GUATEMALA COTTON! In our notice
some time since of Mr.. Weems' Gautema-
la cotton, we mentioned that when he eff
fected sale Of his last crop he would
hand US the account of sales of his COM
mission house, that we might see the price
il commands in the present depressed mar
ket. We have now before us Messrs.
Oakley & Hawkins account of sales for
the first ID bales shipped out of this crop.
The result is highly satisfactory as to the
standing Of the article. These gentlemen
sold ii bales of the Ii at 10 cts, and the
remaining two being a little trashy were
sold at cents. This sale was affected
Just previous to the arrival of the late To-
reign news, or it would have commanded
even higher price, being considered SUI
Perior to any cotton brought to the New
orleans market. 1t was also poorly GIN
neo' being cut and mapped, which made a.

A writer in the Charleston Mercury,
over the signature OF " MeFcator,s whose
entire article we would publish had We
room, shows, from a Congressional dOcu-
ment of last session, that the Southern
States, taking the Potomac, the Ohio riYer,
and the Missouri, as the Northwestern
boundary, produces grain 10 the enormous
quantity of 533 bushels 10 every soul with
in their limits, while the Middle Slaiei, IN
GLIDING Mary land, produce but twenty nine
and a quarter 10 each inhabitani, and the
States of New England produce but nine
and a half bushels to every inhabitsRg.
Thus, the South, independent Of our eighty
millions worth of cotton, our twenty mi
lions worth of tobacco, our two millions
worth of rice, produce more than i've
times as much grain as New England,
nearly twice as much as the Middle States,
and one-eiphth more than the great grain
States of The West. We produce OF In
dian corn alone nearly three hundred NIL
lions of bushels.
"Mercator'' contends that as the cottoa
crops have been for the last fifteen years,
they have nearly all been consamed-shal
the demand has carried of the supply, and
al the close Of he last season there vas
not excess of cotton on hand as legiti-
mately to produce the important and ruin
Gus effect on the prices OF the ensuing
crop that has occurred. AMercaior" then
asks--eWhy, then, has not the priee Of
cotton been maintained r. The answer
seems to be very plain. By our tariff laws,
says, he, our cotton cannot be exchanged
for the productions Of our chief customers,
who must by the law Of commerce, dictate
in their markets, the price Of cur cotton.
He contends. that the tariff laws Of ~ and
'26 throw down the price OF cotton 70 no
thing--that the compromise act Of 1888
Suddenly raised ii, and that the oppressive
act of 1912 has thrown down prices sui
lower than in 80 and '32. ~Mercasorr
repudiates the manufacturers cry from
Lowell, that our distress is 20 be ascribec
10 our over-producsion Of cotton, and coon-
sells resistance, as Of yore, 10 the unl0sl
and unconstitutional legislation which,
while II ruins the cotton planter, IS coin
Ling money for The British manufactures

ChOctaw COurtships---Priyileges of
SOuaWs;

Courtship is invariably begun by the fe-
male. If she fancies a young man, she
makes what is technically called the first ban
ter This is done by syly squeezing the
hand, or gently touching his foot at the
camp fire. If man should venture upon
any of these little prelminaries, without be-
ing sure of reciprocal Partially, the indg-
nant maid would Immediately assail him
with stick, and this would be the signal
for a general assault by all the squaws a.
round on the presuming dover, who, unless
he fled, would be beaten without mercy
Thus, even in this rude shape, does the wo-
man play the coquette The young squaw
who screams loudest and shows the most re-
sentiment at these unwarrantable liberties OF
an ardent lover, is set down as the Diana of
her tribe.
Giving the first banter seems to be re-
served by the woman as special preroga-
tive, and they seldom allow it to beinfringed
with mpuniiy-never in the presence OF a
third person.
This extends even to their dances, Cor the
squaw always selects her partner, and sends
the master of ceremonies after him, and he
is not permitted to refuse. 1t is at these
dances that Opponents of married women
with young warriors generally take place.
The woman slips out of the dance at mo-
ment when the confusion is greatest, and re-
pairs to point agreed upon, where she is
soon followed by her lover. They usually
remain in the woods three or four DAYS. and
when they return live as man and wife, with
out being molestcd Hence eIopements are
common.
The squaws have another privilege which
they often exercise. When one chooses a
partner for dance to whom another is at
tached, her rival closely watches them, and
at the first favorable opportunity, cuts in, or
in other words, cuts ont the other, leaping
into her place with the agility of fawn, and
the mortified danseuse must silently retire
from the circle
Old widows, we have ascertained, fire.
quently give the bantcrs before described
and IN many cases they marry young fellows
under iwenty-one. A squaw of certain
age if she has been thrifty, is generally pro-
vided with house and some other applian-
ces, and it is considered quite speculation
for young man to be supported by one OF
them for year or two. At the expiration
ofthat period, they are generally abandoned
for younger wife.

