k1That mythical character-the IN
known author of Carbohydrates
mask no one has yet succeeded in peeping
behind, and whose personality is as mystic
rious as that of Junius, the Stat Nomia1s
Um6ra of all time-has, we learn, new
novel, ready for the press, entitled "The
Sntherlands,r which will be published by
Messrs. Rudd 8 Carleton, of New York
If the success of an authors first book be
q criterion for second, "The Sutherlands"
will reach circulation of more than TWEEN
~ thousand copies, and still fall short Of
that attained by "Rutledge."

CoTToE IN KAssAs.-Entirely successful
experiments have been made in cotton rails
ing at Baldwin and at Prairie City, Kan
sas. One man has quite crop, which he
expects to turn into $500 cash. At Mon
rovia, Kansas, cotton bias also been raised
ia perfect boil and beautifully white in lint
Whether the supplies from the South remein
cut of or not, il is the determination of
many Kansas farmers to devote few acres
to cotton culture next season, and there is
no doubt it can be made as profitable as
other crops.-Hissoayi Democrat.

ey- The Louisville Journal says that a
Confederate Treasury note has made its
way into their eanctum. 1t says;
1t is No. AZ, TIL, and of the denomination
of FIVE dollars, payable ten years after date,
fuudable in Confederate State stock bearing
8 per cent. interest, and receivable in pay
ment of all dues except export dues. The
engraving is execrable and the paper is
common cap of inferior quality. The Wig
nette is sailor leaning on a capstang the
significance of which we presume is that he
is about to "haul taut" on the anchor of
hope. We are told that this scrip is as
plenty around about Bowling Green as dead
leaves in the forests, aud about as yalueless.

More About the ZomAvss.

DKAR GArE: ThA Zouaves are class Of
gfegarious bipeds, OF the 6rss order. The
meaning Of the word 10 doubtful, but the
ancient root signifies total absence OF oil
fear, and . corresponding supsr6uisy Of
"muscuile," As you say, their habits are
few and simple. They eat iii they can,
sleep oil they can, dress ~ we'll ~ they oan,
and even sing MISUNDERSTANDING up on
that sublime operssic chorus, 90, give me
back those Is cents, or any other is censs
that you may happen to have lying around
loose among ynur cIothins.n In addition,
they have their hair cut very short and have
the tops Of their heads ssndpapsred and
polished, and two coats Of "eggshell var
nish" applied daily. They arc . very
"gslyanV set Of boys, and designate each
other frasernally by the name Of "Ssrdine -
Each member 10 forced to utter limited
number OF falsehoods diarnally, 50 as to
make proficient sspickets" and advanced
"oot-Iysrs, "--a thing entirely 10 aocordan
with the zouave tactics. "They do sleep
and dream, tool" Hanging ont on slab is
their favorite amusement. Each day they
take but few s'mssls," bat they arc . rich
joke on corn bread, and do not suffer IT,
like the INDECENT aged Edward, whose digits
we're currently reported TO be equal in longi-
tuds to the bamboo formation that grove
90 spontaneously on the banks Of the South
ern Mississippi,--they do not do, say, a.
the aforesaid INDECENT, aged Edward was
forced 10 do, viz: permit the corn bread to
pass ky With IMMUNITY. In fact they are e1-
tensive on "psrwisions," and waylay Ioose
"grub" promiscuously.
ltmay be true that when they have leisure
they occasionally peruse miscellaneous vol
umes Of Cohen's family. 10 fact those his
tories OF the "Pour Kings" are quite ia
miiiar to them, but hope the dsar reader
will not think them worse than hackeray's
-Four Georges" for il they were, the Zou
ave sense of honor would scorn their use
And, finally, they do read the Gate City, and
are yours, very truly,
