Nothing is new that is done or said. The leaves are telling th** same old story— “Budding, bursting, dying, dead.” And ever and always the wild wind’s chorus Is “coming, building, ilj lug, lied.” Never the round earth roams or ranges Oat of her circuit, so old, so old. And the smile o' the sun knows but these changes — Beaming, burning, tender, cold. As spring time soften* or winter estranges The mighty heart of this orth of gold. From the t reat sire’s birth to the last morn’s breaking Ther • were tcmpest.hunshine, fruit and frost And the sea was calm, or the sea was shaking His mighty main like the lion crossed, Ann ever this cry the heart was making— Longing, loving, lo-iug, lost. Forever the wild wind wanders, crying. Southerly, easterly, north and west. And one worn song the fields are sighing, “Sowing, growing, harvest, rest.” And the tired thought of the world, replying Like an echo to what is last aud best. Murmurs—“Rest.” Georgia Affair*. The Athens Banner t Jules that ‘‘the man who talks about Speer’s being an opponent of Democracy is talking folly.” No one supposes that Mr. Kpe r is a Radical in sentiment. But he certainly did run for C ingress in opposition to the representative of the Democratic party regularly nominated by the party in conven tion assembled. If this is not opposing the Democracy, we would like for the Banner to say what it is. We see it reported that since the assembling of the Legislature “goobers” have advanced in price in Atlanta. The Ilawkinsviile Dispatch disagrees with Hon. Ben Hill. It says: “8o far as our iudi vidual interests are concerned, we would rather see the South kept solid on sectional issues than see the people of the South divided upon free trade and tariff questions. There will be peace and prosperity in the South as long as the white people are solid in political senti ment. There will be strife and discontent and material loss when the white people divide ” The electric light has been successfully In troduced in the Eagle and Phcenix Mills at (.' lumbns. The machinery which furnishes the electricity is run by water power, which costs the company nothing. The Columbus Times hopes this may be the initiatory step to the general iotroductian of the light in that city, and that soon the streets may be lighted by it. The following is the ticket suggested by the Conyers Weekly tor the South to vote in future: “For President, Cotton: for Vice President, Com. Cabinet officers: Secretary of the Treasury. Hog; Secretary of State, Horse Secretary of Interior, Cow; S«*cretary of War. Sheep; Postmaster General, Mills, Gins, Facto ries, Factories au# Factories.” The Talbotton Register reports that on Wednesday last, on the plantation of Dr. J. H. Bryan, near Belleview, in that county. Simps Owen and Searcy, both colored, were gam bling. when a disagreement took place about a pistol. During the difficulty Searcy struck Simps on the head with an axe, severing the skull between the eyes so that the brains pro truded. The wounded negro, in this condition, walked three miles to Pleasant Hill for medi cal assistance. He is probably dead by this time. At last our State exchanges have about got ten through with saying, in alluding to the late P.esidentiol election, “The Agony is Over.” The second down freight train ran into the rear of the first night freight near Wad ley Wednesday uight after midnight. Several cars were wrecked but no other damage re sulted. Considerable dissatisfaction is expressed by certain parties in Augusta at the recent sale of the new sixes of that city at a fraction above par. The dissatisfied think the bonds are worth 115. Last Wednesday a little boy was taken sud denly sick in one of the public schools of Co lumbus. He went borne and whs seized with violent "pawns. The only cause which could be assigned for his attack was that he had been eating orange peel. On the subject of the legal rate of interest for Georgia, the Augusta Chronicle very per tinently remark •: “While the Federal Govern ment is lowering the rate of interest and will probably fund its debt finally at three and a half per cent, and while the tendency of all curamuni' i.-s is to make the rate as easy as p* aible for the borrower and as just as can be forthelender.au effort is being made in our Legislature to repeal the present law and make seven per cent, the legal rate and permit par ties lending aud borrowirg money to stipulate the charge and receive twelve per cent, when the agreement Is in writing. We oppose this tinkering. Let well enough alone. It Is easy enough to see where twelve per ceut. will land the borrower, and to what a danger it subjects the lender. The reason why good bonds and stocks at a compir&tively low rate of interest are sought for with eagerness is because in vestors prefer, and rightly so, a safe security, although the dividend is small. Nobody wants a return to the scenes of bankruptcy just after the war. We have entered upon something like prosperity, and should seek its main tenance and not its destruction. Again we say, let well enough alone.” M. E. Boniel, better known as “the Turk,” and late the proprietor of a driokirg saloon in Atlanta, was arrested just as he was about leaving that city on Thursday last. The arrest was effected at the instance of certain creditors who allege that he had bought liquors from them on credit upon the representation to them that he had drawn a ten thousand dollar prize in the Huvana Lottery, and that he was trying to skip the State without settling his ob- liga’ions The Columbus Times says: “Mr. LaFayette Mullins, who live* near Smith's station, raised '■n half an acre of land this year enough syrup to supply his own family, and will have rroni two and a half to three barrels toselL This reporter saw the syrup in process of making, from the cane mill to evaporator.

