The articles in the special statistical edition of
The News, tar September 1, 13S1, have been
copyrighted, and entered according to act of
Congress at the offioe ot the Librarian of Con-
gress, Washington, D. C. This action )ias been

against wholesale absorption by book-makers.

The Providence (R. L) Journal thinks Matthew
: Vassar's condition to his last bequest of
$80,000 to Vassar College very singular
—that »*he professorships provided for
; should nftver be filled by women. " It might
be inquired," says the Journal, " of what use is the
higher education of women if they are not sup-
posed to be capable of making any practical ap-
plication ot it other than as an accomplishment,
and aj-e cat from the very sphere which would be
supposed to be the most appropriate and creditable
to the college?" It might be answered that the in-
stitution ivas founded for the education of women
] that they /-.lght fill with wisdom and dignity the
sphere ofwoinen; thai they might be intellec:ually
compahio»*l)ie as wives, aud capable of imparting
instruction as mothers.

wnat more, in ponderosity, avoirdupois and
massive conservatism does the country want in the

longs to him, why not retire him through the pro

The Quincy Herald defends Guiteau—says he is
as honorable a man as President Garfield, and then
with evident apprehension that the toe of a boot is
in close proximity to his intellectual base, appeal-

question of " right" doesn't coma in ju»t there—it
is a question of capacity with the Herald.

One of the strangest farms in the world is
the gigantic terrapin farm of Mr. Dorton, in
Alabama, which is stocked at present with 20,-
000 head of turtle, that are reared and fattened
for the New York market. They eat nothing
iu winter, and they can be fattened on crabs in
summer at a cost of $1 a dozen. Mr. Dorton
sells them at $1 each in !iow York.
People who, five vears ago, were killing off
the venerable Mr. 'filden by means of all the
diseases known to the medical fraternity will
lie rejoiced to hear that the old gentleman is
skitting gavly from the Catikills to the White
mountains and enjoying himself immensely.

" The unexpeoted " aud the odd "ehanca " seem
to accompany Mr. Garfield as guardian angels.
The " one chance " he selected when the doctors
were so stingy as to allow him but one out of
hundred, was the best iu the lot, and now the
'• unexpected " comes to its aid just in the niek of
time to rescue the President from the capa-
cious ninety-nine chances and general expectation.
" Evert large city," says an exchange, 'has its
Jennie Cramer." It maybe true; but there are
few endowed with such fatal beauty, and, fortu-
nately, there are few cities cursed with such accom-
plished aud affluent reprobates as her destroyers.
When men learn to guard and revere the virtue
aud innocence of other men's sisters and daugh-
ters, then will their own firesides be safe and
sacred. Poor Jennie Cramer was weak, but not
vile; vain, but not criminal.
Not slow, but steady, is the motto for reduc-
ing the national debt. Another month's re-
pc rt shows a little over fourteen millions reduction.
It seems a good deal of money. It is just so much
saved and put into ra lroad building and other in-
dustries, lowering the rate of interest and thus
spreading the benefit among all. If the. process of
collecting the money were somewhat cheaper and
less vexatious to industry and trade it would be
better.
It is now stated that the fuud for Mr. Garfield,
actually subscribed, amounts to $155,757 65, and
that it will be readily increased to $250,000 if the
President should not recover. A few days ago it
was given out that Mr. Garfield had declined tlii
gift with decided emphasis. The Tribune says
"certificates for §125,000 ill government bonds,
worth $145,281 25, have already been placed in the
hands of Mrs. Garfield." Thit's all right, but the
confusion about the acceptance is a bad example
for young children to whom parents are trying to
teach the principle of the " little hatchet."
The head of the British school system has lately
reported to Parliament through Mr. Muudella that
there are now 3,895,000 children registered in the
schools in England which are under the inspection
of the government. The average attendance is
2,751,000, and 81 per cent, of the children " pass'
in arithmetic, reading aud writing. There is now
expended for primary education £5,053,000, of
which £1,9S2,000 is contributed by the government,
£1,431,000 is paid by the children in weekly tuition,
and the rest by local taxation, endowments and by
other means.
Tiie Philadelphia Evening Bulletin advocates an
energetic movement toward the abolition of the
cobble-s'one street pavement. Some of the pret-
tiest and most durable pivements in Galveston
are made of perpeudicular pieces of loblolly pine
about eight inches in length, cut into hexagons
four or five inches in diameter. The effect is pleas-
ing. Placed close together in some sort of cement,
they form pretty mo aic work, and promise to last
longer than any other pavement yet tried here.

