The South had In the year 1890 a
period OF prosperity without precs.
dent In the last three decades OF lie
history. 1t waa o period Of remarka.
bic activity in every department OF
industrial and commercial enterprise.
Nearly 1000 new productive under.
,akings were organized during the
year, according TO the Manufacturers
Record and q large proportion OF
those organized in 1889 we're carried
to completion. The assessed yalua-
lion of property for 1890 was greater
by 1910. GOO. 900 than in 1889, and
greater by $500. 900, 600 than in
1880. The cotton crop was 7,3I3,726
balls, or 296.0l9 more than in any
previousyear. Southern cotton wills
took 549,478 bales, as against $685.
600 bales five years before. There
vas an increase of 279.759 spindles
employed upon cotton in the twelve
months Of 1890. The production Of
pig iron was 100000, or 1000, 600
tons more than In 1889. During the
year the South built 2.499 miles of
railroad, against 2,296 in 1880. The
gross earnings of Southern railroads
for 1890 were Sl00.s94,5l7, q gain of
Sl0.604,0i7 over the previous year.
What 10 nore important from the
point OF view Of the investor, net
earnings showed a proportionate in
crease. Bey ond question tho railroad
ierests of the South are more prom
lsing to-day than thes, OF any other
81 ction Of the Union. Much of their
prosperity In the rast year has been
due to the increased movement oil
Southern products iDten led for ex-
portation. The value of exports from
all Southern por,s in the eleven
months ended November 80, 1890, was
6S,293,243, or S24,14l .0lO more
than in the like months of 1889. The
significance OF these figures will be
seen when it is considered that the
increase Of exports for the res. oftbt
country was but $4,834,477. Th,
paying crops Of the country-thost
most in demand sbrosd-are thos,

tai. Their prosperity is indicate d BY
the fsct that their net profits in the
twelve months ended November 80
1890, amounted TO III per cent. al
their capital. With such profits it il
not surprising to learn that the ma.
Iional banka OF the South have much
more than doubled in number and
capital in the last decade. The pop
ulation Of the South, including the
District Of Columbia. was over 49,

CLEVELAND ON TRUE DEMooLACY.
The speech of ex- President Cleve.
land at the gathering of Jacksonlan
democrats in;Phi'adelphia Thursday
evening was in his best vein. Re.
spending TO a toast eulogizing "the
principles of true democracy," the
ex.President undertook to demon
strate the proposition that they are
enduring because they are right and
invincible because they are iust.'
Much wonder is expressed at times
by students Of our political history at
the staying qualities of the democrat.

OF Its competitors and promises to

times pronounced il dead. But ad.
versity seems to quicken it. After
defeat 1t soon reappears in the field
hopeful and vigorous to renew the
fight and down its adversary. What
is the secret OF this perennial vitality

GREEK MYTHOLOGY.

Taught a.......

A SehUOl WhsfO the GreciAa HOEO00 Were
Taught. ...-....
In the mountains Of Greece there was
a great cave, and in that cave lived .
man who was half q horse. He had the
head and breast Of q man, but horses
body and legs. He WINS famed, writes
ing more about every thing than any
one else in all Greece. He knew about
the stars, and the plants Of earth, which
were good for medicine, and which were
poisonous. He was the best archer with
the bow, and the best player of the
harp, he knew most songs and stories
Of old times, for he was the last of a
people half-horse and half-man, who
had dwelt In ancient times on the hills.
Therefore, the Kings in Greece sent
their sons to him to be taught shooting,
sir.ying, and telling the truth, and that
was all the teaching they had then, ex-
cept that they learned to hunt, and fish,
and fight, and throw spears, and toss
the hammer and the stone. Many of
the boys taught by Chiron became IA
nous. Among them was Orpheus, who
played the harp so sweetly that wild
boasts followed his minstrelsy, and even
the trees danced after him, and settled
where he stopped playing; and there
was Nfopsus, who could understand what
the birds say to each other, nnd there
was Dutes, the handsomest of men; and
Tilltys, the best steersman of n ship;
and Castor, with his brother Poly
deuces, the boxer; and Heracles, the
strongest man in the whole world, was
there; and Lynceus, whom they call
:Ieen.cye, because he could see so far,
and he could see the dead men in their
graves under the earth; and there was
Euphemus, so swift and light-footed
that he could run upon the gray sea,
and never wet his feet; and there were
Calais and Zetes, the two sons of the
North Wind, with golden wings upon
their feet; and many others were there
whose names it would be too long to
ell. They all grew up together in the
the hills, good friends, healthy, and
brave, and strong.

