NEW DYES FOR COTTON.
SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES
THAT LIGHTEN LABOR.
Beautiful and Brilliant Colors
That Do Not Fade-Carpets
Where the Color Stays as
Bright as When New.

Within the last few years science
has been at work in the matter of
dyeing, and the results are the fast
diamond dyes for cotton-turkey-.
red, pink, purple, orange, olive
green, brown, etc. These dyes
make colors so fast that even wash
ing in strong soap-suds will not.

get the fast diamond dyes for cot
Ion when she wants TO dye cotton,
she will be able to dye absolutely.
fast, non-fading colors that will
stay until the goods are worn out.
A practical dyer, writing to The
Weavers' Herald, says: II used to
dye with roots and barks, but after;
all my work, (and it was tedious
job,) I was not satisfied, for the
colors were homely and often faded.
At last I commenced to use dia-5
mond dyes, and the process is SO
simple and easy that the work is a
pleasure. I have used carpets
made of rags dyed with diamond
dyes three years, and the co'ors
are still as when new" u
Many of the diamond dye fast
cotton colors are SO superior to
other dye-stuffs that they are used
by dyers everywhere, even in the
big mills and the large dye houses.
Imitators of these reliable dyes
may claim that their cotton dyes
are "just as good" but practical
tests prove the diamond is the on
ly kind that makes colors which
soap will not wash out or sunlight
fade.

The diamond dyes

The number of the dead near
Bassano was considerable. Curl
ous to ascertain the loss of the
enemy, Bonaparte in the evening
rode over the field with his staff,
when their notice was attracted by
the howlings of a dog, that seem-
ed to increase in proportion as
they approached the spot whence
they proceeded. 'sIn the deep
silence of a beautiful moonlight
night" said the Emperor, "a dog
leaped suddenly from beneath the
clothes of his dead master, rushed
upon US, and then Immediately re
turned to his hidingplace, bowling
most piteously. He alternately
licked his masters hand, and ran
towards US, as if at once soliciting
aid and seeking revenge. Whether,
owing to my own particular turn of
mind at that moment, the time, the
place, or the action itself I knew
not, but certainly no incident on
any field of battle ever produced
so deep an impression on me. I
involuntarily stopped to contem-
plate the scene. This man, thought
I, has friends in the camp, or in
his company, and here he lies for
saken by all except his dog. What
q lesson nature presents here,
through the medium of an animal!
What strange being is man! and
how mysterious are his impress
sions! I had without emotion or
dered battles which were to decide
the fate of the arm: I had beheld
with fearless eyes the execution of
hose operations by which num-
oers of my countrymen were sac
'ifced; and here my feelings were
'oused by the mournful bowling of

should have been easily moved

CLEVELAND Is DISTURBED
Over the Election, His Hopes Di-
verting the Public Mind from
the Recent Disaster.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The class
who imagine the President is not
sore over the recent elections have
fa.se bearings. He is more than
mortified. The deep gulf into
which a 30 recent victorious party
has beer hurled affects him, true
not visibly, but deep-seated all the
same.
The President now hopes by
some change of base, which is to
be as original as sensational, to
divert the pablo mind from the
recent disaster. He is satisfied
that his radical free trade attitude
lie a mistake, and that it was re-
pudiated at the polls. His game
is now for something new to absorb
public attention, and which will
for the nonce silence the clamor
for free silver and dim to the men,
ory his own crusade for free coal
and iron.
Something it is known is going
to drop. The President admits
this much in the machine inter-
view he caused to be promulgated
to excuse the indignity be heaped
upon Secretary Carliele. He is
going to reform the currency, and
on this feature his message to
Congress will be conspicuous.
Just what he intends to do is as
yet vague. The general principle,
however, of his new effort to reform
is to have the government 60 out
of the banking business, and to
have all the paper money issued
by the national banks. This would
be, of course, State banking done
in the States, but by corporations
chartered by Congress. The de-
tails of such q plan are too multi
farious to anticipate, but the work
is going on and the more conspicu-
Gus bankers of New York city are
furnishing the suggestions which
the President, it seems, is too eager
to adopt.
1t is becoming almost a byword
in Washington that the seat OF
power over the finances lis not III

treasury building, but near Wal,
street in New York city, and that
Sub-treasurer Jordon is the heralc
Mecury who bears direct to th'
President the desires of the bank
ing class and studiously avoids

IRON JOHN.
ELIZABETH CHERRY HARE.

Iron John, or Ferjeau, was a
character of Macinac Island, so
called from his powers az a "run-
ner" upon ice, which covers the
straits from November uptil April
OF sturdy race,
With dark and tranquil face
Thou dreamest on,
Iron John!
No need hast thou to show
Powers, while skies do glow
With summer hues.
Useless they lie,
Thy skates, thy wide snow shoes.
Calmly, thou sittest still
In silent wait.
Thy time, thy day will come
When skies grow cold and wan,
Iron John!
The Island children play
After the August butterflies
That have SO brief day.
Thou watchest them
With eyes serene;
Summer must come between
The battles fierce, with snow
Colder than death
In icy ways.
Dost dream of moaning winds and
storms at dawn
Iron John!
What secrets hast thou learned
Of thy strange guests?
What thoughts thy guests,
What truths in thy soul burned?
Methinks 1 see the pallid sky,
Hear bitter blasts arise and die,
Wailing against thy strength
In ghostly cry!
Methinks 1 hear the pines
Thrumming a solemn note,
AS if vast harps
Were touched by spirit hands,
Urging thee on to the chase
Betwixt the lakes and lands.
Again and again the clang
Of thy steel comes, cutting and
keen;
The sweep and rush of thy strength.
AS thou fleest until unseen,
Fleeing ever and on,
Iron John!
All, there will be a chase
'TwIXt the dark and the dawn,
Iron John!
A wind more shrill and more keen
Than ever thou dreamed upon,
Iron John!
Do not thine eyes serene
Whose gaze is ever away,
Know of an island beyond
Where summer ever holds sway;
Dost dream of blOssoming shores
Where winds are tender and fond,
Beyond skies pallid and wanp
Iron John!

