FATTENING YOUNG WoMEN.-Through-
out the interior of Africa, and indeed in
some parts of Asia woman is priced for
tatness. Beauty is associated with exces-
sive obsity and such being the public
sentiment, mothers seasonabiy commence
a system of dietetic treatment that
makes their daughters irresistible. Col.
Keating's travels gives an account ofthe
process of fitting young women for a
Tunis market. AS soon as betrothed
she is cooped up in small room, with
gold shackIes, on her ankles. II her pro-
prietor has lost wife by death or di-
vorced one, anklets are sent forward 10
the new matrimonial candidate. When
she has attained desirable size, indlca.
ted by filling the patern rings, she is car
ried in trinmph to her new home.
The preparation OF food that actually
produces that coveted dimi sions-a noun
tain of fatness-is called dough, made Of
the seeds of vegetable peculiar to the
country. Some positively die from ex
cessive tatness in an effort 10 surpas in
that bewitching accomplishment, rival
candidates for matrimonial positions
These famous mortals are not the poor
girls. They are the niger orders in So
ciety, and therefore are ambitious, Ike
tashionables in some civilized states OF
securing an elevated position with rich
husband. Bruce, a traveller, saw great
queen in Africa gem of women, the
envy of her sex and wife hunters--who
weighed over four hundred.

CONDITION. OF AFFAIRS IN ALABAMA. -Ad.
vices received from Alabama represent that
this year has been one of unprecedented calami-
ty and disaster. The failure of the cotton crop
has been Intensified by the monetary crash,
and the farmers being unable to subsist the ne
grocs or to borrow money, as formerly, are un-
der an, absolute necessity of curtailing their
scale OF operations, and the negroes are forced
to seek food and shelter in Mississippi. Da
las, Perry, Hale and Marengo will lose one
third Of their negro laborers this Fall and Win.
ter, aud it is thought that at least $4,000 ne
groes will leave the State, and that many farm.
ers will be without hands next year. This
exodus OF the laboring population has unsettled
and derangcd everything, aud land can hardly
be sold or rented for fair price ln the black
lands Mules and horses will be in little or
no demand in Alabama this Winter or next
Spring. Indeed, the agricultural change so
long and earnestly wished for by many is about
to be reaized-the surrendering ofcotton asth
prime crop. Land owners must now abandon
cotton and devote themselves to small grain and
stock; small farms will be the rule, and white
labor must take the place of that heretofore
employed in the cotton felds.-Bak Amer.

it's predecessor of the same nature,
both as to the time each occupied and
the skill displayed in the prosecution

close attention Of the court, the jury

OF certain causes. Upon this princi-
pie all natural phenomena. may be

goyegament Of this State, professedly

is easy to show, too. that the condi-
tion Of the State is the result Of its
being thoroughly Radicalized.
1t is not unfair to conclude that
the rage of vice and crime in the

fruits that Radicalism has gwen birth
to. /, This, conclusion is deducible
from the fact. that the State govern

either failing: to, provide, adequate
punishment for offenders against the
