increasing their numbers from 1860 to
1890. The butchers and bakers have
not been standing still, the former now
having 1885 shops as compared with
1882 last year, and the bakers 1870 to

Curious is it to note, according to the
San francisco ArgOnaAf, how the power
Of the London papers. in relation TO the
counties, rose with tho expansion OF the
railways, and declined as rapidly, with
the rise Of the electric telegraph. 1t is
the latter discovery which has put an
end to the London press setting the tone
of political thought in the counties. The
telegraph. by out-ruuning the railway,
enabled the provincial press to anticipate
the London press in items Of news, con-
cerning which, so long as railways were
the sole means Of communications. the
London press had anticipated them.
Hence the rapid and enormous develop
ment o; local papers in the great manu-
featuring centres and elsewhere. The
British press. as an advertising and
ncws-coIlecting agency, is, at the present
monent. in the zenith Of It's greatness
one Of the wonders Of the world.

Crown for Mr.. Davis.

More than 5000 persons witnessed the
ceremonies connected with the laying of
the cornerstone Of the Confederate mon
ument at jackson, Miss. The procession,
headed by carriages containing distin-
guished visitors and State officers, moved
from the city hall and paraded through
several of the principal streets. Mr.
Davis did not attend, owing to bad
health. Eight military companies and a
number of benevolent associations, about
one hundred war veterans and large
Masonic representation were in line.
Adjutant General William Henry COM
manded.
Upon arriving at the State capitol
building Miss Winnie Davis was con-
Quoted to the library chamber and for
mally introduced to the large crowd by
Governor Lowry. The ceremonies at
the monument followed, and were opened
by the reading of letter from Mr..
Davis explaining his absence. Col.
Chas E. Hooker delivered the oration,
and at the close presented Miss Davis
with silver crown to be given by her
to her father. The crown is the gift Of
three Mississippi gentlemen. Its pre-
sentation was unexpected, not having
been announced in the programme. The
laying of the cornerstone with Masonic
ceremonies closed the exercises of the
day. In the evening grand military
parade was held at the fair grounds by
the National Guard. The day passed of
pleasantly and without accident.

Swift Vengeance Taken.

Great excitement exists in the upper
portion of Union county, S. G., in con-
sequence of the brutal murder of Gun
nings Byers, a white youth of sixteen
years, by negro named Ben Cunning
ham. This negro had previously had a
difficulty with Byers' father, on whose
farm he was tenant, swearing ven
geaDce against the whole Byers family.
Cunningham took it on the first member
he met unprotected. Meeting young
Byers alone in the woods, he dealt him a
mortal blow on the head with an ak and
then fed. A party are already in pur-
suit, and it is not likely that Cunning
ham can escape. There is much talk Of
lynching him, and unless he falls into
the hands of the authorities before the
pursuers take him he will doubtless never
come to trial.

Memorial Requiem Of the canarIss.

The Archduke of Miramar in the island
of Majorca recently told a very romantic
bnt true anecdote to a traveller in his
Mediterranean principality. He related
that one morning, few weeks ago, he
had CHANGED TO come upon a stranger in
his grounds. He was man no longer
very young. The Archduke entered into
conversation with him; found that he
was a great traveller, spoke many lang
uages. In short, he was a man of the
world. Then he explained his object in
coming to Majorca.
81 had once a dear friend who be-
IoDged to the island. He died lately,
and in losing him l lost all l cared for on
earth. Iwished to do something to per-
petuate his memory; not by means of a
cold stone monument or gift to an insti-
tuition. These ordinary memorials would
not satisfy me. They mean nothing:
they are cold and empty. l thought l
would try and raise less silent memo
rial to my friend. have come all the
way from the Canary Islands for this pur-
pose. / have brought with me number
of canaries, and have set them at liberty
in the grounds of Miramar. You have
20 canarics in Majorca; but why should
they not live in your beautiful climate as
well as elsewhere7 At any rate, if they
thrive they viii propagate, and their
sweet song will be an everlasting chant
and requiem to the memory of my dead
friend. None shall know him; no other
record of him shall appear"
The Archduke, who has much ro-
nance in his temperament, was moved
by the poetry and beauty of the idea,
ard by such rare fidelity TO the memory
of lost friend. He desired to know
the strangers name.
"sir," he replied, 'permit me to re-
main unknown. l came to the island
yesterday, l depart tomorrow. wish
to leave no trace, no record behind me
OF my visit. Let the birds chant my
requiem, with that of my lost friend.
With a low bow he departed and
Majorca knows him no more. The little
songsters are flying about the woods
ard lodging in the branches, and one
can only hope, with the mysterious
stranger, that their reign in the island
has taken root and will not cease
1rgo3y.

A Disastrous waterspout.

A waterspout fell in the northwestern
part of Dawes county, Neb., burying
five miles of the Fremont, Elkhorn and
Missouri Valley track and carrying away
a large number of cattle. Bridges across
the White and Lone Tree rivers were
carried away, and all the telegraph com.
munication was cut off and it was i'm
possible to learn the full extent of the
damage, 1t is feared that a number OF
settlers along these rivers have been lost.
The spout came in. the form of black
cloud, which resembled a large cart
wheel in rapid motion and appeared
about ten feet thick.
