Has American Cotton Deteriorated!

A statement having been made, both
i'll this country and Europe, that the
Iquality of American cotton had dete-
riorated within the past ten years, the
Commissioner of Agriculture, early last
spring, prepared Il circular upon this
subject, and sent it to large number
of the leading cotton planters and cot
ton manufacturers. 1t contained two
questions. First-"Has American cot
ton detelio'ated in quality during the
last decade?' Second-''lf so to what
cause is it attributable" The general
tenor of the answers run in this chan
mel: "That while the quality of cotton
now brought to market is inferior in
condition to villa: WAS produced twelve
years ago, that condition is attributa-
ble to causes which do not neccssariM
enter into the production and sale of
the commodity" In support of teis
statement, it was remarked that "soon
after the close of the war large num-
Der of the most intelligent and pro-
gressive planters of the Sonth were at
great pains to procure good seed, Civ
ing in many instances as high as ten
dollars per bushel for them. These
seed were planted with care the cotton
carefully picked and handled and sent
to market, but when it reached the
buyer these planters discovered that
the buyer was not disposed to make
any discrimination between his fine aud
clean cotton and the cotton of the care
less planter, which might be full Of
notes and sand" This being the case
planters paid more attention to the
quantity ofcotton they raised than the
quality, and that is the offered expa-
nation of what deterioration there is
truly observable in cotton raised in the
United States in 1872, and that raised
in 1858 and the two following years.
AS the quality Of our cotton rules that
of the world, it is highly important
that the home standard should be re-
stored to its old mark.

A PUzzLE.-"On Friday last a
young lady Of this village" says
the Saratogian, received a letter
out 0 f the post Office. Hastily
ope ing it, she attempted to read
it, but 1t was puzzle, as she found
it IL impossibility to decipher
many OF the words and sentences;
and those that she did seemed to
convey no intelligence, or to have
the slightest particle of sense i II
them. She asked a young gentle
man friend to assist her in reading
it. He looked at the mysterious
u,issive and smiled. Her curiosity
was aroused; she snatched the let
ter from his hand and attempted
to read it and smile, but it was of
no use. She handed it back to him.
He gazed at it and smiled a little
broader, but said nothing. Now
she was vexed, and thought it real
mean in him to laugh and not tell
her what about. After laughing
till he grew red in the face and his
sides shook and ached, he handed
it back to her saying. "Why, that
is your own letter returned from
the Dead Letter Office!''

TT Several ingenious men give all
their time to the invention of mechan.
zeal toys, in which America does over
three. tOn,ths OF the entire trade. One
young man processes to have earned
500, 900 from royalty on his toys, and
several others have rcaped small for
tunes. A year or two ago baby doll
appeared in til e oy-shop windows
which would creep gently across the
floor, turning its head from side to side
as though seeking approval. About
10, 1000 of these little things were sold
in one yea,, although their price was
five dollars each. The heads. legs and
arms are made to order in Germany,
and the rest Of the doll is made in New
York. Upon this one toy $4,000 was
expended iu one year, and its sale is
increasing.
