Statistics show that, tho yield pe
acie iu many of the Western States i
steadily diminishing, whilo the yieh
in the Eastern is steadily rising,
Fays the Cincinnati Times-Star i Tli.
Italians have been ruled l?y the great
est number of Governments of an^
people now under one constitution.
It is estimated that the loss of prop
orty by firo last year throughout thi
whole country reachod tho enormou
auui of $i(i7,000,000. This is not sim
ply guesswork, declares tho New Yorh
'Tribune, but the result of careful o<timates
made by a committee of thj
National Board of Fire Underwriters,
aud bIiowb an incroaso of $10,000,0)J
over tho total given for 1S02. It b
not surprising that the tire insurance
companies are alarmo I at the looses
they are compelled to sustain, auJ
recognize the nee 1 "of enforcing a
more uniform application of rules an 1
methods.
A benevolent agency orgamzoct in
New York last winter that excited
general interest was the loan society
originating with l?jv. Dr. Greer, of
St. Bartholomew's Church. Prominent
citizens backed it up and made it
a success. In all 171 lotus litve been
made. In no case was there default
iu payment. Tuis s>rt e* phi'm atrophy
has now stitutory recognition
iu New York State. Governor Flowor
has signed a hill incorporating the
Provident Loan Society, capitalized at
$15),00J, and to charge a rata of interest
nut to exceed twelve p9r cent.
Pawnbrokers charge thirty-six for
similar service. If any prodts accrue
from the business they will be use I
for improvements and branch oflicas.
The incorporating act provides eight
months shall ho allowed for redemption
after the expiration of the legal
term.
* As the hemlock forests have receded
from about the great tanneries in
Maine, Now York and Pennsylvania,
Tinder the onslaught of the lumborinen
and "bark peelers," the finding
of new sources of supply of tannin to
Use in th- -? ImUub u h
become of increasing importance.
One source to which the leather makers
aro turning to expectantly is thi
canaigro plant of the Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona plains, the root
of which contains a large amount of
tannin. This plant grows naturally
end abundantly on the arid prairie.
Its remoteness ami the uufamilinrity
of tanners with methods <>f extracting
its astringent principle have s? far
prevented its coining into practical
use i but for years experiments huvo
been making to timl an effective way
to obtain its active principle cheaply
enough to make it a practicable arti
cle of merchandise. it is now believed
that a practicable way of utilizing
this plant has been devised, and
Philadelphia parties arc now in the
Southwest studying the question of
tho growth and culture of cannigro,
aswellftsthe sources of present snpply,
with ft view to establishing an extracting
manufactory in Southern New
Mexico. _______________
Tho art of flying sooius to the Independent

it may bo sorn j timo yot before we actually

clear that the amount of power re
quired to maintain a body of considerable
weight in the air an 1 to drive
it forward with great velocity is nothing
exorbitint; the <1 iHi initios sooin
to lie rather in tho regulation and
direction of the machinery. A recant
investigation of Professor hangloy up*
on what ho calls "the internal work o)
the wind" throws n flood of light upon
somo of the most puzzling problems
of aerial navigation. The "soaring"
of birds has long l>3en a mystery ; the
way in which, for hours, sometimes,
they circle round over the saiuo spot
without an apparent motion of tin
wing. Ijftngley find fho explanation
in the fact (which he has demonstrator
experimentally) that the motion of tin
wing is technically speaking an "un
steady" motion ; that is. neighboring
portions of air move wi ll very different
directions and velocities so tha
the wind-stream is full of whirls and
eddies. 15y tikiug advantage of this

6RADD0CKS SASH.
The Long-Missing Relic Fo /nd Among President
Taylor's Personal Effects.
Washington, D. C.?Mrs. Pettio
Taylor Dnnilridge, only surviving
daughter of President Zachnry Taylor,
now an aged woman, living at Win- I
ehester, Va., has discovered among 1
the relics of her father the long-mis- J
sing sash of General llraddoek. This
sash was sent by General Gaines to (
General Taylor just after his brilliant 1
achievement on the liio Grande, in 1
1840. A historian of thnt time says: (

as brightly as if it had just coine from
the loom. Upon the unusual size of '
the sash boing noticed, General Worth,
who had joined the party in the tent, 1
mentioned such was the old-fashioned '
style, and that the soldier's sash was 1
intended to carry, if necessary, the
bearer from the field of battle."

TERMINAL REORGANIZATION.

New York.?The Richmond and
Terminal reorganization plan is expected
to be declared operative within
a few weeks. All the principal securites
essential to the plan have been
deposited in sufficient quantities to
permit the commit-too to go ahead.
Outside properties are now being
dealt with and negotiations are pending
which may bring into the plan a
number of securities which are at
present outside. The Columbia and
Greonville seconds get 125 in now preferred
stock, while the preferred stock
of the Columbia and Greenville is not
treated in the plan at all. A proposition
is now pending to give the holders
of this stock 40 per cent, in new
Richmond and terminal r>referr?wl
ThiH stock sold at auction some time
ago at 40.
Richmond and Mecklenburg were
included iu the first plan, but the holders,
not being satisfied with the proposition,
were left, out of the revised
agreement. Negotiations are now
pending on a basis considerably better
than the one first proposed.
Cincinnati Extension bonds, which
were also left out of the plan, are expected
to be taken in at a price which
will equal about 60 percent, in the new
securities, which is about what Erlan
ger is said to have sold his minority
interest for to the Cincinnati. Hamilton
and Dn^Uty.

