made by the oommittee, and thought

ing the oommittee to moke the report.
Mr. Woffobd, of Bartow, thought the

The November reports of thu Depart
ment of Agrioultarc, relative to tho oou
dition and yield of the cotton crop, indi
cates a larger produot than was expected
in October, and promisee to fully make
good the moderate expectations of July
and August. There have been no killing
frosts up to the date of those reports. In
the rich and well cultivated soils in the
lower tier of States, the plants are os
green as they ever grow in summer. In
somo places the top crop was maturing,
though complaints of the immaturity or
loss of the later growth ate quite general
in the latitude of Middle Georgia. The
squares formed between August 25th and
September 25th, under favorable airoum-
anoee, promises to make good oottou.
The principal causes of tho reduotion
of yield are: Iu Texas, drouth; in Lou
isiana, drouth, insects and black rot; in
Mississippi, wet weather, in the spring,
drouth in summer, and, in isolated sec
tions, the oaterpillar or boll worm; in
Florida, driving winds and floods, which
occasioned nearly the total destruction of
considerable areas. Drouths have wrought
more or lees injury in Alabama, Georgia
and South Carolina.
The yield per sore, as indicated by
county estimates, is largest in Arkansas,
decreasing in the following order: Texas.
Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, North
Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, South Caro-
linau and Florida. The more northern
belt of the cotton States shows the least
deviation Isom the neual average.
In the tabulation for November esti
mates, for each county, of the total pro
duct of the year, are expressed as per
oentoges of the actual crop of last year.
These averages, adjusted with regard to
the relative production of the counties
reported, give tho following result for
each State: North Carolina, 08; Georgia,
67; Florida, 58; Alabama, 73; Missis
sippi, 72; Louisiana, 05; Texas, 68; Ar
kansas, 85, and Tennursee, 90. A few
counties in Virginia, Kentucky and Mis
souri, make reports ol muck the same
tenor as the returns from North Carolina
and Tennessee.

itself until later in the day, when,
as usual, young Mr. Stanley dropped in,
leaving his hat in the hall, bat taking bis
walking-oane and quid along with him to
the parlor.
As he was onh of those universal callers
that are only too happy to bo tolerated
ty ask ed for the Misses
anywhere, he olway
Hall. They wore accordingly all there to
entertain him, to say nothing of enter
taining themselves.
Mr. Stanley bwitched his dainty cane,
and rem-trked upon the "very foine
weather,"and ran through liii programme
of small talk, until his month began
to bo troublesome. He sauntered toward
the corner where the spittoon bad been
kept, but in its absence, bo coaid not
quite making up his mind to soil the
elegant hearth-rug, or to poison himself
by swallowing wlmt was in his month, so
ho wisely withdrew.
The girls indulged in a little titter of
satisfaotioh. Presently, Mr. Hpruco was
heard inquiring for Miss Ida.
Evidently ho regarded himself with re
spect, whatever might be the estimation
in which he was held by bis acquaintan-
~ the parlor with the
Alico was, by far, the prettiest of tho

