very grave question is presented to the
people Of the South. Will they continue
to delve, and toll, and sweat in their cot
ton fields, when but pittatlce Of their
earnings can be enjoyed by themselves !?
7 Or will they turn their attention to the
comforts and good living which can only
be found in the cultivation OF provisions,
the delicaeies of the garden, the luxuries
I of the farm yard, and the raising of stock? :?
We long to see the day when they will
arrive at the sensible and truthful conclu-
sion that cotton is the Iliadof their woes,
and that the road to contentment and
comfort leads not to the cotton field, but
to the easy culture of the necessaries OF
life, and the improvement of the homes
of the heart. While they will be adding
to their own ease and domestic happiness;
by planting only. enough cotton for home
consumption, they will teach their ene-
mics a lesson. as sad inaits history as it
will be disastrous in it's results. Where
all are poor, poverty is, no disgrace; and
now that we can afford to be poor, let us
try the experiment of q fine garden, full

The MYSTERIOUS 81 900 BML.-We
find the following item, says the Houston
journal OF the 18th ult., going the rounds
In the year 1883, Mr.. Cobb, Of Balti.

lar note, which, on looking at he discoy.
cred to be $1,000 note. His suspicious
were aroused, but he could find no more
about it than that it had been offered by
an old negro woman as ten dollar note
in payment of some small articles. 1Hes
/ kept it and advertised it, but no claimant
appeared. Finally, he deposited sit with
the city authorities, and By them it has
just now been donated to the Union Or;

interest, the sum now amounts to: near,

Truth Stranger than Fiction.

It occasionally happens that an event
occurs in real life as romantic as if pr pro- :.
duced by the conception of writer of
fiction. One of these is transpiring now
in this city. Eighteen years ago. in the
city of London, when the parties were
both young a gentleman addressed. q Ia
dy- For some reason, his suit was relec.
ted, and in o short timo the lady married
another gentleman. They semigrated to
America and settled in this city. "A few
years since the husband died and left his
wife widow. Since that time: she has
been engaged in an honest vocation, by
which she has supported herself, and won
the respect of q large circle of friends
and acquaintances. After her marriage
the gentleman who first addressed yher
also married. He remained in London.
Some twelve months since, his wife died
and he became Q widower.s: - ..,qs

Southern Relief Fair at st. Louis

This magnificent entertainment, which
fol several weeks has been going on at st.
Louis, closed on Wednesday night with
calico ball. The excitement among the
ladies, says the Missouri Republican, which
preceded the ball, was great. Calico.
counter clerks were almost driven to dis
traction by the demand for calico. A
single house sold three hundred and fifty
dress measures in twentv-four hours, the
proprietors of other houses had to 60 to
wholesale dealers to replenish their stocks,
and substantial advance in the calico
market accrued from this same excite
ment 1t was reported to have been the
preceding effect Of this ball. The Repab-
lican says: gssa
Arrivals had by no means ceased at ten
o'clock, yet at that hour over ST 400 in
cash had been taken at one Of the ticket
offices, and over 5000 at the other. These
sums of course do not include the proceeds
of sales of tickets that have been making
for three or four days past by members
of the committee, and by ladies at the
several tables of the fair: One ticket ad-
mitted gentleman and as many ladies
as the holder chose to bring, Some OF
course came unattended, but others
brought two, four and even six fair COM
panioLs, and one instance was observed
in which a gentleman was accompanied
by seven. Reckoning from data like
these, and from general estimate of the
crowd as compared with that of some OF
the fullest fair nights, we feel authorized
to place the numbers at three thousand
at least half of whom were of the gentle
sex.
About forty gentlemen went to the ball
quantity costumed in compile and stun
ming chintz and calico suits, cut in dress
form. They sported buttons half as large
MS mans hand, and colors of the lordest
possible pattern. The ladies were almost
all faithful to the design of q "calico ball"
Those of matronly age were garbed in
plain alpaca or black silk, but the
Younger ones who danced, were dressed.
with the fewest number of exceptions, In
costumes of gingham cambria or calico
Most of the dresses too were studiousiy
plain and homemade, while O few of them
were trimmed according to more pretcn
tious millinery rules.
A city merchant contributed no little
to the interest and good feeling, donated
to the floral department, two or three
hundred immensely high-crowned, bell
topped, and broad-brimmed hats which
must have been in fashion about quar-
ter of century ago. One of the lady
managers of that department thought she
would run the donation to account, and
accordingly offered them for sale. She
found any number of ready buyers al
three dollars apiece, and soon afterwards
number of gentlemen were seen among
promenaders or dancers with their heads
surmounted with these odd-loeking hats
Their appearance in such outlandish look
ing hats was funny enough to provoke
many o hearty laugh.
These are few of the many good-hu
nored incidents which crowded the hap
py closing scenes of the st. Louis South
ern Relief Fair.
