The last word of progress is a medical ver

modesty has screen and itself from the days of
Eve. It is asserted that veils weaken and

more injurious are they, while some of the
gaudier colors obtain pigments that are posi
tively deleterious.
Judge Wilson, of Indiana.is reported to have
said that he declined to run for Congress
again ‘'because he had got tired of investiga

Iris intima'ed from Washington that Grant
is the real cause of the troubles between Sec
retary Belknap and Gen. Sherman. In other
words, the President insists on being the active
Commander-in-chief of the army, and issues
his orders through the War Department with
out rec ignizing Sherman's existence. If the
office of general is a superfluous sinecure, cost
ing the people some eighteen thousand dollars
a year, it should bo abolished.
The new government of the District of Co
lumbia has begun business under extremely
4fliscouraging circumsta io«. It lias found that
about all of the apj ropriation bv Congress will
be required to pay llirt debts due on the first of
the present month. What is to become of the
District dues for the rest of year, Messrs.
Dennison, Ketcham and Plow will probably
have no difficulty in determining, as they have
no power to raise money for any purpose what
ever.
We are informed by the Washington Chroni
cle, which knows, that "all the departments
worked p etty hard to pass upon claims and
other matters, so as to exhaust all the appro
priations allowed and prevent unexpended bal
ances from being coveted into the Treasnty,”
which leads us to reflect upon the awful re
sults which would necessarily follow if the in
genuity of the departments had not been aide
to devise any moans to find claims enough on
which to spend all the money.
According to the Milwaukee correspondent
of the Chicago Times, Senator Carpenter, on
his arrival home, received a most enthusiastic
greeting from a dozen Itadieal politicians, who
escorted him to the Newliall House, where ho
was afterwards visited by twenty-five citizens
(how very particular the correspondent is in
his numerals)! Asa sort of spectacle to the
ceremony, a military company called the Light
Guards consented to perform extraordinary
escort duly for the eonri leration of SIOO paid
down.
Discussing the prospects of the various
Presidential candidates, the Chicago Tribune
thinks that since the inflation veto disposed of
Morton. Speaker lilaine has no dangerous rival
inside the Republican party, unless Grant him
self may bo considered as such. His success,
the Tril/u/u says, depends entirely upon the
Republican pasty, sinco ho has no strength
savo as a party man. and the question is,
‘•whether tlio parly will fall into a minority in
the whole Union before it gots a clianeo to vote
for Biaine.”
The votoran editor of tlio Boston Advertiser
says the pic-nic is cheap, healthful, brief ami

to swing and ronqi, to sail and gather lilioH, or
stroll and pluck clover blossoms, to sit on (lie

