this favorite parlor periodical is
fully equal to any of those which

markably with other parlor publ

THE Crops IN THE SOUTH

LIE ChOPS In The SOUTH
Whatsoever doubts and appre-
tensions may be felt throughout
the South in regard to the pros
poets of the cotton crop, there are
satisfactory assurances and evil
dences that the product of bread
stuffs will be more than adequate
to the sustenance of the whole
people Of the South. The pro-
duct of wheat, corn, oats, and
other smaller grains has never
been greater in the South than it
will be in season. This is especial
~ true of the middle Southern
States. In Maryland, Virginia,
the CarOlinas, in Tennessee and
in the northern section of Missis-
sippi, Georgia and Alabama, the
yield Of the grains has been enor-
nous. Nor has there been any
difficulty in gathering them. The
freedmen in those sections contin-
ne to work well and systemaUical-
ly. There are no evidences of any
disorganization or disturbances

DULL TIMES IN NEW ENGLAND.
The Springfield Mass Republi-
can gives the following rather
gloomy account of business affairs
in New England:
The manufacturers of the coun-
try are not particularly active nor
cheerful just now, and the makers
of knit goods are even arranging
things preparatory to a mutual
stopping of work for a few weeks
altogether. The accumulated
stocks of manufactured goods do
not diminish very rapidly under
the continued dizziness of business,
and neither wooden nor cotton
manufacturers care to further in
crease their investments in un-
saleable goods. At Manchester,
n. H., business is almost stagnant,
though the mills are still running,
the Manchester mill and print
works at that place having on
hand over $2,O00,00O worth of un-
sold goops. The same inaction is
prevailing in the boot and shoe
business, and the large boot and
shoe manufacturers at Lynn,
Haverhill, and the adjacent places
are nearly idle.
Glad to hear it. Pile on the
cotton tax. Up with the niger
and down with the white man.
Give the screw another turn. Kick
the Constitution to the dogs.
Send more thieves down South to
fill the offices. 1t will all work
round right in a few years.
