THE SOUTH'S ADVANTAGES.

A correspondent of the Boston
Wool and Cotton Reporter, writing
from Columbus, Ga, says: GAS to
the difference of the cost of raw ma
terial, a careful calculation will
show that it is even greater than
one should be inclined to think. An
estimate made by the president OF a
Southern mill puts the costs Of a
bale of cotton-490 pounds at 10
cents-at s49.58, the odd cents be.

and drayage. From this 81 is de-
Quoted for resale of bagging and
ties, making the net cost S48.59. 10
the cost Of the same bale, shipped
to Boston, must be added $5.15 Tor
freight, 30 cents for insurance, IA
cents for exchange, $1.75 for COM
mission, delivery, drayage and ship
ping, and so cents for loss of weight,
making a total of $3.50. The bale
will make 416 yards of cloth at a
cost of 49, cents per pound in Bos-
ton and liz cents per pound in the
South. This gives difference of /
cents Fer pound, or over So bale,
in favor of the South"

RESULTS FROM AN INVENTION.

From the Scientific American.
DIR. Lardner, writing of the steam
engine, said /: 'sTo enumerate its
present effects would be to count al
most every comfort and every luxury
of life. 1t has increased the sum
of human happiness, not only by
calling new pleasures into existence
but by so cheapening former enjoy
ments as TO render them attainable
by those who before could never
have hoped to share them. The sur
face of the land and the face of the
waters are traversed with equal ia
cility by its power; and by thus
stimulating and facilitating the in
tercouse of nation with nation, and
the commerce of people with Ceo-
pie, it has knit together remote
countries by bends of amity not like.

movement in modern times, has had
It's power and influence increased IN
in manifold ratio by its union
with the steam engiue. 1t is thus
that literature is cheapened, and by
being cheapened diffused; it is thus
that reason has taken the place of
force and the pen has superseded
the sword it is thus that war has
always ceased upon the earth, and
that the differences which inevita-
bly, arise between people and peo-
pie are for the most part adjusted
by peaceful negotiations"

If the poor-house has any terror
for you, never buy what you don't
need. Before you pay three cents
for a jewsharp, see if you can't make
just as pleasant noise by whistling,
for which nature furnishes the ma
chinery. And before you pay sew
en- dollars for figured vest, young
man, find out whether your lady
love would not be just as glad to
see you in plain one that cost just
half the money. When you see a
man paying FIVE dollars for a toy
that baby will pull to pieces in
five minutes, the chances are that
he will live long enough to realize
how many cents there in a dollar
and if he don't, he is sure to be-
queath that privilege to mis- widow.
When a man asks you to buy that
for which you have no use, no mat
ter how cheap it is, don't say yes
until you are sure some one else
wants it in advance. Money burns

that everything that is put in drops

A YOUNG MANS FANCY.

Large allowance is to ba mado for
the sweeping assertion of the poet
shat "ln the spring young mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
love. 1t certainly is not true of the
malnrial young man, whose fancy, if
he has any, is of tho dull and heavy
variety. The malarial young man
marches around as the captive OF
General Debility. Tho roadicst and
most obvious means of escape arc
afforded by S. s. S, which, without
any flourish, routs Gonorul Debility
and his malariul allies. What is true
OF tho young man is true of tho
young lady, and tho whole host of
sufferers. S. S. S. is specific for
malaria.
