It would thus appear that in a period OF
great dullness in cloth fabrics the consump-
lion of cotton has nearly kept pace with The
increased production. 1t must afford encour-
agement to the South to persevere In the
effurt to increase materially the growth OIL
American cotton. It ls demonstrated that

THE COURSE OF COTTON.

There has peen marked decline In cotton

check. The following is a. comparison of

THE CHANCES FOR STOKES.
His Counsel Succeed In Securing stay
OF Proceedings.

NEW YORK, February Is.
The last effort of the counsel OF the con:
victed murderer, Stokes, was to gain delay
until there is full bench IN the Supreme
Gonrt to test the constitulionality of the Jury
law OF 1872, under the provisions of which
the inry iu his case was drawn. This has re.
suited successfully, Judge Davis having this
evening granted a stay of proceedings.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1873-02-17

This decline has been variously accounted
for. 1t was preclpltated, no doubt, by The
anxiety Of parties who had been operating
for Iise 10 sell and secure the profits which
the previous advance would bring to them.
But 1t is largely due 10 considerable and
somewhat unexpected Increase in the receipts
at the ports. Besides, the accounts from
markets for goods, both home and abroad,
have been anything but fatlering, and have
undoubtedly ch ,cked the demand for con-
sumption and shipmente. The Inherent
strength of the market Ia demonstrated, how
ever, In the fact that with an Increase Of re-
celpts, a subsidence OF speculation and falling
off In the demand for export and consumption
there Is no greater decline. Toe following is

FACTS IN NATURAL HISTORY.

The rattlesnake finds a superior
foe in the deer and black snake.
Whenever a buck discovers a rattle,
snake in a situation which invites at
tack, he loses no time in preparing
for battle. He makes up within ten
or twelve feet of the snake, then leaps
forward and aims to sever the body
of the snake with his sharp hoofs,
the first onset is most commonly
successful, bnt if otherwise, the buck
repeats the trial until he cuts the
snake in twain. TIL black snake
is also more than an equal competi,
tor against the rattlesnake. Such is
the CELEBRITY, both in running and en-
twining itself around its victim, that
the rattlesnake has no way of escap-
ing from is fatal embrace. When
the black snake and rattlesnake are
about to meet for battle, the former
darts forward at the height of his
speed, and strikes at the back of the
back of the neck of the latter with
unerring certainty, leaving foot or
two Of the upper part of the body at
liberty. In an instant he encircDes
him within five or six folds ; he then
stops and looks the strangled foe in
the face, to ascertain the effect pro-
duce1 upon his corseted body. If
he shows signs of life, the coils are
multiplied and the screws frightened,
the operator all the while watching
the countenan sc of his victim. Thus
the two remain thirty or forty min
tes the executioner then slackens
one coil, Noticing at the same time
whether any signs of life appear IT
so the coil is resumed and retained
until the incarcerated wretch is com
ple,ely dead. The moccasin snake
is killed in the same way.

COFFEE MAXIM c.

Bad coffee-we might say execra-
BILE coffee-is the rule on American
tables. This is not because the raw
material is bad, for there Is always a
supply of excellent Java and Rio
coffee Ito say nothing of other varie-
ties) in market, but because it is not
properly treated. 1t is often badly
roasted; it is afterwards permitted
to lose it's flavor by exposure to the
air; it is generally to coarsely ground;
it is almost always boiled too much
and not well settled; it is served
with raw instead of boiled milk-all
of which are fatal errors. Avoid
them, and. Procure good raw
coffee; q Roast Tin closed vessel

the surface Of the berry, and no
longer; grind very fine and keep in
a glass self-sealing can, or grind on
ly so much as is required for use at
one time; 4. If boiled at all let it
not be over three minutes, and be
we'll settled; s. 1t is best made by
filtering boiling water through it in
a French coffee-pot, or by inclosing
it in flannel bag to be suspended
in the pot, and then pouring boiling
water upon it, in which way no set

6. Let it be very strong, and dilute
it with rich boiled milk, adding
cream, if you have it; Z. Sweeten
with white sugar. If you do not like
coffee made in this way,-well tastes
differ. We think it delicious.

HUNGRY HEARTS.

HUNGRY HEARTS.
BY R. AGNES C.
Do not faces often tell us
The feelings of the heart below
Hungry, eager, longing faces;
For the love they never know?
There are surely kindred natures
For each heart upon the earth;
Yet the seeking, never-fnding,
Leaves that heart q fearless dearth.
Loving, tender, humane natures
Could they touch and never part;
Why, OF should it be denied them
Why this starving of the heart?
Oh, the bitter, uncsred- for feeling,
When the heart is loving SO;
All its wealth, it's deep reyealings,
No other heart may ever know.
Yet if not here, in the hereafter
Every hungry soul is fed;
Heavens love will be sufficient,
When to its fountains they are led.
There no sadly longing faces
For love we shall ever see;
Never there such earthly sorrow;
Gods eternal love lie free.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD "LAoY."

Formerly, in England, when the
affluent lived the whole year round
at,their mansions in the country, the
lady of the manor distributed to her
poor neighbors, with her own hands,
once week or oftener, certain
quantity of bread, and she was.called
by them "Leff.day," that is. in the
Saxon, the bread-giver. The two
words were in time corrupted, and
the meaning is now as little known as
the practice which gave rise to it !;
yet It is to that hospitable custom
that, to this day, the ladies of that
alone serve the meat at
their own tables. y.

THE SIcNSoF MADNESS IN DOGS.

The British Medical Journal calls
attention to the measures recommen-
ded by the Council of Hygiene of
Bordeaux, for the better protection
of people against hydrophobia. 1t is
we'll known that the madness of dogs
has period which is premonitory
and harmless. If these periods were
generally known, the dogs could be
put out Of the way before they be-
come dangerous. On this subject
the Council of Hygiene has issued
the following instructions
ga short time, sometimes two
days, after madness has siezed dog,
it creates symptoms in the animal
which it is indispensable to recog
nize.
81. There is agitation and restless.
ness, and the dog turns himself con-
tinually in his kennel. If he be at
liberty, he goes and comes, and
seems to be seeking something ; then
he remains motionless, as if waiting f;
then starts. bites the air, as if he
would catch fly, then dashes him
self bowling and barking against the
wall. The voice of his master dissi-
patrs these Authorizations ; the dog
obeys, but slowly, with hesitation,
as if with regret.
go. He does not try 10 bite, he is
gentle, even atfectionate, and he eats
and drinks, but gnaws his litter, the
ends of curtains, the padding Ofcush-
ions, the coverlid of beds, carpets,
etc.
80. By the movement OF his paws
about the sides of his open mouth,
one would think he was try ing to free
his throat of bone.
"4. His voice undergoes such a
change that it is impossible not to be
struck by it.
"5. The dog begins to fight with
other dogs this is decidedly char,
acteristlc sign, if the dog be general
ly peaceful.
"The three SYMPTOMS last mention
ed indicate an advanced period OF
the disease, and that the dog may
become. dangerous at any moment
if immediate measures are not taken.
1t is best to chain him Tsp at once, or
better still, to kill him."
The Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal suggests that this advice be
inserted at least once year In the
public papers. 1t would also seem
particularly desirable and practicable
that these rules should be printed
on the back of the notices and re
ceipts for dog-taxes. These excel
lent measures ought to be generally
adopted.

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruf, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
