Our measures Of length originated in
the dawn Of civilization, and came to us
through the Anglo-Saxons. The yard
was originally the length of a kings
arm; the foot, the length of his pedal
extremities. The word inch is derived
from the Latin uncia, "a twelfth part,
but why the foot was divided into
twelfths, instead of tenths or eleveuths,
no one claims to be wise enough TO tell.
II has been suggested that probably the
inch was originally the length Of the
second joint Of the forehnger, and that
twelve Of these about equal the length Of
the forearm, which averages about one
foot in length.
The inch used TO be divided into three
"barleycorns, which were simply the
length of the grain OF corn Of the bar

The Quaker Garb Ha. had rs Day


While the faith Of the Qualers has uu-
dergone no radical change since the days
of Mary Dyer, the simple manners and
customs of the sect are rapidly disap-
pearing. Here and there, it is true, one
of the "old fashioned" Quallers is to be
seen. When Jonathan Chace occupied
a seat in the senate of the United States
his coat was of the orthodox cut, and his
correspondents could not please him bet
ter than by addressing him as plain
Jonathan Chace. A consistent Quaker,
too, is Jonathan Chace, for he. with his
plainly dressed wife, rather than deprive
their coachman and horses of their Sum
day rest, will frequently walk two miles
and more to meeting and return by the
same conveyance.
But the old time straight cut coats are
fast passing away, and even Jonathan
Chace has discarded the drab, and his
black coats, though of the Quaker cut,
are of the very finest piece of broadoloth
that the looms can weave It is with
regret that the public part with the
quaint costume of the Friends, for when
seen upon the street it formed delicious
picture We may see something akin to
it at the Shaker settlements if we take
the trouble to visit them; but the cos
tune which poor heroic Mary Dyer wore
in her last hour has almost passed from

is notsonly distressing complaint, OF
itself, but, by causing the blood TO

is proved by the following testimony

The Purity of Cotton Seed OH as an
Article of Food

For human food olive and cotton-seed
oils are far superior to lard, or to any
other animal fat. Olive oil has held that
rank in the estimation of scientists and
medical men from the earliest period of
recorded history. 1t is only of late years
that analysis by chemists, experiments
IN diet by eminent physicians, and prac-
teal use by skillful housekeepers have
combined to demonstrate that in every
respect and for all uses the oil of the cot
ton-seed is equal to that of the olive
This fact once established, a market will
be made Tor pure cottOn-seed oil that will
be cO-eXtenslve with that now occupied bv
olive oil. 1t will, indeed, become it's com
petltOr i'll all parts of the world. The
Manufacturers Record of Baltimore beliey-
ing that the time has come when the
South should make Il vigorous move in
behalf OF cottOn-seed oil, instead of sim
ply acting on the defensivein the repeated
assaults made in Congress on the purity
OF this oil, after an elaborate investiga-
ton, has accumulated vast amount of
valuable information, and published
last week the first of a series of articles
that will cover the whole subject. In
these 1t will be shown beyond controversy
or shadow of doubt that cotton-seed oil
is the best salad Oil in the world, and
that it should be put on the market On
its merits, bearing it's own name, and its
excellence for all culinary purposes be
perslstently set forth until it receives
popular approval and enters into as uni
versal consumption as butter Or lard.
These articles, which will run through
several months, will prove OF immense
value to the whole South, by greatly
widening the market for cotton-seed oil.

From the Baltimore Manufacturers
Record of the 22nd inst, we take the
following:
Henderson is one of the live towns
North Carolina, and the GOLD LEAF,
weekly paper published there, is one
of the brightest and best of our ex-
changes that come from that good,
old, and wonderfully slow State. In
Henderson there are several very en-
terprising and sagacious men, chief
among whom is Col. w. H. S. Bur
gwyn, lawyer, banker, capitalist, and
a most estimable citizen also. In last
weeks issue of the GOLD LEAF we read
of the elaborate shouse warming" of Il
new plug tobacco enterprise at Hen
derson, at the head of which is Col.
Burgwyn. We congratulate Hender
son that it has a citizen SO worthy of
its esteem, and Newspaper, the
GOLD LEAF, that SO perfectly repre-
sents the best ambitions and inspira
tions of the town. That this bright
young borough of North Cardinals
"golden tobacco belt" may continue
to prosper, and its foremost capitalist
and its live editor may each be well
rewarded for their enterprise, is the
wish and hope of the Manufacturers

A BAD MOVE.

! 1t IS wired that convention will be
held in Washington to protest against
the contemplated restriction of immi-
grafton to the United States; but they
should remember that the interests OF
this country demand surcease OF i'm
migration, and these interests will be
CT nserved, whether it suits our foreign
contingent or not.
| There is always room in our Repub-
lie for the foreigners who come here of
their own individual impulse; comply
with our customs, and study to work
for the betterment of their condition;
but when they surge here in swarms,
at the bidding of unprincipled cor
porations; cheaper labor by accepting
servlle wage, and thereby throw our
own work-people out of employ, it is
high time to prohibit their landing on
our shores and living under the agis
of our laws.
There is clannish spirit manifested
by many of the aliens in America that
portends peril to the ideas that I'M
derlle our institutions. They found
their own communities; maintain their
own papers, and try to run the Repub
lie to suit themselves. They refuse to
become citizens; they seek the repeal
OF any statute that conflicts with their
own unenlightend views, and they are
out OF harmony with our people at
every point They are a menace to
the peace and prosperity of our native
and naturalized citizens who keep step
to the bu9le-call aud drumbeat of
progress, and who are determined that
their principles shall prevail, come
what may.-Escanaba (Michigan)

HIS RULE Is RUIN,

The last Issue of the Escanawba
(Michigan) Mirror under the above
heading contained the following edito-
rial article:
In late speech before the Southern
Society of New York, DR.. Thos.
Nelson Page, of Richmond, Va, said :
"Mesro rule is ruin. With the bal
lot in his hand he is like a mailman
with fire brand; he is equally perilous
to himself and to others; he drags
down his own life and others in one
equal, universal destruction. This
danger may more Immediately threat
en- the South, but it also menaces the
North. One decade of negro rule in
the South will fling this country back
for one hundred years after it shall
have ceased"
A radical and refreshing change has
come over the politics of the people on
the subject of black suffrage since
1880. At that period, every man who
opposed the abominablc XVIII Amend
ment was regarded as a tur-r-raitor by
the Republican party, while even the
Democrats, as a general thing, were
given to its defense.
Here and there, however, were men
who saw and said that making Sambo
voter was the supremest political
crime of the centuries, for it precipi-
tated into politics an element that
could never assimilate with our insti-
tdtions-an element that would prove
itself constant peril to the commu-
mites wherein it was upEermost-a
peril that would increase with the
increase of years.
The people who held this portion
have been indicated, and it is only
a question of time when the whole
Republic will call for the repeal of the
venomous law that lifted the Afric n
to an abnormal position in public
affairs.
'Then will our country break its bands,
And, silenciHg the jealous lands,
Stand in the searching light of Heaven
With sinless heart and stainless hands"

WHEN Mr. Carlisle's statement was
published recently that the appropria
tons which the Republicans of this
Congress intended making would
cause a deficiency in the Treasury al
the end of the next fiscal year, Mr..
Cannon, chairman of the House COM
mittee on Appropriations, stated that,
it was misrepresentation made for
political effect. Now as good repub-
lican as Senator Hawley states on the
floor of the Senate that the appropria-
tons to be made for the next fiscal
year will aggregate S523,ooo,ooo
against an estimated revenue of $780,
900, 900, making deficit of $780,
900. Certainly Mr.. Hawley was not
talking for political effect.
