"With PerguiSites."

Senator Pomeroy used to tell of local
preacher in Kansas who had forced him
self upon the stump after Iincoln's nomi-
nation, and who demanded recognition of
the party for his services during the cam
paign says the Utica Observer. He said
ne would like to be sent as minister pleu-
ipotentary to England or France, ard
when tod it was impossible insisted on be
ing appointed consul 10 Liverpool. Find
ing that the powers that be" considered
that equally preposterous, he was quite
offended at what he considered lack of
appreciation of his services in a state
that nothing could have turned against
the Republicans. Finally. Senator Pome-
roy SAID TO him: I'm going to Washing
ton il about two weeks time. Think the
matter over, and if you should light on
something in reason, I'll aid you in getting
it." In ten days nc called on the Senator
again, his head still away up in The
clouds, aud being assured of the impossi-
Billy of getting what he thought was
about his due, said:
Senator, can't you think of some place
thai would suit me?"
Yes" said Pomeroy, I've thought Of
a place thai would suit you and that you
would suit. and that there is a possibility
of getting for you. It's an Indian agency"
AN Indian agency? What's that?'
queried the preacher.
well, you are to look after the welfare
OF our red brothers, and see that their
supplies are properly and honestly deliv-
cred to them"
What IS it worth?"
cone thousand five hundred dollars and
perquisites." returned the Senator.
"Perquisites-what perquisites?"
"Well, you see, my friend, the govern
meut contracts for so many head of beef
cattle averaging about so many hundred
pounds. Now, in delivering these cattle,
they are counted while being driven into
the inclosure and if a yearling should
happen to slip in now and then, you are
rot to make too much fuss about it, and
there you will find your perquisite. Think
it over"
I'm take it," said the reverend gentle
man; i've already thought it over, and
do you know Senator, l think veal is a
blamed sight better than beef for indians,
ANYWAY"

THE BoER ULTTMATUM.

II is inconceivable that Great Britain
will comply with the terms Of the ulu-
matum Of the Trausyaal government
Those terms as given in the dis
patches. are, arbitration on ali points
of difference. the withdrawal of all troops
on or near the Transvaal frontier, the
removal Of all troops that have arrived
since June ], and that the troops now on
the high seas be not landed. An answer
is demanded by not later than 5 O'Clock
th.s afternoon
The terms Of the note, as well as its de
fiant tone make il unlikely that Great
Britain will so much as consider the pos
sibnhy of complying. 1t may be doubted
that she will send any diplomatic reply
TO Il at all, and in all probability the next
exchange between the two governments
will be one of fire and blood.

lures of the regrettable affair L is pitt

BUILD MILLS.

The key note of the Industrial Conven-
ton, which assembled at Huntsville, Ala.
yesterday, is, very clearly, Build mflls!'
The South has long enough been contrib
uting raw materials for the enrichment
of other sections, at her own cost. She
has learned by experience that while ag-
riculture is the basis of wealth. it is not
a source of a great deal of profit to the
community or section which depends upon
it entirely. While she, with rich soil and
favorable climate has remained poor, the
South has seen sterile New England, which
can hardly produce the necessaries of life,
wax opulent from the manufacture of raw
materials drawn largely from the fields
and forests of the South,
Is there any good reason why the South
should not manufacture her own products
of field, forest and mine? None There
was time when people really believed
that the South could never be manufac-
turing section; that she was inevitably
destined to be merely a producer of raw
materials and consumer of finished
goods giving profits going and coming"
to those more favored sections to the
Northward. But that old theory has been
exploded, and it has been demonstra ted
conclusively that not only can the South
manufacture, but that she can do it in
competition with the rest of the world
Our textile mills are among the busiest
and most prosperous on the face of the
globe; the number of them is constantly
increasing; they are making fine as wen
as coarse goods, and are spinning and
weaving woolens and carpets as well as
cottons Our iron and steel works, from
an Insignificant beginning only a few years
ago, have now assumed commanding po-
stion, and it is the South that dictates
the price of pig iron and pig steel.
Rapid strides have been made all along
the line of material development during
the past few years; but the latent wealth
of the section has hardly been touched yet
How great the growth has been, and how
marvellous the possibilities are, will be
told in the speeches and papers of the
Huntsville convention. The literature Of
that convention should. and doubtless will
have potent influence in Fastening the
day when the South, by reason of her nat
ural advantages, viii assume her proper
place in the world of commerce and man
ufactures
