Southern Cotton Mills.

The cotton industry in the Southrn
States is gradually becoming one of
the most important industries in tae
country. All over the South great ao,
tivity is displayed, and new mills AN
continually being erected. AT Column
bus, Ga, one C mpany has added 500
spindles to its mill. The cost of build
ing some of the mills has been from
800. 900 to $500, 900. and after they
have been erected it has been found
necessary. owing to the large increase
in the work. to extend them. At Gal
weston, 81, 900, 900 has been expended
in building mill. All this vast en-
penditure of capital has been the means
of giving employment to thousands of
people, and the result has been that
the working people of the South have
betterod their condition. All the re-
sources of the Southern States are
rapidly being developed, and if this ac-
tivity continues, the New South in a
few years will be the great rival of the
North in the commercial world. DEM

An ancient painting was recently
discovered in country shop at Rich

is supposed, this saying originated. 1t
measures eighteen inches by twenty
two inches long, is in good state OF
preservation, and is described as fol-
lows: Upon tree. whose branches ex-
tend to each side of the picture, hangs
by red belt with gold tassel an enor-
nous curved horn, the ends upwards.
At the extreme left stands a man with
black velvet fiat cap, and surcoat
trimmed with fur, rough. and gold
chains on the breast. He is superin-
tending the action of man attired in
= purple doublet, profusely slashed.
who wears large felt hat and cloak.
with dagger in his girdle. and is en-
gagged in thrusting into the large end
of the horn an unfortunate wretch.
whose trunk and legs (the latter loosely
bound together with rope. the end of
which is held by the gold-chained gen.
tleman) are inverted, and are the
only portions of the body visible
at that part of the picture. But
at the little end of the horn,
about six feet away as the crow
flies Tor across the radius of this in
strument of torture), but nine feet
along the curved surface, appear the
unhappy head and one arm of the vic
tim. At the right stands man clad
only in shirt and ragged coat, wiring
ing his hands with woe-begone express
sion depicted in his countenance On
black ground at the bottom of the
picture is the inscription: This horn

what harme doth grove from comeng
ont the little ende thereof" On either
side of the tree are the words in semi
gothic character: 1.-The Sea of Trubble."
Above the head of the parsonage in
the velvet cap is the citation: Psalms
81, 26: But he is ever merciful and
lendeth and hissede enjoyeth the bless
ing" The wearer of the gold chain
is probably the sheriff, possibly the
creditor, who has brought the poor
fellow who was so foolish as to under
take sureteship, bound to the tormen-
tor. He is putting him through the
horn, with elongates, and congresses
