The Cotton CrOp for 1871.

1t appears from the reports which
have come to The Bureau of Agricul-
ture from all the cotton. growing
States of the South that the area of
of cotton planted this year il on an
average between fourteen and tifIeeu
per cent. less than last year, which
Is equivalent To nearly million and
a third acres. IL In estimated, there
fore, that the crop of 1871 will not
exceed three and half millions of
bales, and that should the
season prove unpropitious not
more, perhaps, than three mil
lions Of bales. The planters are
growing more corn and other pro-
ducts for home consumption this year
They find by experience thai large
crop of cotton brings no more, or but
little more money, than IA short one,
the price In the market being regu-
lated by the supply. We cannot
blame the planters for studying their
own interests in this matter, while
at the same time we may regret TO
see cotton high aud cotton goods
dearer. In this case tho loss to the
world seems to be gain to the plant
ers. Cheap cotton Is u great boon
undoubtedly, to mankind as we'll as
to manufacturers, and we hope the
time will come when the production
of this article may be cheapened by
the use of machinery and improved
| methods of cultivation.

THE following suggestive and au-
dacious style of popping the ques-
tion" once transpired In Philadel-
phia. Pa. The lady was either ex-
pecting something of the kind and
canvassed the thing in her mind, OF
she had most excellent nerves.
A lady and gentleman, who had
been acquainted but one week, and
who move In the first circles, were
walking upon the street, the lady
showing the lions Of the city to the
gentleman, who was stranger in
Philadelphia. In the course Of their
ramble they stopped by wedding
party, who were alighting from theiI
carriage at a church door. The lady
proposed to go I'm and see the thing
through. The gentleman consented
and together they stood till the cere'
mony was over. At the instant, the
gentleman, taking the lady's hand
in his, led her INCREASINGLY to thu
alter, without o single word spoken
and presented her to the astonishet
minister, with the request that they
be made one. In ten minutes th'
knot was tied, and we have no reason
to believe that either have, In tn
ten years they have been joined
