Where Cotton Originated. A correspondent inquires where and when the cotton plant was first cultivated. This is a question that in vestigation has failed to answer. It is supposed that the first allusion to cotton is found in Rig Veda, where “threads in the loon:” are spoken of. If the threads in the loom were cotton- thread, then the staple was in use one thousand years before the Christian era, or nearly three thousand years ago. However this may be, it is certain that the plant was cultivated in India eight hundred years before the birth of Christ, for it is repeatedly referred to in the sacred institutes ot Mann. But the early cultivation of the plant was not confined to India. Accord ing to Aztecs hyeroglyphics, cotton was in common ijsc among the people hundreds of years before Cortez in vaded Mexico. Herodotus, as the schoolboys know, alludes to “trees bearing as their fruit fleeces surpassing those of sheep in beauty and excellence, ’ But centu ries before Herodotus was born the people of India were clothing them selves in cotton fabrics. The Boston Journal calls attention to the Tartary myth which describes a plant animal—a lamb growing on a bush or tree. Modern scientific inves tigation has traced the origin of this myth -to the impression made on trav elers who had Been the cotton plant growing in Asia. The lamb was un doubtedly the cotton fleece seen in the open bolls.—Atlanta Constitution.

The southern female colleges and their sweet girl graduates are just now claiming a large share of public attention. The South is justly proud of her female colleges, but prouder of her females. Female education has long received distinguished considera tion in the fair southland, where a chivalrous civilization has ever ac corded to woman superior capabilities. Georgia can boast of the first charter ed female college of the world, the Wesleyan, at Macon. These institu tions have been potent factors in the development of our educational, so cial and moral condition. They have been fountains of pure streams of in fluence that have watered our homes into producing the sweetest fruits and flowers of deed and sentiment. A recognition of the higher education of woman has long blessed our state. Florida Central —AND— Peninsula Railroad. Formerly Ihc F. R. A N, t'o.

The man, thinking to choose the least of the evils, selected intoxication; but, says the legend, when he had become intoxicated he committed both the other crimes, the story. It illustrates the cunning of the evil genius as well as the folly of the human being, and is, in a measure, an answer to the not uuusu al argument which seeks to excuse oueTrom the consequence of his own acts because he was drunk.” Copyright, 1888, by World’s Dis.

When I had finished he jsid: “I’apa, tell me about his pants.” A prominent northern newspaper lately published the following sensible verdict: "The south is now, in our belief, more attractive, more easily accessible and more promising than any Other part of the country, to those who have either muscle or money with which to push their fortunes/’ UUU. aauiitatiwa.