New Okucaxb, September 1.—Iu accordance
with resolutions adopted by the Executive Council
all cotton iandltrs ceased work this morning. The
new force, organized by the Labor Bureau of the
Employer.' Association, consisting of about COO
men and boys, including 100 from Mobile,
was distributed, to the r.umb -r of about 300, in
various presses, the balance being hold in reserve.
No effort was made to interfere with them,
although about 1000 strikers were assembled about
the Union press, from wlituce the new men were
distributed. As soon as the distribution was com-
pleted the various pre ses were closed to outside: s.
and such »ork as wa-j found to do was done by the
nsw m»\. This was very little. Neither
teamsters nor sere'.vmen have yet
been Secured, and not a bale of
cotton war moved during the day except from the
hold of th ■ steamship Serra, whose crew was en
gaged in putting the cotton lately stored on the
pier back on the wharf, in order to ascertain the
damage by the recent fire. Ships partly loaded
lay at the wharves just as they were left when the
screwme. cefessd work on Wednesday
night. In fact, there was no movement
of cotton whatever, except inside presses
This evening forty of the Mobile men returned
home, their passage being paid by the cotton-
handlers. Those who remained were locked up for
the night In the Union Press. Many other deser-
ions from' the new force occurred, aud the strikers
are jubilant over the outcome of the day. Many
among tl>e employers are corresponding-
ly depressed, although there is no
disposition on either side to give way.
New dsvtiopments in the fight are expected to-
day, when a steamboat will arrive with 1500 bales.
It will then be seen what the 'longshoremen will
do, ai.d if new labor can be depended on for that
character ai work.
Atam.-etmg of the Board of Health to-night.
Dr. Jones called attention to the excellent health
of the city. A report was submitted declaring
against the discretionary power of the physician
at quarantine to admit acclimated persons from
infected ports, and vesting that privilege in the

was taken. It was also decided to proceed lege 11 r

In accordance with the tbove order the auditor's

moved to-day from this place to St. Louis. About
sixteen clerks wept with the office. There is gen-

many think it is in open violation of the .contract
between the original company and the city of
Marshall.
A serious accident occurred in the hardware

Indian Raid—Weather—Circus.
[Special Telegram to The Newsl
Fort Davis, September 1—Yesterday morning a
party of Indians, number and tribe unknown,
made a raid on Becswith's ranch, at
Pena, Colorado, fifty miles southeast of
this place, running quite a number
of horses be'onging to Beck wit'a an I other parties,
the trail going north from Pena, Col., day before
j-esterday. A party of Indians robbed the
sheep camp of Lawrence Haley, situated
ten miles east of here yesterday
evening. Haley, his Mexican herders and some 200
head of sheep were killed by a ban I of Indians,
the party driving off the balance of tho
flock, consisting of 1200 head, the
trail going north. The prevailing
impression is that there are several bands raiding
at the same time. Troops, rangers and citizens
are in pursuit of them.
The weather is very warm. There were heavy
rains the latter part of August, benefiting vegeta-
tion There are more fresh vegetables on the mar-
ket than can be consumed here.

It is assorted by tho Inter Ocdan that no mem-

day following the shooting, except Secretary
Blaine, and he only on the occasion of going in to
secure the President's signature to an extradition
document. It further states that "the President
asked him to turn down the sheets and see how he
had been reduced. This the Secretary did. He is
quoted as having said that the President reminded
him of au Andersonviile prisoner. He became
convinced then he could not recover, and is of tho
same opinion still."
The Boston Post, now in its one hundred and
first volume, and as respectable as it is old, refers
to the resolution of the Bucks county (Pa.) democ-
racy, recommending that attempts at presidential
assassination be made treason, punishable with
death, and pertinently a-lc:: "Why so? Who is
the President of the United States? Is he not the
chosen servant of the people? Why is his life any
more sacred than John Smith's or David Jones's?'
The Post might have asked another question: " Is
the life of a President, a John-Smith or a David
Jones any more sacred to-day than when the
fathers framed the constitution and defined trea-
son?"
The House of Lords is the richest legislative bod}'

whole extent of territory in the two islands is about
77,812,905 acres. Two thousand one hundred and
fourteen subjects of Queen Victoria claim 38.028,244
for their private use, while the remaining 35,084,790
acres are supposed to be owned among the other
35,000.000 of the population, being about one acre
per capita. The lands held by the 2114 subjects
eturn a revenue of $150,000,030, of which the
crown gets 2 cents per acre. Is there any wonder
that Ireland complains?