home-made cookies and spoil e eako, and to
drink spring water weakly flavored with lemon
Juico, or with no flavor hut that it gains from
tlio earth and stonos and mosses through
which it percolates to tlio surface.”
Under tlio head of “Custer and Thieves,”
tlio Chicago Times says of tlio present expedi
tion to the country of the Sioux: “That there
will be war, there can scarcely boa doubt. Tlio
Humx are a warlike people, who know their
rights, and will not hositato to die in defending
them. It iH said that already a very formidable
force of Sioux are in arms to dispute Custer’s
jiassago. Tlioro is not one person living, pos
sessed of generous impulses, who knows right
from wrong, who will fail to wish succoss to
these people, now in arms to defend tliemsolves
against a scandalous attempt to violato their
territory and to destroy thoir rights.”
Crop statistics o South Carolina show that
in twenty-three out of thirty-two counties there
is a decrease in tho cotton area, ami an infe
rior cotton prospect as compared with 18711,
but they also show a largo area and a prospect
for grain, with a general falling off in the use
of commercial fertilizers. Tlio area in cotton
is nine per cent, less than in 1873; tlio area in
grain twelve per cent, greater, ami the de
crease in the use of commercial fertilizers is
equal to twenty-seven per eont. Tho cost of
labor is about the same as last year, but with
an upward tendency.
Barton, tho and biography writer
very recently charged the reporters of the Now
York papers present at tho recent execution of
a murderer at Morristown, New Jersoy. with
being drunk ami writing false ami scandalous
accounts of tho torriblo affair. The Tribune
managers, immediately upon their publication,
investigated those charges, ami denounces
them false in every particular, the editorial
concluding with this paragraph, both pungent
ami severe: “ What a great thing it would bo
for (lie world if preachers would only listen oc
casionally to their own sermons. Mr. Barton.
f6r instance, closes this highly inaccurate
sketch with tho frank confession: ‘lt is
we * * * who need to relearn the lesson
which tho ages reveal to us. that truth is in it
self a sacred and a precious thing.’”
Tho tierce, vindictive spirit of tho women
who wore connected moie or loss directly with
tho Communist atrocities in Baris, was mani
fested in a singular manner as late as three
weeks ago. A woman whose brother—a Com
munist had been sentenced to hard labor for
lifo. sought and obtained charge of a school
conducted by the Sisters of St Vincent do Baul.
“Her first caro on entering upon her duties
was to destroy all the religions emblems about
the place, and she then made the children
dance in the rliapejjto the tune of the 'Mar
seillaise' and to the retrain of 'Vive la Kepub
l'que." The woman refused to make any de
fense. and she was sentenced to a year’s im
prisonment What "a weird light does tho trial
throw on tho social animosities of 'beautiful
France!’"
Minister Jewell will probably make a fair
Postmaster General. His fall has been sof
tened obviously by the tender of the office. It
will bo remembered that not long ago he wrote ,
a letter from St. Petersburg giving details of j
private life at that Capital, anything but be- i
fitting the reticence of the representative of a !
foreign government. Others have written the j
same kbid of go:-s!p before him. but they took
goal earo that the manuscript should not see
the Hgt until after their removal from their
post. Minister Jewell was less fortunate, and
his wise lucubrations could not but have given :
offense to Russia. We are unfortunate m our (
representatives abroad, and if tho country is
neither to be distinguished among nations by
its diplomacy, nor at home by i:s statesman

