CORNEk IN COI"TON-0gTEs NEW
ENGLAND lRASEEIeS.

Our manufacturing friends ut the
North are still unhappy because of
the continuance of that curious state
of things commonly called a ''corncr'
IN which cotton keeps mp in New York
when it is down in Liverpool. The
New York Ereni,ag Post says:
As between the ''bulls'' and the
s'bears" we have no special sympathy
to waste upon either party. But it
happens, unfortunately, in this case,
that however it may fare with the cot
ton gamblers, the cotton manTIfactG-
rers, unless they can stand out until
the game is finished, are likely to be
ground to powder.
Apprehending, it would seem, that
the cotton producers would witness
the conversion of the cotton manufac-
turers into powder with equanimity
and fortitude, if not with cheerful
resignation, our cotemporary proceeds
to pour little gall into the cup of
their satisfaction as follows:
Should that be the case, we may
look for louder howl of distress than
usual from the protectionists, who VII
demand Immediately higher tariff on
imported fabrics to enable us to manu-
facture cotton goods in this country in
competition with foreign manufactu-
rers. A corner i'll cotton, therefore,
may mean not only loss of employment
and severe suffering, for the time bo-
ing, to thousands of operatives IN
American mills, but the enhanced cost
of necessary clothing to every man that
wears shirt and every woman that
wears petticoat on this side of the
Atlantic.
s'Every man that wears shirt and
every woman that wears q petticoat Oh
this side of the Atlantic" is to be made
to suffer because a few New England
manufacturers are compelled to pay
more for cotton than they think they
ought to pay. Stronger proof OF the
degrading, disgraceful vassalage and
slavery of the people of the South and
West to their New England manufac-
lures cannot be given than this Is it
to be wondered at in view of such facts
as these that the Farmers Oranges
have sprung up all over the South and
West, and that they number the mem
bers of them organizations by hun
dreds of thousands? No wonder that
these New ENGLAND manufacturers
desire to make Grant President for
third termi
But the Post is not the only paper
IN New York that feels grief at the
corner in cotton and that desires to
speak word of warning to the South
ern producers of the great "woed." ="
The New York World very kindly tells
us that this shocking cotton gambling
should not mislead the planters into
overestimating either the present or
the prospective value of cotton. The
WOy1G also informs us that "a price
of fifteen cents for the coming crop
would j." remunerative and good
If the IIDria had said that this price
would Iemunerative to the manufac-
turers and spectators the statement
would doubtless have been true.
We begin to feel hopeful. The
World informs us that the cotton
mills at the North are "either stand
ing idle or running Oh half time"
This is game at which the producers
of cotton can play with comfort about
as long as its manufacturers. 1t is
said that the corner will be broken I'D

children to schools to which negroes
do not have access, rich men may SO

Hon. S. S. Cox delivered a stirring
| address before Tammany Society, in
New York city, on the 4th. In con-
cluding it, he said: s'The Democracy
has proved the best custodian of home
rule. This Society is one of it's best
examplers. Tammany means nothing
now ii not the honest conservation of
public right. 1t is regenerated. The
Democratic party has been purified by
sacrifice. 1t has its high utility in this
crisis. When it maintained its old
close communion it was said to be
laggard. When last year we answered
such taunts by making an advance and
| accepting what was called a liberal
view of politics, we were taunted with
desrtion and overwhelmed with defeat.
This was not encouraging. 1t tends
neither to independence of thought or
action. 1t drives us back within our
old intrenchments, and there will fly

all organizations. The nation is un-
dergoing the gravest perils, through
the greed for grain and the lust of
power, and the low passions Of person.
al and mercenary politics. Tt does not
become us to be apathetic This is
not a society of despniring dastards
or luxurious laggards. The sons of
Tammany are not SO gracious as to toss
the parents head back on the couch of
ianguishing, as if already dead. Sup
pose there has been a strange leth,rgy,
and wrongs have grown to monstrous
proportions, does it follow that the
power that allowed, either in heaven
or earth, will ever rerpetuate? Sup
pose that the last election continued

capable, demoralizing rule, is it at such
time that you leave the land To the

Urdsy afternoon the, village of Marshall,
IN Madison County, and vicinity was
visited by q destructive storm of wind

woman named Margret Massey, and
destroyed the growing corn and
tobacco crops. Mrs. Massey was at
work in a field with two men, Ruckner
and Pierce, the latter plowing, while
she followed with a hoe. During the
storm they sought shelter in a shuck
pen, ut the base of 4 hill, when q tree.

and the volume of water which swept
down the hill rolled it over the frail

engaged in feeding his cattle, he was
suddenly and unexpectedly attacked by
an enraged bull, who terribly gored
him in one OF his thighs, thus inflict-

thrown, by the beast, over rail fence
into an adjoining field, and left in an uu-

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and |
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"
