IMPORTANT TO rosAcco PLANTERS.
The Austria Hungarian Consul Announces
that lie Prefers Richmond Inspections
For the Dlspatch,


A declarationof inestimable value that
should be given wide circulation COM
mennrate with Its importance comes
directly from Mr. Louis Borchors. the
Austrian and Hungarian reggie tobacco
buyer in Richmond, in which he an
nounces that he wants planters tobacco.
and wants 10 buy il here at home by
Richmond inspections, where he can see
not only the samples, but If he so elects
the tobacco itself, and where certain and
definite well.regulated rules govern the
trade, that are happily in touch with
the requirements of such an important
order as the Austro- Hungarian is
taking as it.does the best and highest
priced and class of Virginia dark to-
hacco, the staple of our soil
Mr.. Borchers asks nothing specially
for himself, but wishes to remind plan
tiers that it is to their best interests TO
handle their tobacco themselves, and as
creditably and as uniformly as possible
that he may be able to pay them the
fuller value.
This regie order, unlike that OF other
foreign orders, is the only one without
limit in price and in quantity, practi-
cally. 1t takes all the fine Virginia
tobacco in sight and il good condition
every year. 1t comes directly from the
government, and is not sub-let to con-
tractors and Spectators. 1t is most
valuable order in worthy hands. If,
however, planters are compelled in some
measure to part with their profits 10
rehandlers, MIR. Brochers insists upon
buying this tobacco by Richmond in
spection, and so it has to come here
eventually. II our other large buyers Of
brights were to use their power and pre-
negatives as MIR. Brochers does, we would
have to-day double the life and scope in
this market. A rich, leafy, dark brown
red or heavy wrapping mahogany is the
type OF Austrian tobacco wanted priced
pleasantly, but in good keeping order,
in medium heavy shipping weights.
The 1891 crop is of suitable sort, and
with last years fine crop will do very
much towards re- establishing Virginias
reputation for fine shipping leaf abroad,
and in increasing our orders for same.
Planters will post themselves further
through reliable commission firms.

A Conish Custom,

Of the more mdern and wholly quaint
and innocent customs of Cornwall few
pleasant ILLUSTRATORS may be cited. The
fish wives of ancie1, st. Ives are an in
corrigible lot Shouh you visit the town
at the height of pileIard fishing, and en-
ter the dark CELLAR where hundreds of
women and girls are engaged in "Dulk-
ing" or sailing, thefish. scores of grin
ming Amazons will rush at you. and the
feetest one will daib your shoes gener-
ously with the odrous fish oil which
has drained from tn, piles of curing fish.
This is called "wipiig the shoe," and if
you do not respond with tribute of at
least half crown for luck of the fair
maids that feed ard clothe the poor
that is, the pilchald fshes-your subse-
quent ''hustling" by these savory
wenches will certainly cost you a new
suit of clothing. Tie same custom, save
that the daubing is done with miners
clay" prevails within the mines, where
the stranger is expected to pay some
thing for his initiation into their mys-

How Playing Marbles Are Made.

Nearly all the common marbles which
drag down the pockets of our boys are
made in Oberstein, Germany. They are
made from the refuse of the agate and
stone quarries in that neighborhood.
The stone is broken into small cubes by
blows of light hammer. These small
blocks of stone are thrown by the shovel
full into the hopper of small mill,
formed of bed Of stone, having its sur
face grooved with concentrated burrows;
above these is the runner" which is
made of hard wood having a level face
on its lower surface. The upper block
is made to revolve rapidly, water being
delivered upon the grooves of the bed
stone where the marbles are being
rounded 1t takes about fifteen minutes
to finish bushel Of good marbles ready
for swapping" One mill will turn out
10000 marbles per week. The very
hardest CRACKERS" as the boys call
them, are made by slower process,
somewhat analogous, however, to the
other New York Telegram.
