The tobacco men in various parts of the country, especially Virginia and Mis souri. are petitioning for a repeal of the free-leaf tobacco provision in the present tariff law. The Ways and Means Com mittee of the House has authorized a favor j able report on the bill latelv introduced I by Wise of Virginia, which permits par tially manufactured tobacco or snuff to be sold and shipped from the factory without urst paying the tax thereon. The petitions for the encouragement of silk culture have resulted in the presenta j tion of bills in both Houses of Congress to this effect, and that in the Senate is fixed for discussion on Monday next. Senator Sanders, of Montana, has intro duced a bill providing for an experi&ent* forettry tree-culture reserve; and in the House, resolutions have been introduced asking the Ways and Means Committee to report bills placing sugar and agri cultural implements on the free list. Judge Mitchell of the Supreme ^Court iyx th6 District of Pennsylvania has de cided t^at speculating on margins is not gambling, even though the actual de livery is never made. The House has passed the bill which put* upon the free list "all binding t^iSe manufactured in whole or in froth istle, Tainpico fibre, jute, manilla. sisal grass, or sunn. " The Sugar Trust is said to have made $86,000,000 a year since its formation; and fUp. Scott of III. has introduced a | resolution asking the Attorney Geneffel Whether this Trust has violated anv anti > trust liw, acd whether prosecutions havt been instituted against them. The Judi ciary Committee has reported favorably on this resolution and it is thought that it l will soon pass the House. Your readers who we interested in the sugS^ business will be glad to learn that Congress ft going to make an effort to crash out this gigantic monopoly. Senator Call has introduced a resolution creating a special committee of nine to consider and 4treport to the Senate some legislation that will relieve the scarcity of money amongst the fanners in nlljarta of the country," and "wbetberiti* *?prac | ticabie to establish aotte agency, deposi 1 tory. subtreasurv, or banking system, by which, with Government aid, money shall I be kept in every community within the j need of the people, atlow rates of interest.

I A Prominent Physician Charged j With Malpractice. Columbia, S. C.-NewS of a Ver J sensational affair comes from Barnwell" involving a prominent physician. Last Thursday the coroner was called upon tc hold an inquest over the dead bodies of a young white woman who, it appear?, had b.en led astray bj the overtures of a young railroad contractor from the West and her infant.- A jury was empanelled and several witnesses examined, including tw^hi^hj^iirtelligent and respectable physicians and the fcl lowing verdict wa< rendered : "That the deceased came to bei death from child- bed fever, caused bv an ab ortion committed by Dr. G. R C. Todd." Dr. Todd was arrested upon a charge in accordance with the juri s rinding and furnished bond in the sum of $1,500 for his appearance at the Court of General Sessions. Public opinion i* about evenly divided in the matter Dr. Todd is the brother-in-law- of Abra ham Lincoln and a surgeon of no mean repute. It is said that he amputated no .ess than 700 limbs during the late war. He was in the Confederate service. If convicted of the charge he could be pun ished by imprisonment in the penitent??rv for not less than five or more thaw tm vears. A Better Outlook in the South. Our advices from various centres h the South indicate a steady improvement in general business conditions. The wide spread depression, resulting first from the financial disturbance of eighteen months ago, and greatly augmented by the alj normally low price of coUod, is gradually weiring away and confidence is being re stored. Money is more abundant in southern banks and loans are readilly ob tainable upon good security. - A genera) spirit of economy and an" efort to pay debts are two significant features of the s tuatiou that tend greatly to improve credit. The unprofitableness of the last cotton crop, and the caution of factors in making advances for this season, are di verting the attention of planters to an uousal degree from cotton to food crops. Xhe iron industry. js dull and prices are still abnormally low.**- The lumber trade at all points in the South is in good con dition and prices have been advanced in several lines. The demand is active and shipments hav# been very heavy, but the disturbed condition of the building trades iu the North and East are likely to cur tail ahiftoients to those sections for a time. There is*iittle tendency to speculate in any direction, and whatever is being done of this character is conducted on a conserv ative fiksis. Manufacturing interests in the South are in a good condition, and Sapart from the iron trade, factories are well Supplied with work and making full time. - amc,unt ?* caP*tal is seeking good inve^ment in the South, and our reports of new ea^yjjmses projected and estab lished shovr^T!e?mjv growth.

