One of the matters upon which light
was admitted at the St. Louis meeting
was tlie covering for the next year’s
cotton crop. Representatives fr%m the
jute factories outside the trust were
there, and offers were made of contracts
for 2-pound bagging at 7 cents a yard.
Manufacturers of cotton bagging were
also there, and offered the standard cov-
iug of the Alliance, 4 inches wide,
weighing2Y of a yound to the yard, at
s cents. The farmers generally favored
a continuation of the use of cotton cov
ering, the standard having fully come
up to the tests and been fo; nd safer,
lighter and cleaner, besides making a
market for inferior gtades of their own
staple. The matter was referred to tlie
state organizations,which will make ar.
rangemeiits for bagging next year’s
crop.
The convention united on a demand
for actual tare, which the Legislatures
of the different states will be called upon
to enact into law. Then a uniform cus-
ton of 7 yards of 44 inch bagging, 12
ounces to tlie yard, will be observed,
making no variation in the standard
bales.
The mills now have ample notice of the
intention of farmers and sliQuld put in
proper looms, which are 'inexpensive,
so that no pretext may remain for ob
jection to cotton bagging less than
standard width and weight. The mar
gin lor profit at the time stated,8 cents,
is ample, and the the covering for the.
cotton crop v. i 1 require betwtin 40,000,-
000 and 40,00,000 yards, or nearly $3,
500,000. The refusal of the government
to grant a paten t on the standard cloth
leaves no tangible objection on the part
of the factories to its general produc
tion, and it is not probable that any far
mers will have difficulty in securing an
ample supply for the next crop.—

Portland, ME., Dec. 21—[Spe- ial]—
Capt. George B. Leavitt, of the whaling
ship .Spy, of the Pacific Steam Whaling
Company, is in this city visiting his
mother, having recently arrived from
Alaska, where he has been for the pv«t
live years. He brings the first news of
what inay possibly be the discovery of
a hitherto unknown 1 md many miles
north of Alaska. Capt. Leavitt’s win
ter quarters are at Point Barrow, the
most northern point of Alaska, and
with his crew he has remained there for
five consecutive winters, beginning
operations ns early as April, four
months ahead of the big whaling fleet-
that visits the Arctic waters during the
summer.
For some time, Capt. Leavitt says,
the natives in Northern Alaska, and on
the small Islands in that vicinity, have
been telling stories of an unkuown land
to tlie far north. Many of the older in
habitants stoutly maintain that there
is a larger land north that no white
man has ever discovered, and that is
not down on any of the maps of the
Arctic region. One of their stories is
to the effect that several years ago an
adventurous hunter of a tribe in North
ern Alaska took dogs and sledges and
went north across a frozen sea. Noth
ing was heard of him for over a year,
and he was given up as lost. Then he
returned and told a wonderful story of
finding a new land far across the ice.
There lie built a hut and remained till
the waters froze over again, when he
found his way back to Alaska.
But Capt. Leavitt’s story about the
discovery is that during the cruise of
one of tlie vessels of the whaling fleet,
which ventured many miles further
north than any others, a few years ago,
her officers discovered a land that could
not be found on auy of the charts, or
accounted for in any way. A gale drove
the vessel far north along the shore of
the land, but the season was so late that
the men-did not stop to explore, de
siring to get south as soon as the gale
subsided. These men held that it was
an unknown land, worthy of explora
tion at the proper season. No vessels
have since been so far north. Capt.
Leavitt thinks this mat' settle the ques
tion of an open polar sea. There are
no ice-drifts south of Point Barrow, he
says, and tlie ice must find an outlet at
some other place. During the summer
months, the vessels find the sea very
clear.
r more wide-spread
a 8a
cause deeper or
sorrow, than was carried over the
country yesterday in announcing the
death of Henry \V. Grady.
% This brilliant young Georgian was
cut down in the prime of life aud
manhood ; but he had already been
crowned with laurels of fame such
as are won by few men after a long
life of distinguished service to their
Country.
No man ever lived who occupied a
warmer place in the hearts of his
people than Mr. Grady. He Lad
won their respect, their love, iheir
admiration. He was the pride of his
Stale and of the South. His career,
while brief, was one of the brightest
ever made by man ; and his name wii
live in history, and remain a green
8pot in the hearts of his countrymen,
as long as time endures.
Henry Grady has done as much
for his country as any man, be he
living or dead. He has stood by his
people and their institutions, and his
pen and'his voice wete always hesrd
in their defence. Henry Grady died
as he has lived—battling for the good
name of the South, aud in defending
his people from the slander of their
enemies. It; their grief, over the
death of this brilliant young jour*
nalist and statesman, his section will
shed as bitter tears as were showered
upon the bier of Jefferson Davis
One died full of years and honor,
the otht r was cut down in the prime
of mauhood, and spread out before
him was the brightest future ever-
vouchsafed to man. His loss to the
South is irreparable. There is no

