Hemoatrophine, a drug, costs $2,100 a pound. Chicago coopers get 20 and 25 cents for tierces. Ballroad laborers, at Bangor, Penn., were cut to $1 a day. Natural gas saves Pittsburg 7,000, 003 tons of coal per year. In "Virginia the ten-hour law has caused talk of cutting wages. Washington, Pcnn., printers will demand 30 cents per 1,000, or $2 a day. Newark trunkmakers struck be cause they could not make over S1.G0 a day. j There were no iron furnaces in the irest ten venrs mre: now there arc 400. ' On Nebraska railroads bridge car penters get from S2.50 to $3.50; labor ers SLOT to $2. The production of pig-iron is now at the rate of more than 9,000,000 tons per year. Cleveland men object to the em ployment of Canadian captains on American vessels. The Michigan Labor Bureau shows that Detroit furniture workers don't average $1 a day. Concord, N. H., granite cutters de mand nine hours and pay day at least once a month. Detroit plasterers get S3.50 for a 9-hour day. They want eight hours, same pay, on April 1st Miners in the Granite Mountain, Mont, get $3.50 under ground and $3 to $3.50 at surface work. The cannery of Armour & Co. has a capacity of putting up in one day 225,- 000 pounds of corned beef, 50,0001 pounds of fresh boiled beef, 10,000 lunch tongues, -1,000 ox tongues and a multitude of minor products. The world's fair attendants will not starve. In Great Britain 350,000 organized miners demand another advance of 10 per cent in wages. Of these, Lan cashire has 50,000; Yorkshire, -10,000; North and South Staffordshire and the Midland district, 18,000; Monmouth shire, 16,000: Notts, 8,000; Warwick hhire, 6,000; Leicester, -1,000. Before an English commission it was declared that wages were higher in America, the material they had to buy was higher, they had 50 per cent more to pay for rails, -10 per cent for coals, and 40 or 50 per cent for labor, and yet the American railway com panies carried goods at one-third the cost charged in England. Siace 18S0 the value of southern property has increased from $2,913, 436,095 "to $4,220,160,400. The rail road mileage has been doubled, the cotton crop increased by a million and a half bales, cotton mills have doubled in number, and that section produces five times as much pig-iron as it did ten years ago. The Kennebec river ice crop last year amounted to nearly 800,000 tons. This year it will be double. It costs f romlS to 25 cents a ton to gather it, and sells for cash at $3 a ton, or $4 J aid for contracts to deliver on time, oe Mauley iuforms the New York Press that the crop will sell for $6, 030,000, half of which is clear profit Wonders of the Sea. Oceans occupy three-fourths of the earth's surface. At the depth of 3,500 feet the waves are not felt The tem perature is the same, varying only a trifle, from the poles to the burning sun of the equator. A mile down the water has a pres sure of a ton on every square inch. If a box six feet deep were filled with sea water and allowed to evaporate, there would be two inches of salt left on the bottom of the box. Taking the average depth of the oceans of the world to be three miles, there would be a layer of salt 230 feet thick over the entire bed should the water evaporate. The water of the ocean is colder at the bottom than at the surface. In many places, especially in the bays on the coast of Norway, the water freezes at the bottom before it does above. Waves are very deceptive. To look at them in a storm one would think the whole water traveled. The water stays in the same place bnt the motion goes on. Sometimes in storms these waves are forty feet high and travel fifty miles an hour nearly twee as fast as the fleetest steamship. The base of a wave the distance from valley to valley on either side at the bottom is generally reckoned at being fifteen timesthe height Therefore an aver age wave, say xmo twenty-five feet high, has n base exceeding over 375 feet The force of the waves breaking on the shores is said to be seventeen tons to the square yard.

