A Statesman speaks.

No man i'm the South was more gen.
orally or more favorsbly known. and
no mans opinion was more highly
reyerenced than that of the late ex-
Governor Perry, Of South Carolina.
For some time previous to his death,
Governor Perry was u sufferer from
indigestion. He took DIR. Westmore-
1snd's Calisava Tonic and wrote the
following letter:
SANS SOUCI. .
Gentlemcn.-I most cordially re-
commend DR.. WestmnrelanaH Calls
ava Tonic. For several years past |
have been troubled With indigestion
and dyspepsia. My sou, DIR. Hert NJ.
Perry. of Philadelphia, who kndws the
ingredients which compose youl
Tonic. spoke fav0rably OF it. In the
course of two months past | have used
four bottles and am entirely relieved.
Yours truly, &C.,

Sewing and Starving.

So far rs many Of the seamstresses oi
New York are concerned these
two terms are Synonymous.
We talk Of women getting IL living by
the needle /; the truth is they get their
death by it. Tie revelations Oh the
subject made from time to time are
enough to make u good man blush for
the species to which he belongs. In
New Iork-a Christian city-it would
seem that hundreds of employers are
engaged in u conspiracy to starvc
thousands of women down to the low
est point Of atroply consistent with
the Use of their fingers, and to keep
them in that condition till they die.
The sewiny-machine, ticking all day
long and far into The night, is the
death-wa:ch that hcra,ds their doom.
and the Me:ciless taskmaster for
whom they toll are. to all intcnts aud
purposes, their exccutiuneers.- Thirty
cents per day that, we are informed,
is about the average compensation Of
the sewing girls in this rich and:prOs-
porous city. Thirty cents ia given

work and at the same time dealers
realize from fifty to one hundred and
fifty per cent, on tue manufactured
garments : but the poor slave Ut the
needle gets scarcely enough IT, pay
for shelter without warmth, and bread

A Good Showing.
OF THE SOUTH IN rHR cor
TON MILL INDUSTRY SET FORTH,

The Tradesman, Of Chattanooga, has
Instituted a n exhaustive inquiry intu
the cotton mill industry Of the South,
and has received reports from ali
leading mills Of the southern states.
The actual number Of mills in opera
ton is 339. against 142, in 1880, n in
crease of 2332 per cent. since the cen
s,,s year. The increase in mill con-
sumption of raw cotton in the same
period has been 253 per ceut. Soutl,
Carolina is the banner state !; 1888
bales wero consumed in that state
last year, against 120,988 bales in
Georgia. The consumption of raw
cotton in South Carolina has increas-
ed 81 per cent. in two years. The
c%oncensus ofoplnions Of Pleading manu-.
f%acturers of the South in their written
reports to the Tradesman. is that the
South possesses advantages over amy
other portion of America for cotton
manufacture in: l. Proximity to raw
material. 2. Superior climate. 8. cheap
er power. 4. Lower cost of renting
and living. 5. Lo wage scale. 6.
Less liability to strikes. 8. Less cx-
pense for heating mills. 8. Saving on
freight. The Iradesman has received
returns Of dividends from twenty-five
Leading mills in the South, located in
SIX different states. The dividends
run Detween extremes of four and
twenty eight per cent. and average of
twenty-five is III per cent. per an
mum. These twenty-five fairly re-
present the whole.

A Queer Cure All.
EEL-sKrNS SUCCESSFULLY EMPLOYED IN
CASES OF RHEUMATISM.

A reporter the other day paid u visit
to Billingsgate and made some inqui-
ries. One of the largest eel dealers in
the great London fish market gave
some interesting information on the
subject.
"Well," he said, 81 know of numbers
of cases in which they have been used
with complete success. They are
stretched on n board and dried then,
to make them plant, they are slightly
..uini$fel,ed and tied around the suffer
ing limlb. They are worn as carriers,
anklets. bracelets and armlets. They
are even worn around the waist-next'
to the -skii, Of co%urse-fOr lnmbago
and sciatica. Hundreds OF London
calpnen wear them and swear by
them !; and | have i number of gentle
me customers in the country who
ask me to send them eel skins IT, give
away to the poor people of their. dis
tlicts. Persons who have once worn
them will never be without tlieln if
they u help it. But l can not tell
what medicinal property they pos
sess I; perhaps after all it is only
warmth, for of cours: they must form
an almost air-tight bandage. like Il
piece of gutta percha or a xoldbeater'x
skin. Perhaps it is only fancy, and
that goes a very long way, as you
probably know. Why, have heard
that a skein Of silk tied round the
waist will cure lumbago, or round che
knee will cure rheumatism in the leg.
Now what earthly medicinal property
can there be in skein Of silk? OF
the skins are generally consid-
cred rs refuse or ofial, and are cunse-
quently thrown a~ay."-Pall Mall
Gazette.

Send Tour Children to School at Home.

Just now many OF the young peo-
pie of the parish are departing for
college. The number that will go
abroad this season will doubtless
amount t" forty 81 fifty. These young
people will spend while absent ut
college not less than $4,000. Let us
see what this sun would do in the
cause Of education if spent ut home.
First let us say, however, that of the
number who 60 off to school, q large
percentage arc not sufficiently sdvauc-
ed to enter Il college class and are fore
cd to enter the primary departments
OF those schools, which departments
are always o~vercrowded. II good
schools could be had at home, a large
proportion Of those who 70 off could
remain at home and be taught at a
comparatively insignificant sum.
Twelve thousand dollars would
maintain twenty good schools, with
able teachers in charge, for a period
of ten months. In these twenty
schools six hundred pupils could be
taught, whereas only forty OF fifty
children receive tile benefit Of this
$4,000. This could be termed
getting tho best returns for the money
spent. Let the people think about
this matter, aud when d of them
concludes to send his son or daughter
to some distant school, and spend
$500 per year for that privilege let
him contribute that amount to his
settlement school, and encourage his
neighbor who is about to send child
rem abroad to do likewise, and let
them conformity employ a good teach
er and open q school, in which not
only one child can be taugff;s but
thirty may be Instructed. We know
from ohservstion that pupils can I've
advanced more rapidly in country and
village schools where the teacher is
competent and faithful than in crowd
ed high schools and colleges, because
there the teacher give and. does
give more time tn the instruction If
each pupil. Some parents send their
children to college before they have
gotten out Of the spelling book, and
If the child's education is to- be com
pleted, it requires him to be absent
from home four or five years, and Gu
tail an expenditure of tl.ree.i Or four
Thousand dollars; other parents, not
being able to keep their children in
college longer, send one or two ut
least three or four months, or one
term. who return ut the expiration Of
that time with but little to show for
tile two or three hundred dollars fritz
ted away on the three or four months
attendance of a son at college would
kce? that son in school three or four
years at home.
Again, parents are to be condemned
for sending little children to college.
