r And this reminds me of what I have
re s
just read in the Andover Review for
et November. It is the organ of New En- r
d gland orthodoxy. It is now lamentini
the decay of religious interest among
Ae the farming population of the North. n
Dr. Dunning says that there are nine
tv-five towns in Maine where no reli
to
tgous seivices are held, and there are
ir ore country villages in Illinois with
out the gospel, than in any other State
in the Union. Just think of that! The
great State of Illinois that has two
counties that imake more grain than all
Georgia. This great State that stands
fifth in the scale of education, and for
tieth in the grade of Christian religion.
What do you say to this you advocates
for education? Education regardless
of moral training?
Dr. Dunning says that the Presbyte
rians have 1,200 churches without pas
tors, and the pastors have 10,000! t
u-Nearly all of these vacant churches are
in the country towns, where farming
h is the principal occupation of the peo
ot pie. They once had pastors or religious
e- services, but not now. The number of
educated men in the Northern pulpits
is steadily decreasing and the young
A in t
men who are graduatidg in the theo
a logical seminaries are seeking other
callings because there are no inviting
m fields for them to work in. The city
churches are futl, and the country
wil not pay enough to keep
body and soul together.
,k The fact is that farmers whose homes
et are under rnortgage don't take much
v stock in preachers or preaching. No
It thing bows a man down like debt-a
s, debt that he knows he cannot pay.
d The best index of the prospeFity and
t- the morality of a community is the
j. standing of their preachrs. If the
. people are doi'ng well they have got
y preachers, and they pay them, and they
r. fix up their churches and take a pride
n in them. Poor people, poor pay; poor
- pay, poor preach, and hence the young
men who want to preach are discour
~e aged.
n But, thank the good Lord for his
e, mercies, this is not the case at the
ry South. Our small to svns are generallyI

[Register, 14th instant.1
The annual meeting of the State Ag
eultural and Mechanical Society last
ihit in Agricultural lall was largely
,tended. President Mcfver occupiedi
le chair.
The presideit, in delivering his anl
ual address, reported that with the
istructions of the executive committee
4rious improvements had been made
1 the building at a cost of about .2.500
ir new buildings and . 00 for repairs.
'he twenty-second annual fair of the
ciety had been more successful, j u dged
v the attendance, than any preceding
ne. This should inspire the society to
niewed exertion to provide comfort
d accommodations for the exhibitors
nd visitors. It was his melancholy
uty to announce that since the last
:teeting three lonored and esteemed
:embers of the society had died.
The election of officers was a very
iiple affair and was done with great
nanimity. All the old officers were
e-elected, with the exception of one
iember of the executive committee,
hose place had been vacated by death.
'hat member was Mr. N. C. Robert

ONE OF REEI MOTIVES.
kn Armumen. for the Force Un11 InpatNl
to the Speaker.
(.11 oNI), Va., "Nov. 9.-Thomas
,rasty of the Baltimore Manufacturers'
itecord was in RiLchnond to-day, and
while here gave some interesting facts
xbout the force bilL He said:
"About two months ago _Mr. W. 1'.
Itice, the leader in Southern invest
nents at Boston had occasion to visit
Washington. At his request I went wit h
him. Having formerly been a noted
New-England Republican, he was
warmly received by Speaker Reed in
his private room. Reed bad lost sight
of the fact that Ilice had placed several
million of dollars in Southern proper
ties, and so he took him into his confi
dence. Said Reed: 'See here, Rice,
something has got to be done to stop
this exodus of capital from New-En
gland. The South threatens to para
lyze our industrial prosperity. This
election bill will call a halt on South
ern investmeuts, and that's why I am
urg,ing- it so strenuously.'"
"Mr. Rice 'confidentially reported
this conversation to my friend Harry
St. George Tucker of the Staunton
(Va.) district, and not only to him.
but to a number of Northern, and
Eastern Representatives and Senators.
At that moment it happened that the
very men on whom Reed most relied
in the Senate to strangle the South
were so heavily interested in Southern
properties that, to a man, they repudi
ated allegiance to party and bethought
them of the losses that would have to
be pocketed in case the odious force
bill should be passed."
St ore Your Cotton and Get Your Price.
As cotton is bringing such a low
price now we think it advantageous
to the farmer to hold his crop, or as
much of it as possible, and wait for the
prices to take a rise. In the next issue
of the Cotton Plant will appear an able
editorial on the subject and as we con
sider it so appropriate in every sense of
the word we give it below.
