The statement of the condition of the
cotton crop published by the Department
of Agriculture yesterday gives a favorable
view of the present condition of the crop.
In all the cotton States, excepting Tennes
see, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi,
the average Is over that of the same time
last year, in the States above named it being
slightly under. The Atlantic Btates all
report favorable weather and the crop two
w^eks earlier than last year.
The latest advices from West Virginia

will be Democratic in both branches.
The rumor circulated that there exiats
great dissatisfaction with Mr. English, and
that at a conference among leading Demo
crats in Indiana the question of his with
drawal was discussed, is entirely without
foundation. Mr. English says he confidently
expects to be elected and that Indiana will
be for Hancock and English in November.

The Radical plan of attempting to secure
the electoral votes of Virginia and Florida,
as shown in our special dispatch from
Washington, Indicates that the Republicans
are very doubtful of securing a sufficiency
of votes in the East and West te elect their
candidates. The game in those Southern
States which they covet will be completely
blocked by vigorous action of the Demo

Importance of Secoring the Next
Congress.
The plans and purposes of the Radicals
in the present campaign are clearly de
veloped. They are bending every ener
gy towards making Congressional gains,
in the hope of controlling the Forty
seventh Congress in the event ot Genera!
Hancock’s election. The lower house of
the pi esent Congress stands 149 Demo
crats, 131 Republicans and 13 Green
backers — a Democratic majority
over the Republicans of but eighteen, and
a clear Democratic majority in the body
of only five. To wipe out this ma
jority the Republicans are now exerting
themselves to the utmost. Every dis
trict in the Union supposed to be in the
slightest degree doubtful is to be thor
oughly worked; money is to be lavishly
expended therein, and no stone is to be
left unturned to carry it for the Radical
party.
Should the Radicals succeed in their
designs in this respect it would indeed
be a great misfortune, and would seri
ously neutralize the effect of General
Hancock’s election. The New York
Herald, in a recent issue, recites several
instances in the late history of this coun
try to show how powerless is a President
who has 'Congress arrayed against him.
Ii mentions the case of Andrew John
son, in which the Executive and Legis
lative Departments were pitted against
each other.and we all remember how very
little Mr. Johnson was enabled to accom
plish in his patriotic efforts to unite
and harmonize all sections of the Union.
It cites instances in Grant’s administra
tions, and shows how he failed in many
measures he desired to accomplish—
among others, civil service reform and
the acquisition of St. DomiDgo—because
Congress refused to coincide with him
in his views. It also alludes to the
similar experience of Mr. Hayes, and on
this point makes some very pertinent
observations as follows:
‘He came into office with some com
mendable purposes which seemed to
have taken a deep root in his mdividual
conscience and his official sense of duty.
Among these was his proclaimed devo
tion to a thorough reform of the civil
service. To do him justice, he gave un
common proofs of tenacity and zeal.
But what is the practical up
shot? Why, simply that Mr. Hayes
has beeu defeated at every point;
that of the noted men he
turned out of office m pursuance of his
civil service ideas one has been elected
the Republican Governor of New York
and the other nominated as the Repub
lican candidate for the Vice Presidency.
In utter contempt of his views, the Fed
eral officeholders are remorselessly as
sessed fur election expenses. No wonder
that he finds it convenient io make an
extensive tour in California and Oregon
while things are being done which he is
impotent to resist, and which make a
burlesque of his settled convictions. All
this is additional proof that the Presi
dency is an office of more dignity than
power.”
These are all cases which are fresh in
the minds of the people, and which go to
prove, undoubtedly, how any administra
tion is seriously and sadly handicapped
which has the National Legislature op
posed to it How important it is, then,
that the Democracy throughout the
Union should strain every nerve to se
cure the election of their Congressional
candidates. Especially should they be
stimulated to renewed exertions in this
direction from the recent gains of nine
and possibly ten members by the Radi
cals m the States of Indiana and Ohio.
In this connection it is very appropri
ate to once more allude to the condition
of affairs in the First district of Georgia.
This is considered by the Radicals as
doubtful, and we are assured that money
will be expended freely to bring about a
Democratic defeat in the district. This
is proven true by a letter of Mr. William
E. Dodge, of New York, recently made
public by Senator B. H. Hill, in which
be speaks of the Radical candidacy of
Mr. John T. Collins for Congress from
this district, and whose election
he Claims, can, with “mate
rial assistance,” be secured.
