Attkntioit Is called by the Coal
Trade Journal, In an elaborate article,
to the fact than the value of water as
an aid to blasting, when used In con
nection with explosives, is rapidly be
. coming recognized In this country, as
well as In the larger mines and quarries
o'f Europe. Among the favorable points
pertaining to this process, Kpeclal
mention Is made of the fact that Ihe
powder, In exploding, bursts the tube
containing the water, and careful esti
mates showing with Increased power
or explosive violence;thls is because tho
rendcilng foice Is extended through the
water, In accordance with certain well
known principles of hydrostatics, over
the enlarged Interior area of the bore
hole, due to the space occupied by the
water tube. A much larger quantity of
the material lo be mined or quarried Is
thus broutsht drown or loosened with a
snullcr quantity of tlio explosive used.
..Again, the heat given off by tho bum
Jag of tho powder and surrounding gases
converts alargcr proportion of the water
into steam, tho elastic force of which
assists In the operation ot blasting, and
the steam and remaining WHlrtnWtlipr
extinguish the Maine and flash of the
powder.

Broadbrim's New Yori Letter.
Special to tho Caihjox Advocate.
It Is a gratification to know if we arc
growing lax In our morals, wo arc Im
proving our manners; and the gentle
man who wrote American notes about
forty years ago would have to travel
some distance on the American conti
nent to find his originals to-day. We
have In Now York an aristocratic col
ored society, which In all of Its appoint
ments and general tone, Is quite up to
the best style of Fifth Avenue or Mur
ray Hill not that I mean to convey tho
Idea that they can shako double eagles
with the Goulds, tho Vnnderbilts, the
Astors and Goelcts, but they have mon
ey enough for all practical purposcs,and
in general good behavior they are bank
reproach. It is too much tlio practice
of our scribes to represent every colored
ball 3 an assemblage of darkies with
whitewash brushes In their hands and
razors In their boots. If any such Im
pression is shared by the general public,
It certainly would have been dissipated
if they could have attended the second
annual ball of "TheKuscbudsof Peace,"
Just tbiukof It what rv pretty name?
could anything bo more delightful and
suggestive "The Rosebuds of Peace."
"Surely do wort' do move." Tho only
Incongruity in this beautiful title was
the startling fact, that most of the buds
of peace, were full blown roses, turning
the scale at 2u still thero were many
of them that might yet have hung sonic
time upon the bush, and still be worth
tho picking, Rut the ball of the Rose
buds of Peace was an immense success,
socially, musically and 'financially; the
sum of two dollars and seventy-five
cents being left after all the expenses
were paid not bad that for the Rose
buds of Peace, when you consider that
them are plenty of concerns here, which
started with hundreds of thousands of
dollars, and wound up without a cent.
Theo Rosebuds are evidently not only
men of esthetic tastes, but better and
honester financiers than either Ward or
Fish. They had a good time Yictoiia
on her throne could not have received
more delicate attention than the female
Rosebuds received at tho hands of their
male friends. Tho next sensation In
colored society Is tho first reception of
"Tho Silver Snow Flake Coterie." Fif
teen hundred invitations arc out, and
the excitement among tailors, mantua
makers, hairdressers, llorists, is at fever
heat. It is currently reported that the
P.osebuds and Silver Snow Flakes nro
not tho wannest friends, and if moncv
and style can do it, you will never hear
of tho Rosebuds after the Silver Flake
ball. Let us have peace.
If you want to see the two sides of an
actor's life follow me to Union Square.
About the Morton House Is where they

regularly In tho Metropolitan theatres,

very comfortably; most of them, if they
feel so Inclined, being able to lay by
something for a rainy day. Not many
of them do however. If they receive
$150 per week their expenses are gener
ally $200. Not only the regular com
panies are recruited here, but all of the
barn-storming companies that atlllct the
country find hero their victims. It may
not be generally known In this free anil
enlightened republic, but the dramatic
profession Is the most arMoeratlc of any

One day whllo wandering about

that that conscientious artist Secretary

is a guarantee that nothing not worthy

From our Special Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 28, '85.
The first public announcement in
Washington of the death of Mr. Hen
dricks was by bulletins displayed In
front of tho telegragh offices. These
were posted a few minutes after the oc
currence, and the streets quickly began
to fill up with persons In quest of t!:?
news. All that could be learned from
tho bulletins was that Ylce President
Hendricks had died suddenly, and In the
absence of anything moro definite a
great many were Inclined to believe that
the story was a hoax. The hotel lobbies
were quickly deserted as tho news of
tho Vice President's death spread, and
the crowds which usually congregate
there loamed up and down the streets
in searcli of details. Probably the
largest crowds were along Newspaper
Row and in the vicinity of tlio Western
Union and B. and O. telegraph offices.
Nothing else was talked about, and the
people going to the theatres helped to
swell the throng about the news centres.
The death of the Vice President leaves
tho country In the same condition that
It was the first month of Mr. Arthur's
presidency. Ho had left the Senate
without allowing it to name a pro
tempore presiding officer, and there
was no Speaker of the House. At
present, If tlio President should die be
tween now and tho assembling of Con
gress, the United States would be with
out a President and any citizen would
have tho right to proclaim himself
President pending action by the Legis
lature of tills country. Tho only thing
that could bo legally done would be for
the Secretary of State to proclaim a
general election and until this could bo
carried out the wheels of government
would bo brought to a standstill.
Considerable pressure was brought to
bear upon the President yesterday to
persuade him not to leavo the city to at
tend the Vice President's funeral. Col.
Lamont stated last night, however, that
tho President had decided to go. Man
ager J. G. I'anyborn, of tho II. and O.,
was In the city yesterday, and tendered
to the President the courtesy of a special
train over the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, and the officials of the Pennsyl
vania road also plated a train at the
President's disposal. It is likely he
will go by the latter loute. He will be
attended by his Cabinet,