Thp Cotton Plant thir week will say
editorially:
It is important that every farmer
who stores cotton in Alliance Ware
houses should put some limit of price
upon his _i_ T" otber words,
when you store your cotton, put your
price on it, and authorize the manager
to sell whenever a buyer offers that
figure for it.
This will greatly facilitate matters,
should a buyer from a distance want a
lot of cotton of a certain grade, and
should look through the warehouse
with a view of buying. Buyers would
be induced to make special trips to the
warehouses, if they knew that the
manager could sell them a car load of
cotton, after the price was agreed upon,
without having to run around over the
country and trade with a dozen differ
ent men perhaps.
More than this, if it were known that
the manager had his cotton graded,
and was prepared to quote pirices on
car load lots of any desired grade,
buyers from all over the country would
be telegraphing to him to know wheth
er he had certain grades and at what
figures.
In many cases, too, a car load of cot
ton could be sold to a better advantage
-that is, at a higher average price,
than could he had for a single bale or a
half dozen bales.
In short, whenever we get our cotton
graded and in car load lots; and it is
understood that the nianager isauthot
ized to sell above the limit fixed by
you, your cotton market exp)ands be
yond the limits of a little inland town
market, and( takes within its possible
scope the markets of the States, of the
United States, of the world.
Let the custorners at the warehouse
in this county and in every counity,
invariably put a reasonable price upon
their cotton when they store it, and au
thorize the manger to sell at or above
that figure.
In niy jndlgmient this pr'actice cor
tamns the germis of direct shipment of
cotton to Europe. It is not outside the
range of possibilities for consignments
of cotton to be niade direct from Alli
anee WVarehouses to Liverpool,. and
contmenital p)orts. It is coming, and
comuinig through the channels of the
Alliance.
The day is comning when the miana
gers of Alliance Warehouses alonig the
Santee, Peedee and other navigable
waters of our State will make consign
ments of Alliance cotton direct to Euro
pea ports as regularly as the weeks
rll around.

JAY COOKE'S ESTATE WOUND UP.
lhe Last Dividend Paid, Making a Total of
15 1-2 Per Ceiit. on 86,451,000.
.PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.-The trus
tee of the estate of Jay Cooke & Co.,
announces the payment of the final
dividend upon claims presented before
Monday next. The final dividend will
be 11 per cent. in cash on $6,451,000,
and 8- shares of Northern Pacific pre
ferred stock, 3& shares Oregon Steam
ship and Navigation Company stock
and three-fourths of a share of preferred
stock of the St. Paul and Duluth Rail
road to each $1 000 of claim to creditors
holding that amount and upward.
With the payment of the final divi
dend the affairs of the estate of Jay
Cooke& Co., will be wound up, and the
total amount of cash paid on it will
have been 1-51 per cent, on $6,451,000.
The liabilities when the firm crashed
in the memorable year 1874 were near
ly $11,000,000. This amont has been
reduced by comprom'ses, litigation
and various formq of redemption
to the figure above named, something
less than 60 per cent. There were 3,200
creditors when the firm failed, the
largest of whom were the banks and
theGovernment.
There has been no divinend paid
since 1881, when the fourth one was
distributed in cash to the amount of
13 per cent. cash. The fifth and final
dividend brings the last chapter of this
historic and honorable failure to a
close.
During the process of winding up the
intricate affairs of the estate, the Jay
Cooke interest has acauired about one
half the outstanding claims through
redemption and purchase. In the dis
tributions of stocks and bonds to the
creditors, the amount, in the aggre
gate realized, has more than exceeded
the extent of the claims.

The Growth of Incomes.
Mr. Russell Sage has been interview
ed by the WVal-street Daily News
about Jay Gould and his fortune. 1,e
said: "There is not a man in America
or in the world at large who absolutely
owns and controls, and has registei-ed
in his own name, as many stocks as
Mr. Jay Gould. It is no exaggeration
to say that be draws more revenue
from his invested capital than does any
other living soul.
"In order that some idea may be
had of his wealth, it is simply neces
sary to take three of his stocks: Man
hattan, of which he owns and has reg
istered $10,000,000, Missouri Pacific,
$12,500,000, and Western Union $2.5,
000,.000. Of these three, independent
of his vast number of bonds and other
dIividend-paying securities, he draws
for dividends over $2,000,000 a year.
