In tho South ern States tbe term Bourbon Imm no distinct significance. It is ap plied indiscr minutely by nil classes of politicians to anybody who dif fers with them. It is there a con- vcniciit though empty epithet or name of reproneb. Every politi cian insists that his party is the party of progres, of improvement —tlie representative and embodi ment of the only idcaB by which society can exist or civilization be maintained; and he is of course cn titled to stigmntizo his opponents ns Bourlions. The word is a sham or burlesque weapon in tlio South, and is used there by everybody in political wrangling, “for all it is worth.” As to the Southern mon who compose the "class to" which the name is usually applied to say that, aside from political matters, they aro mnch like our people, or like tho best people .in our North ern communities. They do not ap pear to love what is wrong for its own sake, nor to prefer falsehood, baseness, cruelty, or injustice to tlie virtues and good qualities which arc elsewhere revered by good men. They are amiable, truthful, conscientious, kind, pub- lie-spirited nnd religious, resem bling very»closely tlio foremost men in our New England towns in all the important elements of per sonal character; differing only, in general, in being more communica tive and having less reserve than is usually among New Englanders. As to their political action,it seems to me to have been for some years largely inevitable; tlie necessary product and result of the peculiar conditions of life nnd society in tlie South since civil war. It does not appear to have been owing to sheer depravity on their part, nor to any choice or agency of theirs, Hint there was for some years a disturb- eras of tjic South, and seriously address itself to their solution. In studying the Bourbons I have been forced to conclude that noth ing lias yet been attained anywhere much better than the domestic life of this clas* of the Southern people, in its intelligence, refinement, benu- ty and general clevatiqn nnd wliole- someness. The Value of tlio Cotton Need Crop. From tha Balt Inn** Hun. The cotton boll, as brought in from tlie field, is one-tliird lint nnd two-thirds seed. For every hale of cotton weighing 500 pounds sent to market, 1,000 thousand jiounds of seed were formerly left around tlie "gin house to rot, or nt best to be hauled out over tho plan tation as a fertilizer. Ten yeais ago other use for it was scarcely dreamed of. Now it is known to contain a large number of valuablo constituents, and new develop ments of utility are constantly be ing brought to light. A corres pondent of the Sun shows that in tlio last two years over fifty mills have sprung lip for the manufac ture of the seed into the various I to take such vast periods up into' products for which there is a largo thought.-:—Thiladtlyhia Jtoenimj and increasing demand. A notable > Star. effect of the new industry lias been an advance in the price of cotton seed within the year past from six to twelve dollars a ton. This means, of course, for cacli hale of cotton nil additional profit to the planter of six dollars. From the 1,000 pounds of seed, costing six dollars, the manufacturer gets about ITjj gallons of oil, worth to day forty cents a gallon, while the residuum cake is considered more vahinhlo ns n fertilizer than the seed from which it is made, and sells for as much as the seed costs.
