CoTToN IN ALGERIA.-rhe Moastea~ has
furnished the annual report of the jury of
seven appointed to award the annual prize of
10000 francs which the Emperor sccords from
his priyy purse as an encouragement tor the
cultivation of cotton in Algeria. The report
extends to three columns and half. In all
seasons, the quantity of cotton produced has
remunerated the growers. The jury decide
that the climate is not unfavorable. At the
end Of June last, the extent of ground under
cotton cultivation was about 1900 acres. The
natives of the provinces, at various points,
were among the successful planters. The
example OF the Americans in the Southern
States, as to the processes, progress, and per-
severance, is related enthusiastically. Tho
planters in Algeria have already comprised
two important objects in reference to compe-
tition with the American production like
quality, and equal yield in proportiou.-Pa

APPEARANCEs.-A coat that has marks of
use upon it, is recommendation to people of
sense; and hat with too smooth a nap and
too high lustre, is a derogatory ciTcum-
stance. The best coats in Broadway are on
the backs of penniless, broken down mer-
chants, clerks with pitiful salal les, and men
that don't pay up. The heaviest gold chains
dangle from the fobs of gamblers and gentle
men of very limited means costly ornaments
on ladies indicate to eyes that are well open, a
silly lover, or husband cramped for funds
And when pretty women goes by in suit
OF plain and neat apparel, it is sign that she
has fair expectations, and husband that can
show balance in his favor-N 7. Times.