His income from other sources, of
course, amnounts to four or live times
as much.
"Pe'tole do not appreciate what the
:lnwunmt of an income of a man like Mr.
(;ould means, It will be readily seen
that lhe cannot commence to use for
his owvn piersonal uses even a smnallipart
of the interest which the dividend mo
ney alone would yield. He must rein
vest it, and 1e does reinvest it. When
y-ou consider that there are scores, and
I might say hundreds, of people whose
yearly rentals, dividends, interest on
honds, etc., amount to, wvell, from a
half millhon to two million dollars a
year-, it will be readily seen that they
have considerable surplus to put inte
new in vestments. The creation of secu
rities which continually goes on indi
cates that there are plenty of peOple
who are willing to put their money
into them."

JOB AS A STEAM ENGINEER.
An Interpretation of His Book which
Makes Him the Pioneer of Steam En
gineering
The last place in which one would
be the book of Job. Yet a recent au
thor has presented in a large octavo
volume of 362 pages his conclusions on
this very point. They are to the effect
that the entire steam plant, railway
organization, boiler and engine prac
tice, are treated of by the inspired
writer. We allude to the work of Mr.
Samuel 0. Trudell, entitled "A Won
derful Discovery in the Book of Job."
If the author's view of the case were
adopted, a new chapter in the history
of the steam engine would be supplied,
and the Marquis of Worcester would
have to yield to Job as the pioneer in
steam engineering.
Behemoth and the Leviathan have
always been -adopted by many com
mentators as the animals referred to.
But Mr. Trudell goes beyond the most
doring inovator, and in a revised ver
sien of the passages relating to these
monsters finds allusions to the steam
engine of to-day. A description of the
method followed in his new interpre
tation will give the best idea of this
most striking effort in the field of bibli
cal criticism.
The author, fully to support his the
ory, has been compelled to furnish a
new rendering of the parts of the book
of Job which he uses. Accordingly
we find a translation given of the pas
sages in chapter xl. and xli. which re
late to the Behemoth and Leviathan.
The claim is made without reserve
that it is the modern steam engine in
its different forms that is there de
scribed. It is evident that our space
does not permit us to give the full
bases for the argument. The separate
verses are made subjets of as many
chapters, an.d the analogies traced be
tween the descriptions in the poetry of
Job and the more prosaic steam motor
are really surprising. Tho most cu
rious details are traced out, such as the
supply of water to the boiler, the up
right smoke-stack, and even the ma
nipulation of the stock of railroad com
panies is found described. The size and
number of pages in the volume give
the besl evidence of the work bestowed
by the author upon his labor of love.
It may be worth while to cite from
the special translation appended to the
book some of the most striking pass
ages. The account begins chapter xl.,
now one with great
heat, . . . he will consumeIoW"er
os well as cattle do," which is pret y
fair description of a steam engine. A
little further on, v. 17, it says, "His tail
will set upriht like a cedar." This, the
author concludes, refers to the smoke
stack. In v. 18 we find, "His hollow
bones are tubes of brass, his solid bones
are bars of iron," which is a very good
embodiment of modern engineering
practice. In v. 11, which the special
translation renders, "He will rest be
neoth light shelters and within a coy
ering of fibrous reeds and clay," the
author finds an allusion to non-con
ducting covering for boilers and steam
pipes. Going on to the next chapter,
we find v. 6 thus rendered, "Companies
will feast upon him, they will share
him among speculators," which it is
needless. to say fits the case of modern
railroad companies and speculators ex
actly. Th's is one of the extraordinary
parallels of the work. It is perhaps
equaled by v. 2 of the same chapter,
where the hook (ring) in the monster's
nose i, construed as an allusion to the
piston rings of a locomotive, and where
the jaw bored through with a thorn
supplies an rilusion to the piston head
bored through with its piston rod. The
bad effects of an engineer allowing his
water to run down is given in the same
chapter, v. 25, ,'From dryness render
ing him furious, he will not have pow
er to to withhold; the curved vault be
ing to break up and also the armor."
This, of course, means that the engin
eer must watch his water gauges or
there will be an explosion.
