HE MADE HIMSELF WALKING ARSENAL

In these days, Western Texas was a
rather wild country; the law was but i'm
perfectly enforced and consequently ev-
cry one considered ''self preservation the
first law of nature" A Brantley man
and Muroe man were deadly enemies.
They met but to engage in bloody af-
fray Thus stood affairs at the breaking
out of the war in 1861. The adherents
of the respective parties went into the
Southern army.

A LITTLE Too SHARP. enterpris-
ing business man of Hartford, Conn.
runs two branches of trade, to-wit: A
grocery and fish market the grocery by
himself, the fish market by a deputy,
and every night the latter makes returns
of the proceeds of the days business to
the proprietor. A few days since the
grocer found in his fish market returns
a counterfeit five dollar bill. He didn't
like to lose it, and didn't quite want to
take the chances of trying to pass it. So
he called an old darky who was hanging
about the premises, and said to him:
''Sam, here's a five dollar bill that's
little doubtful. If you'll take it and pass
it, I'll give you dollar of the change"
every well, said Sam, and he took
the bill and went of.
Later in the day he returned, having
accomplished the feat, and handed over
four dollars in money to the grocer.
That night the grocer, in counting the
cash returns from his fish market, was
more surprised chan delighted to find the
identical five in the pile.
" Look here, said he sharply to his
fish market clerk, ''here's a counterfeit
bill who'd We take it of! Didn't We
know twas bad ?"
The clerk took it and looked at it a
"Oh yes, said he, 81 remember now
took it of Sam, the darky. 1 thought
it was little doubtful, and wasn't going
to take it; but he said he got it of you,
SO | thought it was all right"
Further explanation was unnecessary.

The receipts Of this staple at al the
ports in the e. S. for the week ending
Friday, 18th, were 1872. 165 bales against
$4,000 for the corresponding week last
year. The total receipts since Eeptenl-
Der LIST, the present season, are $50, 600
bales against 632, 900 for the same period
last year, showing an increase of $4,000
bales.
The statistical position of cotton In the
foreign markets, Is stated In late Liver
pool circular Of w. C. Watts q Co., as
follows:
From our table it win be seen we now
make the visible supply 22S64 bales larger
than last year. In referring TO this table il
port and London is 81, $40 bales in excess of
last year, there Is deficit in the quantity
afoat for the two ports of $1,000 bales.
Our supply of American cotton on the
spot is being very rapidly reduced. The
mport of this description during the week
from America and France was "A, S5S bales.
but the deliveries amounted 10 36.658 bales.
A week or ten days ago even running mid
ding uplands were very scarce aud COM
nianded relatively very full prices; now
however, this grade is more abundant
Good styles OF strict good ordinary and low
mitldling are in the most request: and relat-
i've prices for SUCH if free from sand, are
likely TO improve.
Consumption in this country appears to
be steadily on the increase. The prospect
of abundant supplies and moderate range
of prices is causing new mills to be put in
operation Notwithstanding the large pro-
portion of heavy American bales now being
taken by the trade it is generally estimated
that consumption is fully $4,000 bales per
week.