propose to use the electric li$>hr. to
do that work found to be beyond ::ie
reach of the most vigilaDt police.
These spots are generally quiet dur
ing the day, but when the shades of
night begin to fall and the veil of
darkness covers the earth, the in
mates of the deas cravyi from their
hiding places, and until the rising
sun dispels the night and drives
these creatures again into their lairs,
crime nigas supreme. Under the
cloak of darkuess the most hurt idle
deeds are committed, and the per
petrators manage to escape. The
White Chapel district of London— •
the borne aud haunt of Jack the .
Ripper—will be the first spot select
ed for the electric light cxperiimnt
Heretofore it h is been tlie practice
to brilliantly illuminate the priuci- *
pal thoroughfares and leave these
low haunts ill darkuess It is now
proposed, by the use of this new
light, to transfoim these sections
into unbroken daj', and rendcM- the
commission of crime almost impos
sible without detection. It will be
an interesting experiment, and oco
which vve believe will work with great
success. If the electr o succeeds,itt
driving out the thieves and cut
throats that infest our great cities,
we would like to fee it turned ou ihe
republican party of America for a
little while.

There is more iu the arrangement of tin

should study hrr own feaiures, and unlcst-
she possesses a face of marvelous beauty,
she will at once perceive that the entire ef
fect of her com.tenaDCe is changed by tlw

with the new and extremely grae ful
modes which our artistic hair drissers are

why every woman, regardless of her age,
ahould uot make the most or her looks and

Those who are deficient in t»pil!ary

POSSIBILITIES OF COTTON EEKD.
'J lie possibilies of cotton seed .seem to
be limited l.y their opportunities only.
A few years ago, the work of extracting
oil from the seed was begun. It was a
long time before the people could be
induced to believi that there was any
food value in the oil cake. Later this
came Into general and satisfactory use
for both feeding and fertilizing purpo
ses.
To hull the seed and thus make it
ready for the oil mill was regarded a
most wonderful achievement, but the
mill managers occasionally discovered
that they had on their hands a good-
si7< d white elephant in the waste of
not at that time been driven north. The
Arctic Ocean is full of shoals far to the
north, and wrecks are numerous eveir
in the most favorable season. Capt.
Leavitt is a native of this city, and bas
a high character for ability and trust
worthiness. Next season he will com
mand one of the large steam vessels oi
the company.
He tells interesting stories of his
novel winter life in Norther n Alaska,
and says that the hardships are not so
great as might be imagined.
Lieut. Albin Hodgson, an old Athens
boy, now of the United States Navy,
has lately arrived in Alaska, with a
fleet for winter quarters. He writes to
friends in Athens some novel stories of
Alaska life, among which is that all the
water drank there is caught in vessels
while it rains, a? there are no wells,
and but few springs, on the elevated
regions.
A SERIOUS CHARGE,
How to get rid of the hulls which ac
cumulated in the mill yard was a trou
blesome question The managers bade
the people come and haul the hulls oft
and use them as bedding for their
horses. Recent experiments have de
monstrated the value of these hulls as a
food constituent, and now they sell
readily at $150 per ton and are used
f. r fattening cattle.
Now comes information from Wash
ington City that a machine has just
been patented, hat will revolutionize
the cotton seed oil business, and enable
ti e cotton planters of the South to sell
$25,000,000 worth of cotton seed which
they cannot now sell for want of a mar
ket. Tlie inventor, Sir. J. S. Cothran,
sa -s there are annually 2.000,000 tons of
cotton seed wasted because there is no
market. If the seed could be exported
the English oil mills would gladly buy
it, because they cannot get enough from
Egypt, their present sole source of sup
ply. The seed cannot be exported be
cause tbe cotton fibre, which surrounds
it, after being ginned, heats in the hold
of the ship and rots. My machine
cleans the fibre from the seed, and
leaves it as clean as a grain of wheat,
in which condition it can be exported.
Mr purpose is to establish mills at the
various seaports of the cotton states,
and commence the cleaning and ex
porting of cotton seed. The cleaned
seed will realize $30 20 per ton in Liv
erpool. The entire costs of putting it
there would be $20.00, leaving a clear
profit of $10,20 on every ton of seed. If
we cleared only one-tenth of the seed
now thrown away the profit would be
$6,000,000 for one season’s work. The
English method for manufacturing oil
from cotton seed is far superior to the
American system, and they pay more
for the seed and realize better results
from the process.

Athens mourns the death of Ilenfy
Grady with the most poignant grief.
It was in this city that he first saw
the light—here that he grew to man
hood, and among our people he form
ed ties ol affection and friendship
that even death cannot sever.
Our pen fails us iu attempting to
frame words in which to express
sympathy for the bereaved and
stricken family. Indeed our heart
bleeds for them. We mourn the loss
of Grady as one of the truest and
most loyal friends man ever knew-
we mourn him as a Georgian, and
feel that in his death has indeed tbe
hand of affliction been laid heavi’y
upou our state; we mourn him as
Southerner, for he was the young
David that was doing such man’y
battle for the good name of Ins sec
tion, and had even triumphed m the
camp of our enemies.
Lot his surviving friends, however
feel that their grief is uot alone, for
every true Southern heart and manly
Northern bosom this day throbs in
sympathy with them. We will never
again see Henry Grady in life, or
be charmed and thrilled by his
elequence; but his name has
been interwoven with that of the
South, and future generations will
point to it as an illustration of all
that is true, loyal, and chivalrous
