There were some exports of sea island
from New Orleans" said the Bay street
cotton buyer, (which we will get in time to
include in our report of the exports for the
year ending Sept. l, 1883.
"The island-grown cotton is finer,
stronger, and is longer staple than the
mainland sea island which we designate as
Florida, although it is grown in Georgia
and Florida. The past season as high as
26c. were asked for Florida, but 25c. was
about the average selling price. The finest
sea island goes to France, and some
fancy sea island is held as nigh as 55c All
the thread is manufactured from the sea
island cotton, and it enters into the manu-
facture of the finer grades of cotton yarn
and hosiery

WATER SPOUT OFF TYBEE.
A Stormy Day at the Beach-People
Leaving the Island.

AcdVl1B Cno 1Slduu.
Signal Observer Evans at Tybee reported
a huge water spout, apparently about ten
miles off the coast, about 5 o'clock yester-
day afternoon. The weather at Tybee was
lowering all day. A heavy rain fell during
the afternoon and last night it poured.
The few people who had not already left the
island came up on the afternoon ain. TIE
Ocean house and Graham's have closed,
and most of the cottagers have
moved back to the city. The
beach was os deserted yesterday as
it is in midwinter. The threatening weather
and the apparent movement of the Gulf
storm in this direction have put a damper
on seaside pleasures.

A very affecting scene took place during
the progress Of the inquest. The office Of
Justice Molina was densely packed, and
doors and windows were crowded, when
the inquest was halted midway by the en-
trance of Mr.. Westcott's mother, who had
heard ruinor that her son was in trouble,
yet sho had not teen fully informed Of its
nature. The crowd gave way, and the
coroner suspended the examination until
Mr.. Westcott could quiet his mother, after
which she retired with friend.
There WIS deeper interest manifested at
the inquest than at the inquest in the Smith
Ruslin case, and when The crowd was dis

oNE-HANDED TYPE-sETTING.
A One-Armed Printer Who Earns Good
Wages, and How He Docs 1t.
From the Portland Oregonian,

Wages, and How He Docs 1t.
From the Portland 0regonian,
A portion of the matter in this issue of
the Portland OregOnidn was set by q one
armed printer, Henry Penrod, young
man hailing from Washington, d. c.,
who arrived in this city Sunday evening
and "subbed'' last night for "Slug 49,"
The oldest man in the composing
had never before seen man with only
one arm working at the printing busi-
ness, although several have heard of
such a thing, and one old man who
wears glasses and scorns TO tell lie has
a story about having seen man without
arms setting type with his teeth The
general opinion among the compositors,
however, is that there is some mistake
about this.
Any one who has seen type set would
deem it impracticable and almost impossi-
BILE for man with only one hand to make
any headway at the work. This young
man. however gets along very well, and
can do as much work as the average prin-
ter with two hands. He props up his stick
at an angle of about 80 degrees, the lower
end in the 't'' box, and his right
hand travels rapidly around to
the various boxes, and he fills
a bblCh III oIOAb OluOls IAC
ties his stick himself, corrects his own
proofs, takes copy from the file Just as it
comes, and, in short, does with one hand
what some journeymen cannot do we'll
with two. When he runs across word
to be set in italic he goes to the italic case,
sets the word up in his mouth, and then
places il in his stick. When he distributes
he takes of the movable part of his stick,
places handful of matter lengthwise on
it, and goes ahead,
1t has long been the idea of printers
who believe in the theory of evolution
that in course of time the printer will
develop third arm from the middle of
his chest, which can be used to hold the
stick while he sets type with both his
right and left hands, the only objection to
this style of things being the liability of
the stick to get hot from friction and melt
the type, unless boy stood by to pour
water on it. Some of those who have
been waiting for this arm to develop
might try propping up their sticks IN the
case and setting with the two hands they
have and see how it goes.
The young man above mentioned
learned his trade in the Government
Printing Othce at Washington when he
had two hands, but, unfortunately losing
one by an accident, determined to con-
tinue at his trade, and his success shows
what can be accomplished by persever-
ance under difficulties which by most
men would be deemed insurmountable,

She Was Excused.

A teacher in one of our public schools
has been much annoyed by truancy, and
has recently enforced the rule that her
scholars, on their return to school after
any absence, must bring her a note stat
ing in full the cause of such absence, and
the exact length of its duration, said note
to be in the handwriting of parent or
guardian.
The following is note brought by one
of her pupils after two weeks absence;
Louisa was absent monday, please ex-
cuse her,
Louisa was absent toosday, she had a
sore throte.
Louisa was absent wensday, she had a

Leaving His Body Piecemcal.

DR.. Everett Wagner, an eccentric ply
sician living near Edmonton, Metcalfe
County, KY, left the following will:
"By the grace of God, amen, l, Everett
Wagner, being of sound mind and dispos-
ing memory, and realizing the uncertain
ties of life, do make this my last will and
testament, hereby revolSing any former
or other will may have made. / have
lived a secluded life, and for that reason
| suppose | have not accumulated as
much of this worlds goods as might
have been, but my beloved relatives,
knowing that l am about to die and
believing me, as they have heretofore
called me u mser, suppose my wealth
very large. Although up TO this
time they have Stunned me almost en-
tirely, they cannot now do too much for
me, and nearly every one of them has
visited me in these my last hours, and
given me gentle hint that they would
like to have small trinket of some kind
by which to remember their beloved
relative. On account OF their former
treatment and their gentle hints l now
take this method of satisfying their de-
sires, and by this, my last will and testa-
ment, | will and bequeath to them as
follows:
"First-I give to my beloved brother,
Napoleon Bonaparte Wagner, my left
hand and arm.
"Second-I give to my beloved brother,
George w. Wagner, my right hand and
arm.n
Similarly he disposes Of eyes, nose, etc.,
to other relatives, and says if any be for
gotten the dissecting surgeon shall supply
the lack, first come, first served. The re-
mainder is to be buried in Potters Field.
The executor and surgeon each are to have
$500. The residue of his estate is to so to
public charities in Metcalfe County. The
estate is worth $4,000.