He also subscribes $250 as his proportion
of such “assistance,” and calls upon the
frieuds of the Radical party everywhere
to give moderate sums, “$50or$100,”to a
fund to be marked “Special. First district
of Georgia,” and to be used in influenc
ing Radical votara in Mr. Collins’ inter
est. We learn further, from what we
consider reliable authority, that already
$5 ,000 bus been received here to be ex
pended by the Radicals in this district,
and that $15,000 more will be furnished
if needed.
The Democrats of the district, there
fore, being forewarned can be fore
armed, and may plainly see what work
they have before them to achieve success
for Colonel George R. Black. We can
not afford to lose a single member of
Congress at any point. Every Radical
gain now tells greatly against us. But
apart from this, it would be truly de
plorable for us to relapse once more into
carpet bagism, and have for our Repre
sentative in the next Congress, as suc
cessor to the honored and lamented
Hartridge, a Maine Republican who
came to Georgia for no other purpose
than to fill alucrative Federal office.
Gratifying Token of Approval of
the Course of the Morning News.
Col. W. T. Thompson, Editor Morning
Netcs :
Dear Sir—A few of your friends who
have admired your consistent, dignified
and manly course during the Guberna
torial compaign just closed desire to give
to their approval a little stronger expres
sion than words, and have arranged to
present you a suit of clothes. You will
please call and select them at jour con
venience. Yours very truly,
E, Heidt.
Saxtinnah, October J4. 1880.
A compliment so unexpected and so
delicately conveyed is extremely gratify
ing. Next to the convictions of
our own judgment, the approval
of our course by our Democratic
friends is most valued. To our unknown
fnends we return otir sincere thaDks for
their present, with the assurance that it
will be our ambition in the future, as in
the past, by consistent and steadfast de
votion to Democratic principles, to merit
the confidence and approval of all true
Democrats.
A3 the Greenbackers held the balance
of power in Indiana, and the Greenback
vote is very light, there is, says the
Nashville American, no need to look
anywhere elee for the reason for the
Republican increase. It is a notable fact
that no such quantity is in the way of
the Democrats in the Eastern Btates
which will make Hancock President.
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
are squarely Democratic, with no third
party bolding the balance of power.
At the school election at Saratoga,
New York, on Monday, three women
were elected members of the Board of
Education. Three men ran against them,
but the women were chosen by 50 ma
jority out of a vote of nearly 900.
The Political Situation in Florida.
Although the contest in our sister
State has been warm and spirited, it has
thus far been comparatively peaceful.
The only outrages reported have been
perpetuated by negro Republicans upon
those of their fellows who have ex
pressed their intention to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket. Several such- instances
are recorded in what is known as “the
Black Belt.” While the colored politi
cians of Florida claim the utmost free
dom of opinion, they are very prone to
deny this liberty to such as differ from
them in religion or politics.
Ex Senator Conover, Republican can
didate for Governor, like Garfield, has
a very vulnerable record, and in both
cases their records have been exposed
and ventilated by their own party.
Unlike Garfield, however, Conover can
not point to any transactions during his
public career that have been of any ser
vice to his country. His term in the
Senate was utterly barren of any benefit
to Florida. Besides drawing his pay
with remarkable regularity, he accom
plished nothing, literally nothing.
iSearch the Congressional Record during
bis six years of service, and its pages are
bare of anything introduced by him that
sheds any lustre upon himself or Florida.
The most damaging charges against
his personal integrity and his fitness for
office, sprang from those who were once
his associates in the management of the
affairs cf Florida, and relate to his abuse
of public trusts, and his infidelity to
party interests. He has never been able
to make a satisfactory refutation of these
charges, and his failure has cost him
many votes among the better class of
Republicans. He has no qualifications
for holding the position of the Chief
Magistrate of Florida, possessing neither
the respect, confidence nor gratitude of
the intelligent portion of the community.
Fortunately there is but little probability
of such a disaster, as be will fail to re
ceive the support of a large and influen
tial element within his own party. His
defeat may be set down as certain.
The Republican candidate for Lieu
tenant- Governor, Gen. Wm. 31. Led-
with, was nominated as a salve for his
disappointment in being defeated for the
head of the State ticket, and in recogni
tion of “the Southern Loyalist!’ element.
He has been rewarded for going over to
the Radicals by receiving the appoint
ment of Sheriff of Duval county and a
seat in the Assembly, during its last
session. He will never preside over the
Senate.
There is but little doubt of the re-elec
tion of Hon. R. H. 31. Davidson by
a handsome majority. His competitor,
the negro preacher-politician, G. W.
