Extracts from the Financial Chronicle.
Review of the Cotton Market.
New York, October 10.
Financial affairs the present week,
although steadily gaining, have not
shown any rapid or marked improve
ment, consequently commercial inter
ests have continued without much ap
parent life,- the difficulties in the way
of the movement of merchandise being
aggravated by this delayed recovery in
monetary circles.
Cotton has shared in the general stag
nation, showing, however, but slight
fluctuations, though the strength and
characters of the demand has been va
riable." Monday there was a good in
quiry for export, hut little else was done.
Tuesday was dull. Wednesday and
Thursday there was more doing for ex-
portj with a fair business for consump
tion. ! To-day shippers were embar
rassed by the lower rates for gold and
exchange, while spinners purchased
sparingly, and as a result prices fell
off 4b.
Offerings during the week have been
limited; and Liverpool has been active
and higher, while the receipts have
averged scarcely more than half as
large as last year ; these facts have sup
ported the market, notwithstanding the
actual business done lias been so small.
For future delivery, until to-day, in-
uuu>.a ouciigtn lias aeveiupea rur me
early months, with a good degree of
activity, while the later months have
varied but little, not showing any con
siderable activity.
In fact, there has been little disposi
tion to speculate upon the general re
sult of the crop. But for this and the
next two months there has been a
strong inclination to secure supplies,
and we are under the impression that
most of the purchases for October,
November and December have been
by parties who will want the cotton.
To-day the market was dull and
weak, tlie whole turn of affairs being
toward lower prices, and after ’change
there was a further decline, the latest
prices after ’change being 15 16-32 for
October; 17 5-16 for December; 17J
for January; 17 6-19 for February, and
17 27-32 for March, with a large busi
ness doing, u
The total sales for forward delivery
for the week are 50,500 bales, including
free on board. For immediate de
livery the total sales foot up this week
9643 bales, including 4247 for export;
5318 for consumption; 78 for specula
tion, and in transit. Of the above
594 bales were to arrive.
We have received complaints the past
week from various portions of the South
with regard to planters holding back
their cotton for higher prices. That
there is not at present a free movement
of the crop is evident, but according to
oufideUs, as we stated last Friday, this
is the natural result of the financial dis
turbance and of the yellow fever.
The panic lias for a moment crippled
the whole South, as it previously had
the North, and everywhere checked the
free flow of merchandise; while the yel
low fever is also, as every one knows,
having a very considerable influence in
the same direction.
Still, .03 there are some who imagine
that the winter months will he belter
than the present for marketing cotton,
and are advising planters to hold on,
there are one or two considerations
worthy of their notice.
1. Just in proportion as the natural
movement of cotton is held in check
now, will it be unnaturally increased
when the obstacles which hold it back
a/e removed. This is self-evident, for if
you temporarily dam up the stream
you only increase the subsequent
flood.
November and December are likely to
Bee these obstacles removed, and if at
same time the Western rivers should
rise ihe movement of cotton in those
months would be naturally large. The
result of large receipts is always a be
lief inthe largest estimate of the crop,
and this is followed by lower prices both
here and in Europe, whether the event
justifies it or not.
Remember, also, that this year the.
comparison will be with last year, when
during those months, for special reasons,
the receipts did not bear the ordinary
proportion' to the total yield.
2. Then again, later on, our supply
will have to contend with that which is
to come from other countries, and more
especially from India. Last year, at this
time, it will be remembered that the
India supply was entirely exhausted,
the old crop having been wholly mark
eted previous to the monsoon. This
condition is now changed, all Bombay
authorities agreeing that a very consid
erable stock remained in the interior at
the setting in of the usual rainy season.
We have not the space necessary to
make quotations on this point now, but
this is the testimony of Messrs. W.
Nicol & Co., Finlay, Muir & Co., Sir
Charles Forbes & Co., etc., and is be
yond question. On top of this, they
have now in an advanced state the
new Crop. Our weekly cable dispatch
has shown that thus far the plant has
done remarkably well, and last Frida}’,
it stated that the return of acreage
showed a considerable increase. .
Looking at the latest mail reports -
which we have received, August 29, we
find our information by cable more
than confirmed. Messrs. W. Nicol & Co.,
under that date, write: “ From all
quarters we have most favorable ac
counts, and a bumper crop is quite ex
pected, unless something unforeseen
should happen between this and when
it should come to maturit}’.”
At the date that was written the re
turn with regard to increased acreage
which we received by cable last Friday
was of course not known. A further
fact of interest to us is given by Messrs.