The North German Gazette says: Dr. Von
Schtazer was able, while temporaiiy in Rome

by their relative positions. Willi a view
to further pursuing the path opened
towards an understanding Dr. Von
Schlazer has returned to Rome to confi-

negotiations will serve as the basis for ulterior de-

The Ail-Cotton Policy.
The Atlanta Constitution, having, with
other Southern journals, published many ar-
ticles for years past intended to argue tho
farmers into a policy of diversified cropping,
sees little success in its endeavors, and be-
comes sarcastic. Referring to a suggestion of
the New York Herald, that provisions and
plantation supplies can be bought more cheap-
ly with the profits of a cotton crop
than they can bo raised in the South, the
Georgia journal says:
This is not improbable—at any rate it is not im-
probable that the Southern farmers think so, for
' hey have been pursuing iliat plan ever since the
war. and they aie still pur uing It. How success-
ful they will be this year, when every indication
poiu s to short crop - in the West and Northwest,
with a steady rise in the price of provisions, re-
mains to be seen. We desire to predict, however,
that whatever the result, ihe farmers will continue
to plant cottou and depend upon the West, for
their supplies. This programme seems to be one
of the necessities of cotton-planting. It has deep-
ene 1 and widened into a custom, and it will finally
come to be accouuted one of the results of heredity.
-Inch is expected from the system of small farms
which lias been developing in the South
since the war, but it is in order to
say that no farm is small enough to ex-
clude cotton-rai ing for the purpose of buying
provi-ions. The Herald says that in 189J, a crop
o 10,000.000 bales will be marketed, w orth about
?r>00.000,000 raw. and $l,iX)0,OGO,009 manufactured.
We should lie glad to s-e the day hastened, for
surely |10,000,000 bales will be sufficient to pay foe
the provisions w liich our farmers buy in th a West.

