The extraordinarily large cot ton crop of this country is caus ing trouble in Europeas well as here. In England the outlook for cotton mills is so gloomy that a very large nund or of them have dosed their doors, thus thron ing an immense number of operatives out of work. There is no profit in manufacturing cotton at this PATHETIC MONKEY STORY. A pathetic monkey story is told liy the “Naturalist on the Prowl” in the Tillies of Indiana, lie says: “Ono morning on a rocky hill, sparsely covered with small trees, I disturbed u troop of monkeys, which made n holt over open ground to some thicker forests in the valley below. Three, how ever, disregarded me, remained one tree, making horrible noises at. something underneath. T soon discovered that the object of their indignation was a brutal- looking, black dog, which was busily devouring something at tho root of the tree. When the dog saw me, it made oil', carry ing in its mouth a black thing, like a little animal, with legs and a long tail. 1 guessed it was a baby monkey, and gave , chase as hard as I could,, but the clog made good its escape without dropping his prey. “Coming hack to tho tree, I searched 1 lie ground, and found the body of another little infant, still warm, llow did the poor littlo thing fall into the jaws ot that brute? I have often,seen an infant of the same size clinging to its mother’s breast in perfect rest and security while she took most I taste llieu^ierself daring bounds from tree to tree. Perhaps the dog surprised liio monkeys on tho open ground, ancl pressed tho mother so hard ihat she dropped her offspring to save her OvWii life. Or perhaps they were enjoying a pie nic in fancied security, and had laid down their little ones when the Zulu rushed upon them. While I was exam ining the limp little body to see whether life was extinct, a pitiful wail told mo that its mother was watching me. Him had retired to another tree some distance off, and was wistfully gazing at me, wandering wind I was doing with her precious bubo. I saw that there was no hope, but I retired and hid myself to see what she would do. She came down at once and tippsioached cautiously, distrusting me and lumping me in her mind, no doubt, with the brutal black dog. Then she stood upon a stone, and standing erect, looked all round, ancl gave a plaintive scream. ’Where was her darling? At last she found it and caught it up, and pressed it to her bosom. But it could not lay hold of her; it fell. Again and again she raised it, and en couraged it to clasp her in its arms, as it laid always done. “She did not seem to under stand that it was dead. At length she laid it to her bosom with one hand and tried to run on three, lest the black dog might return. When she got to a safe tree she clambered up as best she could, hugging her precious charge with one arm, and there she gave way to her grief, and cried piteously, while a kite sail ed grimly round the tree, as if claiming his own. I have often wondered what she did in the end with tho little lifeless body; I cannot believe that she left it to llm kite. It would not surprise me to know that she buried it, or laid it in some hollow and cov ered it with leaves and stones.” Sliilodii’s Catarrh Remedy.

Virgin ill cook ing bits been il synonym for u de lightfully prepared meal. And no doubt Ibis universal opinion is a correct one. But Virginia cooking, when there wasn’t any thing to cook, is quite n different mat ter from ivlmt it is with a pan try to which the whole country supplies every delicacy in and out of season. Those upon whom developed' the cure "of the larder during the days of the cival war toll a piti ful hut ludicrous tale of the straits to which dire want and necessity often reduced them. Tho coun try was of course then torn up by excitement, and tho marching Hoops’ foraging kept it pretty well clear of o very Mini gin the ed ible line. Of coureo the north ern soldiers appropriated all they could get for themselves mid their hoi’ses, and tho southerners ex pected nothing but liberality at the hands of those for whom (hoy fought. ()ccusion.i.dly a . woman V’ho was hard pressed for money (Confederate notefj being almost worthless) would concoct rare dishes and sell them to the pass ing Union troops at exhorbitant prices. A lady, who is famed for her sluewdand keen business wit, told u funny story of some such dealing-. She found some old Norway raisins and mixed with them some stale, dusty honey that had been kept for years for poison niixing purposes. Those ingredients she compounded Into pie-, and though she failed to he sold every one of these pics to the passing troops. .Uncle Sam had many foes to face, hut it is safe to say none ever laid a deadlier effect than those same pies. Coffee, being an imported, ar ticle, was impossible to obtain. Tea, mustard and a thousand oth- ci seeming necessities grew to lie strangers at southern tables. Sometimes sweet potatoes were roasted, cut into several pieces and boiled as coffee, hut rye was the usual substitute. Corn bread was of course tho usual dish, and chicken or turkey often served as meat when the soldiers left any such dainty. Salt was a scarce article, and a famine was staring the people in the face when salt works were started in West Virginia. Pork was the usual meat, mid such veg etables as tins dangerous times enabled the, slaves who staid at the farms to raise, were the prin cipal fare. Cattle wore driven off by soldiers of either army, so beef was scarce. “Hurd tack” biscuit were often the only bread to he gotten, and many poor sol diers lived on it for days at a time. “Hard tack,” which is about as difficult to chew as a piece of marble tombstone, was soaked in water over night, then fried in milk in the morning. In the matter of clothing, too, the south was nearly as had off us it was for food. Most of the mills for making goods woro at the north, so Miss Dixie found herself hard pushed to get tho goods and ribbons for her frills and furbelows. Still fashion reigned in spite of war’s alarms, and the rough homespun and cheap calico drosses wore turned and made over and looked ujjon with truely feminine pride. When Confederate money had so much depreciated, fabulous pric’s were paid for tho simplest thing —calico selling at $10.00 per yard, soap at $6 per pound, lawn $10 a yard and a barrel of tlour Iicing worth $100 in greenbacks. Of fbur.se llie.ir value in gold was only the selling price at tho north, but southern paper was al most wort bless Yet in spile of tin - depressions in the pantry, tho scarcity of raiment in the war drobe and the terrors of the rag ing war the Dixie girls amused themselves much in the manner of to-day. 19* mil MSm { r
