To the uninitiaed observer, the presents Gu
rious aspect As each truck carries Just four bales
and as for every truck coming east there is one going
west as one truck laden appears the counterpart OF
every other; as between any two given truckmen
there IL no discernible distinction, the tyros first i'm

time thus disguise themselves and cart the same bales

fearful crime to remove all Of the staple which is
stored on the Hudson River side 70 the East
River side, and vice vera, every day of their
hves; that this must be what is denominated the
movement in cotton. Last of ALL one arrives at the
night conclusion, viz: that this movement is owing to
a lot of fellows known as specuators' whose entire
lives are spent in employment very ike the one last

WHO WOULD BE AN OLD MAIDp

| Many a thoughtless pert girl has asked this
question with curled lip and toss of her head,
us if she were sure she never would be one. In
many cases, at the time it was uttered the hand
writing has been upon the wall which fixed her
destiny Yes, many of this class have unwillingy
yielded their fate, and spent their days repnng
and fretting their early folly, and have died
repentng while Others fearful of the misconceived
notion that it was a disgrace, have plunged into
matrimony under circumstances from which they
would gladly have extricated themselves.
Pity that girls so thoughtless. AS a gener-
al rule, matrimony is the most natural, the most
suitable and the most happy condition of the sexes
But then there exceptions to this rule Ii is not
in the order of Providence that all should marry.
The lady who, from choice or conviction, elects to
remain single, does not place herself in position
to deserve the jibes and ieers Of either sex; and
when it is necessity, that very fact should shield
her from them. Besides, the purest, most disin-
terested and holiest of the sex have spent their
days in single blessedness. 1t is not position,
therefore. to be undervaued much less sneered
at. Without the responsibilities and peculiar trials
of the married state, most of them have shared
others burdens. Nor have We found them, as
class less happy, less contented or less useful than
others with the same amount of trial vexation.
Therefore, girls while we do not select single life
for you, beware of that foolish question-"Who
would be an old maid ?'-iSpt. Age.

a PRTsoNER's ETIQUETTE-A curious case of
prison etiquette recently occurred in Delaware A
number of prisoners broke Jail, and among them
one named Turner, under sentence of death
for rape. He called upon the Attorney General,
coolly seated himself in his Office, and informed
the gentleman that number of prisoners had
escaped, among them himself; that he was prepared
to go back again whenever he could be assured
that he would be safe in so doing. Several Of his
social companions had been discharged, and in
their stead woman had been placed in jail who
was afflicted with scarlet fever; he had formally
notified the deputy sheriff that if such conduct
was persisted in he would feel obliged to change
his quarters, and that receiving no satisfactory
evidence the part of the officers of the jail that
his grievances would receive attention, he had
thus avaied himself ofthe frstfavorable opportunity
Of giving practical turn to his indignation by
leaving the premises He did not care a straw
about the sentence of death hanging over him, but
he didn't want to catch the scarlet fever. The
escaped prisoner escorted back to his old
quarters.

FALSELY PACKED AND SANDY COTTON
Great complaint has been made of late on account
of the large amount of foreign matter packed in
the cotton shipped from most of the Southern
States. The Memphis Enquirer deprecates the
practice very much, and says:
An instance ofthis kind occurred the other day,
fifteen bales being returned from q Northern
manufactory, to the purchaser in this city The
bales are represented as having been plated to the
depth of six inches with fine cotton, the classifca-
ton for which they sold, while the great
bulk of them were poor cottons, imprcgnated with
sand, dust and trash. Such base conduct the
part of planter who would do anything of the
kind, or would allow it to be:done, if in his power
to prevent, ought, at least to subject him to the
severest penalty Of the law

To HAVE HENS LAY IN WINTER.-To be sure
of a good supply of eggs in winter, raise some
chickens early in the spring possible. The
pulets of these early broods will be large enough
to lay late in the fall and if they are supplied with
warm quarters, and besides being we'll fed with
grain, are allowed, occasionally, few scraps of
fresh meat thrown in to them, they will continue
often become quite prolific. Hen roosts should be
supplied with ashes, gravel, and pounded shells,
especially in winter, when the hens cannot procure
these articles elsewhere