sYLVANUs l.. PEAsE, P. Master.

Here is another recommendation from wei
known captain OF ship which sails from Fair
haven, Massachusetts,.
Capt. Joseph Holley, (of the whale ship
Erie) says Browns Sarsaparilla and Tomato
Bitters, are invaluable TO all seafarine men,
They should never be without it. No medi
cine is like it, or half as good, in diseases which
sailors are liable to, particularly diseases brot
on by living a long time on salt provisions. |
have used it on my last voyage, and do know
from experience, on myself, that scurvy is al.
most immediately cured by it. Take my ad.
vice, and never go to sea without one dozen
bottles of Browns Sarsaparilla and Tomato
Bitters, being on board of your ship.

A Beautiful scene in Berkshire
County,

A few days since, l had the pleasure Of at
tending meeting Of rare occurrence, OIL an
occasion Of very peculiar interest 1t was
the fiftieth anniversary Of the ordination of
the Rev, Samuel Shepard, d. d., of Lenox,
(Mass) Although DR.. s. is now past the
age allotted TO man, threescore years and
ten, yet such have been his habits of mind
and of body, that he pronounced discourse
of an hour and half in length, which for
terseness, clearness, strength and pathos, is
seldom equalled. 1t win be remembered
that fifty years ago is great while. He was
then young, elastic, buoyant, in the fresh
ness Of hope; he was now AN old man, full
of years, full oflabors, and about to 90 to
his fathers full of honor, respect and love.

during the fifty years, Sl4, all of whom, ex-
cepting los, were admitted on profession
The whole number Of deaths in the whoIc
to,cn, during this period, is 953, being oneg
l37 more than have been received into the
church-a very remarkable fact No male
member of the church at the time of the or
dination is now living, and only two female
members, one aged 20 and the other 90
years. Members the church at the pres
ent time POI. Dr. Shepard has baptized
among his own people 969, of whom go
were in infancy. The Lords supper is
steadily celebrated once in three months,
and during all these years, out of the two
hundred celebrations, it has been omitted
but twice, and then in consequence ofthe i'll
health Of the pastor. Number of marriages
celebrated 273. 1t may be remarked that
Berkshire county is on the frontiers of N.
York; that the laws Of Massachusetts are
very strict as 10 the publication of "inten-
tons of marriage" sc. &C., while in New
York any body is married, and no questions
asked and consequently Gretna Green is so
near that probably the greater proportion of
marriages "run the line," and take place
within the limits ofN. York. The pastor of
the largest church in the county does not
marry three couples on an average year by
year! During his ministry, DIR. S. has
preached, on an average, at lesst four times
every week, or ten thousand sermons. He
has attended eighty-fye ecclesiastical coun-
ellis, while no council has ever been called TO
settle any difficulty among his people On

who were members Of the town, and married
at the time of his ordinsaion, and only one is
now living who took an active part in the
settlement of this pastor. He has lived to
baptize children Of the fourth generation of
those on the stage of life when he was or
dained. All around him, ministers have
been coming and going. Few, comparative
ly, of the audience gathered on this occa-
sion,were born at the time of the ordination.
But there was one striking exception. An
aged African was present; soldier for six
years under Washington, who carries an
honorable discharge signed by Washington's
own hand, and who fifty years ago, was pres
ent, and cooked the ordination dinner. It'll
was pleasant to see with how much respect
the old soldier was treated
