Massachusetts boasts that its illit
erate population is smaller than that of
any other State; and that its school
system is the best in the Union. On
the other hand, its juvenile depravity
is of the most atrocious and original
kind, not to speak of crimes against
the family, wide-spread and terrible.
Dr. William B. Carpenter, the great
English physiologist, is lecturing
against the use of alcoholic drinks by
sensible men. These are the best kind
of temperance lectures. We once knew
of a gentleman, fond of moderate drink
ing, who could not tor a long time touch
alcoholic liquor, after Dr. Campbell
gave him the pathology of the fiery
fluid in the stomach and brain.
What next? A mechanical contri
vance has been invented and patented
for untilizing the sun’s heat. It has
been found that the sun’s heat can be
applied for mechanical purposes, and
in one instance a boiler was heated and
a printing press was run for four hours,
the sun supplying all the heat required.
Metals, requiring a temperature of
700 degrees to melt them, are soon re
duced to a liquid state.
The complete poems of Paul H.
Hayne, the poet of the South, have
just been issued from the press of D.
Lothrop <k Cos., of Boston. It is pub
lished in several elegant styles of bind
ing richly embellished with many
choice engravings, making a volume of
rare value. It is sold only by subscrip
tion. Agents are desired in every city
and town in the Southern States. Any
one desiring to be of service to the poet,
should send their subscription or appli
cation for an agency to the publishers.
The Code.
It appears that an appendix or sup
pliment will have to be made to the
new code, before the contract of the
publishers will be fulfilled to the State.
Many of the late acts are left out, and
some that have been repeated are put in.
As it’stands now the 300 volumes now
ready for distribution will likely be re
tained until perfected, and no more
money of the $20,000 appropriated be
paid over by the Treasurer in addition
to the SIO,OOO already advanced. The
code coblers can go on next July with
a good grace and fix up the laws to
suit their justice court cases.
Petition for Pardon of Ed. Cox.
Post-Appeal.
Saturday afternoon Gov. Stephens
was handed a petition asking for the
pardon of Capt. Ed. Cox, who is serv
ing a life sentence in the penitentiary
for killir g Col. Rnbt. A. Alston. The
petition is signed by a majority of the
Senators and a majority of the members
of the House, also by prominent citi
zens and merchants of Atlanta, also
by many prominent citizens from differ
ent part's of the State. It is quite a
large petition. Gov. Stephens replied
to those who handed him the petition
that he could not consider it during the
present pressure of business, growing
out of a great number of bills passed
by the Legislature requiring his imme
diate action; but that he would give it
that due consideration which it deserved
at another day, without any intimation
of any views he entertains upon the sub
ject at present.
A COUNTER PETITION.
Being called upon regarding the sub
ject, Gov. Stephens stated that he
would also consider any points the
friends of the late Col. Alston had to
present upon the subject of not grant
ing the pardon.

Postmaster-General's Report.
Postmaster-General Howe, in his an
nual report, recommends that the post
age on Becondclaßß matter be abolished;
that the rate of postage on fourth class
matter be increased, and in regard to
the desire to ’■educe postage on first
class matter to two cents, says: “If
such reduction in rates would cause too
great shrinkage in revenues, I would
suggest that that correspondence be
cheaponed almost as much by another
measure, much less costly to the Treas
ury.” He approves the plan of selling
stamped envelopes at the cost of stamps,
and says that the revenue is seriously
impaired by stamps being removed and
re-used, which could be avoided by
the exclusive use of stamped envelopes.
He recommends the establishment of
postal savings banks and the postal
telegraph system He invites the at
tention of Congress to the postal col
lection system in vogue in Germany,
where small bills are collected through
postmasters; recommends postal notes
for $5 and under; commends civil ser
vice in the Railway Mail Division;
states that the expansion railroad sys
tem has been greater during the past
year than in any previous year. He
favors the suggestion that boxs rents be
paid direct to the Government, and
that the Government rent all postoffices
and not postmasters, and that where
piacticable all postoffice buildings he
erected by the Government and no
buildings rented or leased.
The Cotton Crop.
