LEIPSIc'S IMPORTANCE.
Principal Fur Trade Center for the En-
tire World.

TIRE WOTlu.
Nearly the whole Of the commence
in furs is concentrated about the
two cities of London and Leipsic, but,
nevertheless, the importance of these
two centers of industry is far from
being equal. Two-thirds of the furs
sold by auction in London 90 to Leip-
sic, and it is the latter city which
Is the principal center Of the fur
trade for the whole world, says the
London Globe. The warehouses Of
Leipsic receive raw and made-up
furs from Siberia, European Russia,
America, Australia and China. The
model factories in which the furs arc
dyed and dressed are situated in the
suburbs Of the town. The system
of selling by auction which prevails
in London permits dealers to de-
termine exactly the quality Of goods
which are requisite for Wholesale
transactions. This is not the case
in Leipsic, where the amount of
business done in this line is yariously
estimated at from 60 to 20 millions
of marks per annum.
The principal article of commerce
in Leipsic is raw astrakhan, which
comes from Bokhara, and is chiefly
bought at the fair Of Nijni-Novgorod;
Of this, close on to 1,000,000 skins,
each worth from four to Gh rubles,
are imported annually. Ifw add to
these figures the price of dressing
and dyeing, and the merchants
profits. We obtain a total of II to 10
million marks After having been
dyed the astrakhan is sold in Ger
many, France, England and partly
in the United States, although the
Americans generally prefer to buy
1t in lis raw state, as they DO in the
case Of all other furs. The second
rank IN trade may be given 10 sables.
Nearly 10000 are imported yearly,
the prices varying from eight rubles
to 100 or 200 rublcs and upward, but
the dearer skins are in the minority.
OF late years the sables are sent chiefly
10 England, France and America
White foxskins take the third
place, numbering $4,000 to 10000
skins annually These are dyed in
1.eipsic, after which they are sold in
France, England and the United
States. Every year about 900, 900
lambskinsfrom kassimof, which are
known in Germany by the name of
treibel, and are worth about 80 ko-
pecks each, enter I,eipsic, where they
are dyed in the factories and chiefly
exported 10 America. At one
time Leipsic received yearly from
100000 to I,00O,0 900 of Russian and
Siberian squirrel skins, which were
dressed as fur, and found their chief
sale in Great Britain. When. how
ever, the fashion of full-length

CURIOUSLY ADDRESSED.
Letter Received in Washington Recently
Which Bore No Name.

The ingenuity Of the post office de-
partment in delivering letters with
addresses that are illegible to the av-
erage person has often attracted at
tention, but a more unique address
has never been placed on an envelope
than one that was received at the pen
sion Office. This letter had its front
face ornamented with pen-and-ink
sketch of a mans face. Below the
picture was the address Washington,
ID. c." There was no delay in deliv-
ering the letter. The features were
those Of Mr.. II. Clay Evans, recently
commissioner of pensions. The in
depreciation of the address was cor
rect, the letter coming from west
ern pension attorney, who prided
himself on his ability as a sketch ar
fist and wished TO test his powers to
make a realistic portrait of the COM
missioner, which he did with the ut
most success, so far as having il recog-
nized at the post Office and promptly
delivered was concerned.-Washing-

OPENING OF COURT.
Impressive Formally Customary in the
District of Columbia.

District of Columbia.
A rather impressive little GER
emory now marks the formal
opening Of the several branches
of the supreme court of the
District Of Columbia. When a
justice enters his court room all
persons who may be present rise, and,
including his honor, remain standing
until the crier has announced in sing
song manner to those persons having
business before the honorable JUS
tice that "the court is now sitting"
OF late, says the Washington Star,
in opening some of the courts, the
criers have been adding to the stereo-
typed announcement the words:
"God save the government of the
United States and this honorable
court
As the criers were unfamiliar with
the extra sentence some ludicrous
mistakes were made at the start.
Only a short time ago one of the at
taches got rather mixed, and instead
OF repeating the foregoing, said:
"God have mercy on this court"
This caused so much merriment
that the crier FASTENED to make cor
rection which helped some, although
it was not the proper one.
The practice of all standing in the
court room as the justice enters has
obtained locally just a few years. 1t
is understood that the movemnt was
inaugurated by Mr.. Tracy l.. Jeffords
when he was assistant United States
attorney for the District Of Column
bia under Mr.. Arthur \. Birney. Mr..
Jeffords made it rule to rise from his
chair in court when the justice APP
peared and soon the other attorneys
began to follow suit. The custom is
now general.
The practice is similar to that pre-
vailing in the supreme court of the
United States, and is considered a
dignifed expression of courtesy and
respect. In the courts throughout
the country for the most part, the
sheriff or other official simply an
nounces that court is open. AT Marls-
boro', it is stated, the judge opens
court by rapping on his desk with a
gavel and calling for order.
The justices of the United State:
supreme court and of some of the
courts of New York wear black gowns
while on the bench. The adoption OF
such a costume by the justices of the
supreme court of the District OF
Columbia has been suggested, and il
is said that several of the members
Of the court are in favor of the limo
walton.
As to court criers, the item of ap
preparation TO pay such officials was
cut out of the bill by one house o.
congress several years ago, back
woods representative arguing that {
court crier was a luxury not to bC
tolerated by his vote. The item was
restored, however, in conference
and the criers survive.

Black Diamonds.

The only place in the world where
that form of carbon known as the
black diamond, or bort, is found in
marketable quantities is in Bahia, in
South America. The substance
used for points for stone drills and
saws, and is powdered and used to
polish diamonds and other precious
stones. There is a wide and grow
ing demand for it.

Insurance for Maidens.

Women insure against being old
maids in Denmark. If they marry
before they are 40, what they have
paid in goes to the less fortunate,
and these last are pensioned for the
remainder of their lives on a scale
proportionate ON what they paid in.

Tuesday evening, a serious diff
ficulty occurred on the south bound
passenger train at Bolivar between
M. B. Farris, of this county, and
Edward Owens, a culvert contractor
of the Illinois Central Railroad.
The best information we have been
able to obtain in regard to the I'M
fortunate affair is as follows: 1t
seems that Farris had visited Toone
and bought two jugs of whiskey,
one of which he claimed was stolen
from him. When he boarded the
train at TOone to return home, he
entered the smoking car. Among
the passengers was Owens, who had
been to Jackson on business and
was returning to Bolivar to do some
work for the railroad. Among the
purchases o gens made in Jacks on
was sack of cabbage. When he
attempted TO get OFT the train at
Bolivar, Farris accused him of hav-
ing his jug of whiskey in the sack.
Words ensued, when Farris struck
him powerful blow over the eye
with jug, knocking him to the
floor Of the car. Ovens was remov-
ed to the depot, and physicians
summoned who dressed his wound
Farris was taken in custody By the
sheriff. Owens is dangerously hurt,
but was thought to be some better
Thursday morning. Farris has
been placed under bond Of 50, 500.
A preliminary trial will be held
here December 9th, before Esquire
S. D. Jacobs.

We are reliably informed that
Hickory Valley is soon to have a
new enterprise--a broom factory,
with capital of between twenty
and thirty thousand dollars. The
plant, it is expected, will give en-
ployment to about fifty hands. Its
establishment, which is an assured
fact, will encourage an industry
the raising of broom corn-said by
those who have investigated it to be
by far more profitable than the pro
duction of cotton, requiring less
than one-half the labor.
