The Souths Manufacturing Advan.
tlges,

Some years ago Gov Gordon said that in
manufacturing the lower grades of cotton
goods, the Southern manufacturers had an
advantage of fully 10 per cent. over those
of New England. This statement was ques-
toned at the time, but a Mr.. Hin, from one
of the New England Ssates, who for five or
six years has been superintendent of the
Eagle and Phoenix Mills at Columbus, re-
Gently said that he had become convinced
of its correctness-in fact, that the South
ern cotton manufacturer has an advantage
of as much as IL per cent. In an interview
in late issue of the New York Grdphic,
Gov. Gordon reiterates his statement, and
shows die reasons for such an advantage.
1t is due, he says, to economic and climatic
causes
In the first place, the cotton is manufac-
tured where it is grown, and this saves tie
cost of transportation; it saves the mid
dleman's commission, and it prevents
wastage from samplings, and from other
sources.
That the Southern climate affects the cost
of manufacturing cotton dds is fact that
the Eastern manufacturers seem to find some
u'lA-"i"J ia Bih9pAiS IL CuedpSLS DUH
mill power and labor. In what way? The
cheapest power for mill purposes is water
ana in the South the water can be
utilized at all seasons. Drouh3
rarely interfere, and the rivers
are never frozen. 1t is not so in the
East, There droughts and cold compel the
mills to shut down. Therefore the manu-
facturers must use steam. which means the
erection Of expensive boilers, engines and
other appliances. In the South labor is
cheaper because living is cheaper The
homes Of laborers need not be so expensive;
fuel is cheaper; less clothing is re-
quired, and food is not so costly
The Eastern laborers require more
meat to produce animal heat; the
Southern lahorer in summer can subsist to
great extent on vegetables, which he can
himself raise. Gov. Gordon says it is not
alone the price of mans labor which meas
ures his remuneration-it is also the cost of
living; and while the Southern mil hands
get less wages, they can really live better
than those of the East
The manufacturing growth of the South
in the last few years has been very marked.
and it was never more so than last year.
1t is believed that the present year will
show even better record. With such ad-
vantages rs the South possesses, what is to
hinder her from becoming a great manu-
featuring section?

Tennessee comes forward with a rival of
Lula Hurst, though as a natter of fact
Miss Hurst has for some time been Mrs
Paul Atkinson, and has retired from the
stage with a sum of money sufficient to sup
ply the wants of herself and husband The
Tennessee wonder is named Lucy Byrd
and She lives in Morristown. If everything
written about her is true She may be able
to follow Mrs. AtkinSon'S example and set
tie down in cosy nome surrounded by lux
ury Among other things, it is repre-
sented that she can make an ak spin around

Sunday papers say that daughter of Rev.
Sam Jones has left the college at Nillers-
burg, Ky, because young theological stu
dent in that town brought her into noto-
riety by the appeals for her salvation
Being called on by Rev. Joe Jones to lead in
prayer, the student made an earnest appeal
for the success of Rev. Sam Jones' efforts
and invoked a blessing on the evangelist's
daughter, who, he said, was going to Sheol
as fast as she could" The young lady in
dignantly left the church, and is reported
to have returned home, saying she would
not remain in a community where such an
insult could be offered with impunity to a
woman. The story appears to be rather
diaphanous.

