The Cotton sud Iron Of the South.

Recently Mr. George r. Bringhurst
secretary and treasurer Of the council
of the City Of Honston, Texas, ad-
dressed communication to prominent
parties il Philadelphia, stating that
Houston wonld furnish 100000 to
$250,000 of capital for the establish
ing of cotton mill in their city, pro-
vided persons in Philadelphia or else
where would also Subscribe a like
amount.
We can safely recommend Houston
as an eligible place for the extensive
establishment of cotton factories, but
much more to the purpose we quote
the words of the Philadelphia Times
which publishes the letter in question
and freely comments editoriaIiy upon
it. Says the Tines: "rhe place
where the cotton is grown is the place
here it must soon be manufactured.
With a genial climate that in itself
lessons the cost of labor very largely (;
with water that never freezes in most
Of the cotton regions; with facilities
for reaching markets nearly or qnite
equal to Northern mills, and with the
economy Of free raw materials with
out cost of transportation or the injury
OF severe compression, cotton should
be manufactured in any of the cotton
should be manufactured in any of the
cotton States mach cheaper than in
the North.
s!ln these days of swift mutations in
business and trade; those who disre.
gard the absolute laws which govern
all branches of enterprise will be GER
tain to founder in bankruptcy; and
only the stone blind fail to see that
cotton fabHcs and a large proportion
OF the iron supply Of the country
must come from tho South. They
They have natural advantages 70,
cbeapening those products which can.
not be longer defied; and instead OF
persIsting in war against fate by put
ting Northern ingenuity, energy aud
capital against Southern advantages,
our ingenuity, energy and capital must
largely go South and reap their rich
est harvests in the cotton and iron cen.
iers Of that region"
Few Intelligent observers have been
more quick to see or more ready to ac-
knowledge the magnificent native
wealth of the South and its eminent
advantages of manufacturing, than has
the distinguished and enlightened edi
tor of the Philadelphia Times. He
will help the people of Houston in
their enterprise il it be possible n.

a Woman's Discovery.

"Another wonderful discovery has been
made, and that, too, by lady in this
county. Disease fastened its clutches up
on her and for seven years she withstood
its sevcrest tests, but her vital organs
were undermined and death seemed imuIi-
nent. For three months she coughed in
cessantly and could not sleep. She
bought of us Il bottle of Or. Kings New
Discovery for consumption and was 80

Chinese Woman Disappears.

When the case of grand larceny pend
ing against the Chinawoman, Wong
Jen, was called for preliminary examina-
ton yesterday in Justice Lockwood's Is
court, the defendant failed to appear and
her bail was declared forfeited and an
attachment issued for her. She was &C.
cused by one Ah King with having on
the 18th day of April last, stolen gold
watch and chain valued at $55. Her
first appearance in court was made on
July 1st, when she was arraigned and
committed to the care of Mrs. Watson,
in default of bail in the sum of $40, 1000.
While an inmate of the Home, an effort
was made by the woman's friends to
effect her escape from that place, but the
scheme failed and she was taken for
further security to the County Jail. On
August 18th she was again brought into
court, and representations were made to
Justice Lockwood which caused him to
reduce the bail, which it was contended
had been placed at an excessive figure,
to the sum of $1,000. Bonds for this
amount were filed and Wong Jen was
released, whereupon her friends spirited
her away, and she has not since been
heard of.