The interests of the entire county are on the improve.” DeKalb County News: “A highly sensation- rumor has been going around in this county f" r a week or more to the effect that a Mr. Elijah Henderson, now a resident of Roswell, ;’ ul once a citizen of DeKalb county, and well 1 a ^wn here, had been found dead in Carroll’s ml! pond, in this county, and i hat marks of ' t'l'mce were on the body such as to raise the presumption that he had been murdered.

He was at once bre ught to tbe home of his parents where he died early on? e-terday morn ing. It was purely accidental and is much re gretted by >lr. Jinks.” Tbe Columbus Enquirer thus tells of “tbe holiest robbery yet' committed in that city: “Yesterday morning the show' window of a store in one of the most public parts of Broad street was brokeu open aud robWd. It was the clothing store of Mr. Jake Greenwood, aud was in twenty feet of a gas lamp. The post where the police on that beat generally stay is not more than fifty yards below. Notwithstanding this, the tbier broke the large glass and thus got access to the goods, where they appropria ted about eighty dollars worth. Among the goods stolen were several fine pairs of pants, a number of Mr Greenwood’s fln« st shirts, and many other fine goods. This is the second rob bery of the kind that has taken place in the last few day a and the police shou'd use that vigilance that wiU nip in the bud all such out rages. The first was on Front street, where the i>olice would not be so apt to discover the thief, but to come on Broad street, and in only a few feet of a gas light, by which they could com mit their robbery is a banter that should be checked at once. Let the police see that it is done.” HavckinsviUe Dispatch : “Dr. E. H. Taylor aod Dr. F. M. Jordan w-re called on Sunday last to see Dr. Wm. S. Johnson at his residence in the country. They found Dr. Johnson ruff ering considerably from a wound upon his lit tle flnger, wnich was gri-aMv swollen and from which his hand was mu h inflamed. Amputa tion of the finger appeared necessary, but, after cor.sultati' -n. it was concluded to p* at- { *one the opera’ion, aud. if possible, allay the otlaaimation in tbe band. The finger was bit ten by a m id negro, aud was quite as bail as if it had been bitten by a mad dog. The doctor had some trouble with a negro man by tbe name of tjatn Manning. They met in the road, and the doctor decided to puui^h the freed- man. Getting out of his buggy, he thought of u*ing only his whip, when the negro seized the Doctor's hand, and severely bit him. The bone in the first joint of the little floger was crushed, and ha* worked out, and the whole hand, as well a* tbe finger, is in a swollen and inflamed condition.” Douglassviile Star: “Wherever the African race is to be found superstition prevails and voudouism abounds. Reuben Phillips, a negro of this county, for some time has been afflicted with a constitutional complaint of the most serious nature, which has frequently caused eruptions on his face. A 1 though he has re ceived medicll treatment and lias been ad vised of the nature and cause of his chronic ailment, he firmly believes that he has be* n poisoned by Jonas Br3 - ant, another negro, who. be asserts, placed a ‘voudou charm’ in his hat for this purpose. This has caused bad blood on the part of both, and they have frequently quarrelled. On Friday Jonas Bryant and Joe Phil lips, a brother of Reuben Phillips, m* t, and angry words ensued when the subject was mentioned. Ben. Sewell was present, aud en deavored to prevent a light During the melee, Joe Phillips, in cutting at Jonas Bryant, cut Ben Sewell on the hand, severing all the leaders of the fingers, so that hi* hand now hangs useless at his side. The wound was dressed by Dr. J. L. Selman, who says the hand is tulnef, and will never again be u iieneflt to its owner. Phillips made good his escape, and is still at large.” Atlanta Constitution: “By reference to the proceedings of yesterday it will lie seen that a bill has been introduced iu the House by the Macon and Brunswick Railroa 1 Company for further time for the payment of pur chase money. We learn that the application is based on embarrass ments produced by various suits brought by owners of tlie $rt) i.OOO of bonds in the Federal courts, which suits may not be decided for some years, pending which the company can not issue bonds or adopt other financial meas ures for raising money in consequence of this cloud on their possession of the property. These bonds cf 5n00.