The Gro,cth of the South.

Statistics are said to be dull and stupid.
That may be true as a general thing, but
when you take an inventory of your
property and find that you are worth just
three times as much as you were ten years
ago then figures become more fascinating
than poetry and more thrilling than ora
tory The South will back us up in these
statements. When it pulled itself togeth-
er after the war it found that it had moth
Ing but bankruptcy and pluck as capital
in trade. It's motto was, "'the past is no
where the future is everywhere" " and it
drew its belt one hole tighter and started
in the race. The statistics which repre-
sented its progress are as exhilarating and
cheering as old wine Its coal output 20
years ago wars about 100000 tons now
it is nearly 100000 tons. In 1880 it
thought it was rushing along at a break
neck speed because it had erected mills
on its streams and manufactured 100000
bales of the cotton it had raised, but in
1890, only ten years later, it manufac-
tured 100000 bales and made contracts
for more mills. Before the war the sleepy
negro lay in the sun on top of iron mines
whose value was only suspected. Agri-
culture absorbed the peoples attention
and they let the negro sleep on. Now
the mines are worked, the bonanza has
been uncovered, dreams Of wealth have
become an inspiration the roar Of the
forge, the hum of the machinery are heard
everywhere, and old Pennsylvania is be-
ginning to tremble in her boots as she
surveys her vigorous and daring rival
The South has rolled up its sleeves and
proposes t. be rich again-richer than
ever. 1t has all the natural resource:
which attract capital and enterprise
Young men from the North on the look.
out for a career are making investment:
there, helping to develop the country
and they always receive a warm welcome
The tides of population, kept apart SC
long, are mingling their waters, and un
less the politicians raise row there won
be any North or any South twenty years
from now, and in their stead We shall
have a united, contented and prosperou
country. Therefore, hang the politician!

SONG TO A CHILD.

Thou little blossom in Gods world,
Thou child Of spring-time suns and showers,
Whose thoughts as white and pure are whorled
About thy soul as leaves of flowers,
Shun not caressing hands, that fain
Would bless the gold about thy brow,
Nor slight the love that longs in vain
For such a gift of God rs thou.
Be loving, as thou lovely art,
To all who kneei at childhood's throne;
For, oh, how lonely is the heart
That loves, and cannot love its own

A dentist in good practise uses over
1000 worth of gold a year in filling
teeth. Some prepare their own gold, get
ting it from a United States mint, and
then making it chemically pure. Others
get it from the gold-beaters, but the
greater part obtain it from dental supply
firms. This gold is put up in eight ounce
packages, packed in small glass yials,
each containing a fraction Of an ounce.
The cylindrical pieces Of gold in it are
gold foil of very soft and spongy kind.
When hammered into a hollow tooth one
of these cylinders will not take up one
twentieth Of the space it occupied in the
vial. There are several dental supply
factories in the country. The largest is
on Staten Island, and turns out 100000
in gold for dental purposes every year.

He listened to the long discourse without

reading aloud his speeches in the Nation

see him was like looking at the Jungfrau
or any othefsplendid natural phenomenon.
There was no doubt as to where he sat
for the conviction Of his identity was
forced upon one when he turned his mas
siye, overhanging forehead, with those
great, speculative, observant eyes full Of
lambent fire. He was as careful as a
woman about the delicate neatness of his
attire. He, like Mr.. Calhoun,
aIwayo listened must atieniivoly 10 any
Senator who was speaking but Mr.. Web

other intellectual giant had the floor,
had the air of protecting indulgence that
a superior being might wear to an infer
Tor. He was rarely offensive, but some
times showed digni6ed indulgence to
weakness that was hard to bear. Volu-
bic he never was" OF Calhoun she says :
"He wore his thick hair all the same
length and rather long, combed straight
back from the forehead. This, with his
brilliant eyes and unhinching gaze, gave
his head the expression Of an eagles.
His mouth was wide and straight; he
rarely smiled, and the firm, square chin
and grave manner made personality
striking in the extreme. He was tall
and slenderly made, quick and alert in

The writer is tempted to tell as tory at
the expense Of lovely and gifted lady
who began a few years ago a career as a
society reporter. Every week her copy
went to the editor beautifully written and
iaultless, considered as copy from the
printers point Of view. But any little
suggestion she wanted to make, she ran
it along with the article in the following
fashion "Mr. and Mrs. BrOwn-Smyth
gave on Monday an elegant blue dinner
Of IA covers. EFor goodness sake, spell
her name Smy-last week it went in
Smi, and she was as mad as hops about
it1. Mrs. Indigo Blueblood has sent out
cards for a ball, at which she will intro
duce into society her lovely daughter.
This is all right. This Mrs. Blueblood
has some sense and doesn't in the leafs
mind seeing her name in print. It's the
other Mrs. Blueblood we had the fuss
with. Mrs. Uptown gives pink tea as
soon as lent is over Don't stick her down
at the tail-end Of the column, whatever
you do. want TO please her anyhow,
because last week she just went in as one
Of the many others
fit had not been for the discriminate
ing editorial blue pencil that fashion and
society column would have been very de-
licious reading on Sunday morning-since
a printer follows copy, and parenthesis
on the paragraphs brim a plain paren-
thesis is to him, and it Is nothing more.

d. ThOman, of Chicago, Talks
to the Ledger in Regard
to the Columbian Ex-
position.

Leroy D. Thoman, a prominent
attorney ofChlcago, and a represent
alive of the Columbian Exposition
was in Mexico to-day on a visit to
DIR. Houston, of this city. Col.
Thoman was on his way home from
Texas where he had been in the
interest of the Worlds Fair. While
the Legislature of Texas made no
appropriation for the Worlds Fair,
the public spirited citizens of that
state have just held a large con-
vention and guaranteed $500, 600
for a building and display. This
$500, 900 is in $1.O0 shares. The
company is incorporated and the
stock is going like hot cakes. Col.
Thoman says that the machinery
is working smoothly and that the
various states are coming up, as g
general thing, nobly, and that Chi
cago is awake to the exigencies o.
the occasion. He says that the
success of the fair is a surety
beyond any question and that even
the most sanguine will be surprised
at the results.
