Rivals of Niagara.

Mr.. Bryant, of Philadelphia, and
1rof. Kenaston, of Washington, have
lately returned from an exploration
of Grand Falls, Labrador, in which
they have been completely successful.
Mr.. Bryant gives glowing account
of the magnificence of the falls. Half
a mile above the falls the river is 400
yards wide. Three rapids, similar to
those of Niagara, begin here. The
banks narrow at the falls to a width
of 80 to 200 feet. The last rapid is
lSS feet in length. They here rise in
to great cones, then plunges down
from granite ledge into a great
basin. The height of the falls were
accurately measured. 1t is BIG feet.
The banks widen below the basin.
On the southern side of the river below
the falls reddish cliffs rise 800 feet.
Mist rises in an immense column over
the falls showing rainbows. The
deafening roar is head 20 miles of.
Mr.. Bryant took aneroid readings and
photographed the falls from various
points. The party collected over 200
specimens of plants and made valua-
BILE scientific records. Mr.. Bryant
made meteorological observations all
the trip. Prof. Kenaston
made compass survey of the river all
the way down sketching its topog-
raphy.-[Ex.

There are 413 species of trees found
within the limits of the United States
and Territories, sixteen of which,
when properly seasoned, will sink in
water. The heaviest of these is the
black iron wood, (Condalia ferrea),
found only in Southern Florida, and
which is more than 20 per cent. heav-
Ter than water. OF the other fifteen,
the. best known is the lignum vitae,
(Guaiacum sanctum), and the man
grave, (rhizophoro mangle). Texas
and New Mexico, lands full of queer,
creeping, walking and inanimate
things, are the home of species of
oak, (quervus grisee), which is about
II times heavier than the water, and
which, when green, will sink almost
as quick as a bar of iron. 1t grows
only in the mountain regions, and has
been found westward as far as the
Colorado desert, where it grows at an
elevation of 10000 feet. All the spe-
cies heavier than water belong to
tropical Florida, or in the arid West
and Southwest.-[Ex.

In your issue
of Sept. 10Th appears an article headed
"At Work Again." an article on insu-
rance, stating that the farmers Of
Nicholas county had met and organ
lied an insurance company for insu-
ring isolated property in that and adj
Joining counties, and that they will
soon organize in this county; that it
will be run on the same plan; that is,
as it is conducted in Fleming county,
where it has cost 81 60 on the ST 600
to insure house for l6 years, or less
than one-fifth Of what we are paving,
etc. Now, defy any living man TO
show any company with such record.
1t has never been born, nor never
will be. Besides, in Fleming it is a
hat-passing company, and they wait
until q house burns and then collect
the money. "A man pays if he wants
to, and il he does not want to, he lets
it go. l am informed, on reliable au-
thority, that one-third of the policy
holders in Fleming county are law
proof, consequently, you cannot make
them pay If you wanted to. / expect
our farmers, at least great many of
them, recollect the Old Kentucky and
the Globe. that were going to furnish
every body cheap insurance, and a
great many of them the Changers
Life Insurance Co., of Georgetown,
that did the same thing. But they
were short-lived, and l can point you
to dozen men in this county who
lost from $500 to $500 by them,
Cheap insurance is like cheap beef.
tough and hard to digest. No one
favors cheap insurance more than i
do, but great companies that are one
hundred years old ought to know
what it costs TO insure house, and do
know much more about insurance
than they pretend to know about
farming. You may think l am
writing for my own Interest, and to a
great extent am, but it is dollars to
doughnuts that the Fleming county
insurance company, or the Nicholas
county company, either, will not be
in existence in five years. If you
want cheap insurance in good COM
panies it will cost you little more to
start on, but in case Of loss you will
find it one thousand per cent. cheaper.
There are too many big companies in
the country for insurance to be too
high. There are plenty of companies
that are independent of each other
and that make their own rates, and
you can almost get insurance at your
own price, if you are pleased with the
indemnity. venture to assert there
is not farmer in this or any county
who will deposit $4,000 in a bank
without a paid up capital for a good
sum, and which is not managed by
competent men. Still they will insure
their houses and even their lives with
companies that are managed by men
who have no experience, and know
no more about running an insurance
company than you do about Corliss
engine.

to try bottle of Chamberlain's Pain

the bottle had all been used she was a

1t has been announced that the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
will distribute no more silkworm eggs
and purchase no more cocoons. In a
word, owing TO the lack of an appro-
priation of funds by Congress it no
longer gives active support to this
industry.

AT this season of the year people
can not be too careful about keeping
their bowels regular. Bilious and
malarial diseases are often brought
on by allowing the bowels to become
torpid. An occasional dose of st.
Patrick's Pills is all that would be re-
quired, and might prevent serious
sickness. For sale by Il. G. Julian.

The New South.

