tion lae communicator! to ithc state de
partment and it is reported that he
urged upon the secretary the expediency
of this government instructing Minister
Adame to-complete the act of formal rec
ognition. While it is doubtless felt by
the state .department that the Republic
of the U nited States of Brazil has been
-established upon a permanent basis, it is
-probable that the act of tormaliiy recog
nizing it through our -minister will be
postponed until tliore is an official head
■or. chief eieautive chosen in pursuance
of,some regular method. A meeting of
the congress in Brazil has been called for

probably be launched with a complete

WHICH PRODUCES COTTON SEED WITHOUT
THE LINT.
The new liutlcss cotton plant men
tioned in these columns some time ago,
is attracting considerable attention.
There seems to be no doubt about the
existence of such a plant, as proof of it
is exhibited in Charleston. Ttiere were
received there Tuesday a box of bolls
raised in Sumter county all contnining
cotton seed without a fibre of lint.

A dispatch says that on Thursday a£
many seed as it can hold, the bolls being
the size of the average cotton boll,and ev- j
ery individual seed is as clean as a Boston |
bean. The importance of this matter may ;
be understood when it is remembered ]
that there are thousands of cotton oil j

is added that the propagators of thisnewr
