The sericulturists of the state are cor
daily welcomed to the magical metrop-
oils with hearty good-speed in their
praiseworthy endeavors to develop the
magnificent industry to which they are
devoting their best efforts to mind and
hand. We are sure the visitors TO the
city in attendance upon the occasion
will be encouraged by the presence at
the meeting of a large number of our
own people who feel a lively interest in
the success of the important undertak-
ing. The silk industry may, and there
fore ought to, be developed into one of
the leading ones Of the state, and with
proper encouragement, which is prom
ised in a substantial way as far as may
be needed, it will in short time become
a most important because profitable
and valuable enterprise. Very much of
the progress of silk culture in Kansas in
the immediate future, depends upon the
impetns that will be given to it by to-

Commenting upon short paragraph
In an exchange touching the practice of
President Harrison of holding family
devotions in the white house as has been
his want at his indianapolis home for
years, the Kansas City, Kan, Gazette
makes the following fitting observations
which will strike a responsive chord in
many hearts. Even the irreligious can
not but reverence the devoutly pious if
their daily walk conforms to their out
ward professions. Says the Gazette:
"Whlle we do not say that a man must
be Christian in order to fit him for the
presidential Office, we greatly prefer that
he should be such. rather than an infidel
and that he should be praying rather
than prayerless man. He who honors
God in his heart will thereby be alike
qualified and disposed faithfully 10 per-
form his duties to men. Piety towards
God fits any station in life. Public men
too often act as if such piety was some
how out of place in the secular spheres
in which they are called TO move, and
was not exactly fitting 10 those who
hold nigh Offices"

PARTICULARS OF SAMONI.

Capt Hotchkiss leaves on our table a
copy of the Army and Navy Journal,
which contains the following details of
the Samoni disaster found in a London
dispatch:
Further particulars of the disastrous
storm at Apia have just been received.
The hurricane burst upon the harbor
suddenly. The German man-of-war,
Eber was the first to drag her anchor
She became unmanageable and was
driven helplessly on the reef which runs
around the harbor. She struck broad
side on at o'clock in the morning The
shock caused her to lurch and to stagger
back, and she sank in a moment in deep
water. Most of her men were under
matches and scarcely a soul of them
escaped.
The German warship Adler was the
next to succumb. She was lifted bodily
by gigantic wave and cast on her beam
ends on the reef. \ terrible struggle for
life ensued among the officers and sailors
aboard. Many plunged into the raging
surf and struck out, some reaching the
shore in safety. Others clung to the rig
ging until the masts fell. OF the latter
two gained the shore safely. The cap
tain of the Adler and several officers Were
saved.
In the meantime the United States
steamer Nipsic had been dragging her
anchors and drifting towards the shore.
The captain, however, managed to keep
control and ran her on sandbar. Boats
We're Immediately lowered and the
whole company were saved with the ex-
ception of seven men, who were drown
ed by the capsizing OF boat The Unit
ed States steamer Vandalia,
was carried before the gale
right upon the reef. She struck with a
terrible shock. and the captain was
hurled against a Gatling gun and
stunned. Before he could recover q
great sea swept the deck and washed
him away. The vessel sunk fifty yards
from the Nipsic. Several of the officers
and men Were washed overheard and
drowned. Others perished while max
ing desperate efforts to swim to the
shore. Some remained for hours. cling
ing to the rigging. but heavy waves
dashed increasingly over them. and one
by one they were dashed away.
Soon after the Vandalia had sunk the
American warship Trenton broke from
IlSI dLCHtId-S dil1 " dS uElNSu upon itle
wreck of the Vandalia, whence she
drifted to the shore. The bottom of the
Trenton was completely stove, and her
hold was half filled with water.
By this time night had set in. Many
natives and Europeans had gathered on
the shore, and all were anxious TO render
assistance to the wrecked vessels and
their unfortunate crews, but, darkness
having fallen on the scene, they were
wholly unable to be Of service.
As morning broke the German man-of
war Olga, which had hitherto braveiy
withstood the gale, although much bat
| tered by the heavy seas that constantly
broke upon her, became unmanageable
and was driven upon the beach, where
she lay in tolerably favorable position.

Three Limits to Locomotives Speed.

Professor Hadley, of Yale college, in a
recent lecture before the students of that
institution said: The speed of railroad
trains is restricted within three theoret-
ical limits: First, physical limit of
eighty miles per hour, beyond which it
is found impossible for a train TO hold
the track; second, an operating limit of
sixty miles per hour, which practical
experience has found trains cannot run
without much damage to life; third a
commercial limit of thirty miles per
hour, at which, ali things considered, 1t
is found most economical to run a
train"

The secretary of state for South Caro-
lima has issued very interesting report
on the number and Importance of new
corporations chartered during the last
two years. The total capital in the new
mining and manufacturing companies
exceeds $4,000, 900, and each company is
n active operation. This is small
amount for so large a state, but it is,
nevertheless, encouraging. When capi-
tai begins to diversity the industries of a
state, the general welfare OF its people,
their intelligence and their social condi-
ton improves. In this there is more
hope than there can be in congressional
nction.

Some member Of the late lamented
legislature, who evidently wants an en-
iorsement from his farmer constituency,
has been imposing upon the agricultural
editor of the Troy Chief by inducing him
to believe and assert in his paper that
the reason winter didn't linger in the lap
of spring this year was because the age

lature. That had nothing to do with the
case. The bill didn't become law; be-
