salaries of laborers had been reduced
from twenty-five to forty-five Fer cent.
But when asked the price of the ar
ticles they proposed to sell, these
same drumme said they were still
selling by the old price lists, which
shows they are practicing fraud up
on the public, reducing the wages of

Wilson bill has caused it, and still
selling their goods at former prices.
Such frauds ought to be exposed.

WHAT A HoMANcE.



Alabama's old capital. the oitv o3
Cahaba, was sold the other day "a
auction for 1850. In old DAYS CAhaba
held its mead high. It had grand in.
augural fetes. Great streets were laid
out in the pine groves and large docks
were erected. A Governors mansion
was built and daily papeY started.
Fine dwellings, shot up as in night,
Brick stores arose as If by magic. A
metropolitan air sat upon the woodland
capital. 1t vaunted itself proudly, and
spoke in friendly and condescendina
interest Of the decay Of neighborina
towns and villages.
.Ihe town-lot speculator fastened
himself upon the community. He laid
out the pine groves into lots and sold
theml at fancy prices. Eligible sites
ior building purposes were sUld al
thousands OF dollars an acre. Callaba
began to look even upon Mobile as O
suburb, and saw the day when it would
De as large as New Orleans
Cahaba's glory lasted about ten
years. In 1850 the capital was taken
from the town and removed to Tusca-
loosa and thence to Montg omery. The
reason for this was the impure air
ABOUT Cahaba. The capital was all Ca.
haba had to call it into prominence. II
gone. the town went back gradually
into the insignifcance from which it 50
suddenly had been called. The brick
stores became empty, the streets grew
up IN grass AMI forests, and the proud
families moved away.
The death-knell was sounded last
week. At the stroke of the Sheriff's
hammer the town was knocked down
to Henry Freeman, colored, an ex.
Slave, for $3.50 cash, in default of the
payment of taxes. Henry got in his
purchase seventy-two town lots, three
brick stores, several cottages, and other
property--tifty acres in all What will
he do with his purchase? He will plant
cotton, corn, and rutabagas. He will
train bean vines over the brick stores,
or tear them down and use the brick
to make barns and outhouses.

TRADE TOPICS.
Oun's & Co.'s Report of Business for
the Past Week.

Oun's & Co.'s Report of Business for
the Past Week.
X. G. Dun g. Co.. s weekly review of
trade, among other things, says: "The
strikes begin to have serious, though,
it is assumed, only temporary effect.
The number of works depending upon
supplies of bituminous coal or coke
Tor fuel is large, and quite consider
able portion of them has already been
compelled to stop operations. No
doubt the proportion is larger in the
iron and steel manufactures than any
other business, but nearly third in
capacity of the iron furnaces at work
. month ago appear to have closed.
Some railroads at the west are embar-
assed, and textile works of some i'm
portance must soon close unless the
strike ceases.
"Ihe movement of so-oalled armies
Of unemployed on Washington has
caused little excitement, and is less i'm
portant or significant than the outward
movement of specie, which shows a
shrinking of foreign demand for pro-
lucts and the further withdrawal of
foreign capital.
fBut neither strikes nor foreign dis
trust can long retard the progress of
this country. The capacity of iron
furnaces in blast May LIST was ITO, ,21O
tons, a decrease of 16, 512 tons during
April, but The Iron Age has telegraph
ic reports of stoppages by other fur
naces having capacity of 25, 092 tons,
including some expected to stop this
week, which would mean decrease of
about third of production since April
lst
The textile manufacturers are not
keeping up in prospect, for while or
ders do not increase, uncertainties in
regard to the labor grow more serious.
The working force shows much unwil-
lingness to accept for another season
the wages which were temporarily
adopted in order to have the works re-
opened after last summers suspension.
The apathy of buyers in cottons is re-
hected in the further declines of print
cloths, although some qualities OF
goods have advanced slightly.
The decline of the treasury gold re,
serve below $94, 100000 suggests the
possibility that continued exports O.

preserving Timber from Insects.
Experiments made in France have
shown that the reason the sap wood
In timber is m-eaten is because OF
the existence Of starch in it. It Is
the starch that the Insects are after,
and they do not attack the hard
wood because it contains no starch.
The experimenters have devised q
method of preserving timber from
such attacks. In the s9ring they cut
a ring through the bark around the
upper end of the trunk, and suppress
all buds that are developed there. BY
autumn the starch has disappeared
from the sap-wood and the tree is
ready to be felled. Timber thus pre-
pared, it is said, does not become
worm eaten.
