There was just a suspicion of frost in the morning air. which caused a crimp in the leaves and added extra luster to the glorious autumnal tints. Helle Meade lies some seven miles west of Nashville, out on the Cather ine pike. Tho road to (Jcneral Jaok fcon's historic home runs past Vander bilt University, alongside the Cen tennial I'ark and through the best residential portion of the city, until the open country is reached. Thc vi cinity of Nashville is a happy hunting ground for the 'cycling enthusiast the roads av? of the billiard table or der and tho latch-string is ever hang ing on thc outside. * ?. ? It was truly an i?lcal day to visit Helle Meade, and as the sun elimbed over thc Toiiuossee bills the pictur esquely placed farm probably looked its very best, dust be fore reaching the entrance gate we were very much taken with the very unique fence which surmounts the stone wall surrounding thc f>,.H)0 acres ?.ompriied in the estate. Tho wall is five feet in height, with galvanized iron poles mortised in the stone work and strung together with five strands of wire. The purpose of the added height is to prevent the fallow deer, elk and high-strung thoroughbred stock from breaking bounds. We af terwards learned that the stone struc ture was in itself a monument to thc thrift and enterprise of our hosl, for every stone used in its construction had beeu picked off thc domain it en _i_l rm. . . it. civscu. xMu generally uureiuuuera* tive toil of clearing the soil had thus been turned to profitable account, but even at that the masonry work for the construction'of this magnificent fence cost thc ?encrai $(?-1,01)0. Hut this story has to do with the hospitable interior of Belle Meade rather than its fence, its unequaled collection of thoroughbred sires and dams, its elk and fallow deer and its herd of Jersey cattle. I'pon arrival at the driveway of his home, (Jencrai Jackson met us in person and made us welcome. Thc house is a good exam ple ?if the old colonial style which is to bc seen at its best in Virginia, and has that impelling sense of comfort and hotnclikcncss which thc modern skyscraper has no usc for. The (?eu eral conducted us into his sanctum half library and half office-and be fore we had removed our gloves his hoad f??iotein appeared with a tray carrying examples of the far-famed Tenuessce toddy, '/he appetizer had. scarcely struck the right spot before Mrs. Marks, thc General's elder daugh ter. announced that breakfast was served, am. we adjourned to the very handsome dining-room, the walls of which arc hung with portraits ?if the Jackson and Harding families. ( i encrai Jackson's immediate fami ly consists of himself, his elder daugh ter, M rs.Marks; Iiis younger ?laughter, Mrs. Ellison, and his only son. Hard ing Jackson. There was room for 20 people at the spacious table, but only eight sat down that morning to break fast. In addition teethe family, thc two sons-in-law. my friend and myself comprised the party. The meal was distinctively Southern, but it was more distinctively home-made. The Jersey cream was luppplied by the General's famous herd. Thc eggs were from his own hennery. The bread was home-made. So was the baeon. The venison cutlets came from thc loins of a stag that had first seen thc light of day on thc hill tops . of Belle Meade. As the (?eneral put it, even the well-groomed au? .deck darkey who waited on thc table and the ancient itantie who cooked thc victuals were iiome-made products. Breakfast lasted nearly an hour, but Ohe time flew, rapidly.

The I'rince of Wale? hob nobbed with him at the Turf ('lui* at Newmarket, and udked him for an opinion about bis great horde, I'or simmons, winner nf thc Derby and St. heyer of I KIM?. " I was somewhat disappointed with Persimmons," said the (iencral. when speaking ot' his introduction to the I'rince. 'I doubt whether he is really a great race horsc, such as <)r inondc wa.-. I should ' lass him, rather, a- a Lord Lyon or a (?alteo Moore than a.s a (iladiateur." On Newmarket Heath, where all the great classic Knglish races arc de cided, the Derby and St. Leger only excepted, (j encrai Jackson met Rich ard Croker, of New York. *:I was more than pleased with Tammany's signal victory in (?renter New York, which, of course, was largely due to Mr. Croker*s great gen eralship." The breakfast was about ended, and General Jackson felt conversa tional. "I am particularly glad of the Tammany chieftain's iucccss, for I am a great admirer of Mr. Croker. "Indeed, 1 ought to like him, ?or my business dealings with him during thc last few years have certainly been very profitable to inc. 