a GENTLE CRITICISM.

A young lady, and one whose opinion
THE GLOBE prizes highly, writes and
gently criticises the recent war article
appearing in these columns. She says
"you have seasoned it a little too high
with mild spices Of profanity for strictly
moral readers or ears polite" Now this
all may be true. THE GLOBE does not
attempt any defense Of itself for pro-
family it may use or for that which it may
cause others to use. In fact THE GLOBE
maintains that under all reasonable cir
cumstances profanity should be elimi-
mated from sentences, and it should under
| no consideration comprise a sentence in
itself. But the young lady who so gently
calls US down, should remember that since
h~istory's birth it has teemed with the
"strange oaths" of the soldier. And
there are times when justice is only COM
passed by using some frightful swear
word And the vocabulary Of vulgar
man, when it comes to finished and
graceful swearing, is never equalled by
the explosives kept in stock by a woman.
We have watched women and We have
heard them swear. They do not swear
like a man, no more than they can throw
like a man. but they swear, in their way,
lust the same, and THE GLOBE insists
that it IS amusing. For instance a wO.
man will shrek, "COnsarn that fellow"
or plague take the luck" with a look
of scorn that is never equalled by man
in his widest and most imprisoned
moods. We have heard most highly ac-
complished and cultured christian ladies
remark with an emphasis that implied a
greater meaning than the mere words
conveyed, "Thunder and Blixen." All
these charming phrases seemed shocking
to our refined and enlarged ear, yet it
may be that only men use cuss words.
A lady once told us that when a sweet
faced dimpled child came up to you and
placed its sweet little chubby hands with
mOlasscs daubed fingers on your Sun
day pantaloOns, it might be we'll to re-
member that of such was the kingdom
of heaven, but she supposed that it would
be much more natural for a man to wear
and so it would!

SMALL THINGS FIRST.

A St. Paul paper devOtes several col.
depends as much upon a diversity OF
crops as upon the advantages of locality.
That is, the paper says, that "a million
dollar grocery house at the gateway Of
an empire would probably fail to make a
village of the spot, and might soon be-
come sWamped, whereas a million dollars
cut up into 100000 business concerns of
all kinds would tend to make a metrOpO-
lis of the place." and the histories Of all
cities prove this statement true. In
enumerating the different articles that
consumed by St. Paul and it's immediate
surroundings, we find a pickle factory, a
pepper factory, canning factories, willow
goods, baskets, brOOms, bristle brushes
axe and pick handles, wheel barrows,
show case manufactures, curtain pole
turner's, barrel bungs, cork cutting in
dustries, lodge regalias, window screen
factories, slipper factories, the manufac-
ture of straw goods, carriage trimmings,
umbrellas, wire goods, etc, etc.
1t is claimed that most all of these
goods are manufactured in the east, al
most exclusively, and that the west could,
with profit, consume materials wanted,
in many instances, in manufacturing for
home supply hundreds of articles. And

AS THEY GROW.

The progress of railroad construction
in the United States has been very rapid
within a few years. The entire mileage
of more than one hundred and fifty six
thousand miles is now operated by six
hundred and nine companies, but as a
matter of fact most of these corporations
are mere subsidiary. According to the
recent report Of the secretary OF the in
t~erstate commerce commission all but
about seventeen per cent Of the total
railway mileage Of the United States is
directly operated by One hundred and
forty-two companies. During the year
formerly reporting as independent oper-
rating companies, had been consolidated
under new names, and thirty nine had
been merged into existing systems. At
the rate at which consolidation has been
proceeding the railroads Of the country
will be owned and operated by perhaps
not more than a dozen corporations ten
years hence.
And what is bad about the whole bust
ness is that the stronger they get the
more dictatorial and arrogant they be-
come. Whether it is a wild cat scheme
or not, The GLOBE favOrs government
control Of railways. Ownership is Wis
ionary, but the government could con-
troll them.

Wonderful Cures.

