THE CHuRCH OF SCorLAND--The following
is given by the Scotsman as an estimate OF the
emoluments surrendered by the Clergyman
who seeded from the Church ofScotland
"The stipend in the lowest class of livings in
our established Church, is El5S 6s Sd ; and
the manse and gebc being valued on an aver
age at cal lbs. 4d., the poorest benifcence is
worth GOO (or $1,000 per annum. Where
the teinds tithes) are exhausted and do not yield
fl5S Is. Sd, the deficiency is supplied from
the Exchequer, There were 1876 out. parishes
where the TENDS were exhausted, but yielding
f225, including manse and glebe; and I70 par
ishes, with free tiends, yielding about G2s2
The average ofS12 livings paid from tlends and
Exchequer grants was f257, including manse
and glebe The value of the livings in town,
which are paid from taxed seat-rent, or burgh
funds, may average about f2J0 per annum.
These data being promised, the incomes given
up may be estimated as follows:
267 parochal ministers at c270 each, f72, 900
II parliamentary ditto, whose stipend
we believe is fl20, 2,OiO
! Il assistants, say eco, 1920
| l65 quad sacra ministers, say Gl25, 205UO
| professors, say GlOO, 6U
COZ ,33C
The aggregate incomes surrendered may
| therefore be estimated in round numbers, Al
/ GlO0OO0, which is two ihhs of the whole re
venue of the Church. The average for escl
OF the 400 individuals is r2O7. Many of Sc
ccdiug Ministers are among the best paid il
the establishment"

SONNET.

Oh, she was good as she was fair,
None, none on earth above her!
AS pure in thought as angels are,
To know her was to love her.
When little, and her air, her voice,
Her every feature said rejoice,
Her coming was gladness-
And as she grew, her modest grace,
Her downcast look, twas heaven to trace,
AS, shading with her hand her face,
She half inclin'd to sadness.
Her voice, whate' er she said, enchanted,
Like music to the heart it went,
And her soft eyes how eloquent!
Ask what they would, twas granted.
But she is dead-to us-to all
Her lutte hangs silent on the wall;
And on the stairs, and at the door,
Her fairy step is heard no more;
At every meal an empty chat:
Tells them that she is not there.

GENERAL TAYLoR.-In the !" Banner'' of the 18th ulto. an article was copied from the "Arkansas Intelligencer,' severely censuring the conduct of General Taylor. The follow ing retraction, of the charges then made, ap- pears in the 'sIntelligeneer' of the 25th ulto. We gladly give place to it:
 g. Gen. Z. Tayzor.-In our number of the 11th inst. we stated that Mr. Wore applied to the commanding General at Fort Smith, for command to < aid him in capturing the murderers of his parents" and that said re- quest was refused him. Also, that Gen. Tay- Tor .stook some 10 or l2 men to guard his per- son from Fort Smith to Fort Gibson.''
 It is not our intention to abuse the mind of the public, or our wish to do injustice to a gallant soldier; we, therefore, most cheer fully correct our statements as above.
 Mr. Wore did not apply to the commanding General at Fort Smith for assistance. He made the application at Fort Gibson, and he was refused. and referred to the commanding General at Fort Smith. Our informant was mistaken respecting the Fort where the ap- pllcatlon was made.
 We are informed, and have no reason to doubt it, that Gen. Taylor did not take 10 or l2 men to guard his person to Fort Gibson. The guard was to protect Major Hunter, the Paymaster, and his funds The General merely went in company with the Major.
 In all our statements respecting the public functionaries and others, we shall confne ourselves strictly within the bounds of truth. We stand ready, at all times, to be corrected when we err.
 Those editors. who published our article respecting Gen. Taylor, are requested to give this an insertion.

OBITUARY.

DIED, at Memphis, Tennessee, on Wednesday morning, 18th November, 1913, Mas. ELIZA H. FINLEY, wife of Major J. J. FINLEy-representa- tive of the Crtenden district in the Senate of Ar kansas.
 This death creates void in the family circle and in society, which can never be adequately filled inficts a wound upon the hearts of survivors which Heaven alone can heal.
 Intelligence of this sad event has filled our mind with retrospect of the deepest and most painful in- terest Our memory recurs to the time, some eight years back, when we first knew the subject of this notce-a bright and beautiful girl and next to the period just five years since, when we stood by and saw her-a blooming and happy bride-give her heart and hand to one who endowed with all of mind and heart which man may respect and woman love, was worthy of her trust,-to him who is now bowed down under the heaviest of human bereavements We have observed her wife, mother daugh- ter, sister, and friend and have admired and loved her. for the exemplary discharge of all her duties She the youngest of three sisters-all pure ot heart and lovely of person but of health too fragile to bear the cares of life They have all died within two short years. She was the last of them We mourn her loss as of one of our own family May the God of mercy sustain the hearts of the ereaYed vivors-her infant children her noble hearted hus- band, her venerable mother.
 In the first number of the paper it was first oul fortune to edit had the pleasure of recording hel marriage; while now, our first number bears the las sad and feeble tribute pay to the worth of oul departed friend.

To the Editor of tue .arkansas Banner:

DEAR SlR-The frequency with which l find my name mentioned in the Gazette, as one that will probably be brought before the Democratic State Convention, attracts now, and for some time past has attracted, my at ton. The public, no doubt, is impressed with the idea that l am desirous to obtain the nomination of the party for Congress.
 To this impression, in all my private con- versatlons, have repeatedly endeavored to put stop, by most unequiyocal disclaim- CT; but my efforts have been unsuccessful
 l now find that my name is fast becoming public property, without my consent, and against my will; and that 1t may cease, l now make this statement (which l was de- sirous long since to have made, but was pre- vented by the advice of several of my friends, ) that my name will not be brought before the State Convention for any office to which they have the nomination, with my consent: That know well my own qualifications, aid that there are others, whose names have been mentioned in connection with the member ship for Congress, to whom, without hesita- tion, yield the palm; and further, that could obtain the nomination for Congress, which my self estimate forbids me for a moment to suppose, l should refuse to permit my name to be presented, and fully express tc the con- vention my disapprobation of their judg- ment
 This declaration will, trust, satisfy all such writers as are candid seekers after truth; and now express the hope, tha, all such will leave me where am, private citizen, seeking no office in the gift of the people or the State.
 In conclusion will add, that though in common with every other person, l may have preference among the probable candidates, yet will support the men selected by the convention, be they who they may, and with. out reference to sectional or personal con- sideratious.
 f aft, tseff-j+ seffy respect fully Sir,
 your most obedient servant.

THE CoTToN CRoP-So far as we have been able to learn, the Cotton crop through out the country, will turn out to be much shorter one than was anticipated in the earlier part of the season. This result is owing. in great degree, to the unprecedented amount of wet weather, during the fall There have been, comparatively, very few days of weather suitable for picking out the crop; and still fewer suitable for drying 1t, after it has been picked out. The inevitable consequence, of these unfavorable circumstances, has been that immense quantities of Cotton have sprout- ed and rotted in the fields; and much of that which had been housed, has been.greatly in- jured.
 These are certainly facts. in relation to the crop in the Western portions of Tennessee and Mississippi, and throughout Arkansas; and we have no doubt the mischief has ex- tended to most, if not all, of the Cotton country If the crop be, thus, diminished, to the extent we appfehend, the price must be considerably increased.