Witherspoon, has been a dead weight to
the general ticket fiom the beginning,
and has received little or no assistance
from the State or District Committees.
In the Second district, always close,
the struggle has been severe. Here Gen.
Finley is pitted against Col. Bisbee, with
the odds decidedly in favor of the former.
Col. Bisbee is perhaps the ablest man in
the Radical ranks, but he has lost much
of the popularity he once enjoyed. His
greed for office, his thirst for power and
his intense selfishness have alienated
many of his former supporters. He will
lose considerable strength in Duval and
Alachua in consequence of the splits in
his party in those two heavy Republican
counties. Besides this, it is known that
neither Conover nor Ledwith regard him
with any great admiration. Each one of
these candidates is industriously engaged
in paddling his own cauoe, and cares
but little what fate may befall the frail
bark of his fellow voyager.
There te not the same enthusiasm
among the negroes that there has been
during previous campaigns, and they
have not yet recovered fiom the stun
ning effects of General Grant’s failure at
Chicago. While they are, comparatively
speaking, solid, more of them will cast a
Democratic ticket next month, than on
any previous occasion.
From our intimate social and business
relations with Florida, we of Georgia
cannot but feel a deep interest in the
welfare of the Land of Flowers. Private
advices and the press of the State all in
duce us to believe that Florida will be
in line with the remainder of her South
ern sisters, and will elect the entire Na
tional, State and Congressional Demo
cratic tickets in November.
Mr. William E. Dodge—His Letter?
Senator B. H. Hill, in a lengthy inter
view recently published in the Atlanta
Constitution, furnishes two letters rela
ting to affairs in the First Congressional
district of Georgia, which are of very
great interest to our readers. The first
of these is signed by one William
Dodge, and is dated from his office
No. 11 Cliff street, New York
September 24th, 1880. It says: “Col
onel John T. Collins, a veteran
of the war, a good soldier,
upright gentleman, an active business
man and a first-class citizen, who is inti
mutely and personally known to me,
running for Congress in the First district
of Georgia.’ It then claims that the dis
trict is Republican by 3,000 majority,
and that Collins can easily be elected
with some “material assistance,” and
continues as follows:
"Thev have raised all they can there
we ought to assist him here and insure
his election. We all know how impor
tant it is. I propose to do fully my
share. Will you not help us by inclos
ing check for a moderate sum, say $50
or $100, to the Chairman of the National
Committee, ex-Governor Jewell, marked,
“Special—First district Georgia,” who
agrees to be responsible for the proper
disbursement ot such contributions.
The funds are wanted for the payment
of poll tax and other legitimate expenses
which the colored Republicans are una
ble themselves to defray. A moderaiely
liberal contribution will insure his elec
tion. I shall subscribe $250.”
The next is signed “Dodge, Meggs &
Co., No. 72 Wall street,” and is headed
Facts in relation to the First Congres
sional district of Georgia.” This letter
is as follows :
‘The census of 1880 gives the above
district 15.451 white and 17,416 colored
voters. The colored men are cearl all
Republicans ; and at least 1,200 of
white voters are Republicans, giving on
full vote a Republican majority of
about 3,000.
>|“Owing to the fact that a capitation or
poll tax is required from all voters be
fore Ui y are allowed to vote, a large
number of colored men who cannot pa}'
the ab ve tax are disfranchised, and
their vo es lost to the Republican party
Could those taxes be paid and a full vote
be polled, the district would l* Republi
can beyond any doubt. This oppor
tunity to gaiu a Republican Congress
man who will be sound on the financial
and tariff questions, is one that should
be taken advantage of, and every effort
made to secure his election. ”
These letters furnish very interesting
reading to the Democracy of the First
district, and give some insight into the
schemes and ideas of our Radical oppo
nents. Extended comment is unneces
sary. The Democracy of the district
can form their own conclusions from
them, and govern themselves accord
ingly.
Appletons’ Journal for November.
The leading paper in Appletons' Jour
nal for November is an important article
on “The Rights of 3Iarried Women,’ by
Mr. Frauds King Carey, of Baltimore,
in which there is a rapid glance at the
history of marital relations, and a discus
sion of the present status of married
women in the principal States of the
Union. Following this is the second
and concluding part of Andre Theunet’s
novelette “All Alone.” As this story
turns on tfle divorce question in France,
its position, in connection with Mr.
Carey’s article, is a notable coincidence.
