1t is a native OF
India, but can be readily cultivated in the
Southern states when the means OF working
the fiber are once provided.
Mr.. Kirk, OF Pittsburg, who built the sue.
cessful machine for the inventor, and is in
terested in it, says there are but % acres of
this plant now cultivated in the United States
but that his machine will make many acres of
waste low Land capable ola $500 annual yield.
bis plan is to erect shops and manufacture
his machine in Pittsburg, and thus his sue
cess will be tributary to the welfare and pros
perity Of his own home city.

REFORMATORY SCHOOL.

1t sometimes becomes the duty of
public journalists to take up matters
which they would much rather let
alone, and to say disagreeable things
when selfish regard for their own
feelings would dictate silence. Such
is our position at the present time.
For months past we have known,
from personal observation as well as
the unimpeachahle testimony of a
long list of credible witnesses, that
local public institution, the Re-
formatory School, has been and is
being conducted in manner dis
creditable to the superintendent,
extremely annoying to the people of
the neighborhood, and demoralizing
to the inmates. But we were hope
ful that very gentle hint, consider
inc the nature of the case, conveyed
through these columns several weeks
ago. would have had the effect of
reforming the Reform school. Our
hopes have been disappointed.
! About the only effect of our mild
treatment being to increase the
looseness Of the extremely loose
tongue of the Superintendent, and
set it wagging with renewed energy
all around the town in abuse of his
predecessor. We are sorry for it..
Sorry that our hopes respecting an
improved condition of affairs result
ing from our hint have been dis
appointed. Not sorry one bit for
the ex-Superintendent, for abuse
from that source will not injure him
a trihe, either in his feelings OF
character, and as to his ten years
supervision OF the institution, he is
not ashamed of his record. We re-
gret very much that it becomes oul
duty to rev ert again 10 matter sc
distasteful to our feelings, but ac,
cept it as an unpleasant duty. l,
certainly is the duty of the Board ol
Education, in whose department thu
institution is, to do something II
remedy the present disgraceful STATE
of matters. The boys, instead oi
being reformed, are being demoral
lied, and badly demoralized, too

THE LEGISLATURE.
l14th DAY-CONTINuED.

Noble Bishop said when this act
was up before, he favored the idea
of borrowing 100000. His re-
marks on that occasion corresponded
in some degree with those of the
Minister this morning. There was
only one feature in the amendment
that met his approval, that limiting
the amount we are to 60 in debt.
The amendment he proposed at the
time, would have accomplished all
the good this one can possibly do,
and would have saved us some
modification and possibly some
money. 1t is proposed TO borrow
s., 900, 900, on the negotiating OF
which we have to pay off debt
which is not pressing at all. The
loss will be at least $4,000, and
probably more. The original bill
provided that no commissions were
to be paid OH any money applied to
pay off the bonds of 1882. That is
left out of the present act. People
here ought to have the opportunity
to take up the bonds if they are
willing to do so. He thought His
Excellency's remark about the adj
visibility of the whole debt being
held by one strong party was new

which the whole thing is being done
