The strepsth Of HelpIessness.

Ben. +. Taylor, who seems TO be a sort of
monomaniac on domesticity, says in the
Chicago EUenigg Journal Sod.
The heart that never softens even to a
woman, may have little cleft in its rocky
grain large enough for child to cling in,
and make one think of delicate flower on
the breast Of a rugged cliff. How like cas-
ket for jewel does little coffin look to us;
we have no recollections of past helplessness
and lingering pain to alloy the thought, as
in the case of adults. There is some thing
humiliating in their trustful weakness, but
with children it forms one of the sweetest
charms. ... ........
The heart grows warm and large as we
look at them and the stout bachelor that
debted to the neighbors' children for keep
ing his humanity from rusting, then he will
be willing to confess. When children die,
they only attain maturity in a reader
way than by the tedious route of this mortal
living.
Even the inferior animals recognize the
helplessness Of childhood, with an instinct
finer than our own. In little book lying
upon the lower shelf at memory's eastern
edge, there is a story that every body knows.
1t Is Of an elephant in Delhi, or some other
of those glorious old places we used 10 dream
about, that got in great rage one day. and
rushed phrenzied through the market.place.
Booths, men, walls, nothing could stop
him, when all at once he came upon q child
that had crept exactly in his way; the huge
fellow stopped, and as gently as a mother
could do, lifted the child aside, and placed il
out Of danger. He saved the child, but he
would have orphaned it with blow.

Robert Burton is said, by Anthony Wood,
to have composed his AnctOmy in order to
divert his own "melancholy." In the inter-
walls of his vapors, he was the most facetious
companion in the university. When he felt
a depression coming upon him he used to
relieve his melancholy by going to the foot
of the bridge and listening to the coarse
failed to throw him into fit oflaughter.
The Comforts of Human life, by r. Heron,
was written in prison, under the most dis
tressing circumstances. The Miseries of H,E-
man LIFE, by Beresford, were, on the con-
trary, composed in drawing-room, where
the author was surrounded by all the good
things of this world. A striking contrast
will often be found TO exist between authors
and their works, melancholy writers being
usually the most jocular and lively in So
ciety, and humorists in theory the most
lugubrious of animals in practice.
Homer had such instructive aversion to
music, that it is reported he could not be
prevailed upon even to walk along the banks
ofa murmuriDg brook; yet tradition also
asserts that he sung his own ballads.
Seneca wrote in praise of poverty, on a
table formed of solid gold, with millions let
cut at usury.
SteTne was very selfish man; yet asa.

one time beating his wife, at another, vast

Young, whose gloomy fancy cast such
somber tinges on life, was in society & brisk,
lively man, continually pelting his hearers
with puerile puns. Mrs. Carter, fresh, from
the stern, dark grandeur of the Night
Thoughts, expressed her amazemeRt at his
fippancy. MADAM" said he, Hthere is
much difference between writing and talk.

The same poets favorite theme was the
nothingness of worldly things; his faYorite
pursuit was rank and riches Had Mrs.
Garter noticed this incongruity, he might
have added, "Madam, there is much differ

CLoUD-LAND Pictures. No landscape,
says the Chicago EVeniHg Journal, is so rich
in gorgeous scenery as the broad realms of a
round horizon. No monotony there to
weary heart and eye, but forever something
beautiful and forever something new.
What you dream of when your dreams are
widest, is realized in cloud; anvils with
horns OF ruby and platings Of pearl; feeces
of gold and names of tawny lions crags
r0ugh with diamonds; fields bathed in red
roses; windows of clear chrysolite; ladders
of silver precipiees of pearl, and lodges of
amber.
Some times, side by side, you may see the
pillar of fire that went before the .olden host,
and the faint wreaths of smoke from some
unseen cottage in air; a castle built by the
fingers of the wind, the gray stones rolled
up, the turrets edged with crimson; brazen
threshold radiant with the Day that stands
thereon, and smiles around the world.
You may see those towers turn into wings
fit for angelic wearing, and the bright lin
tells curved into swords with breath; the
pillar round into great white throne, and
the smoke change to spray Of red coral;
quarries of black marble, with veins of ala
baster meteor flags and white banners OF
peace.

he Question ''Is Cotton Kina'' Answered.
The New York Tribune remarks;