The papers that follow arc very varied
in character, consisting of a striking pa
per on “The. Growth of Sculpture,” by
Grant Allen; a vivid “Colorado
Sketch,” by the Earl of Dunraven;
an exceedingly dramatic and inter
esting biographical sketch of the great
composer Berlioz, under the title of 4 ‘The
Life and Passion of Hector Berlioz,”
which is frojn the pen of £dward King.
Then there is a paper or “Guizot’s
Private Life,” derived from the recent
volume under the same title by Guizot’s
daughter; one on “The Influence of Art
in Daily Life;” and on “Literary Success
a Hundred Years Ago,” reviewing Han
nah 3Iore. There is an essay entitled
“The New Renaissance; or, the Gospel
of Intensity,” in which the affectations
of the new aesthetic Burne-Jones and
Rossetti school are brilliant satirized; a
group of novels reviewed; and the Edi
tor’s Table. Subscription price $3 00
per annum; single numbers 25 cents.
An address has been issued by tbe
prominent business men of Chicago, in
which they assert that the eleptiop of
General Hancock to the presidency will
in nowise disturb tbe business interests
of the country. Reference is made to
the hard times succeeding the panic of
1873 and the present prosperous condi
tion of affairs; and it is claimed that
natural causes alone produced these ef
fects. The address concludes; “Hence
the claim that the country owes its pros
perity to the party in power, or that it
will go to ruin if that party is turned out
of power, is an audacious one and an
insult to the intelligence of every busi
ness man.”
Tbe excitement consequent on the dis
coveries of new diamonds in the Free
Slate of South Africa, according to latest
intelligence, had not abated in intensity.
Three new rushes have been reported. A
gem of the first water, weighing fifty
carats, and worth $30,000, had been un
earthed at the Jagersfontein diggings.
The bell of the Congregational Church
at Newtown, Conn., has been used one
hundred and twelve years, and the
golden roorter on top of ihe building has
bullet marks made by soldiers of the
revolution shooting at it while passing
thiough the town.
Troops at the Polls.
Where is the difference, asks the Phila
delphia Record, between having troops at
the polls in open sight and having them
at their armories, uniformed, equipped
and under arms, ready for immediate
call to interfere with an election ? The
spirit of the prohibition of military
force where voting is going on is that
there shall be no armed intimidation in
the exercise of the right of suffrage.
Such intimidation is brought to bear
when troops are stationed near the poll
ing places and within easy call and this
fact is known to the voters. “No troops
at the polls” is not an American slogan,
It has been a maxim of English
liberty for upward of a century, and the
statutes which formulate it in Great
Britain provide that no soldiery shall be
allowed within striking distance when an
election is in progress. If it be true that
a regiment was kept under aims on
Tuesday in Cincinnati it is a shameful
fact It will not do to apologize for
such an infraction of the dignity and
independence of suffrage by talk about
quelling disturbances or checking rowdy
ism. The pretext is too thin. If the
liberties of the people are ever lost it
will be under just this false plea of the
necessity of maintaining order.
General Grant on Mexico.—In the
course of the reception given to ex Pres
ident Grant by the members of
the Boston 3Ierchants’ Exchange, he
made a business speech, in which there
was no politics. He dwelt upon the im
portance of extending our foreign trade,
and spoke of his recent visit to Mexico
and the development of that country by
means of railroads. The 31exicans
wanted railroads, and if they could get
them the ex-President was sure that their
country could be made to produce the
$200,000,00u of tropical and semi tropical
products the United States consume every
year. But 3Iexicans, he said, were afraid
of the “Universal Yankee,” and his pro
pensity for annexing his neighbors’
homesteads, and this feeling the General
tried to counteract by showing them that
there was no more danger, now that sla
very had been abolished, and with it the
desire for new territory had vanished.
The General thinks this mollified them
very much, and perhaps it did, if the
3Iexican statesmen are able to forget
Gen. Grant's persistence in advocating
Santo Domingo when he was President,
and since slavery was abolished.
The report of Governor Murray, of
Utah, made to the Secretary of the Jn
terior, says that the population of Utah
is far greater than that of any territory
in the history of the United States. In
1870 the popu’ation was 87,780. In
I860 it is shown to be 145,000. Never
theless the Governpr thinks th^t with
polygamy an established institution the
territory ought not to be admitted as
S ate. He recommends “a code of im
partial, just and uniform laws, with the
means to administer it,” and a fiir and
merciful execution of the laws as the
peaceful solution of the Mormon ques
tion.
