Stye 'ionstitutioiifllist AUGUSTA, G-jF^.z Tuesday Morning, September 28, 1875. CURRENT TOPICS? The Business Outlook. _ Cotton is pouring into Augusta at the rate of from eight hundred to one thousand bales per day. It is being rapidly thrown upon the market and sold, and the money passed into gene eral circulation. Although our trade is nothing extra ordinary, we really have no reason to complain. In the near future all our merchants will bo busy. Never was all manner of clothing offered so cheap. As an example, a most excellent article of calico can be bought at retail at seven cents per yard, and from that on to ten. Hardly anything in the line of goods for wearing apparel is bringing more than half what it did five or six years ago. Provisions are still high, particularly bacon, and it will forever continue so until the South raises its own meat. The Agricultural office at Washington says the finest corn crop ever made was raised this year, which means we are to have cheap bread. Thank Provi dence we are to have little to buy this Winter and next Summer. Whatever may be the situation North, and it is the bluest known in fifty years, there is no necessity for any one tak ing a gloomy view of the future in the South. We have just raised a magni ficent crop of corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, hay, peas, and lastly of cotton. This cotton is obliged to sell for some thing iu the neighborhood of $240,000,- 000, which money will be drawn from countries and foreign centers and dis tributed over the South. This added to the amount # we have on hand will give us more cash than any other ten million people has in this world. We mean every word of this. We are not the least interested pecu niarily iu any of the smashes and crashes, “tramps,” failing factories, and the like up North, no more than if they were in Australia. We havn’t a dollar invested in them. We are in a bomb-proof so far as all that is con cerned. Instead of being hurt by them, we are benefited, for all these shrink ages mean cheapness for the things we have to buy. This is an agricultural people. Mother Earth is our only bank. When she fails, then w T e will have reason to cry out “hard times.” She has not failed us this year, but given a mo3t bounti ful yield. The Burlington Free Press knows of a centennial that will not be celebrated in this country. “On the 25th of Sep tember, 1775, Ethan Allen, with one hundred and ten men, suddenly ap peared before the city of Montreal with the apparent intention of capturing it, as he had the old Ti fort a few months previously. History, however, does not inform us whether he had got so far as to demand the surrender of the city ‘ in the name of the Great Jehovah,’ etc., when Gen. Caiileton, with a large force, sallied forth and captured Allen and his whole army. The hundredth anniversary of this fool-hardy enter prise occured on Saturday.” The Philadelphia Press announces that it is “in receipt, from undoubted authority, of information which indi cates positively that Charley Boss is known to be still alive,” and “that the prosecution in the Westervelt case have withheld some important evidence iu furtherance of apian which prom ises to restore the boy to his parents. 1 further says that Westervelt will be convicted and then pardoned “on c ndition that the boy shall be re stored by the parties known to Wester velt.” One of the most remarkable men of the Alabama Constitutional Convention, | says the Courier-Jour rial, is Colonel ! Bethea. lie is a lawyer, but has had only one case in his life It was his first and his last. The case involved a large amount of property, and his fee depended upon his success. He won; his fee was $60,000, and with this he gracefully retired from the bar. A legal career so brief and so brilliant has probably been the lot of no other man since litigation began. The New York Commercial Advertiser says all the ocean steamship companies have sunk money on nearly every pass age for two or three years past. The Bremen line has lost $1,115,000 in two years, the Hamburg $400,000 during the past year, and the White Star, Inman, National and Cunard lines not less than $4,000,000. A paragraph is going the rounds of the press that Mrs. Sallie W£rd Hunt, of Louisville, intends giving public con certs in connection with Madame Le Yert’s readings. This statement is entirely erroneous, and probably grew out of a promise by Mrs. Hunt to assist Maddme Le Vert when that lady reads in Chicago. The question, “What becomes of all the Yale College men?” is not so hard as it seems. During the vacation Mr. Wood, ’6B, shot himself; Mr. Crowell, Sheffield Scientific School, ’76, was drowned, and Mr. Grinnell, ’75, was killed by a base ball. The Salt Lake Tribune claims to have a skeleton 136 feet long in its of fice. The mighty bones were unearthed near City Creek canyon, and are sup posed to be those of some creature that endured existence in the barbarous old times of mastodon. The death is reported pf a man who, the French think, may have been the involun tary cause of their defeat at Waterloo. Pierre Cockz a naturalized Belgian, was arrested by the army of Blucher, tied to a hor-o’s tail and made to serve as a guide during the terrible days of J une 15 and 16, 1815; at least, so the French obituary says. Pierre has just died at Nogent at the age of seventy-five. The papers say that he never forgot the horse’s tail, and dreamt nightly of the pistols that were held over him while in that uncomfortable position. If you are passing a woodbine cot tage and hear a female’s voice cry out “Thunder to grashus—ooch!” you can bet your pile that she stuck her finger into the preserves to see if they were hot enough to put away. —[Detroit Dree Press. When Baby Died. [From the Independent.) The day the Baby died the flowers Drooped o’er the leaf, And birds within the shady bowers Lipped plaintively their grief, And through the garden in the sun It seemed as if the day were done, When Baby died! As if o’er all the land a sudden blight Had withered flower and leaf in one short breath, Unto a mother’s heart day turned to night, As life to death; While to her now come back with sudden tears The winsome face, the tossing curls aglow, The little feet that pattered to and fro, The angel wisdom of three happy years, All ending with such suddenness of woe When Baby died! From out the drawer she takes with trem bling care The little shoes that Baby used to wear, Ah ’ but the silence of the missing feet. The tearful vision of the face so sweet— Baby’s dead! Put in its place away the curl of hair— Nay, she will press it to her lips again, And, dreaming of the years that might have been, The mother folds her hands in speechless prayer, Baby’s dead! Why, Baby was the playmate of the birds; They missed him ere the second day was gone, And twittered round the porch with plead ing words, But silent was his voice upon the lawn ! The hoop lay where he left it by the wall, The swing was motionless, and over all Such silence seemed to reign That from the lonely room the sob of pain Was echoed in sad hearts, although they knew Their little friend the shining gates passed through When Baby died! His gypsy dog no more will bear the rein, Nor draw about his tiny cart again. The hands are crossed, the little soul Is free. And Baby lies beneath the churchyard tree. No more again his mother’s face he’ll press His dainty cheek with many a coy car. ss; No more he’ll clasp his little hands and pray. In words she taught his rosv lips to say; Nor will he blithely talk Of things so wise beyond his baby years Put in their place the playthings that he left. About the house each dear remembered walk Brings to mother’s eyes the blinding tears, Since her fond heart was of its joy bereft When Baby died. So leave the chamber of its silent gloom, And put aside the little cradle bed And draw the curtains. Close the sacred roo i ; ’Tis filled with mournful memories of the dead. For e’en the pictures hanging on the wall Some thoughts recall That start the tears unbidden; and the vine That clusters round the widows still will keep Its flower nodding in the shade and shine, To greet him when he wakens from his sleep. Baby’s dead! And all in vain crushed hearts must reason why Their loved ones in their bloom and beauty die. Life holds but love alone sufficient worth To bind our weary feet unto the earth, And hearts are breaking for the love they lost When some dear soul the shadowy river crossed.

The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con siderations with this arrangement is its security against fire. Yours, Ac., M. F.
