Humorous ffepartment. VALISES THAT LOOKED ALIKE. If the truuk manufacturers do not stop making so many thousands of valises exactly alike, somebody is going to get in some awful . trouble about it some time, and some trunk maker will be sued for damages enough to build a court house. The other day an omnibus full of passengers drove up town from the Union depot. Side by side sat a commercial traveler, named William Macaby, and Mrs. Winnie C. Dumbleton, the eminent lady temperance lecturer. When the omnibus reached the Barret House, the commercial missionary seized his valise and started out The lady grabbed for it and he halted. "I beg your pardon," she said, "but you have ray valise.". "You are certainly mistaken, madam," thq traveler said, courteously ; "this is mine." "No, sir!" the lady replied, "it is mine. I would know it among a thousand. You must not take iU" But the traveler persifted and the lady insisted, and they came very near quarreling. Presently, one of the passengers pointed to a twin valise, in the omnibus, and asked: "Whose is that?" "It isn't mine," said the traveler; "it is like it, but this is mine." "And it isn't mine," said the lady; "he has mine, and I'll have it or I'll have the law on him. It's a pity if a lady can't travel alone, in this country, without being robbed of her property in broad daylight." Finally, the traveler said he would open the valise to prove his property. The lady objected at first, saying that she did not want her valise opened in the presence of strangers. "Rnf no thorp wflQ nn nthpr mparts of settling the dispute, she at length consented. The traveler sprung the lock, opened the valise, and the curious crowd bent forward to see its contents. On the very top of everything, lay a big flat flask, half full -of whisky, a deck of cards, and one or two other things nobody kuows the name of. The traveler was first to recover his selfpossession and speech. "Madam," he said, "you are right. The valise is yours. I owe you a thousand apolo?" But the lady had faiuted, and the traveler relocked the valise with a quiet smile. Early in the afternoon a sign-painter down town received a note, in a feminine hand, asking him to come to the Barret House, to mark a red leather valise in white letters a foot and a half long. Only a Major.?Burdette, the Burlington Hawkeys man, was up in New Brunswick, and here is one of his experiences : "There," said one of the gentlemen of the press, I think it was Mr. McDade, of the News, pointing to an officer crossing the platform, "that is Major De Winton." "Who?" I demanded, almost speechless with amazement. "Major De Winton," replied the good journalist, apparently pleased at my emotion. I turned on him. I said: "Oh, it is, is it ? And you have the thoughtless audacity to show me a major, do you? You assume to think that I came all the way from Burlington to look at a major, do you ? You think to impress a citizen of the United States by showing him a major?" I could say no more. My emotion choked me. Why, I had just come from the land of majors. The Dominion, may its shadow never grow less nor its fish more expensive, may overshadow us with royalty ; it may outnumber us with princes and taunt us with our marquisless condition; but when you come down to majors?great Caesar's ghost! What broad empire but hides its diminished head in the shadow of our grandeur. Why, at home I buy all my "garden truck" of a colonel, and we hired a major last spring to tack down the stair carpet. It required the services of two majors and some line officer, I forget his exact rank, to put shingles on my barn, and when our provincial friends come to Burlington, a lieutenant colonel will haul his baggage up town for twenty-five cents. Why, if all the captains in Iowa should die, half the country roads wouldn't be mended this fall. Why, at the general elections, twothirds of the vote of Iowa is cast by line officers, and the field officers cast the other third. A major, indeed. I would have stood in the rain a week longer to see another princess or a new governor-general, but when I can't get into an American street-car without having a colonel or captaiD draw a bell punch on me and collect my nickel, I don't care to hunt around up here for majors. Maybe Mr. didn't know that I am a colonel myself. JgrA lady contributor tells this story: I had been out in Westchester county on a visit, and while there I found a kitten which I brought home as a plaything for my two children. To prevent any dispute about the ownership of puss, I proposed, and it was agreed, that the bead of the kitten should be mine, the body should be the baby's, and Eddy, the eldest?but only three years?should be the sole proprietor of the long and beautiful tail. Eddy rather objected at first to this division, as putting him off with an extremely small share of the animal, but soon became reconciled to the division, and quite proud of his ownership in the graceful termination of the kitten. One day, soon after, I heard poor puss making a dreadful mewing, and I called out to Eddy: "There, my son, you are hurting ray part of the kitten; I heard her cry." "No, I didr't motheV; I trod on my part and your part hollered." 