" ? - -3r_'j?, American machinery is in demand in Mexico, particularly com mills and all kinds of agricultural machinery. It is a remarkable fact that nearly ninety per cent, of the professional gardeners in this country are of foreign birth. The majority are from Germany, but England is a good second.

The circular tower then proposed was to have been 1000 feet high, 150 fcst in diameter at the base, and thirty feet at the top. It -was designed by Clark, Reeves & Co., of Phoenixville, Penn., and was expected to cost Si.000,000. . There are between five hundred and six hundred Chinamen in Sunday-schools and missions in New York city. They are there chiefly to learn to talk English, for there are onlv fiftv-three of the num. ber who are out-and -out Christians; tbat is, members of the churches. A religious worker among the Mongolians says the church people have got to realize that the Chinaman is a pretty hard subject to B christianize. MB , In an address before the Boys' and Girls' National Home Association, which was recently in session for three days at the National Capital, Mr. Alexander Hogeiand, President of the association, made the startling statement that there were 60,000 boy tramps in the United States. He advocated the establishment of a reg"-^-i&sicrion system by which boy tramps might -be found and sent to farmers who were willing to employ them.

The organization wa perfected nndor the rigid code prescribef t>y the yellow bocked novel. Its mem bers swore hideous and blood curdling oaths never to reveal the secrets of thei band. Everything -was done according to written orders, signed in blood or rec ink, as the case might be. Five of th< young desporadoes were arrested, one o whom proved recreant to his oath anc gave the whole thing away. The San Francisco Chronicle considers ihat "the boldness of Chinese pirates in Tonquin does not speak well for the French administration. When these wretches make raids on villages and at:ack even Europeans in junks, it is high { Ome the home Government should do something to suppress the pest. It is a singular ccmmentary on the spread of ^ood weapons that all the pirates in the Orient are armed with the best breechtoading rifles and know how to use them, rime was when these fellows were dangerous only when at close quarters, because their antique weapons were more >ften fatal to themselves than to their snemies. Now all this is changed and in :he Chinese seas as well as among the South Sea islands, nothing satisfies the lative but the most improved rifle." ^ An American hotel, run on purely American lines, with colored cooks and waiters, Boston beans, green corn, terrapin soup, canvas-back ducks and all the other modern improvements, will be opened next year in London. Waterloo House is to be the site of the new enterprise, and already the deposit money for securing the option of the lease from the Crown has been secured, and many powerful American and English capitalists have promised their support to the venture. The hotel is destined to eventually pass into "he hands of a com_pany, but it will net be offered to the public^ttntil the structure is complete and all the other arrangementsattecded fc>. The site is Crown land, and cannot be purchased in fee simple; but the pro- ( jectors have already been conditionally i promised an eighty years' lease.

Judge Norton has rendered his dccis- ! ion in the recently heard case of Miller j Bros., of Columbia, vs. the South Caro- i lina Railway Company for damages I for cotton alleged to have been shipped | from Columbia to a point north and lost j or changcd in transit. A jury trial was j waived and buth sides submitted the i case to the Judge, who rendered his de- j cision in favor of the defendant, but ! gives no reason. Oti Wednesday the annex to the Cot I ton Seed Oil Mill and Fertilizer Com-1 paoy, at Hock Hill, S. C., containing] about live hundred tons of cotton seed to j be usid in the mill, collapsed, and a larger part of the building fell in. Loss ! about ?500.

The mysterious steamer with the ocean j cable which was expected to laud, at j Charleston Monday failed to materialize. A fleet of tug boats and pilots were out at sea during the day looking for the visitor, but nothing showed up. No definite news .-can be obtained about the matter. The impression prevails, how- j ever, that the Commercial Cable compa- ! ny will start their cable at Charleston and lay it to llayti. The public is very much excited over the rews, "but is, as yet, entirely in the dark. * There were received at Charleston a i box of bolls raised in bumter county, all j containing cottou seed without a fibre J of lint. The new plant, which was j bred in Spartanburg county, will, it is asserted, produce from oOO to 400 bush- j els of cotton seed without lint to the acre. The bolls sent are tilled with seed which are . perfectly clean, and which show no signs of lint. Every boll contains as many seeds as it can hold. The bolls are the size of the average cotton boll, and every individual seed is as clean as a Boston bean. The importance of this matter may be understood when it is remembered that there are thousands of cotton oil mills throughout the South, and the propaI srators of this new cotton plaut assert ! that at the present prica of cotton secrl | an acre of the new plant will yield from i 300 to 400 per cent, more thau an acre ! of cotton.