'Mr. Croker came to Melle Meade just as you gentlemen came this morning. Ile wished to sec my es tablishment and I sent him word to come out. 1 had hud no previous dealings aud, indeed, had only a casu al acquaintance with him. Ile was visiting thc South on pleasure bent, and when I conducted him over my farm I had no thought that wc weald ever join in a partnership. As we looked over thc stock he would fron time to time make inquiry as to the prices obtained at my sale of yearlings. I told him that at one sale in New York 200 of my yearlings had sold for an aggregate of $2011,200. ile ap peared interested in my statement, but made no comment. ' That evening, when enjoying our post prandial cigar. Mr. Croker said to lue : " '( ?encrai, 1 would like-to purchase a half interest in the thoroughbred product of Helle Meade. Will you name a price?" I answered affirma tively. Mr. Croker inquired, 'How much? "I reflected for a moment, and then, never dreaming my proposition would be accepted, I said I would seil a half in to cst in the product of my thorough bred sires and dams for $250,000. Mr. l'rokcr asked for pen and ink, drew a checkbook from his pocket, filled out it cheek and handed it te me with thc simple statement. 'Wo are now part ners. Kindly send me your acknowl edgement to-morrow.' I looked at the check, found it called for $200,000, ?nd expressed th? hope that our part nership might be a mutually profitable one. I sent my rec to Mr. Croker next morning and continued his Lrip South that evening. "The first year of our partnership ire divided ?5"),000. Of course, this iras a terrible fall from our record .jade when the yearlings averaged H .Old apiece, but the country was en tering upon a period of particularly lia rd times and the horse-breeding i il lus try, perhaps, was the worst one Int. Times continued to grow worse, ?nd when thc time for our second partnership sale came along, values of ,oung and old thoroughbred stock were down to bedrock. That year Mr. Oroker and myself divided toil.000. Mr. Croker appreciated the situation and made no complaint of the poor showing. ? * * * "When I met Mr. Croker en New market Heath last summer we had juite a lengthy conversation on thc tature of thc American turf. Mr. L'rokcr confessed that he had, in a measure, lost his interest in racing on this side of the water, and stated that it was his ambition to win an Knglish Derby with a foal of his own breeding. 'I have an ideal farm at .Wantage, in Berkshire,' said he, 'where I haye my old champions. Dobbins. Yorkvillo Hello and several other mares. ?f i .an raise a colt or filly by' Dobbins. out of Yorkvillc Belle. ' anti win tho Derby the height of my ^racing am bition will be attained. I intend to lev?te my leisure to this project and is a consequence I should like to be released from my Belle Meade invest ment.' Mr. Croker assured mc he would rmi si ll Iii" half interest it) my farm without my consent, and added that if I could see my way to make h U.i au ? lier he would be glad tn en tertain ii " 'The horse-breeding business,?Mr. Croker.' -aid I. 'has received a t?ni hlc set hack of late and has been en tirely over-done, Non:- interest is ...?.j worth anything lil.'- what it was when you joined issue with nie, and I am not ahh- to make you an offer corn il.i n-urate in value with your interest ill Hollo Meade.' Mr. Cloke,- r,,\u cided with me in my view of the situ ation, and again pr-?.?-? ?I? nie lo make him au offer. 'I dislike to name so low :i ligun . wa-, my reply, 'but. really, I could not alford to pay you more than ?."?5,000 for your half iu tere.-L.' '' "'That j rice,' said Mr. Croker, "is perfectly satisfactory.' I gave him my check, and thc. interest of Mr. Croker in Belle Meade was at au end. The partnership cost Mr. Croker near ly $100.000, but he accepted the loss without hatting au eye or expressing a single word of regret. "That is why j was glad to hear of Mr. Croker s success in New York. "That is why L like the man. His plucky way of accepting his loss made a .strong impression upon me, and I sincerely hopi; he will live to attain his ambition and win au Knglish Derby with a scion of thc great Dob bins and the equally great Yorkville Belle.'- . * x * .* Breakfast was over and the start for the stables made. Our first visit was made to the stallion's paddocks, and our hr st. introduction in the equine line was to Iroquois, tho horse that had achieved the very triumph which Mr. Croker hoped one day to accom plish. Yes, Iroquois is the only American-bred horse that ever suc ceeded in beating the British et their own game by carrying off thc blue rib bon of the English turf-the Derby. Sixteen yoars have passed since Iro quois flashed by the winning post amid thc acclaims of hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic turfmen who knew no country nor race distinc tion, but ungrudgingly welcomed the horse that had come across the ocean to beat the best of his year. Iroquois has retained his youth better than most stallions, and is as sleek and velvety as are all his companions at Belle Meade. Luke Blackburn is another of Gen. Jackson's pets, and well he deserves his Pinaster's affec tion, for he haB been as successful as a sire as he was invincible as a race horse. Then we saw Tremont, the blaok whirlwind; Clarendon and Dan dy Dinmont, both promising sires. TithonuB and Madison, recent