Show- -Thirty Thinking the readers of The Mobkixg AsToniAX would like to know the many and varied experi ences of show life, a reporter called on Mr. Arlington (or as he is more familiarly known "Billy' Arlington) at his rooms in the Occident yester day and found the "Merry Minstrel" willing to give the public any infor mation that would be interesting. "I was born in New York state," said he, "and when quite a lad I had a longing for the stage, often appear ing at the different amateur enter tainments. My rapid strides as an amateur soon brought me into promi nence. In 18G0 I was encaged by Avery Smith, a circus manager, to go to Havana, Cuba, where, with four others, wo gave specialty minstrel en- tenainmenis in me ring, wnu great success. "The Cubans think a great deal of the American artists, often giving val uable presents to their favorite. It is a custom of the country for the audi ence to come behind the stage at every intermission, much to the an noyance of the performers. The governor-general of the city sits in a bos allotted to him, and by him you might say the show is run. If ho do sires an encore you are obliged to re spond and woe to the manager not performing all ho advertises. "On my return from Havana I was engaged by George Christy the then great minstrel, playing at Niblo's on Broadway, New York. We traveled all through the South. At Charles ton thomiustrel band serenaded some fifteen thousand people from the ver anda of the Mills house. They were having a secession convention, known only to the leaders. The minstrels wcro invited to a banquet given in honor of Jefferson Davis, General j Beauregard, Bobert E. Lee and many other noted men from Charleston. We went to Mobile and from there to I ixew urieauP, piaying at ine Acauemy ol music, men raauaneu uy unviu. Bidwell. The company went from thero to Yicksbnrg and arrived at St. Louis the very day that Fort Sump ter was fired on. "On my arrival at New York the Qrm of Arlington, Leon, Kelly and Doniker's Minstrels were formed. We traveled all through the country, locating in Chicago in 18G3. We built the Academy of Music on "Wash , 1J.--H r ' rogton street remaining there foui :; years. Immediately after the great fire the firm of Arlington, Cotton and Kemble's Minstrels were formed. We built the Myers Opera House. Iu 1875 Ben Cotton and myself went to San Francisco under an eight weeks en gagement to Tom Maguire at a salary of 250 perweek each. Billy Emer son, Bobby Newcomb, Cool Burgess, and Harrigau and Hart were at times members of my company." "Did yon ever appear on the lecture platform?" 4,Ye3, 1 lectured for a number of years. Mine was a humorous lecture, "Life's Problem." In New Mexico they have what they call a 'burro,' wo call them donkeys. They are nice for children to ride, as they are perfectly harmless. I sent one to New York to my little girl and the station agent was quite Tattled,' he not knowing tho name of 'burro.' Ho said when reporting the way bill that he had 'a bureau short and a donkey over.' " HIS MOSQUITO STORY. ''Mosquitoes? oh yes, they are good boarders, they 'settle their bills' every night, they are also good poker play ers, 'every time they draw they fill.' But St. Paul is the place for rnos- quitoes, a good many of them would ' weigh a pound oh no mv bov, I . didn't f-ay one, I said a 'good many.' They bothered me so I couldn't get ' a wink of sleep, the only way I could ' get rid ot them was to gee under a big cauldron or large iron kettle. That didn't avail, they poked their bills right throngh the kettle. I took a brick and clinched their bills on the inside of the kettle. Still no use. They flew away with the kettle." "Now," said Billy, "I will tell you n mosquito story that will surprise you. "On my return from Europe a few years ago, as I was pacing the upper deck one evening or rather near sun down, I looked off to windward and saw, as I saw supposed, a large black cloud, it seemed to come nearer and nearer, it turned out to be a big flock or swarm of mosquitoes. They lit on every part of the vessel and disap peared as suddenly as they came, but the strangest part of uiy story is that when they left there was not a shred of canvas to be seen on the vessel." "You don't mean to say tho mos quitoes took tho cauvas with them!" "Well," said the minstrel, "all I know is that a few weeks after my ar rival I met a friend who had just come back from Europe, and ho said that on tho trip, out a big flock or swarm of mosquitoes lit on his vessel, and ever last one of 'em had on a pair of canvas overalls; so, yon see, my boy, it must have been tho same bevy," and Billy laughed so loud and enjoyed it such that people thought that C. T. Trenchard and Captnin Whitcomb were adding to tho audi ble smile. "Do you ever call up remembrances of the long ago? asked the reporter. "I do," said Arlington, a shade of re collection stealing over his face and when 1 de: I feel liko one who treads alone, Sorno banquet hall deserted, Whose lights aro fled, whoso garlands dead, And all bnt him departed. Tho great minstrel will give one of his inimitable performances, ably assisted, at Ros3' opera house to-mor row night. V. O. Toggle. LaGrangc, Ga., writing about Darbys Prophylatic Fluid, says: "It is a priceless jewel as a disinfectant and deodorizer. Jly wife states for the benefit of young mothers that it is a valuable adjunct to the nursery." It is equally so to parents travelling with children. Xot only is the iluid invalu able as a deodorizer, but a few drops added to the water in bathing will re move all eruptions from the skin, chaf ing, etc, and greatly refresh and soothe. Some days ago a drummer tried to sell whetstones from a quarry in Ohio to a Raleigh hardware firm. The hardware man carried the drummer up to the state museum and showed him samples of whetstones from twenty five counties in North Carolina all better than his. Biioklcn'N Arnica Salrc.