Finlay, Muir & Co.; in speaking of the
crop in the Berars they say “ there has
been a marked increase in area of land,
sown with American seed, the produce
of which last year had a very fine
staple.”
Putting all this together, does it not
look more than probable that Novem
ber and December India shipments
will be very considerably in excess of
last year, and after the first of January
show a further comparative increase?
3. Let us go one step further, for no
one can act intelligently without hav
ing before him all the possibilities.
Suppose the idea of the crop in the
United States which has been issued
by the Agricultural Department should
prove to be the right one—that is, that
the yield is to be something in excess
of four million bales.
We do not express the opinion that
such is to be the case, for we have not
received the necessary returns to base
an opinion upon; and besides, until
we have had a killing frost it does not
strike us that any estimate is worth
much. No one, however, after last
year’s experience can say that such a
rcoull L- not at loaot nronng the possi
bilities.
So long, then, as it is possible, in
what estimation can we hold advice
given to the planters to hoard their cot
ton at this early date ? Let the bulk of
a four million crop, or a crop that ap
proaches four millions, come on the
market at the height of a considerably
enlarged India movement, and it does
not require much of a prophet to fore
tell the result.
From the Savannah Advertiser we
clip the following:
The usual quiet and stillness of the
Sabbath morning was disturbed about
8 o’clock last Sunday by the sudden
report of a pistol in the neighborhood
of Broughton and Abercorn streets.
The curious and interested immediate
ly rushed to the spot indicated by the
noise, and it was soon ascertained that
Mr. Andrew .T. Dodge, a gentleman
well and favorably known in this city,
had shot and killed himself with a
pistol.
The report of the affair flew like
wild fire, as such things are apt to, and
in a very few minutes it had reached
the very suburbs.
The circumstances attending this
melancholy and unfortunate affair are
as follows : Mr. Dodge had been for a
long time past a martyr to that extreme
ly trying disease, asthma, and was
compelled to resign his position of
foreman of the job printing depart
ment in the Morning Ncics office last
spring, in consequence of ill health.
He afterwards visited the North in
the hope of restoring his health, but
returned to this city a short time since,
having experienced no benefit from the
change or remedies which he was in
duced to adopt Last Saturday and
Sundav mornini? un to the time of his
'eath his sufferings were severe and
acute in the extreme.
About 8 o’clock Sunday morning,
Mrs. Dodge observed her husband
standing in a room adjoining the bed
room, with a Colt’s revolver in his hand,
and fearing for his safety or perhaps
apprehensive of his design, she asked
him to put up the weapon. He replied
that lie was only fixing the pistol.
However, she afterwards repeated her
request and he refused again, remarking
that he would get through.
The wife then walked away, and in
a few minutes more heard the report of
the pistol, and turning immediately
around, saw her husband fall to the
floor. She ran to him, but he was
speechless, and died within five min
utes. The coroner was afterwards sent
for, and summoning a jury, an inquest
was held, the verdict of the jury being
that “ deceased came to his death by a
shot probably accidental, from a pistol
in his own hand.”
Mr. Andrew J. Dodge was a very
quiet, unobtrusive man, about forty-
five years of age. He came to this
city in 1867, and accepted the position
of foreman of the job department of
the Morning Neics printing establish
ment, where he evinced business capac
ity of a very high order, a man of
good sense, excellent judgment, and
familiar with all the details of his bus
iness. He was a useful man in his po
sition.
He was horn in New York in 1828,
and was a brother of Judge William
Dodge. He came South, locating in
Charleston in 1856, and entering the
service of the well known printing es
tablishment of Walker, Evans & Co.,
as foreman.
He afterward removed with them to
Columbia, and was in their employ
ment at the time of the destruction of
their establishment by Sherman’s
army, when, as above stated, he came
to Savannah. Mr. Dodge leaves a wife
and one daughter, Mrs. McDaniels, in
this city, but ho has large family con
nections in New York.
His remains were interred in Laurel
Grove Cemetery yesterday morning,
Tlie Chicago and Atlanta Railroad.
On the last day’s session of tlie con
vention of delegrates from States inter
ested in the construction of the pro
posed Chicago and South Atlantic rail
road, which met in Chicago, resolutions
were adopted setting forth the necessity
of a grand trunk railroad from Chicago
to one or more south Atlantic ports,
such branches as are necessary to
supply theplantingStates,andpledding
delegates to the convention to use their
efforts to organize and secure such
charters and such connections with
roads are as necessary to facilitate the
success of the enterprise, and endeavorto
procure along the line of the road such
subscriptions and other aid as may as
sist the enterprise and satisfy capitalists
abroad that those immediately interest
ed had full faith in the success of the
work, and of its financial profits on
investment.