Every prince of the royal family in
Germany is taught, when young, some
useful trade, for the purpose of sobering
the mind and bringing it face to face
with the material world and the realities
of life, and among the profusion of curi
osities and artistic relics which crowd
the pmperor William’s private cabinet
may be seen specimens of bookbinding,
carving, carpeting, and other handiwork
performed by his sons and grandsons.
Brooklyn is just now the scene of a
very interesting contest. Henry Ward
Beecher and Justin p. Fulton, alleged
clergymen, are contending for the palm
of superior efficiency in political work
and for the control of the Federal pat
ronage in Brooklyn in the event of Gar
field’s election. Beecher now holds (hji
‘plum,” and Fulton evidently want* It to
use in the building up of his alleged
church.”
3Ir. Bancroft, the historian, in answer
to an inquiry, recently wrote in a clear,
delicate and vigorous style of penman
ship that docs not betoken his age the
following note:
You ask me about Washington's stat
ure. It was exactly six feet two inches.
The biographers of General Hancock
claim the same stature for him, but I
have not seen that any one has noticed
the coincidence.

FIGURE OF THE EARTH.
Physical Forces Which Prod need
tbe Present Shape,
The Comptes Rend us of the French
Academy contains a remarkable paper
by 31. Faye on the physical forces which
have produced the present figure of the
earth. After remarking on the use of
the pendulum in determining the figure
of the earth from series of measurements
of the intensity and direction of the
gravitation force at different parts of
the earth's surface, he draws atienticn
to the very curious fact that while the
direction and intensity of gravity are
affected perceptible by the presence of
hills such as Schichallion and Arthur’s
Seat (in Scotland), or even by such masses
as small as the Great Pyramid of G;zch
gigantic mountains, on tbe other
hand, such as the Himalayas, and great
elevated plateaus and table lands, do not
affect the pendulum vibrations in any
sensible manner, except in certain cases
where upon elevated continents there ap
pears to l»e a veritable defect of attraction
instead of the excess which might have
been expected. Indeed, the observations
are sufficiently striking to seem to point
to the supposition that under the whole
of every large continent there were enor
mous cavities. 3Iore than this, the attrac
lion at the surface of all the great oceans
appears too great to agree with the dis
tribution presumed by Clariaut’s formu
la, which is exact enough for the pur
poses. Sir G. Airy’s suggestion that
the base of the Himalayas range reaches
down into the denser liquid
interior and there displaces
certain amount of that liquid, so that
the exterior attraction is thereby les
sened, is one which, inherently improba
ble, fails to have any application in ex
plaining why the attractions above tbe
seas should be greater thin over the con
tinents. 31. Fay propounds the follow
ing solution to the difficulty: Under the
ocean the globe cools more rapidly and
to a greater depth than beneath the sur
face of the continent. At a depth of
4.000 metres (13,000 feet) the ocean will
still have a temperature not remote from
0 degree C. (32 degrees Fall.), while at a
similar depth beneath the earth's crust
the temperature would be not far from
150 degrees C. (allowing 108 feet in depth
down for an increase of 1 degree
the internal temperature.) If the
earth had but one uniform rate of
cooling all over it, it would be reason
able to assume that the solid crust
would have the same thickness and the
same average density all over it, it is
therefore argued that below the primitive
oceans the earth’s crust assumed a defi
nite solid thickness before die continents,
and that in contracting, these thicker
portions exercised a pressure upon the
fluid nucleus tending to elevate still
further the continents. This hypothesis,
31. Faye thinks, will, moreover, explain
the unequal distribution of land and sea
around the two poles, the general rise
and fall of continents being determined
by the excess of the density of crust below
the oceans, and by the lines or points of
least resistance to internal pressure be
ina at tbe middle of continents or at the
margin of oceans.
Christening tne Spanish Infanta.
A correspondent of the Daily yews,
writing fiom Madrid, says: The bap
tism of the infant Princess was celebra
ted in great state yesterday. The Chapel
royal had been handsomely decorated
and fitted up with tribunes for the ladies
of the court, for the diplomatic corps
and their wives, and for the marshals.
Generals, grandees and State function
aries, whose uniforms, as well as the
toilettes of the ladies, showed to great
effect in contrast with the sombre velvet
hangings and escutcheons on the marble
columns and stuccoed walls of the chapel.
