From the following, which we find in the Stockton

business leads to disastrous result among gamblers
as in everything else. There is nothing like ex-
elusive plata business:
few nights since, sucker appeared at of
the numerous monte banks in this city, and inqur-

The dealer looked up, and his eye rested on the
person of individual who was neither tall or short
we call him round for he would have measured
the same any way you took him-who stood looking
on the game, and who had just asked the question
He was quaint genius, for this world, and he
seemed to know it. His hair hung down in long
bristles, and his head looked for all the world like
Flat Head Indians; twas long, low rakish look
ing head, and stuck upon pair of shoulders that
seemed broad enough to sustain the Rhodian Colos-
sus. His body as large puncheon of rum,
and his legs resembled kegs of lard. pair of eyes
something like fly in plate of Goshen butter, dis
played a world of asarice in their twinkle as he
gazed upon the various piles of money; and he
there Stood the very shape of an interrogatory-
Yes, you may bet your pile" said the dealer.
Inc little big man hitched up his pants, and after
long search, excavated from the depths of his
paclous shirt bag containing his pile and sapping
it down on the cauallo, exclaimed
81 goes two ounces that, hoss.''
The cards were turned, and he lost. Again, and
he won The money fuctuated like the pendulum
Oh CLOCK, until the uealer concluded ne nau won
sufficient to the amount in the bag and conse-
quently prepared to weigh it.
While the scales were being adjusted, the little
man stood like pillar short pillarwith his lit

spread out before him. Fortune frowned upon him.

ready to crafty the curious proceeded to emp

vest-a general guaw broke the little mans reverie
rap the face broke his nose, when he broke fol

BAYOU SARA, Oct 13.-The weather is extremely
dry and the sugar the highlands has been greatly
injured by the drought. Grinding will commence
generally tomorrow.
CoTToN MIssIssIpPI.--The jackson MISSISSIPPI
plan of the 11th, says: 'The great drought we are
now experiencing, will cause the picking season to
be of short duration 1t is thought by some of our
planters that will end in many parts our upland
country in five or six weeks. The great loss to the
crop is in the shrivelled boil which have dried on
the stalk. A little rain few weeks ago would have
made great change for the planters interest We
have found the crop in Jefferson very poor. It is al
reported to be bad crop in Wilkinson and Clai-
borne. In Warren, the crop is better than e1-
pected"
" CROPS IN WISCONSIN The Fond du Lac Journal
says The crop in northern Wisconsin proves
to be very heavy This will in part compensate for
the partial failure of the wheat crop Potatoes
rotting in some localities but GENERALLY speaking,
the crop is good one"
The Concordia TnteIligencer of the 12th says this
is the most favorable for picking ever
ded The overfowed lands, with such fall that
of 1889, will yet yield as good crops the high of
places.

The Forest Rose.
dir" Lucy Long, sung rather slowly.
WORDS NJ DUFFIELD, OF JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI.
In wild grove, green and fairy,
Gay natures gala hall,
Mid bright buds bloomed my Mary,
The brightest bud of all.
Twas there I wood and won her,
Twas there we lived in love,
While round her, and upon her,
Flew the robin and the dove.
How many golden pleasures
Danced by on silken wing,
AS 'mong old wood treasures
My gentle wife would sing;
The birds would round her gather,
In envy of her song,
In that glad summer weather,
tuneful, merry throng-
To winters storm, stranger
Had been this grove, wild,
Till one came, bringing danger
To her, still quite a child;
Too happy thus united,
The icy missile fell,
My-Forest Rose blighted,
The loved so well.
There is a lonely bower,
Where the woodyine loves to creep,
And many dropping flower
In sorrow, seems to sleep.
IT'S sweet, but full of sadness,
Though soft the branches wave,
For there, oh thought of madness,
There is nay Mary's grave.

Since our last article uhder this head, we have
the Geographic adyices by the American steamer
Atlantic bringing dates from Liverpool to 25th of
September, and reporting further advance in that
market OF one-elghth OF penny with large sales
during the three days subsequent to the Cambria's
departure, giving additional confirmation of the
rectness of our views expressed in our previous
articles particularly in that of 18th September)
In which we confidently anticipated reaction and
advance in Liverpool directly the true state of the
crop was made known by the September steamers,
and the silly and exaggerated estimates. sent out
and circulated in Liverpool exposed by reliable
and truthful advices.
The effect of the accounts by the above named
steamers Cambria and Atlantic on our market here,
has been an advance of fve-eghts to threequarters
of cent, with pretty large sales.
In regard to the incoming crop, the accounts from
the country continue unfavorable and to the same
effect as mentioned in our paper of last Saturday
Persons who have come through the Atlantic States
during the present week state the large efficiency
in South Carolina and Georgia is fixed fact which
doubts. This efficiency is estimated as GER
tain to be 10000 bales in those two States, with
about o. 900 bales in Florida.
AS to Mississippi, louisiana and the country send
ing to this port it would really seem that we would
hardly be Justified in expecting much of an increase
The letters and accounts from the Southern and
more promising portion of the two former States,
continue to exhibit disappointed hopes OF the plan
ter and show, beyond doubt, that there must be an
early close of the picking in the upper and Northern
counties of Mississippi where the plant has, up to
the latest accounts, been poor and unpromisin g
The yield with the best of weather, must fall
considerably short of last and the season
is late this section of country, with North Alabama
and Tennessee, is exposed to FROST which could do
great harm Indeed, there are accounts now by
telegraph from memphis, received by several houses
here, stating that killing frost had occurred the
,5th and 9th, doing much injury to the Crop far
as heard from. In day or two will have more
full reports by letters and merely notice the
accounts.
Although reluctant to do so, offer esti-
mate of the incoming crop the following figures,
which, believe, will not vary much from the &C
tual result