The past -week, like several that have preceded it, has been one of much activity in the organisation of very extensive enterprises. Florence, Ala., has led with very heavy investments by Philadelphia and New ^Dgland capitalists, including a f500,000 cotton mill, which will be the largest in thb State; a furnace to cost $150,000: a $300,000 loan and banking company and over $1,000, )00 in cash, it is reported, has been invested in the stock and land of the Florence Cotton and Iron Co. and the Florence Railroad & Improvement Co. In Florida a contract has been made for constructing a 300-mile canal to furnish a water way nearly the entire length of the State. At Bessemer, Ala.; two new furnaces to cost probably $4C0,000 arc to be built. At Briertield, in the same State, iron works that have been idle for several years are to be reorganised with $300,000 of bonds and $700,000 of preferred stock, and operations resumed. A steel plate mill is to be built in West Virginia, and extensive fertilizer works at Norfolk, Va. liailtoad construction is being pushed very vigorously in many parts of the South, and some important lines have been let to contract during the week. In all directions there is great activity in industrial and railroad enterprises, and the South was never before so busy as it is td-day. A Freight light in Florida. The Orange Belt Railway, which runs southwesterly across the Florida Peninsula, with its terminus at St. Petersburg, on the Gulf coast, is the object of much envious attention on the part of several railroad corporations. Last Friday H. B. Plant, with a party of the officials of that system, went over the line of toad with a view to purchasing, it is said, and Thursday President Duval and a party of Florida Central and Peninsula system also went over the Orange belt on a tour of inspection. It is said that the Clyde Steamship Line is "standing in" with the Florida Central and Pensacola aod that they "will. outbid the Plant people. Should this combination secure control of the Orange Belt it would perceptibly weaken the hold of the ?lant system on South Florida and give the Clyde people a portion of the South Florida trade, and also that of the Gulf. A "deal" of some kind is likely to be consummated in a very few days. A Woman in a Congregational Pulpit, At a Congregational Church Council, held at Brookton, Tompkins county, N. Y., last] Sunday, Mrs. Annie F. Eastman was ordained to the ministry and installed pastor of the Brookton Congregational Church. Mrs. Eastman is believed to be the first woman Ordained to the Congregational ministry in this country. Every member of the council voted in favor of admitting her to ordination. Mrs. Eastman is the wife of the Rev. R. E. Eastman. While her husband was pastor of the Brookton church and duriDg his long continued sickness she first read his sermons from the pulpit and next took to preaching sermons of her own composition. The congregation finally askr.d her to take her husband's place. Among the clergymen of the denomination who took part in the ordination services were the Rev. Thomas K. Beechcr, of Elmira, the Rev. Edward Taylor, of Binghamton, the Rev. R. P. Davis, of Owasco, the Rev. J. J. Hough, o^Berkshire, and the Rev. P. S. Fitch, of Buffalo. He Wanted HaBh. Ex-President Cleveland has become a raconteur. While in "Washington recently he told a story uf a state dinner at which a certain well known Democratic politician was present. The politician was gorgeously attired and made a sensation by his appearance. During the repast chicken salad was passed to him of which he helped himself liberally. Before the waiter had made the circuit of the tab^e the politician had devoured the contents of his plate. He was pleased. "Here, -waiter," he cried out "briug me some more of that hash." Mr. Cleveland's rendition of this anecdote is said to be very effective.