The Chattanooga Tradesman says:
"The number of new industries es-
tablished during the past three months
reaches total of 1000 as compared
to 1,070 for the corresponding quarter
of 1890 and 1875 in the same quarter of
1889.
1t is believed that many of the in
dustries that have been projected in
the Southern States during the past
quarter have been retarded and in
some cases abandoned, owing to the
tightness of money matters. Not
withstanding these difficulties, how
ever, the industrial interests Of the
South have maintained remarkable
activity and, after making due allow
ances for those industries that have
not gone into active operation, this
section will still show a healthy and
substantial growth for the past three
months.
During the quarter ending October
/, there were established in the South
ern States three boot and shoe factO-
ries, five breweries, thirty-siX brick
and tile works, two car works, four
teen canning factories, eight COM
presses and forty-nine cotton and
woolen mills, North Carolina leading
in this line of development with
twelve to her credit; Alabama, eight !;
Georgia, seven and the others equally
divided among the remaining South
ern States. Sixty development and
improvement companies have been or
ganized in the South in the past three
months. Thirty-three electric light
companies have been organized in the
past quarter, twenty-four flour and
grist mills and flfy-nine fOunderies
and machine shops, as compared with
eighty-three for the corresponding
quarter of 1890. The establishment
of machine shops and fOunderies is q
gratifying feature in Southern devel-
opment. There have been nine fur
naces established during the past
three months, fifty-eight mining and
quarrying companies have been or
ganized and .wenty-three oil mills
erected. $50.
The remarkable development of the
phosphate industry in Florida is shown
by the fact that thirty-eight compa-
MES have been organized in that State
for development of phosphate lands,
also in Georgia, one in Kentucky and
three in North Carolina, making to-
tai of twenty-three for the quarter.
One hundred and twenty-six rail-
road companies have been organized.
During the past three months six roll
ing mills have been established, thirty
nine street and electric railways,
Texas leading, with twelve to her
credit, Alabama, Georgia and Tenn
essee having five each Arkansas and
Florida three each; Louisiana and
North Carolina two each, and Virginia
and West Virginia one each. Six
tanneries have been erected, twenty
seven water works and 213 wood
working establishments, this industry
leading all others in the number of
companies organized. The establish
ment Of woodworking plants has
been very equally divided in the
Southern States, and the timber re-
sources of this section are rapidly be-
ing utilized. With the Ill miscella-
neous enterprises reported, the total
for the past quarter makes crafty
ing showing, when the conditions SUR
rounding industrial development du-
ring the past three months are taken
into consideration"

MARRIED A TYPEWRITER.
Judge Masterson Battles a Young ant
Handsome Widow.

Judge MastersOn Battles a Young and
Handsome Widow.
1t was a surprise to the Wall-street con-
tingent and to men about town yesterday to
hear that eX-Judge Murat II. Masterson had
married his pretty type writer. The Judge
and his charming brunette bride are now
spending their honeymoon at the Sturtevant
House. Judge Masterson has only been
known in New York for two years,
but in that time he has managed
to become familiar figure at the
fashionable hotels. the race-track and on
Change. He has an Office in Wall street,
and enjoys the reputation Of being shrewd
and successful inaneier. He acquired
his title of Judge in Colorado, where
he is said to have been quite a
noted citizen The Judge first came
into prominence in this city about
on very friendly terms with Mrs. Alice Hop
knson, handsome young widow who oc-
cupied fiat at 90 West Thirty-sixth street.
One night the police of the tenderlon pre-
cinct was summoned to the fiat by the re-
ports of pistol shots. 1t was said that Mrs.
Hopkinson had quarreled with the Judge and
had fired several shots at him, none OF which
caused him any injury. Judge MastersOn
said the quarrel with the pretty widow was
the result of dispute in regard TO some
business transactions which he had had
with her. He refused to make
complaint against Mrs. HOpkinSOn and
the case was dropped. Mrs. Master
son was in Mexico at the time.
She hurried to New York and put up at the
Grand Union Hotel. She had a stormy in
terview with her husband, and decided 10
part with him. In few hours after the
meeting Mrs Masters0n dropped dead in the
hotel corridor. Heart disease, accelerated
by unusual excitement, was given as the
cause of her demise. After that Judge
Masterson went to Chicago. He was an
interested spectator mt the Cronin trial
and took warm interest in Miss Mary L..
POstgate, who was acting as stenOg-
rapher for q Chicago newspaper. He
was introduced to Miss Postgate, and
he secured her to act as his secre-
tary, with the consent of her parents.
Miss PoStgate accompanied her employer 10
New York and was installed in his Office as
typewriter and secretary. She boarded up
town with friends, and Judge MasterSon
showed the fair Chicagoan the newest
places and the most attractive features of
the metropolis. 1t was rumored that
Mrs. HOpkinson had heard of Judge
Mastersons attentions to Miss Post
gate, and had intimated that her pistol
might again be called into play. She called
at the Sturtevant House several times, but
the clerks refused to permit her to see the
Judge. 1t is said that Judge Mastersen sud-
denly made up his mind TO battle the tena-
cous young widow, so a few nights ago he
called in a clergyman and was married to
Miss tgate.-Cleveland Leader.
