The South.
AS SEEN BY MR.. DANA, OF THE NEW YORK
SUN.

| AS SEEN BY MR.. DANA, OF THE NEW YORE
| Editor Dana, of the New York Sun
recently made trip through a good por.
ton of the South and was present and par
ticipated in the meeting of the Southern
Press Association in Chattanooga Tennes
see. He is like almost every Northern
man who visits the South, agreeably sur
prised. On his return home he tells wha
he saw as follows:
A recent excursion from Washington tc
Lynchburg, and thence through East Ten
| nessee to Chattanooga, has put us in pos
session of some facts of high interest.
The first and most impressive is the dis
appearance of all traces of the civil war
If there was any region which was utterly
devastated, ooftrampled and battle
SCARED, it was Fairfax county. Not 8
fence was left there, and scarcely a tree
that could be cut down and converted into
fuel. Marched over, fought over, burned
over by both armies, it was indeed a waste.
Chattanooga, with the region around
about, was in q similar condition. Almos.
every foot of the broad and beautiful
basin in which that town is situated had
been converted into earthworks of one sort
or another. There were forts on every
point of prominence, and rifle pits edged
the plain and traversed it hither and thith
er. On the northern slope of Mission
Ridge no available tree, scarcely shrub,
had been left standing
Yet not a vestige of war can now be
seen either in the vicinity of Washington
or the vicinity of Chattanooga, or in any
part of the country intervening, holly and
often as much of it was fought for by the
opposing armies. Nature and the hand of
man have everywhere wrought q miracle
of obliteration. New groves have sprung
up, and fairer sight cannot be seen upon
earth than greets the traveller from every
hilltop and valley of the long line between
the two cities.
A still greater wonder is the kind of
agriculture that is now witnessed in these
old slave States. Formerly, under the
system of slavery, many of the farms had
dilapidated, desultory, and often lazy,
shiftless look but this is no longer. A
broken, neglected, poor fence is not to be
seen between Washington and Chatta-
nooga. Thrift, order, skill and prosperity
mark the whole country. Better agricul
ture or more beautiful farms we have never
witnessed. Long Island, the agricultural
region with which we happen at the pres
ent moment to be most familiar, is shabby
and careless in comparison. Even the
homes of the negroes, as they are seen
from the railroad, wear an appearance Of
care and cleanliness, The change is mar
velous, and it bears testimony unequaled
to the vitality and power of freedom.
The transformation in the land and it's
culture has gone on simultaneously with
another change, a new inspiration of unity
and patriotism in the minds and hearts of
men. 1t is great county, and the bless
ing of God rests upon it!

A New Industry for the Piny Woods
Region.

A special to the Times Democrat from
Meridian, May 80, says: What promises
to be very valuable discovery has been
made by DR.. w. M. Tets, of Estabuchie,
and with Mr.. G. w. Robinson, of this city,
he is now manufacturing the product
which he calls volatile carbon. The COM
pound is made of sawdust, fat pine or
common rosin and charcoal. and has the
appearance of coal, though it is not so
heavy. 1t has been tested on the North
eastern rG}road on three different coal
burners, and 100 pounds of volatile car
bon equaled 200 pounds of stone COAL
The waterworks in Meridian were so
pleased with the trial made with 600
pounds that they ordered a carload at
once, paying IS a ton for it. The manu-
facturers say it can be made for 50 80 per
ton. A considerable quantity will be
shipped to New Orleans for test in the
fire of engines, and is probable that its
manufacture will create an industry of
much importance in the pine woods sec
ton.

b bies in California.

Sat one time a woman could hardly
walk through the streets of San Francisco
without having every one pause to gaze
on her, and child was so rare that once
in theatre in the same city, where a wo-
man had taken her infant, when it began
to cry, just as the orchestra began to play,
a man in the pit cried out, Stop those
fddles and let the baby cry. l haven t
heard such a sound for ten years The
audience spplauded this sentiment, the
orchestra stopped and the baby continued
its performance amid unbounded enthu-
siasm'

Which Is Worse !?