impor tations, purchased during Gen. Jack son's trip through England, were then shown to us. Both horses are as sew to stud honors as they are lo this country, but as each bas thc blood of St. Simon in his veins, great expecta tions are indulged that they will be worthy successors to iroquois and Luke Blackburn. From the paddocks of the sires we were taken to the nurseries of the WcanlingH. Tn ono groat square sta ble were 51 bred on the purple colts und in another and duplicate stable were 41 aristocratic fillies. Millions of people in this country arc not as well housed and eared for as are those baby race horses of high degree, and thc sanitary arrangements might well be copied in our best houses. Theo wc visited thc matrons, the great Gip sy, thc stately Duchess, dam of thc great Clifford, and a hundred othei mares of noble ancestry. * * * * V.'e sauntered through the deer, park, where 50 elk and over400 fallow leer arc as much at home in their 50? icres of forest as they were in theil native hauats. As a stirrup-cup we visited the co* ?tables where 200 pure-bred Jcrseyi md 200 graded cows are milked twice i day. These stables and thc adjoin ng dairy and creamery are of thc most up-to-date model. Gen. Jack ion's two daughters have entire charge )f this department and so woll do the-, nanagc it that after paying up all th< liouschold expenses their joint pit money exceeds the salary of a Fnitec States Senator. Belle Meade, though hiddeu away it he hills of Tennessee, has for many i ?'ear boen the most famous thorough ired farm in thc country. Noted mei 'rom home and abroad have made i .dlgrimmage to the home of thc grea inquirer. President Cleveland an< Iiis bride were guests of Gen. Jack mn's, and thc then mistress of th? White House patted the gallant oh liorsc whose children's successes oi '.he turf he loved so well are eve ceepinrr his memory green. Mo visi .or to Belle Meade ever received mon sordial welcome than did Sir Tattoi Sykes, England's greatest brr .der o 'ace horses. Despite his 70 years, Si Patton made the trip from Yorkshire :6 Tennessee just to see how good am itly managed an establishment Boll Vleade was. Gen. Jackson tells witt nfinite zest how surprised the veter-.i Englishman was with tho discipline .he order, the cleanliness and tin houghtfulness to be found through mt the greatest horse farm in th? tountry-~Belle Meade. BLACK DIAMOND RAILROAD. | Its Prospects and Advantafles. Itijdey [Ohio) /:> r. Hw iou <>r THE UKI::-It* wonder if I thc thinking, business people of Rip ley arc aware of thc great struggle now going on in ?ho financial world I for control of the grain markets if! Ku rope. Tari/Fa may change, manu factures languish, pauics spread ruin and distress, but in spite of all thc nation which control thu grain markets of Kurope will bc prosperous und pow; erf ni; llccoguj/.ing this fact, Russia has the las) three years been building rai! loads at a tremendous rate to deliver her wheat at seaports. Knglnnd in recent year.*! has expended millions of dollars on irrigating works and con struction of railways for developing her immense wheat fields in India. Millions of Itritish money have }<< ;:;? lost in Argentina, South America, and thc greatest banking house of London, Haring Bros., swept' away tu thc vain effort to develop the country, establish railroads aud make it thc greatest and cheapest grain producing area in thc world. The conditions which have brought American wheat to its present price may not occur agaiu in twenty years. Cheap transportation is the only sal vation for thc farmer, and on the pros perity of thc farmer largely depends thc prosperity of the business so closely arc its business interests inter twined. The average cost of trans porting a bushel of wheat by rail from Chicago to the sea is 12 cents. A re cent writer in the North American Rc view has demonstrated by facts and figures that with a railroad properly constructed for that purpose-a rail road with low grade, light curvatures, and cyal deposits for its locomotives accessible at different points along its lines, wheat can be carried at a profit for three conto per bushel from Chica go to the sea. This means control of the European markets, not only for wheat, but meat, corn, oats and for age. Business men are awake to the ne cessity of doing something at once, to meet this pressing necessity, ?his bat tle for the markets of the world. In New York it is proposed to spend $000,000,000 to widen the Erie canal into a ship canal with 25 feet of water. St. Louis is about builJ!:ng a fleet of steam barges, each to carry 800 tons and draw 15 inches of water. These barges are expected to carry grain down the Mississippi at a cost of threo cents a bushel. What I wish to call to the attention of your readers is the fae* that in this struggle for cheap transportion the Black Diamond railway is easily in the front. The plan ?and construction of the road are exactly on thc lines sug gested by the writer in the North American Review^ although the route is different. With its branches to thc State capitols of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio; its Chicago -ind Cleveland ocs ucetious, its short routes, low gradea, light curvatures and unlimited coal supplies, thc Black Diamond will play a most important part in this inter national fight for control of the Muro pean markets. Another hattie is also being fiercely waged-the battle of the seaports, Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent by the genoral government in improving and deepening the water approaches to our seaports. Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk and New Orleans, in fact, all our seaports except Port Royal have been heavy beneficiaries, and all are clamoring for a goodly share of the ocean carrying trade. Herc again the Black Diamond is at the front. vTo say nothing of the in creased distance from Kurope of the (tulf seaports, New Orleans is more than one hundred miles from the (?uh* up a river difficult of navigaiie-?, sud like Mobile, Galveston and Port Ar thur, troubled with shallowness of water. Port Royal, the South Carolina ter minus of the Black Diamond, is con cededly the finest seaport on the South Atlantic coast, and far and away ahead of anything on the gulf coast. The combined navies of the world might find quiet anchorage in its ca pacious harbor. Around its land locked waters a great commercial city is destined to spring up whose phe nomenal growth will surpass even that of Newport News. Ripley is fortunate in beiug located on the lina of this great commercial highway of the future, the construc tion of which is as certain as the con ing of the morning. Ripley, with iti lovely location, magnificent water front, and facilities for water trans portation, its rich agricultural re sources behind-it requires nt pro phet to see that, with the ] coming of the Black Diamond, Ripley will be transformed into a flourishing manu facturing city, its long banished busi ness and trade will return to it, in creased an hundred fold. Everybody will be happy, none more so than Your obedient servant. WM. fi. Roo v.us. Nov. 2?, 1897. - One Minute Cough Cure eurea quick ly. That's what you want ! Kvan? Phar macy. ? Interesting Facts About Spools and Shoe Pegs. 'Oxford County. Maine, turns out nearly all thc spools on which thc sewing thread of this country is wound." said a wholesale dealer in such articles. "The spools are made from white birch timber, ami they are produced in Oxford County. There are many other parts td' Western Maine also where the iud us try is im portant. There are numerous saw mills in that part ol' the State which are kept busy all thc year round saw ing white birch logs into strips four feet long, and from one to two inches wide, and of tin; same thickness. These strips are sent to the spool factories, where they are quickly worked into ?pools by the most inge nious labor-saving machinery. "The strips of white birch are fed into one machine, and they are not touched, ir; fact, are hardly seen again, until the spools, all finished for mar ket, except polishing, drop out by the bushel from another machine Hcveral rods away from where the strips started in. The spools get their gloss by be ing rapidly revolved in barrels, turned by machimcry, thc polishing resulting from the contact of thc spools in the barrel. "In the backwoods villages of Ox ford Couuty one sees scarcely any other industry but spool-making, and every person in thc neighborhood is in some way interested in tho busi ness. Thc factories have been eating into the Maine birch forests for years, but there still seems to be enough of the timber left to feed the machinery for many years to come. Hundreds of thousands of feet of logs are cut and sawed into spool timber annually. "Shoe-peg factories are also an im portant branch of business once pecu liar to Maine, although it has of late beeu followed to some extent in other Eastern States, and is spreading to lue hardwood forestB of Northern Pennsylvania. Maple is used largely in the manufacture of shoe pegs, al though white birch is used at some factories. Shoe pegs are sold by the bushel, and arc worth all the way from 75 cents to $1 a bushel, accord ing to quality. More than $150,000 was received by Maine shoe-peg fac tories last year for goods. "A curious and profitable business has grown up in the Maine woods, near the sawmills, in thc utilizing of the immense quantities of sawdust by compression. Thousands of tons of this waste material are bought for a more nothing, and are pressed into compact blocks and bales, and in this form are finding a ready market for kindling and fuel in Eastern cities." - "Why," she finally ventured to falter, "do you look BO sad when we are sitting thus?" "Because," he answered, ' gassing tenderly down into her troubled eyes, "a man always looks sad when he holds a lovely hand." She was somewhat rcsasured, although 3he did not quite under stand. ar-* ii a Fn . ? moon foison.