County Official Paper
. Death OF KAlAkAua.

Az announced by special dispatch,
Kslskauas King Of the Sandwich
Islands, died at Gan Francisco Tues
day afternoon. The cause Of his
death was BriGhtS disease Of the kid
neyG. A San Francisco dispatch of
the 10th gives the following:
"KinR Kalskaus's remains will be
embalmed at once and while no def
mite arrangements have been made
yet for the funeral services here and
the removal Of tho remains to the Isl-
and Kingdom, it 10 probable that the
services will be hell in the Trinity
Episcopal church on Thursday and
the remains will leave here for Homo
lulu on tho United States Flagship
Charleston, before the close of the
week.
"Flags on all the public building in
this city were placed at half mast
this afternoon and the Hawaiian on
sign il also half mast above the Palace
Hotel.
"Kslsksus became King Of Hawaii
in February, 1874. His successor
will be his sister tho Princess Liliuo-
kalsni, who has been acting as Queen
Regent during Kalskau's absence

CRABS EYES AS MEDICINE.
They Arc Used to Correct Acidity OF the
Stomach.

They Arc Used to Correct Acidity OF the
Stomach.
Crabs eyes are employed to some ex-
tent as n remedy for acid stomachs.
They are not actually the eyes Of the
crab, but simply small concretions of
lime found in the stomachs of crayfish
at the time when they are about to cast
their shell and make new ones. 1t is
supposed, says the Chicago Times, that
these connections are designed by nat
ure to provide material for the new
shells. At oil events, having been de.
posted originally by animals, they are
more readily absorbed into the human
system. before being administered as
medicine they nre pulverized.
Oyster-shclls are used in precisely the
same way and for the same purpose,
being prepared preliminarily by wash
ing and pu1verizing. The pulverized
shells orc placed in solution in water,
the heavier and conrser particles fall.
ing to the bottom. BY pouring Off the
solution thus obtained and permitting
1t to prccipitate such fine particles of
lime rs 1t still retains, On exceedingly
refined deposit is ut length secured.
Cuttlefish bones, from sepia fish of com.
mercc-the same that are used for can
ary birds-are ground up and used in
the same fashion and to Serve q like
medical usefulness.
Religions in the United States.
The census announcement that there
are hundred and forty religious bodies
in the United States, exclusive of many
independent congregations, will be re-
ceived, says the Providence Or. ~
Journal, with some surprise by most
people whose knowledge Of different
sects does not embrace moro than q
1ozen or twenty at the most. In the
list rs disclosed by the preliminary bull
letin issued by the Census Bureau from
Washington nrc tho General Six Princi-
Die Baptists, the Schwerkfeldians, the
Theosophical Society, the Life and Ad-
vent Union, and others which to n ma.

The Fifth of July.

If the writer mistakes not, it was the
Father of His Country who once re-
marked to friend: 1.-The Fourth Of
July is great day, but it isn't marker
to the Fifth" Possibly George and
Lafayette had been indulging in too
much sherry. However that may be, 1t
IS a fact that some some people celebrate
the glorious Fourth to such an extent
that the following day finds them
somewhat fat1gued and wishing that the
rational holiday had never been estab-
lished. That is the usual case ln large
cities. The man whom the Fifth OF
:Jniy finds in normal condition is the
one who spends the Fourth quietly, ra-
t1onally, thoroughly, and out OF town,
where there are no excesses, where he
can commune with nature. Such man
will exhibit his wisdom by taking the
Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad-the Du-
luth Short Line-aud visiting one of the
haantiful natural resorts along its route, !,
saw White Bear Lake, Forest Lake,
Chisaqo Lake or Taylors Falls, either OF
which undoubtedly ranks high az a
breathing spot far from the madd1ng
crowd. The Saint Paul s. Duluth is
aIsO the best line between the Twin
Cities ana Duluth and West Superior.
