A NATURAL WArkRFALL.--The
Sandusky Register gives the follow
ing decription of the latest curiosity ::
A gentleman of this city is the

portion ofthe back OF the head which,
with ladies Is covered by the water.

with a thick growth of jet black hair,
three inches long, and precisely in
the shape of a waterfall. The young
lady paid us visit yesterday-wear.
ing her fashionable but natural ap-
pendage. The singular growth Of hair
remains, presenting grotesque ap.
pearance and being only slightly re.
lieved by the usual growth of fine
white hair on the other portions of
the head A =
The circumstance is of course eas
lily explained by the prevailing mode
of wearing the hair, and the impress
ion made by the style upon the mind
of the mother. Another explanation
has been suggested, namely: that ma.
turc, seeing what deal Oftroublt
and expense the construction Of wat
erfall incnrs, has decided to provide
the next generation Of young ladies
with the genuine article from her own
laboratory. This will be great sa-
wing of expense in large families.
The father Of our fashionable young
friend is Mr.. ii. V. Thompson, sail
maker.

synopsis of what transpitea in the U. S.
Senate in regard to petition from a
citizen OF Columbia, concerning the de.
slruction of his house. And in the
same connection was the pith Of letter

SHERMAN, but we do not hesitate to
say that that telegram very much misrep.

letter. That will be found in another

The Cotton Crop.

N"sNo" SioPs
In thisD strict preparations are making
lor II very huge cotton crop. So far the
main source of labor. secured arc the
freedmen. One advantage of the pres.
cnt over the former system of labor is
that planters can select their employees.
And we have heard some cotton grow.
crs say that they had made good selec.
tions. Almost every one has an entire.
ly different corps of workmen from those
that belonged to him before emancpa.
ton. In some few cases we have heard
OF the original hands remaining with
their former masters.
Now what are the prospects for a
handsome profit from this great prepa
ration That there will be great de-.
'mand for cotttn next fall, and therefore
high price, is the sanguine hope upon
which all this preparation is made.
We believe that our people have the
most substantial ground upon which to
base hopes OF success. There can be
no doubt that the manufacturing area Of
the world has steadily increased since
lS6L In 1860 over FIVE and quar-
ter millions of bales of cotton we're
thrown upon the market. 1t was all
consumed and brought what was then
thought to be a fair price. The four
years war, it's very plain, could not
seriously impair manufacturing interests
1t rather gave them an impulse. For
as less cotton was converted into text:
ure, cotton goods were greatly enhanced
in value. Now if Ave million bales
could be produced this year, even that
amonnt would he absorbed hi,, ilo .,.-..-
factories and profta6ly too 10 the pro.
ducer. But there is,not the least hope
that so great quantity of cotton will
be thrown upon the market. Those
who are best able to judge calculate
o''"' thC h1Oh'iIClu OldJeS VIII not pro.
duce more than 100000 bales. The
supply from Egypt, India, Turkey, Bra.
zl and other cotton producing countries,
it is said. will greatly fall off this year.
In quality some of these cotton regions
may compete with the Southern States,
but in quantity never, if any thing like
systematic labor can be secured for
its production here.
TO sum up then, briefly, the grounds
ofpur belief that cotton labor this, year
will prove quite profitable. These arc
they. The demand for cotton next
Fall by manufacturers will be immense.
The supply'of the whole cotton.produc.
ing world will fall far short Of that dc.
mand, and as a consequence the stern law
of supply and demand will give a large
margin for profits to the producer.