THE NATAL COMMISSIONS EEPORT Recommends Port Royal as a Port of Gal! and Repairs, but New Orleans Selected as the Navy Yard Proper. I ^ j The commission appointed by Secretary j Whitney last January, pursuant to an j act of Congress, "to report as tu the i most desirable location on or near the j coast of the Gulf of Mexico and the ! South Atlantic coast for navy yards and dry docks," ha3 made its rcpoit to Sec- j retarVTracy, at Washington. This com- j mission visited and examined the follow- i ing sites, the advantages and disadvr.n-j tages of which are set forth in detail: j pr?rt Koyai, S. C.; Sivannah, Ga.; Brims- ! wick, Ga.; Sapelo Sound, fl*.; Key j West, Fla.: Tampa Bay and Pcnsacola j Bay, Fla.; Mobile Bay and Mount Ycr- i noc, Ala.; Biloxi, Miss, and New Or-] leans, La. The conclusion of the com-; mittee is as follows: "After carefully weighing all the advanta j ges and disadvantages of Algiers as n site fur I a naval 6tation the commissi >n is of tbe opin- | ion that while th<? spot is not an ideal one, i no other place o.i the Gulf compares wi-.h it j intne advantages offered, and that the ad-j vantages are so great and outweigh the i disadvantages to such an extent that the c om- ' mjssion has no hesitation in recommending ! the location of the navy yard and dry duc ks ! at tbe present Government reservation at I Algiers, La." The site selcctcd is situ itcd opposite i [ the lowcf end of New Orleans, and em- i braces the Government reservation of 3S4 feet front ou the river, by 2,SS0 feet 1 deep. Additional grout di would have to j be purehased, but this, the commission J says, can be purchased at a reasonable j prifce. The dry dock there, it is estimut- i ed, will cost $840,000, and require throe years for its construction. As to Port Koyal, the commission recommends the establishment of a dry dock, a depot of naval supplies and a; rj/yijng station on Paris Island, at the site of the present naval station. An estimate accompanying *he report, fixes the cost of a dry dock, simi'tu- to those now building for the Government, at j $673,000, to be completed in three years.

"Take yoifr boy home and keep him in at night until he is old enough to take care of himself," said Judge Me- i Adam, in dismissing the suit of Anuic Ilerschfeldt against Hugo Schwartz yesterday afternoon in the city court. The remark was addressed to Mrs. Sjhwartz of (54 Cannon street, and concerned a youth of 18, who wore a red shirt and a stoUt leather belt. He had been in Ludlow street jail awaiting the outcome of the actioii for breach of promise brought by Miss Herschfeldt, who is 2:j years old. Schwartz asked to be set free as a minor, and said he earned only .*a.ou a week, and had only one coat. lie said he didn't want to marry Annie, hadn't visited her, and bad only a passing acquaintance with her. He denied emphatically that he had promised to marry her or had borrowed $45 from her. This was in direct contradiction of the J young woman's testimony.

An Organization for The Perpetuation of x atnotisnL The National Jackson Club, which was organized at Nashville, Tenn., Monday, issued an address to the people which starts oil by sajing "the perpetuation yf a republican free government : rests upon the patriotism of the peopleIn proportion as patriotism degenerates or is alloyed with mercenary desire, does the danger of dissolution increase." The address calls attention to "the evidences oi decay tnat are ucgmnmg to ue maiufc-sr. which. unless speedily arrested may result disastrously," and says that "political parties, ali of them; make* 'spoils' their Urst ci>ject, and it is gradually be? ing instilled into the pubiic mind that the proper reward of the government for . service and the devotion of its sons is sordid iticre rather than the blessings of freedom acd protection it was created to bestow upon them." The address heralds a storm of anarchy and disruption and asks "How may danger be arrested? A man lived who by iron will and executive power hu.-led back the first great dar^eMlnitni^ ism, represents the code of patriotic principles. To draw the nation back to the contemplation of the sublime character of Andrew Jackson is to inculcate the pure and loyal principles upon which his great life was predicted; to have ali the people with unanimous voice reiterate the ?raad sentiment, 'The federal Union?it shall and must be preserved.'n "The situation appeals beseechingly to patriotic sons of Columbia to come to the rescue." "The first annual meeting of the Club is called to assemble in.the city of Nashville on the Sth of January, 1890, under the shadow of Jackson's tomb, on the day be made memorable, .and to this meeting all the people of our great country arc invited, and particularly those who are in sympathy with the movement.
