MIXED BLooD-Countingb back only few gen
erations it has been found that everybody is related
to everybody. DIR. Phalfrey, in his work on
the relation between Judaism and Christianity
states that the increase in geometrical ratio of
the number of our ancestors ascend proves
that after some generations everybody is the des-
eendant Everybody. five say that there are twcn-
ty-eight generations in one thousand years, and
every man has on the average two children, who
ever lived one thousand years ago has now consid-
eTably more than fourth part of the estimated
population of the earth, even if there have been
no intermarriages among his descendants. These
course, there have been. DR.. Palfrey says:
'sYou and !, reader, have had more than thous-
and million progenitors suce the time of the Saxon
Heptarehy. Whoever you are, it is extremely
probable that the blood of Egbcrt of England and
of Egbert's meanest menial runs in the veins of
both of u.s."

CorroN-Boyds Polfc.-Mr J. Humphreys,
of Jefferson County, planted last May, by way of
experiment, two and half acres in Boyd's Prolific
Cotton, and has already gathered two bags; one
weighing J35, and the other AS pounds, leaving
still to he picked from 600 to 800 pounds of seed
cotton. The two bales were sold few days ago in
Monticello, at lO3 cents per pound-being about
half cent more than other cotton sold for on the
same day The purchasers pronounced it the
finest sample offered in the Monticello market
Mr.. H. thinks it would not do for one to plant
full crop of this sort of cotton. 1t opens freely
and hangs out so loosely in the bolls, that it re-
quires to be closely picked to save it from falling
out and being damaged. But he thinks that every
one would do well to plant of this cotton portion
of his crop, and from the experiment made, he
thinks it is admirably adapted to rich, damp soil
such places are known in plantation parance
us ''run in hammocks."
MrEppes planted this year l50acres of the Boyd
Prolific; the staple is better, and the yield greater
lie thinks he will make bag of from $50 to 500
pounds per acre. That will do for any country.

THE SONG OF THE "FINANcIER."

BY NICHOLAS BIDDLE, THE SECOND.
Give me a bank paper Bank.
The best machine for saving labor,
For who would toll and sweat himself?
When there's a chance to s,ceat his neighbor?
Away, now with your power looms,
Revolving Jacks and spinning Jennes;
CoatFiyanees for picking wool
Can't match the Banks for picking pennies.
"Ez Mill nihHyf IT." was once
A maxim much in vogue with some;
But few indeed can now maintain
That nothing can from nothing come"
For though the ancients could convert
Their gold to rags las we are told)
Yet we in times more civilized,
Can make from rags the best of gold.
All hail, then glorious alchemy,
That can from nothing something make!
What pity things created thus,
Their primal form are prone to take.
So let us have bank, my boys!
A fortune thus we all may win;
Like lilies of the valley live,
Who "toil not, neither do they spin
With paper, then, all debts we'll pay,
And should our credit e'er get low,
IT never comes amiss to say
s'The croaking Hards have made it So"
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1859-12-06

WIDOW MALoNEY'S PIG.

1t CHANGED on time that widow Maloney
Had fatted pig for herself and croney;
Now Patrick beheld it and thinking it nice,
Helped himself to the pig without paying the price.
But widow Maloney, enraged at the theft,
Complained to the Priest-not morsel was left.
So the Priest sent for Pat and lectured him sore,
Forbdding him ever to do the like more.
pat" said the Priest, "now what will you say,
When you meet that pig on the great last day p
Says Pat ''the pig will grow, yer honor, sure
And be twice as large it was before;
I'll say, yer honor, faith It's twice as big,
Here, widow Maloney, take back yer pig"

aiul Secretary and the Hudson's Bay Company
has resulted in Il total disagreement between the
,wo parties. The Imperial government refuses
to renew the license Of exclusive trade over the
Indian territories for term of twentr-one
years. The company, on its part, refuses 10 &C.
cr,'t renewal Of the lease for two years. but is
willing to accept renovation twenty-onc years,
the condition that, at any time, it shall be
4uired TO terminate its occupation Of these ter
rilurics on two years notice. To this proposal
Sir F.. B. I.ytton. on the part Of the government,
refuses to accede, on the ground that it would
be dangerous to leave it in the power Of the
government to confirm or continue the lease for
twcnty-o years, while the greater questions