Grafton in our opinion would use up
the soil moisture much faster and
more completely than the pea vines
would.
They net only retain the mois-
ture in the ground for their own
use, but for that of the corn also.
We would rather have peas plant
ed between the rows of all our
corn than to let the middles lie
naked, even if we never gathered a
single pea. Our usual yield, plant
ed in this way, is forty bushels of
corn and ten bushels of peas per
acre. Planted in this manner, we
have never seen the yield of corn
decreased by, or on account of the
peas being planted among it; OIL
the contrary, we believe them to
be actually beneficial to the corn,
and that, let it be ever SO droughty,
the yield will be larger with them
than without.

CONFERENCE.
THEY MEET IN ATLANTA AT
BRoKERRODDEY's CALL.
Dir. Roddey's Plan Adopted
Committee on Convention APP
pointed-The Scheme
as Proposed.


ATLANTA, GA., Nov. 21.-An i'm
portant meeting of cotton growers
representing several States occur
red in Atlanta to-day.
They were called here to con-
slider plan recently suggested by
J. T. Roddey, a cotton broker of
New York, for controlling the price
Of cotton.
The meeting was presided over
by Hector D. Lane, commissioner
of agriculture of Alabama.
After some discussion, the plan
as announced by Mr.. Roddey was,
OH motion, recommended. Chair
man Lane and one or two others
dissenting. A committee was ap-
pointed consisting of J. T. Roddey,
III. S. Lipscomb, of South Carolina,
and J. E. Nunnally, of Georgia, to
call county and State conventions
for the election of delegates to an
interstate convention to be held at
a time and place to be agreed upon
by the committee.
Mr.. Roddey's plan as explained
by him, is to form a combination
of the cotton growers with capi.
tai of $50,ooo,0OO or $1OO,ooo,00o.
Each cotton producer is to contrib
ute one bale out of every five made
to the trust. Estimating the crop
at 100000 bales, this plan would
stock the trusss with 1 100000 bales,
the withdrawal of which form the
market, it is urged will appreciate
the price 25 per cent. One general
Office is proposed with branch
offices and warehouses at all cotton
receiving points. The gins in
every county are to be listed and if
possible, controlled SO as to know
the exact production and to regu-
In regard to the management Of
the company, it is to have one gen.
eral or head Office, say in New York
or New Orleans, with two general
directors from each cotton grow
ing State; have one office in each
State with one director from each
county in that State and have sub
offices in all the principal cities
and towns in the different States
to control the local cotton, all to be
controlled by the general or head
office; have either a special in
surance company organized, or the
companies brought to
ow rate; let company warehouse
receipts be issued with insurance
policies and if the farmer needs
money, let the company advance
lin five-eighths or two-thirds of
be value of his warehouse re- 6
eipts. {

We, !the special committee ap'
pointed by the Grand jury as in
structed by your Honor to furthe,

the jail, and diet of the prisoners
Respectfully report:
On yesterday, Friday the 18th.
and also this morning, Saturday,
the 18th, we visited the jails|and
premises, and on each occasion
found the entire premises in5a;sat-
lsfactory condition. The rooms:
cells and hall ways are all clean
and entirely free from stencil or
offensive odor. Lime being used
freely throughout.
On the End floor where there is
a stove, there seems to be no DOM
plant from cold or insufficieney of
wood when necessary for comfort.
On the 3rd food in the absence
of any heating apparatus whatever
there must of necessity be suf-
fering in severe weather-and this
floor, should at once, be provided
with means for fire before cold
weather.
We examined carefully the food,
which we found cooked and ready
to serve, and are satisfied, from
what we witnessed, that it is ample
in quantity, wholesome, well cook
ed and cleanly served.
The blankets which constitute
the bedding are of necessity, in the
absence of cots piled on the floor.
The iron cote recommended by the
Grand Jury, if furnished, will add
greatly to comfort and cleanlipeas.
The supply of water is mucga a,ses as
system i is furnished BY the county.
Mr.. Yancey QUITS, the jailer, ad-
mits that the slop room was in a
bad condition on the morning of
the first inspection by the Grand
Jury, but that he was engaged in
business connected with the court
and was thereby detained from
giving this matter attention as
early as is his custom or desireand
that such neglect had not occnred
before nor should it occur again.
The prisoners say they are kind
~ treated and their looks show hat
they are we'll fed. We are gratiied
to report the absence of any apa-
rent neglect, or lack of any End
treatment whatever to the prion-
ers, on the part of the sheriff, "ho
assures your committee that he
will give all due diligence to on
tinue the proper maintenance OF
such management as will admits