The basis Of the confidence manifested by
the Planting States in their ability to estab-
lish and maintain Southern Confederacy is
tersely embodied in the current political
phrase, "Uotton is King" These States
have hitherto enjoyed a sort Of monopoly
throughout the markets of the civilized
world as producers Of cotton, and have act
ually come to believe that they alone can
supply the demand. We are told that, by
simply refusing to sell to our manufacturers,
they can create general industrial and finan-
cial ruin, and thus coerce our couscienees
and intellects by an irresistible appeal to our
markets.
Nothing can be more fallacious. Leaving
out Of sight their own evident necessity to
sell, which is quite equal to our need to buy,
and assuming that, for the first time in the
history of commerce, money will cease TO
command its equivalent, this supposed mo-
nopoly is temporary and fictitious, and can
be speedily overthrown. Cotton has been
raised for ages in India, Persia, Egypt, the
West Indies, Japan, and Australia. No
country in the world is so favorable to its
growth as Africa. There, as we are told by
DR.. Livingstone, the American cotton-plant
is sperennial, grows wild in the most wonder
full profusion, and is cleared off as a nuisance
TO make room for the culture of vegetables
The present artificial pre-eminence of our
Planting States arises only from the fact that
there, for the first time, Anglo-Saxon energy
under substantial and pacific political insti-
tutions, has been applied to agriculture in a
climate capable of this product. Nor would
this alone have sufficed for under the pres
ent commercial and political union of free
and slave States, the ingenuity and intellect
of Northern mechanics have essentially con-
tributed to this result. Free labor has pro-
duced the cotton-gin, the spinning jenny,
and all the varied machines which have
rendered cotton practically available. In
1874 eight bags of cotton, shipped from
America to England, were seized there, on
the ground that SO much could not have
been produced in the United States.
At that time, the tedious labor of slave
for one entire day cleaned only a single
pound of cotton from the seed. But, in 1893
Eli Whitney-a Massachusetts, Puritan by
birth and Connecticut Yankee by adoption
invented the gin, which cleans 300 pounds
in day. The effect was magical. Southern
industry revived. Slavery renew ed its ex-
piring lease of life. An enormous produc-
ton followed, yet has scarcely kept pace
with the ever. growing demand. One hun
dred years ago there was not cotton shirt,
nor yard of cotton domestics in all Amer
ica. Now cotton fabrics are necessaries oi
life and enter into the clothing of every in
| diVidual.

NEW York, January 1.-THE TFi6une's
Washington correspondent asserts that pi-
ratical expedition is fitting out in this city to
seize California steamers. A schooner has
already been chartered in New Orleans to
proceed to the Isthmus, and await the de-
parture Of the steamer from Aspinwall, when,
hosting the Palmetto flag, she will seize the
steamers as prizes to South Carolina.
WASHINGTON, January l4.-Mr. Stewards
speech has had a decidedly soothing effect,
and is doing much good. Mr.. Crittenden
declares that it is in the right direction
patriotic and statesmanlike.
1t was announced to-day, that reinforce
ments will not be sent TO Fort Sumter, at
present, as they are not needed; but have
good reason to believe it to be the settled
purpose of the Administration to yindicate
the flag of the Union by sending as soon as
the Department can be properly arranged.
In the meantime, the chief difficulty is the
scarcity of war vessels.
Governor Pickens, of South Carolina, have
ing balance of $3, 900 due him, as late Min
ister to Russia, sent here for it. The Depart
ment adjusted his account by sending him q
draft on the Charleston Sub Treasury the
money in which has been seized by the State.
The Missouri Senators, Polk and Green,
addressed q mote to Secretary Holt, yester-
day, asking why the Sub Treasury at st.
Louis was guarded by United States troops.
Mr.. Holt replied that he would explain if
they called personally not otherwise.
A telegram from Col. Tod, in command of
Fort Monroe, in Mobile Bay, says he has
plenty of men, guns and ammunition to pre-
vent any hostile force approaching Mobile.
There is no confirmation here of the
Charleston rumor that Major Anderson pre-
posed to evaeuate the Fort.
The voluntary military organization of
this city, for its protection, is increasing
rapidly, and last night paraded, numbering
several hundred Union men.

The Art of AssassinatIOn in the Rternnl
City.
Edmrnd hoYIt saws.

Euuuuu AUOuI says
Our plebeian Romans have no more con.
tempt for an assassin than the Parisians have
for a man who has fairly killed his adver-
sary in duel. And, in fact, assassination,
as practiced here, is a real duel. When, in
the heat of discussion, men have come to
use certain words, they know that blood
must flow between them; war is implicitly
declared; the whole city is the field of
battle selected; the mob is the second ac-
cepted on both sides, and the contestants
know that they must be on their guard at all
hours of the day and night
The commc n people therefore, believe, and
it is not prejudice easy to uproot, that the
fight. Where does he 60 for refuge2 Not
very far. The city is full of asylums. The
embassies, the Academy of France, the
churches, the converts, the Tiber, are so
many sanctuaries, into which the law does
not penetrate. If man, when pursued,
threatens to commit suicide, the police are
bound to let him escape, that is why the
Tiber is an inviolable asylum. They are
afraid lest the accused should throw himself
into the water, and die unconfessed.
He who contrives to clutch the gown of a
monk is in safety, as if he clutched the horns
of the altar. The gensdarmes follow the
monk, and cry in tones of entreaty: "DeaI

The SPECIFIC ATTEMPTS TO DEFY FEDERAL
AUTHoRITY.-There have been ten specific
attempts to defy the authority of the Federal
Government since its formation:
% The first was in 1882, and was conspiracy
of some of the officers of the Federal army
to consolidate the thirteen States into
one, and confer the supreme power on
Washington.
The second was in 1887, called "Shay's In
surrecfion in Massachusetts
The third was in 1794, popularly called
"The Whisky Insurrection of Pennsylvania"
The fourth instance was in 1914, by the
Hartford Convention of Fsderalists.
The fifth, on which occasion the different
sections of the Union came into collision,
was in 1920 under the Administration of
President Monroe, and occurred on the ques
ton of the admission of Missouri into the
Union.
The sixth was a collision between the
Legislature of Georgia and the Federal
Government, in regard to certain lands
given by the latter to the Creek Indians.
The seventh was in 1920, with the Chero-
KEGS in Georgia.
The eighth was the memorable nullifying
ordinance of South Carolina, in 1892
The ninth was in 1885, on the part of the
MoImons, who resisted the Federal au-
thority.
And the tenth is the recent act of Seces-
sion by South Caro- a.