THE ORATiON. After prayer by Rev. Edward Mack, past )r 1st Presbyterian church, Senator Gray, of Delaware, read the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, prefacing with a short address. Senator Mat. W. Ransom introduced "the patriotic statesman, Governor of New York, Senator, the gallant defender of the rights of all the people everywhere and the incomparable advocate of equal justice and privileges under a free and c institutional government. " When the applause had subsided so that he could be heard, Senator Hill spoke. He paid : "Today, this 20th day of May, in the 1 16th year of North Carolina Indepen dence. We stand upon historic groUnd ! A birthday of Liberty! The birthplace of Liberty!1' "Not only was North Carolina the first colony in which independence was de clared, but it is confidently claimed ? aud history seems to confirm the state ment? that here in your State the first blood was spilled in the United States in lesis^ance to the exactions of1 English rulers, at an engagement between the royal fortes and the North Carolina mi litia, known as 4 'Regulators," so early ss the Kith of May, 1771, at the battle of Alamance M 4 'Fellow-citizens of North Carolina, it i? uot quite enough to say that the Meck lenburg patriots of 1715 won and weir, the unique fame of the precursors of American Independence. "'The North Carolina Koh i-nooi blaz s lrom a broader facet with a firiei light. The Mecklenbu*# patriots of 1775 also carried onward The very evangel of De mocracy!'' "I am iem'nded of the fact that this county lists another proud claim to dis tinction. It is the birthplace of Andrew Jackson aud James K. Polk, two Presi dents of the United States, two leaders of a great political party, tw# statesmen whose mcnivwy the country delights to honor, aad-whose achievements have re flected credit upon county and State of their nativity. Truly you live in a most favored t>orticu cf our land It was ap propriate that th??fc two great defenders of the rights of the people i should have been bom at the spot where ? liberty and independence weic first uslrer cd into existeuce."

The night was very cold here, the temperature dropping nearly to the freezing point, and early this '? morning there was a perceptible snowfall on the hill tops through this region. * Elk In Yellowstone Part. j Captain Anderson, in his report as Superintendent of the National Yellow* ?tone Park (or the past year, siyi there 1 are 2S,000 elk wUhiif >the reservation. This ll regarded at an overestimate by conservative observers familiar with every part of this region, owing chiefly to an maufBcient are* of feeding-ground within the Park borders. There are, 1 however, certainly many thousands at, j the present lime in the \ alleys and lower lands. At the approach of winter they gather in bandi, and descend from the mountain slope* ^nto the broad valleys of Lamar and Snake Rivers and the roll* ing hills of Hayden Valley. A ehort I time ago the herder in charge of the Government stock wintering near Tan* cey's reported that there were thousands of elk in that vicinity, tnany of them being so bold as to herd in with the horses and mules. In past years f hey have broken down th* fences about the hay staeks, and eaten up the hay cut for the use of the mail carrier to Cooke. Scout Buigess, who was sent out in De* J cember to look for hunters aud discover what could be learned of the game, re- I ported upon his return that in the open country of Itaydeb Val&y*1 besides an abundance of elk, there were several herds of buffalo, which he was able to approach near enough to count. Thoy were In large and small groups, and alto* gether numbered about 240. As it is not at all probable that the buffalo are confined to this particular region, it seems as if we might safely estimate the number in the entire preserve at 400; this would average a yearly increase c-f about forty head. Thus it is clear that there is sufficient breeding stock to keep the reservation fully stocked andpreveut the total extinction of the species. It realjy seems as if some animal instinct led them to realize that they were safe from the hunter wlthtiTtbe Park limita. The capture of animals for the newly established Washington Zoological Park is being successfully earned on by Elwood Hofer. Last spiing he secure 4 several black-bear cu\a?^aotelopc, doer and foxes, which during the past 6um.r mer were in Captain Anderson's charge, and afforded much amusement to tbo visitors. The bears, which were domi*. ciled in the front yard of the Captain's quarters, were called John and Sue, and were quite tame, eating from the hand and drinking from a cup. ? New York Post. Artificial Coloration of Birds. The distinguished naturalist. Dr. Sauermanj^ has published a series <>f ?ery curious observations touch! ng the artificial coloration of birds. The fact is recognized, says he. that canary biros fed on cayenne pepper insensibly change color and pass from yellow to red. Cayenne pepper, in addition to a tinctorial substance, contains au irri tating principle and an oily matter. When these two latter principles are ex tracted through maceration in alcohol, the pepper lose9 its coloring properly upon the plumage of the birds; but if olive oil be added to the product of maceration the coloring action reappears. It is inferred from this that the oily part of the ptpper is the necessary vehicle of the color. Experiments mad'.* upon wholly white hens have given an identical result. These hens possess the property of foreshadowing a change in the temperature by a very marked change of tint. The yolk of their eggs is of a very bright red. The same experiment lias been tried with the root of th?? alkan^t, with the result of a production of violet red. ? Scientific American.