The interior was crowded long before
the King and the Royal family entered
the gallery facing the altar, which was
splendidly illuminated. The clergy, with
the Bishops,the Cardinals,the Archbishop
of Toledo, and the Patriarch of the
Indies, and the Nuncio, representing
the Pope, formed imposing groups in
side the railings of the altar, just as the
saluting guns and the military band
playing a march announced the ap
proach of the infanta in a gorgeous pro
cession. The long galleries of the
palace were lined with halberdiers in
full uniform. The procession was headed
by lords in-waiting, grandees, mace
bearers, heralds, the king-at-arms, and
the equerries attired in the gala dress of
court ceremonies. Before” the infanta
were born the insignia of baptism, a
salver, a mantle, a napkin, a taper, some
salt, some cotton wool and a huge al
mond cake that is distributed afterwards
to the guests. The Infanta 31aria Isabel
Mercedes was carried by a nurse in her
peasant dress, blazing with gold and
silver on velvet, and wearing the same
necklace and earrings which were worn
at the baptism of King Alfonso in 1857.
The robe of the infanta was a magnifi
cent present of Queen Isabella, who
walked last in the procession, surrounded
by the great officers of the palace and
the commander of the Guards. The
ceremony was conducted by the Cardinal
Patriarch of the Indies. Queen Isabella
held her granddaughter over iho font.
During the most impressive part of the
proceedings the choir of the Chapel royal
sang some beautiful hymns, and an artil
lery salute was fired as the Princess was
again taken back by her household.
The health of Queen Christiana is excel
lent. A Council of 3Iinisters proposed
to the King yesterday many grants of
crosses, titles and three toisons d’or, one
of them going to the son of the Due de
Montpensier. They also recommended a
general amnesty for political prisoners
and a reduction of the penalty for crimi
nals in penal servitude and the prisons.
The King and Queen have received
messages containing congratulations from
many of the courts of Europe, among
them being one from Queen Victoria.
has
The Boston Ship Convention,
Washington Star.
The Boston ship conventson
proved to be a total failure, as far __
any benefit to American ocean commerce
is concerned. It has misled its purpose
entirely and fallen into the control of
men interested in tbe coastwise trade
and in building wooden vessels. The
few members of the body who are de
sirous of doing something in behalf of
our foreign commerce are powerless.
Under the influence of interested parties
the convention bids fair to be committed
in favor of government subsidies to sup
port ship building and encourage the
establishment and maintenance of
American lines of steamers. It has
been demonstrated that the sentiment
of this country is opposed to this plan
of reviving American commerce. This
sentiment has been powerful enough to
crush subsidy schemes in the past two
Congresss. What is demanded is free
ships. If the people are to be taxed to
maintain the American flag on the ocean
they will say let matters remain as at
present and let the foreign ships do our
carrying. The foreigu ship-owners are
energetically pushing their advantage
over the United States, under present
laws. A ay Southern port has but
to let it be known that it has cotton to
send out and will receive foreign goods
back, to have ships provided. All along
the Southern Atlantic and tbe Gulf
coasts foreign vessels are increasing their
carrying tj-pde, and New Orleans is
month by month paying larger sums to
vessels of other countries. When asked
why American vessels should not con
trol our immense ocean commerce, the
bulk of the people generally reply
promptly that they ought, but a few in
terested persons begin to argue, and
though their reasoning i9 not satisfauto-
ry, they have their way.
‘Ton’l Know Half Their Value.”
•‘They cured me of Ague, Biliousness and
Kidney Complaint, as recommended. I had
a half bottle left, which I used for my two
little girls, who the doctors and neighbors
said could not be cured. 1 would have lost
both of them one night if I had not given
them Hop Bitters. They did them so much
good I continued their use until they were
cured. This is whv I say you do not know
half the value of Hop Bitters, and do not
recommend them high enough.”—£., Ro
chester, N. Y. See other column.

|The cradle of the infant Princess of
Spain is of polished ebony inlaid with
silver. Its form is that of an open shell.
The curtains are of silver gauze enam
eled with white velvet flowers, the cov
erlet of white satin on which are em
broidered in brilliant colors the arms of
Spain. One lady graiuleuse of Spain
stands at the foot of the cradle during
the royal infant’s slumber to watch the
precise moment of her awakening. An
other grandesse stands at the head armed
with a huge feather fan to chase away
the flies. The royal Spanish crown,
which in silver gilt hangs in front of the
cradle, is the work of Froment, the great
Parisian goldsmith. The cost of~ the
cradle, without the hangings of fine
lace and the garniture Of marabout
feathers which surround it, is estimated
$1,400.