Sir Humphrey Davy was once
tempted into playing an amusing
practical joke by way of testing the
curative powers of imagination.
When the properties Of nitrous oxide
gas were discovered, DR.. Beddoes,
Jumping to the conclusion that it
must be q specific for paralysis, chose
subject upon whom to try it, and
Sir Humphrey consented to admins
ter the gas. Before doing 80, Davy
desiring to note the degree of animal
temperature, placed small Their
mometcr under the paralytic's tongue.
Thanks to DIR. Beddoes, the poor
fellow felt sure of being cured by the
process, although utterly in the dark
az to the nature of it. Fancying
that the thermometer was the magi-
cal instrument which was to make a
new man of him, he no sooner felt it
under his tongue than he declared
that it acted like a charm throughout
his body. Sir Humphrey wickedly
accepted the cure, and day after day
for a fortnight went through the
same simple ceremony, when he was
able to pronunce the patient cured.
NJ. Tolcipelli. Roman physician,
played a similar trick upon some of
his hospital patients, who were great
ly affected whenever powerful mag
nets were brought near them. Plac-
them under exactly the same condi-
tions to ali appearance, but taking
particular care to exclude magnetic
influence, he found that every one of
them was disturbed in the same de-
gree as when the magnets were actu-
ally employed.

Thought the News Fresh.

Some of the newspapers in different
parts of the country are entertaining
readers by printing reports from
their own columns of events of inter
est that have passed into history.
For instance, Philadelphia paper
publishes the dispatches that it re-
ceivcd from the field during the war,
and Boston journal revives the &C.
currenccs Of fifty years ago. An
amusing mistake growing ont of this
practice happened in southwestern
Oregon recently. There paper is
publishing a selection Of items from its
files of thirty years ago, the historical
past in that part of the country. The
story of u terrible Indian massacre
of settlers on the Klamath River was
retold in one of the issues. The
new" aroused the Sympathics and
inhamed the inauguration of citi-
zen of Gold Beach, who took up his
paper in the intervals of blowing and
seeding, when his mind was perhaps
too weary to observe the date of the
sensations. Like a public spirited
man, he at once raised the ncighbor-
hood, and found others equally be-
hind the time with himself. Notices
were posted, public meeting was
called, and company of volunteers
was organized to take the field
against the redskins. Finally, it oc-
Cured to cautious volunteer" that
it might be we'll to communicate with
Portland and ascertain the exact pos
ture of affairs before embarking on
the campaign. The result Of his in
quirics has been cause of more dis
comfort to the organizer of the e1pe-
dition than taking the field in grim
earnest would have been.-Ncw York

The Virginia, Coal and Iron Com
pany at Big Stone Gap, Virginia !
has just completed a map for distriE-
1ntion among manufacturers, showing
and describing the great body of val
liable coal and timber land owned by
said company in the Powc!l's rive,
water shed. The company's proper
ty in the territory named embraces
about 1000 acres of the finest virgin
forest to be found anywhere in the
South, as well as carrying possibly
the most valuable coal deposits to be
found in the United States.
One of the principal objects in is
suing this descriptive map is to place
before operators of wood working cs-
adjustments the superior advantages
of Big Stone Gap for industries Of
this kind over almost any other point
in the South.
1t is the policy of the owners OF
this great body of fine timber to see
that it is all worked up and utilized
here at Big Stone Gap. The great
folly heretofore displayed by the peo-
pie of this country has been the reck-
less destruction of the choicest TIM
Der by the invasion of the portable
saw-mill Comparatively little VI
the timber of value is ;miss on the
great boundary owned by the Virgin
ia, Coal and Iron Company, and Mr..
Taggart says it is useless for a saw
mill man to open negotiations with
him unless he is able to take the
timber clean as he comes to it, util-
izing the small and Objectionable
trees in the manufacture Of box
shocks { knockcd-down boxes), wood
pulp, fannie acid, hubs, Spolcs, han
dies, etc
The company, as soon as it has
closed u sufficient number of con-
tracts to Justify the undertaking, will
Mt once commence the construction OF
a flumc on Powcll's river, $500 feet
in length. This humc will carry Il
sufficient volume of water to loat
the timber from ita hcad---to which
point the timber is to be brought by
means Of sluicc- damS--to the factory
sites. The water carried by this
fumc will also furnish the ego to
$50 horse power to be used in run
ming the machinery Of the different
plants.
BY this arrangement it will be
seen that manufacturers, with the ex
ccllent shipping facilities afforded
by the different convenient railroad
connections and those running in
here, the almost'incxhauStable supply
of material so near ut hand and the
reasonable leases Of water power
that can be secured Of the company,
will have advantages hardly afforded
at any other point.