For a portion of v. 23, chap. xl., and
for v. 24 immediately following the
author furnishes the following transla
tion : "Behold hc will absorb a river
and not fret ; . . . he wvill gather it,
up in his fountains by means of traps
and with a perforated nozzle." Our
author in this finds described to action
of a pump with its valves (traps,) and
the perforated suction pipe with a
screen at its epd to exclude solid par
ticles. Even the coup)ling together of
a train of cars is found in v. 1 of the
next chapter : "Thou wilt extend Le
viathan with a hook, or with a snare
which thou wilt cause his tongue to
press down." The tongue our author
believes is the representative of the
coupling link, and the hollow draw
head and pin is the "s,nare." The
caulking of the boiler is found in v. 15
of this chapter: "His strength de
pends on courses of shields closed up
tightly with a seal." Our author finds
nothing clearer than the "shields" are
boiler plates, and the "seal" the caulk
ing iron. He reseives, however, the
possibility that the steam riveter is the
sealing mechanism.
This much is enough to give an idea
of the book. The author has been his
own Hebraist. The Semitic student
and author Rabbi Benjimini Szold, of
Baltimore, testifies to his high opinionl
of Mr. Truddell's translations. It must
also be said in conclusion that the sub
ject is treated throughout with full evi
dence of critical discernment and la
borious investigation.

PROF. KOCH'S CONSUMPTION CURE
rhe Discovery Pronounced a Complete
Success, and the German Government
Will Adopt the Reniedy.
BERLIN, November 9.-Prof. Berg
nann inoculated fifteen consumptive
)atients on Thursday by Prof. Koch's
)rocess, and on the following day ex
iibited one of the patients before a
iumber of physicians, in order to show
he change that had resulted within
wenty-four hours.
The Borsen Courier says it has au
hority for the statement that Prof.
Koch's remedy has proved to be a suc
ess. A famous German surgeon, it
ays, cured within five days a case of
upus, or necrotic tubercular destruc
ion of tissues of the face.
The National Zeitung-Isays Prof.
Koch, although he has pe-formed a
iumber of cures, does 'not yet consider
he time come for the publication of
is researches. Although the remedy
ias been applied to patients in tLe
'harity Hospital and in some private
ases, its composition remains a pro
'ound secret.
It has been ascertained that toxalbu
nine is the most important ingredi
mt in the lymph. Prof. Koch himself
nakes this fluid, which is injected
ike morphine to the lung consump
Ives in the back, and the other con
,umptives in the nearest spot to the
tflected part-thus, in consumption of
;he larynx, for instance, it would be at
iome point in the throat.
In most cases the patients suffer from
i high fever for two days after inocula
Jon, but this is not dangerons, as has
oeen proved by the fact that all the
%ases on which the treatment has been
1ried have stood it well and have re
5ulted most favorably.
A case of lupus vulgaris has been
ured within a few days, and the .pa
tient's face was not at all deformed.
The speech from the throne at the
opening of the Prussian Diet, on Wed
nesday next, will contain a demand

Not Capt. Ben Til1man, But His Nephew
Who was Declined Admission to the
South Carolina Club.
[Special to Charleston World.]
COLUMBIA, NOV. 13.-A sensation
was created this evening by the publi
ation in the Record of an article stat
ing that Governor-elect Tillman had
made application to the South Carolina
- '- -%bership and at the meet
clu-u r5ori LZ( .L !, ralld
ing last night he was 5faca -
President Alston called at the-NN-r.L
Budget bureau and asked rublication
Df the statement that the article is an
egregious blunder, as Capt. Tillman did
not make application, nor_ was his
name mentioned during the meeting,
The Record's reporter also stated that
be was mistaken, having confounded
Capt. Tillman's name with that of Jas.
H. Tillman, a son of the congressman
and nephew of Capt. Tillman his in
formant simply using the name "Till
man.''
There is still a sensation in the mat
ter, however, and here is the truth of
it:
Jas. H. Tillman came to the fair, in
tending -to go the state ball, and ac
cordingly made application, under the
rule, for membership in the South
Carolina club. His application was
endorsed by ex-Governor Sheppard
and Adjutant General Bonham. Be
fore the meeting Mr. Tillman was
informed that he was going to be
blackbnlled. After consultation with
friends he withdrew his application.
It it needless to say his friends are
very indignant, and to-day the matter
is very generally discussed by them.
They say he is the victim of prejudice,
and declare that such a thrust at his
social standing will-be met half way.

THE AMERICAN BOY.
No One is His Equal in Contriving Mischief.
[Irom the New York Star.]