At your request I purchased samples of the Royal Baking Powder in open market, which I examined chemically and compared with a number of others bought at the same time. The package not only contains full weight, but an excess of 2.5 per cent. I detected no impurity or adulteration, and I consider this baking powder to be uniform, pure, reliable and equal if not superior to any I have examined. I find one pound of the Royal to c .gwaBaEHgK W A DREAM. About five years ago, the town of Canton, in the eastern part of Ken tucky, was thrown into great excite ment by the discovery that a horrible murder had been committed. I say horrible advisedly; for no one but a fiend could have" perpetrated such a revolting deed. As far as I could learn, the particu lars (I only arrived at the place a week subsequent to the discovery) were as follews: One Simeon Car ruthers, a well-to-do farmer, was found literally hacked to pieces in his own yard, and with his own ax. The lo esc;pt the motivej whicll was thcf cal authorities could discover nothing A coroner's jury found that death re- sulted from injuries inflicted by some .., .. ..., -..i-,, ti person or persons governor offered a reward of $500 for the apprehension of the murderer. By profession I was a detective, and as business was dull in our line at the main office, I secured leave of absence, and traveled down to Canton to see if I could earn the reward. I had learned absolutely nothing after having been in the town for mice t trunks, iiuu hib uuum vj nia ii up wben j noe across a trifling clew; but, as I had before discovered in my 1 professional career, it always paid to follow up the slightest thread. I was in the town as probable pur chaser of Simeon Carruthers estate and that gave me the best excuse to loiter about the farm and house. I have neglected to slate that his next of kin was a nephew who lived in Man-land, and had come to Kentucky after his uncle's death to claim the es tate. In our business interviews con cerning the purchase of the farm, I had of course learned considerable of the past life of the old man. It was not an unusual history. In his ear lier years he had been engaged to a young girl in Man-land, but the en gagement had been broken by himself, he having discovered her, as he thought, in a flirtation with another. He left the stato then and settled in Kentucky. His relatives in the East heard little or nothing from him during a long period; but within two or three months of his horrible death, he wrote to his nephew. This letter the nephew had curiously enough pro Rprvwl. find in tlio liodit of the events ' which followed, it was singularly pro- puetic. Up to this time I had preserved my incognito; butlmydesiro to see tho letter led mo to disclose my identity, mm. oeg me privilege ol reading h. It was as follews: My Dear Ncphciv: A feeling of utter loneliness and despondency leads mo to write you after a silence of years. Bat I must tell some ono of a very curious dream I have had, as it oppresses mo strangely. Being a man who has never been subject to any nervous disorder, I can scarcely account for it, unless old ago is creeping on apace, and making me fanciful. I dreamed that I had sat up lato over some accounts, and fell asleep in my chair, baduenry l awoKo to nnu a man standing beside me. I noticed him close ly. He was a largo fellow, weighing not less than two hundred pounds. I noticed particularly thatvtho third finger of his left hand was missing, and a sqar ran across tho bridge of his nose; his other features were indistinct. I made up my mind instantly that his purpose was robbery, as I had drawn a large sum of money from tho bank in Louisville several daj-s previous, intend ing to buy a lame lot of stock. (All this I dreamed, mind, even to going to tho bank and drawing the money.) Tho stranger lifted one of my own axes, and bringing it down with full forco com pletely severed my head from my body. 1 awoke with a start to find that I had fallen out of bed and struck my head violently. I read no further, but my mind was made up. If this peculiar dream was verified in one particular, namely, the tragic death of the writer, it might be verified in others. Upon further in vestigation I found that Carruthers had been in Louisville four days prior to his death and drawn all his cash from the bank about $2,300. This was ample to tempt the cupidity of the ordinary assassin. To make a long story Ehort, I dis covered that the paying-teller had noticed, directly behind Mr. Curruth ers when he drew his money, a man who, the moment Carruthers turned aside to count it, presented a $10 bill with the request to have it changed. The noticeable feature of this man was an ugly scar across tho bridge or liis nose. "Yerily," thought I, "if I can catch the man of the scarred nose he will swing." But after getting thus far in the case all my luck seemed to desert me. For weeks I vainly searched for that man. I was in despair and at last gave up all hope of ever ferreting out the case, concluding to go to St Louis on a job Iliad there. Having plenty of time on my hands, I made my way leisurely to Cincinnati, and took passage on one of the steam boats for Memphis. I was playing card3 with a few choice spirits when the boat stopped at a small landing, and several passengers came on board. One of them almost immediately found his way to the card-players and joined in the game. I did not notice the man closely when he sat down, but he had hot been playing long be fore I saw that his slouch hat was pulled down far over his eyes, as if to shield them from the light Another peculiarity was that ho never by any chance picked up his cards with his left hand. I was instantly on the alert As fortune would have it, he played a losing game: bat he lost hundred after hundred without a murmur, and contain 200 cubic inches more available Carbonic than the best of Chemist, Assaycr and Geologist, with a kind of Indian stoicism, until every dollar he had was swept; then he gasped as he pushed his hat back on his head and threw his hands on the table - "All for nothing!" The instant his hat went back I recognized my man, for there was tho scar; and as his hands went down, the left one showed araissing finger. It was only tho work of a moment to secure him by handcuffs. He made no resistance, but, of course, my sum mary method of dealing aroused the other men. They calmed down quick ly, however, when I showed them my badge and told them I had arrested a murderer. At the sound of this ugly word the man sprang fiercely to his feet and demanded to know who called him that I answered him quietly, and, to make assurance doubly sure, told him the story of the murder as I imagined it to have been done. At the end of my recital he was a self-convicted man. Great beads of perspira tion stood out on his hands and fore head, and his first question was: "Did you see me":' That was sufficient evidence, sup ported by the testimony of the three men who had heard the question. He afterward made a confession which tallied so closely with the dream of ?Ir. Carruthers time it has made me a linn believer in visions. The money which was won of the murderer was the same he had stolen, and we therefore returned it to the heir. 1 received my $500, bnt have always considered it as lucky money, and have kept it undisturbed.
