WEDNESDAY, APB IL 19, 1893, Changes ta Take Place in Washington Society. Within a mooth changes mach like the game of stage coach wir! have taken place in Washington. The desirable famished houses that have always had ?Sciai teoaots will bave changed occu? pant? all around, aod an en ai re \y uew set of faces will be seen at the White House and the ?epa tments. Different sames will be uppermost io conversation, sod diSerent people feel how pleasant it is to Uve for one's country in its high place?. Society's carriages will stand before other doorways, and other vesti? bules will hoi 1 whirling snow-storms of tissue-paper fhkes dropped from coot less visiting ?ards The appointment of Justice Gresham as Secretary of State does not promise particularly gay winters to tIle diplomatic corps and their imme? diate set thereby. While a ?ember of President Arthur's cabinet, the Gresh? am family eared iittle for the pleasures and treadmill of society. Mrs. G res it am's delicate health was a 'jar to under? taking anything beyond the necessary matine of afternoons at home, and the yourjg people of the family were by no means dazzled with Washington's gai? eties. As the cabiuet eirc?e is expected to be led by and take its rone from the family of the Secretary of State, there is as mach surmise as to the social leader? ship io toe immediate administration circle, the successor of Mrs. Whitney, as if the occupant of thai first office bad not been named. The wisest forecasters believe that the scepter ol social power daring the next four years will be wielded by Mrs. Brice. During this winter their boase has been the first establishment socially among those of their political faith. Their hospitality has not by aoy means been so crude as to be limned to those of thc same politi? cal creed, and their series of dinners has gathered all that was best and most, eminent in the broad social life of tbe eapitai. Unless the new cabinet oontaiat some sceial light and genius heretofore unmentioned, the family of the Ohio Senator will plainly lead. Their ambition to do so is evident, and ? their campaigns of these two seasons j show social genius of the first order, and methods that cannot fail to secure their end. Mrs. Brice is already here aod has her home established. The new cabinet families can do nothing before next winter, and time only strengthens a good leader's hold-From Harper's Bs zar. Cotton Seed Oil and the Markets. Why are there not more cotton seed oil mills in North Carolina ? They pay. There has been steady demand for tfee oil. At present there is a lethargy io tbe New York market but it is not pro? bably ewing to over production, in Texas they are over doing this ^aracu- j lar boxiness, and the rush is so great j that the Galveston News reports that it looks as if there would be a mill to j every gin house. Fifty ?ills or more ! will be creeled this year in that ose j State. Last year 250,000 cattle wer? fed on cotton seed meal. This year it is expected that 500,000 will be fed Mr. Winfield Scott writes to the. News: **The stockmen are waking ap to the fact that cotton seed ?eal is the very j best aod cheapest feedstuff obtainable. Practical results bare demonstrated i that it is preferable to almost anything j erse? aod eatt?e raisers are using it now ! wrthout any reserve. There will soon be enough meal to feed nearly all the i cattle, and then you will see it come j ?Bte? general ase.'7 ] At Velase?? Texas, a mill will be j erected to eost ?150.000. size 400x000 j feet and of brick. Alabama is enlarging j tbe business.

Mood rn his very remarkable article itt favor of the Dis? pensary Law says : "But it is argued that 'This law authorizes the State ami incorporat? ed towna tv do the dirty work that the bar-rooms have been doinp; 1 I answer by no means It is not thc sale of liquor that corrupts and de? grades society, but the conditions under which it is sold There are proper and legitimate uses to which alcoholic liquors'may be put, such as mechanical and scientific uses, pur? poses of art, hi compounding medi? cines, sacramenta'? and medicinal rises. There is certainly no degrada? tion in the sale or purchase for these and kindred purposes." Here is a I plain admission that there isa purpose ! for which "the sale or purchase" of liquor is "a d?grad?t ron." Sale of liquor for itch purpose, our worthy Prohibition brother freely admits to be yindefensible, and the sale of it b tba State for this purpose he admits to be "the dirty work the wotk the bar? rooms have been doing/' What is j this purpose f Answer. It can be nothing else but as a beverage. Can yon imagine any other purpose which our brother has in his mind ? Now let me ask this Prohibitionist and Good Templar if he does not know that nine-tenths of the liquor sold by these Dispensaries will be sold for this vert/ purpose? If lie does not every body else does. Now what is the inference from bia own implied admission ? H is this, nine tenths of the tcork of the State trill be "the di rt g tvork that the bar-rooms leave been doing." Stich as "corrrupts and degrades society." Tiiis is strictly true, too. You are perfectly right. Bro. Mood. S M. RICHARDSON. The poor fellow who stole an eight cent loaf of bread in New York, the other day was required to give a three hundred dollar bond. The World re? marks that the bond is just six thousand times as mm*!) as the value of the pro? perty he was accused of stealing. But when me? like Eeo appropriate one or two millions to tbe:r own use thev either get away without the annoyance of giving bail or the amonnt is put at about one-hundredth patt of the amount stolen. The constitution prohibits ex? cessive bail, it is true, but was not thc? ?300 required of the hungry bread thief excessive? Eno could furnish bail to the amount of $1,000.000 much easier. The moral is, don't steal bread, steal currency and government bonds, and plenty of them.-Atlanta Coostitn tioQ. Wht> writiog wit!* ali the scientific knowledge of a great astronomer, Camille I Fiammai ion in his marvellous story "Omega: i The End of the World." which begins in the j April number of Tlie Cosmopolita/: magazine, ! keeps the reader at the highest point of j excitement bj his vivid description of the j alarja and despair excited by the approach of i a comet whose collision with the earth had j been declared by astronomers ineTitab'.e. Tr?e ? description begins at a lime when ?he business of the world has been suspended, ?nd at a j great mass-meeting held in the Institute of Franc??, we hear the discussion cf scientists ns to the possibility of a second deluge, ihe dr\ ing up of all the surface water of the globe, or the total destruction of human life by cold, together with a!! the possible phas*S of death paralleled by the history o? the moon. For scientific statement and sensational effect this characteristic production of French genius ?3 unique, and the reader who reads this mar- ] relions story-and if he begins it he will j certainly finish it-will have;assimilated with out tffjrt, a compact s'ore of sc.entific know- ? ledge, in this war, apart from its absorbing i ir.'<rest, this remarkable piece of fiction will ? have a distinct fcientific value.
