Cot.trorce, superintendent pi peniten-
tijfiyi^Sirtjof Lainour, architect, and Mr.
Xtarjilig, ot St. Louis, were in town on
lasl; SatnnUy. They came to examine
tbfi prison grouml* with a view to the
apeedy erection of a blasting furnace.
Mr._Uarliti£ is a :nan of large exi>eneiice
in tlw^foutbuainetut, ami makes a special-
ty ftf-'Weettn* furnaces. The rapacity
of the furnace** estimated at twe t\-five
tuiih of pig liwHt |>er (lay, and he thinks
there is surface ore euougli in' close prox
imityllotlio building to supply a t>nr a«e
of^bia-capacity tor twelve years. He
comotUfoUvith Mr. Kelly itTiiis opiniou ot
the quality ot the ore, it being superior
to the ore now being used hi many places
JfjlnbClearer deposits of ore be sufficient
lor this length ot time, the vast amounts:
to oe found within a radius of six to
together with the ore, on
aijd near the line of {he K. and G. Short
jiffl fili^ay, for a'distance of twenty
utiles or more, give assurance ot practi-
cally inexhaustible supplies. In North
Carolina, and perhaps oilier States, ore
is tjci^i^jwrted greater disfancrs, yet the
nianiitacturers realize paying dividends.
A furnace of this capacity will require
2,500 buslwds of coal per day, and as all
kinds of timlter can be used for this pur
."MtfhQt 'picture of, oak, pine, etc., Wing
, j>i|eferable, ami as many farmers destroy
IMp nuaUylarge amounts of such timber,
;it, will be seen that the erection of a fur-
i nafe will give rise to a demand for coal,
iroin which owners of timbered lands
realize considerable amounts ot
cash money.
TJie State, while furnishing employ"
ment for the convicts that are, or should
'lie Confined .within the walls, will devel-
op an industry that will uot only materi-

^ ,i;Uidh'd with buckshot, fell bleeding, and

fii:Ahftivillagers were present when the
crime was committed ; but the deed was
unexpected,^ and there was no attempt

ed, beei.de# being a store keeper and mill
owner, had doue a business in loaning
money* and som«* think his harshness in

much- needed railroad facilities to the:
ridiesc part of the State.!
The *na ls bring tis further paiticulars
ot this purchase, which proves to bej
more important than we had supposed.
It is only part of a large plan ou both
sides oft lie Mississippi river, which in*
yoives the investment of tCastern capital
iu plantations along the routes of the
Mississippi Valley railroad, and the llli-
uois Central protected branch to Arkan-^
sas City or Greenville, and the Georgia
Pacific which is cnm.ing to the same lo-
cality from tne direction ot Atlanta The
plantations bought and paid for eo farj
are hi Chicot couuty, named SuunyNide,
tiy tier's^ Ilebrou, Fawn wood, Luna, Pa-!
traiiB ami Latrobe. Their aggregate
acreage: is 12,000 acres. Besi<les $230,-
000 cash paid lot them, the company has
investetl already $30,000 in agricultural
implements, A large sum beside will be
expended. Negotiations are in progress
lor the' purchase of 20,000 acres ou the
opposite bank.
The origin ot the scheme lies in the pro-
found conviction, ihspired'by long expe
rience, observation and reflection, of Col;
Jobii C. Calhouii, Jr., a practical planter,
owuer of the Harwood plantation, in Chi
cot county, a son ot the great South Car-
olina statesman, and Patrick Calhoun,
another son, that the s,\ stem of planting
which makes the agriculturalist totally
depeudent and helpless is radically
wrong ayd ruinous. a system which
debaseS tfe tiegfo J>i borers instead, of el
evatlb^ tneiii, ls cer^iinly not twiivaWe of
permanent succesg. a system which re-
quires the ." planters to be "carried"
through every season, overburdened with
obligations,'can never enrich the coun-
try. 4 •> - •• -
ThCnew fe'ompany was fornied last Oc-
tobep, aud the ,fact that it has already
invested $280,000 cash siiows that it
means, business. The factors will uot
haveUo -carry, it.. Not a dollar will be
advanced.on its d'0]>s. Not a lien will
lie oil its property. Its supplies will be
paid for iu cash. There will be no dis-
counts and no interest charges. There
will be co-operative service, schools,
chnrchfes and protection, Its laborers
will never - know want. They will' pay
100 pouuds of lint cotton or ten dollar?
per acre.
It isseareefy necessary to gay that the
people of that region are excited. That
would not convey the Condition. Tin
price ot real estate has jumped twenty
per cent. Everybody thereabout is
talking of it. .It itj not a risk on the
pait ot the company. If it purchases 32,
000 aciies at an average ot $20, say $640,
000, and invests say $260,000 in imple-
ments. supplies-, Vtp., making an outside
expenditure of..$900,000, a full crop
(which may now1 reasonably be looked
for in that locality) will bring it 3,200,000
pounds lint cotton rental, say $320,000.
Forty peK«oHfcol a full crop would in
sure ifcra rental of above fourteen per
cent, op the whole investment, if it never
received a cent for-its supplies, and if it