<0» were issued by the old Macon and Brunswick Railroad Company: were at one time acknowledged as valid, hav ing received the endorsement of the Slate, but subsequently repudiated. Tbe own ers being unable to recover from the State, are endeavoring now that the road has parsed into private bands to hold the pro perty liable. The present company. wi?h a dt*- sire to commence work on the Atlanta connec tion. ask tor indulgence in time of further pay ments. The next installment U due 1st March, 1882. $250,U()0; the last of $675,000 on 1st March, 1884. with five per cent, interest. The bill asks an annual payment in the way of a sinking fund, commencing June 1st, 1580, which will extinguish the principal within thirty rears, (or in less time at the option of the purchasers by a fu'l payment!, the interest to be paid also annually with payment of the sinking fund, amounting in the aggregate In round numliers to about $70,000 at that date—the State retain ing her original lien in everr respect as at present prescribed by the terms cf sale. This application is based altogether on the immediate commencement by the company of work on the road between Macon and Atlant’, a fai'ure to do so being guarded by stringent provisions in tbe bill. The security of the State being thus enhanced, there would seem to be no impropriety in the Legislature granting its nj-H.-nt to tbe terms F iroposed. The company ask to be named in uture the Atlanta. Macon and Brunswick Railway Company.” A Prosperous Outlook. Baltimore Sun. The healthy and prosperous condition of the United states is demonstrated by the activity that prevails m almost every branch of manufactures. The iron mas ters are doing a good business, and many furnaces that were blown out a year ago are uow’in operation again with full complements of hands. Pig and manu factured iron do not maintain the ex treme prices at which they were held when the rush set in on the revival of business This was to have been ex pected, and prices have now settled down to a point which, while it enables the workers in iron to take contracts at lower rates, still leaves a fair profit to the iron masters. The demand for steel rails, the manufacture of which under the pat ented Bessemer process i9 still In few hands, and is therefore practically a mo nopoly, is in excess of the supply. The Pittsburg Telegraph says: ‘‘The impossi bility of filling present orders at American mills is sending tbe bulk of orders for steel rails to England.” This, too, in spite of the exorbitant duty levied on imported rails for the protection of the American manufacturer. But the best evidence of the activity of our manufac tures. not in one branch of industry, but in general, is the steady intlux of orders that machinists are at this time called upon to fill for new machinery for mills aud factories now in course of construe tion, as well as for large additions to mills and factories now in operation. Nor are these orders confined to any one section of the Union, hut range from Vermont and New Hampshire to Geor gia and South Carolina, the extension of the iron and cotton industries at the South being one of the most prominent features of tbe general revival of busi ness that commenced but little more than a year ago. It is this gradual dis- pereion of manufacturing industries heretofore largely confined to the Eastern section of the United States, and their introduction into States which have been until recently almost wholly agri cultural that will tend to a greater or less extent to create home markets in these latter States for a part of the products of the soil, and to a cheapening of the price of manufactured goods by saving the cost of transportation and of the c )m- missions now paid to agents and jobbers. It is not, therefore, improbable that in the course of the decide upon which we have just entered the diffusion of manu factures will create some changes in ttie centres of certain industries, and espe cially of those engaged in the manufac ture of iron. There arc, indeed, some signs of this coming change in the de velopment of the iron industries in Vir ginia and Alabama, and in the smaller cost of producing iron in those States. An election bet resulted in a tragedy at Pala Piata, Texas. Parker wagered seventeen steers against Arthur’s three hundred dollars that Hancock would carry New York. After the returns were received Arthur went to Parker’s ranch and demanded the cattle; but be could not get them, and in his anger killed Parker with a knife. Another case of death caused by a bet occurred at Wiimotville, Alabama. The wim er was to have the privilege of striking the loser a single blow on his unprotected breast with the naked fist. Both men were robust athletes, and they did not regard the penalty as a very serious matter. But the blow was so powerful that it killed tbe one who received it. Edward Hawkins, a boy eight years old, from North Carolina, is lecturing in central Kentucky. His object is to get enough money to secure an education. Worse than bankruptcy is a constitution broken down by disease. If it Is the result of fast living, the excessive use of whisky, the Injudicious use of mercury, exposure In miasmatic regions, sedentary habits, self abuse or scrofulous taint.