A compromise between cremation and inhu
mation is proposed in Germany by Dr. Yen
Steiubeis. whose plan is “to cover the body j
with Roman or Portland cement, which hardens
into a solid mass and renders ;lio escape of
noxious gases impossible. According to this
plan the corpse Would bo placed in a sarcopha
gus of already hardened cement, the cavity in
which it reposed would be filled up with the
same material, aud both would harden together
into a thick slab of a substance resembling
stone. Thus the deceased buried iu this man
ner would rest within instead of under his
tombstone, and grave and m uniment would be
comprised in the same block of imitation gran
ite." Tlie only objection to this plan lies iu its
wastefulness of fertilizing material: but. per
contra, there might be a certain consolation in
founding one's house literally on one’s ances
tor’s by enclosing them in blocks of proper
size to be used as building materials.
The foolishness of the lloyal Institution of
British Architects has been very properly re
buked by Mr. Rnskiu. The London A- >rs says:
“The arcliitects have been in the habit of an
nually nominating for their roya! gold medal
some distinguished person: and Her Majesty
has. for twenty-seven years, assumed the gra
cious office of conferring this decoration. This
year the members of the institution bethought
themseives of Mr. Raskin; Her Majesty was
pleased to approve of their choice, and Mr.
Ruskin was duly informed of the fact. But.
behold. Mr. Ituskiu. to the dismay ®f the archi
tects. most civilly hut firmly declined the offer.
This step seems to have wholly startled the
Council out of its ordinary equanimity. An
urgent letter was addressed to Mr. Ruskin. rep
resenting the extreme embarrassment which
would be caused by his rejection of Her Ma
jesty’s favor : but to that, letter no answer had,
up till Monday, been returned. The President
then wote to Sir Thomas lUddulph, asking
what should be done : and the. Council ex
pressed iu the strongest manner its 'deep re
gret at the most unprecedented occurrence in
the anuals of that or any other British institu
tion.'* *
The Cotton Crop.
[Macon Star.]
The cotton buyers anil their organs
have already commenced their annual
labors to persuade the public that the
prospects of tho growing cotton crop
are of the brigliest; that the number of
acres planted in cotton this year is little,
if auy, smaller than that of previous
years, and that we may confidently ex
pect a very large crop—at least four
million bales. How far these exaggera
ted accounts may influence “futures”
we do not know, or care, but they
should not be allowed to go abroad un
contradicted, to the injury of the plant
ers. It is notorious that the cotton
acreage of 1574 is smaller by fully twen
ty per cent, than that of 1872 or 1873,
and that the crop is fully three weeks
behind the growth and strength it has
usually attained at this season of the
year. All reliable reports from the dif
ferent cotton raising States confirm this
belief. It cannot be expected that the
cotton planted in the latter part of June
on the overflowed lands of Arkansas,
Mississippi and Louisiana will produce
much more than half a crop. Taking
into consideration this fact, the dimin
ished area in cottoD, and the lateness
and small growth of the crop, even
should it escape all the dangers to
which it is still exposed, it is next to
impossible that the total production will
exceed two and a half to three million
hales. False reports, and the inten
tionally erroneous calculations of in
terested parties, may succeed in tem
porarily depressing prices when the
market opens, but the planters this
year can afford to hold, because they
are not in debt, and consequently com
pelled to sell at any price, as in former
years, and they can thus wait until
buyers are willing to give them the true
value of their cotton.
Caterpillars in Alabama.
We learn that there is unmistakable
signs of the existence of the caterpillar
in tins neighborhood. It seems, too,
that they are fast appearing in the same
localities where they were first seen last
year. We are informed they appeared
last year, first on the plantation of Mr.
Itichard Allen, some two miles east of
this placo, and they reappeared here
some two days since. We understand
that Mr. Allen will commence the use
of the proper means to destroy them.
He is one of our most intelligent, ener
getic ami successful planters, and if
their approach can l>e arx-ested, it will
be by him. If all our planters were like
Mr. Allen, we would anticipate a fair
crop of cotton, in defiance of caterpil
lars. —Jlemopolis A'ews.
The Montgomery Advertiser, of the
Bth, hears similar complaints from Mont
gomery and Lowndes counties, and sug
gests to planters that they* follow the
example of Mr. Allen and commence ap
plying worm destroyer at once.
Cotton Caterpillar in Florida.
The Tallahassee Floridian, of the 7th
instant, says this pest has made its ap
pearance in the northern part of that
(Leon) county. It adds:
Os course they have not yet appeared in
sufficient number to cause alarm, but
their appearance at all in the smallest
number may indicate the coming of
myriads and the general destruction of
the cotton crop. Last year tho first
worms were seen on the 24th of May,
but cotton was then much earlier than
now, and by the middle of July the crop
was eaten out on, some plantations and