Executive Business Discussed.
Washington, September 1.—Now that the Presi-
dent's eventual convalescence seems as-ured, the
subject of executive business is aoain being dis-
cussed, and ill connection with it the probability
and feasibility of General Arthur being called
upon to act as president until Pre ider.t
Garfield <-uf3cieDtly recovers to warrant his re
sumption of executive duty. The fact can uot be
well overlooked that in every department of the
government there are matters in statu quo thai
requi: e the attention of the Chief Executive. How
long they can remain ■ o without positive detriment
to the public interests is a que-tion that must be
soon met. The constitution of the United States,
Arliele II, Section 1, says: " In case or the re-
moval of the President from ofiiee, or of liis death,
resignation or inability to discharge the power
and duties of the said office, tho same shall devolve
on the Vice-President."
Although it is positively known that no meeting
of the cabinet has been held or called to discuss
this subject, yet it is acknowledged by cabinet offi-
cers that several Informal exchanges of opinion
have been indulged In and it has been found that
grave differences exist as to the wi-dom
of such steps, not the least consideration
being the possible effect upon General
Garfield in his weak and perhaps pre-
carious -oat--. If, as it must lr cssarily
be, the matter is called to his attention, it is we 1
known that even now, notwithstanding the as-
surance of his physicians and friends, the public
business is in no way suffering through his con-
tinued disability, he nevertheless thinks much
n; oa ilie subject, no better evidence being needed
lhau the fact ' bat during liis recent delirium
his incoherent utterances were constantly and en-
tirely in relation to public matters, and it is feared
that his recovery might be seriously re aided by
he knowledge that it was deemed necessary for
another to perform his c< nstiturioual dutits. w ith
he possibility of a general policy in the adminis-
tration at variance win his views and wishes. It
is afe to say that this step will not be adv.sed by
the cabinet at present.
Apologetic, Historical and Critical.
Executive Mansion, September 1.—Public con-
fidence in the permanent character of the Presi-
de- t's recent improvement was much shakeu this
morning by the unfortunate woi ding of the first
official bulletin of the day. In referring to the
slight febrile rise which took place last even-
ing—a rise which if it had not been
officially commt n.ed on, would probably have
passed unnoticed—trie surge ins in their bulletin
said: "This condition was onaccompauled
by rigors or sweating." The use of
the much-dreaded technical term,, "rigors,"
or the surgical equivalent for the more
familiar and less ominous word, "chills," seemed
to cause everywhere a vague feeling of apprehen-
sion, anl from the fact that rigors were
mentioned at all. the inference was generally
draw n, that rigors must have been expected in con-
junction with last night's fever, or at least that
there were foreshadow ings of rigors this morning,
and tlia bu let ill was intended to prepaie the puo-
lic f r them. Why. it was argued, should
they have said that the fever was
not accompanied by rigors, unless tliey
had expected, or had some reason to expect, that
it would be so accompanied? The explanation
given by the surgeons to-day, of the Word ing of the
bulletin, and the reasons assign, d for
reference to rigors, are briefly as fol-
lows: Once or twice in the historv o
this casei: has happened that after a good day,
a day in which a febrile rise occurred, fever, ac-
companied or speedily followed by rigors, came on
late in the evening as a first warning of an unfa-
vorable change. Tne President yesterday had an
unusually good day. Until af er the appearance ot
the evening bulletin there was no appreciable rise
in temperature and no reason to suppose that there
would be any. Later in the evening, however,
fever came on unexpectedly. The febrile rise was
not very great, nor did it excite any
apprehensions in the minds of the surgeors..
but it occurred at a rather unusual time and Dr,
Woodward, remembering that th - fever, when it
came on at this hour in the even.ng. Had cnce or-
twice been accompanied bj- rigors and followed by
the development of new complications, thought tt
would allav apprehension and show that
no evil consequences were to be feared from thi-
particular febrile rise, if it were stated in the bul-
letin that no rigors nor sweating accompanied
it. and especial attention was theref re
called officially to the fact tnat these alarming
symptoms were absent. The good intentions or
the surgeons however were defea ed by toe form
of expres-ion given to them, and instead of al ay-
i:i_' apprehension the well-meant bulletin excited
it." Noiwitli-tanding the febrile rise, howev.-r, the
patient had a faitly good night and his
coiulitirn this morn ng was at .'east as fav rab e
as it wa. yesterday morning. The range of puis e
was rather hiaher throughout the day than yester-
day, but until after 4 p. m. there was no appear-
ance of feve . and his general condition showed a
turther si.gat improvement.
In an interview with a reporter of the Associated
Press this evening Dr. Bliss g-tvo the tollowiug de-
tails with regard to symptoms and treatment of
the patient to-day. and they maybe taken as a
compr ehensive statement of the present aspect of
the case:
Q,—What is your judgment to niglif. doctor, with
regard to the progress made by the President since
morning?
A.—The President has had a very excellent day.
j The range of his pulse has been rather higher ti.au
yesterday, but not high enough to canse uneasi-
ness, and his general condition has, I think, slight
ly improved. He continues to take his nourish-
ment well, and his whole expression and appear-
ance are better than yesterday.
Q.—What about the glandular swelling?
A.—There is more improvement, perhaps, in
the gland than in anything else. The swelling has
decreased very much in size, and the gland is fast
assuming its natural appearance aud dimensions.
There is hardly any distortion now in the face.
Blaine's Evening Dispatch.
Washington, September 1—Executive Mansion—
9:30 p. in.—Se -re ary Blaine sent the following:
To Lowell, Minister, "London: The President con-
tinues to do well in his eating and digestion, and
the swollen gland ste idily improves, but in tiie past
2! hours he has made no substantial pr. gress iu
His general condition. In the judgment o: liis
physicians, however, he still holds the ground
gained on Sunday and Monday last. His pulse
and temperature 'to-day have shown a marked in
crease over the record of yesterday.
The weathi r has been exceedingly warm and sul
try. a.id this may account partly for the adverse
changes noted even in September. In Washington
such an oppressive day as this has been iarare.

graphical and climatological point of view,
but also in view of the interest which it has
for the present population of America ia
the sense of their development, well-
being and civilization. Whether it enft

tions, whether from ti.e arclioeological inves-
tigations which have taken place in our
day in the island of Cuba; and from the gen-
eral types of some of the idols found therein,
it may be inferred that these idols must have
belonged to other inil genous Cubans than
those which Columbus found on the island.

