Aye, the priest? of the gods shall themselves be sacrificed because they neg? lect their worship." Thus he raved on, after the fashion of a weak man maddened with terror, while his nobles and attendants, who had fol? lowed at a distance, clustered about him, fearful and wondering. At length there came an end, for, tearing with bis thin hands at his royal robes and at his hair and beard, Montezuma fell and writhed in a St upon the ground. Then they carried him into the palace, and none saw him for three days and nights. |TO BS COSTIN HUD.] JOSS IS TO HAVE A NEW TEMPLE. Surrounded by True Oriental Luxuries, the Deity Will Receive Bue Homage. 'The Chinese citizens of Chicago will soon have the most magnificent joss house in America, " said Sam Moy to a reporter. "The entire furnishings fer the place aro now being designed and made in China, and we expect to open . the house in about three months. Our people are habitually very quiet and not given to display or parade, but the dedi? cation of the new josshouse will be at? tended with Chinese ceremonies and a parade far more elaborate than has ever been seen in Chicago and probably in the United States. "The place will not be used as a joss house alone, but also as the lodge or headquarters, of the Chinese Freema? sons of this city. There are many of these here, and the society is hundreds of years old in China, In addition to this it will serve as a place for the tem? porary entertainment of the people of our nation who make a few days' stop in the city. They will be housed and taken care of there. " Hip Lung, probably the wealthiest Celestial in Chicago and a relative of Sam Moy, explained that every piece of furnishings fear the josshouse is being designed and made in China, and that the furniture will cost not less than $2, 000. It will be made of ebony and other rare and costly oriental woods and will be elaborately carved and heavily decorated with gold. The entire cost of the house will not be less than $7,000 or $8,000, and there will be nothing like it in America. It will have two large jossrooms, with the finest Chinese hangings, decorations and furnishings. Then there will be a large general parlor or reception room for en? tertaining the general guests and two private parlors for special use. The location of the josshouse is not yet known.-Chicago Post. Stratford-upon-Avon. It is a pity that the Americans are not allowed to buy Stratford-upon-Avon and transport it to the States. They would at least treat it with the respect it deserves, which is more than we do. A short time ago the carved oak doors, which were placed at the north end of the church a century before Shakespeare was born, were temporarily removed, whereupon a utilitarian churchwarden sold them as lumber.

Pomaria, S. C. ^^^~?-?-??--^^ That Railroad Outrage. Mr. Thc mas Will Investigate Mrs. Hogan's Treatment. Columbia Register. The Register recently republished an accouot of the treatment of Mrs Hogan, who took the South Carolina train at the Union depot instead of the Coast Line, she desiring to go to Sumter, and how ?hf was taken several miles down the road and was put off the train with her children in the rain. Mr. Hogan, it was announced, intended to sue the road for damages. The matter bas been called to the at tention of Railroad Commissioner Thomas and the following letter bas been sent to General Manager Emerson : COLUMBIA. Aug. 16. 1874 Mr. L. A. Emerson, Getters! Manager South Carolina Railway, Charleston, S. C. Dear Sir : I send yon the enclosed slip Kindly have the matter thoroughly investigated and give the Commission the result thereof. Mr. Hogan has made complaint to me, bot I cannot believe that any railroad in this State would have in its employ a oonduotor who would be so disregardful of the comfort and safety of thr travel ing pnblio and who knew so little of the duties devolving upon him as guardian of the wives and children of our people while traveling on the publie trains. If Mr. Hogan's statement is true, it is your doty to discipline the conductor, and publish to the world that the "Old Reliable," hitherto known ss having a foll corps of conductors koo wo as geo rlernen, will not let its reputation b* tarnished by such treatment as Mrs. Hogan and ber children were subjected to. Yours truly, H. R. THOMAS, Railroad Commissioner, Colombia Journal, Aug. 17. The account given by the stewardess at the Union depot of the above is that Mr a. Hogan asked ber which was the train going towards Charleston. That she told her there were two traios going to Charleston, the Coast Line and the Sooth Carolina That Mrs Hogan sai? she wished to go on the South Carolina, and the stewardess assisted her on board. The condocter ou the South Carolina Railway, when he found that Mrs. Hogan wished to go to Sum? ter, be did all that he could do, which was to assist her in getting off at the junction of the two roads about a mile and a half below the city, where she could take the Coast Line train. This is what was done, and is all that, tbs officials at the Union depot know of the affair. "As an evidence of the growth of the cotton manufacturing industry in the Southern States it is worthy of note that twenty cotton mills are now in opera? tion in South Carolina, and throughout the past two years of industrial depres? sion every mill in that State has been run on full time and has been making money? with but two failures to record. Favorable circumstances surround the industry in the South, for it is possible to manufacture cotton there far cheaper than in the North. The question of dividends, however, is the most inter? esting one to those who have iovest ments iu cotton enterprises, and the returns just in from the half yearly reports show that oapital pays from eight to twenty-two per cent., the best average estimate being twelve and a half per cent for the past tbree years. Three mills alone in South Carolina earn $750,000 annually on an investment of about $6,000,000, and this is the indication that the Southern States have uncovered a new source of revenue that must bring great wealth within their borders. - Southern cotton manufac? turers are not fighting the tariff, but giving strict attention to the business demands of the market, while the Northern mill proprietor is discussing how to secure a dead equality in the channels of trade and passing by the importance of giving full business atten? tions to the laws of supply and demand, which, after all, are the only true business regulators.