seriously injured on all.
Unfavorable Cotton Retorts from
Southwestern Georgia.— A correspon
dent of the Telegraph and Messenger,
writing from Camilla, Mitchell county,
July Bth, says of the cotton crop : The
seasons thus far have been very un
favorable for cotton, as the stands were
very imperfect. We have had entirely
too much rain for the early growth of
cotton, and oven now we have too fre
quent rains, developing flare worms,
hole worms and rust, and there is seri
ous apprehensions of caterpillars soon,
though there is no appearance of them
yet. We. know that the rust is injuring
the cotto i in various parts of our coun
ty. The cotton acreage being smaller
in this county this year than last, we do
not anticipate a very large crop of cot
ton, neither do wo think the prospect
very flattering. But the crop has been
doing well, iu view of the above state
of facts, and we hope to make enough,
at least, with fair prices in the Fall, to
settle up old scores and buy a few family
supplies.
Just a Few Words for the Babies.—
In July and August the baby becomes,
or ought to become, a point of public
interest. When it becomes the victim
of bad ventilation, uncleanliness, or in
digestion, it is a matter of deliberate
cruelty. The Now \ork Tribune, in
discussing the subject, says: “Wash
ing might be called the basis of a baby’s
salvation through teething; a thorough
sousing of the little body in plenty of
cold water every morning, and when the
weather is extremely hot a tepid sponge
hath at night; wasliiug, too, constantly
of all clothes and cloths used by the in
fant, to afford it perfectly clean gar
ments at all times. Whatever milk he
given should be thoroughly sweet and
cool; infants under two years should be
restricted in their diet to milk, oatmeal
mush or gruel carefully prepared, and
beef broth or minced raw beef in small
quantities. An infant never cries un
less when hungry, hurt or siek, and
through these perilous two months the
helpless little creatures require not only
the skillful care of a wise mother, but
the brooding love of the most tender
one.” If they do fret and cry (the
editor says) against the discomforts and
pains of a world into which they came
without a choice, and which shows them
just now its roughest side, what wonder.
Homicide in the Good Hope Section.
—On Saturday afternoon last, about
nightfall, .Tulin Goggans, an old man,
with eight or nine children, living in the
Good Hope section (a little above Bich
ardsonvilie), was shot and instantly
killed by a young man named Jack
Smith, of the same section. Smith had
wished to buy certain land lying near
himself, and also near Goggans ; hut
cash was detnatmed for the same, and
Smith, not having ensh, could uot make
tiie purchase. Goggans, however,
bought tlie said laud and paid for it.
This was the cause of grudge. On the
evening of the shooting Goggans went
into his wood yard, which, although on
his own land, was across the road from
his house. This laud joined Smith’s,
aud near at hand was a negro shanty be
longing to the latter. While Goggans
was in his wood yard Smith entered,
and, words arising, Smith drew a pistol
and shot Goggans dead. One account
says that Goggans, upon Smith calling
him for a second time a damned liar,
advanced upon tlie latter. Another ac
count says lie made no such advance.
Goggans, we are informed, was totally
unarmed. Smith made his esostpe on
horseback.— Edgefield Advertiser.
Ii.ui.KOAD Second-Hand Ticket Brok
erage.—A new and thrifty trade seems
to have lately sprung up in various parts
of the country iu the shape of selling
railroad tickets at second-hand. It is
said there are now some forty offices in
this country where tickets over auy road,
leading from the city in which the office
is located, may be bought at rates lower
than the company’s. No partiality is
showD. This is how it works, tickets of
every road being on hand : A person iu
New York wishing to go to Cincin
nati can buy a ticket for S'it). Because
of competition, a ticket from New Yo; k
to Chicago, via Cincinnati, can be had
for §2'2. The fare from Cincinnati to
Chicago is §9. Suppose the Chicago
ticket is purchased, the holder of it is
not compelled to visit Chicago. On
reaching Cincinnati stops. He has
paid out §2 more than he need to have
done, but he has in possession a ticket
which at any time will take him to Chi
cago, and which is thus equivalent to
§9. An office in Cincinnati will pay him
§7 for this ticket, and await a purchaser
at §B. Again, tickets are often purchas
ed at the offices of railroad companies,
which, for unforeseen reasons, are not
used, and these come in to swell the
business of the brokers’ offices.
English Capital Flowing Into the
South. —Since several of the Southern
States have exempted capital invested in
the development of their internal re
source's from taxation, Northern and
foreign capital has begun to find profita
ble investment there. Many companies
have been formed to develop the rice
fields of South Carolina, the forests of
Florida aud Georgia, aud to manufac
ture the raw cotton adjacent to the plan
tations. The English co-operative asso
ciations, we learn from our exchanges,
are looking Southward for fields of profit
able investment, and one company of
Euglish co-operative rice planters, with
a capital of two million dollars, will soon
begin operations near Charleston. —Few