After a long discussion of the various
routes proposed by Southern delegates,
it was finally agreed to leave the ques
tion to be determined by the engi
neers and surveyors to be employed,
to select the most feasible line.
Fight Between a Moose and a Tarantula.
The San Diego (Cal.) Union, after
giving the details of a battle between
a tarantula and a scorpion, in which
tlie latter was killed, says:
Three or four hours after tlie battle
the tarantula .was stirred up and found
to be as sprightly as ever, to all appear
ances having suffered no bad effects
from the stings that had been given
him by the scorpion. A sprightly little
mouse was now put into the bottle,
and as he entered the tarantula bris
tled up spitefully and commenced the
attack.
Walking toward tlie mouse quite
rapidly, he gathered himself when
within a short distance, and jumping
into the air descended ujion the hack
of his mouseship and seized him by
the back of the neck, encircling him
with his long legs.
The mouse had evidently not com
prehended the situation until now.
Over and over they rolled, with all the
advantage in favor of the tarantula.
In about two minutes the spider let
go, and both went to their corners.
After they had rested, the bottle was
tipped, and, encouraged by his success
in the first round, the tarantula again
made the attack. The mouse exhib
ited game,” and dodging the taran
tula, which tried to regain its former
bold upon the mouse’s neck, seized the
spider in his teeth just as the latter
fastened his fangs into his back.
The mouse sank his teeth into the
body of his foe, and blood spurted out
quite freely. This was more than the
tarantula had looked for, and vainly
he tried to shake the mouse off. After
he had had his bite “ out,” another rest
was taken.
During the three hours that they
were in the bottle together about twen
ty rounds were fought, in four of which
the mouse hit the tarantula through
the body... The bites of the spider did
ndt seeih to affect the mouse injurious
ly.
When the last struggle ended, the
tarantula retreated to his end of the
bottle, keeled over upon his back, and,
after a few convulsive kicks, expired,
The tarantula was overhauled after he
died, and his fangs measured a little
over a sixteenth of an inch in length.
The mouse was as lively as ever yes
terday morning, and when last seen
had succeeded in getting out of his
prison, and was sitting on end makin;
a meal of something he had foraged.
Too Much Memory Work.
A Mobile newspaper sensibly say
that the prime evil of the prevailing
method of teaching consists in the
careful cultivation of the memory to the
neglect of the thinking powers. Com
mencing with the teachers, even of the
highest grade, down to the youngest
child in the school, there is an almost
slavish adherence to the mere language
of the text books.
Teachers do not trouble themselves
to study over the lessons, to compre
hend thoroughly their full significance,
but on the contrary only too frequently
go into the class room and have to de
pend upon the hook in order to hear the
lesson. In theory this is not allowed
but in practice it is pretty general.
Such being the case, the teacher hav
ing no higher sense of responsibility
than the necessity of going through a
certain form in order to secure the
quarter’s salary, is very’ well content t<
find the scholar perfect in the mere
language of technicalities of the lesson
The sholar, finding nothing further re
quired, is only too glad to perform the
comparatively easy task of committing
so many lines orparagraphsto memory
Ifiavingt via oampnahonci^n covovult
alone, or to follow blindly rules with
out any pains to discover their scope
and value. , c
As a cfinsequence most school cliil
dren have their minds choked with
dates, facts, and the mere language of
laws and principles of which they
have no understanding whatever, ana
aside from the routine of the text
books know absolutely nothing, and
have not made their own, by mental
digestion, any appreciable portion of
the knowledge they have spent so many
hours in attaining.”
A devout clergyman sought every op
portunity to impress upon the mind of
his son the fact that God takes care of
all His creatures; that the fulling spar
row attracts His attention, and that His
loving kindness is ovet all His works.
Happening, one day, to see a crane
wading in quest of food, the good man
pointed out to his son the perfect adap
tation of the crane to get his living in
that manner.
“See,” said he, “how his legs are
farmed for wading! What a tong, slen
der bill he has! Observe how nicely
he folds his feet when putting them in
or drawing out of the water! He does
not cause the slightest ripple! He is
thus enabled so approach the fish
without giving them any notice of his
arrival.
“ My 8on,” said he, “ it is impossible
to look at that bird without recognizing
the design as well as the goodness of
God in thus providing the means of
subsistence.”
“Yes,” replied the boy, “ I think I see
the goodness of God, at least so far as
the crane is concerned; but after all,
father, don’t you think the arrangement
a little tough on thefish?”
