NOTHING NEW.
From the dawn of Spring till the years grow
hoary.
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

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

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

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.

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

THE INTERNATIONAL REGATTA
Interesting Trial Races -The Final
Heat for Hie Championship To Be
Rowed To-Day—Four Competitors
for the Ilouor.
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.

London, November 19.—The Times, in a

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 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.

HANDLING COTTON.
A Letter from Mir. 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. How many men there are
if you could take off their skin would be
but grinning monkeys! They go through
life prosperously and die and go to tbe
devil”

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.”
