COTTON FACTORIES In THE SOUTH.

At the north the fact that the
number Of cotton factories in the
south is steadily and quite rapidly
increasing is very we'll understood.
The idea that only the coarser
grades of goods can be manufactured
in the south is not row advanced as
frequently as it was year or two
ago. All grades Of cotton goods
can De manufactured in the south to
better advantage than in the north.
The lack of capitol and skilled labor
IS the only thing that has kept the
higher grades of goods from being
manufactured in the south, and it is
being supplied much faster than
those who have not given the mat
ter thoughtful attention are aware
of. 1t would not be surprising if
within the next ten years the greats
er part OF the south's cotton crop
should be used by mills in the south
ern states.
Speaking OF the increase of the
number of cotton facturies in the
south the New York Sun says
"There can be no doubt that North
Carolina is rapidly becoming one of
the great cotton>tactory states OF
the union. We have before US a
list of the new factories that have
been established, and the old ones
that have been enlarged in that
state, within a few years, and very
pleasing it is to those who desire the
extension of manufacturing in the
south. In a single county Gala
mance) there are twenty-one Of
them, all running on full time with
a full force of operatives, and en-
ploying both white and colored peo-
pie. Wages are pretty good, and
strikes are rarely ever heard of. In
that county alone there are nearly
as many cotton factories as there
were in the whole of North Carolina
twenty years ago, and most of them
have been established within a few
years.
''In South Carolina also, and in
Georgia, too, there has recently
been an extension of the business
of cotton manufacturing. A very
large amount of northern capital is
invested in the business in the states
spoken of, as also in Alabama and
Tennessee"
Very lew Of the cotton mills Of
the south have had to shut down on
account of the hard times. Most of
them have made money while those
at the north have lost money. Nc
better evidence is needed that the
advantages of the south for cotton
manufacturing are much superior to
those of the north.

One Of the most remarkable facts
in the history or the gall fly Is, that
different species acting on the same
tree produce totally different results.
Thus, one Of them puncturinR tho
wild rose gives rise to one of those
moss pretty moss.like tufts which SC
frequently adorn It, Another on the
same plant produces round growths
resembling currants in size and form.
A much greater variety Of form Is
produced on the oak tree.
No fewer than fifty species OF gall
fly indeed, are said to produce their
peculiar forms of growth upon 1t.
One Of the mosJ common is that
which produces the marble gall. This
gall IS produced on the twigs In the
form OF round bodies, soft and green
at first, afterward brown and woody.

regular shape, and pretty colored red
and yellow like a fruit or similar
shape to the marble gall, but softer,
and of a pretty red color where ex'
posed to the sun, Is the cherry gall.
Another fruit.like gall, small,
round, and often appearing In clus
tiers on the male catkins of the oak,
is known as the currant gall Still
more remarkable, perhaps, is the ar
t'choke gall, In this case the gal
fly has laid its egg in the center Of q

Paul Morphy's Famous Prize Set which
Cost $4,000.

A set Of chessmen is usually an In
expensive thing but it may cost rs
much as a grand piano. OF course,
YOU can get small set of ordinary
lockwood chessmen for a few dollars,
finer set Of lockwood and ebony for
Sl2 or $40, aud a set OF "Staunton"
chessmen, Of tho best African ivory,
large size, for $3.50, And these are all
plain SETS If you Indulge in fancy
carving, and have your set made to
order from special design and finely
mounted, ii may cost anywhere from
500 to 5000. For a really expensive
set, however you will probably
choose the precious metals, and there
is absolutely no limit to the cost,
says the New York Mail and Express.
Probably one of the finest sets ever
made was the set presented to Paul

laugh.

contended Caotain Flemyng; lat least,

before everything, Leonie."
In the drawing-rOom of Lady Charm
leigh's magnificent town mansion there
was being discussed celebrated law
suit that was attracting the attention
of all England. 1t was a bright sunny
afternoon, and Leonie, whose perfect
artistic taste reigned paramount had
half drawn the rose-colored blind,
so that the room was full of mellow,
half-roseate, half-golden light; the
fragrance of costly flowers tloated on
the soft breeze that blew in softly from
the open windows. Several visitors
were there-Captain Flemyng, Lord
Seaton, Lady Westgrave, and Miss
Dacre, who was still remaining with
Lady Charnleigh; Lady Fanshawe was
also present. Some desultory cOnversa-
ticn had taken place, when Lord Sea-

They told her that it was the appeal
of the elder brother for the recovery
of title and estate from younger one,
who was in full enjoyment of them.

said Lord Seaton. The elder was sup
posed to have died fourteen years ago,
and now he Ieturns to claim his pos
sessions. The younger one, believing
himself to be the true heir, married,
and has lived as the master of the
estate. He has children growing
around him, and it seems to me hard
that he should be suddenly deprived of
all he has, and turned adrift in the
world"

dictum. 81 think the young brother
did wrong to allow the matter to come
to trial at all. He must have felt sure
of the elder ones identity.
Still, it could not be easy to give up

Leonie.