WHY TIE SOUTH IS POOR.

Northern papers generally speak
of our country being prosperous
while Southern people feel the pinch
of hard times. We have often point
ed ont the one great reason of orr
financial depression, viz, federal tax
alton, but we reproduce portion Of
DR.. j. 5. Curry's remarks at Nash
vile, which throws light on this sub
ject. He said, "More money is re-
turned to Northern States from the
federal treasury, than they pay in.
Illinois pays in $3.ss5, 900, and re-
ceives from the federal treasury, 80
043.000. Indiana pays $2.63O,000
and receives $40, 10000. Michigan
pays $685., 600 and so with New
Yolk, Pennsylvania and other States.
This vast difference is made up from
taxes paid by Southern States, yea;E
after year. Isthcre any wonder that
THE cry of hard times is heard south Of
J the Potomac99 s.

Larrimore yesterday. Dawson was

Sunday would drive out TO her ia

out driving. He was the proud pos
sersor of $500 diamond ring, which
he transferred to his girls finger one
Sunday morning as they started to a
country church to attend meeting.

John 4. buchanan.

If there arc special reasons why
Hon. John \. Buchanan has stronger
claims to seat on thc Appellate
bench than other advocates Of South
west Virginia it is certainly time
that his friends were pointing him
out.
1t has become provcrbial among
certain hero worshippinS individuals
to claim the earth and the fullncsS
thereof" for Mr.. Buchanan. Why,
we have never been able to discern.
Did he ever make sacrifice for the
party Where was he in the turbu-
lent days of 10, and for several
years thereafter, when wanted to
make the race for congress? Where,
when Connolly F. Trigg and r. R.
Henry came out in the face Of dis
NAL defeat? His health was bad.
But when the skies were cleared md
the way was plain Mr.. Buchanan
yielded to the demands of his par
ty.
Any good democrat could have
been elected then. The tide had
changed, and no one knew i, better
than John \. Buchanan. 1t is no
uncertain sound with him. His adj
roitness as politician has never been
surpassed in the history of Virginia
politics. Gratitude finds no dwelling
place in his political bosom.
Where was lie when his kinsman,
A. i. Buchanan, Of Tazewell. was
an applicant few weeks since, for
the office of United States marshal
of the western district of of Virginia?
If he ever spike word in his favor,
no one ever heard it, or if he ever
wrote line no one eier read it.
This too, in face of the fact that III
each of his contests Beau Buchanan
not only worked for his election, but
spent his own money with an I'M
spareing hand. These are facts, and
there is no use trying to whip the
devil around the stump" with a de-
NAL. We do not know how A. B.
Buchanan feels about the matter.
1t might be all right with him, but
it does not clear the political skirts
of this modern political St. John of
the Southwest.
That MIR. Buchanan made good
representative in congress, no one has
denied, but there wasn't money
enough in the job, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that he was appealed to
by the press and people to stand at
the post awhile longer, he resigned
to take care of a very large and lu-
crative law practice.
Now isn't it singular that when
there is another honor soon to be
awarded to one of the learned law.
yers of the Southwest, that there arc
those who would place it on tile brow
| of MIR. Buchanan as though there was
mot another to be found worthy to re.
lceivc it. Why not have some con
Isideration for q mans preferments
