He built it near the summit of Mount Popoca-

Whenever he desired 10 cook mutton chop
He'd hang it by lengthy string right over

From the top of volcano he would hang it by

And there until twas nicely cooked he'd let
his dinner swing.
To get his boiling water he would lower down

Right down into the crater of Mount Popocata-

From the ashes OF the mountain he would light
his neerschaum pipe,
And he felt as trsl happy as jolly little snipe.
But one evening, as it happened, there came by

And he was much astonished to see HeZelliaA

So he tapped him on the shoulder, this poor

Who straightway did fall over into Popocata-

A Busy Week in the South


In reviewing the industrial progress of the
South for the week, the Manufacturers Record
of December %, says:
The paSt week has been very busy one in the
South, and the prospects are bright for great
activity during the winter and spring. The
well-rounded development goes steadily on and
enterprises of great magnitude, as welitas small
er ones, are being organized daily. While capita
lists from the N orth end from Europe are inves
tigat1ng in many places with view TO heavy
investments in railroad, in manufacturing and
in town building enterprises. At meeting Of
the stockholders of the Greensboro Steel & IRON
Co., of Greensboro, \. c.. it was unanimously re
solved to contract at once for the construction
of a large Bessemer iron furnace, which VIII

Kaolin Better Than Gold.

A correspondent of the Charleston'
IS. c. Ne1rs anil Coerit7. writing Deem
Der 18th from Columbia, s. G., gives the
following interesting account OF a great
discovery that many have heretofore
sought to make:
A gentleman who registered al the Grand Cen
tral Hotel &c night has knowledge OF discovery
which, when fully developed will make tile
kaolin beds Of this State infinitely more valuable
than the phosphate deposits lie asked the re-
preventative of tie Nelps dald Courier ii he Knew
Mr p. A. Emanuel, Of the Aiken bar, which be-
ing answered, he went on to relate the following
facts

cess for the manufacture OF aluminium. About
q year ago Mr.. Emanuel applied himself to this
problem and it is believed that he has arrived
ut i5s correct solution. The material Which ne
used is the kaoin, Of Aiken county, tie basis
with which he worked, sulphuric acid On max
ing the discovery Mir. Emanuel went to Wash
ington and submitted his processes to the scien-
lists there, and has his discovery secured
from attack by the proper letters, patent and
caveats.
Not very long ago uminum was sold at about
Sa6.0D0 a ton, but by process which was consid-
cred final the price was reduced at Pittsburg to
two dollars and half pound OF about 5000 a
ton.
The startling announcements made now that
by the ingenuity of Mr. Emanuel aluminium can
ne freed from kaoiin at cost OF ABOUT Two uoI !.

times less than by the Pittsburg process As
there is how more demand in the world for
aluminium for mechanical purposes than there
is for gold, the immensely of the field and for

The narrator OF these facts said that he had

Cheap Merchandise Means Cheap
Men
From The Philadelphia Manufacturer,

From The Philadelphia manufacturer,
In a recent speech, characterized by
familiar dizziness and cumsiness of ex-
preston, Mr.. Cleveland indignantly re-
pudiated" the proposition that "cheap
merchandise means cheap men" But
when merchandise is cheapened by the
process of Free Trade that is what it
does mean, whether Mr.. Cleveland rel u
dates the assertion or accepts it. If lie
will read the book written by General
Booth, of the Salvation Army, which has
created such stir in England, he will
find there, from an impartial authority,
how cheap men are in that country
Booth shows that in a population OF 81,
100000 there is at least 1000, coo out -and
out paupers and probably million more
only little less helpless. Mr.. Chamber
lain says that there is a population equal
to that of London (4,GO0, 000) in this con-
dition. Many of these are persons who
have been driven from the farms by the
decay of British agriculture under the
destructive competition OF the United
States. and others are persons Mho have
been forced to idleness because English
men have sought abroad at low prices
fabrics which might have been made at
Nome. Ireland is cheap country, but
four millions of her people have fed
from her shores within forty years, and
famine is impending for those that re-
main. Belgium is a cheap country,
where girls and dogs do the work which
we do with horses. India is one OF the
cheapest countries in the world. Labor
there may De had for four cents a day,
but the Indian peasant is hardly a man,
and a famine which scours the people
out by the million brings wholesome re-
lief to the land when it comes. Human
life is the cheapest of all things in these
cheap countries. No American who has
any sense or any humanity ought to fail
to implore mercifui Providence to save
his country from such results OF cheap
ness as these.
There is a kind of cheapness that may
be had by other and better means. We
have gainedit by protecting our indus
tries and our people. and we shall gain
more of it if we shall be wise enough to
continue that policy. No Free Trader
will admit that he can perceive it, but
the difference is vast between cheaper
ing products by cheapening men and
cheapening products by stimulating the
inventive powers of men by paying them
high wages. 80 EA

The City Council of Lancaster, Pa,
passed last week an ordinance to tax
dogs and cats. which the Mayor vetoed
although, it is stated by the Examiner,
that he originated, or had adopted, the
scheme. The MAYORS second sober
sense came to his relief, for We know Of
no more foolish or impracticable propo-
sition than to tax cats. Why cats are a
public beneiactor, and the town that
would tax them ought to be bored into
holes by rodents
