TIIICpMILITIC' AV.OI TLOOK
Ibe New York Tribune lias been
making observations in the political
*ky. Tt descries the coming conjunc
tion of planets which will inevitably
• csiilt in the overthrow of the douii
na.. political party and restore the
government to the control of the Demo
/racy. Tt thinks the signs arc so
patent that “ a wayfaring man though a
Idul,” need not err therein. Tt ex-
Its views as follows upon the
political outlook : “ There has rarely
been a time when it has been so little
complicated and confused, or when the
man of average understanding, reason
ably good memory, and unbiased judg
ment, could so easily unravel its tangled
-nds and grasp not only its salient fea
tures but its full significance. The
present situation is that of a paUy
.dominant throughout the nation for
Fifteen years retiring from power and
giving place to its opponent. There is
mo mistaking it. The opposition have
already a very largo majority in one
branch of the government, it has re
gained many of the States it lost be
tween 1854 and 1860, and captured
some it did not dream of. Tt is on the
rising tide. The indications, as they
present themselves to thinking men,
are that the political revolution will be
consummated in 1876. and the Demo
cratic party will come into power in
the nation.”

The Baltimore Sun's special from
Boston, dated the day beforo <ihe ceje

The South Carolinians were re
ceived with marked enthusiasm, but
probably *'bc greatest ovation of the
day was accorded to General I'itzhugh
Dee,who came later in the day with the
Norfolk Blues. General Lee rode in
in open carriage, with Colonel Walter
Taylor, of Norfolk, formerly of General
R. E. Lee’s staff. When his presence
was known deafening shouts greeted
him from packed sidewalks and win
dows. The carriage was several times
stopped by the eager crowd rushing
under the wheels and before the horses
* personally welcome him. Cur a '”"0
ance be rode uncovered, bowing a
to the many salutations that
greeted him op every side. When the
carriage was stopped by the surging
masses of eager people ho rose and
bowed his acknowledgements. The
ovations to this distinguished Virgin
ian could not have been heartier any

