TO LIVERPOOL BY LAND.

Mr.. John Arthur Lynch, of Chi
cago, has projected plans for a con-
tinuous line of railway northward
through Alaska to Behring Straits
and southwark along the American
Isthmus into South America. He
figures out that by means Of the
Behring Straits route passengers
will be able to visit Europe with no
more Of . sea voyage than the so
mile width of the Straits, as there
will soon be railways across Siberia
and China into Western Europe.
Such . trip to Asia and Europe by
way Of the West and all the way by
land would be something remarka-
BILE. Then with q rail line through
Mexico, Central and South Ameri-
ca, it will be possible to make the
tour Of both hemispheres and all
the continents by continuous rail-
way line, As it is q part of the
scheme to bridge Behring Straits
and the English Channel. A trip
to Liverpool by land will be one Of
the possibilities of the next CEN
tury.-Picayune.

LINTuEss COTTON.

The story Of the Carolina farmers
production Of lintless cotton bolls fill.
ed with seed, has been scofied q .
''sell," but . Charleston dispatch
Of the 10Th asserts that specimens
from Spartanburg county are on ex-
hibition there which demonstrate
its success.
This new plant will, it is as
serted, produce from 500 to 400
bushels of cotton seed without lint
to the acre. The bolls are filed
with seed which are perfectly clean
and which show no signs Of lint.
Every boil contains IS many seed a
it can hold. The bolls are the size
of the average cotton boil. The
Importance of this matter may be
understood when the number Of oil
mills and the value Of their pro-
ducts are considered, and the pro-
pagators of this new cotton plant
assert that at the present price Of
cotton seed, an acre Of the new
plant will yield from 800 to 400 per
cent. more than an acre Of cotton

Before the Hastings Court Of
Richmond, Va, on appeal, . jury
found . negro boy not guilty Of
having stolen an umbrella, although
the proof was positive. In his
speech for the defense the negro's
counsel contended that it would be
an outrage to send anybody to Jail
for taking an umbrella; that no
body had ever been put in jail for
that. He said on one occasion q
party Of gentlemen placed an um-
brella in the passage before the
dining room Of the Spottswood Ho-
tel, first anchoring it with . long
string. The walters were let into
the secret and . watch set. The
result poved that every guest who
left the dining room attempted to
take the umbrella with him. Mer-
chants, lawyers, legislators, all had
it under way when checked by the
anchor.

THE RIGHT WAY TO TRAVEL

You who, in these days Of vehe-
ment bnstle, business and compe-
tition, can still find time to travel
for pleasure alone, patronize, 1 ex-
hort you, that first and oldest estab-
lished Of all conveyances, your own
legs. Think Of your tender partings
nipped in the bud by the railway
bell; think Of luggage confded to
extortionate porters, Of horses cast
ing shoes and catching colds, of
cramped legs and numbed feet, of
vain longing to get down here and
to delay for . pleasant half hour
there think of all these manifold
hardships, and the next time you
leave home strap your luggage on
your shoulder, take your stick in
your hand and set forth, delivered
from q perfect paraphernalia Of in
cumbrances, to 60 where you will,
how you will, the free citizen Of the
whole travelled world! Thus in
dependent, what may you not &C.
What pleasure is there
that you cannot enjoy? Again, 1
say, walk and be merry, walk and
be healthy, walk and be your own
master; walk to enjoy, to observe,
to improve, as no riders can; walk
and you are the best peripatetic inn

Many seem to think that poor,
bushy, rough lands are the only
ones adapted to sheep. This
is q mistake. While sheep pay bet
ter than any other stock on such
lands, If well managed they will al
SO pay on smooth and rich land.
Far more sheep are kept in proper
ton to the number Of acres in Eng
land than in our country, and there
the land is worth from 500 to $500
per acre. They are there kept for
lambs and mutton, wool being only
. secondary object.

Writing for the New York Ledg.
er, Henry w. Grady says:
"when my business partner came
home from the war, in which he had
gallanly commanded . battery, he
had neither breeches, home MOI
money. His wife cut up . wooden
dress she had worn for many years
to make him apair brooches. Gath
ering odds and ends from the ruins Of
Atlanta, he built . shanty, Of which
love made 3 home. His father gave
him S gold piece, Of which ingen-
uity made capital. In three years
he had built . $500 home in eight
years . 5000 home. He now has
. $50, 600 suburban home, and is
worth well over a quarter million
dollars. His life is an epitome Of
the south in 1865-its swift energy,
its cheerful heroism, shrewd knack
Of turning something from nothing,
its stages Of growth and its present
prosperity"
