NAPoLEoNIANA.
Bed on Which Napoleon Died--Ex-

Bed or Which Napoleon Died--Ex-
travagant Prices Paid for Relics.
A Frenchman has been hunting
for the bed on which Napoleon died;
he has found one at the Hotel des In
valides; one at the Tussaul; one at
Grevie museum; one belonging to
Marquis de Biron; one which be-
longed to Marshal Bertrand. now in
the possession Of member of the
Napoleon family; and one which be-
lonyod to Prince Murat, which was
bequeathed to him by Queen Caro-
line. If the gentleman extended his
inquiries to America, he might
double the number.
There are at least so cooked hats,
alleged to have belonged to Ma
poleon, in the hands of American
collectors alone; these enterprising
individuals may not be very glad to
know that only nine genuine ones
exist, and that they are all in
France! At the disposal of William
Bullock's museum, which about three
quarters of century ago was one OF
the sights of London, q number of
articles which belonged to Napoleon
came under the hammer, and moth
ing could exceed the eagerness with

contemporary chronicler. The most
remarkable and important item Of
the lot was Napoleon's carriage,
with it's fitting and conveniences,
exactly as he abandoned it on his
flight from, Waterloo For this the
sum Of Gigs was paid 1t had been
obtained by Bullock ut Il great cost,
but it turned out to be the most
lucrative concern in which the spec
ulator ever embarked; he secured
even the coachman who drove it, but
probably this item was not in
cluded in the above amount.
The other Napoleon relics sold at
the same time included small opera
glass, which fetched 5 guineas; a
toothbrush, which realized 81
guineas; snuffbox, f166 l9s. 3D.;
military stock or collar, Ell lis; a
pair of old slippers, FL; common
razor, 4 guineas; piece of sponge,

shirt, e2 IS. a comb, FL; a shaving
box, Z guineas; pair of old gloves,
Ell; an old pocket handkerchief, u
guineas; while many other items
realized equally extravaganza
amounts. We are not, after all,
very much wiser than our fore
fathers in the matter of what we
collect for it may be safely said
that if these relics again came into
the market they would realize at
least two or three times the above
figures. Temple Bar.

FOR COTTON BALES.
Wire Has BEN Used for the Broad
Iron Ties.

Wire Has BEN Used for the Broad
Iron Ties.
A bale of cotton shipped from
Columbia reached Charleston re-
Gently Tho only thing peculiar
about this bale of cotton was the
tying. Instead of the black iron
straps that usually encircle the
tightly pressed and half-clothed
cotton, six small galvanized wires
were seen, and the staple had
strained and pressed at these bands
and swelled out considerably be-
tween them. The bagging had not
been cut, however, and the wires
seemed to be a very fair substitute.
The wires were tied with q twist
similar TO that used on telegraph
lines. The crucial test will not be
had until the bale has been COM
pressed, and it is the opinion of
some that the wires will then cut
Through or break with the strain.
Thesbalc of wired cotton has been

Patriotism and gold against anarchy
and silver" is the title of a goldite PAM
phlet received at this Office. Its
title indicates the character of its argu-

this controversy it is those who would
continue the prevailing condition of
misery, poverty and crime which ac-
company the gold standard in order
that the rich may grow richer while the
poor grow poorer. = Farm. Field and

While no sensible silver man cab
deny that there is more money now than
ever. we do strenuously allege that the
increase in the volume of rooney has not
been proportionate to the increase in
population and the increased value of
all kinds of property and real estate.
Ii certain piece of property in Chicago
or anywhere else was worth 23 years
ago So 900 and is now worth $4,000. it
is obvious that if any sale is negotiated,
it takes 20 times as much money to per-
form it as it did quarter of century
ago; and If the volume of money does
not keep pace with such increased valu-
atiuns, the result is that money becomes
dearer, and things which are converted
into money become cheap. The law of
supply and demand, of course, is al
ways factor in prices; and while the
same law of supply and demand regu-
Iates the value of money as well as com
modify. it would be natural for some
kinds of commodity TO show the effect
more than others. Because of the fact
that variety of causes are at work in
the cheapening process, it becomes an
easy matter for gold man to deceive
an undecided brother as to the real
cause OF failing prices, and it Is sig
nificant fact that all gold advocates can
apply the law of supply and demand to
everything else except money.
Toestablish my argumentsupposet that
since 1878 no money at all had been
coined, and we were doing business
now with the same money we had then.
does any sensible farmer think that a
dollar would not buy ten times as much
of anything he could produce as it did
then? Now in proportion as the vol
ume of money fails TO keep pace with
the increased business and production,
this condition would characterize BUSH
ness only in smaller degree.-D. M.
Todd, in Farm News.

YUMA COUNTY.

A white man irst set foot on. what is aow Yuma County in l57i. It IS tae southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritery. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in a few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali
 ornia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town of Yuma, which Is snuSy situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides inc modern. homes of our superior civilization ,re crowdins the adobs dwellings lntc eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose ande.eloped riches tAe eyes ot the country arc at present turned, and as such' she is bound to grow and prosper with g rapiditv that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi- gal position we find that she IS the center of country whose agricultural possib'ii- ties are, practically unlimited, being snr- rounded by a soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting only water to become paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious auid have annually gone to waste at Yuna's very doors, hut already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands ab the threshold of sn era of wonderful social and industrial de- velopment. There can't be doubt about the fact The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of a day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of a new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulativc effect of many things, which made but small i'm pressi0n as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her 8 full share of atten- ton and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 i lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is a scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates a great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates Of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this
 Arizona has reached that cimacticel period which every western state has ex- perienced sometime in its history when. after long and weary struggle and doubt. with each side of the balance first up and then down. the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and d sunhurst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com plction of two transcontinental lines oi railroad across her territorY has rather dropped out of public attention. but i'll that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating a fund of substantial wealth and a force of moral character which qualify her ROW to rise up and take her destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican. This is a mistake of great importance from the moral point of view There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pre- ent the rrsdominating element. It thu 1t IS cei tain that aTIzCma has not to-day nearly so large a Mexican population as Colorado and not above one-tcnth o5 much as New Mexico ,"Fitz- Mae" in Denver News.

Senator Lodge had conference with
South Carolina, Florida, West Virginia
and New York colored men, and an
nounced that he had received assurances
from them of active support for Reed
and q. pledge for missionary work. he
said:
"The colored Southern delegates have
been badly treated by the Mckinley
managers. They were promised great
consideration and received none. A ma
jority of them have declared for Reed.''
A significant fact in this connection is
that Caleb Simms, of New York, prom
inent Platt colored man and instructed
alternate for Morton, was one of the
leaders in the movement of colored men
toward Reed. The Kerens faction, of
the Missouri delegation, owing to the
fact that Hanna is supposed to be treat

nounced that they were through with
Mckinley, took down his pictures and
decorated for Reed. Naturally there
was rejoicing in the Reed camp.
