Tlio Urowing Cotton Crop.
Cotton has been hardening within tho
put few days iu Livcrpyol, probably un
der the Inflreoco of more roa?onablo
opinion! in relation to tbo probablo
magnitude of tho growing crop. For
reasons unknown to ns, it seems to have
a generally assamed that a "phmomt-
nil’ crop is a thing certain, whereas few
conditions exist to warrant tbo expecta
tion of even an average crop. Those no
tation ly nnpropitions are the oontinneu
wet weather—tho backwardness of. tho
plant, and tbo prevalence of rast and cal-
erp llar, particularly in tho most prodao-
tivo regions.
Wo think tho fond expyoUtions ot a
large orop must soon bo dispelled, and
prices reaot a little. Tho crop osnnot be
large, and may wall bo very considerably
diminished from that of lost year.
THE GEUBOIA FBESS.
A KemwrKabio Storm Disaster.
In tbo great Atlantia coast storm of
l«st Sunday night and Monday morning,
tho Atlantic Hotel, at Beaufort, N. C.,
was partially submerged, and finally
dashed to picocs. A correspondent of tho
Wilmington Jleview. giving an account of
it, says, tho storm had been brewing all
Sunday, and burst upon them about 9
o'clock Sunday night. It grev stronger
and dtroDger until about 4 o’clock in the
morning, when it was at its highest.
Mr. Williams retired about 2 o'clook, end
about 3 o'clock come one awoko him,
saying ho shonld not lose the grandeur of
the storm. At that time tbe water was
within two and a half feet of the piazza
on tbo first floor.
After looking around and taking in tho
situation,ho repaired to tho room doors ul
tho ladies in his party, and told them to
ge* up, and then went through the houso
waking the other guests. Ho again went
do vn stain, and found that tho tido had
risen very rapidly, and that the water
was then about waist deep on the first
floor of the building. Hurrying back to
tho sleeping apartments of tho ladies, ho
found that they had only partly dressed
them vi we but hurried them out as Boon
a- possible. Dome ran oat in wrappers,
others barefoot, none of them carrying
nytbing more than what they bad on.
It was a nub for lifo, and no Unto for
gathering ciotbiug, jewelry or souvenirs.
Tney were placed in tho billiard room,
i.uno distance ia tho roar of the hotel,
when Mr. Williams started back to help
r -seae other ladies, and try to sivo whnt |
little of their property he coaid. Daring
:!i:a time the tide had risen from 15 to
20 feet and it wan then up to tho second
to-y windows of tho building. Jast at
Ins time two young men from Newbern,
jie.srs. Giii.in and Disosway, were Men
to throw a mattress out of a third-story
window on tho aurgiug billows below and
Hen imnudiately plunge into tho water.
They gained the mattress and by Us aid
succeeded in making tho shore.
Tho tido was rapidly rising and the
ladies were moved from the billiard room
and us they waded out the building sue-
embed to tho fury of the waves and wind
Aims-1 immediately afterwards tho At
lantic Hotel was seen to careen and in a
moment there was not one timber left
landing on tbeother.
Too betel seems to have been fall of
sitors, all of whom, bat one, escaped
wilh their lives in very imperfect oos
tumes, bnt with tbe loss of ail their bsg-
gage. They retreated to tbe Ocean Ho
tel, bnt that was soon unroofed and then
tbe giie ,ta of both houses took their
tacd on tbe nearest high ground and
atehod ,tbo storm till daylight. Snb-
eqnentlyeome of the trnnks and vain
hies were recovered in a depreciated
condition.
Tnc nnlucky Fall B vcr mills grind

