On the coast of Brazil is a large de-
posit of monazite sand, resembling sea
sand, but somewhat more yellowish
and brownisn, which contains several
per cent of the oxides Of thorium and
cerium, says the Gas World: This
sand is shipped principally to England
and Germany, where these elements
are extracted and sold as nitrates
which are soluble in water. and with
them mantle manufacturers make solu-
tions into which the knitted cotton
fabric is dipped, subsequently dried
and the cotton burned, leaving net
work of oxides of thorium and cerium
in the proportion Of SO parts of. the
fo-mer to one Of the latter. To protect
this deliacte fabric from hreakage it
is dipped into collodon, which, upon
evaporation, stifens the mantle and is
readily burned off after the mantle is
put in place upon the burner.

Exports from Norfolk, Va, continue
to decrease, because of the system OF
barging freight from there to Newport
News. July, 1898, the exports from
there exceeded $685., 900. The amount
has decreased steadily, till last month
the exports we're only S243,-
600. Merchants and business men are
considering plans to retain the traffic.
The Republican State Executive
Committee of Alabama, which met in
Birmingham few days ago, adopted
a rule which practically excludes ne
groes from participating in the conven-
ton, and the colored contingent IS
kicking. They are making desperate
efforts to take the kink and the color
out of the Republican party in that
State. But without these how, could
it be identified?
The record to date shows that FIVE
regiments of regulars who saw actual
service in the Spanish American War,
and who lost in killed, wounded and
missing e04 men, have. fled 764 pen
sion claims, while five regiments Of
volunteers, with no losses at all in
battle, have filed 1897 claims. Such
figures as these carry their own COM
ment.
The Kaiser Wilhelm Derzeite, which
was launched at Stetting, Germany, a

and cross the Atlantic in five days. =

The last of the revised proofs of
Gen. Edward McCrady's fourth
volume, completing the history of
South Carolina to the end of the Revo-
luton OF 1776, have been sent to the
publisher, and the work will be issued
by the Macpillans in a few weeks. The
value of Gen. McCradys' monumental
work is being recognized by scholars
throughout this country and in Eng
land. Only last week Prof. William
E. Dodd said in letter to the New
York Nation on 1.-The Status of His
tory in Southern Education - In

Quebec, Aug. i4.-There are no de-
velopments in the Gaynor-Gteene case
although the general impression in
this city is that the United States gov
ernment will soon take some other pro-
ceedings in the matter. In the mean
time both Messrs. Greene and Gaynor
are enjoying. their liberty by walking
and driving around the city where they
willsprobabiy remain for some time to
come, as they have no intention Of re-
moving from here. While on their
daily walks or drives they are closely
followed by a Quebec detective who
always keeps them in view SO that an
other attempt at kidnapping would
probably fail.

THE WEEPING HABIT.

According to Col. James Tillman he
saw tears course down his Uncle Ben's
cheeks when he read ISLANDERS about
himself. Once upon time man
went about this state saying harsh
things about such men as Col. Viii
liam Monroe, Col. A P. Butler, Gen
eral johnson Hagood, Senator j.. d.
Earle, General John Bra.tton and Gov
.ernor j. P. Richardson, who are dead,
and General M. C. Butler and Major
Tom Woodward, who are aliye.
Nobody ever saw them she'd tears.
Which proves only that some men are
Weepers and some are not.-Laurens

Palm Oil Butter.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Mr. Yerkes,
the commissioner of internal revenue,
has made decision on the question
whether palm oil in very smau guam
titles may be used in the manufacture
of oleomargerine. The commissioner
holds negatives. His decision says:
'.This Office rules that in which so
minute and infnitesimal quantity of
a vegetable oil is nsed in the manufac-
1tnre of oleomargerine is proposed to
be used Of palm oil, and through its
use the finished product looks like
butter of any shade of yellow it cannot
be considered that the oil is used with
the purpose or intention of being a
bona fde constituent, part or element
being solely of producing or impart-
ing a yellow color to the oleomargerlne
and that therefore that the oleomarge-
rine so colored is not free from artifi-
al coloration and becomes subject to
the tax of the ten cents per pound. ("

Mr.. Teller to make on this outlaw
ticket the Vice Presidential run. Mr.
Teller, however, forbade the use OF
his name then, and the programme
which otherwise would have resulted
in Teller and Bryan fell gasping by,
the wayside.
One month later when the Demo
Gratis gathered themselves together IN
Chicago Mr.. Bryan appeared with con-
testing delegation; he was himself per
sonally pledged again and again for
the support of Mr.. Bland. He broke
has word he deserted his pledge; he
accepted the fuke- -profered nomination
of that Democracy he had three times
sought to betray and made tie race for
the White House with his honor
because Of his treason to Mr.. Bland
and hisgthrice-a attempted treasons to
sDemocracy-with his honor, l say, IN
the dirt beneath his feet.

Messrs. Vest, Cockrel, German,
OfFerraM, Dubois, Sibley, Pence,
Jones, Stewart, .Tarsney, Teller. Cock
ran, Catchings, Watson and Simpson
ard scores besides will commend it for
plain accuracy. Such being Mr.. Bry-
an's story, one has a right to assume
that it comes from him with but black
pct black kettle grace to point at Mr..
Hill and Mr.. Cleveland as self-seeking
egotists, traitors of Democracy, and
mere cheap arty-slippers for their own
Door ends: and whether or no turned
deaf so Mr.. Cleveland or callous to-
ward the Establishments of Mr.. Hill,