8?iT In a certain village in the Highland Line, lived a worthy couple who were not always on the best terms with each other. The husband made complaint to his minister, and wished him to separate them if it was in his power. "No, no!" says the minister, "the Bible tells us, "What God hath joined together let not man put asunder;' and it says in another place, 'that a man shall leave his nn/1 mAtkni* onrl all all lint.fl Vllfi JUllICI aiiVi 4UVtllVl MUV4 v?VM f V MWVV ...v wife, and they twain shall be one flesh.'" "Och, she's no dootin' that, but if you was goin' past oor house last night you would think there were twelve of us." "Well, but it says in another place, 'to resist the devil, and he will flee from you.' " "Och, she's no dooting that neither, but when I resist her she'll flee at me." teiF A green sprig, from the Emerald Isle, entered a boot and shoe shop to purchase himself a pair of "brogues." After overhauling his stock in trade without being able to suit his customer, the shop keeper hinted that he would make him a pair to order. The price was named. The Irishman demurred; but after a "b'ating down," the thing was "a trade." Paddy was about leaving the shop, when the other called after him, asking, "but what size shall I make them, sir?" "Och," cried Paddy, promptly, "niver mind about the size at all! Make them as large as ye convaniently can for the money." 4?" "This country," remarked a traveler in northwestern Iowa, "settles up rapidly." "Yaas," replied the native, nervously watching the movements of a constable dodging along on the other side of the field, "country settles up a darn sight faster than the people do." And before the traveler could ask him to explain, he was traveling a mile a minute across the prairie, with the constable a bad second. Two eminent members of the Irish bar, Doyle and Yelverton, quarreled one day so violently that from words they came to blows. Doyle, the more powerful man of the two, knocked djwn his adversary, exclaiming most vehemently, "You scoundrel, I'll make you behave yourself like a gentleman." To which Yelverton, rising, answered with equal indignation, "No, sir, never; I defy you! I defy you! You can't do it." $he .farm awi preside.' AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE. MORE ABOUT THE WORE OF THE CLEMENT , ATTACHMENT. Editors Constitution : Some months ago, you were kiud enough to publish an article of mine on the new cotton process, spinning the thread from the cotton in the seed, or right from the field as it were. This new enterprise is now attracting much interest throughout the country, and as I am answering man}' letters of inquiry, I will ask the indulgence of your widely circulating columns once more. I have no personal or pecuniary interest in this business whatever, except to make known its extraordinary claims and its peculiar adaptability to the wants of this section of the country, especially to the hard-working and poorly requitted tiller of the soil who, as a class, really form the basis of prosperity in every land, and upon whose success the comfort of every citizen in a large measure de pends. I believe it to be an established fact that, with present surroundings, there is but little profit to the planter who sells his cotton for less than ten cents per pound. It is equally plain that with a continual increase in the product of this crop, that there is but little prospect in the rise of the price, and yet cotton is the staple crop of this section; cotton raising, in the main, is the money process of the country. Then, if the premises taken are correct, the inevitable conclusion must be that our outlook for the future is one affording but little encouragement to the cotton planter at least; in fact, to sum it all up, it just about amounts to this proposition, in substruction, that two from two leaves nought; and is not this about the true history of the case as it now stauds ? If the matter could only be reversed and be made to work by the rule of multiplication instead of substruction, then we might look forward with brighter expectations. We now propose the new "cotton process" as the finger board to the reversal that will change the proposition, bye and bye, to an example more like this, three times three make nine. In manufacturing the thread from the field, the country will realize the value of two crops for one?double