Wx mako this extract from General
Gordon’s address presenting the por
trait of Dr. Crawford W. Long to the
Legislature:
This recognition of Dr. Long, as the
di-caverer of anuiithesia, I repeat, has
beea too long delayed if it coaid hav
been otherwise; and Dr. Long mast hsvs
DO foit it. It is true that other great dis
eoverera have lived and died without wit
nessing or even anticipating the best re
sults to the world. Franklin, for in-
stance—the far-seeing Franklin—as he
rent hia little kite flying to meet the
clonds and drew thence lightning to tho
earth and demonetrated its identity with
eleetrioity, little dreamed that be held
within hia grasp a mighty agent which
was soon to beoome subservient to tbs
wfll ot man, to sweep aronnd the globe
at man’s bidding, outstripping tbe snn in
its flight, and bearing intelligence to man
on its wings ot Ore. But not so with Dr.
Long. As he stood, a modest, nnpretend
mg physician, in tbe county of Jackson,
. u the 30:b day of .Marob, ia the year u!
nnr l.nr/i 1B12, testing bis discovery up
on his patient, he must have felt evou
then, in the very incipiency of his discov
ery, what a priceless boon he was about
to confer upon the human race. And, i.s
with eager eye and throbbing brain, he
looked from the result of his experience
over the vast field of human suffering
which lay before, be me;: have lifted his
heart in thankfulness to God that He hed
permitted him to be so great an instrn
roent in the alleviation ot physical an-
gmsh. [Applause-]
An honor to the noblo profession of
which he was a member—a profession
which—in its sacred offices of relieving
suffering, stands nearest the ministries
aronnd tbe altars of tbo Most High ; an
honor to this great commonwealth, of
which ho was a devoted son ; an honor
to America, whose progressive science bo
baa signally illustrated. This modest
man, this great discoverer, this grand
apostle of humanity, richly deserves
all the honors we can pay to his memo
ry. [Applause.]
Let his portrait be placed npon the
wails of the Capitol. Lot it be placed
among the most famous of Georgia’s
eons, for although ho was neither ora
tor, nor statesman, nor soldier, yet if
great services to tho race be the true
measure of greatness, Crawford Long is
tho peer of any man of this or any age.
[Applause j Place him by the side ot
your great Crawford, of your heroic
Jackson, of yonr Early of the iron will,
of yonr Troup, your Forsythe, your Ber
rien ; for while these men are the equals
of any this country ever ptoauc-
ed, they conferred upon Georgia,
through their eloquence and states
manship no higher honors than has Dr.
Long through his science and the lasting
benefits bestowed upon humanity. Piece
him there as the most appropriate tnbnte
you can now pay to the memory of one
who, in all coming time, will be regard
ed as ordained of God to diminish the
sun of human suffering, to half cancel
tho curso and half neutralize the sorrows
of man’e fall, by tho alleviation of phys
ical anguish. Place him in your highest
niche, cot only ns an evidence of your
appreciation of his fame and services, bat
as a reminder to tho ambitious young of
the land end to us all that the most en
during fame, the truest glory and tho
most God-like achievement is not that
which mark’s and emphasizes man’s tri
umph over hie follow man through injus
tice, untruthanvl wrung, but that which
links his name with real and lasting ben
efit to his fellow man. [Applause.] In
the came of truth, then, of justice, of sci
ence, of humanity and of religion, I
commit to your keeping, representatives
of Georgia, tho claims and fame of our
fellow conntryman and humanity’s bene
factor, Dr. Crawford W. Lang. [Great