Playing on the bells of a church
chime must be an exhilarating per
formance if the style of Professor WhL
dows, at Grace church, New York; re
cently, is a correct one. The New York
Graphic thus describes it:
“ Cold as the day was, Mr. Widdows
stripped to his undergarments, and was
bathed in peispiration. He had to
S to ana fro at the end of the long
i working the hammers ofi the
bells, sometimes throwing his whole
weight on them. His muscle and
strength of endurance were immense.”
Hardly so pleasant that as to sit in
the organ loft and gossip with the choir
belles between the musical exercises.
A Remarkable Coincidence.
Wc find the following in the Mem
phis Ledger of the 7th instant:
While the funeral of Rev. Dr. Bow
man, late lamented pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, was being con
ducted at Elmwood Cemetery, about
eleven o’clock this morning, a tremen
dous concussion was heard within the
church edifice. Clouds of dust, dense
like smoke, poured-forth from every
opening, and the alarm of fire was
promptly sounded. The unusual sound,
so rare of late, soon - brought sparse
crowds to the street comers to learn the
cause of alarm.
The engines turned out and repaired
to the neighborhood of the church,
when it was soon ascertained that a
falling ceiling, erected some years ago
for acoustic effect and the benefit of
Dr. Spellman, then pastor and in feeble
health, had broke loose from its fasten
ings and fallen bodily to the floor,., a
distance of perhaps thirty-five feet.
The effect cannot well be imagined or
indeed ascertained.
The main body of the church is cov
ered with the debris, the seats are
crushed and many of them ruined en
tirely. The organ escaped, as the ceil
ing over it did not fall. The ceiling
iv un built at a cost of S7Q00, as we are
informed—however, that may he an
overestimate. It. is fortunate that no
one was in the church, as death would
have been inevitable.
_What connection, the superstitious
will draw between the falling sods in
Dr. Bowman’s grave and the falling in
of his church at the same moment we
know not, as we are not of that class;
but it is a singular ‘coincidence, never
theless. . .... ,.

The Southern Canals.
It is stated the Senate committee on
transportation have agreed to report in
favor of three general water routes; one
Northern, one Southern, and one Mid
dle. The choice of the location of each
water route has not been determined.
The. canal propositions from the ex
treme South come up in so unsatisfac
tory a shape that the committee will
probabably confine itselftorecommend-
ing a short canal around the mouth of
the Mississippi.
The preference of the committee is
reported to be in favor of the James
river and Kanawa canal for the central
route. The Northern interests are so
conflictingthat the committee are much
perplexed how to make a choice be
tween them. Such are the reports in
circulation, but it is probable that they
embody the present drift-of the views
of the committee, and not any final de
termination. ,w .

How Chandler was Picked Up.-
The Fredericksburg Herald says:
In his harangue at the King George
Court House, last week, Chandler spoke
in exalted terms of the laborer and of
the negro, who he sought to show was
an equal, and ought not to be looked
down upon. A quiet chap in the audi
ence, who looked meek as Moses and
innocent as a dove, interrupted Chan
dler, and asked if he (Chandler) thought
a poor white laboring man was as good
as himself.
Promptly Chandler responded in the
affirmative. Quickly this wa§ followed
up by a query as to whether ^Chandler
thought a negro as good as himself.
This was a stunner, and fairly knocked
the ready Chandler off his pegs, but he
had to face the music, and responded
“No.”
The Russian emigrants have been
sadly disappointed, and in some in
stances most shamefully treated in
Dakota. They purchased land in the
neighborhood of Yankton, and they
found but shallow mould, with gravel
beneath it which broke their plows.
Water was scarce and bad, and many
died of diseases occasioned by its use.
A farm was sold to a Russian who
speaks no English, a portion of the
money was paid, and when the unfor
tunate man sometime after showed the
title to the property, his papers turned
out to be only his first citizenship pa
pers. Having the seal, the Russian
was deluded into the belief that he had
a genuine deed in his possession.
But few of the emigrants will remain
in Dakota, which is not the Eden they
expected to find it.
V Awkward Arithmetic.
Washington, Oct 8.—The receipts
from internal revenue since the first of
the month,to-day’s collections included,
amount to SI,601,365.54, a falling off
of -more than ninety per cent, as com
pared with the receipts for the same
period last month. But for the finan
cial panic tlie collections this month
would, according to estimates made by
tlie revenue authorities here, have ex
ceeded those of last month or the
mouth preceding to the extent of at
lea.-t twenty per cent.
So that, in point of fact, the receipts
of the Government from internal reve
nue sources thus far this month are
about 110 per cent less than they
would have been if the panic had not
intervened: — —

supplied with a box of snuff and a bunch
