the Emperor and Empress Is Informal, and quite
unlike that to the Queen OF England. where you

pactIng to be presented are arranged in line,
aud the Emperor first, and then tile Empress,
pass along in front, and as each name is men
toned by the ambassador the Emperor bows very
awkwartlv, and the Empress very gracefully.
Tile Empress was very beautifully dressed In
white Fix, with wreatlls O( scarlet noTers. She
was covered with diamonds. Her neck and
shoulders are superb, and she Is exceedingly
graceful, but not at all beautiful. She has Pc
culiar walk-secms to glide along without any
pcrceptib!c motion.

Ibeg to remind you and your readers that there

lives of three men, right or wrong, for that OF one
who acted In such manner as legitnatel to
forfeit his own life.
But without rejecting upoE The dead, or max
ing charges In advance Of judicial investigation
upon the living. beg leave to remind the reader
that Mr.. Brown, the so-called murderer, has not
been heard-that he should not be condemned
without hea-ing-that he Is willing to have, ill.,
deed lie courts judicial investigation OF his con-
duct before jury OF his countrymcn, when lie
feels satisfied he will be able to justify his cause;
and, in the meantime, he thinks IL very unjust
that public opinion should be prejudiced against
him by parading, in the newspapers, one.sded

OF the question.
The unfortunate difficulty between him and MIR.

UPLANDs rs. SE4 ISLANDS.
TO THE EDITOR OF TIE NEWS.

EpIsTo ISLAND, April 6.
AS some information about our crops nov
being planted in this part OF our State may be ac-
captable will state what know OF the expert
ence OF the planters here during the last season,
and their Intentions for this seaso9, and of my
own.
1t may safely be asserted that very few Of US
have cleared our expenses in the cultivation OF
sea island cotton last gear, and still fewer have
made any profit. 0rly those OF US who could
ret all OF their crop to market early were able to
do either OF these. l will give my own expert
ence which can show what has been that OF the
majority OF sea island planters. planted one
hundred and fifty acres in sea islands, on land
which, before the war, yielded an average OF one
hundred and thirty pounds per acre; but last
summer on account or the caterpillars and
drought, the yield averaged only eighty. eight
pounds per acre, giving forty.two bags, which
were sent to Charleston in three lots, costing me
about eighty cents per pound here. These lots
were sold respectively at eighty two cents, sixty
eight cents and forty-eigh. cents per pound, an
average OF only sixty-threc cents per pound, cX-
elusive of expenses there, giving loss OF not less
than nineteen cents per pound on my whole crop,
say about $500. l had calculated upon yield oi
about one hundred pounds per acre. and price
OF about seventy-fve to eighty cents per pound,
which would have cleared me about $1,000 above
oil my expenses.
This is the third season OF just such experience
with me, and now have determined to give up
this losing business and try shor: cotton. am
now preparing one hundred acres 70. uplands,
and will not plant any sea Islands at all. Ny
lands will yield three hundred pounds OF short
cotton per acre, which will mature before cater
pillars can injure it, and even at twenty y-one
cents pef pound will give sixty-threc dollars per
acre while my class OF long cotton, even at fifty
cents per pound would give only forty-four dol
lars per acre. even IL this summer is as fair in
every respect as the last The cost Of cultivation
OF short cotton is also not so great as long cotton
advise all OF my friends and neighbors TO plant
short cotton, aud give up sea Islands entirely, and
many OF them will do so. l do not believe
that more than one.halr as much long staple will
be planted this spring as last, for men cannot
continue to lose money all the time; an end mus;
come, sooner or later.
It is we'll known that our lands do net suit up.
lands so we'll as sea islands, but we have to sub.
stitute :or the latter some staple that will pay us.
Sugar cultivation must take the position once
held by long cotton here, when our people, or
some Others can have the capital to invest in it
and furnish the costly machinery; but our people
may as we'll realize the fact ut once, that sea
island cotton can no longer DC cultivated here
with profit. PLANTER.