Swift stars shoot round in their rapid

the changes wrought by bis ruthless

Fakmvk Eiviixx, of the Meriwether
county Vindicator, who-e horny hands and
bronzed cheeks mark his steady devotion
to the duties ot bis calling, launches oat
in his defense of the farmers, as follows:
It is passing strange that the farmers,
we mean the real uilers of the soil, in
the Georgia Legislature oannot see what
is best for their interests. Conid these
farmers have bad their way the great Ag
ricultural bureau wculd have been puMe i
np by the roots. It wts the lawyers and
professional men that saved it from
death. How tnankfu! the farmers ought
to be for the disinterested kindn- ss of
the sbls agriculturists who are determine i
that the loving labors of good Dr. Janes
and his patriotic assistants shall b < per
petuated.
Wnenevera farmer, one of the genuine
horny handed, intimates that he knows
something abont agriculture and its
needs, he is aneeringly alluded to ae th;
Hon. Potipbar Peigreen. bnt when the
soft handed (we don’t exactly mean soft
headed) Hon. Progressive Simpleton,
arises and delivers one of hi) exhaustive
four hours harangues, the cry goes np
“Great is Agriculture,” and those who
make a living ky talking agriculture,
writing np fertilizers and instructing
other people how to till the soil, fearing
their craft is in danger, make hasts to
assure the country that the Hon. Pro
gressive Simpleton from the county of
Humbug has saved the country again.
How long, oh how long shall the farce
continue nrd the poor farmers be laird
to the tune of $50,000 or more per annum
to pay the expenses of the agricultural
side show ?

The Henry county Wcchly, from which
we get the above, has this additional
item:
A first-class scandal is agitating the
usually quiet neighborhood of Tussahaw
district just now, to the infinite disgust
of tbe good people of that chaste com
munity. It seems an attempt at black
mailing was recently mada by a woman
residing in that particular locality, in
which she was aided and abetted by her
husband, who, singularly enough, is a
minister of the gospel. The affair
was bronght to tbe notice of the
church, and in view of the previous high
standing of tbe parties concerned, and
the circumstances of tho case, It was
thought proper to investigate the whole
matter. In aooardanoe with this resolve
a committee was appointed, who have
been sotively engaged for two or three
weeks past in collecting evidence, and
they will make their report to-morrow.
It is expected the osse will develop an
amount of riohnesa heretofore unknown in
the annals of cbnrch trials in Henry
oouaty, ami may furnish material for a
new sensation. At any rate, the bottom
fact3 will be rcuohed, and if nothing else
is accomplished the publio mind will be

The New Orleans Picayune says: O’
late the Southern cotton markets have
broken down, and quotations have been
roduced at a rapid rate. At this season
of the year, especially with quarantine
difficulties impending or actually existing
holders are exposed to local inconvenien
ces, and tbe business is of such a char
acter as to scarcely afford a basis forqao-
tations,the offerings being mainly of small
lota and sales meagre. New crop cotton
has made its appearance in Texas in
larger proportions than was expected.
This_is a late orop.aud with the pinch for
supplies in Europe, tho position depended
upon the extent of receipts at Southern
seaboard markets daring tho . early
months. European spinners would bo in
very awkward predicament in Oatobe r
and November, were the American crop
movement to the Eeaboard retarded from
any canso whatever on account of the
6mall stock they have left to work on.
The disastrous draught which has oc
curred in Texas, forcing tho plant to pre
mature development and furnishing car-
iy cotton for tho market, though great
ly reducing the ultimate yield, which
must tell seriously on the final crop out
turn in a State producing so large a per
destruction, and the motion of the piston
going over the centre could no longer be
distinguished, the bell rang. We had
r. ached the rate of a mile a minute. It
was the fastest I ever rode, before or
since. I tried hard to make a mile a
minute on subsequent miles, but laoked
it three or four seconds every time. I
couldn’t squeeze another mile inside of
the sixty si cond3. "When you hear a man

that ran a mile a minute, don’t say any
thing, bnt mentally scratch off a good
allowance.”