In the senate vesferd^y the bill passed
to provide a tariff commission consisting
ot nine members, to be appointed by the

How Watches are Made.
It, will be anparent to any o.ie who will'ex-
amine a 8oCiii (jroi.o Watch, that aside from
the necessary thickness for engravbig aud pol-
ishing, a large proportion of tlie precious met-
al used is needed only tostitleu and hold the
engraved portions in place, and supply the
necessary solidity and strength. The surplus
gold is actually needless so far as utility
aud beauty is concerned. In JAMES BOSS'
PATENT GOLD WATCH; CASES.this Waste
of precious metal is overcome, and the same
soi.idity alto strength produced at from one
third to one half of the us l cost of solid ea-
ses. This process is of the most simple na-
ture, as follows: a plate of uickle composition
metal especially adapted to the purpose,' has
two plates of solid gold soldered on each side.
The three aie then passed between polished
steel rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy
plated composition, floui which the eases,
backs, centres, bevels. &c., are cot and shap-
ed by suitable dies and formers. The gold iu
these cases is sufficiently thick to admit of all
■kinds of chasing, engraving and euameling;
the engraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth by time and use with*
out removing the gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH
TWO PLATEri OF SOLID GOLD AND
WARRANTED BY SPECIAL CERTIFI-
CATE.

pean scholarship. It has devel- W I llTQry oped' through a century 9? £y-

better adapted than any other Cyclopaedia for popular use. It contains such full avid

Upon about 25,000 subjects in every department of human "knowledge. Chambers's
Encyclopaedia, however, is a foreign production, edited and published for a foreign
market, and could not be ex- pa Br pected to giveas much promi-
nence to American topics as b AH |nA American readers might de-
sire. To supply these and ■ ® ■ .■ other deficiencies a large corps
of American editors and writers have added important articles upon about 15,000 topics,
covering the entire field of human knowledge, bringing the whole number of titles under
one alphabetical arrangement to about 40,000. Thus the work is thoroughly American^d,
and the Library of Universal Knowledge becomes at once the latest and most eompleto
Encyclopaedia in the field, at a mere fraction of the cost pi any similar work which has
preceded it. - ' f •

Russia, sprinkled edges, $20.00. In half Russia, gilt top, $22.50. In full
library sheep, marbled edges, $25.00.
The superlative value and importance of this great Encyclopaedia lies especially in the
fact that it is brought within the reach of every one who, aspires after knowledge §nd
culture. It is really a libra- ■ _ ■ ry , pf pniyfrsal knowl-
edge. It brings a liberal jpg 811TB ft M education easily within
the reach even of every ° ™ ^ P i plowboy of the country
and apprentice boy of the city. Every farmer and every mechanic in the land owes it to
himself and to his children that such a Cyclopaedia shall henceforward form a part of the
putfit of his home. To the professional man, and every person of intelligence in every
walk of life, a Cyclopaedia is a necessity.
Of course the old and wealthy publishers who have grown rich (it is said that the
Appletons have made a profit of nearly two million dollars pn their Cyclopaedia) from the
sale of their high-priced publications are not pleased that their monopolies are broken and
their power overthrown. Of course the book agents and booksellers who have been used
to getting from 40 to 60 per cent commission for selling these high-priced books are

though those who are not short-sighted discover that their own interests, after all, ate
identical with the interests of the people, and their real profits, in the end, are increased,
by the immense sales which result from meeting the people's wants. The majority of
booksellers, however, are better pleased io slander than to sell this and our numerous other
standard and incomparably low-priced publications' But the Literary Revolution has
always looked to the people, in whose interests it is, for its patronage, and it has never
looked in vain, as our more than
