"Then you and must &c round and
explain matters to everybody, that's
all, " said the farmer.
And Mrs. Peckington began to cry.
"Poor Cora" she sobbed, "poor
mothe1less child I could bite out my
tongue when think what wicked things
I have spoken with it. But I'll 60 right
over there and beg her pardon, and
Georges too"
Cora Merrilton forgave Mrs. Pecking-
ton much more sweetly and readily
than her husband could bring himself
to do-and she even came over to help
the widow make wedding cake for her
own matrimonial benefit.
"For, of course, I knew it would all
be set right sooner or later" said Cora,
cheerfully, "and we'll let by-gones be
by-gones."
And the widow solaced her conscience
by presenting Mrs. Cora with just half
the contents of the mischievous leather
bag for wedding present.

Note By wife.-Our fuel is burned in
two stoves, our coal hods are filed
every morning and must last through
each day. To regulate the consump-
ton, we have two sticks of unequal
lengths these are used to measure the
emptiness of the coal hods. When
noon comes tho first stick must just
reach the level of the coal in each hod.
The second stick is to adjust the
amount to be burned from noon until
four o'clock in the afternoon. The
quantity remaining in each hod after
that must last until We retire.
On Thursday by inadvertence the
drafts in the stoves were kept open too
long, and evening found US without
coal in the hods, and as our family is
regulated by perfect system, it was
not allowable to take more coal from
the bin (all defalcations result from
Thursday taking a part OF Fridays
coal), consequently the baby caught
cold. By Friday bad case OF Group
was developed, and on Saturday morn
ing our little darling passed on. As
the head of the family was returning
homeward on Friday evening he not
ticed piece of paper suitable for
kindling in the gutter, and STOPPING to
pick it up he slipped and irremediably
tore his panlaloons. So that our

THE KlDNAPPERS.

CHICAGO Oct. 13.-Some weeks since one Geo.
W. Smith was kidnapped from Massac county,
Illinois, and taken to tennessee, where 1t is al
legged he is under indictment for murder. The
attention of Governor Beveridge was called to
the matter, and he demanded from Governor
Brown, of Tennessee, the return Of Smith and
the delivery 10 the Illinois State authorities Of
the kldnappers, b. X. WarA and M. L. Smith.
Governor Brown has at last replied to the de-
mand.
He reviews the facts in the case, admits
that the action of the Tennessee officials waA
without warrant OF law, but hopes that inasmuch
as Smith is VIGOROUSLY guilty of murder, and
that as there was no intentional disrespect shown
to the authorities of this State, Gov. Beverdge
may find it compatible with his sense Of duty
to let the matter rest as it now stands. This Gov.
Beveridge is not willing to do, but on the con-
trary renews his demand for the return of Smith
and for the arrest and delivery to the State ar-
thorities of the kidnappers.
He says that the guilt or innocence OF the ac-
cused is not guestioned-the laws Of Illinois pro-
vide for the detention for u reasonable time Of
any person against whom there is evidence Of
liability for crime in another State, and that the
abductors had no authority or legal pretence for
their act. 1t is said that the murder with which
the prisoner Smith is charged is the killing Of q
man who attempted to prevent his desertion
from the Confederate army.

THE COTTON CROP.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The condition of the
cotton crop is indicated by tho following State
ayera ges, deducted from the October returns Of
the Department Of Agriculture. The crop Of
Virginia is too small to influence perceptibly the
general result North Carolina SIS, q decline Of
two per cent during September; South Carolina
81, decline of per cent /; Georgia 40, an i'm
provement of per cent; Florida 81, an inn
provement of per cent; Alabama Is, d decline
Of per cent mississippi n, no change Louis
lana 62, no change Texas 70, an increase Of 5
per cent; Arkansas So, an increase OF 8 per
cent Tennessee 81, an increase OF per cent.
The crop notes shows that on the Atlantic
rust, and excessive rains in some cases accompa-
MED by beating winds in Gulf Coast States; . few
cases Of insect injuries are added to the above,
but the weather was also very unfavorable to the
development Of destructive insect life. In some
cases continued drOuth Of three months il re-
ported. The top crop was dried up and the mid
die crop greatly reduced. The crop opens freely
and the picking generally was in rapid progresss
in some cases the seed had sprouted in the boil.
Along the coast of Texas heavy rains fell, &C.
companied by gales, lasting several days. In
the inland States, Arkansas aud Tennessee, sew
eral counties report IN improvement in the con-
ditiOns Of the growth, though in one or
two no rain has fallen since May; in others tho
drOuth has not been severe.
The above averages refer only to the condition
of the crop OF the 1st day of October, including
the state of development, vitality and healthful-
ness. This is but one element in the calculation
of the yield in quantity, which has not yet been
completed.