The Louisville COurjer-,Jo1n'adI thinks
the chances of the passage of the Mills
tariff bill are very good. In order to pass
it l63 votes are needed. The Democrats
will furnish $50 of the required number,
and the Republicans four, viz, Messrs Mel
son of Minnesota, Laird Of Nebraska. Fitch
of New York, and Fuller of Iowa while the
Independents will contribute two, Messls.
Hopkins of Virginia, and Anderson OF
Iowa. This will make a total OF l56, or
seven short Of a majority. The Courier
Journal gives Mr.. Randall seventeen fol-
lowers among the Democrats as follows:
MesSrs. Snowden, Ermeatl out of Pennsyl-
vania, Foran, Seney, Wilkins and Campbell
of Ohio, the six Louisiana members, Thomp-
son and Biggs of California, Bliss and
Stahlnecker of New York. ard McAdoo of
New Jersey. Enough of the e, it SAYS, may
vote for the bill to effect its passage. If it
fails, the people will see to it that the next
Congress contains more tariff reformers.
Probably the Cincinnati 7fmes-Stdrs al
legged interview with the widow of The late
Vice President Hendricks has Just at
tracted that ladys atteat on. for she now
writes to the Portland Oreqonian as follows:
Il never at any time felt or expressed my
self as complaining that the widows of Gen
Logan and Gen. Blair should receive pen
sions. No such sei timent was ever ex-
pressed by me. Indeed, am reioiced to
know that those ladies are likely to receive
pensions. II is great mistake that ever
alluded TO a pension for myself l have
thought, and so expressed myself that the
government should give me the salary that
would have been due my husband. 1t is in
the abundant United States Treasury, and,
as am told, is drawn by no oae." Those
who We're at all acquainted with Mrs Hem
bricks character knew that the so-called
interview with her was fabrication.

Preparations Of Annles.

The question, which OF our fruits is the
most valuable, and the loss of which would
be most seriously felt, would doubtless
meet but one answer with the majority
OF the residents at the North No other
fruit is so common, none so easily Guilt
waited and no other one can be put TO so
many ditfesent uses, or form the chief
part of such variety of dishes. A raw,
mellow apple will digest in an hour and
n half; boiled cabbage requires four or
five hours. One of the most hea.thful
dishes we can place on our table is baked
apples. II ripe apples we're substituted
for pies, cakes, etc, in the family there
would DO fewer and smaller doctors bills
and better d /, -estion. We will give as
many recipes as possible for cooking this
useful fruit, and select help from readers.
AprLR PUDDING.
Pare and slice sufficient tart Juicy APP,
pies to nearly FIJI an earthen pudding
dish. Make crust a little softer than
for tea biscuit; roll IL the size of the dish
and place II over the apples after stawing
a little sugar on them, bake to nice
brown, or until the apples are soft. !. A
sauce OF butter and sugar Dreamed and
Favored with nutmeg or lemon Ia nice
for II, or cream and powdered sugar.
MoLAssEs APPLE PIE.
A very palatable dish is made by filling
deep pic dish with sliced sour APP Piles,
over which is poured generous supply
of molasses; cover with n crust and bake
until the apples are soft. Eat hot and
pour cream on each piece whom about TO
be served.
APPLE aAGE PUDDING.
Pare and core six or eight sour epples.
Place the whole apples in buttered
pudding dish, sprinkle sugar over them,
cover and bake until the fruit is soft.
While the apples are baking boil one ton.
oupful OF sage in pint of water, adding
very little salt When clear, remove II
froai the fire, stir in 3 or 4 tabespoonfuls
of sugar, according to the tGrtness OF the
apples, then pour IL over the apples and
bake 20 delicate brown. Eat with
cream and sugar.
noILED SWEET APPLEs.
Prepare the apples as for baking, place
them in a kettle, strew large spoonful
or more of sugar over, then enough water
TO nearly cover them, and boil until they
are tender. Remove carefully, 30 M not
to break or mash them; drain well, lay
them in the dish from which thoy are TO
be served; boil down the syrup in which
they are cooked until it Is rich and thick,
then pour it over them. Eat cold.
APPLE DUMpLNos.
Make a crust as for tea biscuit, or in
the proportion of a quart OF -four, tea.
spoonful salt, 3 teaspoonfuls baking pow.
der, piece of butter the size OF an egg
and sweet milk enough to mix them. Roll
in round shapes just large enough to on.
close pared and cored tart apple. Pinch
tho crust closely around them, aud either
lay them in a creased steamer and cook
by steam, or place them in dripping
pan and bake. Both ways OF cooking
them are good. Some suggest partly fill
ing the baking pan with milk. We have
not tried this but Lo doubt 10 is moe.
Eat With cream or butter, and sugar.