three daughters, and she knew her no
tlcc
quite ns well ns did tho young goutlcman
who rode so many miles to call on the
Halls. She was as independent ns she
tvas beautiful; but n* her ideas were
usually very correct ones, tbe indepen
dence passed for aprit, nnd her sharp
sayings for witticisms.
As sbo waved tha light duster hither
and thither, she kept up a flymg conver
sation with her sisters, ono of whom was
leaning upon tlie window outside, and
tho other gathering flowers for the vases.
Suddenly, Alico sent something spin
ning out through tho opon window on to
the grass plat, and her pretty lips curlod
into an expresaion of tho most intouso
disgust.
hen tho two girls hurst into the mer
riest laughter.
‘Thore it goes again," criod Grace.
What goes?" asked Ida, looking up
from her Uowcre.
“That nliominable spittoon. Alico nev
er will rest until sho makes brick dust of
it” . . .....
"Well, such a thing ha* no nght to be
in anybody's parlor, and I cannot think
wlmt mamma insists on keeping it here
for," said Alice, going to thu window and
peaking her features up iu tho most com
ical way.
"Why, for the accommodation of your
young gentlemen," the mother said—
whose quick eye had detected tho condi
tion of her household goods.
"What need lisa a young gentleman of
spittoon, more than n young lady, 1
should like to know?” cried Alice.
Young ladies are not supposed to
chew, my dear."
“No, neither are young gentlemen. No
body but a rowdy will think of entering
a house with a quid in his month."
“Aren’t you a little fast, Alice?"
Groce asked, os the color mounted toiler
cheeks. “I can think of several of onr
acquaintances that have occasion for the
nso of that disoardcd’article, who are very
agreeable rowdies.”
"Well, that is exactly tho term to ap
ply to them. They are agreeable row
dies; but I repest, a well-bred peraon will
never enter a parlor, especially, with any
thing in hia mouth that will make him a
nuisance; and any one ia a nuisance that
keejis hawking and npitting. It's a filthy
habit; and if young men cannot eall here
and dejiort themselves as gentlemen
should, they may get along with their
qaidsthe licat way they eon, for I
have that disgustiug object in this room
another day!"
oes. He walked into
air of one who feels that lie is conferring
a favor by his attentions.
Ida fluttered toward him much os a
moth drawns near an astral lamp, and
finally the oonple settled upon tbe sofa,
and the conversation became general.
After a little, Mr. Spruoe became un
easy, and bis utterance thick. He, too,
sauntered to tho corner, and made a little
circuit of observation aronnd tbe room;
then he went to tbe door, and mode a
spittoon of all creation.
This process was continued until a sense
of tho ludicrous begun to grow painful,
and Mr. Spruce, somehow, beoame con
scious that be was being laughed at by
tbe girl he adored.
He then gravely took the quid from
Mi mouth, and deposited it in his
pocket for sate keeping, until he retired.
Aa he went out of tho gate, the girls saw
him replace the identical quid in his
mouth again—oud such a shout as went
up at jioor Ida's expense?
Ida was never at home to Mr. Spruoo
after that. There was an economy and
untidiness in that display that quite un-
cliarmed her, and she generally olosed al
lusions to him with the ejaculation, "The
filthy creatarel"
Ouo anil anothor coma in, nnd conver
sation was lively, whou Mr. Herman was
announced.
It was now Graco's turn to be embar
rassed, and, aa the partiea were known to
bo intimate, they were Boon chatting in
the b:tv window in tho cosiest manner
possible.
Mr. Herman was too much of a gen
tleman to make nso of a quid. He sim
ply placed a bit of tobaooo in his month,
and used it as one does a globule.
So he talked nnd nibbled, and nibbled
and talked, until, in n moment of forget
fulness, bo ejected the accumulating sali
va through the opon window.
A fresh breeze was stoaliug from the
river just then, and boro it bnck directly
upon Grace.
At that moment her eyes flashed toward
Alice, who was regarding her sister with
quizzical satisfaction.
Mr. Herman was nover aware of what
happoned. Ho only know that ho nover
could have a cosy chat with Grace after
that interview. Ho is trying to solve tho
problem of his disappointmon t to tfiis day,
and has nibbled innumerable pounds of
tobacco in the vain attempt to understand
why Grace should have cut such a nice
young man.
Tho person who hod been seen to ride
by the house so often, at laat found op
portunity to enter. He was quiet, re
spectful, and never at a loss for cultivated
topics of conversation. His breath, when
he spoke, did not taint the atmosphorc.
It was a pleasure to look at the whole-
somo mouth and polished teeth wliich
gave utterance to liis idcaa; and there
was a straight-forward, manly, honest
look about tho wholo face, as if the man’s
conscience was dean, too.
There was no noedof u spittoon for this
yotiug gentleman's entertainment.

with them when they went to aall upon

On one occasion the miming article
was alludod to, and an expression of
public opinion culled for.
"Well, what is a fellow to do, who uses
the weed as I do, when he get* into s
foine parlor, like this ! ” asked Mr. Snip,
patting his thumbs into his rest jxickets,
and leering toward Mina Alice, as he
shifted his quid from one cheek to the
other.
He would bo likely to feel like a pig

answer.
"But supjiose a gentleman comes in
here"—
“Excuse me for interrupting you, but
allow me to aaf, Mr. Snip, that no gon-
tleman ever bos or ever will coma into
this jwrlor with tobaooo in his mouth."
Mr. Snip subsided,
Mrs. Hall said, when she reflected
upon the subject, that " if aeoommoda-
tious were not made for the indulgence
of bad manners in private parlors, she
was certain gentlemen would be men
careful and thoughtful about tbeir hobni;
and that, for her part, she never again
would tempt young men to enter her
parlors with quids, by keeping there any
thing that served as a spittoon."

gloves in the hall, “ but zounds! don't