Democrats, 140 as Republicans, one

"Tobacco is an Indian weed.
And 't was the deUl sowed the weed."
That's tho way tlio old-tlino rhyme
classifies and gives tho origin of tlio to
bacco plant. The devil certainly has a
great deal to answer for, but I am' ac
quainted with a great many people who
wouldn't bo so very angry at his satanic
majesty even if they knew that ho really
did tlio sowing teferrcd to, for they not
only have a hankering after the weed
itself as n means of solace or comfort,
but they manago to get plethoric pocket-
books outof its cultivation, manufacture
and sale.
Memory is weighed down w ith very
vivid recollections of first experience In
tho tobacco business. Many men who
once were boys have similar recollec
tions. It doesn't take n largo quantity
of the manufactured weed, you know.to
mako a lasting Impression, unless you
arc so fortunate as to bo coppcr-llncd
My early days were spent on a pretty
little farn. in Wayne county, Pcnnsyl
vania. I well remember when tho
fanners all concluded that they would
try their hands at raising tobacco. The
experiment was also tried on our farm,
The plants grew, like Mr. Finney's cele
brated turnip, which
"grow behind the burn.
And It crew, mid It grew,
And It lie cr did any harm."
When lrost came they were still growing
thick, heavy, soggy, gummy leaves,
greener than cabbages. Theplanlswerc
cut, but nobody know what to do with
tho wonderful product. It was finally
hung up and dricd.llkcso many bundles
of hcibs; but itdldu't count for very
much, as tho tobacco manufacturers
wouldn't buy It at any price. 1 knew
one farmer who took his entire crop to
a manufacturer who made it up In cigars
for him. That farmer- and his sons
lived high that winter. They smoked
cigars every day, and tradition says that
they sometimes got up In the middle of
tho night to enjoy a quiet emokc. And
they all felt happy. The farmer said, I
remember, that tho only trouble with
them was that they were "jest a lectio
migni strong, anu nicy would snap and
go olT like little guns all tho time."
Tobacco farming was soon abandoned
in tliat part of tno Jveystono State.
Without a doubt North Carolina will
soon take the lead among thu tobacco
growing States. Much of tho soil, es
pecially in the middle section of tho
btate, seems peculiarly adapted to to
bacco culture. Tobacco Is a cash crop,
and it pays the farmer bitter than al
most anything elso ho can raise. All
he has to do is to cure it properly, un
derstand how to separate the different
srades, and he has no trouble In flr.din
a ready market, ns the cities are full of
wareiiouses lorruo saieor tne wesu, ami
new ones nre being mint m almost every
smart little village in the tobacco belt.
Factories f or the manufacture of tobacco
heep paco with tho fanners' efforts and
tne incrcaso of warehouses.
The most particular part of tho tobac
co culture is tho curing process. Of
course moro or less caro is required in
mailing tliepiant-ucd, selecting nnd pre
paring tlio soil for tho young lilants.des-
troying the wonns that feed on the
growing leaves, topping, cultivating.and
tho other mlnutla incident to the grow
in" cron. But after a fine rron has hppn
grown ft Is no uncommon thine for no
vices to have it all spoiled by improper
tilling, j.-iuu-i ui ui is liiu jtruLi'ss most
in use down here, and a few words
about the barns In which the tobacco is
cured, and the process of curing may
not be nut of place.
Tobacco barns are built mainly of
logs, careiuny cmnKcd, and "pointed"
with mud or clay. They aro 17 i-2x
17 1-2 feel square, with four firing tiers,
Holding about four Hundred and iifty
sticks. Tlicso sticks are 4 1-2 feet I0112.
and will hold seven medium sized plants
each, which are placed on them in tlio
neiu nun taicen by tne wagonload to the
barn. The furnace is on the eround.
and Is fired and fed from the outside of
the building. The flues aro made of
wrought iron and are very cheap, and
but little more trouble Is cxneilenccd hi
putting up a lot of flues than is usually
expeneueeu in selling up a stovo and
joining the pipe.
Supposing that you have a barn with
furnace and flues all correct, and It is
filled with tobacco. Then "comes the
tug of war," Thccurcr, like tho Juror.
who is "tho judge of tlio law ond the
evidence," must be the judgo of the
curing process. No accurate nile can
be laid down. The thermometer must
be watched constantly. Tlio heat is
started at from IK) to 100 degrees, and
kept thero for 30 or 80 hours. Only
irusiy waicuers must ue Kepi on guard.
The leaves then beain to yellow, and
the heat must be increased t degrees
every two hours until the temperature
of 115 degrees is reached. Small aper
tures must then be mado near the bot
tom of the barn so that tho tobacco can
have air. Continue to Increase the heat
0 decrees every two hours until tho tem
perature of 1!!5 degrees is reached, after
wincu lor twcivo Hours it must be kept
at that hclcht. The heat must then be
raised 0 degrees every hour and a half
until it readies 180 degrees. The to
bacco will then bo cured, and ready to

in bulk again, when it la ready for the
warehouse.
That it pays to fann tobacco is proved
by tho fact that many towns have been
bunt in tno bouth where this Industry
was the sole impetus. Farmers have
become wealthy by carefully cultivating
a few acres. In my second letter from
this one I shall give some figures on to-