What Are Comets ?—Professor East
; man, cf the National Observatory, says
that comets are “nothing more than at
tenuated gas,” aud this is only a fourth
rate comet at best; and its nucleus or
j head is “so attenuated that if reduced
I to a ball of solid matter, you could
! probably, hold it in the palm of your

We invite attention to the advertisement

found fully eqnal if not superior to
those Northern and Western manufac
ture.
The Rush Commencing.— lt has com
menced, and is rolling in a volume like
an ocean tide—the rush for tickets for
the fifth and last grand gift concert of
the Public Library of Kentucky. Every
body knows that this is the last concert
which can be given, and everybody
knows, too, that there will be $2,500,0(K)
in cash distributed to the ticket holders,
and nobody wants to he last in securing
a ticket when such prizes of §250,000,
8100,000, 875,000, §50,000, §25,000, five
of §20,000, &e., Ac., are to he distributed.
There is no time to trifle—all talk is
business.
The “Gentleman in Black,” who is the
tutelar demon of dram shops, assumes
his sourest aspect when the rapid pro
gress of Vinegar Bitters is reported
“down below.” The people's vegetable
tonic is playing the mischief with his

which those demoniac nostrums aggra
vate, under pretense of relieving, such
as indigestion, sick headache, constipa

SELF-QEFENSE.
TO A CRIMINAL NEGLECT OF PRE
ventive medication may be ascribed a majority
of the ailments which affect humanity. It is a
well ascertained fact, resting on the experience
of twenty years, that a course of Ho-Aetter’e
Stomach Bitters will pat even a naturally feeble
system in such a state of defense that it will
he competent to resist the most prevalent
causes of disease, such as the malign influence
of miasma, unwholesome water, excessive beat,
damp. cold, sudden changes of temperature.
Ac. Yet there are thousands of persons living
in perpetual peril from one or moro of these
causes, who recklessly omit to avail themselves
of the absolute protection which this famous
vegetable antidote affords. Intermittent and
bilious remittent fevers, rheumatism, general
debility, nervous wi akness and irregularities of
the stomach, bowels and liver, would be com
paratively unknown if this palatable specific
were in universal use iu the districts where
they principally prevail.

COTTON REVIEW.
The usual Summer dullness prevails in our
cotton market and we have but little to report
concerning either the condition or transactions
during the week. Thera has been some little
fluctuations iu prices, resulting in a decline of
J@sc. in the course of tho week. There has
been no general demand: that existing was
indeed very limited and confined to but two or
three buyers. The receipts are very light and
show a lallmg off when compared with those
for the same period last year
Below we give a resume of the week, show
ing the condition of the market each day:

PRODUCE review. •
There has been no perceptible change in our
grocery and provision market since last review.
Business, in consequence of the scarcity of
money, continues .very limited in all channels.
Bacon is iu rather light supply with a good de
mand at an advance on last week’s figures.—
Grain—Wheat is less active and lower, offerings
moderate. Corn rema ns steady and unchang
ed, demand fair. Flour is rather quiet and
during tho past ten days a decline has taken
place in the price of both city and Western
brands. Light country produce is in moderate
demand at former quotations. Domestic
cotton goods are without change and in fair de
mand.

WEEKLY cotton review.
In market for cotton on spot there has been
continued and steady decline in values of
classes at reduced prices. There has been
rather more doing on opening account, but no
export business whatever. Shippers aro not
in market, aud prices will have to go decidedly
lower to induce business from this source.
In futures speculative demand has not been
very brisk, and at times there was a marked
absence of prominent operations. The bull
movement-haH enrirelv subsided, and there is
very little to obstruct the downward tendency
of prices. Total sales during the week, 98,460
bales, of which 94.500 were on contracts, and
366 for immediate delivery, chieflv on spinning