BECOMING SCARCE. * Bowhead Whales Are Sow Worth $10,000 Each. Bar Are DUBenle and Dangerous to Catcly AS a matter of fact the supply of whalebone has fallen off folly, one-half within the lait few g years. Until recently th? American market handled fully five hun dred thousand pounds annually. Now, ? it is scarcely two hundred thousand pounds and the foreign supply has ceased entirely, leaving America to bear the burden of supplying the world. As to the matter of price, in 1842 the best quality of whalebone in the unfinished' ht&te soid (or twenty-nine cents a pound, now the same grade brings $5.75 .for a; like quantity, j Adding to this the profits of manufacturers and dealers, the cost of" finished whalebone to the consumer to-' day is about #10 a pound. The ladies of the world xfcill have the queer looking and erratic bowhead whales to blame if they are deprived of their comfort in the future. Not that thess are reduced in numbers or are leu prolific than formerly, but the bowhfeeds haw* taken it- 'uto their brains to move north- / ward. Whether they are bound for the.,*' North Pole or not no on? seems to know.' but they approach each jear nearer to th4 limit of the perpetual ice fields and thtjs redder it more dangerous and difficult ' ilt^o the whalers to capture them. A bowhead whale does oft ought to command every gentleman 'srepect. Their variety lurnishes the most plentiful sop* ply and best quality of the so-celled whalebone that comes to hand. They are hunted in the waters contiguous to the northwestern coast of the North ? American contineatNand are prltty little creatures of several tons wgtght and about fifty feet in length, of wjiicb^more than one-third comprises the hba^'Which con tains frequently as much as seventeen hundred pounds of bone. The question of rcspcct comis in when the value of one of these creaturos is taken iato ac*. count. It approximates $10,000. , As has already been said, bowheeds arc numerous, biit^readfully hard Uy capture. Once they were contented toi ewim and feed in the open water of the' ' Bering Sca and Strait, but now the! 3 whalers have to ascend to higher lati tudes, frequently *to that of Point Bar row, which juts out into the Arctic Occan at about seveuty-twa degrees north. The danger* attendant upon whaling have thus been increased. The whaling fleets have been diminished in numbers, the expenses of a voyage in creasai-tmrl even at $10,000 per whale the occupation is neither tempting or re munerative. But for whalebone, how ever, it would be given up entirely, for ; ordinary whale oil is absolutely not worth the cost of the labor of trying the blubber. > j The whalebone itself is found io the ? ! upper jaw of the crcuture's mouth. This ! cavity is of etiormoufl siieand is acluiMyw^ larger than that of the body, thorax and nbdomcn combined. The upper jaw is very narrow, but greatly arched from r j before backward to increase the height of the cavity and to allow Tor the great ' length of the bjtlcun, ai the whalebone . j blades arc technically called. These blades arc suspended from the upper ' gum, somewhat like teeth. They are arranged In two serins, separated by the' medial line of the mouth, and number sometimes as many as five hundred in* i dividual blades. The extreme length of the longest, or middle ISJ^djigis from twelve to seventeen feet. Thejrfcradtute down to a fei* j feet at either extremity. They are black in color, line/ and highly elastic in tex ture and ft:%y out at the inner edge and' j ends into long, delicate, soft and almost silky but very tough hairs. When tha : mouth is opined these long blades pro* | ject below and over the lower jaw. The food upon which rhc creatures subsist strains between the blades and is retained within the mouth by the long hatr./? a After a whale his beetr captured the"]*# containing the blades is cut from hlrai hoisted aboard ship and stowed below. | Whalebone readily commands $5.75 a pound in the raw state in the market to ? day, and the ro*uufaeturer* beg for it at th it fitfurr. . O It is a % ci j difficult muter to capture . ? f? whale, fven after one has been nar* pooi rd.