New York, December 10.—The No
vember cotton report is based on a total
of 860 replies from 569 counties, con
stituting 94 per cent of the total area
in cotton. Tho weather from October
25 to November 25 was generally good;
665 correspondents report that a killing
frost had occurred November 25, while
67 state that no frost occurring could
be regarded as killing; 688 correspon
dents report bolls stoppod maturing;
118 state that growth had ceased. The
weather has been good for picking since
November 25, the date from mail re
plies, according to 678 correspondents;
fair according to 62, and bad according
to 100. Forty replies say picking is
finished, 184 that it would be by De
cember 1, 463 that it would be done
January 1, 71 on February 1, and 10
March 1. According to 106 replies,
one-fourtli or less of the crop has been
marketed; 375 say one-fourth to one
half; 281 say
. ONE-HALF TO THREE-FOURTHS,
and 36 that three-fourths or all has
gone to market; 23 say the bolls weigh
250 to 400 pounds, 193 say 400 to 450
pounds, 475 say 450 to 500, and 104
say 500 to 550 pounds. Replies from
420 say that the proportion of seed cot
ton to lint will be 24 to 3 pounds; 200
that it will be 3to pounds, 124 that
it will be 3j to and 34 that it will
be 84 to 4 pounds. The experience .of
247 correspondents with fertilizers has
been good, of 49 has been fair and of
78 has been bad; 431 correspondents
say the condition of labor during pick
ing has been good; 123 that it has been
fair, and 205 that it has been bad.
In considering the conditions under
which the present crop has
PROGRESSED TO MATURITY.
it should be borne in mind that the
plant failed to secure a generally good
start, and in some regions, notably in
Tennessee, a bad stand resulted. In
July and August excessive rains fell
and harm was distinctly done, which
was largely offset by excellent weather
in September and during a large part
of November. The weather in the cot
ton belt was never surpassed for favor
ing tho crops.
Special telegrams state that impor
tant changes have taken place in the
crop since November 25. The crop
was so late that a considerable portion
is still unpicked. A good deal, there
fore, depends on the state of the weather
in relation to picking in December.
The estimate ot the yield by States
is based on actual estimates of corres
pondents as to the total yield in bales
in their counties, they each, in the first
place, being furnished with the acreage
and yield of their counties last year,
and the increased or decreased acreage
this season, as reported early in the
year. This is believed to he more effi
cient than the old method of asking for
the per cent, of increased or decreased
yield by counties. The probable yield,
subject to changes caused by the weath
er during the picking season, is given
as follows, by States, as compared with
the crop of 1880-81, in thousands of
bales:

The Storm of the Century-Start
ling; Predictions of a Canadian
Astronomer.
The President lias received a com
munication from Professor E. Stonic
Wiggins, L. L. D., Astronomer of the
Canadian Finance Department, as fol
lows:
Ottawa, Nov. 27, 1882.
To His Excellency, President Ar
thur, President of the United States,
Washington: May it please your Ex
cellency: On the 22dof September last
I announced through the Canadian
press that a great storm would occur
in March next; that it would first be
felt in the Northern Pacific, would ap
pear in the Gulf of Mexico on the 9th,
and, being reflected by the Rocky
Mountains, would cross this meridian
from the west at noon of March 11,
1883.
No vessel, whatever her dimentions,
will be safe out harbor, and none of
small tonnage can hope to survive the
tidal wave and fury of the tempest. As
the wind will blow from the southeast,
the planetary force will be sufficient to
submerge the low lands of the Ameri
can coast, especially those bordering on
the Gulf of Mexico and washed by the
Gulf Stream, while the air currents for
several hundred miles along the east
side of the Rocky Mountain raDge, ow
to the atmosphere pressure in those re
gions, will spread universal destruc
tion.
The New England States will also
suffer severely from the wind and floods.
No point outside of harbor in the whole
area of the Atlantic, especially north of
the equator, will a place of safety, for
this will be pre-eminently the greatest
storm that has visited this continent
since the days of our illustrious first
President.
In view of this event, therefore, I
take the great liberty of representing to
your Excellency the advisability of or
dering all United States ships into safe
harbors not later than the sth of March
till this storm be passed.

ARLINGTON.
Chronicle and Constitutionalist.
But for tho malice of Edwin M.
Stanton, Gen. Custis Lee would not
only have been restored to his father’s
manor-house, but dwelt there in peace
and prosperity. No one better knew
than Mr. Lincoln’s Secretary of War
that the seizure of Arlington and its
confiscation would not hold good for
ever, because even if treason could have
been legally maintained against Gen.
R. E. Lee, who held the property in
trust for his wife and son, there could,
under the Constitution, work no for
feiture afterward by any such presumed
taint—a taint that to this day has
never met or maintained. The refusal
to try Mr Davis as a traitor was the
abandonment ot the whole case. But,
with diabolical cunning, which once
passed for patriotic zeal, Mr. Stanton
turned Arlington into a grave yard for
Union officers and soldiers, thereby
spoiling it as a residence for the heir of
General Lee and his wife. The Supreme
Court has at last decided that Mr.