A little girl came running in from her
play one morning, and going up to her
mamma, said:
(Which is worse, mamma, to tell lie
or to steal p
The mother replied that both were so
bad that she couldn't tell which was the
worse.
''Well," said the little one, stIve been
thinking good deal about it, and think
that it's worse to lie than to steal. If you
steal thing, you can take it back, unless
you've eaten it; and if you have eaten it
you can pay for it," But-and there was
a look of awe in the little face-'sa lie is
forever"

A Nickel That Nobody Wants.

About year ago some wag polished off
q nickel till it only resembled the coin of
the realm in size and color. After it
had dropped into the bottom of the bob
tail car box the driver eyed it suspiciously
and evidently thinking that the other side
of the coin might be all right he gave the
decisive pull and let it pass. From that
time to this the company has been en-
deavoring to get that nickel back on the
rascally public. But, TRANCE to say, every
man who tears open the envelope contain
ing it and its companion pieces always
chucks the smooth nickel back into the
box. Of course, no driver can now COM
plain, because the coin always comes out
the company's package. During its first
year of service it has taken about 2190
trips and as it is getting thinner and
smoother all the time there is no hope of
its ever escaping street-car service except
through the romantic charity of some
kind deliverer or through the final disso-
luton of the company corporation. -Balti-

Praise be thine, Eternal King,
Young and old "Hosanna" sing;
Thou hast blessed us far and wide
At the bounteous harvest-tide;
Angel voices high are blending
In the anthem never-ending
Hear us, while we fain would render
Praise for mercies kind and tender.

should like to tell her lame, but on
this point am pledged to secrecy. Let it
suffice that she is most beautiful young
girl, who lives on Fifth aver ne, near
Nineteenth street, that she has marvel
GUS head of golden hair, big, brown, inno-
cent eyes and is adored by every man or
woman who meets her. One of the occa-
sional electric cars on Fourth avenue was
coursing down the avenue the other day
when two horses attached to victoria
took alarm and began prancing about to
such an extent that the Englishman on
the box lost control of them. A poor wo-
man was crossing the street with child
in her arms Another child of about four
years of age was toddling along behind
her. The mother did not heed the coming
down upon her, but she reached the side
walk in safety, leaving her little one to
take care of itself. The child managed to
fall fiat on it's face when it was half way
over. The frightened team was leaping
straight at it as it lay sprawling on the
pavement. Twenty people at least stood
aghast at what was about to happen. A
figure of girl flew into the street and
stood upright in front of the child, hold
ing her arms out straight at the advancing
horses. There was wild cheer, and the
victoria went tearing by to one side. The
child was unframed Its rescuer was the
Fifth avenue girl. The crowd dispersed,
the young woman went home, and her
friends would never have heard of what
she did if had not seen the whole occur

THE SHIELD AS A TENT

The inventor then calls attention to the
moral effect of the use of his device. Fight
ing in security our soldiers would not know
what fear is, and hence there would be no
danger of rout or confusion. The enemy, on
against troops under cover. He would de-
spair of victory and soon succumb.
But l haven't yet described the strongest
feature of my DEVICE adds the ingenious
young person. The convex steel plates are
highly polished, presenting a surface on
which bullets VIII glance like skates on ice.
The shape OF the plates is such that the enc
my's bullet striking them will be first defect
ed and then thrown back with great force
Thus my invention not only protects the SOL
diers using it, but kills the enemy with his
own balls. Could human ingenuity go fur
ther?"
We think not, but it makes an obvious eff
fort to do so III this very instance, for the in
ventor Immediately adds:
Not alone in battle is my device useful.
These shields could be made to take the place
of tents on rapid march. By turning them
I'D on the ground the soldiers could provide
themselves dry, warm sleeping places, keep
ing off snow, rain and dew"
And then the young man closes his letter,
as nearly all inventors of devices sure to rev.
olutionize warfare do close their letters, by
saying:
Il give Uncle Sam the first chance at this.
If he doesn't want it, let me know quick, and
I'll sell it TO some other government