Refining West India and low brown sorts were steady and have been held rather above last week’s quotations, with limited sales. Rice was firm. The new crop of Burmah spring shipment advanced 3c. per cwt. The Maacbester Guardian, in its commer cial article this morning, says: ‘ Our mar ket is unimproved, but on the whole there is no adverse change. Buyers are still will ing to give orders at a point or two below Tuesday’s prices, but producers, as a rule, remain firm, though occasionally a slight weakness Is shown.” Liverpool, November 19.—A leadine grain circular 6ays: “The change of wind has enabled many over due wheat laden vessels to reach ports of call. The cargoes sold steadily; only fifteen remained unsold yesterday. Prices, particularly for red American, decidedly favored sellers; at the same time the gradual advance on first cost and the freights tend to maintain firmness on this side, and with a large con sumptive demand and frequent speculative transactions on the 6pot., prices at Liver pool and neighboring markets will further improve. Maize was also rather higher, both on the spot and for future delivery. To-day’s market was fully attended. There was a fair general demand for wheat at Tuesday’s extreme prices, with occasionally a penny advance. Flour was in better re quest. Corn was In tolerably good re quest at a half-penny to a penny higher for mixed.” Liverpool. November 19—This week’s circular of the Liverpool Cotton Brokers’ Association says: “Cotton has been in fair demand throughout the week.

By leleornph to the Morning News. London, November 19.—The weather to day was much better than yesterday, but the attendance at the international regatta was small. In the first heat Ross soon took the lead, but was passed by Nicholson off Walden’s wharf, Hoemer aud Riley fol lowing In the order named. On nearing Crabtree, Ross made a spurt, and soon after led by two lengths. His steering was Very bad. Hammersmith bridge was passed in the following order: R>ss, liosmer, Riley and Nicholson. They were then separated by about a length between each. Ross was now evidently rowing easily, but there was a good race between liosmer and Riley for the second place. Riley, despite one or two plucky spurts, was unable to reach Hosmer, and finished a length and a half behind him. Ross was the same distance ahead. Nichol son was a bad fourth. The time of the winner of the heat to Hammersmith bridge was eleven minutes and thirty seconds. Iu the second beat Smith led at the start and maintained his position to Putney’s steamboat pier, where H&wdon took the lead, with Smith second and Laycock third. At tbe creek the men were in tbe following order: Hawdon first, Laycock a quarter of a length behind. Trick ett a half a length astern of Lsycock,and Smith a length behind Trickett. Above Craven Cottage Laycock took the lead, and was never afterward headed. At Crabtree, Trickett, Hawdon -and Smith were nearly on a level, and at Rose Cottage Smith passed Howdon, and in trying to pass Trickett., touched the stern of the latter’s boat. As the Australian was out of his water he was obliged to stop for a s’roke to two. and this allowed 8mith and and Hawden to pa^a him. At the soap works the order was as follows: Laycock leading by three lengths, Smith second, Ilawden two lengths astern of Smith and Trickett close behind him. Between this point and Hammersmith bridge a good race ensued between Trickett and Hawdon, and eventually Trickett succeeded In taking the third place, the leading men maintain ing the same position to the finish, Laycock winning by two and a half lengths, with Smith two lengths ahead of Trickett, who was third. The time of the winner to Ham mersmith was 11m. 27s. The result Is that Ross, Hosmer, Laycock and Smith are left In for the final heat to be rowed tomorrow, tbe time of the start for which has been altered to 2:30 o’clock p. m., which will probably allow the passage of steamers through Hammersmith bridge.

The “ limes” Favors and the “Pall rtlall Gazette” Opposes Coercive measures—Explosion of Fire Damp lu a Belgian mine-Pollclco-Eco- nomlral Council In Prussia—An other Irish Assassination. By Telegraph to the Morning New*. London, November 19.—The Times, in a leading article this morning, says: “If the Cabinet or a majority of its members should be compelled to accept what, as we have said, the Irish executive deems indispensa able for the performance of its functions, we trust there will be no un wise attempt to obstruct censure that course. If the government should not deem it neceesarv to apply for extra powers, it is apparent that they must be prepared to face the 6torm of opposition when Parliament meets, which will seriously imperil the prospects of a just settlement of the land question.” The JhU Mali Gazette this evening, replying to tbe Tune*' editorial article of this morn Ing on Irish affairs, declares that every Lib eral newspaper in England and Scotland dissuades the government from an lmme dtate session of Parliament and a policy of coercion. The country, it 6ays, desires to see a new policy tried In Ireland, and coer cion without a strong land bill would not be a new policy. The Daily Telegraph points out that the Cabinet must await tbe report of the Irish Land Commission before any land reform (•ill cau be announced, or any vigorous measures can be taken. A dispatch to the Reuters Telegram Company from Constantinople says: “Mr. G vsehen, British Ambassador, will return to London in a few weeks.” Mons, Belgium, November 19.—An plosion of tire damp occurred In the coal pit near this place to-day.

