One Of the most remarkable schemes
ct the day, in the opinion of the New
York World, is the plan of Sir Cecil
Rhodes, the Premier of Cape Colony,
South Africa, to build telegraph line
from the Cape to Egypt. Sir Cecil, it
is said, is now on his way to Cairo ia
look after details, and the project, chi
merical as it may seem, has been indorsed
by many public men in England. Sir
Cecil's proposition takes the British
fancy, because his telegraph is intended
chiefly az the first thread upon which &
great British empire in Africa is to be
strung. 1t is believed in England that
the Germans will yet get out of Africa
and leave their extensive possessions on
the east coast to the Union Jack Then
England will have the unbroken right of
way from the Cape to Cairo, by the way
of Zanzibar and the district OF the Great
Lakes.

Says the Boston Transcript: "Fcw
biographies mention the district ia the
South known as the Poor Mans Belt. ;
It is tract of country generally very
sandy and producing little timber save
the long leafed pine. 1t begins not far
south of Richmond, Va, and extends
nlong the Atlantic and Gulf coasts into
Texas. Its length is not far from 1900
miles, while it is from 50 to $50 miles
in width. The soil is poor, but tho
forests produce not only lumber in
abundance, but also large quantities OF
pitch, tar and turpentine. II got a bad
name during anti bellum days because
no cotton was raised in it, but, since the
South Is beginning to look elsewhere
than to the cotton field for its wealth,
the Poor Mans Belt promises to be-.
come one of the richest pats of the
Southern States"

R. G. DUN'S BUSINESS REVIEW
Condition and General Outlook Of The
Prospects Of The Country.

II. G.. Dun Il Co.'s weekly review
of trade says: Two important events,
the defeat of anti-silver legislation in
the senate and house and The con-
certed deposit of god by New York
banks in the treasury in exchange for
legal tenders, have a directly opposing
but powerful influence upon the mar
kets, add it is yet too early to deter
mine what the net result may be.
The confidence manifested by banks
strengthened the markets on Thurs
day, but the decisive defeat of the sill
yer legislation in the house renewed
the Encouragement and apprehension.
Southern and western trade at Bal
tinore is greater than last year in
dry goods, millinery, cottons and
shoes. Pittsburg iron is in poor de-
mand. Business at Louisville is tho
full average, with sales of leaf to.
bacco very large; and at Little Rock
fair with improving collections. AT
other points in the south trade is not
ably improving, especially iii dry
goods and groceries; and at New
Orleans prospects are considered
bright, although cotton is dull and SUI
gar quiet Cotton declined 3-l6 on
sales of 2.200,0 bales. No import
ant change appears in receipts or in
exports. The continued pressure of
the enormous unsold stocks here and
abroad is felt. There never has been
more phenomenally satisfactory
sale for textile manufactures of dry
goods.
1t is not by all realized that the gold
reserve of $4,000 900 is not to be
used except fof the protection of cir
culation was expressly intended to be
used for that purpose, and as far us it
is so used the notes 60 into the treas
ury in place of the gold taken ont.
The banks, by placing the gold they
do not need in the treasury instead of
notes to the extent of S5S0,000 this
week is reasonable hope that their
confidence may lesson the disposition
to withdraw gold. In other respects
the state of trade is satisfactory, ex-
cept that the severe storms and cold
have much interfered with trade, col
lections and transportation during the
week, especially in the west.
Cottons are higher, especially prints,
though cut is seen in bingham, but
most mills arc sold for months ahead.
The output of pig iron February /
was III ,45l tons. against 173 ,068 last
month, and unsold stocks arc reduced
6,78l tons. The sales of mill rails
are noted with one large order for
Cuba, but plate and bar irons are
weak.
The business failures during the
last week number for the United
States 222, Cana Ia Al. Total 266,
against Sol the prcviou, week.

They Lived On Human Flesh.

For sixteen days the three sailors
rescued from the Norwegian ship
Thekla subsisted on human flesh.
They strangled a fourth companion
and lived on raw strips Of meat cut
from his corpse. From the time Of
their rescue until today the three I'M
fortunates have been insane from
their suflerings in the rigging of the
foundered ship. Two of them re-
covered sufficiently today to tell the
story OF the Thekla's voyage. Tie
Thekla was in heavy weather, they
say, from December 2, when she left
Philadelphia. Her decks were floated
almost constantly. deck-houses and
rails were swept away and the steer
ing apparatus was broken. When it
was found that there was no hope of
bringing the ship into port, the mas
ter, mate and eight seamen got away
in q boat. The other boats had been
smashed by the waves before they
could be lowered. Nine men were
obliged to remain in the rigging.
Ihey were unable to go forward from
below, and i've of them, made insane
by exposure and priyation, jumped
overheard. The other four remained
aboard from December 2 to January
z, tae day of the rescue. On the
thirteenth day lots were drawn to de-
termne which one of the four should
be killed and eaten. The lot fell
twice in succession to Dutch sailor,
and he was strangled and devoured by
the others. The only drinking water
the seamen got was the dew they
licked from the ropes.
