WASHINGTON NOTE*.
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

Whether this Trust has violated anv anti

A BARNWELL SENSATION. 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

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

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.

BIG FORTUNES IN A JAW.;
THE SUPPLY OP WHALSBOBTE !?'
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
