ONLY A SHADOW.

A story is told of well known gen
tleman, who sometimes imbibes too
freely in ardent spirits, going home
at night recently, and taking his
shadow, outlined on the front door,
for man. He paused little i'll
surprise, and then, lifting his hat
very gracefully, babe him good even
ing.
"a very pleasant evening"" said
the gentleman.
No reply,
"This is my house, | believe" he
said, waving his hand.
The hand of the shadow went
through the same graceful curve.
II should like to get in, sir, If
you'll stand aside But the shad-
ow remained still.
The gentleman was evidently sur
prised He repeated his desire to
pass in, but the shadow remained
still.
His wife seeing him standing
there so long, asked him why he
didn't come i'll.
$50 would, my dear, but this
gentleman pointing to the shadow
insists on blocking up the door,
His wife quietly opened the door,
remarking, THAT was your shad-
ow."
Indeed" said the puzzled citi-
zen; "well, now, thought he was
mighty fine looking fellow to be 50
impolite," and went in.
Whenever he shows a disposition
to remain out late at night, his wife
has only to remind him Of the shad-
ow on the doorstep to insure
speedy return.

DIAMONDS IN GEORGIA.

1t would seem that here in Geor-
gia men inclined to hunt diamonds
may find field for their energy
DR.. Stephenson, of Hall county, says
that about forty diamonds have been
found in Hall county alone, but the
most valuable have been destroyed
or lost through ignorance of their
character and value. Some negroes
broke one worth a hundred thousand
dollars to see what it was.
A farmer describes one which vas
given him thirty years ago, and used
by himself as a child, and his boys
subsequently, for middle man in
marbles, but it was lost about the
place six months ago, and they are
hunting for it now. Nothing was
known about its value until similar
stones were pronounced to be dia-
monds, and thOn the farmer knew
that he and his boys had been play
ing marbles with diamond, which,
from description, the Doctor thinks
mnst be worth half million dol
lars, and be one of the most valuable
gems in the world. The Doctor
says that labor and capital only are
needed to prove that these diamond
fields in Georgia surpass in value
those of Brazil, and are equal to any
in the world,
These homo diamonds, it is conf
IDENTIFY asserted, are of far finer water
than any that have hitherto been
found in the South African Diamond
Valley.

TmENEXT CoTroN CRop.-Speak
ing Of the next cotton crop, tho New
Orleans Picayunc says:
We have closely examined ou.
country exchanges for the last three
or four weeks to ascertain the in
tention of the planters with regard
to the next cotton crop. From
nearly every section of the South
the reports agree in stating that the
acreage under cotton will be largely
reduced this spring. In some dis
tricts it is said not half as much cot
will be planted as was last season.
On the whole, we may safely esti-
mate from twenty-five to forty per
cent. reduction in acreage.
Planters now fully realize the fol-
ly of their action last season in en-
tirely neglecting food crops. They |
have paid pretty dearly for their ex-
perience and the cotton crop of the
South will henceforth, no doubt, be |
kept within the proper limit OF
3,000,0 200 bales.
