A few days ago Dennie O’Leaty
shook hands with a. friend in Bos-
ton, His friend gave him a hearty
handclasp, and hie finger nails drew
a fyw drops of blood to the surface
of O’Leary’s palm. The hand be-
gan to swell. Blood poisoning re-
sulted and in a few days the victim
died. The humaU^ftiigcr nail is
sometimes charged with deadly

A Hungarian inventor claims to
be able to spin ordinary wood pulp,
or cellulose, into yarn, from which
all sorts of textile tissues can be.
made in the ordinary way, equal-
ing in durability, appearance and
fastness of color the best cotton
goods. If his scheme is practica-
ble it will revolutionize the textile
industry. It is claimed the method
is applicable, not only to cellulose,
but to every sorl of short fibrous
material, rags, scraps of option and
linen goods, and the fiber tan be
dyed before being spun into yarn.
The New York correspondent of
the t?t. Louis Republic says: “It
will he a surprise to many of the
friends of Mrs. Jefferson Davis to
learn that she is living in New York
in poor and uncomfortable circum-
stances. Her income is said to
have decreased rapidly in the past
few years until now it is inadequate
to her support, even in the modest
way in which she lives. There is
no doubt bnt that Mrs. Davis fail-
ed, through misreprsentation or
actual fraud, to realize her share of
the proceeds of the sale of her hus-
band's memoirs, and it wns in ^n
effort to secure justice from her
publishers that her’ income was re-
duced to its present status. The
wife of the confederate president is
not in actual want, but she and her
daughter haTe acarcely more than
the bare necessities of life/’

(ban she did ten yean ago, and
the almighty girl has tost some of

ter an alwence of ten years, .in the

oompetition of mills in other states
and England. The treasurer of thr
Massachusetts mills at Lowell and
Whittenden mills at Taunton said
that he was absolutely drivon from
the stite Snd that he was going
south, to build a mill in Order to
hold his export trade. Hie - goods,
he said?can be made much cheaper
in the south qn an identical ma-
chine. The south is ^gaininc rap-
idly on the north, though bo did
not believe the south would destroy
the northern business.
Thaits now; what' of the futureT
Ouc doca not require the gift of
prophesy, says the Dallas News, to
foretell the future of Texas ns a
great manufacturing state. Texas,
witkker immense territory and un-
paralleled natural resources, must
in time miuc to the frout and lead
all other portiohs of this continent,
in nuincrous productive enterprises,
particularly those engaged iu tjrie
manufacture of staples. Why ? Be-
cause she ranks tfll jfothcr sections
in the extend of lypr natural re
sources. She now needs capital, en-
terprise end mors facilities -for
transportation. As competition in-
crcsses those who inlliufactuxc must
avail themselves of *V«4 natural
and acquired advantage they can
possibly secure. They must save
transportation by getting as near
the raw materials ns possible. They
must get where j»ower is cheap,
where operatives can l*e fed cheap-
ly the year round,-and where the
climate is such that no time w ill
he lost on account of extremes or
. nnhealthfuloesH. Docs Texas p<>*;
sens these requirements? Ix?t ns
sgc. In the Hue of raw materials
she has twelve counties, averaging
IKK) square miles in size, covered
with long leaf pine, and eighteen
other counties, similar in size, cov-
ered with other varieties of timber
suitable for manufacturing purjKi
ses. She has an inexhaustible sup-
ply of iroH-ore, covering thousands
of square tniTF*,"nifd much of it
richer thah any yet found in the
United Stater, so much so that it is
the only iron ore in the United
States from which safe car wheela
can bo mado without admixture
with othef iron. She has whole
counties filled with granito and
marble in endless variety. She has
30/XXksquare miles of wheat region
proper\and the flour made from
wheat raised in Texas will last long-
«t.w_hen shipped on tho high seas
than any other made in theTTnlfed
lew** 4^ account of her mild
winters and mosquite grass and
“mast,” she raise horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs at less than ope-
fourth tljc^Ajifnse it costs to raise
then/in the north. Fruits and veg-
etables fne can rajfae in such abund-
ance and so cheaply that she can
afford to pay transportation and
shj^ them Uj the norlh.Afany kinds
of vegetables that would be reqtfhr-
ed to feed oji^atives.she can pro*
dqce every month in the year. Oat
4l«, sheep and hogs almost feed
themselves during the entire year.
She has water power enough to run
all the machinery in the United
States. She has thousands of sqturs
miles of coal beds which only need
developing more fully, and ookthg
obal Nrithiivstriking distances. She

Give tyie Women a Chance.
The Worth \County, Ga.,Jk>c^l
says: v ■' '• >
^‘During the war tho women of
the south mode their meat and
bread at home, while their hus-
bands and sons were off in tho
army. Now the children of these
same women say they cannot raise
their own meat, ami do not raise
their own bread. Things might Ik*
improved if the women had a show-
ing again.”
•o, and makos the glrljlhe central
point iu niftst of hie sketches of
Americans abroad. But Daisy Mil-
far was s veky living and real per-
son when Mr Henry James Im-
mortalized her. It was thought at
the time by many that sho repre-
sented a tendency in the future. It
seems to, on the contrary, that she
was even then becoming q rolio of
the past. The omnipotence of the
pert maid is most complete in the
village,*where she necessarily has
more leisure, a lighter heart and
lees to think of, than the farmer's
wife or ihe laboring man’s help-
mate. The impreseioft the produ-
ce# comes from hey vitality, not
from her intelligence. Marriage in
the life of the village is a much
more serious affair than in that
state of life to which society con-
siders that it is called. It means
hard work, a largo family, mouths

The Dcmociitio party has again
been placed in power, with tho un-
derstanding that they were to bring
about reform*. A reform :r is noc-
cessary to reform, snd wo believe
that the right man was placed at
the head of the government. (>ro
ver Cleveland is a reformer, but he
can not do everything single hand-
ed, and must depend upon his as
Sistants for the execution of his
plans, and webc-Rcve that in his se-
lection of a cabinet ho has acted
wisely. When Cleveland 0w«s
president before, ho wax hnin|wr*d
to work ofrefomi, which he will
not have iq^hi" present ailministra-
tion. The desire oTthe people, ' ir
servitude, even with tho assistance
of the modern farming machinery,
which'did not exist in the days
when Daisy Miller’s progenitrix be-
an to be, and when such a state of
ings aa exists in our time was not*
even dreamod of. The.village dra-
ma, if the village had one, was no
(lout fundamentally like the draw-
ing mom tragedy of otir time, tmt
tho actors Mere not tho same. They
were generally considerably young-
er and brought more activity and
less thought to thccvenjts in which
they played a part; more sentimen-
tality and less passion, more con
ventional stage business and less
original jsiwer. In the pastoral
state none but tho very young had
time for much sentimentality. But
we have changed all that and Daisy
Miller no longer plays the “leading
Isdy’’ in the comedy. That is a sign
of civilization, liecauas -ivilization
means all that which diminishes
the difficulties of material exist-
ence and tends to develop that we
have agreed to call the higher side
of human nature.

attend the preeidenoy, and' but for

defeated man, as-the leader whose .
party and prineiples have been
turned down by the American peo-

power has been taken from the g.o.

to do what he believed to be right
and for the beet interests of all the
people again snd again, even wbeaT