Can a more mischievous creature
be imagined than the American small
boy? The wonderful fertility of ideasof
this boy was demonstated to meyester
day in Brooklyn by two street inci
dents. A large business house is in
course of erection at the corner of Ful
ton and Franklin avenues. I, happen.
ed to be at that corner just as the work
men quit work. Two of them in charge
of a stationary engine carefully banked
its fires and left. They were hardly out
of sight when half a dozen boys sneaked
up to the engine, and one lifted a
second on his shoulders, while the sup
ported urchin turned on the valve that
supplied steam to the whistle. As soon
as it began screeking the youngsters
ran away at full speed. I stayed ten
minutes to see if any one would come
to turn off this steam, but as I left the
whistle was still blowing. Two blocks
lower down I saw two prettily dressed
girls come out of a drug store, each car
rying a syphon of mineral water. As
they walked toward the City Hall a
boy stole up behind each of the girls,
pressed the faucet of each syphon and
the water poured down on the neat
dresses of the misses. The boys- made
good their escape, although an indig
nant citizen tried to capture them.
Stock Raising.
[W. L. J. in Atlanta Constitution.]
With the return of autumn, droves
of horses and mules are pouring into
the cottori States. As soon as the mar
keting of cotton fairly begins, and the
farmer is supposed to have some cash,
the wiley trader plies him with flaming
advertisements of fine stock. How
long will our people pursue the policy
of raising cotton to buy mules where
with to raise more cotton. Will they
never tire of this perpetual moving in a
circle? It takes about four bales of
cotton to buy' a good male, does any
one believe, for a moment, that it
would cost a farmer half that amovnt
to raise one? If n6t, why do our peo
ple persist in raising cotton to buy
mules? Is it less trouble? Think of
the labor required to raise cotton-ne
gro labor with all the irritations and
annoyances connected with it. Let
the difficulty of getting cotton picked,
the present season, bring'this matter
home to our minds.. Is it not our ttue
policy to reduce cotton to a strictly
surplus, money crop? Do not the in
creasing scarcity of labor, and both so
i1A1 and political considerations a.rge A
pr. ,4w of this course. Conixdin~
pur.QU
the superiority of cotton to other crops
as a money crop in the Southern States,
why should it be raised in place of
other tbings that are of actual necessity
on the farm. Why complicate the
owning of a mule with the uncertain
ties and annoyances connected with
labor, with the fiuctuations in value
consequent upon speculation in cotton,
with the risks of panics and disturb- -
ances in the money market, with the
profits of warehousemen, buyers, rail
roads, wharf owners, shipowners and
the whole array of middlemen. Why
allow the farmers of Kentucky or Illi
nois to get a profit out of the mule he
fore he comes to you? Why allow the
railroads to put their hands into your
pockets for transporting him to you,
and the trader to gouge you still deeper
for the little work he does in bringing
him to your door. Consider how many
profits are taken out.of the four bales 4
of cotton and out of the mule, before
the latter reaches the farmer. Now, if
he raises the mule at home, how does
the matter stand? The mule can be
raised without the negro, no s.pecula
tion, no tightness in money market, no
profits of middlemen, or of railroads
intervene. The western farmer and
the trader get no profit out of him.
The farmer pays nothing but the actual
cost of raising the mule. Is this so
great that it exceeds the first cost of the
mule to the Kentucky farmer, with all
the profits mentioned above added to
it? Does any one believe that? What
advantage has a Kentucky or Illinois
farmer over a Georgia farmer in raising
a mule? You say their lands are richer
and will grow better grain and grass.
Possibly so, but their lands cost $100 an
acre against $10 an acre in Georgia.
They may grow better blue grass than
we can in Georgia, but we can offqet
that with Bermuda, and our red clay
soils will not lag far behind in raising
clover. Texas blue grass bids fair in -
Georgia to rival Kentucky blue grass
in Kentucky. Two years' trial of it,
in competition with orchard, red top,
tall meadow oat, and English blue
grass (festuca elator), on our station
ground at Athens, shows great and
marked superiority to them all. It is
evidently a plant of wonderful vigor in
our hot climate. The winters in Ken
tucky and Illinois are longer and colder
than ours, calling for more housing
and winter feeding of stock. Labor
costs more with them than with us.
In striking a balance, the advantages
are with the cotton States, and it would
seem that nothing but the momentum
of a long continued habit perpetuates
the folly of raising cotton to buy horses
and mules.
