REMpsIsQESGE or EspARIERo.-The eleva-
ton Of this celebrated Spanish general and
statesman to the position of Chief Of State in
Spain recalls rather amusing anecdote. In
1889, or nearly thirty years ago, when the
HERALD was having q lively tilt with Mr..
Seward, then Governor Of this State, terming
him loosely the ''small potato" Governor,
&C., number Of American shipmasters were
present at an entertainment given at port in
Spain-Cadiz, we believe-which Espartero,
already q highly distinguished son Of the
realm, honorcd with his presence. Wishing
TO compliment especially certain New York
shipmasters, Espartero gave az toast, "The
health of his Excelencia Senior Small Potato,
the Governor Of the great American State Of
New York" or course there was great mer-
riment among the Americans at this queer
misapprehension on the part Of the great
Spaniard; but It is question to this day
among the survivors Of the entertainment
whether he was not getting off ely joke alto
gether at their own expense.

THE ''KEY" TO THE ''ORIENTAL QUESTION. -
A little speck of trouble is gathering in the
East, tending to disturb the relations between
France and Russia. It appears that from
time ssthe memory Of man runneth not to the
contrary" the sacred key to the Holy Sepul-
chre has been in the exclusive keeping Of the
Consul of France at Jerusalem. Russia has
now preferred the request that this mOmentous
key be placed under the joint protection of
Russia and France. The French Minister at
Constantinople has written home long pro-
test against this demand, claiming that to con-
cede it would materially injure the standing
and influence of the French in the East. The
Marquis de Moustier has made similar report
to the Emperor, and it was decided to keep
exclusive Control Of this key. The further de-
velopmcnts of this clavicular affai-
a. -i.-. ~ - ---A may, per-
haps, prove 70 sne world that the particular
'key" for the whole and everlastingly recur-
ring "Oriental Question" has always been in
the hands of France. The Holy Sepulchre
has furnished the key to some of the bloodiest
wars of Europe and Asia, from the Crusades
down to the war of the Crimea, and the end is
not vet. Who knows?

The New Cotton Crop.

A very fine quality of cotton of the new crop
this year has just been brought to the New
York market from Carroll parish, Louisiana.
pound. II Is called the Peeler cotton, and has
long, fine staple, approaching that Of the
famous Sea Island cotton. 1t is different pro-
duct, however, and, as it was grown in the
interior and in the great cotton region Of the
Mississippi Valley, we suppose it can be raised
where any of the ordinary staples are. The
Sea Island cotton can only be grown within a
short distance from the sea and in particular
locality; the supply, consequently, is limited.
II the Peeler cotton should be generally cult
waited it would make great change in the
market value of this great American product,
and might revolutionize the manufactures Of
the world. This particular kind of cotton was
discovered three or four years ago in an acct
dental manner Mr.. Peel, planter in the
Mississippi Valley, found among his ordinary
standing crop plant bearing much finer and
longer staple than the rest. He carefully
saved the seed, which he planted the next year,
the year after and until he had seed enough
of the new variety to sell to his neighbors.
Thus it spread and acquired the name of
Peeler cotton. No doubt 1t will be cultivated
hereafter more extensively, as it has realized
such high price in the market. We may ex-
pect very soon large supply of this years
cotton from all parts of the South. This will
contribute vastly to relieve the necessities Of
the Southern people, to improve their condi-
ton, and to stimulate trade with the North.
We may say now that as far as the material
interests and prospects Of the South go the
tide has turned in their favor. With peace
and continuance of such industry as the
mass of Southerners have shown the last year
they will soon become rich again.

Southerners in New York.


A late New York letter says
The number Of Southerners
living at the North, particularly in
the City of New York, seems al
most fabulous. They are presi.
ding over boarding-houses in the
avenues, on the cross-streets and
down town. They are working
banking establishments on wall
street, conducting assignments for
cotton and naval stores on Pearl
and Water streets and Maiden
Lane, selling prints, shoes and
groceries on Broadway, Courtlandt
and Canal, furnishing matter for
the critical and local columns of
newspapers, clerking in wholesale
and retail houses, and, in q word,
filling every imaginable place of
business-from a candy shop up
to the spacious counters of the
merchantprince. Judges and law
yers, who were the ornaments Of
the Southern bench and bar, bril-
liant journalists, poets and nov
elists, eminent statesmen and dis
tinguished military leaders, beauti
ful and accomplished women who
were the magicians Of society in
Charleston, Augusta and Mobile,
and even beardless boys full of the
idea of forsaking a doomed coun-
try, they are all there by thou
sands and tens of thousan DIS.
Some idea may be formed Of the
immensity of that number, when
it is said, that, in the election Of
Mayor Hoffman, the united South
ern and Irish vote easily deter
mined the political fortunes Of the
city. Let a visitor, on any day,
take the cars on University Place
on Fourth Avenue, and he will
se7 that, not only have Southerners
gone North, but that they have
carried their home gailantry and
politcness with them. They never
sit in the street cars, and permit
ladies to stand up thing which
the Yankees invariably do. Even
Northern woman can tell by
intuition when she is to get seat
in crowded car, by her knowl-
edge Of the difference between the
cold, unimpassioned, calculating
face Of q Yankee merchant, and
the manly, deferential bearing ofa
Southern gentleman. Thank God,
we beat them in politeness, if they
beat US in gold. :.
But what have all these South
erners gained by going North 4?
They ran away from negro su-
premacy and the plantation of pow
erty, and what have they got in
exchange? The supremacy of a
cold, heartless,. dissipated, vulgar
so cial system, and the terrors of
poverty, such as the South never
knew, which takes more women
and children by the brain and
heart, without warning or pity,
and presses and crushes them un-
til they are glad to die. There
are hundreds Of fair browed South
ern boys among the Yankees to-
day, who do not know where they
will get slice Of bread for their
dinner. No, let our men stand by
their imperiEled homesteads; or,
if they are burnt, let them stand by
the ruins until the angel Of Gods
mercy shall have come to US again.
We solemnly protest against our
young men leaving the places
W ere they where cralled, for
the pitiless hearthstones Of straag-
ers. II we must, let rs follow
the old Athenian plan, and carry
our women and children to the
Island of Salamis, and to tie
ships, but let us hold every square
inch Of our native soil.