FINE FRUIT OF THE LOOM.
NION GRADE GOODS FROM UNION, OAF*
FNEr AND DAMBERO
The Wtllfotd Mills May Make Print Cloths-'
Fne Warps for Lace Curtains From
Bamberg--A Bleachery Should
he Built and that Right
Early.
tfrARTANBURo, S. C.?Our cotton
miii men arc beginning (to make
finer goods than the grades heretofore
manufactured. In this county the
Uaffuey mill was the firat to lead off in
the manufacture of cloth used for the
better grades of bleached goods. Dr.
Fleming and the directors of the new
nod going (*oeaY .Well^prd con
niujilllli; uiitniug print CIOIU, priJfWIHl
the outlook for thnt grade is cucuurnging.
Any way they will spin anil
weave line goods. The mill at Uuion
is turning out lino goods also and
they nre ne w going on the market with
them. \
It was sta \in a Northern paper
that the G?ft \mill was the only one
in the State n? .sing fine goods. Thnt
was nu error, for the new mill at
Dnmberg, of which W. 0. Smith is the
president and general malinger, lias
been making a fiuo grade of goods
since it started. A sample has been
received of their yard wide goods,
1)8-72, made of 28 warp and Jill to 40
tilling. This has more thread in the
warp and pick than the Giiffney goods.
It in beautiful in texture ?lnd smooth
and even throughout. The same grade
of goods b'eaclied ranks w ith the very
best products of any mill. The JJnmberg
mill also makes a specialty of tine
warps for lacc vurtains. A sample
curtain made from 24-2 ply warp lias
also been sent for inspection here.
This is also verv tine work and the
curtain is handsome and substantial.
They run these enrtnin yarns as high
us 40.
These samples <>f goods indicate that
the Bamberg mills is doing first-class
work and they are riming 7,000 spinlies
on those line numbers. Spartmbiirg
is rather proud of that enter*
|?erprise, because President Smith is a
Spartanburg man. He learned the
mill business under 1). E. Converse,
nd so faithful was he in the discharge
?f his duties that when the Bamberg
eople wanted a man to take charge of 1
heir mill Mr. Smith was selected.
These varied manufactures will give ^
otton mills an impetus in thiH State.
iVitli all the water power in this State
md the improved . machinery it will
rop ot r?on.v' will be nianuaetured

liev are told that the water will not

mine old story that was told when the '

Superstition About the South.
One of the Northern superstitions
about the South,which, strange to say,
still existe itl sohle States, In the beli t
that the yellow fever aild other fever*
prevail yearly in certain Southern
States, apparently coming ami going
with the same regularity as the seasons
or the moon's phases. The idea is as
erroneous atnl as baseless as the one
that white inrti cannot work 111 the
South in the so miner on account of the
heat. It is stated that one of tin
standard medical text-books, a work
that is still used in some medical colleges,
solemnly defines yellow fever to
be "rt disease that annually prevuilf
ill our Southern cities."
Pf. CI. H. Wilkinson, of Galveston,
lins been given the following Interest
in? opinions 011 this subject to tin
News, of that city:
"It is not generally understood, but
the fact nevertheless exists to our own
grent detriment, that one of the greatest
drawbacks to the settlement of tin
Southern country is the widespread
and inexcusable fear of tropical 01
miasmatic fevers on the part of pcoph
living to the north of us. Tills is in
idle assertion; but it is a stubborn nn<l
most lamentable fact, the proof ol
which was moat forcibly thrust upoi
me a few months ago while traveling
through Texas 011 a railway train. <>i
that occasion I met a gentlemen, 1
banker from some Kansas town, am
in conversation with him i was asked
'How often <Io you have yell >w fevei
in your city?' My reply was that w?
hail yellow fever in Galveston in 18(?*i
in nn epidemic form and a few casci
were reported in 1873. With these
exceptions we have had 110 fever sine<
the war. 'Of course,' said he, 'yoi
have the URual miasmatic and tvphoii
fevers prevailing there all the time,
do you not?' Of late, I told him
typhoid fever had appeared occasion
ally in our midst, but in a mild form,
while m astnatio fevers are unknown 1i
originate in Galveston. My compan
ion appeared very much surprised a',
these statements,uml remarked: 'Will.
1 know 150 people in my county win
would come to your county to live i
you could prove what you say.' 'Now
the impression revealed hv my con
vernation is hut an exponent of whiu
ignorance prevails among strangerconcerning
the lu-ulthfuliicsH of om
Southern country. Therein a firm belief
among the masses of them that
i deadly ordeal has to he run by cver\
>ne who atteinpta to brave our South'
