TIE COTTON PLANT IN CHNA.-Cotton is
found very generally distributed throughout
all the provinces Of China south Of thirty-seven
degrees north latitude. It is not native Of
the country, but was introduced from India.
The first mention Of cotton in Chinese history
is az early as two thousand years B. C.-sooD
after the general dispersion mentioned in Bible
history. More than two thousand years later,
or about The Christian era, it is again mention.
ed as tribute brought to China by 'sdistant
foreigners.n According to the researches OF
Chinese scholars, however, it would appear
that the plant was not introduced and cultl-
vated in 0hins proper till the twelfth or thir-
teenth century. The cotton now grown IN the
country is believed to be much inferior to the
species first introduced, owing to the unfavor.:
able soil and climate and injudicious modes OF
cultivation. The soil is too wet and heavy, and
the Chinese do not prepare the ground for 1t,
while they SOW the seed broadcast.

How TO MAZE a POPULAR PAPER.-The way
to make popular paper, is to pitch in. But
it must be no ordinary, weak, wishy-washy
pitching in. It must be 9 furious fiery, rear.
ing, tearing, rip-snorting, sky-cayorting and
earth. bursting pitching in: You must rant,
an awful, uncommon, unending and exaspera-
ting blast You must shout, shrek, sneer,
snigg@, sneeze and eventually snarl. Reyile,
calumniate, repudiate, excoriate, opprobriate,
castigate and even antedate. Nickname, mas
and hut him in the eyeebaii, BIN. Grab him,
grip him, grin at him, gouge him, grit your
Teeth at him Cwhoever he may be), use him,
abuse him, and at length do him bad unani-
mously. Above all, rear, rile, rip, zip, flip,
gnash, cash, gander-puI and gradually chaw
up, spit-eut and stamp him to death. We have
failed to do this. Next week we shall open &C
lively and appallingly upon old Wells.

This remedy accomplished this wonderful and &c.
lightful dederatum in all cases Of external and in
ternal pain. In an instant it afforded relief, the
moment it was applied to the parts OF the body
where Inflammation or pain existed-it at once re.

nghIful sensation of ease and comfort.