THE LOUISIANA SUGAR CROP. A Full Report Based on Informa tion from Over the Entire Staf< The Cane Generally In Excellent Condition aud a Largely Increased Crop Anticipated. By Telegraph to the Morning News. New Orleans, November 19.—The Demo crat to morrow will publish a full report of the condition of the sugar crop of Louisi ana for the present year, made up from re plies to a circular letter addressed to every planter In Louisiana whose crop last year was fifty hogsheads of sugar or more, re questing information as to the present con dition of the crop, the number of acres planted this year and last, the average yield per acre in sugar and molasses so far as de termiued from the amouut already ground l the probable average yield per acre com pared with last year, aud other matters of Interest connected with the cane crop. To this circular about two hundred replies have been received. They confirm previous re ports as to the excellence of the crop. Without exception they pronouce the caue in fine condition, aud a large ma jority of them announce an in- urease in acreage and a large yield per acre. Tbe reports cover period between tbe first and fifteenth of the present month wnd are thoroughly reliable,as they come from the planters themselves and not from second or third parties. They cover the entire 6ugar district of the State. Information has been received from every parish in which 6Ugar is made, except Liv ingstone and Washington. As the total crop in these parishes last year was only 36 hogs heads of sugar and 119 barrels of molassee, their omission from the reports will not af fect the crop calculations. From nearly all the large sugar parishes information is fufficiently full as regards the increased field and acreage to serve as a basis fo^estimating the crop of this year. It may be remarked, however, that the re ports were received before the cold weather of the past two days, and whatever per centage of damage was produced thereby must be deducted from the estimates. The Democrat's f pedal telegraphic reports indicate that considerable damage was done In St. Landry and Iberia, while In SL Mary, Lafourche and Baton Rouge the cane has fared better, and may not be injured at all. Reports from the parishes of Ascension, Assumption, Avoyelles, East and West Baton llouge, Iberia, Iberville, Lafourche, Plaquemines, Polntecoupe, Rapids, St. James, St. John, St. Landry, St. Mary and Terrebonne show an increase in sugar production of 58,000 hogshead**. These parishes produced in 1879 142,006 hogs heads, or Uve-Bixths of the crop of the State. The same percentage of increase in other parishes from which we have not received sufficient data to make estimates, would give the total crop of the 8*ate 237,000 hogs heads, at which we place it. Owing to the ripeness of the cane and richer quality of the juice this year as compared with last 6eason, the yield of molasses does not 6how a corres ponding increase, although it will be in ex cess of the crop of 1879. Then it aggrega ted 12,189,190 gallons. This year it will probably reach 13,000,000. Weather Indications.

Atkinson, In Whlcla He Points Oat ttie Errors of tbe Southern Cotton Planter In Handllug Ills Crop, and Suggests IMaoy Improvements Tbereln. The following letter was handed to tbe Nashville American with a request to publish it: Boston, November 2, 1880. II. I. Kimball, Esq.: Dear Sir—While on my return North from your city, I had an opportunity to witness the great extension of the small cotton farms in Georgia and the Caio* linas. ar.d I also inspected several gin stands to which the farmer’s cotton is carried to be prepared for the market. Tbis inspection has rendered more in tense mj conviction of the need of tbe cotton exhibition, in order that this most important department of the cotton manufacture may be brought tip to the standard of modern science, both in its method and in its cost. I, of course, assume that in the sections where cotton is or ha3 been cultivated upon a large scale, or where it is still cultivated upon the plantations rather than the farm, the large steam gin establishments may be better organized and more economically worked than any of these small estab lishments that serve the purposes of small farmers, but as cotton is becoming more and more the money crop of an in creasing number of small farmers, the place to begin the fundamental improve meets that are needed would be in serv ing the best interests of this class. In order that the necessity of a radical change in the preparation of cotton for the spinner may be clear to all, I may be excused if I describe, in as few wordi, the first processes now applied to cotton in a factory in order to prepare it to be spun. These processes are perfectly well known to you, but they are entirely unknown to the great mass of cotton producers, if I may judge of their know ledge on this subject by the manner in which the proposed appreciation and use of tbe Clement attachment has been re ceived. The whole merit of the Clement attachment consists in carrying the cot ton directly from the small saw gin to a common carding engine, and taking the sliver or product from the carding engine directly to the roving frame without permitting the fibre to become contaminated by the dust and dirt of the common method of ginning or with the shives and dirt with which the cotton is also greatly injured in the ordinary process of baling, pressing and handling. That any great results in the production of large quantities of thor oughly even and well spun yarn can lie expected from the use of the Clement attachment, I doift believe, but 1 am open to conviction. Tbe same results that are claimed for it may, however, be accomplished in another manner. L?t me give a short statement of the work needed to be done to cotton as it is now received by Northern mills from Southern farmers. It is first passed through an opener to lighten up