Stanton’s act was wanton violation of
law, to say nothing of decency, in that
not one dollar of compensation has been
tendered the rightful owner of the prop
erty. There will no doubt be a prompt
condemnation of the estate for tho pur
pose of securing a just title, and along
with this condemnation will come ade
quate payment for twenty odd years of
wrong. But above and beyond all
money consideration, this opinion of the
Supreme Court is, at this time, most
gratifying and important as tho reaffirm
ation of the sovereignty of the law over
political or diplomatic or sectional pas
sion and prejudice. This was well il
lustrated by Judge Shipman, in answer
to one of the Judges, who asked him ii
“the title to a piece of land on which
“the Government has set up a light
“house should be disputed, the claimant
“might bring an action of ejectment,
“and, if successful, remove the light
“house?” “Certainly,” replied the iu
“trepid lawyer; “that is my position.
“Far better extinguish all the light
“houses in the land than put out the
“light of the law.”
Thanks be to God that, in the year
1882, the people, by an overwhelming
majority, in all sections, have rebuked
the tendency to imperialism and reas
serted the just rights of the States, and
that the highest tribunal of the Repub
lic has covered itself with equal glory
by holding up to the gaze of the world
the beacon-torch of justice, in defiance
of popular superstition or sentimentali
ty Over the sea and over the land
that glorious light will shine so that
men who have despaired of tree institu
tions may take heart again. Upon the
home of Gen. Lee, where sleep the
Union braves, that beacon shall burn
forever—all the brighter for a tempo
rary extinguishment. It slept “to
wake at Arlington!”

Atlanta Post-Appeal.
Gov Stephens, recently, in speaking
of a young man, said: “There must be
something in the fellow'. The girls
and the dogs like him!”
Mr. Toombs, recently, on entering
a car found that there was but one seat
to be had, though it was occupied by a
traveling bag. “Will you please move
vonr valise so I can sit down?” he
said to the man in the other half of the
seat. “No, sir!” “Well, if your valise
is too good to sit on the floor, I’m not,”
said the General, and sat down on the
floor of the cat. A gentleman coming
in, and recognizing him, hurried to
him, exclaiming: “Why, General
Toombs, what does this mean?” “I
asked that man there for a seat,” the
General answered, “and I know lie’s
from Atlanta, for nobody hut an At
lanta man would have been mean
enough to refuse!”
| jThe Earl of Kelley was relating in
company that he had listened to a ser
mon in Italy, in which the preacher de
scribed the alleged miracle of St. An
thony preaching to the fishes, which,
in order to listen to him, held their
heads out of water.
“I can believe the miracle,” said
Erskine, “if your lordship was at
church.”
“I was certainly there,”, said the
peer. “Then,” rejoined Henry, “there
was at least one fish out of water.”
On a change of ministry, Erskine
was appointed to succeed Henry Dun
das (subsequently Lord Melville) as
lord-advocate. Ou the morning of his
appointment he met Mr. Dundas in the
Parliament House, who had resumed
the ordinary gown worn by all practi
tioners at the Scottish bar, excepting
the lord-advocate and solicitor-general.
After a little conversation Erskine re
marked that he must be off to order his
silk gown.
“’Tis not worth your while,” said
Dundas, “for the. short time you’ll want
it; you had better borrow mine.”
“I have no doubt your gown,” re
plied Erskine, “is made to fit any party;
but, however short may be my time in
office, it shall not be said of Henry
Erskine that he put on the abandoned
habits of his predecessor.
Mr. A. 8., a judge of the Commis
sary Court, talked in an inflated and
pompons manner. Having failed to
attend an appointment with Erskine,
he subsequently explained that he had
been called out of town owing to his
brother having, in attempting to leap
a fence, fallen from a st’le and sprained
his foot.
“It was fortunate for your brother,”
said the wife, “that it was not from
your style he fell, or he would have
broken his neck.”
Shortly after tho death of Mr. John
Wright, a talented but unsuccessful
advocate, the late Sheriff Anstruther
said to Erskine in the street:
“Poor Wright is dead. He has
died very poor. It is said he has left
no effects.”
“This is not wonderful,” said the
humorist, “as he had no causes, he
could have no effects,"
Fount! in a Dream.
Special to the Constitution.
Hartwell, December 2.— One year
ago last summer a highly respected
lady of this county dreamed that there
was money at a certan place near where
she lived, buried. She possibly thought
of her dream a few days and it all pass
ed off. A few nights ago she dreamed
a second time of the same circumstance.
This mado such a deep impression on
her mind as caused her to investigate.
She went to tho place, and there hidden
by the “miser’s” hand she found about
S6OO in silver and gold.
