Pretty well said.

The following remarks of one of the
Memphis dailies have a very appropriate
application in this locality. There is a GER
tain class of men who never see news
paper man." especially areporter, but they
stop him to ask ''the news They talk
and act as if the reporters sole business
was to run around and gather news to re-
tail for their especial delectation on the
street corners There is another custom
INDUCED in by these same individuals,
which is still more annoying, and for which
there is less excuse than for the first 1t is
the habit of inquiring ''who wrote this
or that "article" or Communication in
the paper"-the inquiry being made with
no other object than the qualification of an
idle curiosity, and with a full knowledge
that it is against the rules of respectable
journalism to give up the names of the
authors or writer's of an article, except to
some one who is injured or aggrieved, and
has the right to demand it. Both of the
habits are frequently the result of thought
lessnees, but in most cases they proceed
from ilI-breeding, and lack of a proper
perception of the prophecies of life.

~ sales on the sth inst- we've as folIoRs
EhgIlsl, Grain NIarket.

From Mark Lane Express, May %:
The first half of the past week, though
fine, was still cold at night; but by the
close we were plunged into midsummer
heat, though rain was still wanting. The
late showers previously received prepared
vegetation for the sudden change, and a
vigorous growth has almost instantly fol-
lowed. The benefit to the growing wheat
is immense, and, should the heat last
through June, the lost time will be fully
made up, and bring Us close en- to the
average time of harvest on all the more for
ward lands. But the grass and spring corn
need much more moisture to give promise
of abundance; should rain, however, fall
plenteously on a thoroughly heated sur
face, it would have telling effects. The up
ward tendency in wheat, which began to
abate on the first appearance of change,
has been entirely lost Many markets
note a decline of Is 3 Or, and this would
have been general under a pressure to sell;
but with our averages, after a rise, still Is
q or. less than they were In the good croI
of 1865, farmers appear disposed rather tC
face the expected imports than press then
samples, though the weekly sales continue
largely in excess of last year. As scarcely
any I1uS3liS1 spI1nS COHu COH1cS W MAR
from the apparent exhaustion of stocks,
there is, indeed, little left but wheat and
stock to meet current expenses; and we
cannot help thinking the abundance Of
1868 has contributed a goodly share to
these large weekly sales. Generally, all
over the Continent, there has been distri-
button of rain, with a slightly downward
tendency in prices. But one important
part of the continental corn crop, the rye,
has in several places seriously suffered, and
the question is, will what is left be suf.
fcient for the enormous demands of Ger
many, Sweden and Russia, without trench
ing on the lower descriptions of wheat
The blooming time has yet to pass safely,
and then the harvest But the happy ces-
sation of war in Europe, and the more
general spread of commerce, have been
favorable to the multiplication of the hu-
man race; and if England may be taken as
a criterion of the general increase, her out
flowing emigration and endless buildings
in the vicinity of every commercial and
maritime city, would bring us to a sum to-
tai astonishingly large. In California
one of our best sources of supply prices
have hardened, from hot and dry weather
prematurely forcing the corn into ear.

Masonic IEanauCt.

The grand banquet of the Grand Com
maudery of the knights Templar was had
at the Louisville Hotel, in Louisville, last
night. From the bill of fare provided for
the occasion, which is most tastefully got
ten up. and from the names and characters
of the gentlemen composing the Commit
tees on Invitation and on Festival, it was
evidently one of the most suporb affairs of
the kind ever gotten up in that city, ia
nous as she has always been for great en-
tertainments.
The bill embraces everything that the
most fastidious epicure, or the daintiest
taste could desire, gotten up and prepared
with every variety Of art, device and orna-
ment, that the most skillful connoisseur
could suggest, OF the most elaborate skill
execute. Among the features of rich
adornment upon the table was Solomon
Apollo Temple, and the Temple on the
Mount1ir, built in pyramidical style, of
cano Is, fruits, cakes, bon-bons, etc, etc.
Every variety of relshes, roasts, cakes and
pastries, jellies, creams, berries, tropical
fruits, etc, are on the bills in endless
profusion, while the entire catalogue Of
rare and rich old wines is exhausted in the
preparation of the banquet. Besides the
Sir Knights, hundreds of guests were to be
present. and it was, no doubt, one of the
most brilliant affairs ever attended at the
Louisville Hotel