the fibre and do away with the effect of compres sion, and in the opener a considerable portion of sand and heavy dirt is also removed. It is next passed through a machine called by various names, picker, scutcher, or lapper, in which the cotton is subjected to the action of metal blades or arms revolving at a speed of from twelve to sixteen hundred turns per min ute, throwing the cotton against grit aod subjecting it to various other conditions of harsh treatment in order to remove the seed left by the ordinary process of ginning, and also to remove the leaf and other dirt which may be in with the fibre. The first picker usually contains twol sometimes three of these heaters. The cotton is passed to the second or finisher picker or lapper, so-called, and again subjected to the same treatment, and this machine contains two, some times three beaters. Every one of these operations does more or less injury to the fibre of the cotton and impairs its strength, yet they are all re quired owing to the miserable, dirty, wasteful manner in which the cotton is treated in the ginning establishments of the South. And yet, after all this harsh treatment, a considerable part of the light dirt, or fine leaf and mote remain in the fibre, and makes two processes of carding almost a necessity to accomplish upon the card the double purpose of cleaning and straightening the fibre, whereas the cotton might and ought to come to the first card in such condition that only a single process of carding would be required even for fine work,and that for the simple purpose of straighten ing the fibres and lying them even in the strand that is to be carried to the roving frame. Now, if the separation of the seed from the cotton were performed in the right manner at the South, the machinery would consist of a well adjusted gin placed in a thoroughly clean and well conditioned factory building, with such adjustment of fans and trunks for carry ing off all the light dust and leaf as might be easily applied. The seed cot ton would not be permitted to touch the dirty floor, but would be carefully fed to the gin as clean as it could be picked. The lint would be taken upon a revolv ing apron from the front of the gin and carried directly to a single beater, op erating at a moderate speed, similar to those in use in the openers and pickers of the Northern cotton mill,by which means almost the whole of. tbe seed that bad passed tbe ginning would be removed before tbe cotton hadbeen pressed. In this condition its removal would be much more easy and sure, and with far less injury to the fibre. The dust and dirt would again be taken from the single picker-beater and carried away so that it should not infest the fibre any more, and tbe lap from that machine would be car ried upon another apron directly to the iress without touching the dirty floor or jeing contaminated with the dirt of the neighborhood. All this work could be done with at least a saving of one half the number of hands now employed in the clumsy and bad methods to which cotton is now subjected. Cotton so clean that it would probably require only to be passed through a single picker and a single card after it reached the North urn mill, could be furnished at one- half the cost of labor now involved in the present bad method, and it would certainly bring from one-half to one cent a pound higher price. If this undertaking were entered upon there would be also attached to every gin house department for hulling the seed be longing to each farmer and pressing the crude oil from the kernel of each lot by itself, for which presses could now be had at a cost of from five hundred to one thousand dollars, adequate to the re moval of nearly as much oil as is now obtained in tbe great oil establishments, at any rate sufficiently powerful to re move a quantity of oil more than equal to tbe cost of treatment, thus giving back to the farmer an oil cake, or meal aod the hulks in the very best condition to be used as feed for any kind of stock, or to be used with much greater effect as a direct fertilizer than if the seed were used with all the oil m it, as it now is used. In short, I am fully confirmed in my conviction that by the expenditure of a very small amount of capital more than is now spent in the establishment of small gin stands, the whole process can be perfected both for the treatment of the fibre and of the seed, with much less labor than is now spent, and with an increase in value in the quality of the cotton and the pro duction of oil, not less than one cent a pound on all cotton thus treated. The question presented to you is whether or not it is worth while to attempt to intro duce these improvements. Yours, very truly, Edward Atkinson. The utmost profit that can be expected from manufacturing cotton into coarse yarn in a long period of years will be one or two cents a pound; on cloth be low No. 16 two to three cents, and on medium numbers three to four cents. To compass this profit a very heaw in vestment of capital must be made. Com pare this with the small investment in better machinery for ginning, packing and baling that will add at least ooe cent per pound to the market value of the cotton in the bale, and I think you will see where the profit of the cotton grower is to be found. E. A. The Democracy’s Future. Nashville American. “Sweet arc the uses of adversity” is trite, but a glance at the field after the noise of conflict has passed away, affords a new example of its truth. In the giant conflicts of society on its grand march every grea^ triumph has been born of defeat. In recent political defeat the people of the South have not only found ample reason for hope, but they have turned themselves to a contemplation of their own situation and to their capaci ties for great things, which cannot but prove of great value, not only in the field of material progress which they have turned from politics to