INSCRIBED TO THE FRIEND OF MY
CHILDHOOD.
Forgotten ! did you .say? The name
in as familiar as a “houauhuld .word.”
’Tis as fresh as the morning dew. That
mind lias become sordid indeed, that
can jqrgct the dear associations of child
hood; when we romped and laughed
in all Pne free and unsuspecting glee
fulness of our full, happy hearts ; then
wo knew no guile, and feared no deceit.
Forgotten ! no; I shall always think
of, and connect the name with many,
eery many of the bright, delightful
memories of the past. It recalls the
diys of ‘long, long ago,” wheu the en
chanting visions of youth were all tint'
ed with the hues of the rainbow; and
in cur innocence we felt that .no ev.il
could ever mar the sweet p'casures and
bright hopes of life. Those were days
of love and joyousness, free from cares
and responsibilities, flow I wish they
,might have lasted always. But, alas !
for all things mutable! what a “change
has come o’er the spirit of our dream,”
and wc awake to the fact that all things
here are subject to change and disap
pointment.—'‘There’s nothing true hut
heaven.”
it has been thirty years since we
®iet. 'Then we were just upon the
threshold .of life’s more'earnest duties.
What changes since then ! We have
met and battled with many stern reali
ties. Have encountered disappoint
ments and disasters; have been deceiv
ed when, and where we least expected,
aud ofttimes the ‘‘heart has been made
sick trout hopes deferred.” Still there
has been much to cheer—some suc
cesses, and many a bright day of peace
4tod love and happiness. So the clouds
do not last always, and our hopes arc
not doomed to 6ad disappointment on
every pathway.
Thirty long years ’ When I think
of the sad changes, (he disappointments,
the cares, the loss of friends during
these long rears it almost seems like
‘an endless age. Like some glimmer
ing, measureless vista through which
the vision is strained, and tires in gaz
ing. Like wandering amid some gloo
my labyrinth, Tost aloii,<j its dreary maze
until tlm heart gr{ nret ' n t from its own
contemplations, . years have
brought frosted lock.- tnd now and
then an >e that tells of failing
strength '• approaching age.
But imam. When I recount the
many, many scenes of bright, refresh
ing pleasures, the enchantments atten
dant upon social life, the various grati
Bed wishes resulting from hopes real
ized, 'it seems but as yesterday since
we were children together, bounding
o’er flowery paths and fragrant fields—
I forget age, and am a child again. So
when I take all into the count, I find
more of joy than of sorrow, more of
love than of envy, more of smiles than
of tears, and feel that lifo though a
stern reality, is D*>t all dark and dreary.
Euty will lavish her rich, rewards up
on her votaries. 4 So, then, it is in the
faithful disoharge of duty, our honest,
earnest <kity,'that we can hope to real
ize subsAntial enjoyment. He who
looks for pleasure in any other path than
this, will either be doomed to coustant
disappointment, or else become soured
with life and a foe to what is good.
IVlint si Itig Crop IVocih! I>o.
[Macon Tel. ami Mess., 17ili inst.]
Cotton fluctuates and languishes in
the foreigu and domestic markets, with
a largely diminished supply and the
certainty that the fast .crop is three to
four hundred .thousand hales shor.t.
The market has no backbone and is
notj likely to have any. The trouble
now is an apprehension of ngi increased
crop uext fall. A half million bales
excess in tho incoming crop would
undoubtedly diminish the money value
of the whole crop to producers, even
•below that of the present crop.
The practical value of propitious
weather to the cotton producer, there
fore, will not inure to him, hut to buy
ers and manufacturers. And he is,
moreover, in tho situatiou of a defend
ant prejudged to ho guilty until he has
time and opportunity to prove his inno
cence.
Tiro world of cot-ton purchasers as
sume .an outside limit of production
Vivti.l it is apparent that this limit has
not been attained. Thus the shadow
of the big forthcoming crop of 1875-76
—though the subject docs not exist—
though it is as yet, only a creation of
fond juifycluation, is thrown on
the little remnant of the incoming crop
and shuts out all sunlight from the
market.
Such is the situation, and the whole
argument would lie fur a short cotton
crop, provided the loss of product
could be equally distributed among
producers. The effect of increase in
product is simply to impose on the
grower the task of more picking, baling
apd hauling, without remuneration,
and indeed, as we believe, at even less
than a diminished product would bring
to the planter.
The interest of the planter in a
heavy crop is, therefore, a purely indi'
vidual and not a collective interest. It
is an interest merely to secure his per
sonal share in the Bum total of crop
money, which he believes will be en
dangered by a small yield on his par
ticular farm. If he could be assured
that three bales of his short crop would
bring him just as much money as five
bales of a heavy crop, he would say
give me the three bales all the time. I
do not wish to raise and send two bales
to market at my own cost.
Hut as tho cotton crop covers a vast
region and embraces a variety of cli
matic conditions, no vicinago of the
planting interest, and no region of
country feels that it has any material
power in controlling the great volume
of product. If such a power could
possibly be brought into existence and
wisely exercised, the whole planting
interest could he secured a profitable
product, by at once regulating the pro
duction to meet tho demands of con
sumers, and so establishing a fairly
remunerative price, and a condition of
affairs iu which propitious seasons
should not work positive injury to the
planter.
Tho inability of the planting interest
to establish and maintain auy control
of cotton production amoDg themselves
(which would be the simplest nud most
direct remedy for the evils under
which they labor), makes it clear
enough to our mind that all projected
combinations to control tho markets
and shipments of cotton in the same
interest, will be equally impracticable
and futile, and the chances are that
they will prove disastrous. Men should
not venture beyond their legitimate
business-s-business which they have
been trained to aud understand in ull
its parts and bearings. If they do,
they will blunder and learn experience
at the Oust of loss and failure.
.We sec no possible chance of con
trolling the cotton trade by tuy couibi
nations among producers, especially in
the light of the fact that combinations
to regulate cotton production have
been found impracticable. The only
remedy we can see in the premises is a
personal one, and very partial at that.
It is for every cotton pr<duccc to gain
a pecuniary condition in which he will
not be forced to hurry his crop forward
at the opening of tin market, but can
choose his own time for selling.
This will le some vantage ground
gained, though perhaps not a very im
portant one in respect to mere prices.
It would have made no very material
difference the current cotton year ; but
next fall, if the market opens under
the depressing effect of extravagant
estimates of the maturing crop, and the
cramp of general dull times, wo can
well see it would make a great
ence, should the crop afterwards prove
light and business revive.
The Tennessee Wheat Crop.
The Nashville Bulletin has authentic
information from its canvassers over
the State, that the average of wheat is
probably twenty per cent, in excess of
last year, and the yield greater per
acre than at any time during the past
six years.