Coney Inland Cookery.
Letter in Courier-Journal.)
The style of eotk that grows np on the
island can’t improve. Ha is simply perfect—
perfectly viio. I shudder to think of the
destiny of tho waiters They aro all in
training to become professional tramps.
Yot if a grain of pity still larks in the breast
of the maltroated visitor to this Vanity Fair
of tho soa, he must bestow it on these apron
ed culprits for iho misery they hourly en
dure in inhafling the odors of the horrible
dishes they sot upon the board. “Nemo-
sib” has a drop to pour out oven for them.
I don’t think that ovon a hardened savage
could stand more than two or three trips to
Coney Island during tho Boston, unless it
were to merely alight for a moment and then
speed back again through tho breeze, which
lives only through tho motion of tho boat.
cectago of tho aggregate growth
American cotton, has be?n taken advan
(age of by the bears to depress tho mar
ket. TaesJay’s receipts of 152 bales of
now crop at Galveston sot the New York
sharpers to calculating, and 23,000
was figured as the amount of new cotton
that port would famish daring the month
of August. The subsequent day’s email
receipts caused a rally, and yesterday’n
figures a relapse. As it is now a que.
tion of “bales,” and tho speculators fear
the actual staple, though in imagina
tion they handle so many millions of it,
the prospect of early cotton has caused
demoralization. However, wo aro far
from thinking that planters are to be
prejudiced by tho [turn the market has
taken. If we start tho year with aver
age rates the result will be more satis
factory to producers.
Last year tbe bulk of our crop was sold
at or below the ccst of production,
Speculators received the benefit of the
r.se a little later on, and manufacturers
were helped over a very trying period.
This season we are likely to bavo a dif
ferent order of things. The world’s sur
plus supply of cotton, accumulated dur
ing tbe palmy days of Indian and Brazil
isn production, has been swept away, and
we shall start the new year with scanty
stocks m Europe, and a demand sufficient
to absoib a large American crop that we
are likely to furnish. From the planting
season to the present lime tho American
crop has fared worse than last season.
The small increase in acreago has been
far more than counterbalanced by the
less f avorable condition, and as we enter
upon the critical period, that of pickiu_
the conditions are again changing for .he
worse In comparison with l ist yf ur. The
old proverb, “A dry season for a good
cotton crop," like ali other proverbs, is
only half a truth. A dry spring is too
apt to be followed by a wet autumn.
A MILE A MIKUXE.
Wbat an Old Engineer Says
Abont Knnnlng at That Speed.
X. Y. fiun.1
“How fast do yon think wo are trav
eling?” Charley FraHer, one of the oldest
engineers of the New Tork, Lake Erie
and Western Railway, asked a Sun re
porter, as they were standing together on
ths footboard of Locomotive No. 209,
rnshingover the meadows towards .Ru
therford Fork.
‘•I should think we were going nearly a
mile a minate.”
“A mile a minute ?’’ said Fraser. “I
doubt if you ever rode a mile a minute.
Few locomotives have driving wheels over
five feet, and I have my doubts whether
a five foot wheeler can be pushed a mile
a minate. People have a very erroneous
idea of the speed of railway trains. We
are not going new more than thiriy-five
miles an heur, and this is very fast. Few
trains make this speed. The passengers
in the cars would think we were going a
mile a minnte sure if I was to pall out
the throttle so as to send her forty miles
an hour. The express trains make no
such time as the local trains. Where
we lose is with so many stops. No man
could stand on a platform car and face the
wind goisg a mile a minute and live.
Tne breath wool! actually be blown ont
of his body. Yon couldn’t count the tel
egraph poles going a mile a minnte. Talk
to an old engineer of that rate having
been made by a passenger tram, and
he would laugh. I made a mile a min
nte once, however. It was when I w.as
but IS years of age. I w»3 an engineer
then, in charge of a fine eix foot-wheel
locomotive. There were a lot of railroad
oguls on board, and the object was to
make the best time we could. They
were to ring the gone when the speed
was a mile a minute. I thought we were
aking it for some time before the bHl
rueg. At length, on a down grade, with