cultivate, but even in politics where they seem for the present to have sustained a reverse. In political success, at this time, they would have been tempted to indulge anew the old Southern fondness for the political arena at the expense of material progress. The triumph of Democracy, while it was a largely Southern party, would have diminished its chances for growth in what is and must l>e for many years the most populous and controlling sec tion. Defeat in the national contest im pels the Southern people to turn their attention to material progress and de velopment. Divisions, not for mere division's sake, but such divisions as must grew naturally out of differences of opinion as to measures of public pol icy, will leave Democracy free to grow in the North where its growth is of most importance. The temptation use the party triumph for the benefit of the section which gave the party power, would have been too great to be resisted. The effect of one triumph would have been perhaps to make the national Democracy a sectional party, thus giv ing the most powerful section greatly i he advantage and consolidating the Re- publican party in the North, and the North against the Democracy of the South. The entire tendency of the present state of affairs is to create out of the de feated Democracy the national party of tbe future, diminished somewhat at the South, and largely increased at the North. The Republican party is purely sectional, creating a great necessity for a national party! Democracy would have been made sectional by a triumph won under present circumstances. The change in political affairs, which has come about through defeat, tends to ere ate of the Democracy the truly national party. The Republican party, however it may grow in the South, is by its his tory, its present controlling elements, its power at the North and the certainty that tbe Northern wing must rufe the party, and when in power, the country, is ab solutely and completely, for ten or fifteen years to come, constrained to continue a sectional party; but for its grasp upon power and the government it might grow into a national party. It is Northern and sectional, and tbe incoming administra tion is preparing to rule the country by Northern agents alone or as nearly so as possible. Democracj'.on the other hand, in retirement, is enabled to grow into a purely national party, to free itself of all sectional tendencies. A Dying Child’s Last Wish. Detroit Free Press. November 13. At one of the public schools in the northwestern part of the city the pupils are spurred to good behavior and study by cards of merit, a day of perfect be havior and study being recoguized by a fanciful small card. Twenty-four of those cards entitle the pupil to one larger and more ornamental card. Among the pupils was a sweet little girl seven years of age, whose pretty ways and devotion to her lessons had won for her the love and admiration of all her school asso ciates, aud at the close of each day her name was certain to be read from the roll of honor. A few days since her seat at school was noticed to lie vacant, and re grets were expressed on all aides, as it was the first “absent” marked against her. The next day one of her little schoolmates brought word that she was detained at home bv ill- uess. On the third day the teacher received the following note: “3Iy darling little girl is very sick, and, »s I fear, is dying. She has received twenty two of the small cards of merit, and has asked me to send to you to see if you will not send her one of the larger cards, as she is sure she would have been awarded the two cards necessary to re ceive the larger one had she been able to attend school.” The note was read to the pupils, and for a time the scene pre sented in that school room was most affecting. Not only was one large card sent to the dying pupil, but eight of them were taken to her by her teacher, and those cards—the full complement possible for the term—were with the child, and seemed a source of infinite comfort to her up to the time of her death. The child was buried on Thurs day, and prominent among the many decorations upon the little casket were the cards of merit, pathetically typical of the buried hopes, joys and ambitions of the little one whose last dreams were of success. Mr. Beeclier Puts in a Flea for the Men Who Have Sinned Once Twice. Mr. Beecher, assisted by Parson Halli- day, baptized eleven babies Sunday morning. Then he preached a sermon from the last clause of the tenth verse of the twelfth chapter of Second Corin tbians: “For when I am weak, then am I strong.” In the course of his sermon Mr. Beecher said: “There are men in public life notoriously corrupt, notori ously selfish, high handed and violent. They can do anything that they have a mind to do, and nob'xiy thinks any thing the worse of them. They have strength of character and they get along. I have one in my mind now, but I shall not mention him— [laughter]—but if a man of unsullied life at some point commits an indiscre tion—granting it to be the first crime, a single act—tbe outcry is raised through the whole community. ‘Ah,’ they say, the mask is fallen off; now vou see what he is. and what be always lias been; I knew his virtue was all pretense; we arc ail alike, all stand with the same stick!* And so there are men that stand eminent in excellence and real good, who step aside and do wrong and are blamed more than if they were doingwrong all the time. There is an unwritten creed in every countingroom.in ever}' broker’s office and certainly in ever}' politician’s office, that if one is going to succeed he must not be too scrupulous about religion. A man must take life just as it is and not put too much stress on conscience, purity or moral truth. There is not one man in a thousand that believes in truth, honor, honesty, fidelity, and will stand on these qualities and take the risk of success in life on them.