Last evening large number Of the
parents and friends Of the art class at the
above Seminary met in the chapel of the
! institution at the invitation of the teachers
to witness the progress of the pupils, and
assist at the Interesting ceremonies had on
this occasion, to celebrate the first year
of their efforts to cultivate and improve
the talent thft reproduces beauty in ma
ture.
Two little Misses, members of the art
class. were called on to recite poetic
welcome to the friends that assembled,
they took their places, and every one was
prepared to listen, when clear case Of
stage fright occurred on the part of one o.
| the Misses, and the poetic welcome was
omitted: Perhaps this exhibition Of real
1 modesty was as grateful to the audience, a.
| the recitation would have been.
Rev. DIR. s,omess then read q paper O
much interest, which explained the course
of study in this department, and gave man,
good reasons why young ladies should be-
taught to draw and paint-argued that al
can learn 70 draw, that the notion tina
special talent was required was fallacy
with many interesting facts IN connection
with the subject ee
After reading the paper DIR. Somers mad
a few remarks, which were received wit
much appreciation by the audience.
When the DIR. had finished Mr.. Wor
came forward, and calling up Miss Reese
the principal music teacher Of the institu
ton, presented her with magni6cen
volume, the gift of class Of young ladie
who have been greatly profted by her in
struction.
After this, the art pupils retired TO th
exhibition rooms, where they were followe
by the audience, when an opportunity wa
afforded to see the progress made by th
pupils. We did not have time tonoteall til
specimens exhibited, and can only refer
few-a bust of Dickens, also of Swi1
burne, the poet, which were very fine
also an Apollo, that showed merit. Nils
Scar is careful and has done much to az
vAGce her pupils. We fully concur wit
La. Somers, that the Seminary is fortunat

The Cotton Outlook.

We clip the following from the Macon
| Telegraph and Messenger, of the 9th inst:
The progress of the American cotton crop
is astonishing and utterly floors all the
prophets and vaticiuators in this section.
Time and again it has been demonstrated
| by Figures which cannot lie, that any ma
terial increase in the cotton yield Of the
| South is impossible, and time and again
we have expressed the confident opinion
| that the crop would swell rapidly from year
to year, and in no great time distance all
past achievements. But where is the la
Dor to come from? Don't you see it fall
fng off in every district Don't you hear
the grievous complaints of scarcity here,
there and everywhere throughout the cot
ton region? Every year the negro force
employed in the culture is shrinking and
becoming less efficient, and every year,
consequently, the crop must diminish But
it don't diminish-it swells: 1869 gave the
enormous gain of about 500, 900 bales. The
crop of 1865, the precise aggregate of
which was disputed, am Junted to some
where about 2, 400, 600 bales. The crop Of
1869, is now estimated at 3, 237, 900 bales.
What viii be the crop of 1870? Following
the old talk about areas and colored field
hands, we say there can be not excess, and
we said the same last year.
But the truth Is, outside of all these Ia
bored calculations about negro labor and
areas planted, there is vast white mans
crop-grown in patches and by white la
bor-the aggregate of which is swelling
from year to year with great rapidity. 1t
is a contribution by rain drops, which by
imperceptible additions swells the mighty
stream to the point of overflow. Who
shall compute the vast aggregate of food
produced in little driblets by the people in
their garden patches, poultry yards and
cattle and pig pens? These do not count
in the crop statistics, but would present an
astonishing aggregate. But similar contri-
buttons to the cotton crop, however insig
nifcant in detail to the statistician and
cotton dealer, unlike the food product, are
accumulated in the grand total, and in our
opinion are potential in classifying the esti-
mates we make Ct the probable volume of
future crops.
Seeing then, that our cotton crop is so
far out running all anticipations in respect
to its magnitude. common sense demands
that the planter shall abandon all hopes of
high prices predicated on scarcity and
short crops, and with these be must aban-
don all ida of subsisting himself and force
upon imported food at high prices. He can
no longer afford to bring his bread and
Iseat 800 miles by railway, and employ
the white labor of the West and New Eng
land at 81 80 a day, 10 raise his grain and
meat, forage, horses and mules, and ship
them at large expense over a great dis
lance. lie must do as they do or he viii |
be ruined He must produce what he con-
sumes and sell only the surplus. ]