you are right, Ethel, corroborated
Paul Flemyng. "There are different
kinds of dishonesty; sometimes it
passes under grand names, but, rely
upon it, the man who keeps an estate
from another to whom it Justly belongs
is quite as much thief as the man who
slips his hand into your pocket and
steals your purse"
"a theft cried Lady Charnleigh,
her beautiful face growing ghastly in
its pallor-"a thief, Paul"
"Yes," he replied, looking at her in
establishment; most certainly-a thief,
neither more nor less"
at Is very ugly word, she said,
the pallor giving way to deep flush.
"The deed is still more ugly, he re-

dreds of their fellow creatures, were
also called thieves. There is nothing

find a very small passenger list and
possibly experience some difficulty In

There are not few people the

correspond with the distance at which
it is exercised. Their imagination,
scorning what is close to them, leaps
over sea and land with the utmost

with the sufferings and ignorance of
far-distant natives and savage tribes,
They willingly give their money or
their time or their interest 10 re-

it. But when they are cold and

Relics of Past Ages.

Everywhere about the valleys OF
New Mexico, invariably upon eminen-
ces, and usually upon high flat-topped
mesas on table hills, are the ruins of
houses of the ancient semi-civilized
Indian population that lived here and
titled the soil before the coming of the
Spaniards, four centuries ago. The
numbers Of this old population can be
only vaguely inferred by the numer-
Gus cobblestone foundations of their
houses, still well defined above the sur
face Of the ground, and by the debris
Of the fallen walls which constitute
hlllocks, grass-grown and intermixed
with occasional old stone utensils and
countless fragments Of pottery. This
pottery when turned up by the spade
is found to be handsome and varied in
color, and as fresh Of tint as it could
have been when the village was de-
stroyed or abandoned and every tradi-
ton of its existence lost in the prehis-
toric past.

The Rule of the Road.

In England it is the rule for vehl-
cles to keep to the left on the road in
stead Of to the right, as with US. A
recent explanation OF the custom is
that sin the good old times In Eng
land when stranger aud enemy
were synonymous terms, the foot
traveller passed to the right that the
shield on the left arm might be in
terposed to ward of a treacherous
blow, and the right, or sword arm,
free to strike. Horsemen, however,
usually had mail to protect them, and
there was moro safety in being near
the antagonist than in having to
strike across the horse, as would have
been necessary had they turned to
the right. When vehicles came into

ly one day when he was talking TO her.
Once upon time she had been full OF
sweet fancies, Of bright, tender, beauti-
full thoughts. She never expressed
such now, but in their place came a
cold cynical sarcasm, al unsuited to
those fresh young lips,
She had Just given utterance to one
of her bitter reflections when Captain
Fleming looked up at her suddenly.
"Leonie, he said, show changed you
are!"
She had heard the same thing so
often that it struck her she would ask
in what the change consisted.
"Tell me-" she said, how | am
changed, Paul. Am | older-grown, or
what? Every one tells me the same
thing, and / want to understand it,"
Your face is changed, to begin with.
Nay, do not misunderstood me; it is as
beautiful as ever, perhaps more beau
tiful, but now one never see it in re-
pose. You used to be very earnest but
more gentle more given to tender and
graceful, womanly ways; you have
grown colder, harder, more cynical"
rs that ALP" she asked.
"No, not quite, You give every one
the idea that some secret trouble, some
hidden sorrow, is eating your life
away"
She looked at the noble, handsome
man whom she had so cruelty de-
frauded.
Surely you do not believe in such
nonsen. o." she said. What secret,
what sorrow should | have? What
sentimental nonsense for you to talk,
Paul"
rs it NONSENSE" he asked, sadly.
There are times when feel very UNI
happy about you, Leonie."
"Then you are not so sensible as l
imagined you to be-" she laughed.
what droll idea, to be unhappy over
one so young and so free from care as |
am! Do not waste any more sympathy
on me, Paul; you will find ample oppor-
tunities as you pass through life for
sympathizing with others far more de-
serving"
You have grown cynical and sarcas-
tic, -" he continued; you have lost what,
after all, is the greatest charm woman
can have trust and faith.
81 believe in you," she opposed;
surely that should content you, Paul."
ut does not" he said, gently. Il
would fain see your old, bright, sunny,
trusting nature back again; you are
brilliant and polished like diamond,
but you are also just as cold and hard.
Do you not know, Leonie, that it is
better to believe too much than not
enough?"
who says I do not believe enough?"
she asked, impatiently, What nom
sense you are talking to me, Paul!
What makes you say such things?"
"My darling Leonie, while you were
talking to Lord Falcon last evening, I
analysed what you said, and was
startled. Do you know what cynical,
worldly maxims those beautiful lips of
yours put forth, what cold, heartless
sentiments you uttered, what worldly
ideas came in place Of the bright,
sweet fancies that used to distinguish
you?"
81 am worldly" she confessed, with
careless smile; you know l am
worldly, Paul-you knew it when you
began to like me"
81 am loath to believe it; my idea of
woman is so grand, Leonie-so pure, so
unworldly."
She turned away, saying to herself,
with bitter sigh:
Il am at war with myself"
