The Southern States grow more than
half the cotton that the world con-
sumes --Mep York Tribune.
"0ur information says the Louis
vile Commercial, is that the Southern
States grow less than Eve per cent. Of
the. cotton that the world consumes.
We saw in the North American Quar-
teFly for 1--WE believe) January, 1860, an
estimate Of the cotton grown throughout
the world That authority placed it at
one hundred millions of bales--China
producing near forty millions, India
about twenty millions, other parts of
the world smaller quantities, and the
amount grown in this country not reach
ing quite five millions of bales. That
grown in the United States is Of a supe-
rior quality to the cotton Of China and
India in the length Of its fibre, and it is
used by the manufacturers in mixing
with and working the cotton produced
in other places. Our recollection is that
the finest cotton is grown in Algeria;
next, the Sea Islands, of this country;
and next, that produced in other South
ern parts of the United States. More
than seventy per cent. Of al the cotton
we produce is sold to Europe"

Recent supreme Court Decisions.

From the Jackson Democrat.
In the case of Gillespie vs. Hollow
man, the Court decided that it was not
sufficient for witness, in proving ten
der Of Confederate money, to give his
conclusions. He must state the circum-
stances connected with the tender in
order that the Court might judge of its
sufficiency.
A note to pay for land bought in 1868,
to be paid in Confederate money, unless
a tender is proved, must be paid now in
United States currency at whatever the
Confederate money was worth at the
time of payment, with interest. CO.

THE BEST TIME TO VISIT CALIFORNIA

The first elk months of the year is the
best time to visit California; every
thing is bright and glowing, and from
January to June there is comparatively
little dust or heat. After that the
drouth is parching, and the whole in
terror, from the Sierrss to the Coast
Range, becomes yellow and arid. For
days of travel not green spot is to be
seen, for not one house in fifty has a
grass plat about it, the same requiring
mill. The old fields from which the
wheat has been cut in May or early
June, look distressingly barren in their
coat of dirty yellow; all the foothills
are brown or dirty gray, and over
everything is dust, dust, dust. Not q
drop of rain falls from May till late in
October; then comes the drenching
rains of autumn, and the whole plain
becomes a sea of liquid mud little
too thick for navigation and a little too
thin for roads. But this passes away in
q month or two the roads harden, and
only moderate showers fall, and by the
middle of January the growing season
is fully begun. Then everying is love-
~ for q while. Strawberries are abun-
dant in March, and every kind of early
fruit and vegetables most plentiful.
But the heavy fruit season comes later
so, if you cannot visit the State before
July and avoid the dust, then come late
in August or September, and enjoy the
fresh fruits. Do not, as the majority
of Eastern tourists do, come in July,
get all the evils and miss all the COM
forts.

A PARIS sHOP.KEEPER'S MISTAKE.

Mrs. Laura Curtis Billiard, tells a
story of the Baroness Coutts, who, when
shopping in Paris, was passed from
one department to another by the clerks
always with the remark Etwo-ten." She
was escorted. from counter to counter,
and everywhere these cabalistic words,
"two-ten," were repeated from one
clerk to another. Struck by the pecul-
iarity of this refrain, she asked the
proprietor, as she left the establish
ment, "Pray what does two-ten mean ?
1 noticed each clerk said it to the other
in your shop" "Oh, it is nothing" he
replied "merely password that they
are in the habit of exchanging" But
Miss Coutts was not satisfied with this
explanation. So in the evening, when
the porter, youngssboy, brought home
her purchases, after paying her bill she
said, "My boy, would you like to earn
five francs ?" OF course he had no OBJ
lection. ''Tell me" said the lady, "what
does two-ten mean? l will give you
ive francs" "Why, don't you know,
ma'am 2" said he evidently amazed at
her ignorance. sit means keep your

the little face, they had already straight
ened the limbs for the grave. 1t did
not hear the uproar of the approaching
procession, but the bereaved parents
did, and they left it alone with the con-
Querer that spares not infancy, and
went out to enjoy the grand eatTee of

protracted absence the undertaken came
with his casket. He found the door
locked; but death had entered upper
mitted, and his business is to follow.
The coffin was deposited through the
window on the floor. Some time that
day the sorrow-laden parents found
leisure to place the stilled prattler in its
permanent cradle. That night they
hied them forth again to assuage their
griefs in the delights of the ampithea-
tire, leaving silence and desertiOn two
