CONFEDERATE VETERANS.

One of those annual reunions, be.

pathetic anniversary, is being held in
Nashville. The most interesting fea-
ture of the meeting this year has been
the attempted retirement of Gen. John

has yielded to the enthusiastic demand
OF the encampment that no should
continue to hold that honorable posi-.
ton. A number of veterans from
Greenyllle are in attendance upon the
meeting at Nashville, aud the broken
and shattered remnants of the heroes
OF Manassas, Shiloh, the Wilderness,
Charlottesville, Gettysburg, aud
hundred other blood.drenched fields.
are gathered to fight their battles DER
again and keep alive the memories of
time when life was crowded into
the compass of four short years.

EEYLER'S PEAUE.

When the possibility of the aunexa

more sense than sentiment, that the
island would be a very valuable scou,.

laIeu and re-peopled from this coup.
Try Ihat condition seems to be in
process Of attainment. 1t is estimated
that the deaths on the island from
war famine aud disease, average a
thousand q day. Weyler's Idea seems
to be to "mako a solitude and call If
peace" and be is apparently succeed.

former conqueror Christianity has
looked on at the Cuban war and its
attendant horrors so long and so com. |
placently that the blotting out of the
entire population cannot be very
shocking to the contemplation of the

A FEW OF THEM.

The following is taken from an in
terView with prominent cotton
manufacturer of Massachusetts, who
mas recently returned from trip
through the south, and gives a few of
the reasons why this section is rapidly
snpplanting New England as the
home of the cotton mill Industry:
"a modern brick cotton mill in an
average Southern location can be
punt about 70 per cent cheaper than
III the North. There is no lack off
water supply as a rule this is
cheap Ia \ ma coal is obtained
al VI 90 per and rendering the
cost OF steam over about oae.halfI
that OF the average New England
NH, The item of wages shows from
20 to 90 per cent in favor of the South. |
III the matter OF Transporting the
raw cotton from tho fields there is a |
substantial saving, and in many cases
the hauling Is made direct, without |
the necessity aud expense of the COM
press. Taxes are low, aud tempting
premiums are frequently offered,
either by towns or through the medium
OF State law"
The advance in building cotton
mills in the south as much more
noticeable in the states along the east
ern coast line than in the southwest
although the facilities offered by the
latter section are even greater, and 1t
is almost certain that they will, with.
III a short time, be recognized, and
the lower Mississippi Valley become
a centre OF manufactures of this pro.
duct Every advantage set forth in
the above extract, and which now re.
iers particularly to the eastern tier of
states, is applicable with o
more force and truth to Mississippi !

The Mississippi River Commission

senllng the levee districts, among
them Hon. w. G, Yergsr of this dis.
trlcb Governor A. j. MoLaurin, Pres.
ident Stuyvesant Fish, of the Illinois

Mr. Aerger said that had there been

paIllng in loss of life and destruction

given way the water would have risen

Mr. Catchiugs presented the condi-
lions and needs of the districts of this
State in a clear and forceful manner,
representing the efforts made by the
people for self protection, the immense
local expenditure for levee purposes,
and the intolerabe burden of taxation |
imposed
Governor McLaurin stated that 1t
was as much the duty of tho govern.
ment TO protect one side OF the river
as the other. The people of the levee
districts in Mississippi have already
done as much as possible. Two dis.
t'iels alone have spent about $l1 ,O0o.-
oVO up to date, and the property hold.
ers can bear no more taxation.
President Fish said that the rail. t
roads depended upon the security of !
the levees for their business. The '
federal government is to blame for its I
action in denuding the lands in the II
Northern States under railroad grants. f
As the government was responsible Il
tor the increased severity of these Il
10ods,i was only just that it mitigate, Ct
by liberal appropriations, some of the g
lamage done. k

India tigers are hunted on elephants,
the sportsmen shooting from how
dahs. In central and southern India
tiger shooting is chiefly attempted in
the hot season, and the tiger is either
driven by beaters past a tree on
which the sportsman sits, or follow
ed up, either on an elephant or on
foot. Occasionally, especially when
tiger has been wouned, herd of buff
faloes are employed to drive him out
of the cover, which they do very eff
>fectually, charging him in body if
he does not retreat. Tigers captured
young are easily tanned, and many Of
the adult animals in menageries are
perfectly good-tempered, and fond Of
being noticed and caressed by those
whom they know. They have repeat
edly bred in confinement, although
not so freely as lions, and the cubs
more rarely thrive.-Ex.

"POTASH IN AGRICULTURE"

Is the title of pamphlet, publish
ed by the German Kali Works, 90
Nassau street, New York, N. Y. This
book is known to many of our read
ers from it's first edition, published
few years ago. The second edition
contains many valuable improve
ments.
The contents embody a collection
of results obtained with fertilizers at
our experiment stations. It would
appear from these conclusions that
many brands Of fertilizers now on
the market do not contain as much
potash as they should for the pro-
duction of the best results. 1t would
certainly pay every farmer to write
for copy of this book, which we
understand is sent free.