the amonnt of money in one year. On the other hand, it will curtail a very large portion of the expenses of the old plan, and by saviug money we add it to the profit side. W ith proper judgment and organization, one or more Clement attachments could be run in each neighborhood, either by individual capitalists, or by stock companies of the farmers themselves, utilizing the water powers or steam as the case may suit best. Connected with each mill might be a store or stores, and grist mill; and other enterprises would cluster around, post-office, school, church, shops for mechanics, etc. Common sense indicates that right in the heart of a orreat cotton helt. within a region as healthy as this, and a climate unequalled, where labor may be congregated as cheap and as effectively as any spot in the wide world, capital and machinery must eventually move to the material, as naturally as the waters, though obstructed for a time, must make their way to the sea. The new cotton process is so very simple that women and boys can do most of the work ; in fact the machinery of the Clement attachment understands its business so well that all it needs is to be fed and helped a little. The cotton from the field is poured into a hopper, and after raakiug its trip through the machinery, comes out at the other end a beautiful, indeed the very best of thread, and I can't say how far the day is off, when it will drop the garments themselves ready for use. The Westminister mill is the enterprise of a young mechanic, J. V. Stribbling, who induced his father, Mr. Stokes Stribbling, and two of his neighbors, Mr. Vernor and Mr. Shelo, all farmers, to enter a stock company with himself. They selected a small creek, affording about six-horse power, put up a cheap frame building, 25x50 feet, with two floors, and bought the machinery consisting of one cotton cleaner, one Clement attach roent, 300 spindles, two reels, a bunch and bale press. Total cost, $3,500. They employ one superintendent (younger brother of the proprietor), seven girls and one boy, and here are the results for the first twelve months: LIABILITIES. 150,000 Ibsseed cotton at 2jc....$4,125 00 Operations and contingent expenses 1,500 00 $5,625 00 RESOURCES. 46,000 lbs yarn at 15c 6,000 00 3,600 pounds wasted 144 00 3,000 bushels cotton seed 450 00 7,494 00 Net profit $1,869 00 This mill has now been in operation twenty-two months, with results highly satisfactory to all the parties concerned. The proprietors are receiving hundreds of letters of inquiry and many visitors, all of whom, as far as I can find out, came away under deep conviction. There are already six mills using the Clement attachment in successful operation, as follows: Westminster, S. C.?Westminster Manufacturing Company, proprietors. Anderson, S. C.?Harrison estate, proprietors. Windsor, N. C.?Harden, proprietor. Newberne, N. C.?George Allen, proprietor. Mathews' Depot, N. C.?Grier & Son, proprietors. Corinth, Miss.?F. E. Whitfield, proprietor. Any one wishing to know farther, I would fkonr? tr> _T W Sfrihlinrr of WpBfminsfpr S. C., who is agent for the sale of the Clement, attachment for North and South Carolina and Georgia, and who is also projector and builder of new cotton process mills. I will again Inention some of the advantages of this new industry : 1. It will do away with the expense of so many gin-houses, dangerous lint-rooms, cotton presses, and the tedious work connected therewith. 2. It greatly lessens the risk of fire, from the fact of the small quantity of lint exposed. 3. It will save the expense of bagging and ties and much handling. 4. It makes a smoother and better yarn than the compressed cotton, and finds a ready sale at the mills, from northern buyers. 5. It dispenses with the endless clippings of middle men, speculators, weighing, marking, freights to market, storage, stealage, sampling, commissions, insurance, compressing, wharfage, etc. 6. It will employ a large number of women and children, whose labor otherwise is almost valueless. 7. It will save to the country, to be spent at home, the large margin between the raw material and the yarn. 8. It will increase our population and the money circulation, and afford better educational and church privileges. 9. It will enhance the value of real estate, and increase the demand for products from the farms. 10. It will attract capital from the north, and draw machinery to the material. To sum up, it is the true key to the wealth of the South. It will give life and thrift generally throughout this section of country. It points to our financial salvation, and can, by its workings, make this the most desirable ' country on this globe. D. U. Sloan*. P. S.?Capacity of Westminster mill 280 to i 500 pounds of seed cotton per day; yield 150 to 175 pounds yarn.