retrenchment in our household ex

honor each to the other that we will
NOT, during a period of ope year from
the first day of July, 1875, purchase
any material for wearing apparel the
cost of which shall exceed twenty-five
cents per yard. And shall further
promise to observe a strict economy in
all the household appurtenances, and
cheerfully add by those delicate sacri
fices to the general stock of home com
forts, too often dispensed with for the
frivolous outside adornment of tho
body alone.”
The Griffiu Star and Cultivator says
the agent of the Direct Trade Union
at that place received returns from the
cottou of different parties during last
week, and that after “ deducting every
expense, this cotton, which was ship
ped iu differeut lots, has netted the
parties from §S to Sl2 per bale, over
and above wbat the cotton would have
brought in Griffin on the day of ship
ment. More than this, the parties at
tho tiuicof shipment drew three-fourths
of the Griffin value of the cottoD, and
have had the use of this money during
the entire interval. Had they deposi
ted it in a Griffin warehouse and kept
it until the day it was sold in Liverpool
they would, instead of making, have
lost several dollars per bale. Now, had
the 18,000 bales that have been
brought to Griffin during the past sea
son been shipped to Liverpool through
the same channel, the farmers in this
seotion would have made a gain of at
least §150,000. On the entire crop of
the country the same operation would
have saved the South twenty-five or
thirty millions of dollars,”

•—The r.o small honor of being the
discoverer of a method of doing with
out rain, if necessary, is now attributed
to M. Paraf. Ho knew that tlie air
was full of moisture, and ho knew that
chloride of calcium would attract and
condense it for cultural purposes, lie
has applied this chloride on sand hills
and road beds, on grass, and or. all sorts
of soils successfully, and he has accer
tained that it may be applied in sueli
proportions as will produce the irriga
tion of laud cheaply and efficiently.
—M. De La Bastie having made
glass elastic and malleable by plunging
it when heated into an oil bath, two
Silesian experimenters have turned
their ingenuity to the opposite extreme,
and have recently discovered a method
of making glass so hard and unyielding
that it can neither be bent nor broken,
and may be plunged, red hot, into cold
water without injury. , Indestructible
lamp chimneys and window panes that
defy snow balls are among the least of
the advantages expected from this in
vention.
—The experiments made in London,
in which either oil or glycerine is made
to perform the functions of steam by
the same means—toe application of heat
—have excited no small interest. The
heat expands the oil iu small cylinders,
and from it, it is claimed, a pressure of
ten thousand pounds per square inch
may be obtained without the danger of
steam explosions, which latter prevent
the use of a pressure of more than two
hundred pounds to the square inch
generally. In this instance, it is as
serted, an explosion would only crack
the cylinder containing the oil. The
application of this process appears,
from the accounts published, to have
been successfully made to the printing
press and to machines for riveting and
punching, and it is alleged that the va
riety of uses of which it is susceptible
will be found very great.
