compact down. IL Is therefore not difli-
cult to arrive Mt the conclusion that the
beaver Is aquatic, and that his princi-
pal occupation Is gnawing. The young
are produced in April or May, and In
four or Ave weeks are able 20 follow
their mother in the water. The aver
age weight OF the adult individual Is
about forty pounds; their winter food
consists Of bark and the roots OF
aquatic plants, especially the yellow
pond-lily. In summer, however, they
go some distance from the water In
search Of berries, leaves, etc. This In
offensive creature has suffered n long
and severe persecution on account of
his very valuable fur and castoreum.
The latter "a substance secrcted in two
sacs near the root OF the tall has been
known since very ancient times for its
medicinal properties; IL is chiefly used
now 60 bait beaver traps.
Two ccnturies ago these animals were
so numerous in what now constitutes
the state Of New York, that from 5000
10 10000 skins were annually taken In
that section alone. The trade in beaver
skins was one OF tho leading induce
ments to the early French and English
colonists to settle in this country. The
home OF the beaver was once In nearly
all the wooded districts of the northern
hemisphere; at the present time It Is
entirely cxterminated In many places,
and Is scarce ia the United States cast
OF the Mississippi river. Much has been
told OF the wonderful building instinct
of the beaver. Working only In the
night. IL Is not easy 10 know tho exact
manner in which this little engineer
proceeds, but In tho morning the
amount OF work accomplished speaks
for the diligence OF this builder Of
dams, canals and houses, or lodges" rs
their habitations are termed. Tho
canals afford an easier mode of trans
portation than dragging tho wood
overland, and are dug through clear
ings back 10 tho timber; they are some.
times many feet IN length. aud may be
made on two or three different levels.

EXPOSITION NOTES.

At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Cotton States and International Exposition last week it was decided that, owing to the very heavy demand for space, an annex be built to the Manufacturers and Liberal Arts building. Although the scope of the Exposition now includes four teen commodious buildings, the demand for space is so great that orders are filled with difficulty.
 The progress of the Cotton States and international Exposi tion during the past month has been so rapid that the lS9 acres of Piedmont Park, with buildings, walks, driveways, terraces and landscape gardening, is beginning to assume the general appearance of the completed work.
 Advices were received during the past week at ths headquarters of the Cotton States and Interna- tional Exposition that the legisla- ture of Illinois had passed the ap- propriation of s15,o00 for build ing and exhibit by that State at the Exposition, This adds anoth- CT to the the long list of leading States which will be handsomely represented at Atlanta in the fall.

Unblusing Corruption.

l.. R. Press.
 The following expose of the ef- forts of the New York Financial Chronicle to corrupt the people of the south in the interest of the gold standard, We clip from the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, We trust it will be repubiished by the independent, unbought dem ocratic papers of Arkansas. IL is as insulting as it is brazon, and dc serves the contemptuous rebuk- ing it will receive:
 And yet, We repeat, the battle is by no means won. There are elections in many states this fall in which free silver coinage will by the prominent issue. If candi. dates or nominations made favor ing that vIew could be defeated 1t would have material and very sal utary effect on public opinion. The seats of several United States senators are being contested in the south that might possibly be gained for advocates of stable currency by little malicious as sis.ance on the part of the north. We cannot vote there, but we can send money, by means of which the work of educating the people can be contihaed-a work that is most effectively done by public speaking at political meetings. The question we want to ask is, why should not the sound money candidate in each state be furnish. ed the means for conducting his eaHvass? This action Is made the more imperative because there is a lack of capital in the south and because the silver mine owners have an abundance of funds. Hence the occasion would seem to demand decided and liberal action of the kind we have suggested. Ii the present highly favorable op- portnnily be permitted to pass without being fully improved, the country may have cause for last ing regret.
 What we advocate is thorough ly organized movemert-not to talk, not to write letters, not to prepare sound money plans, but to induce every man to put his hand in his pocket and give what he is willing to give to defeat once and forever these enemies 10 com mercial prosperity. Perhaps  the plan cah be best executed through the Chamber of Com mcrce committee. All we desire IS that the amount of this fund should bear some relationship to the object to be sought ani the danger to be averted."
 This bold and brazen declara ton speaks for itself. Ii is call for an organized movement to provide funds to be sent south for the purpose of controlling party conventions and elections. Every "sound money" candidate is to be "turnished the means for conduct. ing his canvass" !" And "public speaking at political meetings' money must be raised for that And the contributions must be "liberal"- amount of the fund must be in proportion to the gray ity of the issue. Why should il require such tremendous sum of money to provide public speakers for political meetings? Why should the expenses of ''s, und money" candidates in the south be so vast as to necessitate this passing around of tbe sonnd money bat among the pertnrbed inaneiers oi Wall street?
