Clerical Dress

At pastors meeting, held in New
York last week, the question of clerical
dress came up. Some advocated the
wearing of the black robes, others de-
nounced the garb as unseemly and rit-
ualistic. There is nothing more arbi-
trary than "clerical dress" In Eng
land there are two styles, that of the
Establishment that of the Dissent.
You can tell High churchman from a
Low churchmaD, the one wearing a
cravat without a collar, and the other a
collar without a cravat. The great
army of the Establishment wear dress
as distinctive as the "Queen's Own.
The dress of the Dissenters and that OF
a servant in a nobleman's house are
alike. both wearing white cravats and
black coat and pants. Spurgeon wears
this dress with this difference instead
of a swallow-tail coat he wears a black
frock. In the days of Stillman and
Baldwin. ordained clergymen OF all de-
nom.Aations wore the bands, and q
large portion of them wore the black
gown. In their own pulpits, Drs. Bald
win and Stillman preached IN ia can
onicals. Bishop Asbury, the hrsi
American bishop of the Methodlsi
church, travelled over the savannahs
and waste places of the south, and per-
formed his functions in that wild re-
gion in full bishops dress. The white
cravat was not a clerical badge. 1t was
worn by all gentlemen, judges, lawyers
merchants, scholars, as well as py
clergymel. No one was dressed with
out white cravat. When other class
es abandoned the distinction, the clergy
refu sed to follow the fashions one
Brooklyn pastor astonished his audi
ence by coming into the pulpit with
white scarf and red necktie.

George EliOt's Work.

A writer, speaking of George Eliot,
saws: "George Eliot's mode of COM
position, spontaneous as she is in ex-
preston, is extremely painstaking.
She always endeavors to do her best,
and is never satisfied when she feels
that she has done it. Sometimes she
writes pages upon pages; goes over
them carefully ,corrects, ,prunes, ,polishes,
and then, destroying every line OF the
Iaborious composition, sets herself res
olutely to doing the whole work again.
At other times she writes for an entire
day, hardly making an erasure, and
lets her copy stand as her happiest ex-
preston. She believes in felicitous
moods and yet she tolls at her MSS.
on an average fully six hours day.
One day she may do three or four thou
sand words another she will not do
four hundred. But much or little she
is satisfied with her achievement, con-
vinced that it is the best possible un-
der the circumstances. She says that
frequently the things that cost her the
most efforts attract the least attQption,
and that the converse of this is equally
true. Clearly comprehending her gen.
ius, she knows that genius will accom-
plish nothing without work, and she
works as hard as If she was devoid OF
every particle of inspiration. I have
been told that during some weeks, en-
nSracing forty hours of the severest la
Dor, she does not produce more than

The south Carolina Cotton Crop.

The Charleston News gives the fol
lowing report of the cotton crop of
South Carolina
Only nine counties in the state have
failed to furnish reports. The remain
ing counties differ widely from each
other in some particulars (; but they
show, as a whole, decrease in the cot
ton area, and worce stand and an in
ferior cotton prospect, as compal ed with
1873 but they show, likewise, a larger
area and a better prospect for grain,
with a general falling off in the use of
commercial fertilizers. The counties
vary so much, however, in situation and
in the quantity of cotton and grain
produced in them, that a simple aver
age, obtained by dividing the the totals
of the columns of the table by the
number of counties, would not give q
correct result. This has made it neces-
sary to take into account tie relative
Importance of the several counties and
the conclusions to which we have come,
after a careful consideration and exam
ination of the subject, are these:
l. The area planted in cotton IN
South Carolina is 9 per cent. less than
in 1878.
2. The cotton stand is inferior to that
of 1873, to the extent of per cent.
3aThe cotton prospect is 9 per cent.
less favorable than in 1873.
f. The area planted in grain shows
an increase of u per cent. as compared
with 1873.
5. The prospects of the grain crop
are IL per cent. better than in 1873.
6. The decrease in the use of com
mercial fertilizers is equal to 27 per
cent.
7. The cost of labor is about the
same as last year, but with an upward
tendency.
Our estimate of the decreased cotton
area in this state agrees, it will be seen,
with that of the agricultural bureau,
and we think that the remaining esti-
mates will be found substantially cor
rect. The important point now is, the
decrease in the area in grain. Later on
we hope to be able to show, more ex-
actly, the prospects of the cotton crop,
which depend very much on the charac-
ter and length of the summer season.
