Industry in the South.

The social lines that were once sharply
drawn between those who labcred with
the hand and those who did not are dis
appearing. Those who formerly sought
to escape labor, now when they see that
brains and skill rob labor Of the toll and
drudgery once associated whit, instead
OF trying to avoid it are willing to pay
to be taught how to engage in it. The
Southis beginning to see labor raised up
dignifed and beauti6ed, and in this sees
its salvation. In proportion as the love
forlabor grows, the large idle class which
has long been one of the curses Of the
South disappears. AS its members be-
come absorbed in occupation they have
less time to attend to every body ese's
business, and more time for their own.
The South is still an undeveloped and
unsettled country, and Tor the next hall
century and more the greater part OF the
energy of the masses will be needed tc
develop its material opportunities. Any
force that brings the rank and tilt
of the people to a greaterlove of industry
is therefore especially valuable. This re
suit industrial education is surely bring
ing about. 1t neutrality-suspicious. ant

races,-and in this new aud engrossinl
relation both forget the past. The whit

A Rush to Guiana.

Owing to the unsettled state OF affairs
in Venezuela, departed for British
Guiana, where life and property were
secure. On arriving at Georgetown,
the beautiful capital OF the colony,
with about 60 inhabitants, | found
hundred California miners stranded and
full of Indignation, They had been lured
to Guiana bv letter which had found
wide circulation in the newspapers OF
the Pacific coast. Aman who had served
as cook in California mining-camp had
gone to Guiana, and had found good
position as manager of placer-mlne
on the Barima River. Elated by his
good fortune, he wrote a glowing
account of his prospects to his vile In
California. She showed the letter to
the editor of the local paper, who pub
lished it as an item OF important mining
news.
This letter within a short time had the
effect OF starting groups OF men from the
coast mining-6elds, some OF them even
from British Columbia. 1t was time OF
depression in the mining industries OF
the Pacific coast, and a great many
miners were out of employment. Though
the writer of the letter had no intention
of attracting others to his 81 Dorado,
the Californians, who had assumed that
it would be as easy to prospect tor gold
in Guiana as in California, regarded him
as the author of their misadventure, and
INDUCED freely in threats OF vengeance
No harm came to him, however, because
it is not a light matter to violate the
laws in British Guiana, AS these stranded
miners had no money, they were unable
to prospect, which requires more or
less expensive outfit; and they could not
find employment in the diggings for the
reason that white men are not employed
on the placers, except as managers; and
in fact nearly all the managers, like the
laborers, are colored men.
The Californians had great difficulty
in getting away; some OF them reached
home as stow-aways; a very Few
obtained situations. One OF them was

The Taxation of Bicycles.

In New York, Philadelphia, Rochester
and Chicago certain city officials have
lately proposed, in apparent good faith,
that bicycles should be made the subject
of special tax. The enormous number
of bicycles in the country, and the mil
lions OF value which they represent,
suggest with some force subject for
taxation which is not likely to be over
looked by the scrupulous assessor. The
sound principle that all property should
contribute to the support of the state
that defends it should, of course, apply
to bicycles, as to other forms of personal
property; and our present tax laws pro-
vide so clearly for such taxation that
the justice of a second levy which this
proposed special tax would entail may
we'll be inquired into. The bicycle is
noiseless, clean and non-consumer. 1t
does not herald it's own approach by
nerve-wearing ding-dong on the hard
stone pavement, nor does it wear out or
soil the streets, or occupy an undue
amount of space in the thoroughfare.
Just why it should be made the subject
of a special tax, from the operation OF
which other forms OF vehicles are exempt,
IS a question which no one has yet
attempted to answer. Such tax would
certainly be unpopular, and would prob
ably be illegal as well. That it would be
unjust goes without saying. The cycling
citizens of the United States are already
heavy taxpayers, and under our general
laws are exempt from no species of tax
to which other citizens are compelled to
respond. 1t would be quite as wise, and
fully as equitable, to declare a specia
assessment on sewing machines and
type writers as upon bicycles, or upor
any other useful thing in which citizen:
generally have acquired an ownership

The Rat Trap Light.

The French Mediterranean squadron
has Just made an interesting experiment
with a queer light, the invention OF
French naval officer. Its technical name
is a secret and the sailors call it 1.-THE
rat-trap light" The squadron left Mar
settles on the Goth Of August at O'Clock
in the evening, leaving behind the tor
pedo destroyer Faucon, which was to
start three hours later and hunt it up.
At 8 O'Clock the Faucon weighed anchor
and steamed out in pursuit with all
lights extinguished except this novel
affair. the ratiere. Nobody on board
knew the direction that the squadron
took, bu, at | O'Clock in the morning the
Faucon joined it.
This "rat-trap" light is a thing OF
small dimensions placed in the stern OF
the vessel above the wheel. No other
light is permitted on board. 1t throws
out an electric light which cannot be seen
on the right or the left OF the ship, and
can only be discovered dead ahead under
certain conditions known to the seeker.
BY means of this invention night signals
can be made when rockets and flash
lights might be useless or liable to betray
the position of the fleet to the enemy. 1t
can also guide squadron in line, with
all other lights out, even in dangerous
ATTITUDES.
The French navy alone possesses this
light, and the Admiralty evidently
attaches great Importance to it, Judging
by the precautions that are taken to
guard it against discovery. The com
mander of ship and one sworn officer
alone handle it, and it is kept on board
in a special apartment, of which the com,
mander holds the key New York Sun