There was but half a dozen passengers, all told, and they all got out on the sta tion platform. In looking down the valley from the station (Truckee is away up in the mountain on the main line of the Central Pacific Railroad) we could see some kind of an animal coming down out of the timber and making its way over the top of the snow towards tbe river. It looked like a steer or a mule, and none of the passengers thought it was anything else. The snow was four feet deep and fro zen so bard that one could walk over the top without breaking through. Captain Vincent Yore, of Sl Louis, a man wel known in steamboat circlej both in bt. Louis and Pittsburg, and in fact all along the river, was one of the passengeis. There is considerable of the dare devil under his quiet demeanor, having run up the upper Missouri in his early days, and attended many an Indian council along with General Sherman, when the General lived in St. Louis. Yore was returning from San Francisco, where he had been to settle some railroad business for St. Louis parties, and was fixed up neat and bright as a new pin. He spied tbe ani mal, and said be thought it was a l>ear, and that if be had *a gun he would go down and shoot it. We all laughed at him, for he did not look much like a bear hunter, and tbe station agent, a burly fellow with a red flannel shirt, and bools outside of his pants—a regular picture of a forty-niner—joined in, saying he would give him a guj if he wanted to shoot the grizzly. Captain Yore was a good shot, and could be cool under very- trying circumstances. The agent, who was at once the express agent, ticket agent and baggageman combined, went into his little office and brought out a beautiful breech-loading rifle. Handing it to Yore, he said sarcastically, “Here’s a gun.” Captain Yore took the gun and started toward the end of the platform. The passengers, of courte, never dreamed he was in earnest The station agent called him back when he bad gone down one of the steps, and bringing out a rat-terrier dog of tbe light woolly Scotch pattern, said: “Here, you’ll want a dog when you go bear hunting.” Captain \ ore turned back, picked up tbe dog, and putting it under the flap of bis coat, started down toward the bear. Tbe grizzly had by tbis time got out far enough to be plainly seen, as he made his way across the narrow valley. He looked to be the size of a horse, and did not seem to care whether there was anybody within a short distance of him or’not. The Rocky mountain grizzly is the largest and, when aroused, the most ferocious of all animals in Western North America. Travelers on the Union and Central Pacific Railroad are familiar with the specimen that is caged on the platform at Lathrop, an eating station on the California end of the line. It has a foot like the “fifteenth amend ment” and is as large as a Kerry cow. The bear kept quietly in his course, and Captain Yore went straight toward him. The station agent realized the danger Yore was in, and his anxiety was juickly communicated to the pas sen gers. They got closer and closer until they were only about the length of a train apart. Yore stopped, took out the little dog and set him down. The terrier made for the bear at once, and, going behind him, bit him on the heel. Tbe bear turned around to sec what had scratched him on the foot, and tbe min ute he turned, Yore, who had been stand ing motionless, watching the bear as it came face toward him, brought the rifle up to his nose and flashed it at him. The bear immediately slapped himself on the shoulder with his paw and went toward the Captain. The passengers, who were watching him. were now wild with ex citement. “He has hit him,” said the old Californians on the train, “and now he must look out for him.” Y’ore never moved. The little snipe of a dog bit tbe bear on the heel again, he turned once more, and ngain Y’ore unloaded on him. The bear slapped himself on the shoulder and straightened up as if to go quickly for Y’ore. Then the beast broke through the snow and almost disappeared from our sight. He tumbled and rolled and waltzed around. The old Californians were almost breathless with fright “The bear is trampling out a place to fight, run, run, run!” they screamed to Y’ore: but he stood motionless as a statue. The little dog flew around the top of the pit the bear made and barked. Presently tbe bear put out his head to get his as sailant’s position, and fixing his eyes on Y’ore, he crawled out of his hole in the snow. He had just steadied himself on hi9 four legs when the dog bit him once more, and lore let him have it again, quick as a flash, the moment he turned; another time the grizzly tapped himself with his paw, indicating he had been hit He started on trot toward Y’ore, who now had four loads left in his rifle. Twice again the dog bit tbe bear, and at each time when be turned Yore unloaded into him, bringing the rifle up to his face as quick ly as if he threw a weaver s shuttle. After he had flred the fourth load and the grizzly’s pace was not slackened up much, as you could scarcely notice his limp. Y’ore turned to move back a few paces, and as he did so he broke through the snow and went down to his armpits. The passengers, expecting every mo ment to see the infuriated monster crush poor Y’ore, covered their eyes in perfect terror. The bear had got within a few yards of Y’ore, and but a few seconds would decide it The dog bit bim again, and Y’ore, who had the rifle firmly sighted, poured into bim two loads in quick succession, and stretched him as he was almost at the end of the rifle. The whole thing occurred in less time than it takes to tell it The passenger rushed down with a shout. They brought the im mense bear up to the station and clubbed together and bought the rifle for Captain Y’ore, and the Captain laid down a $20 'old piece for tbe little dog, which he wrought back with him to St. Louis, ‘for,’’ said he, “that dog saved my life.” AS AN ANTI-BILIOUS MEDICINE, are incomparable.
