The chronicles of current neurology
tell of the deaths, during the week past,
of two noted, and one famous, women;
both over 80 years of age. One was
Lady Scott Spottiswoode, the writer of
the music of the most popular of all
Scottish ballads -Annie Laurie. The
other noted deceased was Lady Louisa
Madeline Tighe, the daughter of the
Duke of Richmond, and the last sur
vivor, it is said, of the dancers of the
famous night before Waterloo ball;
when "all went merry as marriage
bell" A girl of II, she buckled onWel-
lington's sword, as he startled by that
deep sound like rising knell" went
forth to achieve immortality: and save
Europe from one despot, for many.

Memories of Dwight l.. Moody.

1t was the wish of the late Mr..

written by his son.

write especially for the Saturday Ev-

ON his fathers life and work, profusely
illustrated with hitherto unpublished

Gen. Wheeler reported at the War

strong desire to put the names of Gen.
Wheeler and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee on
the retired list of the army with the
rank of Brigadier General. Gen. Lee
is 60 and Gen. Wheeler will be 81 in
September. AS an officer on the re-

a seat in the National Legislature, but
it is understood he would be willing to
forego his rights to seat in Congress,

THE NEW CURRENCY BILL.

The new currency bill passed by con
gress, which places our financial sys-
tenn on a sound, durable and elastic
basis, has also added new confidence to
business interests and improved the
outlook of the future The result will
be that the periodical dearth of money
to move crops will be done away with
and the West and South will have an
abundance of money at lower rates on a
gold basis to meet their business needs,
without having to depend upon the spec
ulations of Wall street.
The passage of this currency bill
comes in good time to save the country
from the evil effect usual in a presiden-
tial election year. There is little ground
to apprehend any disturbance of bust
ness this year like that which existed in
1896. The masses of business people
are too hopefully engaged in business
pursuits to become involved again in
the eXcitements and follies that the
hard times of 1896 tempted them to fall
into. Politicians may work themselves
up on side issues, but working and
business men, with the improved
Surroundings, will be too much engross
ed with the bright prospect of improv-
in Coin Harvey follies and excitements.

MANUFACTURES.

much of gains in manufacturing re-
sources in Mississippi have been over
looked because we have not kept up
with Georgia and the Carolinas in
building cotton factories. Millions of
dollars within the last year have gone
into our lumber and cotton oil mills
and manufactures which are being re-
warded with profitable returns. The
great advance in timber of all kinds,
the hardwoods and cypress of the Del
ia, as well as the pine forests in the
hills, in Mississippi, add new resources
to our wealth.
THE improved state of our politics in
Mississippi, as evidenced by the high
tone of our new governor in his inaug-
ural address in favor of law and order,
and his friendliness to capital, and the
liberal character of the Legislature, as
shown by their acts which have passed
into laws, for building new 81 0OO,OO
capitol, establishing an SOOO-acr peni-
tertiary farm, establishing textile
school and maintaining our magnificent
public school system, adds no little to
the encouragement of the future AL
together we may conclude that we have
struck bottom in Mississippi, and that
a career of prosperity is before US.
Our people are nearer out of debt than
ever before, have more of the necessi-
ties and comforts of life in their homes,
money is more abundant, and at lower
rates than have prevailed since the
war, and all the conditions have arriv-
ed for our suplus money to enter very
largely into the building of cotton fac
tories to spin the cotton that is so
abundantly raised on Mississippi soil, "

Mining and Scientific Press: So far
as known the Belgian Government is
the only one having an official rule
that when men are being hoisted OF
lowered in a mine shaft q capable
assistant is required to stand by the
engineer to replace him in case Of sud-
den indisposition.
California Miner: The lead mines
OF Southeastern Missouri producing
on an average an ore that carries from
three to four per cent mineral is q
bonanza, and two per cent is about
pay. The output is simply crushed
and concentrated, resulting in the
yield OF very clean galena.
The plans Of the Comstock Pump
ing Association are understood to mean
even more than the mere unwatering
OF the flooded levels, which work is
going steadily on. 1t is conceived that
sinking the Osbiston or Combination
shaft to depth of 5000 feet would
demonstrate the existence of large ore
bodies at that depth.
Probably the highest altitude Of any
smelter in the world is the smelling

THE RUrURE OF COPPER.
No Doubt as 60 the Future of ths
Red Metal,

Boston capitalists and brokers are
convinced that copper properties offer
the greatest inducements for invest
ments that can be found at the pres
ent time. The Copper, Zinc and Lead
Review of last week has the following
"The scientists on both sides of the
sea have come TO the conclusion that
copper is to be king; that in future
domains of industry its production can
never exceed the demand; that elec-
tricity is destined to be the motive
power OF the new century, and until
some substitute can be discovered or
invented, copper will be more and
more needed; needed, in fact, faster
than it can be produced.
"For there is really an industrial
revolution impending, and the advance
during the past ten years, when men
were, SO to speak, studying the alpha
bet of electricity, has been great. To
American copper exports the increase
for these ten years has been from
$4,000, 900 to $50, ,OOO, 900 annually. In
ten years more, whenever possible in
running manufactures, steam will be
dispensed with and some river a mile
or twenty-five miles away will have to
be doing the work and sending it in
sublimated form on a wire to turn the
mills.
Goal has already so advanced in
Europe that it is a serious matter for
manufacturers. The natural infer
ence is that II a man in America, or a
company in America, has a real first
class copper mine he or they have
something better than gold, something
better than silver"