Mr. Sarauol J. Tilden and Mr. Thomas A.
Hendricka had a narrow escapo last week
from encountering each other on a lonely
island in Long Island Sound. If Mr. Hen

if Mr. Tilden lied mado np hie mind to oo-
cupy the apsrtmentd engaged for him at
Block Island by tho Hon- floury Wattoreon,
and had noi gone oisewhero to refresh ntm-

that those two eminent Democrats might

The viiolo tendency of modern education
ia to lift boys and girls to places they aro not
fitted to fill, to disgust them with work which
tiier aro fined to do, which must ha done,
and wh.ch cm be osily obtained. Onr theo
ry of education ia oonti nally losing sight of
a fact which never permits itself to ho ignor
ed, an i teaching the young to lose sight of
it, tliat the mas3 of poep'c in every genera

N. Y. Tribune.)
It ia related that General Scott’s femona
loiter to Zachary Tay or, announcing the
withdrawal of most of tho regular troops
on him in London we learn that his labors
are incessantly prosecuted in his office for
at least twelve" hoars on' of the tweuty-fonr,
and that he has atilt a few hours to spare
for enjoyment and recreation wish his
friends, to whom he is always welcome as
one of the most genial and vivacious of com
panions. So for from being affected by this
mtenss labor hia physique exhibits secretly
a perceptible change from that which
it exhibited when he was a lender at
onr bar and at that of the United States
Supreme Court, a Senator from L uitiana
and the most brilliant ai d effccuve orator
and debator in that body twenty o dyears
ago, or when Secretary of State of the Con
federate Slates fourteen years ago. Hia
hair still maintains its raven hue, unfroated
by eixtv-seven years of tiial and labors; his
flashing eyee have all their old brilliancy,
needing no aid of glasses to perform their
work, and bia handsome face wears still that
winning smile which ia rarely preserved by
masculine countenances. The only percep
tible change observable in hia manners ia m
the greater gravity and precision of hia ut
terance and in the restraint of a vivacity
which, in his middio age, might bo properly
described as boyish in its freedom and gaye-
ty. This change is doubt’ess due to the dis
cipline of the English bar. where oxtreme

There is littla danger of Mr. Benjamin ever
falling into the style. Ono of his highest
gifts, and the principal secret of his wonder
ful success as an advocate, has been the
marvelous clearness, force and dramatic
power of his statements and the exquisite
art of of epitomizing the facte and law of
tbe case he has in charge. The recognition
of this remarkable power was happily ex
pressed by ths late venerable Chief Justice
of the United States 8upremn Court iu a
side observation to a brother justice, after
hearing Mr. Benjamin's etatemont of hia
case on his first appearance before that tri-
bnnal:
“It appears to me, Brother C., that your
little New Orleans lawyer has stated hia ad
versaries out of conrt.” And so it proved,
and these adversaries were no less distin

REMARKABLE LETTER FROM J
TUCKER ESQ.. MANUFACTURER OF
BAY STATE SUPERPHOSPHATE.
Vbbsbs MTsBSB & Pottbr — Gentlemen:
think I have pail for medicines and medical
treatment during the last twenty years all of
three thousand dollars, without receiving any
permanent benefit.
Last May waile taking a Turkishibath at 17
Beacon street, a young man employed there by
the name of Wm Corbett induced me to allow
him to applya preparation that lie had upon mo.
assuring me that it was perfectly harmless, and
for a ccrtxin consideration he would cure me
within thirty days from the time he commenced
Iu case he failed to do so I was to pay him noth'
ing. I cors-ented and ho applied it nearly every
day for fivo weeks when tho disease entirely
disappeared, I very cheerfully paid him tlio
amount agreed upon, and then asked him what
the remedy was. and he replied that it was none
other thau Uutacura.
Since that lime l havo had no trouble from
this disease, and hive not had such good health
in twenty years as I have had during the last
tnx months.
I have ainco my recovery bought Cuticura and
given it to friends suffering with skin diseases,
and in every instance it has cured them. I be
lieve it to be the greatest remedy of tlio present
century.

cured amt for somo time afterward. Whore the
Humors are confined to tho Blood, and do not
show themselves on the surface, the Resolvent
alone will speedily drive them rom the system.