The Ramie Plant.
The ramie, ramoli, rhea, China grass, or wild
hemp—it is generally known by the last
named term in this 'country, where it is in-
digenous—is assuming much prospective im-
portance; mention has already been made of
it as used in producing what is called ''cosmos
ool." It belongs to the nettle family, but is
stingless. Its stems grow straight and in
bunches, filled with pith and surrounded by a
fibres mantle covered by a thick red skin, the
fibres themselves bound together by a resinous
substance. It is a perennial p'aiit, not an-
nual, lite flax aud hemp; age increases
its strength - and fertility, and it resists
drouth and wet, though injured by frost ex-
cept in the roots. In France it attains a height
of two to two and half metres, aud in its East-
ern home twice that. It can be propagated
from either seeds or cuttip.gs. The leaves
when dried make the tough Chinese paper so
well known, and the green ones are good for
fodder for cattle. Except its luxuriant growth
requires manuring, its cultivation is most sim-
ple ; hoeing and digging are needed only the
first year, for the plant itself there-
after grows so luxuriautly as to smother
all weeds. It is estimated to yield a crop
worth £2(50 to per hectare. The 4000 or 5000
kilos of leaves are reckoned to pay for cultiva-
tion, besides 1500 tp 2200 kilos of liber, from
which K00 to 1500 kilos of white hackled linen
can be spun. English and Belgian makers
now buy ramie from China at 85 cents a kilo,
selling it, titer hackling, bleaching and spin-
ning, at Si 40 to SI 80. The tenacity of fiber
is to that ot flax as 125 to SO. The Chinese
make the coarsest nets from it and fabrics re-
sembling the finest batiste. The removal
of the glutinous substance incasing
the fiber is the most difficult pro-
cess, but for that and the separation
from the woody tissue mechanical means are
now employed with growing success. Culture
of the plant is progressing in Southern France,
and the highest expectations are entertained
concerning it. In India, in 1S70, the govern-
ment recognized its value in offering a prize of
£5000 for the best machine for preparing the
fiber; oniv one machine was ottered, and it
proved imperfect, but the offer lias been kept
opt-.n. How far this curiou-s plant is suited for
cultivation in this country does not yet ap-
pear, and it seems to have attracted, thus far,
comparatively little attention from Ameri-
cans. .
The Negro as a Farmer.
In a recent interview published iu a Repub-
lican newspaper at St. Louis. Mr. J. Milton
Turner, late minister from the United States
to Liberia, gave an account of his observations
during an extended tour through the South-
ern States, which was made for the express
purpose of ascertaining the true condition of
the co.ored people. Many of the people are
engaged in farming and cotton-growing, and
many of them own their own places, an am-
bition to become a lauded proprietor-is gen-
eral among the negroes. Iu the matter of
dealing with them, either as mechanics,
farmers, or tradesmen, I noticed less prejudice
upon the part of the whites than is shown here
in St. Louis. The negro is doing as well as
could be expected. His condition, uot his
color, is against him. He should be given ac-
cess to industrial schools, that his hand may
be educated as well as his brain. He stands
more in need of reading, writing and arith-
metic than Latin ' and Greek. Th*
South is the place for the negro.
He can there engage in agriculture and be
encouraged in it by the white people.
Pleas Harper, who has just paid *i>2.000 for
'21 000 acres of land lying on Broad river, in
Oglethorpe county. The white man who sold
him the land says of Harper: " There is not a
better business man in Ogelthorpe county than
this negro. He can tell you any day to a cent
how he stands with the world, and as a farmer
I never saw a better. He is economical, his
family all work, and he can get more out of a
hand than any one I ever saw. Pleas, too, is
not an all-cotton farmer. He has been making
from 100 to 150 hales of cotton a year on rented
land, besides growing enough supplies to rua
his place. In fact, his cotton crop ia nearly
«Ucle
dear money."
