He Is undoubtedly the man who invented
a perfectly sure method of blowing safes
open with nitro-glycerine-an achievement
which rendered the old time lock, ouce so
trusted, almost useless.
He was caught in Cincinnati in 1881 with
burglar tools in his possession, and suffered
a short imprisonment. A few days after
his release the safe of the treasurer of Lou
don county, Tenn, was blown open and
$4,000 taken. The burglars were caught
and most Of the cash recovered. As one of
them was with Coleman when found the
latter was taken too, but soon released, as
there was no proof against him. 1t now

At the Southern States Immigration
Convention. held in Asheville, North
Carolina. delegate from Virginia spoke
of the strong desire of the people Of that
State to enlarge its population. He told
of the many attractions of Virginia, the
advantages that it offers to desirable i'm
migrants, the variety Of crops that can he
raised from its soil, the casiness of acquir-
ing hand there, and the need of indus
trious settlers in nearly all the counties
of the State.
Not long ago, the Virginia State Board
of Agriculture took up the immigration
question. 1t appeared by an official re-
port before the Board that there arc 49,
600, 900 acres of tillablc land lying idle
in the State, and that this land is uncul-
tivated on account Of the lack of the
right kind of -nonrla- ta>oultiyatc it. The
State Commissioners of AgricultuTc nave
uiven notice that millions of these acres
Are Tor sale to farmers at low prices, and
that farms should be secured by settlers
who have at least small amount of cap
ital
The delegates from North Carolina at
the Ashcvillc immigration Convention
were also very desirOus to secure an in
crease Of the population also, and they
told all about the opportunities to he
found there by settlers. Similar reports
were made by the delegates from Geor-
gia and other Southern States.

States will yet obtain the kind Of immi-
grants required for the development OF
their resources. New York Sun.

A Fisherman's Paradise.

Right up in the western cornerof South
Carolina is perhaps the best trout fishing
region within the ssmo distance from.
New York. How it came to be so e
most interesting. There arc the foothills
and some of che mountains OF the Blue
Ridge, or, at least, of IL spur OF that
chain. The streams never had any trout
or fish of any sort in them. Yet on the
other side of the mountains all the wa.
tcrs were richly stocked. One year, not
SO very long ago, Gen. Wade Hampton,
who had summered there from boyhood.
took a barrel in u wagon and went over
the mountains to get as many trout as he
cculd. He came back with plenty, and
whenever no crossed stream on the east
side of the range, he threw handful Of
young trout in and passed along. Like
Br'cr Fox, he said nothing to nobody. In
yea, g two hs went again and ashsa
supposed never to have known 1sh.
He caught plenty. The next year tho
sparse population discovered their exis-
,ence Now the streams abound with
splendid trout.
